last.fm Official website Recommended Songs Overworld Conveyer Dark City 8-bit + metal = <3 Just started listening to this band and I have fallen in love with them. Anybody else listen?
Ah, yes, MaSu, one of the bands I discovered when I first got into metal and a band that remains among my favorites. I have just a few things to say about them: 1) They have about four albums worth of free music on their website. Some of these free songs are among the best they've ever done, special mention goes to "Cryosleep," "Missing Link" and "Loot, Burn, Rape, Kill, Repeat." One batch of this free music is the soundtrack they did for the game Jets N Guns. 2) They really don't care if you buy their albums or not. They're more interested in people listening to and enjoying their music and have stated in interviews and in concert that if you can't afford it, can't find it of just don't want to spend your money on it, to feel free to download it. 3) They're very, VERY strongly liberal to the point where they slam the RIAA nearly constantly. "Legion of Stoopid," meanwhile, contains the lines "This is your brain/This is your brain on Fox News" and "Don't vote for Bush." Not to mention that a few of their songs blatantly call people who are religious to the point of bigotry hateful sheep. 4) They are tied for the nerdiest band I've ever heard of with Blind Guardian. Not only do they use the SID chip to create their style, many of their songs are based on or reference nerdy subjects, including, but not limited to Half-Life ("Nova Prospekt"), He-Man and the Masters of the Universe ("Return to Snake Mountain"), Death Note ("Shinigami"), World of Warcraft ("Loot, Burn, Rape, Kill, Repeat"), The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask ("Missing Link") and Earthbound ("Earthbound"). They've also used voice samples from Futurama (the webography version of "Attack Music"), the Matrix and Lord of the Rings ("Hybrid") and Ghost in the Shell and Pitch Black ("Cryosleep"). 5) Their name is pronouced "Machine Supremacy." No, I don't know what's with the extra "a." 6) Go to their website, click on the background and put in the Konami Code, replacing Start with Enter.
Man, how did I miss this? I love Machinae Supremacy. I picked them up at Overworld, but I've at least listened to their work for the Jets n' Guns soundtrack. Not too keen on the agenda-laden material, but at least they're honest with themselves. "Overworld" and "Dark City" impress me in particular.
Hm...pretty good. I approve. May check out some more songs, maybe from other albums. SID Metal is nice. I can just imagine there being growling in the songs, and it sounds awesome. Oh well. :c
