Heavy metal is making its way to Sacred 2 – Fallen Angel, the upcoming sequel to the award-winning action-RPG. German metal band Blind Guardian is announced to be recording a special song for the game, which will be released as a separate single next year. Additionally, the music video for the song will feature sequences taken straight from the game. Most interestingly, players will be able to see the band perform their song “live” in the game by solving a quest, unlocking a bonus event. The whole thing is motion-captured, so it should be fun to watch.

“To us, SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel is a dream come true, because, like all the other fantasy computer game maniacs, we had to wait a very long time for the sequel to the legendary SACRED. Thanks to its complex fantasy world and detailed characters, SACRED has become one of our absolute favorites, and we also loved both its storyboard and the tie-in novels. It’s just awesome to become part of that SACRED world now. Music, story and images will merge to a perfect whole”, said Blind Guardian vocalist Hansi Kürsch.

The game itself is due out sometime next year on PC and Xbox 360.
