Phendrana Drifts (Metroid Prime) - GaMetal Remix

[@nanoknight1998]

I used to stay a while in phendrana just for the music

[@Lionheart-cr1fk]

Those were the days bro. I wanna go back. 😢

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

​@@Lionheart-cr1fkWe all do, mate. We all do...

[@Nickle_King]

Ditto.

[@MrRedBeard315]

I do this when i play the remake.

[@Lionheart-cr1fk]

@MrRedBeard315 not the same

[@blind3dbylight]

Everybody forgets Phendrana's Edge, but not our man Jonny Atma. You even remembered the somewhat quiet notes from a few parts in that track!

[@BlueEyes274]

Huh, you transitioned into the Depths section flawlessly while still keeping the main theme incorporated. Very nice.

[@IRONNEROZEROMAN]

Nice! Im glad someone else noticed that transition. Was smooth as ice.

[@ToxicxEternity]

hell yeah dude! happy holidays King 👑

[@avadoksorem2854]

The importance of Metroid Prime cannot be overstated. What a beautiful soundtrack and an equally beautiful remix. Thank you.

[@alvaroperez2349]

Can’t wait for Prime 4!

[@darkwalkervisiondominguez1691]

I little scare because the metroid prime 3 of wii is bad and lose the magic of prime saga And the new trailer of prime 4 don’t make me feel good

[@davidborne_1.0]

@@darkwalkervisiondominguez1691many people loved prime 2 and 3 tho

[@esmooth919]

​@@darkwalkervisiondominguez1691Prime 4 trailer looked pretty dang good to me! And if the same people who made Prime Remastered are working on this, then I'm here for it!

[@sansthedrummer]

​@@darkwalkervisiondominguez1691 While I respectfully disagree in saying Prime 3 was bad, I'm hesitant about 4 too. Games that have been in development hell for over a decade tend to be mediocre (Duke Nukem Forever).

[@sheakennedy-ordway1156]

You have no choice in the matter. The hype is fake and it always will be.

[@Tkdboy-gk1wk]

One of the best Metroid Prime themes!

[@louis-philippeaquin229]

This and torvus bog from prime 2

[@Fiddl3head]

Phendrana definitely has my vote for best music in the game, sure Tallon Depths and Magmoor Caverns are great too, but especially the theme when you're on your way to get the Gravity Suit is sublime. I'm glad you included it in the latter half of the cover!

[@formerctgovernordannelmall1452]

And including Magmoor Caverns for "best Prime Song" is kind of cheating, since its not an original composition for the game, its pretty much a 1:1 remake of a theme from Ridley's Lair in Super Metroid

[@Fiddl3head]

@@formerctgovernordannelmall1452 Yeah yeah Lower Norfair, but the Prime arrangement warrants some credit.

[@Mrperson0]

Hall of Elders/Ice Temple theme is really good, and laid the groundwork for the Chozo theme in the Metroid series as a whole.

[@louis-philippeaquin229]

The torvus bog theme from prime 2 is good too

[@0072.0]

I never really thought that Phendrana Drifts would work with heavy electric guitars. ...However, you most certainly pulled it off. You maintained the original vibes all while giving the song a new coat of paint! I can't wait for your next Metroid song whenever that may be!

[@koteynikoi-kotei9301]

It sure does work with heavy electric guitars. Stemage did a superb version. This one just surpassed it imo!

[@franciscosotovillegas4480]

Please, that will be Rundas Battle theme

[@Shmicah1235]

Your compositions are so tasteful, I adore the way you inject metal in with class rather than just mindlessly swapping every instrument with a stereotypical metal kit and calling it a day. Bravo!

[@twosoup3252]

This cover is an absolute dream come true for me; for me song IS Metroid Prime, maybe even the Metroid series as a whole. Your slower, more prog-rock covers are among my favorites, so this is a match made in heaven, and the fact that you included the second Phendrana theme is the cherry on top. You always kill it, but you went above and beyond this time. Thank you for this absolute gem, and rock on!! Can’t wait to see what Prime 4 brings us next year! EDIT: I JUST SAW WHAT THE NEXT SONG YOURE DOING IS, THIS END OF YEAR CELEBRATION HAS BEEN COOKING

[@Nerbatsu]

I use this theme to walk around during a snowy day. Not too many ppl out. The crunch of snow under your feet and the slushing sound of the occasional car passing by. Atmospheric.

[@Geneolgia]

A medley of both regular and depths versions of Phendrana? boy this is an early Christmas present, Phendrana Drifts is one of my favorite "ice levels" ever and the music plays a big part in that.

[@marcuselias4412]

2:10 has a very F-Zero X feel

[@longplayarchive]

Awesome choice!!

[@Sigmund_Froid]

Metroid Prime had such a unique atmosphere to it, and the musical style is sooo unique and interesting. Which makes Phenandra Drifts so interesting, because it both fits into the style and subverts it at the same time. Overall, it's just such good track for this game. This is a great Remix, it covers this atmosphere incredibly well. This is sick!

[@KazeMemaryu]

Kenji Yamamoto did such incredible work with the Prime games in particular. To this day, I regard this soundtrack as the best of all time. And this rendition was amazing, Jonny! With the game footage showing the path to the Phendrana Labs, I half-expected you to transition into the Space Pirate theme or Thardus, but the holdover into the Deep Phendrana theme was damn smooth!

[@EpicPrawn]

0:00 oh I hope he shreds that piano arpeggio part 1:35 LET'S GO 4:37 LET'S GOOOOO

[@hotbread3241]

I used to doze off while my dad played Metroid Prime when I was a kid, I love cold icy places and this is the coldest song I can think of! Keep up the great work!!!! 💙💙💙

[@jeredyncross]

The seamless transition into the Phendrana Depths theme is beyond 🔥

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Probably one of the most underrated songs in Metroid Prime! Stellar work, happy holidays man! ❄️

[@DarkZerav]

That shredding is a whole chorus echoing through the drifts and into the depths.

[@rezahydra]

Okay Johnny, so you just decided to go from arguably the best Metroid Prime song, all the way to The Almighty to cap off the year with, I see you out here wildin’ XD

[@Zaveghunter]

This cover is so unbelievably good. Easily one of my favorites ever. Hearing this cover makes me want to hear you cover moonsong from cave story now.

[@cjt217]

My goodness, the DEPTHS that this man goes to provide great covers is unmatched+

[@chaosangel42]

Yesss this belongs up there right next to the Stemage one. Plus man the Phendrana's Edge goes so hard 15/10 composition

[@nintendo-nut1]

Easily skyrocketed up to one of my fav covers of the year from you. The vibes are immaculate, and the bassline is sublime and divine. I was so so so excited to hear your take on this and I couldn't be happier with it.

[@sirmetaknight1]

Jonny never disappoints with his covers!

[@themothreborn]

The more i listen to this the more i think its one of ur best covers of all time Metroid Prime's score is a terrifying subject for rearrangement because the original is already so perfect, like, what do you even Do with it, ykno? The fact that u managed to pull it off with arguably its most iconic original track And make it ur own has to b acknowledged as a Career Highlight, right? Astounding work

[@FlanFanClub-oz5hc]

This was the first time I listened to a metal cover of this song and this did not disappoint! Also it was really nice to include Phendrana’s Edge it sounded amazing!

[@xenoguy1233]

Absolutely wonderful rendition. Phendrana’s always been my favorite locale on Tallon IV, and the music is a big reason why. Hearing your artistic touch on the track so close to my heart is just magical. It reminds me a bit of Risk of Rain, which is fantastic. Thank you, Jonny.

[@spartanhawk7637]

Just in time for my Starfinder group to explore an ice planet.

[@highmax21xx]

Absolutely incredible! This officially one of my favorite tracks from you, this track is amazing from the game! Keep up the amazing work as always!! 😎

[@CarissaNomadic]

Take one of the best Prime themes, pull off giving it a new energy without ruining it, AND the nice touch of the elevator when the music's on the way out? So much love goes into these remixes.

[@michaelpietri9471]

I played prime for the first time this year; it's safe to say that the music will stick with me for years

[@jamesmendonca2900]

Awesome remix, as always.I like how it starts off soothing and then explodes with drums and guitar second. This would make a great alternative Christmas track.

[@whereismrclean6783]

While not my most wanted Winter song this year, I can't deny that Phendrana Drifts is a real banger! In particular, your remix really made it shine! The calm opening transitioned really well into the main guitar part, and that transition from the normal theme to Depths was really well done! Also, that solo in the Depths part? Ugh, it's to die for. You nailed this one, Jonny, and next time... is probably gonna be The Fog, but if it's The Almighty, I would ascend to heaven. Requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Pink Ball Activate!

[@TrashLordOscar]

Phendrana is one of my main points when I tell people that Ice Biomes have the coolest music in any Video Game. This track is one of the best ones especially the back end of Phendrana

[@franciscosotovillegas4480]

This is so epic and beautiful!😊 And the two versions of Phendrana? Awesome!

[@astralshadow6193]

Yo, we got Phendrana Drifts from GaMetal in 2024! What a blessed Christmas!

[@iris1568]

This is amazing. I've been listening to Phendrana Drifts on the Nintendo music app lately. Added it in my Winter playlist. I became really happy when I saw a notification that you just uploaded this, amazing timing 😊

[@ezra6490]

HELL YES I LOVE IT!! I love your remixes, I’ve been wondering how you’ve learned to play all of these instruments; I want to do exactly what you do. Amazing work ❤❤ Also I have that same Metroid shirt🔥

[@AwesomeRobo99]

The progression on this is amazing. Thank you for covering one of the best Metroid tracks Jonny!

[@UltraNurture]

One of my favorite songs in all of gaming right here. Excellent job on this remix GaMetal!

[@BlueTyphoon7]

Bro, I'm sad I didn't get to see this when it first came out. I think this might be your best cover yet, you killed it dude!

[@Blues2Dark]

Loving this cover! I had just finished this game, not too long ago, you got me wanting to play it again, outstanding job on this!👍👍👍👍👍

[@arthurpprado]

This is an amazing Christmas gift. Thank you

[@SlimReaper04]

Huuuuge, another Metroid Prime music!! I never expected this, childhood memories

[@blue_ronado]

I was just listening to this song a few days ago. You have impeccable timing, and I'm not complaining in the slightest

[@matthewbankey5547]

It’s awesome to see Metroid music gem more love on this channel!

[@SharkXOmega]

This was always one of my favorite all time pieces of video game music. Right up there with Stickerbush Symphony. But this one was ALWAYS neglected by everyone. So glad to hear someone FINALLY giving it some attention and doing a great job at it.

[@theargawalathing]

Once the drums kick in, it really has that feeling from Halo 2 with the soft choir. Heavenly cover

[@kyo3290]

yesssss i knew it was gonna be phendrana drifts one of my favorite tracks from Metroid Prime

[@alexemp6201]

This was AMAZING. It reminded me a lot of your cover for Misty Rain (megaman ZX) but I'd say this one's even better. As someone who never played metroid, I could still feel an air of mistery and danger, but also the beauty of a snowy environment. This is one of the best remixes you made this year for sure. Thanks as always man, I hope you're having fantastic holidays

[@lemonadogirl4082]

The first few seconds of this cover broke down my door and informed me politely yet firmly that the original track would be added to my work playlist on Nintendo Music. Phendrana's got such a nice vibe, I think I'll just keep Drifting towards the eventual cover of Faith Is For The Transient People.

[@Randomii666]

Hell yeah! The best christmas gift i could had asked for!

[@AvarikVonNom]

What a beautiful and chill cover, thank you for this Jonny! :D

[@n1fffan]

oh man, you have truly captured the beauty and atmosphere in this cover. holy cow dude!

[@WhiteChi]

Bin nicht so der Metal oder Rock Fan aber ja das klingt doch schon sehr nice. 😮😊

[@johnnydaugherty11]

Love your channel and this cover. Whenever I say your channel’s name in my head or out loud it’s gaymetal.

[@Nightmare26]

This is a great rendition! Outstanding job. Grant (Metroid Metal)'s is also great and by now it's just nostalgic for me.

[@GHNerland]

Metroid Metal is the straight-up metal cover version while Tommy goes ALL OUT with the effects to make it magical AND includes the Depths segment to boot? Both are great in their own ways and even the little sneaky Crashed Frigate outro here too. Now I'd want Tommy to do a whole cover of Crashed Frigate 😂

[@BP-bq9uz]

im gonna pretend this came out about 20 hours later so i can say this dropped on my birthday

[@SpookieD00kie]

Hey happy birthday dude in like 4 hours

[@lynnprater9923]

This song gave me the good kind of chills when I was a kid, I absolutely love this song!

[@Coreeno]

I know Metroid thrives off its own unique musical identity but ohmygod this alone has got me itching for at least one whole Metroid game with a metal ost

[@SomeDemoMain]

Ah, Phendrana. A good ice area AND a good underwater area in one.

[@Zerethos]

This was the coolest (pun intended) cover of one of my favourite songs in Metroid Prime!

[@foobarjackson4513]

Marvelous! Wonderful! Beyond words! Thank you for this masterpiece. Phendrana is one of my favorite songs amongst all of Metroid's amazing music

[@MrArk1265]

I feel like this was my sign from the universe to replay Metroid Prime lmao

[@evanguard89]

OMG Thank you, this is one of if not my absoulute favorite tracks in Prime. 10/10 Love it

[@whokodthelonghorn]

I'm SO ready for I'll Face Myself (or whatever other P4 song you're doing)!

[@Darkaileron]

You're the master, bud. Your arrangements are always out of this world!

[@pauseandeffectyt]

Incredible cover! You really captured the beauty of two of the greatest songs in gaming history and worked wonders with them! Loved every second, keep up the good work!

[@baritOWN]

Thank God Tommy Tallarico worked personally and held hands with Shigeru Miyamoto to create this masterpiece! Mother Brain is very proud!

[@av3nger3]

Kenji Yamamoto

[@Typh98]

Both sections are included in this remix, awesome! The original track stood out so much to me when I first played MP1. I'm glad it finally got a remix.

[@kenhisuag]

Listened through the Metroid Prime soundtrack for the first time earlier this year, and it was so satisfying to actually recognize the motifs in this arrangement!

[@yonnel9571]

Amazing cover, this one hits sooo hard! Awesome work! Truly! I can't compliment you enough!

[@SionC42]

This is one of my childhood games and I must say you killed it with this remix. It‘s immaculate! One of my favourite remixes that I‘ve heard of you

[@AgentIllusion73]

Okay this is perfect for the holidays! You wouldn't believe just how much I enjoy Metroid Prime's music - this in particular.

[@r.f.switch5847]

Man, I really gotta finish the remaster. I was at the final boss when I stopped

[@endalore9640]

This was always my favorite song in Prime. It was so melancholic. It felt lonely but peaceful. You definitely still captured that in your remix. Great job 🤘

[@Rubberman202]

It may be cold outside, but this remix is fire!🔥

[@emidemi7211]

I wasn't expecting this to work but it absolutely does. It's so peak. SO peak.

[@SuperBabyMario]

I finished playing through Prime 1 for the first time a couple months ago, and this was easily one (or two, I suppose) of my favourite songs in the game. This rendition was incredible, thank you so much for the love you always put into your videos! Edit: THE ACOUSTIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL THOOOOOO

[@kirbyx2573]

Oh man Phendrana Drifts is such a great track. Didn't know I needed a cover from Jonny untill I heared it. Thank you so much man, and happy holidays/christmas you all!

[@Mr.Lunafish]

As much as I loved Dread, I feel the music was sorely lacking throughout much of it especially when compared to themes like Phendrana Drifts, Magmoor Caverns, Tallon Overworld, and Torvus Bog. Prime music just hits different. Fantastic cover. Didn't think I'd find one I enjoyed as much as the one from Stemage. Tip of the hat to you, sir

[@imptwins]

Yeahhhh, Dread was a game with really high highs, but definitely low lows too. Music was decidedly mid for the franchise and a couple too many This One Lets You Break The Yellow Blocks upgrades.

[@SparkyLurkdragon]

Having Drifts Depths in there elevates this from great to fantastic!

[@Kaadri]

One of my all time favorites!!!

[@Pkhemi]

Could you do Tapion's theme sometime in the future?

[@GregFeir]

Nailed the winter timing on this release, just what I was craving.... Thank you GaMetal!

[@Nintendude.]

Wow, I don't remember the last time I liked a video before watching it, a bunch of rock covers of calm videogame music has been showing up as of late. I like to call it soft rock and I am here for it. This is so cool.
