Activision and FreeStyleGames have today pressed the big green go button on a special 5-day guitar playing marathon, welcoming Dragonforce to the library at the same time.
Beginning today, the console versions of the game will give fans the chance to join a unique 5 day SHRED-A-THON, including the highly anticipated debut of Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce.
The Shred-a-Thon goes live on a special third channel in GHTV, and runs from now until Monday, 8th February at 3pm GMT. It includes the following tracks on repeat…
- DragonForce – Through the Fire and Flames
- Alter Bridge – Cry of Achilles
- Megadeth – Hangar 18
- Lamb of God – Ghost Walking
- Trivium – Strife
Following the end of the special five day session, Through the Fire and Flames will be added to the catalogue as a regular tune.
“The Guitar Hero community is the lifeblood of the game, so we knew we had to do something huge to bring back one of the most beloved songs of all time,” said Jamie Jackson, Creative Director and Co-Head of FreeStyleGames. “Everyone at the studio has fond memories with Through the Fire and Flames, so we decided to take it up a notch and combine it with the toughest songs in the game hand-picked by us to create the ultimate challenge: a five-day shredder marathon. It’s time to crank it up to expert difficulty and show us what you got!”
Guitar Hero Live is available right now on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, WiiU, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
