Fortnite is a very popular global platform game that lets you compete with other players to survive the longest in this action-filled world. 2017 saw the introduction of Fortnite, an online video game and gaming platform created by Epic Games. Many famous people have been added to the game as skins to customize the player’s avatar like Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, and Ariana Grande. Although these singers might be more famous than the ones we are mentioning today, this band is dominating the Fortnite world right now.

The band is called Metallica, which consists of lead singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. American heavy metal band Metallica rose to fame in the 1980s. “Master of Puppets,” “Enter Sandman,” and “Sad but True” are some of their best-known songs. Metallica is recognized for having invented the speed metal subgenre, which is essentially heavy metal performed at the fastest tempo.

If the music features a lot of powerful, distorted electric guitar tones, powerful rhythms, and incredible guitar solos, you can be sure you’re listening to heavy metal. Certain songs are fast-paced and forceful, whilst others are slow-paced, heavy, and full of power chords. Other well-known heavy metal bands like Def Leppard, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Led Zeppelin might be familiar to you.

The next virtual concert in the game has this heavy metal band as the headlining act. Not only are they performing, but you can also engage in combat with them on the Battle Stage.

Although Fortnite seems fun, there are downsides to it too. It is recommended by Fortnite itself that you should be at least 13 to play, as you use weapons to attack other players in the game. While you combat, there is no visible bloodshed. Also, you should be aware of the risks of cyberbullying and verbal harassment, as you can enable VC (voice chat), while playing the game.

Fortnite is an interactive game, full of life saving decisions and strategic thinking. You can change how you look to your liking, and even your weapons. Have you ever tried Fortnite, and if not, are you considering too?
