Agh, such a linear stage after that first level in the funeral. So hard to see approaching enemies due to the fog, but oh well, hardware limitations.

Great job who ever took the time to do this song. How classic are the 8-bit hellhammer fills. Fucking great. I want this as my ring tone.

[3baxcb]

WTF? How did the creators of Wolfenstein and Doom neglect to put this in both games?

[jk47hm4]

Mayhem - Freezing moon

(Press Start)

[EroneousWaylay]

Mad kudos on getting that solo! I mean, Euronymous was no Ihsahn to be sure, but that solo is still pretty epic/incomprehensible.

[dbpc666]

I agree with DartKrattus except that there is some pretty superficial Black Metal that shouldn't be listened to by anyone, and that most people who listen to well composed black metal only get a glimpse of what's going on. Also your mind should "get" the music automatically, like when you don't need to think about how to walk, it just happens after you learned it.

[fatpoke420]

this is totally a dungeon song! and @1:36 is when the huge boss battle begins!

[sicness0]

Do you know where can i download this midi ??

[ActiveThink]

Ja....very Dark 8-bit music!

[Bludcross]

I guess it's true that black metal is nerdy.

[DarthKrattus]

@Bludcross Black metal = geek rock

[ZTOID]

@DarthKrattus Geek? Black metal is freaky but not geek LMFAO

[DarthKrattus]

@ZTOID Well, I mean, it's music for thinkers - it can't be enjoyed superficially because it's not catchy; it needs to be analyzed on deeper levels by intelligent minds. That's why the same people who listen to black metal often listen to classical music and other intricate forms of art. That's why I called it "geek rock."

[Nocturnuz]

@DarthKrattus That's actually not true. I love black metal, but no, it doesn't need much analysis in most cases. And don't be pretending people who listen to black metal are intelligent almost by definition. Reading the lyrics of many prominent black metal bands destroys this illusion.

[EroneousWaylay]

@Nocturnuz On the one hand, you have Mayhem, which (particularly Dead-era) was very dark and really quite poetic, but not necessarily intellectual. On the other hand, you have Absu, whose lyrics send your average undergrad Sumerologist crying to the reference library every three or four words. :P

[Nocturnuz]

@EroneousWaylay I won't deny that there are very beautiful, layered and difficult lyrics out there, but still, in most cases it doesn't go that deep, often the grammar isn't even correct (read Enthroned's lyrics, just for a laugh xD)

[DarthKrattus]

@Nocturnuz I don't know about that. Most black metal lyrics are very philosophical. Compare them to mainstream love songs, very superficially written lyrics. To truly understand black metal, you've got to have listened to a variety of different musical genres beforehand or you've got to have had a musical background.

[Nocturnuz]

@DarthKrattus When I read the lyrics to for example 'Freezing Moon,' there's nothing there that really makes me think about 'the big questions.'They're pretty much how most black metal lyrics sound to me, just painting a dark picture. And often times that's all I need to hear when I actually make out what they're singing, or read along. I'm not saying that black metal by definition is unphilosophical or thoughtless at all, but to say that it's 'music for thinkers' by definition, that's too much.

[DarthKrattus]

@Nocturnuz Listen to Emperor - they're very philosophical and introspective. The intro track on their first album, "Into the Infinity of Thoughts" is a fine example of this.

[DarthKrattus]

@Nocturnuz Also, intelligence is not the sole quality of geeks. Geeks are also social outcasts and dissidents - and black metal attract these types of people. Although the musicians themselves may not be geeks, the listeners of it often are.

[Nocturnuz]

@DarthKrattus Like I said, I don't deny the fact that black metal CAN BE philosophical or touch upon subjects many people don't know much about (such as old religions), but more often than not it's not. To me, in most cases, the lyrics aren't important. Singing technique of course is, but I don't mind one bit that Gorgoroth makes such an effort to keep their lyrics unpublished, and I don't think you do either.

[DarthKrattus]

@Nocturnuz I actually do mind. King Ov Hell has stated that it's more about their message than their music, and it irritates me that I don't know what they're saying, which is why I don't listen to them. However, bands like Bathory, Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, and Darkthrone, among others, DO have intelligent lyrics that require some thought. You cited "Freezing Moon" as an example otherwise, but the rest of the songs on that album are really intelligently written - even containing Latin lyrics.

[Nocturnuz]

@DarthKrattus I'm sorry, but I just don't agree. The other lyrics on that album don't stimulate much more than 'Freezing Moon' does. 'Life Eternal' contains a question that might hint at philosophy, but it's not impressive at all. The fact that there's some Latin there proves nothing, of course. The use of Latin is limited to one song, which on the whole sounds extremely over the top.

[DarthKrattus]

@Nocturnuz Number 1: You completely ignored my other point that there are other factors that make up a "geek" besides a mere interest in knowledge.

Number 2: You completely ignored my other point about all of the other bands I mentioned.

It seems that you're not even listening to what I'm saying, just throwing useless attacks on this album, based on "I just don't agree." I'm sick of arguing with people like you over the internet. It's like the special olympics.

[Nocturnuz]

@DarthKrattus Number 1: I never wanted to argue the geekiness of Black Metal, I was simply talking about you claim that it was 'music for thinkers.' I agree that listeners of black metal are likely to be social outcasts, but it seemed irrelevant to the discussion.

Number 2: you're just throwing names in my face. I own 'Under A Funeral Moon' by Darkthrone (and 'F.O.A.D' and 'Dark Thrones and Black Flags,' but those aren't really BM anymore), and I don't see anything more than dark imagery.

[Nocturnuz]

@Nocturnuz I own 'Pure Holocaust' and 'All Shall Fall' by Immortal, and neither of those do anything more than that in my humble opinion. I don't have any Emperor or Bathory yet, so if there's a well of philosophical insight there, I wouldn't know. One thing you must know, however. I'm not 'attacking' the bands or Black Metal in general. I love it, I love the romanticising of evil, Satan, individuality and the epicness of it. I'm sorry if I sound demeaning to you, that's not my intention.

[DarthKrattus]

@Nocturnuz It seemed that way. Firstly, Dark Thrones and Black Flags is not a black metal album. Secondly, yes, many songs paint imagery - but they do so in poetic and creative ways. "Kaatharian Life Code" gives a desert-like setting and speaks of a fictional ancient society, "Transilvanian Hunger" talks about ancient Romania, and as far as Immortal goes - listen to their later albums, like At the Heart of Winter.

[Nocturnuz]

@DarthKrattus Glad we got that out of the way :) I did already say that those new albums I own by Darkthrone weren't black metal, however. I'm glad we can agree on something here, the fact that many songs simply paint a dark picture, without (much) philosophical weight. And I also agree that some of those pictures are quite beautiful. To say it's all creative and poetic would be too much of a leap, though, I'd say. But hey, at this point I think we can simply agree to disagree.

[Nocturnuz]

@DarthKrattus I do have one more question. Are the lyrics really so all-important? Do you really not listen to Gorgoroth because you don't have the lyrics to their songs? That would be such a shame, because really, they are one of my favourite black metal bands.

[rashadpwnzuall]

Sounds just like the boss music for Megaman or Castlevania!

[TRUSTLBLACKMETAL]

ive been listening to these for a while now. it just makes every son that much better. could this be the future of bm? lol

[Oni64]

@TRUSTLBLACKMETAL ur on to something lol

[TRUSTLBLACKMETAL]

@Oni64 guilty

[6th0r6]

Easily the most fitting of 8-bit covers I've heard, manages to keep alot of the atmosphere that made the original so great.

I'm finding 8-bit songs so addictive these days...

[KSava]

Play this and the original at the same time.

[skuul666]

lol can you imagine Mario with corpsepaint :D

[csehszlovakze]

let me guess: you picked a Guitar Pro tab, exported it as MIDI, played it in some sequencer and recorded it. Right?

BTW, what sequencer?

[beefMERCIFUL]

easily the truest marriage of metal and 8 bit so far. some 8 bit covers fail to bring out anything new or are just inferior to the original, but this is what it's about.

[cannibalcorpse5678]

sounds like a pipe organ for the first min :D 5/5

[Thefilthyblood]

Super mayhrio bros:Freezing Galaxy.

[horthh]

Super Norwegian Bros. 2: The Burning Churches

[TheClassicalLiberal]

Someone should make a black metal themed side scrolling game

[JudgeMetal]

The production actually sounds better in 8-bit.

[TFC197]

"Because if it isn't recorded in your basement with a $20 mic, and if it's not mixed in GarageBand, then you've failed at making a kvlt band." -Euronymous

[Belphybear]

I can see the villain finally casting his ultimate move before the heroes could stop him, and this plays in the background. >:D

[quin89szatan]
