A 2CD Age of Conan soundtrack has been announced by FunCom, and it will feature threes songs from the Nowegian band Turbonegro. Turbonegro also performed at the Age of Conan launch event. Lead singer Hank von Helvete claims to have read every Conan comic and is a huge fan of Conan. Fellow band member Happy-Tom, says Hank is one of Norways biggest Conan fans. CD1 of the soundtrack can be purchased at iTunes, while CD2 will be released during june.
It’s just perfect that Age of Conan is supported with a song from Turbonegro – the two hardest rocking pieces of entertainment to ever come out of Norway. As a huge Conan fan, I am proud to be part of this statement against modern life boredom and common life impotency. Heads must and shall roll.

As a fan of the great band Turbonegro, I think this is pretty cool. I have followed them and their music the last five years or so. If you haven’t allready listened to their music, I advice you to do so. It is worth to mention that Turbonegro are in my opinion of of the best, of not the best, live bands in Norway. They make a great show at every gig they do.
The band (Tubronegro) has been featured in numerous feature films and TV-series, most notably CSI, Jackass (MTV-series + both feature movies), Wildboyz (title song), Viva La Bam and Dirty Sanchez, as well as the game Rock Band II.
If we can believe FunCom, Turbonegro will appear at Rock Band II. I have played a lot of Guitar Hero, and I would love to be able to play Turbonegros songs. Wonder what song they will put in the game though, as they do have a lot of great tunes.
According to Gamer.no, Rune Grønn, who is Turbonegros manager, says that Turbonegro have been working to get songs ready for Rock Band, Singstar and Guitar Hero, and they hope that some of the songs will be included.
Norwegian newspaper Dagladet have an article on this sucject as well:
