Metal Hellsinger, an upcoming rhythm-based FPS, just debuted its latest trailer at The Game Awards 2021. While the trailer itself was relatively brief, it exhibited how the shooter mechanics function alongside the music and reiterated the game’s star-studded list of collaborators from the heavy metal community.
Introduced by Trivium lead guitarist and lead vocalist Matt Heafy and further narrated by video game actor Troy Baker, Metal Hellsinger centers on a demonic protagonist who shoots and skewers her way through Hell. “There was a soul,” Baker’s character says. “Had music inside. They called her The Unknown.”

Again, the trailer isn’t particularly long, although it’s easy to see what developer The Outsiders is going for here. The combat is as fast-paced as what you’d expect from a shooter like Doom, although the interconnectivity between systems and metal music is much more pronounced. As stated in the trailer, Metal Hellsinger’s core objective is to make you “slay to the beat.”
On top of Heafy, Metal Hellsinger will also feature music from Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz, Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, Soilwork’s Björn Strid, Refused’s Dennis Lyxzén, voice actor and vocalist James Dorton, Jinjer’s Tatiana Shmayluk, and Dark Tranquility’s Mikael Stanne. It’s possible that even more artists may be revealed at a later date, although the lineup is already pretty ridiculous as it stands.
Metal Hellsinger is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2022.
