New 'Brutal Legend' maps announced

The umlauts are well-known, the game has gotten its fair share of notoriety, and even the game's creator Tim Schafer has made an appearance on late night TV. Now, on Nov. 19, the first piece of downloadable content for Brutal Legend will be available.

The map pack, called Tears of the Hextadon, will feature two new maps. The first is called "Circle of Tears." Here's how the press release describes it: "Vile waters have carved a rough-hewn circular battlefield into a forsaken land that players must circumvent to destroy their opponent."

Saucy. And the second map, "Death's Fjord?" "Players find themselves on an icy mountain pass with a dense cluster of fans that lie below, waiting to be harvested by those brave enough to capture them without cover from enemy attack."

Wow. Also, everybody who purchases the map pack will receive a free in-game axe, the Blade of Ormagöden. That game is so metal. Here's the intro video to the game:
