I’ve been in a Metroid frame of mind since Metroid Dread was announced at E3. This is an awesome, faithful cover of Kraid’s Lair from the original Metroid, thanks to Youtube artist GLASYS. Check it out!

#MusicMonday – Returnal “The Forest”
There is something incredibly unsettling about Returnal, and with the track entitled “The Forest”, the music encapsulates that unsettling vibe. The background music alone whilst playing gives the player not only a creepy atmosphere, but also a curious mind. There’s a push and pull with Returnal, and Bobby Krlic has done a tremendous job capturing this with the soundtrack to this fine game.
Enjoy!

#MusicMonday – “Maiden In Black” – Demon’s Souls Remake
#MusicMonday returns with this unsettling yet comforting track entitled “Maiden In Black”, from the masterful Demon’s Souls Remake. Back when I first played Demon’s Souls on the PS3, I fell in love with the gentle harp that plays as you gather your bearing in The Nexus. A place where you can feel safe, away from the Demon’s of Boletaria. A safe haven that glowed with ambient light emanating from it’s tranquil atmosphere. This version, which is more or less completely different than the original, makes you feel like you are in an ancient Italian church that is haunted by Gregorian angels.
Enjoy!

#MusicMonday: Final Fantasy XII – “Sorrow-Imperial”
Folks. It’s #MusicMonday once again, and this time, this track really hit me in the feels. I haven’t ever played Final Fantasy XII, but I discovered the soundtrack recently after seeing someone stream the game again on Twitch. This track reminds me a lot of the music for The Last Guardian. Huge sweeping orchestrations and emotionally packed textures fill your ears with joy. So much so I am contemplating buying the game and likely never playing it. So it goes. For all the fans of #MusicMonday, I truly hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.

#MusicMonday – Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – “Enter The Animus” – The Flight
#MusicMonday returns with the powerful and intriguing “Enter The Animus” composed by The Flight. I have yet to play Odyssey, but I stumbled across the soundtrack recently and was impressed with its mystique. Most of the scores for the Assassin’s Creed games have always been impressive in my opinion, and Odyssey’s is shaping up to be no slouch. All I can say is this track may have inspired me to play the game at some point. A man can dream..

#MusicMonday: Bioshock Infinite – “Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Will_Gear Cover)
Hi folks. It’s Monday, which means it’s time for more video game music! This week’s #MusicMonday, is the heavenly track “Will The Circle Be Unbroken”. I immediately fell in love with this song within the first hour of the game. I honestly thought to myself, if Heaven is a real place, this must be it, when I heard it for the first time. Over the weekend I decided to put my own twist on the choral/choir version of the piece, to try and capture the ethereal quality of the in game version. Be careful, as it might put you to sleep. In a good way!

#MusicMonday – Sixto Sounds – “Bloody Wolf Rock Arrangement”
Bloody Wolf is one of my all time favorites from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras of gaming. It’s a flawed masterpiece for the Turbo-Grafx 16, and has a banger of a soundtrack. But this wouldn’t be a normal #MusicMonday if I didn’t try to find a remixed version of one of my favorite video game tunes, would it?
Here comes a heavy metal instrumental version of the first stage, courtesy of Sixto Sounds. Enjoy!

#MusicMonday – Metal Gear Solid 3 – “Old Metal Gear”
#MusicMonday returns with another fine track to start your week. This time, I’m bringing the beachy, seductive vibes of “Old Metal Gear” from the Metal Gear Solid 3 soundtrack. I recently re-exported the entire soundtrack from disc to my computer, and fell in love again with this track along with the entire score. Kick back and relax with this one after a long day at work. Maybe a Margherita would be in order, too.
Until next time..
