Rich has been producing prog metal covers of game music for years. His most well-known work is probably...

♫ DETERMINATION

by RichaadEB & Ace Waters

https://determination-ut.bandcamp.com/album/determination

This Undertale cover album was a collaboration with Ace Waters. If you are a fan of metal OR Undertale music, this album deserves your attention.

But RichaadEB has tons of other great music out there. He posts a new music video every week on his YouTube channel, covering themes from games, movies and anime, and at this point is channel is packed with gems.

♫ “Undersea Palace (Chrono Trigger)”

by RichaadEB

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyBx70DuxvY

Chrono Trigger's soundtrack gets covered extensively, but I rarely see anyone tackle this particular track and I did NOT expect it to have such potent metal potential.

♫ “Snake Man (Mega Man 3)”

by RichaadEB

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhsTjlz2Rz8

Mega Man music was just MEANT to be turned into prog metal covers.

♫ “Life Will Change (Persona 5)”

by RichaadEB ft. Caleb Hyles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQnU29Bxrds

When a track needs vocals, Rich will often bring in Caleb for the task. The two go well together!

♫ “BAD APPLE!! (Touhou)”

by RichaadEB ft. Christina Vee

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xz4NV0zsbY

The Touhou remix scene is one of those branches of the community that is just sort of quietly ENORMOUS.

♫ “Wii Channel Theme”

by RichaadEB

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrEeAgW7Sug

RIP Wii Shop.

♫ “Odd Future (Boku no Hero Academia)”

by RichaadEB ft. Caleb Hyles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymfY_d0PZH0

Richaad also ventures into anime OP themes pretty frequently if that's your jam. 

But yeah, go ahead and just subscribe to RichaadEB's channel, because he posts a new video WEEKLY. 

But maybe metal isn't your jam! Perhaps you're more into electronic? Some electronic tunes perhaps? Some EDM, hiphop and chill out? Allow me to introduce you to...

♫ Zelda & Chill

by Mikel & GameChops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdzrrWA8e7A

This is an entire album of lofi hiphop Zelda beats, just in case you need some chill tunes to study to today.

♫ “We Move Together As One (Overwatch)”

by Andromulus & GameChops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00PiTBsuZ5k

This one is NOT chill. It is whatever the opposite of chill is. But it's Lucio, so the beat will at least heal/accelerate you.

♫ “Tem Shop (Undertale)”

by Ben Briggs & GameChops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu8A8uWAJaA

It's Tem Shop.

♫ “Dearly Beloved (Kingdom Hearts)”

by Ayano Ultra & GameChops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnqpurpXJ0U

Nice and relaxed.

♫ “Octo Expansion (Splatoon 2)”

by Ralfington & GameChops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsf89JB2Tdg

I haven't even had a chance to play this expansion, but the trailer music alone was such a gift.

♫ “Die Anywhere Else (Night in the Woods)”

by DM Dokuro & GameChops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP3HCN7m6xY

Daggum I love this source material so much.

♫ “Weird Autumn (Night in the Woods)”

by CG5 & GameChops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWy0VCQjHbo

screw it, I'm linking to two Night in the Woods tracks, no one can stop me
