Protomen at PAX -- Act III Preview!!!
For those of us who have been waiting for any sort of solid evidence of Act III, wait no longer! I just found out about the Protomen dropping an Act III song at PAX. WATCH HERE:
http://www.twitch.tv/pax/b/330672275 I'm digging it fairly well. I had some reservations when it first began, but quickly began enjoying myself immensely. The female narrator gives credence to those "Daughter of Hope" subtitle/theme theories, as well. Musically, it definitely feels like the latter part of Act II: Father of Death, or the entirety of Act I: Sons of Fate (well, other than "Unrest in the House of Light"), with no jazz or folk influences immediately evident. In any case, I can barely understand the words, but can catch that the female narrator (Roll, presumably?) is hoping for the return of Megaman, or some other hero, to finally put a stop to Wily's dystopia. For those who know nothing of the Protomen (unlikely on here, but possible!): The Protomen are a progressive glam rock synth jazz folk concept album thing band that has created a fictional dystopian world loosely based on the Megaman universe. A combination of Orwell, Atlas Shrugged, and Megaman has led to two albums of deep thematic resonance and aural awesomensss. Bathe in the musical nirvana here, at their main website page, where you can listen to (and download!) a gamut of nine songs from both Act I and Act II. http://www.protomen.com/ Last edited by Magus; 09-14-2012 at 05:58 PM. |
