The album brings back the involvement of longtime collaborators, with arrangements by David Peacock and Theophany, additional orchestration by REVEN, and performances by the Sofia Session Orchestra, ETHEReal String Orchestra, and percussionist Larry Salzman.

1. Phazon
2. Samus Aran
3. Tallon IV Overworld

"Our research teams have isolated the energy conduits that run from the invasive twin mandibles to the energy core in the creature's quadripartite nucleus, but the manner in which a Metroid actually extracts the life force from its prey remains an utter mystery. The victim does not lose blood or any other vital fluids, and yet the Metroid extracts energy; identifying this energy is our central problem. It takes no physical form, and yet without it, the victim dies."

My wedding is tomorrow. Thank you for this gift

[@RozenDJ]

Congratulations~ have the most special day tomorrow

[@XbladedGG]

just wanted to say happy early anniversary!

[@Kinan.Eldari]

I know Rozen always delivers, but damn that Tallon IV Overworld theme 😁

[@scifisyko]

It’s one of my absolute favorite tracks in the whole series and it bums me out so hard that the theme changes later on in the game and never switches back. SO happy to see it get this kind of love from Rozen, I’m over the damn moon listening to it haha

[@vrishnak92]

@@scifisyko that being said, I am very curious as to how he would arrange the second version of the Tallon overworld theme, as it was one of my favorites from the first game

[@link8893]

Hey Rozen, you make incredible and moving renovations to all of our favorite music! I love your interpretations and I listen to them constantly! Thanks so much for creating this and your many other works! Really! Thank you!

[@RozenDJ]

Thank you for the very kind words! 🙏

@@RozenDJ Those are rare from Link.

[@samy29987]

The Tallon Overworld arrangement, with the piano, the strings, the choir, the horns, the famous whistle, the grandeur and the awe-inspiring feel of the track was just..... Mesmerizing!!

[@SephirothRyu]

Look at me. You are the Metroid now. Look at me. LOOK AT ME. YOU, are the METROID, NOW!

[@Skarletbun]

Thank you for this, Rozen. It sounds absolutely stunning and this genuinely means a lot to someone who grew up with Metroid Prime.

[@cyntalli8850]

Sweet baby chozo, that lower brinstar melody gets me every damn time. Outstanding album man, masterpiece from start to finish!

[@j.p.obregon1415]

Exactly. There is something about that one particular melody. No matter what version of it I hear, it just gets me

[@swampert564]

This is slick as hell. Tallon Overworld is absolutely gorgeous. I've always loved the version that only plays early in the game. It always feels wonderfully mysterious and awe-inspiring, like stepping foot on a new world. Its always nice to hear Kraid's Lair get some love, easily one of the best tracks to come out of the NES era. I really hope the big guy is in Prime 4, I know he was just in Dread but it would still be cool.

[@RozenDJ]

Tallon Overworld is one of my favorites from the game

[@scifisyko]

@@RozenDJ I always thought I was the only one, haha - so totally captures the grandeur and mystique of exploration and discovery that often gets overlooked in the rest of the series’ most popular music, but the Tallon IV theme really just gives you the feel that every so often Samus takes just a few moments to pause and appreciate what she’s seeing. …which sucks a little cause usually by the end of the game the planet she’s on is exploding, but you can’t win ‘em all I guess :p

[@ianlarsen3920]

First I found out about a new album from Thomas Bergersen AND THEN a new album from Rozen?! Two releases from two of my favorite artists in the same day?! This is a good day for music!!! I'm loving this album! Rozen, you never cease to amaze me!

[@Masamoone]

Rozen's Music helped me a lot through life, especially killing time during work.

[@gameover40567]

This is absolutely amazing!! You make some of the best game covers I've ever heard! Thank you. Thank you so much!

[@emanuelsama6397]

this is a master piece.

[@b0rgerRAMMY]

Oh lawd Magmoor Caverns just hits so different, so goooood

[@linksmith4923]

This is amazing! You gotta make a part 2 of this album! I need more Metroid!

[@Raclex13]

Your Lower Brinstar mix is by far the best song on this album. The instrument selection was soooo soothing, and the eighth note pumping to keep the beet moving forward, was beautiful

[@chipman1589]

Metroid has my favorite space music (and deep rock galactic) I always love to hear it and see others giving it some love

[@VirusL4D]

My favorite GameCube title getting an extraordinary reimagining of the soundtrack. Simply phenomenal work as always, Rozen! Thank you for this

[@gustavosalasviveros290]

This is amazing the magmoor cavers blow my mind. Im from the old school gamer and this music esta muy chingona

[@Phazen]

love the metroid prime boss for the artwork, gonna set aside some time to listen to this in full later!!

[@variaproject]

well now this is NEAT

[@carlosmeza1967]

Such an amazing work! I can"t help but imagine how Metroid Prime 2 and 3 songs would sound on this style, or even some more of Super Metroid. Congrats!

[@Knurlurzhad]

I knew this album would be killer on announcement and HERE WE ARE BABYYYYYYYY Absolute 10/10

[@NightZ3r0]

'Metroid Prime' @29:08 is a slapper 🔥🔥🙌🔥🔥

[@emmadouglas5768]

Every track gets me so pumped, this is awesome! thank you so much Mr. ROZEN!👍💛

absolutely amazing!! I got lost in this composition on a fun little trip. thanks so much for the beautiful music again Rozen!!

[@Momoterasu]

Je reviens tous les jours ici c'est tellement incroyable, vive Metroid

[@Malkierian]

Was very glad to hear that you didn't use up all the best stuff in this video and saved some good ones for the bonus content in the Digital Deluxe. As a huge Metroid fan, two huge thumbs up! Definitely worth the purchase. It's been a while since the goosebumps hit this hard.

[@RozenDJ]

Thank you so much for supporting the Deluxe Edition! It really helps with production costs 🥹

[@soupandthunder6018]

An absolute masterpiece of composition and an amazing homage to my favorite game and music. It's fantastic composers like you that inspired me to begin my own musical journey of tributing the video games that shaped my childhood with remixes. Thank you for this.

[@Squiddon64]

This Is Requiem, jokes aside, as an incredibly enthusiastic metroid fanatic, these song remakes perfectly capture the essence of my nostalgia. Like, they make me just want to make a metroid campaign in DnD lmao.

[@zappcry]

Absolute Masterpiece!

[@Mario-ij7bl]

Hey man, love your work, always have. It's just that epic, glorious, beautiful, and overall high-quality stuff that never gets old. Especially your Zelda stuff, which unironically is one of my most listened pieces I have ever heard. Though, I have always wondered if you wanted to make Mario Galaxy stuff if possible, cause your version would interest me very much. But anyway, your work is very inspiring and helps me a lot. Greetings

Beautiful!! ❤🎉

[@smallesttaz4518]

This is extraordinary! It feels like a live performance from a symphony.

[@JorbyTinky]

Metroid is so fucking cool it has 2 themes. Phazon (Metroid Title Theme) and Samus Aran (Samus Aran's Theme) are so iconic, and you pulled off these covers so well by honoring the original compositions while still throwing in your own flavors.

[@frannydai]

Great production on this. Tallon IV Overworld is 👌. The elegant piano, the subtle vocals, the theremin-like synths.. so good! I really hope you work with music professionally--you definitely have the skill for it.

[@NaviGooseOfTheSmol]

Just the right amount of synth and orchestration👌. I wished there were more Metroid reorchestrations out there.

[@KnightXeran]

This is really good 👍

[@Andyy_broo]

It's fantastic! 😍

[@64bitcrafts]

Fantastic composition. It's going to be the first in a while since Metroid Metal's Varia Suite that I'll have to go out of my way to ad to my library.

So crazy dude...

2 minutes........2 minutes in and I immediately went searching for your stuff on IHeartRadio XD

[@trevorromein14]

1 full album later, and I'm glad I searched you up on IHeart, cause DAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNN.......Meta Ridley gave me chills in the best way possible, not to discredit the rest of the album. The WHOLE thing was sublime!

[@Kid_illithid]

Damn just get this guy when they make a Metroid movie 😯 this was awesome

[@abyssal-labs]

The first track is how I imagine Metroid prime 4 starting screen music to sound 💪
