I love how oppressive you've made this sound. The weight of the galaxy is always on Samus's shoulders, it only makes sense that the soundtrack would sound appropriately bleak.
Your cover is the best version outside of the original, people always do too much with the song. Its supposed to be echoey indicating vast distances yet the song should be clear like a bell without too much going on which adds to the feeling of isolation and focus.
Agreed, but for the purpose of education, this is a "piece". A "song" has someone singing. Learned that in piano class in college, found it informative. 🖖
I actually wondered what the nomenclature was for music without singing and now a know. I used to just call it music or a score, but it didn't feel right in a sentence sometimes.
Cold, isolating, alien; this is what Kraid's Lair should be. The theme perfectly encapsulates the landscape of the caverns: so pitch black it's suffocating, with all you can hear being your own breathing, the scuttling of things in the distance, and... very unsettling roars. Excellent cover, sir.
I absolutely LOVE the "out of this world" creepy stare at the camera at the end... You did my favorite song from my favorite game justice. Well well done!
Dude these covers are so sick, thank you so much for making this content. I’d love to see you make whatever you want to make next, but if you’re looking for ideas for material to cover, Megaman X and Megaman X2 have some absolutely incredible music for synth and percussion
I remember the late 1980's... I was around 4 or 5 and input in the code "Justin Bailey" and traversed to some random area of the map only to go to Kraids lair and just not move the controller and listen to that tune.
Kraid's theme has always been one of my favorites in all of video game music. I've heard MANY great covers over the years. This is as good as any of them.
jesus this is the best cover. It illustrates the cold loneliness of being that deep in the planet and in a sweet and more importantly genuine retro flair.
Absolutely gorgeous! What a great and unique cover to bring to this particular theme! The choice of Synths, and samples, from layering and mastering. Thank you for this beautiful cover.
I only cover songs that move me on a deep level. Keeping the original feeling/intent is very important to me, so I appreciate you acknowledging that! :)
I'm very happy to hear that. Also enjoy that you only cover songs that you have a personal attachment to. It's very obvious that you're super passionate about the ones that you do cover. I'm SO happy that you are doing all of these. Thank you.
@@GLASYS Thanks, keep up the amazing work. From what I've seen until now, you have a lot of great and creative content. Even the collaboration was fun to watch. One thing I noticed with different channels is that original contents are hard to pass by because it's hard for people to find them. Having a few content like these gives you a great chance of people like me finding your channel. Keep up the awesome work Glasys!
Absolutely astounding! Can't believe I'm just finding this channel now. Funny timing, though, because I was just thinking this morning how I'd love to find a cover channel focused on synths
Dude, I keep coming to this cover because it has the same feeling of the original by you manage to expand on that feeling with your instrumentation and it reaaally does a lot for the song. In short I love it and can't wait for more.
dope, bro. i was 5 yrs old when this game dropped. watched my brother who was 10 at the time, play it. Nostalgia reached an unfathomable level with this vid.
Thanks dude! Metroid 2 was my first, unfortunately I didn't get to play the original until much later. Such a masterpiece. I hope you and your brother still play games together!
you know, id really like to hear you do the extended zero mission version of this track. i know you could pull it off better than anyone else and nobody else ive listened to seems to have done it either@@GLASYS
as the thousandth like on this video, I just wanna say that this is my most favourite cover of any metroid track. you captured it perfectly. this is the way it always sounded in my head. thank you for making amazing covers. this one hits the spot.
Your cover should have more views, you're a genius! You've encapsulated the feeling of isolation and fear of not knowing what could happen really well, also the mix of sounds that you've used feel really "alien" or "sci-fi", I don't how to describe them, but either way, this was such a masterpiece!
If I were Samus, and heard this theme as I hunted for Kraid, I would definitely "Dread" running into the giant Godzilla wannabe. This track captures the feel of the deep-underground cavern where Kraid lurks perfectly.
Wow, I just found your channel and I'm in love. One of my favorite songs of all time, and you've covered it such a unique way. Have a sub, and keep up the awesome work.
I kinda dig the distorting effect before the song "loops", eheh. The main notes are spot on, and the sci-fi noises as a backing track are a great touch!
I read the view count as 2 million and thought "I'm not surprised!" Then saw it was only 2k then thought "this guy is underrated!" XD
I do that al that time with Glasys.. crazy how more people have not discovered him
Criminally underrated!!!!!!!
So we will have full capacity of views… soon.
Don't worry, given how it's going right now I should get us to 2mil on my own soon enough.
I misread your comment as 2 trillion lol
This is how I imagine this track would've sounded in Metroid Prime, excellent work friend!
Thank you! I really appreciate that
I thought the exact same thing! I wish it had been in a prime game, it's probably my favorite metroid song of all time!
The modulated sound makes it feel so alien. This is fire
Thanks gyno!
This might be my new favourite version of Kraid's Lair.
same
Luminist's version is fine too. Eerie and more horrorish
I love how oppressive you've made this sound. The weight of the galaxy is always on Samus's shoulders, it only makes sense that the soundtrack would sound appropriately bleak.
Great point.
Your cover is the best version outside of the original, people always do too much with the song. Its supposed to be echoey indicating vast distances yet the song should be clear like a bell without too much going on which adds to the feeling of isolation and focus.
Thank you Aaron, I appreciate the compliment 🙏
Agreed, but for the purpose of education, this is a "piece". A "song" has someone singing. Learned that in piano class in college, found it informative. 🖖
Have you heard luminist cover of the song? Omg you should
@@southbrazosbass244 Sounds pretentious.
I actually wondered what the nomenclature was for music without singing and now a know. I used to just call it music or a score, but it didn't feel right in a sentence sometimes.
This is NOW my favorite version of this! Holy shit is this really really good.
Hey Animation Graveyard thank you so much! Glad you like it!
InKraidable. I damn near teared up listening to this. This is awesome.
Cold, isolating, alien; this is what Kraid's Lair should be. The theme perfectly encapsulates the landscape of the caverns: so pitch black it's suffocating, with all you can hear being your own breathing, the scuttling of things in the distance, and... very unsettling roars.
Excellent cover, sir.
Thank you so much! Love your description 💙🙏
I thought the finger slider thingy on the martenot was a little metroid at first
I agree with the other guy, Glasys is criminally slept on. He deserves LITERALLY TRILLIONS of views and likes.
My man thanks so much 🙏
I guess aliens from other planets should listen to it to get a trillion views right? Like Tallon IV, space pirates' home planet etc. xD
I absolutely LOVE the "out of this world" creepy stare at the camera at the end... You did my favorite song from my favorite game justice. Well well done!
Thanks Jesse! :)
This is absolutely amazing how modern Metroid would sound. Bravo sir. You capture the essence of Metroid perfectly.
Thanks so much man! That means a lot! 🙏
@@GLASYS You are so welcome. You absolutely shred these synths.
This is an absolutely stellar rendition of Brinstar Depths. Truly fantastic.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙏
True to form, I love how the synths add Metroid-like spookiness to the piece
Thanks Ryan!
I've stumbled across a goldmine of a channel. Thank you for making this
Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate you being here 🙏♥️
Bro!!!! This has been my game for over 3 decades. With that being said, this is one THE ALL TIME GREATEST METROID COVERS EVER!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Timmy, you’re incredibly kind, thank you! Glad you like it 🙏
Dude these covers are so sick, thank you so much for making this content.
I’d love to see you make whatever you want to make next, but if you’re looking for ideas for material to cover, Megaman X and Megaman X2 have some absolutely incredible music for synth and percussion
Definitely wanna cover Megaman at some point! Thanks Spencer!
@@GLASYS - do spark mandrill stage!
I love the little squiggles? Bird chirpy noises? Whatever those are. Love em.
If Kraid had been as badass as his theme made him out to be, no one would have ever beat Metroid
This is the best cover to date bravo my guy
Thanks Krystal, really appreciate the compliment! Glad you like it! 🙏
Kid me is happy hearing this😌
If they ever make a movie this exact theme better be in it!
A phenomenal bit of arranging and playing. Bravo!
Thanks so much 🙏
I remember the late 1980's... I was around 4 or 5 and input in the code "Justin Bailey" and traversed to some random area of the map only to go to Kraids lair and just not move the controller and listen to that tune.
Incredible, immersive, and captivating! Your fingers can really dance.
Hey Walter, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Kraid's theme has always been one of my favorites in all of video game music.

This perfectly captures the feel of metroid.

Hey Mitchkit, you're so kind! Thanks for the compliments and support, really appreciate it! 🙏
I bought this game with my paper route money in Oct 1987. Your Metroid music brings me back to a wonderful time in me life. Thank you .
My god, I am so happy you've been covering Metroid and Castlevania. Absolute banger job mate.
Thank you Kyle! I'm having a blast covering these
The Metroid 1 soundtrack works so well for synth covers. Nice one.
I love that you are putting out so much content recently :D It's all so damn good, well done!
Thanks for sticking around and supporting! Really appreciate it!
Another perfect example of keeping the original intent of the song there. You're incredible man.
I only cover songs that move me on a deep level. Keeping the original feeling/intent is very important to me, so I appreciate you acknowledging that! :)

This is amazing! I've always loved this theme, and you made it so much better.
That means a lot, thanks Mustache Man! 🙏
brings me back to when i first got Metroid in 1989. Nothing can replicate the feeling you got from that game back in the day.
That was hauntingly beautiful...
Thanks so much!
Not only this piece was the best version I've found, but that subscriber part made me subscribe instantly of how good it was too.
Thank you my friend, really appreciate the love and support! Welcome to the channel :)
@@GLASYS Thanks, keep up the amazing work. From what I've seen until now, you have a lot of great and creative content.

This cover is so rad. I've listened to it about 8 times in a row now
Absolutely astounding! Can't believe I'm just finding this channel now. Funny timing, though, because I was just thinking this morning how I'd love to find a cover channel focused on synths
Thank you Twisted Logic! Welcome to the channel! :)
Thing about Glasys is that he takes playing on keyboard to the next level ;)
God, I love the music from the Metroid series. It is so moody and ambient. I really love the way you did this piece.
My favorite song of metroid. A sick creation of you ! very very nice sounds of melody
You're very kind my friend, thank you 🙏 :)
Dude, I keep coming to this cover because it has the same feeling of the original by you manage to expand on that feeling with your instrumentation and it reaaally does a lot for the song. In short I love it and can't wait for more.
Thanks so much, that really means a lot! Working on some new Metroid covers :)
dope, bro. i was 5 yrs old when this game dropped. watched my brother who was 10 at the time, play it. Nostalgia reached an unfathomable level with this vid.
Thanks dude! Metroid 2 was my first, unfortunately I didn't get to play the original until much later. Such a masterpiece. I hope you and your brother still play games together!
This is incredible! Blown away. Hauntingly beautiful! 👏🏻
Hey thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Congratulations, man. Excellent cover. Super Metroid was my game growing up 🎉
Man, this is out of this world. It sounds like Vangelis made it, no joke.
Thank you! I take that as a big compliment 🙏
I just dropped in...to see what condition my condition was in
There is no track in any videogame that hits me in the nostalgia as hard as this one. Great cover!
Absolutely stupendous take on this piece. I loved it.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words man :)
The finger speed is simply astounding! Well done!!!
Great arrangement. Sustaining that last note at the end of those quick runs makes a big difference.
Thank you Michael! Appreciate your kind words man. :)
That's dope dude! I love the way this Matriarch sounds.
You are absolutely AMAZINGLY talented! 💖
You’re super kind, thank you! 😀🙏
I love your take on kraid's domain. easily one of my favorite tracks in all of nintendo's work, and you really made me feel it. thanks
Thank you Jeremy! Really glad you enjoyed it!
you know, id really like to hear you do the extended zero mission version of this track. i know you could pull it off better than anyone else and nobody else ive listened to seems to have done it either@@GLASYS
Holy shit, this is so far my favorite version of this amazing theme, thanks for sharing it with us
So glad you like it! Thanks Joss!
Such a cool melody
Kraid's Chamber is my favorite metroid track, and this guy just made the best version!
Thanks so much, really appreciate the huge compliment! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

@@GLASYS my pleasure. you have talent and you make great covers so you're definitely worth supporting.
One of the rare times I actually have liked and subscribed.
I'm gonna be honest I didn't expect to get goosebumps from this, fantastic job
Dude how does this only have 14k views this is fucking amazing. Keep it up man, love it
Thanks for the support dude! Really glad you enjoyed it! :)
Wow! As always - phenomenal!!
Bravo!

Thank you, maestro. I had a great pleasure listening to you...
Thank you Mike! 🙏
Juste magnifique ! 😮
Bravo ! Quel talent ! 😃
It's one of my favorite musics of the Metroid saga.
Thank you so much 🙏
@@GLASYS My pleasure! 😉
I listen it in loop ☺
@@GLASYS You're so talented that I bought your album "Off Screen - Video Recordings" on Bandcamp 😉
You really deserve it.
Have a nice day! 🙂
Woah! What an atmosphere this one creates. Awesome stuff!
Thanks so much!
Another year's passed but this control center of your still rocks!
Thank you!! :)
I was.very young when I first enter Kraids lair and I was totally stunned by the music. You took it to anotger level ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Albin!
Omg, you are amazing.
Please give us more metroid!
Thank you! More is on the way :)
Incredibly talented, blown away absolutely.
You're very kind, thanks so much! 🙏
I’m going to have weird and awesome dreams about space tonight. Thanks!
Outstanding theme. Masterfully done. You sir, are a genius🔥
Prince Goro thanks so much man! Really appreciate the kind words :)
Thank you Glasys. It's a fun game to play in general with excellent music that you'll enjoy. A challenging game as well. 8^)
Very nice. I hope there will be more Metroid covers.
Thank you! Yes, there will be
GLASYS Oh yeah! I‘m hyped.
Wow... this might be the best rendition of this classic song
That’s incredibly kind of you to say, thank you!
You, sir, have magical fingers. They've really touched me
Thank you Gare Bear!
Your videos are EPIC.....got this metroid fan boy's heart signing with all the cover music....my favorite so far is your cover of Mother Brain 🧠
Hey JonahKai thanks so much! So glad you're enjoying the covers 🙏😊
@@GLASYS OH YES....ENJOY IS THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF 2021 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Probably the greatest version I've ever heard - masterful work GLASYS
Aw man thank you Reni! 🙏
I love it, how many memories!
Thank you! :)
Yo bro thank you so much for doing this amazing cover of an amazing level.
Thank you for listening and for writing these kind words! :)
Kraid Is back in Metroid dread ! (And I love your version !)
You got my subscription. Amazing work!
Your cover should have more views, you're a genius!
You've encapsulated the feeling of isolation and fear of not knowing what could happen really well, also the mix of sounds that you've used feel really "alien" or "sci-fi", I don't how to describe them, but either way, this was such a masterpiece!
Hi Julz, thanks so much for your kind and generous compliments my friend! So glad you enjoyed it! 😊🙏
I dont know how your able to multi task without looking thats amazing, such skill.
Thank you! 🙏
Nostalgia... So good dude.
Thank you! :)
This sounds as if it was made for a Metroid Prime game series. It's incredible. It takes the best of MZM and Prime's mood and atmosphere.
Oh man that's the best compliment I could hope for. Thanks so much Antonio!
Absolutely masterful. You're incredible.
Mustache dude you're very kind my friend! Thanks so much! 🙏
@@GLASYS Thank you so much for the reply! I'm honored!!
If I were Samus, and heard this theme as I hunted for Kraid, I would definitely "Dread" running into the giant Godzilla wannabe. This track captures the feel of the deep-underground cavern where Kraid lurks perfectly.
I love the whole approach his interpretations of the songs take.
like a technological wizard in his alien castle
If the last 5 seconds of this video doesn't get you subscriptions then there's no justice in the world.
Sick as always dude!
Aw man thanks so much! You're very kind!
That brought my old ass back to 8 years old playing that on my NES and dying multiple times! Thanks for the memories!
Thanks Jonny! It's def a challenging game, even today! :D
Awesome cover, nailed it!
Thank you Chroma! 🙏
Pretty much nailed how it felt and sounded in my head as a kid. 🍺💪
This fr sounds like Metroid movie trailer theme. 🔥🔥🔥
Omg that's awesome. Glad I found your channel. 👍🏿
Hey thanks so much, I appreciate the support 🙏
Wow, I just found your channel and I'm in love. One of my favorite songs of all time, and you've covered it such a unique way. Have a sub, and keep up the awesome work.
Hey Vypermajik, thanks so much for the kind words and sub! Glad you enjoyed it, welcome to the channel! :)
I kinda dig the distorting effect before the song "loops", eheh. The main notes are spot on, and the sci-fi noises as a backing track are a great touch!
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words and feedback :)
Amazing cover, one of my favorite vg songs to play.
Thanks so much! :)
