Listen: preview Metroid Metal's debut CD collection, 'Varia Suite'
Due for an official release September 8th, and coming live to the Penny Arcade Expo just a few days before: Metroid Metal's Varia Suite, the band's first recorded collection of -- well, as you might guess -- metal remakes of various Metroid themes from throughout the game's history.
Metroid Metal's site has more information on both the album, and their PAX live performance, and the Silent Uproar record label is taking pre-orders for the album both in standard form, and in a bundle with an awesomely iconic T-shirt.

Also of note is game music cover master Virt, who made a metal medley of the super metroid soundtrack,

His original work is also very good, and he plays all the instruments and does all the arranging solo.

It's damn near worth buying just for the shirt. That the music is decent is an added bonus!
