New Mega Beardo Album "The Ledjent of Zelda" Coming in 2012!

After a while of throwing around ideas and seeing what sticks, I have decided that my next Mega Beard album will be "The Ledjent of Zelda," which is a djent-style cover album of the soundtrack to the original Zelda game on the NES. Expect this to be like my Mega Man 2 album, in which I take the original themes, metal-ize them, re-arrange them, and add my own material on top of it. If you don't know what djent is, then either look it up on wikipedia or listen to Meshuggah.

You may be aware that the original Zelda soundtrack only has a few short songs, so expect this to be a short E.P. of around 20 or 25 minutes. Honestly, after the insane amount of work I put into making Belmont (which was 70 minutes long), I just wanted to record something with a quicker turn-around time.

I'll try to do some video updates along the way, but expect this to drop in the later part of 2012. Here's a short video to give you an idea as to what "The Ledjent of Zelda" will sound like:
