Now that you’ve done Light of Nibel, please do Shriek and Ori. It’s an amazing boss theme

[@thedragonempress7356]

Seconded!

[@delta3244]

Thirded...? idk if that's a word, but it is now. Shriek and Ori isn't just an amazing boss theme, it's an amazing boss theme which should pair well with this channel's musical sensibilities. I want to hear that combination.

[@Sir_Steven]

Yes! Either Shriek and Ori or Mora the Spider. Both would be fantastic.

[@rithalos]

Up :)

[@Deltexterity]

mora the spider is better imo

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

Saving the forest from eternal darkness never have been this epic!

[@philipphalter926]

Only you can make such a soft theme hit this hard. Amazing.

[@Age88]

This franchise is truly a masterpiece

[@allenaa600]

Let me be honest here. Ori is one of the greatest game franchises I've ever come into contact with. To say it's a masterpiece is an understatement, and a REALLY huge one at that. I played the games pretty late, but I still loved them nonetheless. Seeing you make covers for them when you've been a favourite artist of mine for a few years now really brings joy to my heart. Jonny, I don't knos if you'll read this, but I just want to say I appreciate you making this song. The next area of this comment will contain spoilers for the second game, so please be mindful. If you could, I would reccomend doing Ori, Embracing the Light from Will of the Wisps. It's such a lovely and dramatic ending theme, and... well, it just really made me feel more at the end of it. I would highly reccomend these games to anyone looking for something to play that has story and replayability. Sure, it's the same thing every time you play it, but I feel like the Ori series is just one of those games I'll never get tired of. It may have come along recently, but it already holds a special place in my heart. Thank you again, Jonny, for making such a wonderful cover for such a wonderful piece from such a wonderful game.

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

You don't post covers that are a bit less intense like this often, and there's only one thing I can say when you do post one. Please do more covers like this because I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

[@Phoenix-tm4zz]

That seamless transition from song to credits is beautiful!

[@orio_edible]

I have always wanted to hear music from this game taken in a more metal direction, and who better to fulfill this wish? HELL YEAH. Johnny Atma, you are a certified legend.

[@Iris-AceOfHearts]

Ori! Such a gorgeous duo of games, with fun gameplay elements to boot. The soundtrack is a beauty as well, and as is to be expected - masterfully recreated in this cover!

[@ahaks7269]

You made my entire day, man! :D

[@JonnyAtma]

Thank you Ahaks!

[@DeviDoesNothing]

I heard this and Northeast Frost Street described as metal ballads in Patreon chat a couple times, and if that's the genre they fall under then I think I need more metal ballads. This year's off to a crazy strong start, can't wait to see where it goes from here!

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

I think we all need more metal ballads!

[@noahjohnston9958]

I never finished Ori and the Blind Forest, but this arrangement is making me imagine him donning knight armor and holding his sharp and shiny blade to the sky as he prepares to slay the monsters plaguing the land. Epic as usual, Jonny. :)

[@delta3244]

It probably makes more sense to refer to Ori as genderless, considering they are the offspring of a tree. Good imagery, regardless. No need to answer, but out of curiosity, are you female? I've noticed a tendancy for people to instinctively call Ori male if they're female, and males in turn tend to call Ori female on instinct. (edit: to be clear, first paragraph's point is just to mention a thing I find interesting, not to say "Ori should be referred to with exclusively they/them" with the standard connotations of such phrasing. The same logic I used could be taken, arguably more correctly, to say that any pronoun fits, and the games themselves use... she? he? I cannot remember - _maybe both?_ - to refer to them)

[@delaneyelekes8660]

That's not entirely innaccurate to the second game, where you do actually get a light blade for combat.

[@noahjohnston9958]

@@delta3244 No no, I am a boy, to answer your question. :)

[@delta3244]

@@noahjohnston9958 I see. I wouldn't be surprised if that observation was made out of a lack of sufficient data anyways - not like I did a study on it, after all.

[@Hypert0nic]

I highly recommend revisiting it if you ever have time! It's such a fantastic game :)

[@sealover7134]

This was NOT a song I ever expected you to make. Not that I'm complaining. Ori is one of my all time FAVORITE games.

[@glitchy_weasel]

I'm SO HAPPY so see Ori getting some love. The Ori series is extremely underrated in my opinion. What a fantastic piece! Didn't thought a metal arrangement would pair so well it Light of Nibel.

[@egil9859]

The Ori games are beautiful

[@danielferrieri7434]

I loved Ori and the Blind Forest

[@mr.vanillamilkshake3]

I needed this.

[@edboi8114]

Man Ori has such great music. Even the credits music is amazing. Wonder if we’ll ever get more remixes from this series. Also can’t wait to see what Pokémon song is next. My guess is the PWT Finals theme is finally getting remxied. Here are my requests: 1. Shooting Star (Megaman Starforce 1-3) 2. The Collision of Thunderstorms (Azure Striker Gunvolt) 3. Bellum Phase 1-3 (The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass) 4. Hexazeon (Puzzle and Dragons) 5. Battle! Frontier Brain (Pokemon Emerald/Platinum) 6. Infinite's Theme (Sonic Forces) 7. Knock You Down!! (Deltarune Chapter 2) 8. Burning Throb/Battle Theme (Trails of Cold Steel IV) 9. Trunks Theme (Dragon Ball FighterZ) 10. Sherman Theme (Fairy Fencer F)

[@whokodthelonghorn]

I've personally not played either Ori game, but this remix makes me want to play it! Edit: oh my goodness are we finally getting Iris's Champion Theme?

[@stevepogue1124]

I think its the PWT Finals. If it was Iris, the cutout would show Iris, not the female player.

[@Mythol-OG]

@@stevepogue1124 It could be that! I was thinking either that or the Gym Leader and/or Final Pokémon Theme.

[@DesertRainReads]

I'm just going to say that the Ori games are worth their weight in gold. Amazing Metroidvania from start to finish.

[@luwicki97]

@@stevepogue1124 oooooh, the PWT finals are even better. believe it or not, but that's actually one of my favorite Pokemon battle themes of all time XD

[@Hypert0nic]

I literally just finished both of these games and they quickly became my favorite games of all time. My jaw actually dropped when I saw this in my subscriber feed. This is such an incredible cover and I'd love to see more of Ori in the future!

[@DesertRainReads]

Love how you cover the credits theme after doing "Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark", and you did a stunning job. Love the Ori games, they are beautiful stories with bittersweet endings, very well worth experiencing from start to finish.

[@Berny4000]

Light of Nibel has a segment of "Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark" in it, so both parts are one song.

[@MakelMcFry]

WE LOVE ORI WE DO IN FACT LOVE ORI

[@parzival-bo]

Ooh, B2W2 cover next! Still requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain.

[@ratte6090]

HE ACTUALLY DID IT?! I got into Ori a few months ago, and I performed the fastest click in the damn West when I saw this pop up. This is *art*.

[@egil9859]

This music kept me going during the countless deaths when the tree was flooding.

[@matthewbankey5547]

Never played any of the Ori games, though I heard nothing but amazing things about them. Maybe I’ll get around to them eventually. Totally unexpected cover, though, yet like always, it turned out amazing! Love how it transitioned to acoustic for the outro!

[@Zaveghunter]

They are excellent metroidvanias and I highly recommend them. Definitely among the most beautiful I've played and they always feel great gameplay wise.

[@kepnach6453]

Yeah they are extremely good and very emotional you should definitely try them!

[@DesertRainReads]

I have both Ori games, they are amazing. Truly an emotional tour de force that will leave you a hot mess, especially when you beat Ori and the Will O' the Wisps.

[@landis9767]

imo the first one is meh, but the story is good; while the second one is a disgustingly fun metroidvania but the story is meh. i'd only recommend the second one, even if i find kinda pretentious and style over substance, just because the movements mechanics and level design are phenomenal

[@Deltexterity]

the first one is good, but the second one is literally the best game i've ever played. it's absolutely worth playing both, though.

[@sergiovaldezlopez9201]

I will never forget THAT moment I died and died one after another, and the song never stopped encouraging me to keep trying, you brought such a good memory back :')

[@kepnach6453]

Yeah that’s why I love it so much even when dying so many times it will push you on no matter what.

[@xavibun]

YOOOOOOOOO Ori is literally my favorite video game series of all time

[@maximumkirb3310]

Recently finished both Ori games so you can imagine my excitement when I saw a rock cover of THE best song in the game pop up in my notifs

[@ex1967]

Excellent! I would love to hear your remix of Yokai Watch's "The Last Battle-Are you ready?"

[@kepnach6453]

Wow can’t believe a theme that is instrumental hits so hard and sounds so good on metal I can already imagine Ori rocking out to this while saving Nibel!

[@Leonscott80]

After all this time that I've been following you John, I never expected an Ori soundtrack being GaMetalized, and my god it was a pleasant surprise, you effing nailed it!

[@AcadianBacon8]

The prologue of this game legit made me tear up, so good.

[@Sparktron87]

Totally down for some Ori covers, Riding the Wind would sound amazing in the GaMetal style!

[@AgentIllusion73]

Credits music for the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023? Yes please! (heh, love the Metroidvania shirt combination)

[@genndy4538]

When you're ready to overcome everything, to save this forest.

[@pleaseclap7890]

Oh my God, this is one of my favorite game OSTs for so long. Love this cover.

[@pacothemajestic]

I always thought it was really cool how despite being the protag of their own game, Ori actually serves as the main villain of Rivals of Aether.

[@stevepogue1124]

Really, how did that happen?

[@LeonisYT]

I see gametal upload I click

[@marcosmariovasquezfranco3032]

Ori is a great game, please keep making music of this game Great music like always

[@cosmicdragon9237]

Man, I just dropped a tear I really love both game, I hope we hear more of this in the future

[@SpoopyChicken]

This song always makes me so emotional whenever I listen to it, it really does encapsulate the hope sense of wonder that comes from the world of ori, bravo!

[@captainseg]

This game was very special. A friend of mine recommended it, with him BEGGING ME TO BUY IT NON-STOP, and it was the most beautiful game I have ever played.

[@Zaveghunter]

I needed this type of cover right now after having put my dog down today. I hate cancer so much. Fantastic work as always, I also recently played will of the wisps for the first time and I loved every moment of the sequel. This game was still amazing even if I played it with bad controller set up.

[@DeviDoesNothing]

Oh fuck, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how painful that must be. May your dog rest in peace.

[@Zaveghunter]

@@DeviDoesNothing thanks, I just feel so empty right now.

[@alexemp6201]

This has a mixture of epic and chill that I've rarely seen anywhere. Don't know the original theme, but this was really great, one of your most unique works, keep at it jonny

[@keisuke908]

Ah, yes Ori and the Blind Forest is indeed an epic game. And this cover is even more epic!🎸

[@averageboi]

YES! THANK YOU, this is my favorite song in ori Man I gotta play that sequel sometime

[@xavibun]

Yes you should

[@OceanMichaelShadow]

This is so good it should be illegal.

[@ElTaitronAnim]

I've yet to play Ori, but wow, this is seriously beautiful.

[@whereismrclean6783]

I honestly wasn't expecting anything from this. I haven't played either of the Ori games and I haven't really listened to its soundtrack. At most, I know a couple of song names, but that's it. As such, I had no expectations, and wow, this blew me away. The chanting in the background, the guitars sounding amazing as usual, the fantastic transition from the song to the ending, this was just fantastic in all regards. Now, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Morpho Knight (Kirby Star Allies/Kirby and the Forgotten Land) 6. Smart Race (Deltarune Chapter 2) 7. The Almighty (Persona 4) 8. Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart (Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) 9. Rage Awakened (Kingdom Hearts II) 10. Soul Ablaze (Mega Man ZX)

[@vide0gurt]

Oh I did not know I needed this, haha! Fantastic work!

[@superkai2]

Now THIS is music

[@Gherit1]

Love to see your production and your talent evolve over the years. Keep up the awesome work!!

[@DWFTW]

Something about Ori's music resonated so strongly with me, and this cover certainly keeps that spirit to it. Really good stuff.

[@ghadi4222]

audibly gasped when i saw this in my sub feed, both ori games have some of the best game soundtracks of all time as far as i'm concerned

[@aox7507]

So it was Ori, personally I never played as I never had a reason to; though I'm a sucker for good music scores. Maybe that can be my reason? Last video was good but evidently my comment wasn't saved; thanks for being this consistent. You've been pumping out songs since 2016 when I first found this channel; if you ever need a break, feel free to take one, you of all people deserve it. Requests for future songs below: Kingdom Hearts 2: Lingering Will Metroid Prime: Tallon IV Overworld Theme Yakuza 0: Receive You ~Tech Trance Arrange~ Chrono Cross: Dream of the Shore Near Another World

[@TheCreepypro]

always sounding so good

[@MephistophEli]

Omg I'm crying so hard I've always wanted something from ori, literally my favoritest game everrr

[@jackcoble9166]

WHAT! KZbin turned off my notifications and I missed this masterpiece! Great work dude!

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Love the soundtrack of this metroidvania, and Ori is a game that should not be skipped!

[@AmyTheBrawler]

I see a GaMetal video, even if I never heard of the game, I click. Loved it.

[@ord3r781]

Wasn’t a huge fan of Blind Forest when I played it, but I will admit it’s soundtrack was 100% GaMetal worthy. Great Job! Torn Stitch and/or As it All Crumbles Down (Underhero) plz

[@tattersthebat6253]

WHOAAA THIS SOUNDS AWESOME!!

[@CosmicTerminal]

You just don't miss! This was beautifully done, especially the ending.. That had me almost tearing up just like after my first playthrough.

[@aBlackMage]

Wow, I love Ori and you've really done this song justice. Not one I would've ever imagined a metal cover of, but it just works. I guess truly anything can be metal-fied!

[@LoneStarr240]

Good lord this is awesome!

[@GIURIOLOChannel1991]

I've been waiting for a metal cover of ORI music for a long time and I haven't been disappointed! My compliments for this musical masterpiece!

Now that it's out, I have a few requests: It's Pizza Time! - Pizza Tower The Death That I Deservioli (Lap 2) - Pizza Tower

[@Rubberman202]

Hell yeah, I'd LOVE a GaMetal Pizza Tower cover, especially It's Pizza Time!

[@thelifesampler]

I have watching gametal like 8 years so far and watching Ori here Im gonna cry!

[@Faxanadu_]

Love me some Ori remixes Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES

[@I_8_your_doorframe]

Never thought I'd hear ori music being played by you

Oh good, I needed to cry my eyes out today, and also needed to rock out! God Ori was such a good frickin game.

[@janmichelebrogni]

Awesome as usual

[@Dededevastating]

I really fell in love with the Ori games and you covering a track from them is just amazing! You absolutely nailed it again!

[@storm5936]

I've never played Ori but this is FANTASTIC

[@fawon]

I feel strong spirit fire from here! Feels like this game is getting more and more love after the time... im glad about it

[@Rayneworld]

This sounds like it would play as Ori has an epic awakening moment, and he's all that stands between a force of evil and everything he loves, then has a fight with a final boss. Not necessarily Kuro or Shriek but like, a new story.

[@okami6399]

I was just thinking about how I needed to beat Will of the Wisps, thanks to this remix I'm finally reinstalling it!

[@erukizan]

Amazing cover for one of the best indies ever made ❤️

[@woody5937]

Thats the point in a game i start to cry

[@ZLunare]

God this makes me need to replay both games. Wish we could have gotten another

[@maxfrohlich2787]

Love it!

[@Godlysound]

It's honestly such a dopamine hit seeing these videos, wondering how you're going to metalify them, especially the ones already quite far from metal, and then being blown away by your arrangements

[@cyberlinkx5290]

The timing for this is perfect as I just finished this game. It was a beautiful experience in every sense of the word

[@MrBoochris]

GAMETALLL YOOOO

[@deutscheskaiserreich2344]

As a longtime Ori enjoyer, I have no words to describe this state of art, I'm glad to see our little spirit involved in heavy metal XD

[@captaingig2]

This arrangement is a whole vibe, dude. Well done.

[@Theanine3D]

I always loved the Ori soundtrack, and this tune in particular. Your remix is such an awesome homage to it!

[@JustAJ-Official]

I completed both ori games, all the osts hit hard and to see it getting some attention by you is amazing.

[@007ghost3]

As soon as they put Ori on the Switch I bought both games physically and fell in LOVE! I highly recommend both games!

[@arzothespiritwarrior2330]

I know I'm a little late to comment but as someone who is a massive fan of the ori games (if it wasn't obvious enough by my profile pic and username lol) you did this song so much justice. It's an absolutely awesome and breathtaking cover keep up the good work man 🤩💖

[@Deltexterity]

you should do "Mora The Spider" from ori and the will of the wisps, it's so good

[@mightywaranvil2912]

Repping not just Ori and the Blind Forest, but Rivals of Aether by proxy! Speaking of which, I'm requesting these: Neo Fire Nation Medley (Fire's Last Hope / Embers of a Burning Dystopia) - Rivals of Aether Encounter!/Battle!

[@Squibbus]

well this was one of the most unexpected things i've ever seen in my sub feed

[@DWFTW]

You know what I'm just going to throw this out there on a similar vibe. I'd love if you did a cover of the Dark Cloud credit's theme or main theme.

[@Sir_Steven]

Well this cover took me by surprise, to say the least. Incredible work as always!

[@Guardie]

Fastest click of the day

[@pikmaniac2643]

Played the game a few months back, and while I never found the music to be especially memorable, I can appreciate a good cover regardless. Good stuff.

[@ThePurpleCheeseMan]

I think back to childhood and how my parents didn't really approve of me listening to metal because they worried it would bring out aggressive or violent behavior but things like this show that you can pull something more emotional and even hopeful out of a metal arrangement. I love the way the harsh guitars contrast the beautiful strings to keep it high energy yet beautiful. It helps that the Ori soundtrack is great to begin with.
