New to RBN: "Console War" by DRUOX

Prepare to feel the burn. Available in both standard and double bass flavors.

One of the complaints we have received was we did not have any songs for the "hardcore" players. You know, the people who study paths and like to show off their full combos and high scores on sites like ScoreHero. Well, we've heard the requests and now we have delivered. Introducing "Console War" by DRUOX.

Also known as DruoxTheShredder, DRUOX is an Internet voice-acting talent and comedic music artist. His page on NewGrounds features tons of songs ranging from original compositions to video game parodies. He is also a regular on the Machinima web series "Sanity Not Included", which pokes fun at the gaming culture.

"Console War" is from the soundtrack of that series, and tells the tale of how the battle for dominance in the video game console market has progressed through the years.

You can see a preview of the finished song here:

We also have released a version that includes double bass, for players with two pedals on their kit:

"Console War" is available for Rock Band 3 on the Xbox 360 starting Thursday, January 12th for 80 Microsoft Points ($0.99 USD). Please note that the standard and double bass versions are different game tracks, although they are identicle with the exception of the expert drums chart. The two versions are not compatible with each other for online play.
