Throughout the years, the Cybersonica festival has attracted headline artists and witnessed the debut of Guitar Hero II during its 2006 gathering.
The song "The New Black" is featured in the video games Guitar Hero II and MotorStorm.
A cover version – which uses a less deep tuning, closes with a lengthy solo based on the A Little South of Sanity live version and the "home... sweet... home" verse repeats at the end instead of the fade-out featured on the original recording – appears in Guitar Hero II.
Ounce of Self is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, gaining most of their fame from performances at The Knitting Factory in New York City, as well from featuring one of their songs, "Drink Up" in the Xbox 360 version of the music video game Guitar Hero II.
The song is available as a downloadable track for the music video game Guitar Hero III Mobile and a cover version is featured in the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II.
In addition to the two songs, the CD has a third, unlisted track featuring Izzy Maxwell of Harmonix Music Systems playing "Less Talk More Rokk" in Guitar Hero II.
