Chrono Trigger - "Tyrano's Lair" [METAL] - ToxicxEternity Remix (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Here is the full video for my metal cover of Chrono Trigger's "Tyrano's Lair" requested by James S-R!

I was instantly super stoked when I saw this request on my request sheet. Chrono Trigger is one of the most timeless retro ost's with so many songs that still hold up to this day. Every song on that game has such a unique personality to it. And this song is definitely one that makes you go "oh damn that's super metal". The main riff in this song is already so perfect for some epic metal guitars.

I went into the arrangement wanting to be respectful to the original as much as I could. It has a really great pacing and arrangement that just works. I did my thing though and did a LOT under the hood to try and spice it up. Particularly with the drums, that I felt that I could give it a modern metal feel with some epic double bass parts and some half time breakdowns.

The middle section of the song presented a lot of opportunity for me to build on the original's idea as well. It has a really menacing sounding triplet section that I really wanted to turn into this epic symphonic metal riff section and end it with an epic solo over that section. I'm super happy with how all of that turned out!

Overall I'm super happy with this arrangement and I hope you enjoy it as well! Let me know what you think and thank you so much for your amazing support!1
