Melodeath translates well into 8-bit imo.

yeahhhh honor thy father sounds very cool in 8-bit

i'm up for some chiptune metal....not 8bit covers of songs, original content chip metal bands. it's gotta be out there. i know some chiptune breakcore that comes close to metal. and some metal bands using lo fi drumcomputers or bit samples as drumkits. hmm.... search is on.

it's actually what we're going for with my new project. i'm only doing guitars and vocals and some synths (doom and some oldschool burzum inspired guitar parts with some post punk, crust, noise influences) but the other dudes, especially one of them, is an oldskool pc console blippy bloppy sounds nerd... just sad it won't be easy to get those dudes to program some blastbeat lols in there.

wowww burzum and blippy bloppy count me in :D :D

''if varg was a nerd, not a raeeeecist'' ..album title.

also, one of these dudes made a synth out of a commodore 64, but the thing needs a damn manual to even get to play something on it. all good fun, but we need to get to being more productive and goof around less.

HAHAHAHHHHAHHHHHAHH the album title is amazing

too much talk, too little action, innit.
