Grove Leather Back Review
In the grand scheme of phone cases, it would seem natural to assume that a stick-on leather back for a phone would seem rather pointless. An all-round needless accessory of style over substance that sacrifices too much of its protective qualities.

All about 8-bit Metal
So someone over a couple years ago took to the tablature program Guitar Pro and inputted their song of choice at the time, and created a MIDI playback via SCXX. Immediately, one is transported back to the likes of the Sega Master System, Atari 2600 and the Nintendo Entertainment System with a listen to merely one of these.
And henceforth, the 8-bit versions of metal songs were born in 2009: the absolute fascination being how some would suit so eloquently as soundtracks to video games, in some situations bettering the originals in an abstract sense.

Basically, you'd never think metal would work in this sense; but it makes for a rather unique form of paying homage. Take a look at some of our favourites.
