Here's your early download for the next song up: Kraid's Lair (Brinstar Depths) from Metroid!
I've based this arrangement mostly on the Zero Mission and SSB Melee versions, with just a smidge of the SSBU version (which kicks ass, but I didn't want to just make a soundalike of ...

I'll be out tomorrow, so I should have this one ready on Monday. Till then, enjoy! 🙂

2024-04-19 20:09:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons, I have an important update post for you today! Before we get into May Madness discussion, a couple of quick things to note:
For those of you that aren't part of the GaMetal Discord (come join us some time!), we recently held a Request Battle event that was themed around NES songs. That battle ended the other day and the winner was:

A TON of synth work in this one. I tried my best to keep up with Vince DiCola. 😅

Here's your early download for the next song up: the Main Theme of Angry Birds Transformers.
Was trying to have this finished a couple of days ago, but it was a tough one! Really put my synth work skills to the test.
Video for this one should be ready either...

I'm just about done with the next song, Angry Birds Transformers, so here's a preview for you! I should have the early DL ready tomorrow with the video up this weekend.
On the update front, I just wanted to confirm that May Madness voting will begin after the ABT video goes up, and as a reminder from the recent update post, we'll be doing things slightly different this year, I'll fill you in when it's time. 😉
Till next time!
2024-04-11 14:27:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons! I've got a few new acoustic shorts for you today:
We All Lift Together (Warframe) for Alex B.
Above the Clouds (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)* for Kiravin
Mog's Theme (Final Fantasy VI)* for X-hog
The Frostlands (Octopath Traveler) for ColdFusion (JDR)
Hey Patrons, here's a recap of the song chosen during today's stream for anyone who missed it!
The song chosen to go on the to-do list today was:
Arrow of Time from Cassette Beasts, from the list of Zach Arbogast! I don't know too much about this game to be honest, but I've seen requests for it pop up from time to time. Should be a fun one!

2024-04-05 20:06:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons, here's your first April update post!
I fell a little bit behind in March due to the DS Medley taking up so much time, but that's alright, I was still able to get that April Fools special out on the 1st, which was the most important thing.
Nonetheless, I'm once again determined to get this to-do list mostly cleared out before we head into May.
The current to-do list is now:
April: Main Theme (Angry Birds Transformers)
And this year's April Fools Day special is... the Boss Battle theme from Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure!
This is one that gets brought up to me by multiple people every April, and since I didn't have a song lock in mind, I felt this would be a good year to get it done.
Plus it's legitimately an awesome song.

DS Medley ended up taking up a lot more time to finish up than I had anticipated (a common occurence with medleys), so I fell a little bit behind this month... but that's alright, we have April coming up soon to make up for it!

Hey folks, just finished up the video for the special track made for the recently released GaMetal Power Pack #2 for Clone Hero and other Guitar Hero-likes: a shred-fest over Battle to the Death from Final Fantasy VI!
I was originally only going to do the musical portion for the video and not the solo showdown, but I had a late change of heart (Miscellany also encouraged me to do it lol). It was tough as hell relearning all of this!
