Man, we tried, but we were too young as a band to tackle it at the time. My entire goal at that point was to sound like SSH, but with real instruments, and to sound as awesome as this song. When I joined Powerglove six years ago, “The Decisive Battle” from Final Fantasy VI was the first remix we attempted with me in the band. I worshiped this guy back in the day more than anyone when it came to video-game remixes. It sounds like a computer rocking out with divine power and exquisite perfection.
Saitama Saisyu Heiki (SSH): “The Decisive Battle” from Final Fantasy VIįor those who don’t know, SSH is a Japanese remix artist who made some amazing synth-metal versions of classic video-game themes, and he is easily the best at what he does. However, if this was playing in the background while Link was trying to kick Gannon’s ass, he’d probably forget about Zelda all together and head down to one of the deep caves to enjoy a blunt and a Snack Pack. As you can tell from the title, they arrange it into a bossa-nova-style tune, which is a nice break from your typical rock or metal version. This is the OneUps take on a classic Legend of Zelda track. The OneUps: “Bossa De Link” from the Legend of Zelda Listening to this song inspired me to begin working on a Chrono Trigger song for Powerglove, and it will definitely inspire you to dig out your SNES or ZSNES and give the game another run-through. Their lead guitarist pulls off some very tasteful Satriani-esque solos, which is due to the fact that he is a very talented player, and also because he looks disturbingly similar to Joe Satriani.
With a new album based on Saturday-morning cartoons on the way (Saturday Morning Apocalypse, 9/28, E1 Music), Powerglove caught up with ALARM to share a few of its all-time favorite video-game covers.īuffalo’s video-game metal band Armcannon delivers an explosion of nostalgia with this song from the best RPG ever made. The band continued to develop its “Nintendo-core” sound with a full-length in 2007, entitled Metal Kombat for the Mortal Man. The band released its debut EP, Total Pwnage, in 2005, covering, among other songs, the Tetris theme and the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers theme. Named after the Nintendo robot-hand gaming accessory, Powerglove plays power-metal covers of classic video-game songs.
