➤ Hey guys! Here is my first cover from one of my favorite games of all time, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes!
This game is insanely nostalgic to me so I was insanely stoked when my man R9000 requested that I shred up the main theme to this game. The OST to this game can tend to be difficult to put together in a metal format but this particular song as well as a few more can definitely do the trick! (there are still some additional songs I want to do from this game as well!)
I wanted to capture the vibe of the original theme as well as the vibe of the game itself with this cover. I experimented with a lot of different synth effects to put you in a space (or even in space itself). I really dig how the layers ended up working together in this arrangement!
My initial idea was to go in a more rhythm guitar oriented direction and get some really awesome Meshuggah / In Flames style chug riffs in there. I really enjoy some of the grooves in this cover especially when locked in with the drums, I found myself re-recording certain parts an insane amount of times just because I wanted to continue playing it!
I'm super happy with how this cover turned out. I wanted to really capture the feel of Metroid Prime 2 and I felt that I was able to with this arrangement. I hope you guys enjoy this cover as much as I enjoyed making it!
➤ The original Title theme from the game "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes" was composed by Kenji Yamamoto.
➤ Thank you to Zen Archer for the game footage!

Metroid Prime 4 hype!

[@maneater_mela]

ToxicxEternity YUSS!!!!

[@leviofnoxus4275]

Still hyped

[@TraceguyRune]

Better than ever. Nintendo gave the dev rights back to Retro Studios.

[@bezoznaught5261]

I found a hidden gem in Metroid Prime 2 ost. You should do the Darkness/Vs. Dark Samus track, it's so metal, and I think it would be one of your darkest, most badass covers ever if you did it!

[@princeofallsaiyans1838]

Sadly there will never be a metroid prime 4.

[@LittleVMills]

So damn good! \m/

[@ToxicxEternity]

\m/ cheers VGmetal brother

[@carolinedevlin2446]

Dude, I LOVE your Divine Hate cover! You should have at least 10 million subscribers!

[@Sankaritarina89]

So fucking badass! And Metroid Prime 4 Hype is real!

[@RoPanuganti]

Metroid + You, I knew how good this would be.

[@I-Am-Error]

Watching this for the celebration of Metroid Prime 4 finally being announced.

[@thenumidiumborn7601]

Never has the number 4 ever make me shit myself as bad as that trailer did...

[@SPIRIT-117]

on todays episode of stuff that has aged poorly :(

[@THEN00BINATORX3]

Weve had a new half life game before prime 4 has come out.

[@Hadfield15]

It's finally here, brothers! The trailer just dropped today after 7 years of waiting!!

[@Bloobiebla]

Echoes is of the top 5 greatest games of all time. Thank you for this Jacky Boy!

[@SonicD28546]

The chorus in the background near the middle gave me chills. Bravo!

[@yuriridley8144]

How did I not know this channel?! I LOVE IT! 🖤

[@adamherrick6077]

Happy tears, man. This was beautiful. Two of my favorite things colliding full force into absolute nirvana.

[@quietjester154]

Grew up with Prime 2, this opening theme has been one of my favorite Metroid themes for a VERY long time, I patiently await the day where Nintendo announces Prime 2 Remastered and I get to hear this gem on my Switch. Hopefully.

[@BompShardz]

I have to say, you have some of the sickest metal covers out here, man. Your production is INSANELY good!!

[@ToxicxEternity]

Thanks so much Brent!

[@notarealspy4090]

The rhythmic pace is downright legendary Absolutely headbang worthy \m/

[@MikazukiKai]

NOW.... *CAN WE GET RUNDAS THEME*, PRETTY PLEASEE!!!! ^___________________________^

[@diarykeeper]

This. Noxus big bro (not really) would like a remix.

[@Metalizationer]

Oh dear lord!! One of the only living beings that can arrange a Metroid tune to sound better than the original 😵👌🏼 Incredible work here dude!!

[@PokedachsVT]

I want a Metroid Prime 2 HD Port for Nintendo Switch

[@Metalizationer]

Immortal Teostra prime series port would be orgasmic /\

[@Sleepless_Sam]

If you're okay with 10 fps, we can make that HD part happen.

[@wowhatheck]

That's almost exactly what I thought: I want a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD c:

[@kemanorel3110]

+First Last HD doesn't necessarily mean a full graphics overhaul. At its base, an HD port means reworking it to render in HD. And plus, I'd take HD resolution with 60 FPS over a full graphics overhaul, especially since Prime 2 still looks great even now thanks to its excellent lighting system. If we can get Prime 2 running in 1080p 60 FPS I'd be happy, since it means I won't have to emulate. I'd rather play a game on a console than emulate since that puts a lot of stress on a computer.

[@huntergman8338]

I want the trilogy on PC. Edit: without the need for an emulator.

[@ThatOneBaconLover]

These covers are truly amazing, this was one of my fav games back in 2014 or so

[@R9000]

This is so amazing dude. I didn't know what you were gonna do with the song when I requested it, but I knew it would be awesome. And I was right! :D Thanks so much for doing this!!

[@anixXninjaXprototype]

Good lord my spine has nothing but chills!!!! Love this!

[@luliby2309]

Aw man, seeing the Metroid Prime 4 hype from 2 years ago... It's not here yet people...not yet...

[@Velociferon]

This was sooooo well done! Cheers mate

[@krom8026]

I don't know weather to cry or headbang to this wonderful masterpiece

[@wowhatheck]

What an intense rush of nostalgia this cover--and an unexpected surprise too! omg this is so amazing!

[@adelicoduranjr.9386]

My mans crushed it

[@aislynndraconisart8427]

I seriously can't get enough of this

[@DannLink]

One of my favorite Metroid tunes and this Prime game is Outstanding, I have a lot of amazing memories of this game, thanks for covering it Jack :)

[@WinglessRaven]

freaking incredible composition!

[@Sphendrana]

This is what I imagined this theme would be like if Stemage was gonna do it. Certified Aether Classic!

[@christianbourassa137]

Yo this is so good man Metroid prime 2 is my favorite of all time that riff is amazing

[@movesetmaster2756]

Torvus Bog! or The Sky Temple! (Dark Aether parts in the songs would be sick too.)

[@bangboo8501]

I can't believe you did this! :o YOU'RE THE MAN!!!

[@ItsShatter]

Deserves more views

[@thehomiezach710]

absolutely grand LEGENDARY.

[@TheFalcoDude]

This thing has so few views it's a CRIME. Awesome cover.

[@zachwaddell7771]

I keep coming back. This is going to be playing when ever the switch port comes out

[@Lunar137]

Metroid....My baby. The only reason I haven't made any request for this series is because I feel its damn near already perfect. Yet this happened...

[@ArtForSwans]

Putting this on permanent repeat now that Prime 4 was announced. Fuck yes.

[@GamingWithCalvin1]

echoes is my 6th favorite metroid game, but it has my favorite lore for SURE

[@RespectThePep]

This cover has such a strong Gojira feel in the beginning

[@DevilDaz17]

great job, as always!

[@nythepremier]

Great cover. Glad to see metroid getting some love.

[@Medz98194]

Dude, this was freaking insane. Favorite game and theme in the series, and you absolutely killed it! I'd love to hear your take on the Torvus Bog or Sanctuary Fortress theme, or literally any other theme from that game! The soundtrack is freaking great! I seriously need to play it again now!

[@ToxicxEternity]

same dude I really wanna play MP2 again. I'm definitely going to do some more themes from this game!

[@Medz98194]

Can't wait for it!

[@dankdankeryetdanker2726]

I need to play the Metroid Series it looks like fun. Plus this song playing looped on my run.

[@franciscolozada3627]

awesome cover, one of my favorite games from the GameCube

[@blues03]

My ears would die and go to Heaven if I could hear TxE do the menu theme for Prime 2.

[@zakcolburn]

I thought it couldn't get more awesome. I was soooo wrong! Metroid + metal = ❤

[@ItsShatter]

Epic man

[@solesurvivor8897]

Awesome cover. And awesome Nile shirt!

[@DavidRYates-tk2tq]

OH MY GOD WTF THIS IS TOO GOOD HELP

[@anthonymauro4025]

Toxic please put this on Spotify!!

[@HeadPhonz]

any chance this could go on spotify? really just love how this song came out man

[@tdark987]

0:34 I’m not sure if this was the case in the original, but the rhythm of the melody here reminds me a bit of the lead melody from Samus’ theme in Super Metroid.

[@TheRoboticFerret]

I'd love to hear this treatment for Prime 2's Torvus Bog music

[@diarykeeper]

Yep. That was a nice one. However I'm not to sure how most Metroid Music responds to an E-Guitar.

[@DETHKLOKgear666]

METROID PRIME 4 ITS COMING!!!

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

Its cancelled and being made from the start... *By Retro Stusios* \○/

[@jaymoreno8431]

Bring back Metroid!

[@easy_e_1976]

We are Beyond hyped!!

[@BillyQvarnstrom]

Freaking sick man! Chugs were taaasty~

[@Monkey1990100]

great theme as usual toxic eternity.

[@TheAccursedHunter01]

Awesome! I don't think there's a remix of this song, but this is a damn good first impression. If I was ever going to recommend/ask for a song to be remixed, it would have the be the Emperor Ing Theme 2 from Prime 2. There's no remix for that song either, all the more reason I'd adore to hear it. Both themes are awesome, but theme 2 is my favorite, since it encapsulates the feeling of the stakes involved in the battle, since it decides the fate of two worlds, and the galaxy at large.

[@ToxicxEternity]

I'm totally down for Emperor Ing and some other themes from MP2. I also really want to do the Ending credits theme.

[@TheAccursedHunter01]

Prime 2's ending theme is different than most. For Prime's 1 & 3, the ending theme is a variation of the opening theme, but Prime 2's theme is it's own thing, but still captures the feel of the game itself and the fact that it's over now. I'd love remixes of Prime stuff in general, it seems to get the least amount of attention when compared to the 2D games for some reason. Another theme that comes to mind is the "Cut Scene Theme" from Rocket Knight Adventures. It plays in the very beginning of the game before the first level starts (you'd be surprised how hard it was to find on KZbin). That song sounds like it's begging for a metal remix.

[@bboynoe]

JACK THIS IS AMAZING HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[@kirikei]

just when I decided to do some retroplaying on the whole metroid saga on gba, what a coincidence. good work!

[@jdfandbbm]

Incredible! Love this version

[@Xzameron]

In my honest opinion I felt this was the hardest Prime out of the whole trilogy. Even though I love the other two games as well.

[@thenumidiumborn7601]

Boost boss gave me ptsd

[@Hawklazer]

Agree

[@hyperwing5374]

I think it is, beaten the original prime 1 & 3 on hard/hypermode. Beaten prime 1 & 3 again on hard/hypermode in the prime trilogy and beaten prime 2 on hypermode, f**k the alpha/dark alpha splinter, boost guardian, and the last fight w/ dark samus

[@user-vy2bz5fl8k]

Absolutely love it!!!!

[@OfNothingEverything]

Awesome cover!

[@jarodtate3451]

Why'd it take me 2 years to find this? O_o

[@AceGuru]

I just listened to this playing Metroid Samus Returns and just damn...metal.

[@MexiMiioo]

Dope my dude

[@randomdude995]

more metroid! i love your covers! :D

[@quinnjoseph]

As always Toxic your new cover sounds amazing!

[@LukanerVGM]

Loving it!

[@diarykeeper]

Loved the Metroid Music (mostly from the FPSs). But a metal version ? Seemed unthinkable till now :D

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

I didn't want this to end

[@CaptainFalkorm]

fucking EPIC man!

[@OhNoTheFace]

Just started playing this again recently. Small world. :D Tis awesome

[@FoxKing388]

Badass rift dude 👍😁

[@Robyn_Plays]

I was just thinking you should do another Metroid cover. Amazing as always

[@Robyn_Plays]

Just realised there was one from over a year ago which didn't come up when I tried to search it. Liked it, but not exactly how I had hoped for it to sound.

[@stevennorland5250]

if they were ever to make a Metroid TV show this would be the theme song.

[@chaosmiles07]

Killer as it was, it felt too short... But I'm certain the Luminoth bow to your skills, Toxic!

[@calebchild4467]

Hey I recognize this! It's the menu music from Metroid Prime Trilogy!

[@triggeredcat120]

It’s from Metroid Prime 2, the opening theme. Not the menu music.

[@davidperiman2900]

I was wondering if you could possibly do a metal cover of thardus or omega pirate from prime 1 or dark Samus from prime 2

[@jamesehlenfeldt7132]

Fuck yeah!

[@oscarmiguelgomezcazares3350]

fucking awesome!

[@rufus310]

plz do the Metroid Prime Menu Select Theme sometime that would be so sick

[@WaxyAssassin]

More Metroid Plz!

[@mikevanvoorst6815]

Metroid Prime 3 SkyTown, Elysia theme.

[@LexusJDM350]

You enjoying the new Metroid Prime remaster? Such a long wait for the 4th one

[@Jon4270]

Any chance you'll do the menu theme? Another iconic one from this game, but I guess it wouldn't fit metal very well.

Really want to see a new Prime-esque game for Switch, I feel the Prime trilogy was easily the height of the series by far.

You're in luck, fellow bounty hunter, because Metroid Prime 4 is currently in development for the Switch. ;)
