It is not every day you hear a heavy metal gaming anthem. Team Vitality has decided to make that a commonality by teaming with Nuclear Blasts, the world’s largest independent heavy metal record label.
This collaboration between Vitality and Nuclear Blasts brings fans ‘Metality’, a heavy metal song written by Trivium’s frontman, Matt Heafy. Heafy also worked alongside renowned producer Josh Wilbur when creating this iconic anthem.
Heavy Metal meets gaming with Vitality’s new anthem
The new anthem Metality was created to help demonstrate the growing parallels between the gaming world and music. This long-term collaboration will help shape the future of music within the gaming industry.
Vitality’s initial goal was to create a song that matches the energy in CS:GO. While trying to find someone to make the song, they realized that the fast-paced and heavy style of music was a perfect fit for Heafy.

”Metal and gaming are two constants in my life that I hold near and dear. I’ve always found that gaming and Metal go so well together… that it’s as if they BELONG together,” said Heafy. “Vitality is an org I have been a longtime fan of. I love their players and I feel they are some of the best on the planet. I love that they have their Metality brand built inside the org as well.”
Heafy went forward to provide insight into his creative process when writing Metality.
“I knew instantly what it needed to sound like. It was such a blast to create the piece in which I heard in my head when I think of Vitality and Metality.”
