Sylux Battle (Metroid Prime Hunters) - Orchestral Arrangement v2

METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND IS REAL! I had to celebrate somehow after the trailer dropped so I dug up my old Sylux cover and made it more orchestral sounding as opposed to the orchestral rock vibes it had before. I took a couple creative liberties with a key change to break up the reptitiveness of the original song and putting in the music from the Prime 4 trailer where Sylux appears, but I'm super happy with how it turned out!

This one goes Beyond

[@Quackra]

I see what you did there

[@juanqarlos94]

Goddammit that was clever

[@DenisCreatorBreaker]

I can hear the Echoes of everyone laughing at this joke

[@MWilmott]

Here’s hoping the other Hunters appear in Metroid Prime 4 alongside Sylux. Noxus was always my personal favorite.

[@lucasfraczek4320]

I hope we see Noxus and Spire team up with Samus against Sylux and a few other evil Bounty Hunters, like Trace, Weavil, and/or Kanden.

[@N3v3Off]

To be honest, every one of them have solid reason to appear. Except maybe Spire. Trace, Weavel and Kanden would definitely be out for revenge. And Noxus, being zealous peacekeeper, would want to stop Sylux.

[@lucasfraczek4320]

@@N3v3Off I can see Spire showing up if only because of him wanting to do good and help Samus than solely be out on a job.

[@N3v3Off]

@@lucasfraczek4320 True, I wouldn't say it is impossible for Spire to be there, just unlikely. Even as a bounty hunter his main goal is uncovering past of his species first. So for his goal to end up in the same place as events of Prime 4 would be a big coincidence. Or, if other hunters are there, then fate.

[@cireoath336]

@@N3v3Off I can see Samus fighting the other bounty hunters one vs one in their introduction and next encounters, until near the end they cooperate to defeat Samus together, making the fight difficult. Except Noxus and Spire, but they could come in as back up to help Samus to make the fight even. If they include them in Prime 4, they should let the players have the ability to control them too from their perspectives.

[@DerangedGodOfMischief]

It would be incredibly funny if Retro's way to deal with 18 years of speculation on who or what Sylux is by answering literally nothing about him and then continuing to do this for the entire second trilogy, not even killing him off or redeeming him or even explaining what he's trying to accomplish. He just becomes that completely inexplicable guy who does unknowable things for incomprehensible reasons. More seriously: I hope they never kill him off. Metroid needs more reoccurring secondary characters who aren't disposed of after their arc besides Ridley.

[@carljohansson3512]

I mean not every needs a redemption or should have a redemption, it entirely depends on who the character is, what their appeal is and their fundamental purpose and inspiration as a whole.

[@DerangedGodOfMischief]

@@carljohansson3512 I am making a joke dude.

[@carljohansson3512]

@@DerangedGodOfMischief i know. I just think people obsess too much about redemption arcs which for Sylux depends on who he turns out to be from the little we currently know about him.

[@radladstudios]

In addition to Sylux, I hope to see Weavel again. Out of the Hunters, he was the only one who had a past with Samus and it would be sick to see him team up with Sylux in an attempt to finally exact his revenge. Plus he's a badass Cyborg Space Pirate, hard to go wrong with that concept

[@XParasiteOctoling]

Better yet, leave him alive for a sylux spin-off game

[@lennyfais5040]

This is the best Sylux theme I have ever heard… Dude, your Metroid content never ceases to amaze, you made Sylux the final boss! Keep it up, man!

[@mkcstealth7624]

If Sylux is leading the Pirates I hope Weavel shows up again

[@jangofett1172]

I really hope he is the final boss in 4

Hallux reflux! It's Hunter Sylux! Edit: HE DID THE ELECTRIC GUITAR !!!!

[@Ver.3gA-06]

They better bring his og theme back for this game lol (doesn't have to be one to one, like how meta ridley's theme is an altered version of his og one)

[@XParasiteOctoling]

Metroid Prime Hunters Remake when?

[@NiNja10Doh]

I don't know how to explain it but Sylux's theme sounds so menacing. Almost like something you'll hear from a situation that chance of survival is 0%. Like how in every Metroid game, you have to run from the exploding planet. It's intense and has you on the edge of your seat. All I can say is Metroid Prime 4 is going to be incredible.

[@soupandthunder6018]

My brain may be tricking me into thinking the choral parts say Sylux at some points. Even if just pseudo words, the choirs are an awesome touch. Ya had no business going that hard for the phase 2 part.

[@studhouser6969]

Dude, watching your improvement over the years has been awesome. You're so good at what you do. Love the inclusion of the theme from the trailer.

[@naida4770]

I admire your skill in creating such an orchestral arrangement in the two weeks since the Nintendo Direct on June 18. I am very pleased with the extremely gorgeous perfection, mixing in phrases from the Prime 4 trailer when Sylux appeared, and phrases from the Metroid titles. Thank you so much!

[@eiriseven]

Well this is a nice rendition of the hunters theme........ 2:48 oh, OH!!!!!

[@ShykeProdz]

Yes, with the amazing electric guitar 🎸 daamn what a blast . Nintendo should put it it in the game 😊😮

[@Tanookicatoon]

I like how you basically have Spire's theme in this too, because it just works great as the bass to literally every hunter's theme.😂

[@HanaHime29]

If MP4 gets nominated for GOTY, the orchestral band's gotta perform this

[@danielealessi7830]

Absolutely incredible! V1 was already an amazing rendition, but the way you made this one sound almost horror-like with the strings in some sections, plus the implementation of the guitar from the MP4 trailer... Gahhh, it's so good!!!

[@danielealessi7830]

Ah, also the Metroid Prime main theme in the back at 3:42 is so fricking clever! A true masterpiece, made by a true fan who knows what they're doing. Keep up the great work!

[@Guarrow]

Idk why but I literally listened to this while doing something else and .... it just didn't felt weird at all. Like it could have been official. It's probably because it's just an « arrangement » but it felt so good and usual at the same time despite me not having listened to it before If I could describe it, it would be like : feels like an ost that released on the game from another dimension where the DS would have been a home console with HiFi

[@zero2xsammy125]

they finally show the game and you cause Hype the only problem now is when in 2025 is it going to melt us

[@DavidTurpinGames]

Thanks, now I'm going to be disappointed when this is isn't the Sylux battle music in MP4

[@Cue-Ball.]

Prime has never been full orchestral. That's more of a mainline 2D Metroid thing. This kinda arrange fits more in the sidescrolling games. The actual MP4 version will prob by more synthy and electronic like most the Prime themes.

[@Wxyver_n]

I hope they add this motif in his boss theme for Prime 4.

Tremendous work. What choir sample did you use? I'd love to remix Noxus's theme with it.

That'd be neat if you did! The choir I used was from Audio Imperia's Nucleus.

He better be the final boss and have a good backstory. Thats all I hope for Sylux.

[@tacdragzag7464]

@@jangofett1172 Yeah he yields so much potencial... Just off of the few things I remember I can imagine a story like: He was a high ranking GF scientist working on cutting edge prototypes for weapons suits and ships when his facility on Cylosis was attacked by some invaders (Kriken, Space Pirates, whatever... ) At that point the GF panicked and did not want the prototypes in their enemies' hands so they send orders to the defense forces to just blow it all up. But Sylux did not want his life work destroyed. He got himself the best suit and weapon and then went berserk on the Federation troopers sent to destroy his work. (Sorta like the Hunters intro) After this he stole the Delano 7 and escaped. Feeling utterly betrayed by his own people he now layed low and plotted revenge, perhaps working as a freelance bounty hunter, evading GF officials, who believed him and all his work/coworkers to have been lost in the chaos of that invasion. Then he heard about the "ultimate power" in the Alimbic Cluster and saw his chance for revenge: He went and got beaten up by Samus as we got to see. Somehow surviving the end, (I hope there is a good explanation for that, we saw Gorea suck the life out of all Hunters after all) he now holds and especially strong hatered for Samus explaining why he tracked after her in particular in the end of Prime 3 and why he went to her enemies to plot anew. I literally just made all of that up lol and I hope a good writer can do better XD
