Bat-eating icon will play The Guardian of Metal

Jack Black will lead the all-star cast.

Ozzy Osbourne is the latest rockstar to be confirmed for an appearance in Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend. The veteran metaller is set to appear as The Guardian of Metal, a character who looks pretty much identical to Ozzy himself. He appears to be a good guy.

Several other rockers have already been revealed for the game. Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford will play two roles: the leader of a friendly biker gang, and General Lionwhyte - the villainous head of The Metal Hair Militia.

Lita Ford from The Runaways and Lemmy from Motorhead are also set to appear. Jack Black plays Eddie Riggs - the heroic roadie caught in a mysterious world based on rock iconography.

During his presentation, Shafer made veiled references to his teenage masturbatory habits. Which was nice.

Ahh c'mon Bloodstorm - metal doesn't have to be serious all the time mate. I think this has the oppurtunity to be quite good fun. I think metal and rock are at it's best when it has it's tongue planted firmly in it's cheek!
