  Planet Shattering CD: Metroid Metal – Varia Suite (Review)

  September 7, 2009 | Audun Sorlie | 3 Comments Share this Planet Shattering CD: Metroid Metal – Varia Suite (Review)

  
  Metroid has always been a unique game series. Since the first game’s release in 1987, gamers have been hooked on the barren, lonely atmosphere, exciting boss fights, exploration of strange places and of course, the excellent music by Hip Tanaka.

  Metroid was unlike anything else in terms of gameplay and music. It didn’t use upbeat samba or rock ‘n roll influenced tracks. Rather, it was more mysterious, sending you into a huge world of unknown beings and sounds, with a heroic main theme in Brinstar, to the chilling boss theme against Ridley, it’s a solid classic. Metroid 2 and Super Metroid by Ryoji Yoshitomi and Kenji Yamamoto, released on Game Boy and SNES respectively only helped Metroid reach its iconic status.

  So with the music being so recognizable and held in such high regard, naturally a lot of arrangements and fan projects and have focused on Metroid, and tomorrow, Metroid Metal will unleash their new CD upon the world.

  So, did they do the series justice? Do a screw attack and find out after the jump! (more…)
