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!
Replaying this multiple times, I imagine myself seeing Samus traveling up a fiery volcano preparing to dive into the fiery depths.
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!
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 one of those times the TH-cam algorithm does it's job REALLY WELL.
This is exquisite!
Thanks!
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
These two tunes really go well with one another
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
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.
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
Goosebumbs and crying now... Reporting video for making me shed tears..
The feels. I got goosebumps. Well done. I'm going to share this one with my wife.
Motherfucking amazing.
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 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!
11 Years.....
STILL BADASS AS HELL!!!!!
I just came from your site and I cant believe you did all of this from your Roland! Hats off to you sir!!!
+SamoStudios Your music is beautiful
Metroid is the only thing that can help me when I am incredibly sad and this music is a great expression of it
This is the best remix I've ever heard of the Kraid's Lair track so far. Astounding work at all!
Red Soil is the greatest VG track ever made.
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've scoured TH-cam for orchestrated Metroid songs and this one is still my favourite.
Such an amazing track
The two best songs of Metroid! :D Great! Abo!
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
still such a top tier remix!
I love listening to this song.
If there was ever a Metroid live action film coming out, this would be perfect for the opening trailer. Excellent job!
Oh man the kick up at the end was legit
[Scan INCOMPLETE]
Actually this song- and the other Metroid remixes I composed, are all available for download on my website ;)
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.
so epic with the tuba on the brinstar theme at the end!
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?
Heard my little brother playing this album. Now I've never played a Metroid game but wow these tracks are SUBLIME!
This my friend is beyond brilliant.
I have no words for this masterpiece~
It's a fantastic piece of music. I could hear it all day long.
2020 and this is still my favourite Metroid remix
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.
Quite pleasant. I really like the original theme, this is a nice remix.
I get tingles. Fantastic job on this, whoever responsible!
Notyour Business Thank you, and that would be me :)
All I can say is...beautiful. This is so beautiful.
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
@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 :)
excellent work !
@LordIronHat Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
So many memories. Awesome stuff!
I'm a huge fan of orchestral music, and the Metroid series in general, and I have got to say-
This is one of the greatest combinations of the two I've heard in my entire life. The song you have created captures the dark and unsettling nature of original song and setting, and then goes one step further by infusing it with a highly theatrical, bombastic change over, that only adds up to me declaring that this...
...is simply the most rousing and inspired Metroid remix I've ever heard.
My ears just went on a journey.
This is really really cool, im a huge metroid fan and this is just serving me my cup of metroid tea ty sir :DD
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.
incredible, wonderful, the discharge of the trumpets at the end, they took a great work and transformed it into a beauty!
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!!
the theme of kraids lair has always given me goosebumps, and then this interpretation comes along and make them explode. amazing.
oh my!! this is absolutely breathtaking!!
Wow...that was just beautiful.
This is so brilliant! Great job!
Incredible work. I'm blown away.
Absolutely blew me away! I love this! :)
can't get enough of that.
hope you keep it up!
fantastic.
This is incredible. Fantastic job!
Beautiful job Sam.
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.
Amazing!
Bravo, outstanding work sir. 10/10!
Thank you, very enjoyable version!
Brings tears to my eyes thank you!
this has got to be one of the most well orchestrated songs I've ever listened to.
epic work, completely blown away in astonishment!!!
this is totally underrated ! my two favorites in one, thanks a lot !
Haha thanks, good to know people still like this one
Pure 🔥🔥🔥
This is the best remix of Kraid's lair hands down.
This completely blew me away! I knew how good you were but you just surpassed that. What an incredible effort! Great job! :)
this song is amazing! Definitely the best VG song cover I've ever heard.
This gave me goospumps i could feel on my feet!
Totally subscribed! This is amazing! :D
Pretty awesome, well done!
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
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.
Coolness from within
Holy shit, this is a freaking MASTERPIECE.
This is amazing keep it up!
this deserves so much more views
This is amazing! I'm going to have to improve in my song writing skills to even come close to this. Thank you for setting a good example for my song writing skills. You will help me become a better musician in the long run. I appreciate your contribution to the world with this art.
1:35 Love that Lower Brinstar Bass. 😌
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.
The remix with the best personality. Great job :-)
I love how the remix also added simularity to the zero mission version with the choir part
I must say, this exceeded my expectations. Great work, keep up the work, and you've earned a sub here.
you got the spirit brother, great
Best I've EVER heard! of ANYTHING!
I've never heard anything like this before, this is amazing!
i feel like i'm getting a skytour through a magnificent underground mining kingdom
Sir in it is my duty to tell you that you are truly epic.
@gentleEvan
Thank you, I would actually love to score a Metroid film someday (or make one myself) but for now, I just have to pretend by making fan music hehe. I actually have another Metroid track done and am working on another, with a CG video intro, I'll try to get it posted soon, thanks again for the comments :)

Oh good, the picture IS moving. I thought I was going nuts.
