Avenged Sevenfold Joins Trent Reznor on Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's Soundtrack (Listen Here!)

As reported by Game Spot, Avenged Sevenfold's new single "Carry On" will be featured as part Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's soundtrack. Feel free to give it a listen below.

This makes it the second time that the band has worked on a Call of Duty title. Their song "Not Ready to Die" was part of the first Black Ops, and could only be found by activiating special items on that game's zombie map. Given that, and coupled with the fact that Black Ops 2's zombie mode is to be announced today, it's expected that this track will be featured in this game's zombie mode in one way or another.

Avenged Sevenfold joins Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame on the Black Ops soundtrack. Reznor was previously announced as working on the game's soundtrack in July. Reznor has "always looked to that franchise as the cutting edge of what seemingly unlimited budgets and full-on not cutting any corners can do in the current day and age."

The majority of the game, as indicated by the trailer, appears to be set in a war-torn Los Angeles in the year 2025. The People's Republic of China has invaded Los Angeles due to a global struggle involving rare earth minerals. However, according to Black Ops 2's director David Anthony, we will take a trip back to the 80's where we'll meet a younger version of Menendez, and see how events of the past shaped him into the man he becomes. While China is invading, Menendez manages to infiltrate America's drone network, and use it against us. We'd like to think that this is a far fetched plot, or at least an incredibly difficult to achieve one, but a team from the University of Texas has recently proven otherwise.

Players will play as Alex Mercer's (Black Ops protagonist) son, David. Alex will return in Black Ops 2, as will Frank Woods. Players will be able to make choices throughout the game that will affect the story, including a variety of endings.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is set for release on November 13, 2012, and will be available for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
