While breezing through the Facebook Timelines for information that was NOT political arguments or involving the latest crap that the Kardashians are up to, I discovered that once again the lads in Powerglove had dished out another fancy little ditty as a part of their “Song Of The Month” club. The band has been doing this for a few months now with songs like “Kirby” and “Kraid’s Lair” and now with “Mario Minor 2” are continuing the process of presenting their eventually coming album “Continue”. It’s got a fun graphic as the cover and here are my thoughts on the latest tune.

Label: Powerglove Recordings/Knife Fight Media
Release Date: 3/31/2017
Genre: Video Game Metal
Rating: 4.5/5

Though the wearers of the mighty Powerglove had emerged from their respective basements with another tune yesterday after toiling on the 64 Bit systems that propel their creativity; I felt that there was no better day to discuss the latest single “Kraid’s Lair” than on April Fool’s Day. The song continues the bands plans of issuing a new tune each and every month in their quest to not only please their ardent geek admirers but to also drive website outlets crazy by doing this piecemeal instead of a few at a time. Let’s get down to the brass tacks on this one.

The world around us has gotten far too serious and it’s been enough to make The Joker himself scratch his pasty white chin. You know what I’m talking about. The evening news is almost unwatchable and Facebook is a mess and let’s not even get started on what we see happening on Twitter. However the dark is leading us to some measure of light as those who wear “The Glove” are back and have powered up once more to offer us a brand new single with a new instrumental ditty “Kirby”. It’s been far too long between releases from their furious funster’s so I was damned glad to learn it was here and then indulge upon its controller melting melodies.

Warning: This blog posting is rated “I.I.” for “Incredibly Immature”.  Now with you all warned and advised we can get down to the business at hand and that is to explore a little deeper into the past weekends adventuring which was the one and only NY Comic Con & Anime Festival.  This massive event which was held at the Javits center over the course of three days will be discussed in full in some future blog narratives so please stay tuned for them.  This particular article is to discuss the appearance of those Video Game Metal maniacs – The Mighty Powerglove who were in attendance at the Con and wreaking havoc at both their own booth and around the exhibition hall of the convention itself.  PiercingMetal.com was covering the convention and spent some time with The Glove and proudly present to you some of the more memorable moments in words and images.

Since there is a good chance that you are not yet aware of just who Powerglove is, let me explain that they are considered “Video Game Metal” and came into many peoples attention by playing the themes of popular video games such as “Tetris”, “Sonic The Hedge Hog” and “Mario Brothers”.  These songs and many others were amped up to the Nth degree and given interesting titles such as “So Sexy Robotnic”, “Mario Minor”, “Vanquish The Horrible Night” and well, you get the point. You can find all of these songs on the bands independent release Metal Kombat for the Mortal Man but I recommend that you get one quick before fame goes to their heads and a copy costs you hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on E-bay.
