Brutal Legend soundtrack leaked

Anvil! Priest! Carcass! Budgie!

A full soundtrack listing for Double Fine's metal adventure Brutal Legend has appeared - and disappeared - on EA Denmark's website.

Preserved for posterity by Kotaku, the list is a 100-strong who's who of heavy metal and hard rock with a serious seventies and eighties slant, and only a smattering of modern tracks by the likes of Mastodon.

Naturally, the game's voice-acting stars steal the limelight, with Lemmy's Motorhead being represented by four tracks (no Ace of Spades, though), Ozzy Osbourne getting three solo tunes and three Black Sabbath recordings on there, and Jack Black's Tenacious D sneaking on a couple of songs.

Judas Priest get a whopping five tracks, and Motley Crue and Megadeth are well represented - but you'll note the absence of Guitar Hero and Rock Band cover stars Iron Maiden, Metallica and AC/DC.

So much the better if it means more room for the likes of Ratt, UFO, Budgie, the mighty Carcass and of course not forgetting the real Spinal Tap, Anvil. Here's the full list:
