The announcement came on Thursday that the team at Fallen Earth has partnered with Nuclear Blast Records, the world's largest independent heavy-metal record label, in a bid to incorporate some of the label's popular tracks into the game.

In the next month, developers plan to uncover a brand new underground bunker bar in game, introducing Nuclear Blast Radio and featuring hit tracks from several of the label’s artists including Meshuggah, Soilwork and Testament.

“We listen to so much of Nuclear Blast’s music at the office,” said Senior Game Designer for Fallen Earth, Marie Croall. “This is an awesome opportunity to share our favorite music with our players.”

According to developers, artists and tracks featured on Nuclear Blast Radio will cycle out periodically, offering a new variety for listeners.

Nuclear Blast USA’s Label Manager Gerardo Martínez comments on the partnership: “The music and gaming worlds are natural allies. Luckily, we’re working with game developers who know quality music. Get ready to hear the sounds of Fallen Earth on tour busses across the country!”

By means of the new partnership, several upcoming promotions and artist Q&A sessions have been planned for Fallen Earth.
