This is the best final boss theme EVER. It creeps the FUCK outta you. Sets you in the mood. Makes you feel every second of it. It disturbs and affects you in tangible ways. It is made to shake you and set your heart racing. A masterpiece by the genius Kenji Yamamoto. And this cover amplifies the feeling.
This is awesome. One of the only covers of this song that has a satisfying punch to it, while also having the main instrument sound enough like that weird screech from the original. 10/10!
I can still hear that ugly beast scream-drooling at me. Mother Brain killing the Metroid was the first time I felt absolute rage in a video game. Perfect rendition of this track; it brings back a lot of memories. Your channel and videos are criminally underviewed. You deserve mad success, man.
Hey Space Geek, thanks so much brother. Appreciate the kind words and support! And I remember that feeling from the game too - so powerful! Can't wait for a new Metroid game.
The music and sound design in Super Metroid is absolutely unmatched in my opinion. Everything was flawless together. The Mother Brain fight at the end wasn't hard but it was an experience. I wish I could go back and play through it for the first time again.
Holy freaking A... That literally gave me a freak-out as soon as the loud synth kicked in. I was already half expecting to hear mother brain's screams following next.
This is incredible. When you kicked in with that drum beat and then progressively made it more complex (it’s not even in 4/4) AND YOU DID IT LIVE with the bass and organ, my jaw dropped.
watching the keyboard cover of that high harmony shows how much fun Yamamoto had putting this together... such intersecting combinations of polychords over chromatic bassline
Cool as hell - the best cover of this theme out there, bar none. Deserves far more views. The percussion is inspired - I love how it builds in intensity and complexity throughout.
@@GLASYS I've started a Metroid ''Medley'' even haha, let you know when its finished, keep rocking! That midi controller with joystick buttons is sick!
When that beat dropped. …Hooooly shit man. Instant subscribe. I never heard anyone else do mother brains theme so much justice and then enhance it like this.
I don't know how I missed this video but WOAH!! This perfectly captures the stressful encounter and had so much atmosphere, the intro was really cool, great work!
This boss theme is nothing but intimidating and pants defecatingly horrifying. A gem for the SNES sound chip, and so deeply inspired by Alien, you'd think you're in the movie itself!
your work is amazing sir. your jungle brinstar brought me in, but this one has me hooked. makes me truly imagine how horrifying mother brain would have been. gonna listen to kraids lair next. that definitely one of the best songs in the series. thanks
I can't thank you enough for this! It's just so good! Inspired me to write lyrics like I hadn't done in so long. All thanks to this cover! Thank you so much!
This is the best cover of this song I've ever heard, and I've listened to every single one that's on Spotify, which may host what was IMHO the second best in terms of impact, intensity, and slickness. Still getting round to browsing the full TH-cam selection of interpretations.
Surprisingly, there's very little overlap-- Most musicians covering songs do not upload to both services. Regardless of whether they're doing an instrumental track or a pop one.
Hey, thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I really appreciate the compliment. And thanks for reminding me that I need to upload this to the streaming platforms - I've done it for most of my covers prior to this one, so a new compilation album is overdue.
Just remember when I thought I killed it, it suddenly came back to life. I'm like, WTF, dude! This was the early 90's so I was just a kid so it didn't take much to scare me.
I come back to your metroid covers every now and again and I'm always impressed by this one. not only are you playing the bass loop and beats on one synth, its with one hand. I assume you're also fading the right hand with a foot pedal so there's an immense amount of mental work just to play this, let alone get it right and to sound as good as it does.
I think that final boss theme is TOO amazing for a creature like Mother Brain when she get a body, because... just look at her! It's a silly dinosaur! I would've expected a godlike machine with such powerful theme.
The left hand is a separate entity
The two halves of the left hand are seperate entities
😂
He definitely puts the "main" in "main gauche"
Malevolent Podcast
I see no reason why you should stop doing Metroid covers. These are of absolutely highest quality known to man. I am sure Yamamoto would be proud!
Thanks dude! I'm having such a blast covering these
Everyone. We need to protest. This guy isn’t getting enough views. Holy moly this is crazy.
Thanks so much! Also, your username made me LOL 😂
You've got to watch his Contra video!!!!!
@@GabrielBelloMusic Oh yes !
cuz metroid is forgotten
Yep
When you started throwing in the percussion I was like "dudes on point". So tight. Great arrangement and playing!
Thanks so much Scott!

Thanks dude! Totally agree about this theme being a masterpiece, as well as the rest of the SM soundtrack!
When I was 8 I remember making it this far in the game. When that thing stood up after blowing up the glass it scared the living hell out of me
Also the 7/8 time signature makes it badass.
@@benwearne542 I was about that age too when I beat Mother Brain, and then refused to fight her again for about 8 years lol
Couldn't have said this better myself
This is awesome. One of the only covers of this song that has a satisfying punch to it, while also having the main instrument sound enough like that weird screech from the original. 10/10!
Hey man thanks so much for the kind words, much appreciated. Glad you like the cover!

This song always scared the shit out of me as a kid. The main chords sounds like screaming of some horrible creature, really adds to the panic
This is basically '80s horror film music.
Holy freaking A... That literally gave me a freak-out as soon as the loud synth kicked in. I was already half expecting to hear mother brain's screams following next.
Wait wtf this has no business going this hard
have you heard the original
@@cyclone8974 naturally
I can feel the pressure and stress, my 12 year old me had fighting this beast, getting cheered by my sisters! Love it
That's awesome dude! Hope you and your sisters still game together. Thanks for the kind words :)
@@GLASYS thanks! way less then we used to, but in fact, next week on Wednesday we will meet and game like in the good old days :)
@@MrScheller that's awesome!
I concur..
I remember my heart dropping out of my ass as a kid when this started playing and mb rose from the ground mixed in with her screams
i recently played SM for the first time and shidded my pants
Nice to be here in the beginning, watching a star be born.
You are too kind my friend 🙏
i love the thumbnail with mother brain from other M intro
Thanks Damian!
@@GLASYS yours welcome ya did an great job with the musics
This is so accurate it nearly gave me a panic attack
Free xanax giveaway coming soon! 😄
at first my mind is blown, then he PLAYS THE DRUMS AND THE BASSLINE ON ONE HAND
This is epic as F#*K!! Heavy feelings from a lost deep place in space! Love your music so much dude❤️
I appreciate the kind words Hotataho! Glad you like it! 🙏
So intense! I love it! The WAV files you're sending out to Patreons just explode through my headphones!
Dude thanks so much for being a Patron! Really means a lot, I'm extremely grateful for your support man! 🙏😊
This is incredible. When you kicked in with that drum beat and then progressively made it more complex (it’s not even in 4/4) AND YOU DID IT LIVE with the bass and organ, my jaw dropped.
Thanks dude! Appreciate the kind words :)
The fact the camera is vibrating adds such a mood, its the little things that make it pop..
Thanks for the kind words my friend, glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
When Mother Brain stomps right into the club... No lie, this was absolute 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! This is so complex and you're just playing around with it. Absolutely incredible!
Thanks Anton, I appreciate your support dude! 🙏:)
im in love!! imagine if he got that oh so painful -squeak- in then transitioned in to the surface theme 🤤
Holy damn~ Great cover! I absolutely love this terrifying theme and you knocked this out of the park~ 10/10 would poop my pants again.
Hi Antonio! Thanks so much man! So glad you enjoyed it (in a terrified kinda way)! 😄🙏
watching the keyboard cover of that high harmony shows how much fun Yamamoto had putting this together... such intersecting combinations of polychords over chromatic bassline
This theme is probably the source of my general anxiety as a kid.
Cool as hell - the best cover of this theme out there, bar none. Deserves far more views. The percussion is inspired - I love how it builds in intensity and complexity throughout.
Hey thanks so much! That’s very kind of you to say, glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Best cover of this track ever made
Aw you’re too kind, thanks so much 🙏
@@GLASYS it's the truth. Thank you for making this. Have a good one and keep covering awesome tunes
Great work and I really mean it! From the sound design to execution!
Thanks so much Juan! Really appreciate your kind words my friend 🙏
@@GLASYS I've started a Metroid ''Medley'' even haha, let you know when its finished, keep rocking! That midi controller with joystick buttons is sick!
@@Matapel0 that's awesome, looking forward to hearing it! :)
This goes so hard
Haha man I was just thinking this song sounds so powerful.
Damn what a cover. Great job
Thanks so much NotaVoltorb! Really appreciate the kind words :)
Ayyy, Just ran into this and favorited some of your work on Spotify! I hope this makes it on there soon!! Great work!!
Hey, thanks so much! I really appreciate it. This will definitely make it to Spotify soon!
Goddamn, that brought tears to my eyes... Perfection...
Aw man thanks so much Shawn! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
@@GLASYS absolutely brother. Def got a new fan
Damn this was sick, you got some skills man
Thanks so much dude! 🙏
@@GLASYS No prob man, definitely earn a sub from me
That was epic, need an HD audio version of this ❤️
Thank you Bowsette!
When that beat dropped. …Hooooly shit man. Instant subscribe. I never heard anyone else do mother brains theme so much justice and then enhance it like this.
Yo thanks so much! That means a lot 😀🙏
Ecstatic for more metroid from you! Can't wait to see more!
I don't know how I missed this video but WOAH!! This perfectly captures the stressful encounter and had so much atmosphere, the intro was really cool, great work!
Thanks so much my friend! Glad you like it! :D
If that left hand was the final boss I would've screamed.
Man, the left hand part just blows my mind! Also, this brings back memories!
Quality content as always, got me rocking before work
Glad you like it Yuki! Thanks so much dude!
This boss theme is nothing but intimidating and pants defecatingly horrifying. A gem for the SNES sound chip, and so deeply inspired by Alien, you'd think you're in the movie itself!
I could even hear in my head MB's screams and the charging sounds of the hyper beam!
your work is amazing sir. your jungle brinstar brought me in, but this one has me hooked. makes me truly imagine how horrifying mother brain would have been. gonna listen to kraids lair next. that definitely one of the best songs in the series. thanks
The way your hands move they might as well be a boss in Metroid!
No thanks, I don't want my fingers getting ice-beamed by Samus! lol :)
the obligatory Nintendo hand boss for Metroid 😂
Master hand reference in a metroid game
I can't thank you enough for this! It's just so good! Inspired me to write lyrics like I hadn't done in so long. All thanks to this cover! Thank you so much!
Hey thanks, that’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Oh, this ROCKS. This jams so hard I cannot properly describe it with my vocabulary
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
SO MUCH ENERGY!
A lot of coffee was sacrificed in the making of this video!
The accuracy in your left hand is unreal! I love this so much!
Thanks so much! 🙏
Best SNES Mother Brain music remix on the planet......Period!!! Keep up the good work sir!!
Man thanks so much! That's very high praise, I really appreciate it! So glad you like it 🙏

@@GLASYS Thanks for responding! Most don't. Anyhow I look forward to that. Appreciate the variety and Keep up the great work 👍 !!
I was having a really rough day and this cheered me up. Thank you so much
Sorry about your day man, hope tomorrow is better! These are difficult times.
Jesus Christ! I want this played at my wedding when the bride comes walking down!
Aweesome work! One with the Synth!
Thanks James! Hope you are doing well!
@@GLASYS going good man thanks! just watched again. Fantastic!
That sounds so flipping awesome! Keep it up.
Thank you Robert, appreciate it!
Your tracks always take me to another world. Thanks again.
Thanks so much, that means a lot 🙏
bro the keyboard sounds like the wails of the damned, love it
So heavy! I love it!
Thanks brother!
I would kill for a fraction of your coordination and rythmic sense
DUDE!!!! THAT IS FUCKING PURE AWESOMNESS!!! Sorry for the the all caps. Couldn't help myself.
Thanks Mark! That's a pretty good use of all caps, as far as I'm concerned! 😄🙏
@@GLASYS Just remember back in the day having to fight that thing. Mother Brain freaked me out when I was kid back in the 90's.
Just remember when I thought I killed it, it suddenly came back to life. I'm like, WTF, dude! This was the early 90's so I was just a kid so it didn't take much to scare me.
If Nintendo decides to bring back Metroid, I hope the main antagonist is Mother Brain. Or at the very least another version of her.
I really, really love that game.
Oh this is definitely going into my favorites! Truly incredible masterwork!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😀🙏
You distilled the essence of the song, and amped it way up! :) Well done!
I never realized just how hard this tune goes, but dang. Beautiful
Thanks! It's pretty dramatic for sure 😄
I'm impressed! What a good cover, congrats!
You went hard good job I thoroughly enjoyed this theme when I was a kid and this brought some nostalgia to my experience great performance!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Another powerful performance, what a groove! And thanks for the technical details. It really DOES sound like 2020, doesn't it?!
Thanks Gary! Unfortunately it does 😭😄
Instant subscribe. Got curious after listening to Sam Miller's restoration. You have real skills with synth!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words and sub. Welcome to the channel! :)
By far one of my favorite renditions of Mother Brain's boss theme!
That means a lot, thanks so much Kaegan!!
@@GLASYS No problem! Keep up the amazing work!
It's especially cool that you play the drum sounds live!
Thank you Rikard! 🙏
This is so intense!! I love it
Thanks fam! :)
Jeez man this gave me hella goosebumps. 👍👍👍👍
I’ve never heard super Metroid but this is very cool
I'll never stop revisiting this video 🥰 and sharing it!!
I appreciate you 😀
Incredible performance. Have you heard Mazedude's take on this song, Dieselbrainage? Y'all took similar directions!
I haven't, I'll check it out! Thanks for the kind words Sergio!
This made my entire day
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks 😊
very sick work yeah!
I love it, brings a good bit of nostalgia
Thank you! :)
Ngl this turned into "What if Nine Inch Nails wrote Mother Brains Theme?" when the drums came in. Thanks for the cover!
WOW. This is so powerful. I love it. Amazing work my master!
You are very kind my friend! Thanks for the kind comments! 🙏
Jeez this is epic.
Here you go again!! ...making quarantine bearable....AWWWWESOMMMME!
Oh man thanks so much! That's really nice to hear!
AMAZING as per usual sir!!!!
Hey Gabriel, thanks my friend!
@@GLASYS you are MOST welcome! Would love to collab next year on some killer SNES tunes I've been wanting to cover for a while!
Yes dude this is so sick!!!
Thanks so much Francesco!
Such a powerful sound.
Thanks Bob!
YES. Powerful, eerie, masterful. Love it.
Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed it 🙏
You had violence on your mind when you made this. Sounds great!
Probably had lunch on my mind 😂
Thanks!
this bass + drums left hand is the real world boss fight
As always you've blown me away. Beautiful!
Thank you Ted!
Oh my god those claps!! It fits lerfectly!!

Woah, goose bumps
This is so amazing, I love it
Thanks so much 😀
Awesome!
Awesome as always.
Thank you! :)

OMG THAT'S SO SICK, I LOVE IT

This rocks man!

I would absolutely *love* to hear Vs. Ridley from you!
Ridley was my first Metroid cover, you can find it on my channel :)
