Megadriver

MegaDriver is a Brazilian heavy metal band formed in 2003 in São Paulo. Their music consist almost entirely of video game music, especially from the Sega Mega Drive system (called Genesis in North America). Because of this focus, the band's style has been termed video game metal. The tribute to the video games is clear in their vast repertory and also by the custom instruments: The Sega Guitar, made from a Sega Genesis console; Sonic Guitar, in the shape of the Sonic character and the Thunderbass, a bass guitar inspired on the barbarian dwarf from Golden Axe. They have released six albums titled Push Start Button (Round One) (a demo CD), Action Metal, Top Gear, Swords, Shurikins & Fists, MetalHog and more recently Metal For Gamers as well as several singles.
