Alright, routing issues are fixed – and I think all my web sites are back in working order.  Now to get back to business, I have found a great music source for those of you who love all the tunes from the various Metroid games and lovers of heavy metal alike.  Feast your ears on Metroid Metal.

It is a celebration and interpretation of the Metroid soundtrack all done in a heavy metal mindset.  This goes together like peanut butter and space pirate jelly. Right now I am in the process of downloading the 25 mp3s they have done thus far.  All your favorite Metroid games are covered here too.  They have done music from Metroid (NES), Super Metroid (SNES), Metroid 2 (GB) Metroid Prime (Gamecube), Metroid Prime 2 (Gamecube) and Metroid Prime 3 (Wii).

Go rock out to some heavy metal Metroid music at MetroidMetal.com.

Ridley’s Theme from Super Smash Bros Brawl (and Metroid)

Pit’s Theme from Kid Icarus

M. Bison’s Theme from Street Fighter

Dark World Theme from The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past

The Fanfare Music from Final Fantasy

The Super Mario Bros Theme (Well, DUH!)

Simon Belmont’s Theme from Super Castlevania IV

Samus’s Theme from ANY of the Metroid Games

Setzer’s Theme from Final Fantasy VI

The Overworld Theme from The Legend of Zelda

Did I miss an obvious choice?  Let me know!  Also, I want to point you towards SupraDarky’s YouTube page where he has tons of themes for you to listen to and enjoy.

metroid-wallpaper

They have both a 1024×768 version and a 2560×1600 version for you to use.  (source link)

Looks like the web site where these were hosted went down, however I did find the high-res version and uploaded it here.

Also, found another copy of it here, just in case.

Makes me want to fire up my version of Super Metroid I have on my Wii right now.  I was a big fan of the SNES version too (couldn’t tell you how many times I played it all the way through).

This time around I included both .png and .ico files (due to your suggestions last time around.)  Feel free to use them as you wish.  All that I ask is you subscribe to the feed!

The two icons are compatible with the following sizes:  256 x 256, 128 x 128, 64 x 64, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16.  Enjoy, and let me know if you like ‘em or not.  Might make a few more.
