GaMetal XIV Full Download!
Added 2025-02-11 17:54:44 +0000 UTCHey Patrons, here's your early download for the 2024 compilation album, XIV!
GaMetal XIV Download Folder
The folder linked to above contains folders for the MP3 and WAV downloads (almost no one downloads the AAC version I used to provide, but it will be available on BandCamp later for those who still prefer that version) as well as two folders of all of 2024's song artwork in full quality, (one folder with GaMetal logo and song titles, other folder without logos/titles).
(For those unfamiliar with DropBox, you can download a folder by hovering over it and selecting Download to the right, then 'Or continue with download only' at the bottom, you don't have to login to anything.)
Like recent years, the song order is arranged in a combination of 2024 release order and series (some series moved later), so Mario songs are alongside each other, Kirby songs alongside each other, etc.
"Disc 2" has this year's bonus tracks. I have 4 for you this time:
Flying Battery Zone (Sonic & Knuckles) (2025 Remaster)
Captain Falcon (F-Zero GX/AX) (Instrumental Arrangement)
Someday (The World Ends With You) (Instrumental Arrangement)
Waiting For You (Silent Hill 4: The Room) (Instrumental Arrangement)
Additionally, I have created a very small bonus intro track at the beginning of the album. I did this so I can use the actual album art created for the first song (in the case of 2024, Pizza Time) instead of having to assign the album artwork to it (a requirement to get the album art to show up correctly in most players). I'm pretty sure everyone will recognize it. ๐
Like last year, all of the license-able 2024 songs for streaming services are already up as singles, but this album will still be submitted as a compilation of those songs, along with the bonus tracks (all except Captain Falcon should go through). The album will be released publicly on the GaMetal Bandcamp page later this evening. Other file formats will be available from there as well.
I hope you enjoy GaMetal XIV!
PS: XIV Album art by Kelsey Peterson (nintendonut1), this year's element is... Spirit/Ghost! ๐ป
PPS: Apologies for the delay, got tied up with a bunch of stuff over the weekend!

2025-03-03 18:33:34 +0000 UTCHey Wiley! To get a song on streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) I have to get a mechanical license for each song, and legally we can only get a mechanical license for a song if it's been released in the US by something like an official album or official digital release. I have a bit of a longer explanation on my site (question #2 https://www.jonnyatma.com/faq/ ) but that's the quick version. So unfortunately I can't get any M&L songs up (this law went into effect a few years ago which is why I have some older covers up) until we get an official release in the US from Nintendo, at the moment our best bet is crossing our fingers for a Nintendo Music app release. ๐ค๐ผ

2025-03-03 17:40:05 +0000 UTCHow come not all of these songs made it onto Spotify? Specifically the bowsers inside story song?

2025-03-03 04:26:21 +0000 UTCIntentional! The way I made the album art, I felt it didn't really need a logoless version.

2025-02-13 01:46:04 +0000 UTCLooking through the files, I notice that Metal Beat is missing a logoless version of its album art. Is that intentional, or did it just get lost in the shuffle?

2025-02-12 02:02:33 +0000 UTCNote to those who want AAC and planning to get it through Bandcamp: the download Bandcamp gives for AAC is only 128kbps. You are better off downloading the WAV and making your own high-quality high-bitrate version. If you want high quality AAC but not arsed to learn how, contact me on Discord via Jonny's server (same username). I'll serve that to you ASAP.
