Metroid Metal releasing a new album soon  photo

Metroid Metal is set to release a brand new album full of metal covers of Metroid music. The album is called Varia Suite and will be out on September 8 for $8. There’s also a special bundle where you can buy the CD, a Metroid shirt and a sticker for $20.

After the jump, you can get a taste of the awesomeness that is Metroid Metal. You can also download some of their songs from the official Web site. Metroid Metal will be one of the select bands at PAX this year as well and I think it’s safe to say they’ll rock the f**k out of PAX in two weeks.

Yes, Metroid Metal kicks ass.

You should also mention on the blog that Powerglove will be releasing a new album soon.

I saw them at MAGFest 7 and liked what I heard. Their set had a few kinks, but IIRC, they said it was their first live show.

These are awesome. Am I the only one that thinks an acoustic version of some of the tracks from metroid would be awesome?

I've listened to Metroid Metal for about 6 years now. Cool to see them getting some recognition.

I've been listening to these guys since they were featured in Nintendo Power, and they have yet to disappoint. This looks like it will be just as awesome. Man, I wish I was at PAX.
