Scottish internet metal sensation Girlz Melon returns with an absolutely ripping take on Oil Ocean Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Check out the video below:

Mega Drive heavy metal covers band MegaDriver have been uploading these cool little ‘Game Metal Play’ videos which feature a re-arranged version of a song featured on a specific SEGA game but actually inserted into the game. We featured the Outrun cover a little while ago but since then MegaDriver have released Streets of Rage and M.U.S.H.A. covers which sound brilliant. Check them out:
