I’m very happy to inform all you Metal and shoot-em-up fans out there that MegaDriver has just released their “For Great Justice” album (don’t miss out on our interview with MegaDriver!). Yes, that’s correct, the whole album is based on songs from shoot-em-up games such as “Thunder Force IV“, “Salamander”, “Gradius III” and “Einhänder”:

“Hail Game Metal Bangers! For Great Justice! Every Zig is coming, you have no chance to survive make your time! The new SHMUP album by MegaDriver have arrived!” – Nino MegaDriver
