Varia Suite “Doujin Album of the Year” from Original Sound Version
wow
That’s full of fantastic. Thank you guys for the honor. That makes us feel quite good. To quote the best part:
“…making tender love to a mature woman.”
I’m sorry what? You’ll have to click over to read the rest. Also check out the full list of top albums including honorable mentions from last year. It was a good year, and it’s a bit humbling to sit next to many of those releases. Thanks guys.
Metroid Metal Live at PAX East
UPDATE: PAX East is sold out.
If you missed PAX 2009 and MAGfest 8, get to PAX East. This is the last scheduled performance of Metroid Metal Live. There will likely be more shows, but nothing is on the calendar yet, and nothing is as sick as PAX.
SO, if you want to nab your ticket, do it now.
See you in Boston!
New Stemage track on the upcoming Songs for the Cure ‘10
An exclusive new Stemage tune will be on the upcoming cancer prevention compilation.
The Indie Music Cancer Society will release its 2010 compilation, Songs for the Cure ‘10, on March 1, 2010 and forward 100% of all donations and profits to the American Cancer Society.
The album will feature music from over 30 artists, and included in that pile of music is a new Stemage song called The Challenger. The track will not be appearing on the new Stemage album slated for release later this year.
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION HERE :)
All donors of $25 or more before March 1, 2010 will receive a free physical copy of the album. Supporters with $10 or more will receive a free digital copy.
The crew raised over $6,000 for the event last year and is still forwarding profits from last year’s album, available on iTunes, Amazon, and others. The fundraiser aims to raise $10,000 by April 23, 2010.
That’s not a lot of money for a WHOLE lot of music and a great cause. Help us out guys! DONATE. :)

MAGfest 8: I can’t feel my most of me
MAGfest 8 was such a tornado of awesome. You’ve never felt so much love and power for video game music in one place. There are so many different types of people with so many different interests – listening to bands from dozens of genres and subgenres.
Yet, everyone has so much in common.
MAGfest 8 raised the bar again, and we couldn’t have had more fun playing for such an intense and vocal crowd. I’m surprised the building is still standing. You guys are crazy madness, and thank you 10x over.
Media is slowly starting to pop online, so we’ll be sure to post the goodies – likely on Facebook. If anyone has any vids or pics of the antics from the show, plz share!
For those that couldn’t make it, we missed you.
For those that just didn’t come, you have no idea what you’re missing.
For those that were there, ♥

New MM track! Super Metroid Ending available
Here it is – the last “few” notes of the Super Metroid soundtrack. Thanks to Chunkstyle for his bass mastery, and Adam (my bro) for the drum solo snippets.
You can grab the song here. It’s a wild one – taking the shape of something more like Boss Medley in structure, as opposed to the verse/chorus/verse style of other newer tracks. It’s very “old school” in that regard.
There are 3 distinct movements with segues. I did a lot of experimentation with guitar sounds and soundstage (check it out on headphones). I also recorded one of my brother’s drum solos and turned it into ambiance – you’ll hear it. The funny thing is that all this music exists in the original track in the same order. Be sure to listen to the original to compare. It was already a mess. ;)
So yeah, welcome to my crazy huge prog epic thing – hope you like it. It hurt my most-of-me.
I have firm plans for the next track, and I want to get the foot back up on the monitor for it. So, you can expect a pretty straight forward metal track. You can’t really take it further into space than with the ending of Super Metroid.
In the meantime, COME SEE METROID METAL LIVE K!
