NINETEEN MINUTES AND FIFTEEN SECONDS. God, I love this song.
We are shifting out of fourth gear and kicking it into high! It's metal, baby! The glorious epic above is none other than "Unsealed" by French guitarist CarboHydroM. It takes almost all of the major musical pieces from A Link to the Past and mashes 'em together to provide an aural retelling of Link's adventure, from the moment he stirs awake to his fated bout with Ganon. The SNES sound clip at the start is a lovely touch, and the three-minute finale may just be the most perfect thing ever.
The ride isn't over! Below, we've got Powerglove, virt, and Vomitron ready to melt your faces!
Power metal, anyone? "Power, Wisdom, Courage" by Powerglove should scratch that itch for ya! I totally need to catch these guys in concert some time. Have you seen the costumes they wear? The band is like a helmet-less, mask-less GWAR.
"Blood of Ganon" comes courtesy of virt a.k.a. Jake Kaufman. When he's not too busy making awesome music for WarForward, he whips up game arrangements in his spare time. The man is dedicated to the craft, that's for sure. My favorite part is the abrupt radio tuning at the end. Yay, elevator music!
"The Legend of Zelda" by Vomitron comes off their latest album No NES for the Wicked, which took three years to be made. Sure, that isn't exactly at Chinese Democracy levels, but that converts to around five billion years in Internet time! Who has that kind of patience?
Tony Ponce (aka megaStryke) is a culturally confused, Canadian-born Puerto Rican who grew up in Japan and South Florida ... yet can only speak English. He specializes in writing features and maintaining an immaculate goatee. Likes: Any and all things related to Mega Man, Contra, Castlevania, 2D, PB&J sandwiches, applesauce, and candy corn.
Meet the rest of the team
Some epic metal for the wind, the Ganon cover is particular well done. I'm still in the middle of "Unsealed," but man is it ridiculously good. Sad that there is only one entry left.
When me and my friends saw Powerglove in concert we were front row, and we made a giant triforce with the three of our arms, sadly they noticed but didn't play the fucking song. They told us they'd play it at BitGen, but, we never got to see them so haha not sure if they did.
The Vomitron medley for Zelda II was even more amazing than the first; I own that whole album and every track on there is amazing (though way too many Tetris remixes, to be honest).
