The Cave Story Soundtrack Goes Heavy Metal

Cave Story already has a pretty damn good soundtrack, but as with all things, it can be improved by being dipped in liquid fire and ufa888 rendered into heavy metal. Thankfully there’s Erik Peabody, who has released his new 7-track album “Made of Metal” upon the world.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); It features “metal remixes honoring some of the most badass robots in video game history,” including four tracks from Cave Story. They are goofy and also they are very metal. On the album’s page, Peabody is credited with “all instrumentation,” which I take to mean that he recorded all of the tracks separately, including the drums. For which I say: My hat is off to you, sir! The album is being released at a good time, considering that Cave Story 3D is landing on the 3DS. (our own Mike Fahey posted a video of it just last night). https://kotaku.com/hey-kids-cave-story-is-now-out-on-the-3ds-and-it-look-5857729 Here it is, streaming from Bandcamp: Three cheers for anyone who wants to make sweet-ass metal recordings of awesome video game music. riches777 As my friend Nervo kindly reminded me just this morning: You can’t kill the metal The metal will live on Punk-rock tried to kill the metal But they failed, as they were smite to the ground New-wave tried to kill the metal But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground Grunge tried to kill g2g1bet the metal Ha,hahahahaha They failed, as they were thrown to the ground Aargh! yeah! No-one can destroy the metal The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow We are the vanquished foes of the metal We tried to win for why we do not know New-wave tried to destroy the metal, but the metal had its way Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal, but metal was in the way Punk-rock tried to destroy the metal, but metal was much too strong Techno tried to defile the metal, but techno was proven wrong Yea! Metal! It comes from hell! “Made of Metal” [bandcamp] You can contact Kirk Hamilton, the author of this post, at [email protected].
