Patrons, it's August, and around these parts, that means it's Patreon Appreciation Month!
We're now 9 years into the GaMetal Patreon campaign that allowed me to start making music full time, and once again I must express my sincerest gratitude to all of you for not only helping to make this happen in the first place, but for continuing to allow me to do this for so long! There've been many Patrons here over the years, some may only start for a month or two, but there ar...

Hey Patrons!
Here's a quick preview of the next song up, the Main Theme from Ghost Trick. I should be finished with this one either tonight or tomorrow with the video up the following day.
I was hoping to get another 3 songs in before August, but my late start this month due to my move is making that rather difficult. Two more will come for sure (Esaka? will follow Ghost Trick), the next will likely be an early August song.

My 3 week late birthday pick song for the year is finally here: Reproduction of Power from La-Mulana 2!

We're officially back in action after my move with today's latest song, The Battle of Lil' Slugger from Super Meat Boy!
A super shreddy song that I probably should've done in the early years of GaMetal. But I'm glad I waited (those solos are ROUGH lol).
Big Patreon stream today! I had to delay our usual 5th of the month stream because of my moving situation, so we'll be adding a song from the Patreon Request List, and we'll a...

Hey Patrons! Just wanted to give you all a quick update now that I'm able to.
After a hellacious moving process (hence the lack of 5th song last month), we're almost finished moving into our new place! I should be able to get back to working on things sometime in the middle of the week.
Since everything has been taking a lot more time than I anticipated, I'm going to have to adjust a few dates. Firstly, I've extended the date for the 2024 GaMetal Song...

Yohohoho! It's time to battle Cortez from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door!
As you Patrons know, I had planned this song before the remake released, but had to put it off to work on the May Madness songs. I'm glad I did, because the remake version, in my opinion, absolutely sweeps the original. As such, this arrangement is mostly based on the new version from the remake, with some elements of the original re-incorporated.
I'm going to be offline for most of the rest of the wee...

Metal Beat from Metal Masters, from the list of Lebon14! I don't know anything about this game tbh but the song is a cool one.
My handpicked choice for the month is:

We're reaching the end of Medley Song Madness (if I call it that I can pretend it's not a May-only event 😅), and here's the other song from the Patreon-exclusive category of "Other/Misc Medleys" that you all voted for: Stardust Speedway Bad Future JP from Sonic CD!
I incorporated elements from various arrangements of this song, from the Original, Mania, and Generations.
Two more medley songs to go, they'll both be headed your way very soon...
