Yay for Sid Metal! (thanks to Zhenech <3)

Machinae Supremacy is a metal band from Luleå, Sweden. They achieve a unique style through use of a special synthesizer called a Sidstation, which incorporates the sound chip of the Commodore 64 home computer. The retro-electronic sound is blended with a traditional metal sound to produce a special kind of “SID-metal” (SID - Sound Interface Device).

They had already made their place in history by being one of the first bands to embrace and utilize the internet and file sharing to gain a huge fanbase without ever having signed a record contract, received airplay or any sponsored promotion. They’ve reached out to all corners of the world and today their site receives roughly 100,000 song downloads every month.

Dude, i love it. Get to know them now:
