Dieses Logo zeigt ja deutlich, wer da als Inspiration u.A. Pate stand:
2007 wurde das erste Album, passenderweise "Level 1" betitelt, veröffentlicht.
Their debut album heavily references video games, especially 'Super Metroid'. In the title of their album 'Lvl. 1', and song titles such as 'Escape From Brinstar', 'Kraid Ain't Got Shit On Me' and 'Destroy Mother Brain' (references to Nintendo's Super Metroid), and 'Maddens for NOObz' (referencing the John Madden series of video games). The cover to their debut album features artwork based on Super Metroid. The album was so-called because of producer Jamie King's comments on how "the album sounds like the group is playing Metroid across each song." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Chance_to_Reason
Für dieses Jahr ist der Nachfolger, logischerweise "Level 2", angekündigt und soll neben dem regulären auch ein retromäßiges 2D-SHMUP enthalten.
Hier kann man ganz grob mal reinschauen, aber leider ist die Quali - warum auch immer - eher mies...Level 2 is a new take on both the concept album and the videogame. It is a melding of both arts into a unified experience. In Level 2 you will battle through fully interactive interpretations of Last Chance to Reason’s futuristic progressive metal. The game/album’s story unfolds through thematic riffs, stirring vocal hooks and progressive virtuosity while the player blasts his way through viscous gameplay inspired by classics such as R-Type, Contra, and Super Metroid.
