Metroid- Kraids Lair / Red Soil Orchestrated (The Crimson Depths)

- This is a fusion between Kraid's Lair and the Red Soil themes from Metroid and Super Metroid, respectively. It's also a fusion of electronic and orchestral / choral composition. Not a standard techno remix, but more like how I would score a Metroid movie, if there was one hehe.
I wanted to keep the foreboding and mysterious tone of the originals, but give it more of a film score edge and an active feel. It gets more intense toward the end.
Based on the themes by Hip Tanaka and Kenji Yamamoto. Thanks for listening, please visit my site for more!

10 years later, and this remix is still absolutely amazing!
Oh wow the Orchestrated part chilled me to the bone.. This would be a perfect opening to like Prime 4. It will be a welcoming opening to such a awesome series.
I really wish they would return to Metroid 1 style compositions in general. They had a cinematic feel that was lost in Super Metroid and later games.
Super Metroid from the SNES..? I really liked the music from there aswell. I do agree with the later series tho. :)
Dennis No. Metroid NES.
This is why fan music should be put in more games
+Sparky Dood “YouAsshole” Not really because fans take the base track that was made by the developers THEN polish it in arguably something more awesome. But, the only reason the track is better is because the developers are not willingly to develop more games lol.
Orochimaru sama Yes, but think, do you really think that in the next Smash Bros. game, or maybe even the next Metroid game, if a version of this song comes up, it'll be as good as the one here?
In all honestly, this is great to listen to, but won't fit well as game background music.
This would be nice for when the credits show up.
True dat but not all fan music
Easily the best remix of Kraid's Lair to this day, no question. The deep, powerful horns really make this one for me. I don't know why more remixers don't use horns like this very often, it really gives the track a lot of extra gravitas and oomph.
Idk, the violin/rock one is a banger. And I don't even like rock!
Replaying this multiple times, I imagine myself seeing Samus traveling up a fiery volcano preparing to dive into the fiery depths.
This is one of those times the TH-cam algorithm does it's job REALLY WELL.
This is exquisite!
Thanks!
As a big metroid fan, I love this song so much. Red-Soil Brinstar and Kraid's lair go so well together here. The creepy atmosphere remains untouched. Heck, this paticular remix adds to the creepiness. Nicely done
the "ah, ah" got me in awe bro
These two tunes really go well with one another
Sam Dillard.... I Love You.
If Nintendo ever makes a Metroid Movie, I hope they get you to do the Music.
I am in LOVE with all of your Metroid Tracks.
Totally agree!

this is like the most amazing thing ever when you just randomly look up a remix lol. seriously though, amazing job.
Motherfucking amazing.
11 Years.....
STILL BADASS AS HELL!!!!!
The feels. I got goosebumps. Well done. I'm going to share this one with my wife.
Goosebumbs and crying now... Reporting video for making me shed tears..
I've listened to all manner of butchering of this song. I'm so glad this isn't one of them. Truly beautiful.
The version on Zero mission is one of them. Imo
@@mithenmedina540 wrong, zero missions is fire
lol
10 years later and here I am. Listening to this perfection of a cover, done by SamoStudios. I would not be surprised if you have secretly been hired by Nintendo-Retro Studios. This cover specifically could very well be in the ending credits of Metroid Prime 4
13 years later, roughly. Still up in the top 5 remixes of both songs, at the very least. Still a classic!
Amazing! No, words cant do this any justice
Absolutely beautiful. No idea where to begin. You took my theme song, Kraid's Lair, and Red Soil and made a beautiful combination and remix. Thank you.
I'm going around on youtube listening to different Metroid songs, sometimes cutting them off halfway. I stumbled upon this one. Now I'm beating the replay button.
I rarely ever hear an arrangement, orchestration, or remix of a video game theme that is as good as the source material, and you created something original in your derivation as well. Great job!
I just came from your site and I cant believe you did all of this from your Roland! Hats off to you sir!!!
This is the best remix I've ever heard of the Kraid's Lair track so far. Astounding work at all!
I love listening to this song.
Metroid is the only thing that can help me when I am incredibly sad and this music is a great expression of it
Red Soil is the greatest VG track ever made.
It's a fantastic piece of music. I could hear it all day long.
If there was ever a Metroid live action film coming out, this would be perfect for the opening trailer. Excellent job!
so epic with the tuba on the brinstar theme at the end!
+SamoStudios Your music is beautiful
still such a top tier remix!
Oh man the kick up at the end was legit
I've scoured TH-cam for orchestrated Metroid songs and this one is still my favourite.
The two best songs of Metroid! :D Great! Abo!
All I can say is...beautiful. This is so beautiful.
Listening to this while miniature painting 👌
This is really really cool, im a huge metroid fan and this is just serving me my cup of metroid tea ty sir :DD
So many memories. Awesome stuff!
Haha thanks, good to know people still like this one
Pure 🔥🔥🔥
excellent work !
I get tingles. Fantastic job on this, whoever responsible!
Notyour Business Thank you, and that would be me :)
This is the best remix of Kraid's lair hands down.
This my friend is beyond brilliant.
I have no words for this masterpiece~
epic work, completely blown away in astonishment!!!
incredible, wonderful, the discharge of the trumpets at the end, they took a great work and transformed it into a beauty!
WOW. This makes me wanna hook up the old snes i have and just bust through the game blasting this on the 12 speaker system i have laying in boxes around my living room
2020 and this is still my favourite Metroid remix
oh my!! this is absolutely breathtaking!!
I have such a nagging curiosity about that chanting when the melody goes back to "Kraid's Lair," though! Is it actually saying something in some language? Because I *_swear_* I can hear the word "Chozo" in there, it's driving me nuts!
And it goes without saying that this piece is utterly amazing. So cinematic! Those strings really take the elegance of the source material to a new level. And those little obviously-machine-made noises are a sweet contrast and a great _Metroid_-y touch. Your music is beautiful, sir/madam. An impressive feel befitting a giant reptilian monster rising up from the depths. Long live _Metroid_.
Considering this was very likely made with choral sample libraries, I'm guessing that they're simply an assortment of recorded syllables (that's how most vocal sample libraries work).
@@magdiel6709 its still good nevertheless
I get chills every time I hear this. Ive even played it on my college radio show a few times to let others know of the beauty that this piece holds.
2023, and it still gives me chills. Damn, this track rules.
Wow...that was just beautiful.
the theme of kraids lair has always given me goosebumps, and then this interpretation comes along and make them explode. amazing.
Amazing!
i feel like i'm getting a skytour through a magnificent underground mining kingdom
Major Movie Studio: Get John Williams to do the score for the Metroid movie.
Sam: Hold my beer.
Coolness from within
Really love it. Especially the chorus near the end.
You also could've had some trumpets to make the end more explosive, but hey! Great job
There are trumpets. At 4:09. They are digital.
My ears just went on a journey.
Absolutely blew me away! I love this! :)
The best remix in my mind, i knew that a orchestrated theme would be the best theme for this, truly the best theme of kraids lair yet, outstanding work on the theme
Holy shit, this is a freaking MASTERPIECE.
this has got to be one of the most well orchestrated songs I've ever listened to.
Best I've EVER heard! of ANYTHING!
This is incredible. Fantastic job!
this deserves so much more views
I really love what you did with these two songs, Sam. I always jam out to it when I'm driving and crank up the volume.
Thank you, very enjoyable version!
Beautiful job Sam.
this song is amazing! Definitely the best VG song cover I've ever heard.
Quite pleasant. I really like the original theme, this is a nice remix.
I'm yet to find a better version of Kraid's lair than this one, never managed to find a better one though, this one is able to send chills down any living being's spine, and the epic feel it have is just, just wow, it actualy makes me speechless everytime I do listen to it.
Great work Sam, can't wait for more of your songs, just checked the Chrono Trigger/Cross and the Xeno Cross ones, totaly worth buying the CDs.
@TheWaste0Time
Hehe thank you, I'm glad you liked my song! I'm working on another kinda dark Super Metroid piece at the moment, this time of Maridia :)
This completely blew me away! I knew how good you were but you just surpassed that. What an incredible effort! Great job! :)
Wow.... just, wow!!
Bravo, outstanding work sir. 10/10!
It's my favorite Metroid cover of the world !!!!!
Since I first heard it in Harmony of a Hunter
Have you listened to _Metroid - Kraid's Lair (Analog Synth remake)_ at all?
omg i love it very nicely done very calming and soothign i fell asleep to this almost
this is totally underrated ! my two favorites in one, thanks a lot !
If they ever make a Metroid movie, the soundtrack sure as hell better sound like this.
can't get enough of that.
hope you keep it up!
fantastic.
This gave me goospumps i could feel on my feet!
This is my favorite track on Harmony of a Hunter. I still get chills listening to it...
Also, I've shared this wonder a few times on my college radio station- because other ears must hear this.
Sir in it is my duty to tell you that you are truly epic.
Pretty awesome, well done!
i cant stop lissioning to this song.
Oh good, the picture IS moving. I thought I was going nuts.
Wow.. This is excellent! By far the best compilation I've heard for a Metroid remix in my opinion. Captures the excitement of old memories of my game play, and displays an emotional touch in the strings. 1:36 most leave that part out of their remixes, and so glad you incorporated it and made it amazing! Nice work dude.
As I stated with Kraid Begins, this is one of the most iconic songs in the game, and The Crimson Depths is, incomparably one of the best remixes of any game. This masterfully (and terrifyingly) captured the mystery of exploring a hostile and unknown world. For a series that, in my opinion, pioneered Survival Horror for its atmosphere and nuanced wordless story-telling, a song like Crimson Depths breaths a life into it that I think matches or even exceeds the original composer's wishes. Amazing!
this was fucking amazing love that you use the NES and SNES melody
Please, Please, PLEASE put this in 1080p!!!!! Such a great song should be presented at the best quality available! Any less would be a crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:35 Love that Lower Brinstar Bass. 😌
you got the spirit brother, great
If I had more time, I would have asked you for a piece of music for my title project (university's last and most important exam). Whatever it is, all your work is incredible.
This should be in a game, really. Amazing work!!
Incredible work. I'm blown away.
I just hit play and I know it’s gonna be good
Totally subscribed! This is amazing! :D
This is awesome
simply wonderfull :D
magnificent
