Quest's Timescape!

The Sky Above And Earth Below aren't your average screamo band. If you gave these guys a listen without reading any description or profile, then you probably wouldn't even notice. But if you could hear what these guys were saying, you would soon realize these guys were screaming their guts about ZELDA! That's right, The Legend of Zelda. And that's pretty bad ass! (Even for someone who was more of a Super Mario Bros fan growing up.)

The Sky Above And Earth Below - Quest's Timescape (2010)


It's almost like if Horse the Band stopped trying to sound like the video games they were making noise about and just went with a legitimate screamo sound. In other words, it's what you get when you take an idea like a video game and add it to your music while still sounding respectable and listenable. (Whether you think this type of genre is respectable or listenable is your own opinion.)

If you like a little more Zelda in your music than just references, there's always Team Teamwork's The Orcarina of Rhyme which features some choice rap/hip-hop mixed with the music of Orcarina of Time. 

Found it on this really hip blog called Get Off The Coast
