Metal Insider [via Daily Swarm] reported today that the Iron Man sequel, due out this summer, is slated to be even more of a metalfest than we thought it would be. In addition to the Lamb of God songs slated to be included in the video game, and the bunch of AC/DC songs known to be peppered throughout the flick, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has been brought on board to score the rest of the film’s music. [To clarify, Morello will be working in collaboration with Academy
Award-nominated film composer John Debney. - ed.]

Morello is apparently no stranger to soundtrack work, as he has laid down original guitar tracks not only for the first Iron Man movie, but also Talladega Nights: The Story of Ricky Bobby, and xXx: State of the Union, not to mention the dozens of other movie, TV and video game moments in which his guitar appears by way of collaboration with other artists (Crystal Method, Cypress Hill, etc.)

Now if only there were a scene in IM2, some kind of feverish dream sequence perhaps, featuring the music alluded to in the headline — that would be something. For those whose interests were piqued by the pun, you may be excited to know that Mr. Reed has officially re-issued his 1975 noise classic and is selling it exclusively via his website, in the run-up to his European tour with the Metal Machine Trio. A sweet little taste after the jump.
