GhostFace is performing 'Carry On' by @Avenged Sevenfold one of his favourite bands of all time!
The song is a fast, uptempo song inspired by a "classic metal" sound.
In an interview with the band's lead singer M. Shadows about the song's meaning he said,
"I wanted to be more vague. Sometimes, I feel like my lyrics meander a little bit, and our songs are so big I need to write more words than are necessary. I wanted to leave these lyrics more open-ended. I felt that the term "Carry On" was perfect not only for the characters but for AVENGED SEVENFOLD moving forward. I stuck with that. I just wanted to write some epic lyrics you could think about when you were driving down the street or on your horse."
The song plays at the end Call of Duty: Black Ops II, showing the band as well as two characters from the game, Raul Menendez (voiced by Kamar de los Reyes) on guitar (guitar played by 'Scarlett') and Sergeant Frank Woods (voiced by James C. Burns) on drums, as the song plays a montage of cutscenes and gameplay elements. It is also used in the reveal trailer for the game's Zombies mode.
