Brütal Legend is an action adventure game under development by Double Fine Productions and published by Electronic Arts for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is the second game from Double Fine Productions, following the critically-acclaimed Psychonauts. The game was announced by Game Informer magazine in their November 2007 issue and will star Jack Black.

Brütal Legend follows the story of Eddie Riggs (named for Eddie the Head, the mascot of Iron Maiden, and Derek Riggs, the artist who created him), who is living as a roadie for a Heavy Metal band. The game begins one night before a gig. As Riggs is tuning a guitar, an accident happens and he starts to bleed, his blood dripping onto his cursed belt buckle, which bears a strong resemblance to Motörhead's Snaggletooth emblem. Before he knows it, the beast on his buckle has come alive and transported him into a Heavy Metal and Nordic fantasy inspired alternate history where demons have enslaved humanity.
