New VGM supergroup Lords of Thunder to debut at MAGFest

Inspired the face-melting shmup on TurboGrafx-CD

You won’t just find old faves performing at MAGFest. Sometimes, new bands will take to the stage!

is a supergroup that consists of Mike Villalobos and John Pike from , Mateo Marshall from , solo artist , and Brandon Hood from . They will be playing a variety of metal covers of more obscure game♚ tunes, with a significantly ♏focus on the soundtrack to the Hudson Soft shmup after which they are named.

Above is the band’s first studio recording, based on the theme from the TurboGrafx-CD version of Lords of Thunder ( theme in the Sega CD port).﷽ As you can hear, the source music is already pretty sick. If our boys can bring that same intensity when they perform Friday at noꦉon, it will be magic.

Crossing my fingers for some Thunder Force jams as well!
