A bunch of orchestra nerds got together and decided to create this. Incredible.

[@charliepirhonen9734]

Super Metroid has become high art, what a time to be alive...

[@VunderGuy]

Wait till they make the movie.

[@coltonk.3086]

What do you mean "become"? Always has been high art :)

[@Go-go_Godzilla]

The music had so much GRAVITY that it had me BEAM with a WAVE of emotion!😁 I simply DREAD that I won't be able to dance to this at the SPRING BALL!😱 "TERRA PAX"

[@Water_Me_Loan_64_YT]

PUNS! :3

[@HerosTheme]

This had a lot of late 80's early 90's anime vibes. Had a similar sound to Dragonball and Fist of the North Star

[@jl-fy3zj]

The compositions in Super Metroid always had an amazing way of giving each area it's own flavor of imminent doom.

[@gokubatfatman2366]

PERFECTION!

[@Leeohlin89]

The Original score was composed by Kenji Yamamoto for Super Metroid and I bet if he’s still around, he’s in absolute awe about this! He’s legendary forever for his musical genius that inspired others to play his music! 🥰🥰🥰🔥

[@danasgamereviews3854]

Listening to SOOOO much Metroid music right now to get pumped for Dread! This was fantastic!

[@yes2theL]

Bummer Dread's music wasn't as iconic

[@samustheshollie6300]

We need DLC with all the original music for Metroid dread

[@user-wh4ou3to2x]

1日20回は聴いている。 すばらしい。 ありがとうございます。 35年前にはじめて曲を聴いた者です。 いまでもメトロイドの音楽は最高のメロディです。 そして、サムス・アランが女だと知った時のショックは今でも覚えている。

[@Krooksbane]

It was a big deal back when we were kids

[@outofbounds5388]

That EVH-style artificial harmonic during Kraid's lair was pretty cool tho

[@outofbounds5388]

Because I can't like twice I'll give you 2 comments... My 2 favorite things... Metroid and Classical. You guys deserve some traction! Cheers

[@ruggie.74]

If you guys weren't around and on the internet pre-Fusion, and you're not already aware, go check out Metroid Metal. Pretty cool stuff.

[@jonahkaiguam]

Oh man I love this. Metroid is my most favorite franchise of all time....with Super Metroid being my favorite game of all time. I literally would leave my TV and snes on just to listen to the music play on an infinite loop. I love Lower Norfair section of the performance...it's one of my favorite songs in the game. The Ridley fight song was good too and that guitar was on point

[@CrimsonA1]

As a long Metroid-fan, I'm totally astonished.

Oh, and I betting that Ridley, Dark Samus (and somehow) Mother Brain were the 3 that didn't like this utterly beautiful arrangement.

[@awesomecake_abc2748]

@@anthonynycholas4230 They're probably remixes of the original themes

[@andrewp6387]

My first dip into the Metroid series was Fusion....then a bit later I got Prime.....then I got Samus Returns when it was released. Now Dread has cemented my love of the series and my desire to play Super Metroid. Hearing this music fills me with such happiness

[@alphablender]

...And the conclusion of this concert is outstanding...

[@dr3wt947]

Imagine playing metroid for real just off to the side while they play the music for you lol

[@Edgey80]

OMG this is AWESOME.

[@raulparedesr.1218]

So glad I found this! Thank you thank you thank you!👏👏👏👏

[@davidpicard5376]

Remarkable Kenji Yamamoto compositions! Who would've dreamt that video game music would be so influential in every day pop culture that an entire ensemble of talented musicians would be paid to dedicate their valuable time to play these pieces?!! I have truely enjoyed this.

[@thezomby5015]

Finally, some decent metroid music performed by an orchestra, and not just the intro of NES Metroid like most do!

[@mattdekker5693]

Bassist like "yeah gonna wear my aviatars in the dark so i cant read the notes, good thing I look so cool buried in the back where no one can see me!"

[@J-Land]

The guitar player is pretty sure he's the coolest guy there

[@ruggie.74]

I lost it when I saw him wearing shades.

[@davidpicard5376]

I'm pretty sure guitarist are almost as cool as a concert pianist . I wear my sunglasses at night ☺️

[@TheFinalStarman]

He’s right

[@robinvanlier]

He's also immensely out of place, it's so jarring whenever the guitar comes in. And as a metalhead I don't usually mind an electric guitar.

[@Ezper-2099]

@@robinvanlier I mind when there's no electric guitar. /j

[@VunderGuy]

Can't wait for the epic Metroid movie Nintendo and Universal are going to make to hear all this epic music on the big screen!

[@TheDonaldHarris]

I love how the guitarist is still wearing shades... like "Pfft I will show this stiffs how to shred" :)

HOW THE HELL DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE LIKES ?!?!?

[@JamesThomasJeans]

Goddamn, this is beautiful. Super Nintendo music realized by an orchestra is always fantastic, and Metroid definitely benefits from it.

[@anthonynycholas4230]

There were soundtracks from Metroid Prime. Most notably Magmoor Caverns and Phendrana Drifts. Then again I've only ever completed Super Metroid twice. Once on the Wii U and once on the New 3DS XL.

[@SpagDev]

@@anthonynycholas4230 magmoor is just a remix of lower Norfair from super

[@anthonynycholas4230]

@@SpagDev Really? I grew up playing Fusion and the Prime trilogy (I own the original 2 GameCube version but not with Corruption) I never could pull off the "Early Space Jump Boots" sequence break. I wonder if you can still do it on the Wii? I'd have to dust off my Wii or Wii U and re-play the game in a bit...

[@Muuujen]

I'm crying...beautiful

[@Jac0Frost0SCZ]

I was tingling the entire time. This is phenomenal!

[@ExtremeAce]

Been listening to this quite often for a while now. This orchestra was really good, and the Ridley remix was killer!

[@zbenz1017]

Best Metroid orchestra version ever! I listen to this masterpiece everyday!

[@Edgey80]

wow my favorite series finally gets the love it deserves :')

[@sophia_comicart]

Ive been through all these concerts. The arrangements and playing are superb. Immaculate musical choices and feeling. Thank you!

[@MrKevin486]

Amazing. Just amazing.

[@kapparomeo]

Interesting and distinctive that this medley is generally jauntier and livelier than most other Metroid arrangements, particularly the "Super Metroid Story" section at the start which invariably slams down the looming presence elsewhere.

[@Stankboi]

In-varia-bly

[@noahboddy1484]

booooooo! lol

[@TeenoMotz]

This is amazing. We NEED more Metroid concerts!!!!

[@cagedcoyote2862]

ive never had something put me to tears you guys took music from a game series and made it into some so beautiful thank u

This is an incredibly versatile orchestra. Fantastic arrangements, fantastic performances, bravo!

[@samustheshollie6300]

Very well done beautiful Bravo Bravo

[@xyoungdipsetx]

This is just fantastic! Wow. So freaking amazing. This theme used to give me chills as a kid and now they have a orchestra doing it. I wish they made more amazing themes like this.

[@x-celsius5905]

This is beautiful!! I love how well organized this is, and I LOVE the song choices for the piece. I listen to this just to be happy; I love Metroid so much!!!

[@rand64444]

Absolutely loved the throwback to orginal

[@rjkilla84]

the transition from kraids lair to lower norfair is perfect. I'm very curious about the musicians opinion or first impressions of the music

[@SongsfromourSavefiles]

Glad you liked it! As this was part of a student project, a thesis was written on this subject! It is unfortunately in Swedish but it can be accessed here: kmh.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1386375&dswid=-6834 Written by Johannes Frykholm (the synth player) and focusing on the Super Mario and Metroid arrangement we had

[@abrahampapetti1315]

@@SongsfromourSavefiles I was very struck by the excitement of the synth player... Excuse my English, greetings from Chile. This is the most beautiful thing we have seen of Metroid

[@shadowridley]

This is perfection exploding in all my senses at once. Can we find a way to superimpose this into at least 1 Metroid Game?

[@gamestrument]

This is brilliant! Great to see orchestras show classic VGM so love

Magnificent!!!

[@anthonynycholas4230]

Holy fucking shit! This thing gave me legit chills after listening to this... I can't find the words how mind-blowing this is! Nintendo could have included this as an inclusion w/Metroid Dread just like Zelda had done w/Skyward Sword ten years ago on Zelda's 25th by including a CD which had 8 symphonic versions of 8 different songs -The Legend of Zelda 25 Anniversary Medley -Kakariko Village -Twilight Princess Theme -The Wind Waker Symphonic Movement -Gerudo Valley -Great Fairy Fountain Theme -The Legend of Zelda Main Theme Medley -Ballad of the Goddess from Skyward Sword *UNFORTUNATELY* those damn lowlife Scalpers would buy 'em in bulk and resell it for 4x the retail price just like they're doing w/ the special edition version of the physical copy.

[@magnawaves]

I can't believe I've never watched this video before. What a lovely concert

[@inc2000glw]

I wonder how many of them played a Metroid?

[@novustalks7525]

It's so awesome hearing an orchestra perform metroid music. I was very interested in how it would turn out

Je suis assez abasourdi par la qualité de son d'une part et d'adaptation d'autre part. Super bien filé, les thèmes sont génialement retranscrits, à peine trop court mais on peut pas tout avoir. c'est vraiment un régal. Bravo et merci.

[@spongebobslesserknownbroth9769]

God Kraids lair would’ve been so much better if they’d done a crescendo with the trombones and given it that huge punch that comes with the brass

[@AidanTurowski]

Just found this, it's certainly the best rendition of the metroid soundtrack I've ever heard! Love the guitar player too. Any chance of putting it up for download somewhere? Would totally buy this.
