The Battle Below (High Quality Remake) - BIONICLE Mata Nui Online Game Soundtrack

[@purplehaze2358]

I will not rest until Essenger creates a high quality remake of the entire Mata Nui Online Game.

[@FREECIVVIE]

It is his Destiny.

[@STICKOMEDIA]

Lol fr

[@fredjones2170]

I would absolutely LOSE IT if he did! Especially since the only thing that’s really aged poorly about MNOG is its heavily compressed, frequently-popping audio.

With voice acting

Spirit of Valor, hear me! I -- AM -- AKAMAI! Spirit of Wisdom, hear me! I -- AM -- WAIRUHA!

[@MrAbgeBrandt]

Kind of ironic how the Toa Kaita were heralded as a really big thing and then they ended up so incredibly short-lived.

[@edgyhipster996]

Six friends fuse together in order to beat the shit out of some robotic cockroaches (technically crabs)

[@sp33d4l0l]

Crabs, technically.

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

"We don't go by they/them because we're non-binary. We use they/them because we're literally three people!" - Any Toa Kaita, probably.

[@azuraracon6406]

You know, In hindsight there is something really funny about the Kaitas’ solution to the Manas being to basically whack the controllers out of the kids’ hands lmao Absolutely outstanding work on the mix

[@heroranuva8295]

Ah yes the Battle Below. Happening at the same time as the battle on the surface. It’s almost like…As Above, So Below…

[@alex_-yz9to]

seeing this thing walk made me spit my drink. I cant believe that this is something people can actually make IRL and have it move normally

[@Geekus]

I always imagined the Toa Kaita speaking with neatly merged voices of their three respective Toa voices, kind of like how Gandalf and Saruman’s voices were merged in Gandalf the White’s reveal. Also, this is a stunning and faithful restoration, amazing work! And even higher praise for As Above, So Below!

[@essengerbionicle]

thats how ill be doing the voices when I make the voiceover version!

[@portalpuppy31]

I cant find the voiceover version.

[@Chronicler177]

I CANT. BELIEVE. MNOG IS GETTING MODERNIZATION. Never did I fucking EVER see this one coming man holy shit you have no idea what this means to me I have been wishing to hear these songs in hq since 2001

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

That aggressive, intimidating synth has been burned into my mind since I was a kid.

[@mattguy1773]

beautiful remake of a beautiful game

[@iek_2003]

Those electronic chirping sounds tickle my brain in the best way possible, especially now in high quality. Good stuff

[@TheZerken]

Manas ASMR

[@LuketheDuke424]

The sheer amount of attention to detail is amazing. I look forward to using these remakes for future projects!

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

Friggin god damn, you spoil us Essenger. First that amazing collab with Cryoshell and now this? Your talents, as always, put a smile upon the Great Spirit. If Lego ever actually steps up and quits sleeping on this IP, I hope they come to you for your musical talents.

[@tborke]

This man just keeps on giving! A high quality version of the MNOG OST has been something I have been daydreaming for years now and its amazing to see and hear songs remade! Thank you!

[@ElEscolta]

With Ontocron recently released improvement mod for the BMNOG i was thinking "man, it would be amazing if the sound could also get a remaster" and then suddenly i found your channel, and not only that, i also found you are the one behind the new Cryoshell song! I can only say god bless for Bionicle fans still around and doing awesome stuff for the comunity!

[@Tokytot]

Every single one of these has been so good! Are you planning on doing the same for MNOG2's soundtrack? Hearing The Old Fusa Path and The East Gardens in high quality would be so beautiful!

[@Chronicler177]

HEARING MNOG 2 in hq would make me SCREEAAAAAMMMMMMMM

[@rothgang]

Mnog is truly magical

[@MicronOnline]

I appreciate the drip feed of music recreation like this

[@ryans-archive]

Oh my god this is so great. Do you have plans to cover the Wall of History song from the Bohrok animations? That song always makes me feel such strong emotions.

[@essengerbionicle]

yep that is my fav one

[@Clone322]

@@essengerbionicleBRO I absolutely cannot wait for that. That video and track are what got me into bionicle when I was little and hearing it remastered might send me to a different plane of Reality. Looking forward to your future tracks!!

[@Likonan]

🔥🦀🔥🦀🔥🦀🔥🦀 The best part like in the original is the opening stinger at the doors and the Kaita dissolving.

[@Metacritical_]

Please tell me that you're involved in the OST for the Mask of power game No matter if it's a recreation of an existing piece or your own creation it's apparent that you perfectly know what makes Bionicle special

[@essengerbionicle]

Yes im part of the sfx team :) and some music

The vibe..

[@NigelShrekberry]

Absolutely amazing as usual

[@shinobipizza]

I'll never not be mad that we never daw the toa kaita again after 2001.

[@DrMadd]

They actually did make a single comeback during the Bohrok Kal arc. Only to be defeated by the Bohrok Kaita Kal.

[@shinobipizza]

@@DrMadd OMG, It's you! I loved your Everything Wrong With Bionicle videos, especially the Journey to One videos!

[@DrMadd]

@@shinobipizza Hey thanks! I get pretty embarrassed looking back on those videos (made them all when I was still a teenager) but I’m happy so many people have fond memories of them.

Didn’t know I needed to hear this until I did 😊. Also how do you make the Bionicle commercials do you use a AI voice of Tony wedge from a website?

[@essengerbionicle]

it's a model i trained on elevenlabs

[@GiratinaofFury]

Are Akamai and Wairuha the only Kaita possible? They are but only two combinations out of several possibilities.

[@Kyle_the_lemur]

Doing!

[@mirrorman95]

2:47 Best part, better than the original Most of the rest of it was good, too, except for 2:07 - 2:46 , which wasn't as good as the original.

[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

Would you be open to the idea of making a fan made soundtrack of a hypothetical sequel to MNOG2(Metru Nui Online Game)? I would love to see what you can come up with for Metru Nui's futuristic metropolitan themed setting.
