METROID METAL'S VARIA SUITE NAMED #1 DOUJIN/ARRANGEMENT ALBUM OF THE YEAR BY ORIGINAL SOUND VERSION! DO YOU HAVE YOUR COPY TO REVIEW?

Holy wow, this is such an honor for Metroid Metal! For those of you who aren't up on the universe that is gaming music, to be named #1 by OSV is a pretty cool thing. They say:

"Metroid is such an epic and special beast, and there are few game series that are as cherished and revered world over. For me, my greatest memories as a child playingMetroid was it’s music, not only because it was so different and utterly amazing, but because I was too dumb to figure what the hell to do, and pretty much ended up using the game as a jukebox. Metroid Metal is a project started by the ever amazing Grant Henry, where he would arrange Metroid music and release on his site. It eventually got so popular and the arrangements were of such high quality that a live band seemed to be the next step, and performing these complicated songs live would be no easy feat. It’s therefor even more impressive to hear Dan Behrens, Mike Molnar, Kevin Lawrence, Dan Taylor and Henry himself blast through these songs like they were making tender love to a mature woman. The CD will remain one of the greatest arrangement albums ever, and it will be a hard one to knock off the throne. Be proud gentlemen, be proud."

That's right, "like they were making tender love to a mature woman." Amazing! If you don't already have your review copy, please do get in touch. The band is available for interviews, and would love to talk to you about their process and the making of the record itself. Let me know!
