Metroid Music - Kraid's Lair (Synth Cover)

[@Bruh-ms4jh]

I read the view count as 2 million and thought "I'm not surprised!" Then saw it was only 2k then thought "this guy is underrated!" XD

[@justinferreira2571]

I do that al that time with Glasys.. crazy how more people have not discovered him

[@leospanghero5479]

Criminally underrated!!!!!!!

[@thisaintart]

So we will have full capacity of views… soon.

[@AnthonyDentinger]

Don't worry, given how it's going right now I should get us to 2mil on my own soon enough.

[@andomrtoob7338]

I misread your comment as 2 trillion lol

[@rlpn6710]

The modulated sound makes it feel so alien. This is fire

[@GLASYS]

Thanks gyno!

[@GoyslopGladiator]

This is how I imagine this track would've sounded in Metroid Prime, excellent work friend!

[@GLASYS]

Thank you! I really appreciate that

[@SeanNH94]

I thought the exact same thing! I wish it had been in a prime game, it's probably my favorite metroid song of all time!

[@RyanGraubner]

This might be my new favourite version of Kraid's Lair.

[@denorgehdubxd9205]

same

[@swenwhitow5892]

Luminist's version is fine too. Eerie and more horrorish

[@Dr.GundeathPunchface-enstein]

I love how oppressive you've made this sound. The weight of the galaxy is always on Samus's shoulders, it only makes sense that the soundtrack would sound appropriately bleak.

[@r0ckworthy]

Great point.

[@aaronmoravek]

Your cover is the best version outside of the original, people always do too much with the song. Its supposed to be echoey indicating vast distances yet the song should be clear like a bell without too much going on which adds to the feeling of isolation and focus.

[@GLASYS]

Thank you Aaron, I appreciate the compliment 🙏

[@southbrazosbass244]

Agreed, but for the purpose of education, this is a "piece". A "song" has someone singing. Learned that in piano class in college, found it informative. 🖖

[@totolol9387]

Have you heard luminist cover of the song? Omg you should

[@eanschaan9392]

@@southbrazosbass244 Sounds pretentious.

[@aaronmoravek]

I actually wondered what the nomenclature was for music without singing and now a know. I used to just call it music or a score, but it didn't feel right in a sentence sometimes.

[@Cline3911]

InKraidable. I damn near teared up listening to this. This is awesome.

[@Freelancer117]

This is an absolutely stellar rendition of Brinstar Depths. Truly fantastic.

[@GLASYS]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@animationgraveyard6068]

This is NOW my favorite version of this! Holy shit is this really really good.

[@GLASYS]

Hey Animation Graveyard thank you so much! Glad you like it!

[@jesseraymond423]

I absolutely LOVE the "out of this world" creepy stare at the camera at the end... You did my favorite song from my favorite game justice. Well well done!

[@GLASYS]

Thanks Jesse! :)

[@krystalwilliams841]

This is the best cover to date bravo my guy

[@GLASYS]

Thanks Krystal, really appreciate the compliment! Glad you like it! 🙏

[@JforJonas]

I've stumbled across a goldmine of a channel. Thank you for making this

[@GLASYS]

Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate you being here 🙏♥️

[@ctrl_altesc]

This is absolutely amazing how modern Metroid would sound. Bravo sir. You capture the essence of Metroid perfectly.

[@GLASYS]

Thanks so much man! That means a lot! 🙏

[@ctrl_altesc]

@@GLASYS You are so welcome. You absolutely shred these synths.

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

True to form, I love how the synths add Metroid-like spookiness to the piece

[@GLASYS]

Thanks Ryan!

[@TimmyDutton3]

Bro!!!! This has been my game for over 3 decades. With that being said, this is one THE ALL TIME GREATEST METROID COVERS EVER!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GLASYS]

Hey Timmy, you’re incredibly kind, thank you! Glad you like it 🙏

[@spencerj]

Dude these covers are so sick, thank you so much for making this content. I’d love to see you make whatever you want to make next, but if you’re looking for ideas for material to cover, Megaman X and Megaman X2 have some absolutely incredible music for synth and percussion

[@GLASYS]

Definitely wanna cover Megaman at some point! Thanks Spencer!

[@USMCTexan]

@@GLASYS - do spark mandrill stage!

[@ArtyDeez]

Cold, isolating, alien; this is what Kraid's Lair should be. The theme perfectly encapsulates the landscape of the caverns: so pitch black it's suffocating, with all you can hear being your own breathing, the scuttling of things in the distance, and... very unsettling roars. Excellent cover, sir.

[@GLASYS]

Thank you so much! Love your description 💙🙏

[@jakehildebrand1824]

This perfectly captures the feel of metroid.

[@ZealKingdom]

Kraid's theme has always been one of my favorites in all of video game music. I've heard MANY great covers over the years. This is as good as any of them.

[@GLASYS]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@cicada_games]

I agree with the other guy, Glasys is criminally slept on. He deserves LITERALLY TRILLIONS of views and likes.

[@GLASYS]

My man thanks so much 🙏

[@Phoenix_1991]

I guess aliens from other planets should listen to it to get a trillion views right? Like Tallon IV, space pirates' home planet etc. xD

[@eyeball226]

A phenomenal bit of arranging and playing. Bravo!

[@GLASYS]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@BageI_]

Kid me is happy hearing this😌

[@nemesis3295]

I love the little squiggles? Bird chirpy noises? Whatever those are. Love em.

[@nataku411]

My god, I am so happy you've been covering Metroid and Castlevania. Absolute banger job mate.

[@GLASYS]

Thank you Kyle! I'm having a blast covering these

[@mustacheman529]

This is amazing! I've always loved this theme, and you made it so much better.

[@GLASYS]

That means a lot, thanks Mustache Man! 🙏

[@ADTribalChild]

That was hauntingly beautiful...

[@GLASYS]

Thanks so much!

[@4Wilko]

The Metroid 1 soundtrack works so well for synth covers. Nice one.

[@juakinreinoso676]

If they ever make a movie this exact theme better be in it!

[@xyz39808]

I thought the finger slider thingy on the martenot was a little metroid at first

[@skylark9896]

This cover is so rad. I've listened to it about 8 times in a row now

[@WildSeven19]

One of the rare times I actually have liked and subscribed.

[@Mitchkit]

Absolutely gorgeous! What a great and unique cover to bring to this particular theme! The choice of Synths, and samples, from layering and mastering. Thank you for this beautiful cover.

[@GLASYS]

Hey Mitchkit, you're so kind! Thanks for the compliments and support, really appreciate it! 🙏

[@zant9099]

Another perfect example of keeping the original intent of the song there. You're incredible man.

[@GLASYS]

I only cover songs that move me on a deep level. Keeping the original feeling/intent is very important to me, so I appreciate you acknowledging that! :)

[@zant9099]

I'm very happy to hear that. Also enjoy that you only cover songs that you have a personal attachment to. It's very obvious that you're super passionate about the ones that you do cover. I'm SO happy that you are doing all of these. Thank you.

[@XH1927]

If Kraid had been as badass as his theme made him out to be, no one would have ever beat Metroid

[@sowsidestl2.070]

I bought this game with my paper route money in Oct 1987. Your Metroid music brings me back to a wonderful time in me life. Thank you .

[@eanschaan9392]

God, I love the music from the Metroid series. It is so moody and ambient. I really love the way you did this piece.

[@metroide3878]

That's dope dude! I love the way this Matriarch sounds.

[@radioactivemario]

jesus this is the best cover. It illustrates the cold loneliness of being that deep in the planet and in a sweet and more importantly genuine retro flair.

[@GLASYS]

Thank you so much, that really means a lot! Appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@PutitinDaramen]

Such a cool melody

[@AngryAsianLoL]

The finger speed is simply astounding! Well done!!!

[@Twisted_Logic]

Absolutely astounding! Can't believe I'm just finding this channel now. Funny timing, though, because I was just thinking this morning how I'd love to find a cover channel focused on synths

[@GLASYS]

Thank you Twisted Logic! Welcome to the channel! :)

[@crazybobby14]

@@GLASYS Thanks, keep up the amazing work. From what I've seen until now, you have a lot of great and creative content. Even the collaboration was fun to watch. One thing I noticed with different channels is that original contents are hard to pass by because it's hard for people to find them. Having a few content like these gives you a great chance of people like me finding your channel. Keep up the awesome work Glasys!

[@Denature1020]

Congratulations, man. Excellent cover. Super Metroid was my game growing up 🎉

[@hypan0vaULTRA]

as the thousandth like on this video, I just wanna say that this is my most favourite cover of any metroid track. you captured it perfectly. this is the way it always sounded in my head. thank you for making amazing covers. this one hits the spot.

Hey CraKaJAK thanks so much, both for the heartwarming comment and the 1000th like (holy heck). I really appreciate you! :)

I'm gonna be honest I didn't expect to get goosebumps from this, fantastic job

[@RelznirZ]

Dude, I keep coming to this cover because it has the same feeling of the original by you manage to expand on that feeling with your instrumentation and it reaaally does a lot for the song. In short I love it and can't wait for more.

Thanks so much, that really means a lot! Working on some new Metroid covers :)

I remember the late 1980's... I was around 4 or 5 and input in the code "Justin Bailey" and traversed to some random area of the map only to go to Kraids lair and just not move the controller and listen to that tune.

Your cover should have more views, you're a genius! You've encapsulated the feeling of isolation and fear of not knowing what could happen really well, also the mix of sounds that you've used feel really "alien" or "sci-fi", I don't how to describe them, but either way, this was such a masterpiece!

[@psychotheunsane4542]

If I were Samus, and heard this theme as I hunted for Kraid, I would definitely "Dread" running into the giant Godzilla wannabe. This track captures the feel of the deep-underground cavern where Kraid lurks perfectly.

[@nihilisticadventure]

It always makes me smile whenever I see the word synth cover when describing Metroid music😊 if Metroid music is played any other way other than synth, it has failed spectacularly

[@raziyatheseeker]
