Brütal Legend has finally arrived. This is an experience conceived by Tim Schafer and Jack Black as a homage to Heavy Metal mythology and comedy. The Legend survives a storm of controversy over publishing rights and the casting of Metal God cameos. Jack Black stars as Eddie Riggs, the best roadie that ever lived.

Get ready to romp in an open-world tribute to classic Heavy Metal album covers. Praise Ormagöden, The Fire Beast, Cremator of the Sky, and Destroyer of the Ancient World!
