Remix Recommendations! (May 2019) (Patreon)
Content
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

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.
