Activision flashes indie talent.

Activision has popped a fresh pack of Guitar Hero II songs onto Xbox Live.

It features tracks from three bands you have probably never heard of: Detonation by Trivium, Ex's and Oh's by Atreyu ("ARTAAAAX!") and Bury the Hatchet by Protest the Hero.

There's a trailer so you can have a listen before you buy. The Indie Label Pack costs 500 points (GBP 4.25 / EUR 5.82).

Random trivia fact: Atreyu is the main character from Neverending Story.

I knew I had heard it somewhere.

Also, meh at the songs.

I'm not Kelduum, but I believe the flying dog dragon thing was called Falco, or Falcore, something like that.

The lucky dragon in Neverending Story was called Fuchur. I suppose that�s what you mean by "flying dog dragon thing".

"surely it makes more sense to bundle up three of the songs from GH3 and sell it as a "preview pack" or something?"

Careful, you'll be paying for a demo next.

It means they are attempting the "metal" sound, but are just too talentless to actually achieve it.

Erm...

Trivium and Atreyu are commonly classed as METAL bands, not indie.

Ex's And Oh's is a great tune, and Detonation features some good guitar playing. Don't like Protest The Hero though
