10 Musicians Who Hid Original Tracks In Your Favourite Games

7. Avenged Sevenfold - Black Ops 2

Black_Ops_2_feature-600x300ActivisionProbably the least surprising entry on the list. Call Of Duty is known for its massive ad campaigns, and this well publicised collaboration is one you were most likely already aware of. With Avenged Sevenfold's vocalist M Shadows being a huge gaming fan, this is one of the least cynical collaborations on the list, and this cheesy metal track serves its purpose perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJbrTgUL0Dk The combination of Black Ops 2's frantic team-based zombie mode and Avenged sevenfold's driving metal track is a great match, and one of the few songs on this list that suits its subject material. While not a great song, its cheesy, over the top and fast - just like COD. An original game song done (almost) right.
