Now that the Timing episode is finally live, I'm overdue for this month's music recommendations!

____________________________________________


Super Guitar Bros

This duo make acoustic guitar covers of a wide variety of game tunes. I would recommend specific tracks, but they're all great, so to save time: here are the three albums they've released so far. Pick any one of them and just preview a track or two. You really can't lose.


Super Guitar Bros

https://superguitarbros.bandcamp.com/album/super-guitar-bros

Includes miscellaneous game music covers, including Castlevania, Ocarina of Time and Super Mario Sunshine tunes.


nice.

Ocarina of Time

https://superguitarbros.bandcamp.com/album/ocarina-of-time

Features tons of exceptional Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time covers.

Metroid Metal

Started as a project by Grant "Stemage" Henry all the way back in 2003, this band is about making prog metal arrangements of Metroid music. EXTREMELY GOOD prog metal covers. Metroid Metal has grown into a 5-person band that's released three albums and performed live across the country. If you enjoy some good metal, this is some of the best to be had in the entire game remixing scene.


Varia Suite

https://metroidmetal.bandcamp.com/album/varia-suite

The first album recorded as a full band, and I'd say the best place to start listening.


Expansion Pack

https://metroidmetal.bandcamp.com/album/expansion-pack

Their follow-up EP, adding six more fantastic arrangements


Other Album

https://metroidmetal.bandcamp.com/album/other-album

Listen, you should really just get all of these if you like Metroid and/or metal.

Work on the Dark Souls Parry/Riposte episode is going well, so you'll likely be hearing from me again pretty soon-ish. Have a good one!

Aw man, I thought this post was going to be "Give me remix recommendations". I got so excited, too.

Welllll, if you insist, here are some of my favorites from the past few years: <i>Storm Force Seven</i> (Ocarina of Time) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYEhf2hFVD4 Drowning in Iron Oxide (Super Metroid) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY67qV1sEo8 stratification (Chrono Trigger) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2MT7nzH_NY Cataclysm (Chrono Trigger) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bayuwsTmOY Entropic Dream (Metroid Prime 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCiShrKVIQY But You're Still Hungry (Chrono Trigger) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEHrRaQDWgY And of course, Time's End II, the sequel to Theophany's phenomenal Time's End Majora's Mask remix album. God willing we get a Time's End III. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLTnvRoxfPk (also I have no idea how to make links work in Patreon comments)

Don't know if you meant to do it, but all links in the Super Guitar Bros section link to the same album, instead of the intended album.
