• Serj Tankian (System of a Down)
• Matt Heafy (Trivium)
• Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity)
• Randy Blythe (Lamb of God)
• Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy)
• Tatiana Shmailyuk (Jinjer)

Why I Loved It

Returning to Metal: Hellsinger after playing it for the first time last July felt like reconnecting with an old favorite. As someone who’s passionate about music—writing, playing guitar, singing—and loves classic video games, this game is a “dream” come true. It channels the raw energy of Doom, combining intense first-person action with a heavy metal soundtrack that’s worth playing for alone.

A Symphony of Destruction

Each track not only fuels the game’s adrenaline but integrates seamlessly with its mechanics. Precision and timing are everything—sync your attacks and movements with the beat for maximum impact. It’s a gameplay loop that feels satisfying and, frankly, addictive.

Final Thoughts

Metal: Hellsinger combines FPS combat with rhythm mechanics, rewarding attacks timed to the music. Its soundtrack and scoring system are central to how each level plays.
