5 Heavy Bands Who Sampled Popular Video Games

5. Knocked Loose - "In The Walls" Samples P.T.

The most recent example on this list, "In the Walls" is the 5th song of off the Kentucky hardcore band's sophomore album A Different Shade of Blue. The record is made up of the same vicious instrumentals, poignant lyrics and brutal vocals that rocketed Knocked Loose to the forefront of the hardcore/punk scene in 2016.

These attributes are interwoven into the record's very fabric with the record's darkest segment hidden deeply in the body of this nightmare soundtrack. The outro of its fifth track "In The Walls" contains a disturbing broadcast describing the events of a father slaughtering his family after lunch on a Sunday afternoon.

“The day of the crime, the father went to the trunk of his car, retrieved the rifle, and shot his wife as she was cleaning up the kitchen after lunch.

When his ten-year-old son came to investigate the commotion, the father shot him, too. His six-year-old daughter had the good sense to hide in the bathroom, but reports suggest he lured her out by telling her it was just a game."

If this brings back terrifying flashbacks then you too were probably a fan of Hideo Kojima's playable trailer for the unfinished Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. The sample is a radio broadcast describing the events of a bloodbath that occurred in the very home your character is currently stuck endlessly looping throughout.

It's also the last thing the character hears before turning into the game's biggest jump scare - being mauled by one of the victims of the Sunday afternoon massacre.
