"Gears of War" is a song by the American thrash metal band Megadeth. It was released as a promotional single from their tenth studio album United Abominations (2007). It was the first song from the album released. An instrumental of the song is featured in the 2006 video game of the same name.
"Gears of War" is featured on the soundtrack to the video game Gears of War. Initially, the song had no lyrics; however, Microsoft approached Megadeth, asking to use the song in Gears of War. The band accepted the offer and wrote lyrics for the song, but it was too late to use the lyrics in the version for the game, as the game was near completion.[4] The lyrics were written about the Bosnian War.[5]
A demo of the song was released on the band's website on November 22, 2006.[6]
