This week’s Rock Band downloadable content brings a pack of songs which I will surely never be able to complete on expert in anything but vocals. The "Earache Thrash Pack" brings three Earache Records recording artists to Rock Band to completely bug the crap out of your neighbors and frighten your cats:

At the Gates - "Blinded By Fear"
Evile - "Thrasher"
The Haunted - "D.O.A."

All songs are of the original recordings and will cost $1.99 (or 160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) a piece. If you’re so inclined to save a few bucks, the entire "Earache Thrash Pack" can be picked up for $5.49 (or 540 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360). 

Back when some of the tracks were first revealed by the Official "Leaky McLeakTown" Xbox Magazine, I said this and I’ll say it again: these songs are pretty great instrumentally, but something tells me that a random set list could be "ruined" by tossing an At The Gates track in between a Red Hot Chili Peppers and a Garbage song.

If only there were a way to disable certain tracks for the game’s "Band World Tour" mode …
