about

A tribute to the most dubious subgenre/culture/sound that is not a genre: VGM. This album pays tribute to both the djent metal scene and to the VGM classics that have been covered time and again. Just like djent, VGM may not be a genre, but it is a thriving and supportive community that warrants celebration!
