SRCM #3: Dark Lich Returns (Secret of Mana Remix)

Finally! This one took me a while but just by the nature of the song it was fun to do. It's a cover of the Dark Lich battle, also called "The Oracle", from Secret of Mana. Honestly, I've never played Secret of Mana, but I wanted a challenge and when I heard this song on youtube I just HAD to cover it. It doesn't mimic the actual song exactly, that is, there are some nuances, but I wasn't going for a perfect replica in the first place so yeah =p

Note: The track's also on newgrounds, where you can rate/review it AND download the mp3 file.

Anyways, hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!

Also, don't forget to check out the progress of Megaman Battle Network Chrono X, the awesome megaman battle network fangame for which I'm writing the music.

What program did you use? I love the powerful sound, which you used for the main melody from 0:18 to 0:32. I need to know really!

[SoulRed12]

@TidusUltima I use Garageband on my Mac for all my tracks.

ooh, I like this one. What it lacks in creepiness it makes up in intensity. After all, the Dark Lich fight is one of the more difficult ones, much more so than the Mana Beast. The track yells at you "kill him kill him kill him already omg!". The original one whispers in your ear "You're gonna die slowly and painfully"

[SoulRed12]

@RaithGuy :D your comment made me lul. Thanks!

You know, if they did a Secret of Mana remake for like, the Wii or DS, this should be in it.

[SoulRed12]

@jadescarab83 That's a great compliment, thank you :D

[Umbreonvision]

Haha, didn't think a remix of this would sound better or even close to the original, this is fantastic dude, kudos do you!

This song might be magolor soul in extra mode and true arena from return to dreamland, man you guys knew because magolor reminds me of this boss.that should be last battle of return to dreamland.

[JTPlaya22]

this is actually pretty contra'esque

[gatchAttk]

sounds like two sumo wrestlers dukin it out, not enough of the sorcerer hissing onf of the original.

[drudan43]

[robloxfan459]

[Apkalopsen]

Nice work on this cover. More tracks like this pls ;)

[Galedries]

Yeah Awesome Remix to Thanatos!

[Dhaos99]

Its not bad, but it needs a crazier bass line it sounds too smooth n clear,a more "noisy" like bass line would be epic =)
