Legend of Mana - The Darkness Nova (remix)

- I said something along the lines of "Afterburner next week". By Afterburner, of course, I meant Legend of Mana. I suddenly remembered I had this song on the back burner, and everything lined up perfectly: Had some time off from work, had access to an awesomely well-made midi by Zagro, and a pretty good excuse to do nothing but write music. Thanks to all of that, I was able to finish this project in just a little over 24 hours. Works out pretty well, too, since my weekend's completely booked up and I'll be away both Thursday and Friday due to work.
Anyway, for once, I think this arrange kicks ass. There are a few niggles here and there, synths being one and the orchestral stuff being another, but overall I'm really happy with how this turned out and even happier with how quickly I was able to finish it.
Afterburner next week. (for real this time. ;p)

This is the BEST version I've ever heard of this one!!! I hope you continue to arrange Legend of Mana music, it's a game that's entirely about love that rarely gets any back. Thank you.
I love that darn game! So what if the remake coming out this year isn't a major overhaul like former Mana remakes - I'm still buying it! I mean - Legend of Mana on the Switch? Heck yeah! I got the Switch Lite, so that means Legend of Mana everywhere and anywhere! And the soundtrack was so boss! We can all thank Miss Yoko Shimomura for that. Great game, even if it wasn't like Secret of Mana.
@@AgdaFingers Totally! I've bought it with every release and I'm not missing this one!!!
I’m only passingly familiar with the game, but since you mentioned love, I recall hearing that the dark side of love is quite prominent here. How true is that?
@@zacharyjoy8724 that's for you to decide! Of the 3 arcs only 1 has a happy ending
@@Efylan Is that the Best Ending?
You've got a remix of Darkness Nova?! Holy cow I can't believe this has been sitting here for two years and I never saw it. This is a criminally underrated track.
Woah, your approach to orchestral rock is mind boggling. Keep rockin on stone, now to repeat this a few hundred more times.
Not going to lie, probably the best cover I have ever heard. The quality is so superb, the bass is so strong, but not intrusive, the rhythms and melodies are so wonderful and catchy; overall just a wonderful rendition. My hat goes off to you, sir. Keep up the excellent work! :P
The guitar is clearly too quiet during the solo...
Wow, impressive! I never really found any remixes of Legend of Mana, and this is a pleasure to hear. Thank you!
yw :>
Legend of Mana is so good... excellent work as always!
My sir, I tip my mask for you. This is top-notch.
Oh my God, you are my hero for making a cover for this theme, almost nobody does!
Criminally underviewed? Understatement of the century.
Masterpiece. God bless you! ♥️
Oh my god...a remix for not only one of the most underrated games ever, but also of my favorite games too....and it sounds so Fucking amazing ToT
you never disappoint, good job!
I just wanted to see if there was a legend if mana trance metal song lol so I found this. Excellent!!!!
I love how this song has its moments when the melody lightens up, and you get this sense of calmness - making you feel like everything is going to be okay, and then it kicks back into the familiar, frantic beat. It’s just like how the boss fights were in Legend’s story arcs. The bosses would enter, create utter chaos and just when you think the fight is well in hand... rattles off a special for extreme damage. I like this version better than the original though as it brings out more of that tension.
Underrated song and soundtrack. Nicely done
WOOOOOOOOO, PUMPING THESE TUNES OUT!!!!
I'm in love with this remix.
Mr.McKnuckle you have made my day.
Adding the background choir just makes me think this track belongs with an epic rivalry battle.
Well done mate! This is the reason Im a subscriber!
awesome
Great work as always man.
The nostalgia is real.
Holy lord, came across this randomly but well done on a legend of mana song! insta subscribe.
Man i love you
If the game ever came back remastered, this should be the frekin boss theme!!
Perfect for when you need something to be completed under 5 minutes!
dude what is this insane guitar tone?
this music kick ass!
Great remix
It’s like F-Zero TWEWY and Darkstalkers had a badass Metal of a baby
I'd love to hear you make a remix of "Irwin on Reflection"!
Irwin on Reflection is such a badass track!
Another day to endure the wrath of my raging hard diamond nipples. Ah well, it's so worth it. * ^*
+Kiritsune LOL!
Son here, hot.
This is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't see all your work here, but have you ever done a Pokemon remix?
I like your remixes a lot and I would be happy to see a badass remix of a Pokemon soundtrack like Lance or something
Sorry, but I've never played a single Pokémon game so there's a very good chance I'll never do any tracks from that franchise. Eventually I might drop this arbitrary restriction I've set on myself since I barely have enough free time to enjoy games anymore, but we'll see.
More Legend of Mana! :D
I've already done my two favorite songs from this game, so probably not. I'd very much like to do some Secret of Mana or SeiDen3 songs though!
Remix Irwin on Reflection this is a great track :D
Irwin on refection is my absolute favorite!
Ever tried remixing a "Golden sun" track? They're super epic so i want you to make them godlike champ ;)
Yo Stone! Really loving your remixes, keep doing what you're doing. I was just wondering if you have any plans to remix anything from Megaman 9. More specifically, I've been looking around for a good remix of Special stage/Fake Man stage and haven't been able to find one yet. Any plans on that? Of course, anything coming from you is appreciated.
+Lumpali I've got some more Megaman 9 planned, yeah, but unfortunately special stage isn't on the list. Sorry :/
wow～～～～～～～～～amazing！
Oh yeah. Smash Bros merit right here.
This is awesome !
I loved the piano part.
btw,can we use your songs in our videos (example: in the backgound of the audio) if we give credits to you ?
+Brufaca Of course.
+Stone McKnuckle thx man .
btw,do you record everything and then put them on the same track , or you make it with a music software ?
+Brufaca make them*
I use FL 12, and no, nothing is recorded.
+Stone McKnuckle thx o/
😮
BTW I'm low key promoting your music on one of my videos! :D I put a link in case people want to know where to find and hear your music! Cheers!
+Machine Master Nice, thanks ;>
最高！！
Hey stone, I was wondering if you're planning to do anymore of magaman x remixes?
+MrTwister1999 You bet.
+Stone McKnuckle thnx :)
Nice.
Amazing! plz, PLZ! Battletoads...
Spotify?
while I definitely like the overall composition, the melody is somewhat buried.
the mix is pretty busy for sure and probably a bit overcompressed but it still actually sounds really good to me. got really lucky with this one~
Stone McKnuckle yeah, it's pretty good, I would just say bring the melody up a bit more? some tracks are just naturally busy, I guess.
SMH The originals 10x better🤦♂️
