08/08/08 marks the release of RE: Discoveries, the first full-length album from the 8-Bit Metal project. One part heavy/power metal and one part chiptune, the 8-Bit Metal sound fuses electric guitars and sounds from the Nintendo Entertainment System to render original music and lyrics centered on classic video games from all eras. This one-man project is manned by an hobbyist musician and distributed freely as downloadable content on the project's website. <http://www.le-ludophile.com/melomania.htm>
