Another week, another Rock Band media alert.

Harmonix and MTV Games always like to remind us that they are “without question” the leaders of the musical genre games in terms of musical content. You can look to next week for a 5-track pack of Alice in Chains songs for further evidence – although they’d probably never need “evidence” as their status is “without question.”

Coming to the 360/Wii on January 12th, and the PS3 January 14th, the tracks are as follows:

- “Grind,” from self-titled 1995 album
- “Heaven Beside You,” from self-titled 1995 album
- “Last of My Kind,” from Black Gives Way to Blue
- “We Die Young,” from Facelift
- “Your Decision,” from Black Gives Way to Blue
 
Let’s play with fire and put the question forth anyway: is Rock Band the leader in the industry?
Cambridge, Mass. – Jan. 8, 2009 – Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that a five pack of songs from Alice In Chains will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system and Wii™.

Alice In Chains is among the more than 390 bands currently available through the Rock Band platform. With more than 1,000 songs available, Rock Band is, without question, the industry leader in providing the best selection of interactive musical content, songs and artists.
