Year 200X (is in the studio)

Well excuuuuuse me, princess!

About Me

Do you want to read a long, drawn out bio? I thought not. No one reads long bios anyways. Year 200X is a group of friends brought together by the love of two things: video games, and metal. We do our best to record the awesome-est guitar driven NES covers possible. We also do our best to support other VGM artists. If you like us, add us! If you don't like us, add us anyways and tell us to f@*! off.

We think that this would be a good place to mention that we were in the June 2006 issue (number 205) of Nintendo Power magazine. You can see the article here or read the full interview here .

Sorry, we're currently out of t-shirts, and we're not selling demos anymore, as a) we're out and b) we're recording our debut full-length! .
Also, check out the awesome VGM artists below!
