At the end of the day whether you think the music fits in well, or if the bands good or bad, is really down to personal tastes, and you can't really begrude somebody just because of it. Myself I don't have too many problems with the band and the lyrics themselves fit well with the story even if the genre of the music doesn't.
But I think the main reason as to why it was put into the game (and the trailers, along with I think I remember was Marilyn Manson) boils down to one point.
Money.
I don't know if any of you have noticed but the media industry is losing millions of £/$, or whatever currenty you happen to have, every year because of illiegal downloading off the internet, (the music industry espically) so they try to claw as much money back as they possibly can, like limited edition stuff, or over priced DLC...or tacking popular bands onto their products like 30StM
SO BioWare gets more buyers and free advertising of their game because they have a popular band stuck right at the end of their credits and trailers, and as you can tell from this tread 30StM also gets free advertising (after all, most people hadn't even realised that the band was somewhere in the game, even by the players that had completed the game twice! But now because of this tread they do, and also know the band a little better)
