This was the first time we'd ever written a song for something specifically, and we had a blast doing it.ĪGB: "Not Ready to Die" was not only written for the "Call of the Dead" map, you also wrote it about Black Ops. Later, they asked us if we wanted to do a song for DLC map for Zombies. When Black Ops was coming out, we were getting ready to go on tour and put our lives back in order, and I was like, "Man, I'd really love to meet some of the people over there." When we did, they asked if they could use one of our songs for a trailer and ended up using our song "Welcome to the Family" in a trailer. It was good to be able to play with people online and not have to talk about what I'd gone through. Well, some friends came over and were like, "Hey, we should play some Modern Warfare 2." I found a lot of solace and comfort in gaming. I didn't want to leave house I thought the world was ending. M Shadows (MS): I grew up playing games but had kind of fallen out of it for a while. How did you end up writing that song for the game? We recently spoke to Shadows about how they first got involved in this shooter series, and how his love of the game helped him in his time of need.Īctivision Games Blog (AGB): One of your earliest collaborations with Treyarch was the song "Not Ready to Die," which was not only featured in the Zombies mode map "Call of the Dead" in the first Black Ops, but also featured in a sample of the song "Damned" that Kevin Sherwood had written for the game's score. Treyarch even hid some Sevenfold-related Easter eggs in one of the new Blackout maps. Not only have the metal band recorded new songs for all four installments - which they've collected on the new EP Black Reign - but they briefly appeared in the 2012's Black Ops II, while singer M Shadows was recently added as a playable character in Black Ops 4's Blackout mode.
