Prince of Persia Meets Metal

[@TrueGamer181]

Most people think Metal is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have heard the sound of Metal, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Metal is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am or why I say this. Sit down and I will play you a song like none you have ever heard

lol XD

[@StuartChatwood]

+331Erock Thanks for covering my soundtrack. I am honoured that the 4 songs you chose were my compositions! Great work...

[@Baen666]

You sir made huge part of my childhood as PoP: TSoT is the very first game I've ever played. I listen to these tunes on Spotify even a decade after the end of the original PoP trilogy to remember some amazing moments. Ubisoft needs to realise how much is PoP beloved, take a break from Assassin's Creed and make a new PoP game, returning to it's roots - the original trilogy. With you returning for another amazing OST!

[@elyad67]

Oh God no way! You probably made the best Game Soundtrack in my opinion and trust me I have a big library of game soundtracks, I remember listening to your amazing compositions a long time ago and listening to this amazing cover by 331erock explains why your OST was an piece of art!

[@NightDweller]

sir, you are epic. Time only knows was one of the first songs that gave me the chills and shook me all over.. it still does. thank you sir for making epic music

[@Salihli4545]

+Stuart Chatwood Thanks for a great childhood

[@pyroblaster2476]

Your music got me into rock. I can't thank you enough for it! When I got my guitar, your soundtracks were the first songs i learned. Hopefully, the next pop in the series has you in the team

[@Triforcefilms]

Used the power of the Sands to rewind and listen one more time!

[@elyad67]

Nice one xD

[@wojszach4443]

[@GMPStudios]

Well I used the eye of the Strom to enjoy it thoroughly

[@oscarluisaguilera4521]

Jajajajaja el mejor comentario!

[@AlastorCreations]

Prince of Persia Warrior Within is already quite metal :D

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

That was what Ubisoft was going for - Cranking up the angst to 11.

[@DoubleCGamesStudios]

Alastor Strix'Efuartus Warrior Within IS metal. The others maybe not so much, but great part of WW soundtrack is metal with oriental infusions.

[@tharrock337]

Guys, search for Myrath on youtube. If they ever make a POP game again they got to hire them for the soundtrack.

[@chastous]

@@tharrock337 Orphaned Land is also awesome.

[@tharrock337]

@@chastous Didn't know them, thanks, Chains Fall to Gravity is awesome!

[@Thorden]

Warrior Within was so fuckin good, god dammit give me a HD remake on PC

[@sergiucosciug6792]

Altairogue Warrior Within was already pretty metal :), but still I would totally play a HD remake for PC

[@GUCFan]

Altairogue Whatever you do stay away from the HD collection on consoles, they are not in HD. Ubi merely ported and slapped on a widescreen hack before releasing those on console, graphically it looks like the PC versions and the cinematics are still in 4:3

[@Thorden]

Sergiu Cosciug yeah, I still listen to its OST after all those years

[@THGhost1337]

emmanu888 Plus the fact that Warrior Within is plagued with game breaking bugs on the HD collection.

[@3dmarth]

***** It was plagued with game breaking bugs to begin with.* Did they add more? *During my playthrough, I got stuck and had to reset twice, and the game outright crashed at least that many times. GCN version, by the way, although the other versions are probably identical.

[@mortivoe]

warrior within has the best gaming soundtrack ever

[@blackmondayy1]

Agree ... it is also the best game ever !!!

[@francescosolfrizzi7563]

Time, alone we bide our time Never will we know if our love is true At night i sleep and dream of you Only to awake in my empty room

[@Kroitk]

OHHHH MY GOD! The nostalgia is SO REAL! I remember these tunes by heart from so many years ago and I love them to no end! Eric you did these songs SO MUCH JUSTICE! THANKS DUDE THIS WAS AMAZING!

[@paulbadman8509]

Moreover - PP1&2 (sands of time and another one, with Dahaka) are still better than most of today's games. Dammit Erock, you made me look for my old PC disk to play.

[@lilpenguin092]

Nikita Karelins the game with the Dahaka is The Warrior Within

[@Kroitk]

Nikita Karelins You bet your ass they're better than most games today. The story was amazing, the voices and characters were awesome, and the soundtrack was PERFECT. Even though Warrior Within was dark and edgy compared to the arabian vibes of the first, it was still a great game with the Dahaka always giving you heart attacks in those chases. Two Thrones was good but it felt like it fell short of the original two. The newer Prince of Persia for the PS3 was so different it might've as well be a completely different game. I started it and never finished.

[@paulbadman8509]

Kroitk Absolutely agreed.

[@mrThorleifsen]

Prince of Persia > Assassin's Creed

[@freakycookie101]

***** fallout 4 > princess of persia > ass creed

[@mrThorleifsen]

freakycookie101 Fallout 4 haven't been released yet.

[@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்]

***** Dogshit > Assassins creed

[@kunallalwani2900]

You are goddamn right

[@KingOfHell94]

***** i dont even like AC but those games are not really same type to compare them lol

[@JeFi2]

I wonder if they'll ever release a good Prince of Persia game again. Great work as always!

[@jakubturlinski7159]

331Erock you've proven yourself worthy as an inspiring composer not the architect of your own destruction. What is written in the timeline cannot be changed, but metal gave you a second chance. You have enhanced the original with your shredding and not spoiled the theme. Rock our casbah! \m/

[@VayneBot]

Holy shit my jaw dropped when i saw the title of this video, I instantly knew it was gonna be a fkin good one. Good Job Erock you always seem to kick ass in every video!

[@Nocturnal9720]

Blizzard meets Metal! (Blizzard Entertainment AKA World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo)

[@XNecroEyesX]

Nah one big for each game would hardly be enough... but imagin a 10 min vid WoW meets metal 😁

[@Nocturnal9720]

XNecroEyesX Just a 6-7 minute vid with some favourite songs from each universe would suffice

[@thecreator625]

XNecroEyesX Because Mootallica.

[@alexandrtenevoy581]

Diablo is atmosferic metal in a few melodies.

[@darksouleditz]

That Welcome Within sound gave me chills!!!!

[@AskMeddi]

No words to describe the amount of awesomeness of this!! BTW PERSIA FOR EVER!!!!!!!!

[@EposVox]

YAS! Sands of Time was an epic game.

[@GMPStudios]

You mean Warrior Within?

[@GMPranav]

You mean T2T?

[@debozebuurman]

ALL OF THEM

[@danielbartlett8880]

All the games are fucking masterpiece. And no one changes it

[@keeperoflenneth]

Duuuuuuude, this kicked at least 37% more ass than usual. Well freaking done man.

[@MEHDIZed3D]

Lets not forget to a very special thanks to Stewart Chatwood for composing these musics

[@josiahstowe4213]

Perhaps a "Stargate themes meet metal" in the future?

[@Dzann88]

Holy shit that's an epic idea!

[@jediknightnamek]

[@CinnamonCanine]

this is truly beautiful. a brilliant cover of time only knows!

[@CelticAkumathefirst]

Awesome! Please do Fable meets metal!!

[@Nepururin]

Marco Rella Cool idea. The Lost Chapters has best music in my opinion :)

[@CelticAkumathefirst]

Mariusz Witkowski lost chaptets is the best Fable

[@A1998GatewayPC]

Yes please!!!

[@Rellik428]

Marco Rella The Oakvale theme just hits me with pure nostalgia

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

Marco Rella he should only do fable 1 and 2 fable 3 was complete dogshit and the rest of the fable games are much worse. the one theme that hits me with pure nostalgia is the oakvale theme =)

[@Odyn666]

Can you make the Witcher meet metal.

[@bernardrednix756]

PeloPL damn, i wanted to suggest that

[@TheFinalOverdrive]

Requesting: Prince of Persia Meets Metal Part 2 - Warrior Within and Part 3 - The Two Thrones while you're at it ;) amazing as always!

Prince of persia on PS2 I will never forgive

[@SneakyJoeRu]

But it was metal already... :-/

[@Sonicgott]

You can never have enough metal!

[@HeadbangMushroom]

Prince of Persia on PS2 back in the day was amazing!

[@ivanmascot]

The second one is called "Welcome Within". Regardless, i really enjoyed the covers and the video, dude. Keep it up! Instantly recognizable melodies. "Just saying the phrase "Prince of Persia" brings back so many memories". And this is so true :)

[@andrewlevensky1155]

The Green Lantern sticker messing with the chroma key was actually a pretty cool effect. Also, kick-ass, as always

[@tiagogodlike]

I've been following your videos for quite a while now, just now commenting! Dude, this is just amazing on every single aspect, but you topped everything on that Warrior Within part. Jesus, so much awesome! Keep being amazing!

[@DarkElfFemale]

Wonderful work. Wants that Prince of Persia: Warrior Within be better, but it was like was... But the most great coming the "Wellcome to Persia" and the "Prince of Persia: Time only knows" - Great work! :)

Banjo Kazooie meets Metal, please!

[@oberongypsy]

Power Glove meets metal. Turn some synthwave into some face melting awesomeness.

[@paulbadman8509]

My mind won't handle such an epic thing.

[@oberongypsy]

It would be a fusion of titanic proportions. Heavily badass.

[@DjVolumeUp200]

I know this is a year old,but check out Dance with the Dead's new album B-Sides:Vol 1.The first track "Get Out" is a straight up metal song

[@oberongypsy]

I love DWtD I'm checking now.

[@engelthorn]

DUDE!! one of the best covers you've done ever man :D

[@KrustelLP]

I have to say, you've really gotten better over the years. As I began watching you, most of your songs sounded very similar using the same techniques over and over (no offense. I couldn't do those techniques) showing of how you could do them basically spamming the song with notes but forgetting that music is also about the brakes between the notes. I feel that this recently got a lot better (even though I don't watch that much of your videos since they are about stuff i didn't read/watch mostly) and I enjoy your music much more now.

[@BeoMalone]

you are still rocking it hard man, keep up the epic work, ill keep spreading your name to all my metal friends as usual, just keep hard at work.

[@angrycrusader3926]

ALL HAIL Erock!!!! THE PRINCE OF METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wingedsword93]

This is amazing! Brings back so many childhood memories of when I played that game over and over.

[@jonausherman5751]

That moment when your phone has a notification, and it's all 331Erock uploaded a video, and I'm all "OH SNAAAAAP!!" *rushes to KZbin*

[@Zephyr_Weiss]

[@techieanant]

That was incredible, especially the part where you play Time Only Knows at 3:24. Brings back a lot of memories.

[@iiiSnake]

Oh the Warrior Within menu theme song, I still remember it played during the installation too. The FEELS, soundtracks in that game were amazing and I still listem to them to this day.

[@playazz99]

i have no idea what this is but it's my favorite theme ever now XD and you played it perfectly and my favorite of ur meet metals also awesome green lantern sticker on the white guitar :)

[@fuzzyquils]

I am surprised you haven't included the forgotten sands on that list! :D Ah well, that was the only one I played. (It was the most kick-ass use for my DS touchscreen, I can tell you!)

[@PaulVardaris]

This was epic! Excellent use of pacing and flow and theme. I immediately went to Sting's "Desert Rose" and tried to Cheb Mami in your work. Thank you, Eric. On another note, I just noticed Origa (Olga Vitalevna Yakovleva) passed away in January this year. Her work with Yoko Kanno on the song "Inner Universe" for Ghost in the Shell wrapped my soul in cybernetic bliss, sadness and wonder for years and still does. Would you be willing to work on"Inner Universe"? As difficult to work with something so beautiful as that one, I think a tribute would be wonderful. I already can hear your shreds and soaring solos putting the "Punk" back into "Cyberpunk". ... no pressure, haha... Thanks and keep rocking the metal forever! -Paul V

[@eventsmorewithchrisg]

For those that recall seeing the walkthrough for the original P.O.P. as a wiki, there's the part where the guy writes in "You're in the land of Heavy metal". ( its where you meet the S & M looking baddies in the game who get remade for Warrior Within) After listening to this, I can't get that walkthrough quote out of my head!! Lol!!

[@harukabo2332]

I was actually played Prince Of Persia - Sand of time 3 hours ago !!! Thats so cool you do a metal cover. Go back to game! You're so cool I love you and keep making great music !
