Would never have thought of this, making it rather creative and clever! And I'm not even a heavy metal fan.

Ah, well, that's unique isn't it? Too bad death metal and rap are the only genres of music I pretty much never listen to.

I was very surprised by the quality. I bought the album on Thursday after hearing some samples and it does sound very good, keeping the original melody but putting it in a nice metal form.

It would be interesting if they had a CD with metal version of songs from One Piece

I'm rather curious as to Miyazaki's feelings on this album. He must have at least given his approval.
