An exclusive record of live concert by goth rock band Within Temptation who has been cooperating with The Chronicles of Spellborn is publishing a concert recording under the name “Black Symphony” on September 19 as double-CD and double-DVD. Prior to the publication, the Dutch metal rockers will release the single “Forgiven” on September 12th as outcoupling in a 5-track premium edition. The single-pack will contain the previously unreleased live bonus tracks “Hand Of Sorrow” and “The Heart Of Everything” as well as a live version of the Spellborn video song “The Howling” in addition to the title track.

The latest MMO to arrive on Steam is Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. It will be available for an additional 10% off for one week until Sept 11. This means that instead of paying the usual $59.99 for it, you are only paying $53.99 - and after your first month subscription fees will start applying. If you are already an existing AoC subscriber, the key you get from Steam will not work.

It looks like Ozzy Osbourne and Jimi Hendrix may be getting some more company on the virtual stage of Guitar Hero: World Tour. Activision has now announced that Sting, frontman and bassist for The Police, will also be making an appearance in the game, allowing players to perform the song “Demolition Man” alongside him. Tied into that news, it was also announced that three Tool tracks have been added to the song list for the game; news that prompted a certain redheaded GT writer (*cough* Steph *cough*) to squeal with glee. Players will be able to rock out to some of Tool’s best songs, including “Parabola,” “Schism, ” and “Vicarious.”
