[@javidrafiek]

After all these years I still come back for the greatest OCremix to ever bless my ears.

[@lpsp442]

I think this is the best Metroid remix I've heard on here; there are some greats but this really captures the spirit of Metroid, of stoic nobility plunging into the heart of darkness.

[@katrinajagelski318]

that's a beautiful description

[@therealbahamut]

This is underappreciated.

[@loudmuch]

Oh wow, the baby metriod at the end nailed it. So well done. Thank you.

[@AxjZOne]

You know, usually I hate it when the real epicness of a song lets us wait 1 full minute, but I cant stop waiting for the "NOW ITS REAL METROID, F*** YEAH" most. epic. feeling. ever.

[@komikaiba]

I swear that this is my FAVORITE metroid OC Remix track. Might even be my favorite OC Remix piece ever (tie with tattered slippers from zelda...)!

[@Trollami]

So many new songs to play on Beat Hazard, and this will be one of them!

[@Mr63iron]

This is now what I play on my iPod whilst I play Super Metroid

[@DjRS80]

Samus all the way ! Epic track for an epic heroine.

[@skreeran]

Jesus, man. You are a god. You took a memorable 16-bit melody and made it into a masterpiece. I love how it's both a new piece, but it also fits the source material perfectly.

[@LargeRedRizla]

I've been replaying the first Metroid Prime and its due to this remix.

[@Dyrakro]

Fits perfectly to a Metroid movie in the opening sequence

[@MDLXL025]

last comments 2 months ago? Deserves 20 comments a day. Incredible. Listen to this too many times a day.

[@ErikDebawse]

My only quarrel is that it takes a whole minute to build up to the epic part xD But it's still absolutely *amazing!*

[@Zeeruss]

My head, it explodes with the absolute amazingness that is this song. I want to make a Metroid movie just so I can use this song.

[@etg7125]

Dude this remix is freaking amazing!!!!! drums and guitar and everything, especially the build up woooooOOOOOOO noise. 11/10

[@jim29180]

Brrr shivering when the first notes appears

[@Aureliants]

played super metroid when i was 5 (1995) along with many other excelent games. Best decade of my life, at least its better than the second, lol

[@benfox9382]

how's the third decade going?!

[@TheCreepypro]

BGC is amazing! this is just one of many great remixes he has!

[@Nintendan95]

Love the whole damn thing, sounds so sick, but my personal favourite part of this track has to be that guitar at 1:13 like come on man that sound sooo damn good

[@C12claws]

BGC does not fail.

[@Behindyou12]

Ahhh I Must Play Now Super Metroid... Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

[@svedenvaara]

Amazing! If there ever was a Metroid-movie on the big screen this should be playing at the opening credits.

[@YtseJam214]

This is what a Metroid soundtrack ought to sound like. It fits the feel of the game PERFECTLY.

[@TheStratovarian]

I love that one metroid at the end, very strong music, great tribute. There really needs another fan tribute for metroid again.

[@SNESKegaGamer]

Puttin this on my iPod right now

[@Vladislak]

Well damn! Nintendo should have composed something like this and gone on tour for Metroid's 25th birthday. Awesome stuff!

[@SohakmetGameplay]

Big Giant Circles has 2 of some of the bext Metroid remixes out there? Sweet.

[@Khelevandros]

DAMN this song got my blood pumping! Awesome remix and awesome tribute to the greatest Metroid game ever!

[@Luanna249]

Another grand remix from BGC and I must say I love the way this song was remixed too! It's soo full of power now with those strings and the background synthy sounds as well as that awesome E. Guitar! Metroid has always got the most remixes but they are the best imo from OCR! =]

[@VariaSweetGuardian]

Chills

[@calarakien]

THE LAST METROID IS IN CAPTIVITY THE GALAXY IS AT PEACE

[@alex51508]

BEAST.......

[@RockOnBuckethead]

I listened to 0:00 - 1:12 and thought... man this thing seems really hyped, but how good is it really going to be? stupid me

[@BlakDragon1]

Oh my goodness this ReMix. @_@ TFG. TFG! BGC knows his shit.

[@flemingbock]

Wow! Great remix! A definite favorite. Love how the intro motif returns at from 1:55 to 2:01. Great stuff!

[@FutonForensic]

Hey this sounds pre-- oh man OH MAN

[@McBoomPow]

OCremix definitely needs more exposure. I've been listening to the music that comes out of that website for years. More views!

[@VenatusX]

Still listening 12 years later?

[@McBoomPow]

@@VenatusX not recently. But every so often I need a fix, I circle back to the faves

[@deathstinger13]

this song == god

[@GTLargo21]

i find it funny how the OCR headset n' controller has the shape of a metroid. ◕‿‿◕

[@PurpleXVI]

Fuck yeah, BGC is always awesome.

[@vladpiranha]

@StreiBullet If I wasn't already engaged in a Starfox project, that would be my plan. That's why you get a thumbs up.

[@TheGreenManThom]

wow.....you can say what you want, I'll download this song^^ great work^^

[@geethamadhuri4.033]

awesome

[@PaulBosanova]

Brilliant!

[@BlackCurtainsFall]

Whoa. Who disliked this?! I am becoming a great fan of Big Giant Circles. I must look up the rest of his stuff...

[@TheVirtualBrothers]

I can't say I agree. Feels too agressive; Metroid is about the eerie feeling of being alone on a planet with only your wits to survive.

[@CooperPlaysGames]

YES

[@DuskusCB]

It was a reference to an infamous Miiverse post for Super Metroid...

[@LowenStrosst]

This is good.

[@Saidenz]

I'll be in my bunk...

[@GoreTorn16]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit! This is filthily! SICKKKKK

[@hoysandera2147]

The trailer music to Metroid Effect

[@Elyseon]

"I'm Commander Aran, and this is my favorite song on the CItadel."

[@Addicted2Pistachios]

*Listens to first five seconds.* Excuse me as I download this song.

[@Ky-Nas]

Oddly enough, this gets me in the mood for Metroid Prime than it does Super Metroid.

[@AverageTrainEnthusiast]

That's because the opening sequence of metroid prime uses its own remix of the same song this one is remixing.

[@metanightmare22]

@vurtualboy well I gave it a shot. :)

[@DeltaV0]

Apparently, the guy was a Mass Effect 2 Co-composer.

[@mangalink25]

I've always hated those comments. I mean yes, I am here because Extra Credits introduced me to this song, but I don't understand why people spout off such useless information so rabidly. Who cares why you're here?

[@DajuNkdnA]

this is velvety and a bit sexy

[@FinalHype]

I have to say that this signifies the Metroid feeling in a rough way. Why rough? Well, you can´t say that electric guitars makes a soft tone can you? Works perfectly fine since the game itself is pretty much the same. Rough and badass that is! =)

[@Lumin3k]

I's time to again kick some space pirate ass xD like opening from Metroid Prime =)

[@TheAssassin642]

Reminds me of the Killer Instinct soundtrack. But.. I can't figure out which one.

[@Sol_Protege]

@Addicted2Pistachios HAHAH dude same thing happened to me

[@SpookieD00kie]

Reallllly reminds me of the credits of Iron man for some reason.

[@HyperMario2010]

Thanks Vinesauce

[@combativeThinker]

This will be the opening music for the next installment in Samus' adventures: Super Metroid Prime!

[@ysmns9472]

that needs to happen now!

[@ysmns9472]

could someone please explain how super metroid is greater than the prime trilogy? i have never played it,but i only hear good things about it. so could someone describe,in detail, why it is so special.

[@combativeThinker]

Glassfleetfanatic Mangaisawesome! Some people were just butthurt about the transition to 3D and first person, while other people are blinded by nostalgia. Only a handful of people just prefer Super Metroid over Metroid Prime without any other biases. Now, as to why Super Metroid is so special, well...I could go on all day. First, the Metroid series was one of the first to have a strong female protagonist; second, people liked the exploration and puzzle solving of Super Metroid in addition to its upgrade system and platforming, something which was very unique at the time; third, the game was VERY atmospheric, and thus very memorable. The sense of isolation the game instilled you with made you feel as if you were actually on an unknown, hostile alien world with danger lurking around every turn-and no one to help you if something went wrong.

[@ysmns9472]

your comment is gone so i could not see the last part.

[@ysmns9472]

. sounds like almost every metroid game, they're all good!

[@Truttle]

I would post a long review that extols this song for the masterpiece that it is, but I'm only allowed five hundred characters for a comment. In the interest of keeping this short and sweet, allow me to post a single smiley which I hope will adequately convey my feelings regarding this mix. :3

[@ravagesavage10]

This music should definitely be in super smash bros 4.

[@sslipnutt]

Cause metroids can fly. If you're talking about samus, then she doesn't crawl cause she can turn into a ball, which works better.

[@ocremix]

You could just... try the link... :-D

[@maiwei]

Epic face, epic face, epic face, epic face, JIZZ IN MY PANTZ!

[@dshizzznit]

Prometheus should have been super metroid instead. Or at the end she jumps in a combat suit and travels to kill aliens I'm happy imagining that

[@metanightmare22]

Do you have a remix of Ridley's Battle theme in Super Metroid? If so, I would love to see it.

[@jango52577]

Metroid: A Film By James Cameron. Starring Jennifer Lawrence as Samus Aran. Anyone with me?

[@itsraininghavoc817]

Probably not Jennifer Lawrence, I think Gwendoline Christie would be better (She is exactly 6'3'' after all and she's an actress who's kind've established but not super obvious). Also, maybe make it the combined effort of Patty Jenkins (or another good female director), Ripley Scott, and James Cameron.

[@PhazonOmega]

Which one is the download link? The first one from the top down in the description?

[@Jayce_Alexander]

BRONIES EVERYWHERE

[@DuskusCB]

y cant metroid crawl?

[@soridosuneku]

Duskus Catball four years later.. lol

[@twilitfossilestallord4478]

Cause diz nuts won't let hirm

[@TheOnlyGBeast]

this sounds a lot like something from Other M....

[@ABetterBadger]

@RocmanRaz Stay off the drugs. ಠ_ಠ :D

[@vurtualboy]

@metanightmare22 I don't think they reply to their videos, why don't you actually watch the video they have, and go to ocremix.org like they recommend

[@RockOnBuckethead]

no.
