NESMETAL [Open Wide the Gates]

About Me

I've always been an avid fan of videogame music, and I just think the 8-Bit sound card is simply amazing. so back towards the end of 2003 I decided to take some influences from my favorite thrash/deathmetal bands and video game soundtracks, make a few songs and this is how it all turned out. I didn't expect that I would be working on this project for as long as I have been. but I guess thats what happens when you love what you do.

"The Decay", Nesmetal's 2nd full-length, is complete, though without an official release (or anything else that I was planning for it). If you're interested in getting a copy, give me a shout! Same with the follow up EP, "Open Wide the Gates".

take care, and God bless. - johnathan
