What’s that you say? You came to BoingBoing to find a link to a Brazilian heavy metal band that performs covers of videogame music? Well, that is good. Because “nino” from the Brazilian band MegaDriver tells us
“We have released two albums. “Metal Beast: Rise From Your Grave!” A tribute to the game Altered Beast, launched by Sega in 1988. The album contains the complete soundtrack from the game recreated in Heavy-Metal style. And “Metal Axe,” A tribute to the game Golden Axe, launched by Sega in 1989. The band have also released an emulator project called “Metal Mame”, based on the most popular Arcade emulator, MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). With “Metal Mame” the fans now can play the original Arcade game with their entire soundtrack remixed by the MegaDriver band. At the band’s website there is also available their first “Demo CD”, “PUSH START BUTTON”, with classic songs from “Castlevania”, “Streets Of Rage”, “Top Gear”, “Street Fighter”, etc.
What I really want to know is — como você diz o “mullet” no Português? Link to band website, and UPDATE: Link to “mullet-in-Portuguese” answer.
