"Videogame metal supergroup Metroid Metal has pulled a surprise twist on the game music scene today with the release of a new album entitled “Other Album.”
The album, whose title is an obvious tongue-in-cheek reference to the Wii’s Metroid: Other M, features 40 minutes of metal covers of tracks from Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime 2, Metroid Prime, Metroid 2 and Super Metroid. While previous albums, such as 2010′s “Expansion Pack” were recorded and heavily edited, this new entry is full of live takes and unedited drums sans replacements. Because of this approach, the band states that they consider it the “most visceral, pounding and dark album [they've] done.”" - Patrick Kulikowski
Super Metroid was a monumental triumph of interactive art, a game that achieved new heights in presentation, level design, and pacing, and despite a few flaws, manages to hold up astoundingly well to this day.
"30 years after its launch, however, Super Metroid for the SNES remains the undisputed king of the franchise in terms of its atmosphere and tone. " - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
Fusion did a great job at it. Really love that horror feel with metroid. I mean you are completely alone on alien planets filled with horrific monsters and toxic environments.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
