We shared with you the joy of Chilean VG metal band Psycho Crusher earlier this year. Live videos are cool and all, but wouldn't you enjoy some nice, clean recordings as well?

Band member Cristián "Kris" Escobar is working on his own to put together an album entitled Level 1. So far, it consists of new single-song arrangements, although the "Arcade Classics" medley from the live show makes a return. Four tracks are currently available on his Bandcamp page, with additional tracks' appearing on a somewhat weekly basis. He's also posting music videos to accompany each song release, the latest of which is "My Loved Ones Are Gone" based on "Wondering About My Loved Ones" from Wolfenstein 3D.

This is some amazing stuff, and I hope Kris manages to reassemble the full band for live performances of the completed album. You ought to hit up his Bandcamp and give him your support. In the meantime, check out the rest of his videos after the jump.

Level 1 [Bandcamp]


"Robotnik Is No More" (Sonic the Hedgehog - Staff Roll)


"A Wanderer on the Way" (Shadow of the Colossus - "The Opened Way")


"Arcade Classics" (Arcade games from 1972 to 1983)

The first one takes until a minute and twenty seconds to really take off, but "Wanderer on the Way" starts off great and just keeps going.

It makes me feel how the soundtrack to Dynasty Warriors makes me feel. Which is damn good.

They play it really safe, especially the sonic one. It's good, but I wouldn't say the best video game metal band.

Great. Ruining classic game music with that awful metal crap. Leave the game inspired music to Megaran and Team Teamwork.

They could do a lot better with the guitars, but its pretty good. The wanderer on the way went well with the video.

Great. Improving classic game music with that kick-ass metal genre. Don't be closed-minded RAPONROCKOFF... Metal is better than any of that radio-pop-alterna-bullshit you listen to.
