Another band that plays metal versions of classic game themes, this time, the guys focus on Sega games (hence the name.) I never knew this niche genre was so popular, or taken quite so seriously. This band (and it's a full band this time) have a very professional looking website and all their releases are polished and sound pretty damn good. Their latest release is a full length CD of Sonic The Hedgehog themes, which sound very very good. Their impressive Discography boasts more themed releases with Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Shinobi etc etc. My personal favourite has to be either Ken's stage music from Street Fighter II (I remember playing the game on that stage just to hear the song which I really liked, even as MIDI!) or the various Streets of Rage tunes, simply because the game was so damn good. Personally I prefer these fellows to The Plasmas I posted last time simply because I used to have a Megadrive and I can actually remember most of these songs.
Instrumental, fist pumping, metal nostalgic goodness!
Their entire discography is available for free
download directly from their website but here are a few samples to get you going:
