Powerglove - Metal Kombat For The Mortal Man [2007]
Do you like metal? Do you like video games? Heres a nice mix of both for ya then. I picked this album up about a month ago. At the time there was no scene rls of it though so I couldn’t post it here on rlslog so I was happy to see a KzT release of the album today. Basically what the band does is mix themes from classic video games and give it a power/heavy/speed metal touch. There are no vocals but the riffs and solos mixed with awesome nintendo-esque melodies are enough to keep me happy. Where in the name of Manbearpig did this band get their name from? Find the answer: HERE!
Powerglove are a video game metal band from Arlington, Massachusetts. They are an unsigned band currently with two releases, the “Total Pwnage EP” and the “Metal Kombat for the Mortal Man” album. The band plays a variety of heavy metal/speed metal covers of popular video game music such as “Tetris” and “Power Rangers”. The torrent link is not the KzT rls for now. The KzT rls will be there as soon as its up on a public tracker.

Hot Damn!! yee haww!
my god this is pure awesome..
Is there a god?
The current torrent link is ripped at 320kbps and it sounds like ass. Wait for the lame encoded rls by kzt.
@ lameneeded
So what you are saying is the current release sounds lame so wait for the Lame release..?
this type of music is called nintendocore, right? whatever, nice to have some of this genre here.
This smells of Machinae Supremacy, which can only be a good thing. We need more bands like this. Nice rls, hope to see the official scene rls links soon…
track 8. omnishred sounds awesome, the best ff7 theme version i have ever heard
when will the kzt version be out?
Anybody remember the name of the movie with the kid that played in a Mario tournament, that featured one of the “power gloves”?
^ The Wizard….
I’ve seen these guys in concert, and they are amazing. If you like the albums, buy the album for their myspace website. It’s worth it.
i’ve had them for about 2 weeks and i have already listened to them over a 1000 times!
so do they sound like dragonforce?
Since I’m such a kind person, I uploaded it (The KzT RLS) here:

This just reminded me of how much I hate metal.
Here is some ‘true’ Nintendo musik.
8bit J-Pop FTW!

Thanks for the torrent z3rB I love chiptunes and metal so maybe this is my calling…
Mr. X, you’re welcome.
I just finished listening to the album, it’s awesome.
z3rb thanks for the torrent, although getting slow speeds since its 1 seed lol
Yeah, sorry about the slow speeds. I’m seeding @ just 256Kbp/s D:
It’ll speed up in a few hours…
no problem z3rb… im not in a hurry… i’ll just download it later heh
It’s pretty damn obvious where they got there name, everybody and their dog had a nintendo power glove back in the day. Didn’t even click
make that “tendocore” lol. Tendcore sounds like emo about animals.

exactly what i was gonna say as “qwerty” did. HORSE the band..in fact they have been doing nintendocore since before 2003..The original singer changed as they progressed and i havent heard them in years..
S.S.H. and AKHT folks.
Newbies, look them up and listen.
This album rocks
WRONG. HORSE the Band plays original music with an 8-bit keyboard. These guys do video game theme song covers. Research things before you bash them.
