Some games that have some sort of "heavy metal" theme to them?

Rock and roll racing. It even has black sabbath and deep purple on the soundtrack.

I'm surprised brutal legend wasn't one of the first ones mentioned

That's because OP mentioned it.

Other than Doom, I think Quake is quite metal

Iron Man X-O Manowar (bwaahahaha think I still have the Saturn one)

And there's of course, Yoshi's Island final boss theme. One of the best metal theme from SNES and it's from this game, Koji Kondo is a great composer

Look at some of the covers of Psygnosis games and they all have a very 80s metal/sci-fi theme to them
(the games may not be "metal" themselves but the covers would say otherwise)

Heavy Metal Thunder for the PlayStation 2.

neo twewy considering how much metal there is throughout the music and stylization too.

This song surprised me when I finished Earthbound for the first time.

Metal
Gear

Twisted Metal 4

And Rob Zombie is in the game as a playable character.

Loaded on ps1 makes me think of numetal and rocking a spawn t shirt

Among us is pretty metal if you ask me there is a lot of heavy metals around the map.

WarCraft had some metal to it look up the art of WarCraft 2 it reeks of metal and testosterone

Same goes for WC3 well that was before it turned into a Disney brand I always liked how American games had more brutish and uglier artstyle than the cute looking Japanese games well besides horror games.

Maybe a bit farfetch.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

I've heard, so far, about Brutal Legend and Metal Hellsinger, but am willing to bet that are many more games with a similar theme out there.

Bonus points, if we're talking about anything with pixel art. Would love to see some sort of metal festival inside a pixel art indie game...maybe something that emulates the 4th Gen era. That'd be cool.

Really the series in general (with the exception of Small Brawl) is pretty metal.
