Metroid Metal – Theme (NES)

You love video games, and you love metal, and you love what happens when the two are combined.

Metroid Metal is a collection of high-energy arrangements from the Metroid video game series. Originally the brainchild of Grant Henry (aka Stemage), Metroid Metal has played in front of crowds of upwards of 5,000 at gaming conferences since their inception, but have flown largely under the radar of the music blogosphere and print press. Metroid Metal and Silent Uproar are proud to announce the release of Varia Suite, Metroid Metal’s first studio record.

While Metroid’s original music has always pulled at the heartstrings of gaming fans, the magic of Metroid Metal is in its arrangements and nuances.

The new album contains 14 tracks, totaling 50 minutes of uptime. In Henry’s words, “It’s a reinvention of a reinvention with a more human, solid, and commanding sound than any of the Metroid Metal material so far.” The goal of Varia Suite is to create a soundscape that not only satisfies fans of the game-cover-band scene (yes, it exists and is flourishing), but also appeals to fans of multi-layered, hard prog-rock.
