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.
+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?
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.
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
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
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!
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 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).
@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 :)
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
@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 :) -Sam
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.
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

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.
Replaying this multiple times, I imagine myself seeing Samus traveling up a fiery volcano preparing to dive into the fiery depths.
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
This is one of those times the RUclips algorithm does it's job REALLY WELL.
This is exquisite!
Thanks!
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!
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
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
Motherfucking amazing.
this is like the most amazing thing ever when you just randomly look up a remix lol. seriously though, amazing job.
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!
SalsaSpartan7 ANIME
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..
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
I just came from your site and I cant believe you did all of this from your Roland! Hats off to you sir!!!
11 Years.....
STILL BADASS AS HELL!!!!!
Amazing! No, words cant do this any justice
Such an amazing track
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 love listening to this song.
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.
still such a top tier remix!
These two tunes really go well with one another
+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!
The two best songs of Metroid! :D Great! Abo!
Red Soil is the greatest VG track ever made.
I've scoured RUclips for orchestrated Metroid songs and this one is still my favourite.
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!

@@magdiel6709 its still good nevertheless
13 years later, roughly. Still up in the top 5 remixes of both songs, at the very least. Still a classic!
@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 :)
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
incredible, wonderful, the discharge of the trumpets at the end, they took a great work and transformed it into a beauty!
[Scan INCOMPLETE]
Actually this song- and the other Metroid remixes I composed, are all available for download on my website ;)
This my friend is beyond brilliant.
I have no words for this masterpiece~
Pure 🔥🔥🔥
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.

2020 and this is still my favourite Metroid remix
Quite pleasant. I really like the original theme, this is a nice remix.
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.
the theme of kraids lair has always given me goosebumps, and then this interpretation comes along and make them explode. amazing.
can't get enough of that.
hope you keep it up!
fantastic.
this song is amazing! Definitely the best VG song cover I've ever heard.
this is totally underrated ! my two favorites in one, thanks a lot !
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.
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!
This completely blew me away! I knew how good you were but you just surpassed that. What an incredible effort! Great job! :)
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.
Heard my little brother playing this album. Now I've never played a Metroid game but wow these tracks are SUBLIME!
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.
this has got to be one of the most well orchestrated songs I've ever listened to.
So many memories. Awesome stuff!
epic work, completely blown away in astonishment!!!
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.
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.
This is really really cool, im a huge metroid fan and this is just serving me my cup of metroid tea ty sir :DD
My ears just went on a journey.
Incredible work. I'm blown away.
@CrystalDay
Thank you for the comment, I'm happy that you liked it. I'm currently working on some more songs of this series too XD
so epic with the tuba on the brinstar theme at the end!
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.

@LordIronHat Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Oh man the kick up at the end was legit
This is so brilliant! Great job!
excellent work !
This is incredible. Fantastic job!
I must say, this exceeded my expectations. Great work, keep up the work, and you've earned a sub here.
Should be "arranged" not composed by. That honor belongs to Hirokazu Tanaka. Great arrangement!
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.
The remix with the best personality. Great job :-)
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?
@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 :)
-Sam
Wow...that was just beautiful.
Brings tears to my eyes thank you!
This is amazing keep it up!
Thank you, very enjoyable version!
oh my!! this is absolutely breathtaking!!
I've never heard anything like this before, this is amazing!
Beautiful job Sam.
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.
Bravo, outstanding work sir. 10/10!
Absolutely blew me away! I love this! :)
This is the best remix of Kraid's lair hands down.
Haha thanks, good to know people still like this one
1:35 Love that Lower Brinstar Bass. 😌
I love how the remix also added simularity to the zero mission version with the choir part
this deserves so much more views
This is better than any Rap or "Popular" Song I have ever heard. This guy needs the musical equivalent to an Oscar.
omg i love it very nicely done very calming and soothign i fell asleep to this almost
Listening to this while miniature painting 👌
@ChozoGal
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! XD
Totally subscribed! This is amazing! :D
Absolutely epic. I'd love to see the real Metroid move with such a soundtrack.
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
Amazing!
Sir in it is my duty to tell you that you are truly epic.
