Just in time for Halloween, Atreyu have teamed up with video game creator Jason Oda (Dropkick the Faint) for the first-person shooter “Metalhead Zombies”, which fans can play on the band’s MySpace page.

Biting a fleshy chunk from “Night of the Living Dead” and “Resident Evil”, “Metalhead Zombies” arms gamers with a firearm, then sends them out into a barren wasteland filled with lumbering zombies looking for lunch. Splatter enough of the undead and advance to the next level. But beware. You’ll run out of ammo if you don’t stop at the beams of light to buy new weapons and reload.

The soundtrack for the “Metalhead Zombies” features “Stop! Before It’s Too Late…”, first single “Storm to Pass”, and it marks the debut of a new song, “Gallows”, the hard-hitting and intensely personal song from lead singer Alex Varkatzas. There’s one catch, only the blood-soaked survivors that reach level six will have a chance to feast their ears on the new track.
