I simply have to post this! On the official website of id Software’s upcoming first person shooter “RAGE”, they are offering an exclusive free downloadable song by the one and only Mark Lanegan! I beg you to visit and download it.
Lanegan is, and has been, my personal #1 artist of all time ever since I first started to discover his massive catalog of music several years ago. I get genuinely excited to see everything new he does, and to see him maintain such an original and brilliant song for a videogame reinforces what makes him the best. As a matter of fact, for those of you who’ve enjoyed the awesome introduction music to my podcasts, it’s taken from an old Screaming Trees song!
Uhh… okay, so that video isn’t representative of how great the song really is… Wait, here’s the real thing. That was back when grunge was alive. Not quite as cool as Burning Jacob’s Ladder. Okay, I’ll stop now.
