RE: Discoveries,
the first full-length album from the 8-Bit Metal project. One part heavy/power
metal and one part chiptune, the 8-Bit Metal sound fuses electric guitars and
sounds from the Nintendo Entertainment System to render original music and
lyrics centered on classic video games from all eras. This one-man project is
manned by an hobbyist musician and distributed freely as downloadable content
on the project's website. <

Okay, so I’m
a year and a half late,
but you guys know all the crazy stuff that’s happened in the past year
and a half –I have not forgotten about my album(s), and last weekend I
finished recording all my best Kwakfests, and I’m releasing a few
previews as Youtube videos.
A few days ago, on a couple of forums, community member mithius released "The Story of Hyrule." An epic 44 track album, comprised of both arrangements from Zelda 1 through a Link to the Past, as well as a number of original tracks. The post was long and kind of disjointed, the website was a bit "1996", but the music was absolutely AMAZING. That's when I decided
to start work on a proper website and hosting to really showcase mithius's hard work.
