The Protomen

[Norelco]

This is for you Mega Man fans.

This band created a rock opera based off of Mega Man and it's characters.

You can check out the first song and video from their website: http://www.theprotomen.com

It rocks pretty hard, and has a story to follow throughout the entire album (I got it on iTunes).

You can listen to a bunch of the other tracks here: http://www.myspace.com/theprotomen

Good songs include The Will of One, Vengeance, The Stand (Man or Machine)

I. Hope Rides Alone

Narrator:
No one was left who could remember how it had happened,how the world had fallen under darkness.
At least no one who would do anything.
No one who would oppose the robots.
No one who would challenge their power,
or so Dr. Wily believed...

Twenty Floors above the dark streets of the city, Dr. Light lived in a run-down tenement.
An eccentric and brilliant man.
Light was a loner, a thinker, a man of ideas.
Ideas forbidden in Wily's society.
The society for which he worked.
The society in which he lived.
The society that he would set free.
And so Light worked, far into the night, when the watchful eyes of Wily's robots weren't upon him.
He'd set his skillful hands to the task of creating a device to bring about a change, to create a machine to bring freedom, to create a man to save the world.
Twelve years Light worked and on a cold night in the year 200X, Protoman was born.
A perfect man, an unbeatable machine, hell-bent on destroying every evil standing between man and freedom, built for one purpose, to destroy Wily's army of evil robots. Ready, willing, prepared to fight

Fireman:
Attack!

Narrator:
Fight.

And as the smoke cleared.
Wiley rose above the countless robots remaining. Protoman was wounded, low on energy, struggling to remain standing as Wily ordered the final attack.
The death of Protoman.

The crowd had gathered there to watch him fall, to watch their hopes destroyed.
They watched them beat him, they watched them break him, they watched his last defense deployed.
There was not a man among them who would let himself be heard.
But from the crowd, from the collective fear, arose these broken words:
We are the dead
We are the dead

Human Choir: What have we done?
Narrator: We are the dead
Human CHoir: What will we do?
Narrator: We are the dead
Human Choir: Where will we turn?
Narrator: We are the dead
Human Choir: Is there nothing we can do?
Narrator: We are the dead
Human Choir: How did it come to this?
Narrator: We are the dead
Human Choir: How did we go so wrong?
Narrator: We are the dead
Human Choir: We are the dead

Remaning tracks:

II B. Unrest in the House of Light
III. The Will of One

EPILOGUE: Due Vendetta

[TheCursedGatts]

awesome
where can I dl it?

[Norelco]

Some of the songs integrate some of the 8-bit sounds fron the NES games. Pretty neat.

Not sure where you can DL it for free. I just ponied up $8 on iTunes and downloaded the whole album.
