Today HMX announce the launch of their much praised and highly anticipated program (in Beta form) - the Rock Band Network. The RBN is a unique program that allows anyone to upload their own music directly into the Rock Band game. A special program released by HMX months back detailed how one would upload their music onto the program and chart each instrument accordingly, very similar to how HMX chart the music they release. Only several songs have been made available and will remain exclusive...
This week HMX will be releasing the 6 exclusive tracks from the long since released Metal Track pack, plus a bonus. In case people forgot, the Metal Track pack was released in September consisting of mostly songs found on the PSN/Rock Band Music Store. However there were 6 exclusive songs -
"Transmaniacon MC" - Blue Öyster Cult
"Bulls On Parade" - Rage Against the Machine
"Hair Of The Dog" - Nazareth (re-recording)
"Master Of The Universe" - Hawkwind
"Killed By Death '08" - Motörhead...
Next week from HMX we have the second pack of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from their most recent release Live Anthology. With such hits as "Breakdown" and "The Waiting", and other deeper cuts as "Nightwatchman" and "Jammin' Me".
I'm still wondering why no "Learning To Fly"...

With all these "pack 02"es lately, I think HMX has something big around the corner...stay posted.

Two songs from their new album, Black Gives Way To Blue, "Your Decision" and "Last of My Kind". Along with those, three classic Alice In Chains songs, "Grind" and "Heaven Beside You" from their self-titled album, and "We Die Young" from their debut album Facelift.
And nothing from Dirt? You've got guts, HMX. Bu...
