Ok, before I start Manson's music is arguably metal. Maybe not metal that fits with fantasy, but still.

Of all the songs to use, they some crappy alternative rock? Why? Alternative rock doesn't go with fantasy. Plus, Metal actually does  go with fantasy (although not Manson).

A decision on behalf of EA and the label of 30 Seconds to Mars. I think they've released an album recently. Simple. No matter it doesn't make sense and sounds very bad in comparison with Manson. He didn't fit in too good too, mind you.

Well, Great bands as "Blind Guardian" does not have mass diffusion, so they consider it's not worth to use some of their Majestic "Bard's" songs.

Metal music is still alive because is non-commercial... better then raw commercial music.

[Scorus]

I wished for Dimmu Borgir with Progenies of the Apocalypse as the opening song.

But alas... No such luck.

[CChocobo]

or some Emmure, or maybe Job For a Cowboy.

just kidding. Well kind of,

[The Angry One]

Because it's a group called 30 Seconds to Mars, and Thedas orbits Mars! Simple!

How does metal go with medieval fantasy? Alternative rock(if it's not pearl jam and other bands) is garbage, but metal and fantasy? What?

You obviously never heard of Folk Metal. (Or Viking Metal, Pagan Metal, Battle Metal, etc. etc. etc.)

Hmm, I thought that the 30 Seconds to Mars song kicked ass. I must just have poor taste.

Symphonic metal, power metal, gothic, folk metal... anyone?
There are plenty of metal bands that deal almost exclusively with fantasy related lyrics sooooooooo
I suggest you make your research on metal genres before coming to such conclusions as metal certainly isn't just Metallica (which I love btw but admit it wouldn't fit with this setting)

[Haasth]

I would have loved to have some Symphonic Metal in here. But I personally think This Is War is a great song too. And generally, they did a great job with the soundtrack.

This. People seem to stereotype Metal quickly. Not everything is Thrash metal.

I stand corrected. Some of those scandinavian bands really do fit the genre. I suppose my definition of metal is skewed.

Manson was a bad choice, admittedly. However, some power metal, folk metal, viking metal etc would've fit far more than any alternative rock.

I feel the same way.

[Behindyounow]

You're entitled to your views, but regardless, it still didn't really fit with DA. Plus, with all the metal in the advertising you'd think they'd put a metal song at the end.

[iSkelly]

Well as far as Manson goes, I think they put his music in the advertisements to make it seem like DA was all badass (which it is). A lot of teenagers love Manson's music, I don't, but if it appeals to the younger age group its good for BioWare and EA. But they probably left out the metal in the campaign because they were trying to go for something huge and epic. Throwing metal in the campaign would've killed the story's feeling.

I dont mean the campain, I mean the credits.

Terrible band.

Metal has been influenced by fantasy since the very beginning: Led Zeppelin, argueably the most influential band in the metal genre, wrote a lot of songs inspired by Lord of the Rings. Fantasy author Michael Moore**** would occasionaly be up on stage with bands like Hawkwind and recite passages from his books back in the 70s. I'd wager metal has more songs based on fantasy books than all other music genres combined.

Edit: Heh, they censored poor Michael's name.

I've always considered Led Zeppelin and Hawkwind to be progressive rock bands. I'm no music buff though, still it seems my definition of metal was badly skewed and well, you learn something new everyday.

This, i was about to post this lol, i listen to Rhapsody while i play fits in nice i think

[Beechwell]

Why would a metal song (if MM is indeed metal) suggest a metal song in the game. I suppose someone thought Manson's song fit the theme of the violence trailer while the 30 Seconds To mars song fit he ending credits. Why should they need to be of the same type of music? There are good songs within and outside of metal.

[sparkyclarky24]

manson was a bad move...theres just.. no need lol... move on from that.



30 seconds to mars are decent so its cool

[Unbroken Lineage]

The end credits song was terrible. I imagine little girls serenading that song to a poster of the lead singer framed in Christmas lights in their otherwise pink bedroom with their hands clasped to their hearts, swaying side to side with their teary eyes closed tight. After the song, she blog about how dreamy the lead singer is and how her mom is so mean because she won't let her go to the show next week but she has a plan: she's going to sneak out with her friend Amy's older sister Julie who just go her license and they're going to take Billy's dad's car because he'll be out of town and so she'll go to the show and the lead singer will look right at her and ask her and her friends to come backstage after the show and they'll talk about how hard life is and how her mom just doesn't get it and it'll be awesome!!!!!!!!

That song was horrible.

--edit-- IMO
