Inspired the face-melting shmup on TurboGrafx-CD
You won’t just find old faves performing atMAGFest. Sometimes, new bands will take to the stage!
Lords of Thunderis a supergroup that consists of Mike Villalobos and John Pike fromDescendants of Erdrick, Mateo Marshall fromThose Who Fight, solo artistDaniel Tidwell, and Brandon Hood fromChiptunes = WIN. They will be playing a variety of metal covers of more obscure game tunes, with a significantly focus on the soundtrack to the Hudson Soft shmup after which they are named.
Above is the band’s first studio recording, based on theDark Towertheme from the TurboGrafx-CD version ofLords of Thunder(Bosquetheme in the Sega CD port). As you can hear, the source music is already pretty sick. If our boys can bring that same intensity when they perform Friday at noon, it will be magic.
