Very cool, although I must say i am not much of a metal fan. And game wise the only sound track I ever bought was the Tiberian Sun soundtrack, yay C&C!

Wish I could go and see them in person, although not a huge metal fan. Metal + Game Music = Win!

 

[JPKooper]

I have been a fan of MM for a long time now, and their music is really good, and Stemage (Grant Henry) is a genius with music. I suggest everyone listen to more than one track, Boss Medley is awesome.

Agreed

 

[Spinwhiz]

For those about to rock, we salute you!

I don't really like metal all that much, nor did I play the original Metroid. Still, that song is fucking epic, no two ways about it.

 

[MentalBakura]

Metroid Metal are fantastic. Listened to some of their stuff a couple of months ago.

Used to go by the name Stemage, didn't he? Back in 2003 and a bit on at least? Didn't see it mentioned in the article.

EDIT: Doh, read above. Thanks to JPKooper for already clearing that up.

Metroid is a series I hold in the same kind of regard to the likes of Half-Life for quality; i.e. it is one of my favourite series of all time.

Metroid metal takes the already stellar soundtrack and pushes it into overdrive; I love it!

It definately helps how I'm into Metal in the first place too, making this even better from my personal standpoint.

Love them, love them, love them. Metroid Metal is my favourite way to stay sane.

 

[Xeros]

XD, I've been listening to these guys for months already. They kick ass.

I'd discovered Metroid Metal nearly a year ago purely by accident, searching for the original NES' Metroid tunes. Totally blew me away from the first few guitar licks. Thus, I knew what to expect when I went to see them at PAX '09.

I was wrong.

They were more metal than ever! MM came out and melted our faces off song after song. I was pretty close to the stage, too, so I felt the full force of each note as it shredded off another layer of my flesh. One of the best shows I've been to simply for the amazing energy from the band and the fans (myself definitely included there.)

I picked up Varia Suite at PAX as well as a sampler of other songs from bands the MM members are in (Arm Cannon's cover of The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers theme is to die for.) If you have the chance to see Metroid Metal play live by all means do so; you won't be disappointed.

I've been listening to these guys for a while, and they've only gotten better since. May they continue to rock our faces off.

Its so beautiful...

I love the music from Metroid.
All the game shave great tracks but a few of my favorites come from Fusion and Prime 1.
I defiantly want to see them live.

 

[LuisEz]

i have all the song for a long time... before they sell them i will buy the album, thoug, its really worth it. Metroid is my favorite saga and NES metroid was my very first game (very rare but my nes came with Metroid instead of Mario) and i love metal... what else can i ask for \m/

 

[Sennz0r]

I played that tune tons of times on Stepmania, nice surprise to hear it again

 

[FightThePower]

These guys are the only Metal I like.

Probably because I love Metroid so much.
