Guitar Hero III Gets World of Warcraft Track

Blizzard blares its heavy metal Murloc anthem on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The fist sign of synergy after the Activision Blizzard merger isn’t quite a Blizzard-developed Guitar Hero MMOG. Rather, Guitar Hero is offering for free the only noteworthy rock song from World of Warcraft.

“I Am Murloc”, a tribute to the walking fish-people that inhabit the coastal regions of the virtual world, was recorded by Blizzard’s in-house band, Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain. It debuted in 2005 at Blizzard Entertainment’s BlizzCon 2005 convention in Anaheim, CA.

Now available on both Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network, this free download was also released to build anticipation for this weekend’s Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational held in Paris, France.
