Pure video game metal bliss. Check out Journey Into Silius, then check yourself into a hospital for a face transplant.

From whence several members of Random Battles came. They worked on Super ES, ES 64 and Megatainment together. Memories. Love. Aw.

This Place Is Haunted (Remastered)
by This Place Is Haunted
Mike's long-running VGM collaboration with historic bass monolith Epileptic Peat. Seriously, the guy plays a tree trunk with strings. Not really. But seriously, yes, he does. Not.

Bat Out of HAL

The songs are fantastic and fun - it's so easy for me to listen to this album on repeat. And the album cover is so great. The pun on the title just makes me chuckle every time I look at it. I really wish I could buy a physical copy of your other albums as well!

Outstanding instrumental metal album that happens to pay tribute to FFVII. While some of the songs would pretty clearly lend themselves to great metal covers (Bombing Mission, The Chase, Let The Battles Begin), I was most impressed by how much some of the deeper cuts (eg. Mako Reactor) came to life as ripping headbangers. There’s not a weak track on here and the chronological arrangement further complements my enjoyment of the album. Highly recommended.

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.
