I seriously think this is a pretty genius approach to a tune that has been done a million times. Still comes out sounding funky fresh.

Hey there. This is actually my first thread on the forums
 
tl;dr: Call (347) 826-3536 to hear "Guile's Theme Goes with Metal" over the phone.
 
I'm a developer evangelist at a company called Twilio, and I recently wrote a tutorial blog post on how to programmatically play music over the phone with some JavaScript. The example I used as the song to play over a phone call was the Guile's Theme Goes with Metal remix by Shinray. There's a nice shoutout to OCR at the end of the section where I describe how to set things up.
 
I thought maybe some of you would appreciate the idea of being able to call a phone number and hear Guile's Theme. Even if playing music over the phone does result in pretty low quality, I think there's some novelty value in there. If any of you are developers or wanted to set something like this up with other remixes, the code wouldn't be very involved and is all explained in my post.

Amazing performance.

Carcass started the whole 5150 thing with guitar tones for death metal, on the Heartwork album... they're a big reason why I have a 6505 right now. 

Yeah that's what it's all about! I think By Inheritance(the whole album) is pretty much a masterpiece. The riffs are insane! I sometimes get burned out on thrash, but that one will never get old to me. The vocals are very likely influenced by Dio to some extent. Once I get around to actually doing some remixes on here, I'll do one in a style similar to Artillery riff-wise. I think that would be pretty rad!
 
I noticed some talk of melodic death metal in here too(and Nase mentioned checking out In Flames). Not sure what era of In Flames you checked out, but if you dig their older stuff then you should definitely check out some At The Gates!
 
Slaughter of the Soul is a pretty well liked album among fans, and is pretty iconic when it comes to melodeath. I'd expect a lot of people to have heard this one anyway, but check it out if you haven't

Oh also another one of my favorites is Carcass! I'm a huuuge fan of their grind/death metal stuff(on Necroticism and Symphonies of Sickness), but if you're into melodeath at all, you'll love Heartwork! It's a pretty kick ass album, and has a bunch of awesome riffage. It's usually mentioned that this was the album that pretty much invented the style. It's much different than Carcass' earlier stuff, but I still dig it. It's like intense thrash/death metal riffs with a good amount of melody thrown into it.

 
 
 
That is some awesome stuff too! The vocals also remind me of Artillery, so the "screamy version of Dio" is starting to gain even more credibility haha. This one also kind of reminds me of Agent Steel's modern output. I think Omega Conspiracy was a pretty good comeback album, and that Nightmare track made me think of this for some reason.
 

 
Their earlier stuff sounded like a crazy, faster version of Judas Priest though. Insanely high pitched vocals haha.

Yo! Huge metalhead here, so it's cool to see this as the first post right after I made an account
 
Hollenthon is some pretty cool stuff. I haven't listened to them very much, but I dig how they mix the symphonic elements with actually good riffage. Too many bands fail to do that. It sort of reminds me of some of Therion's stuff. The vocals sometimes remind me of Dark Tranquility too.

Anyway, if you're looking for some metal recommendations for bands you might not have checked out, you should try listening to the thrash band Artillery! It isn't similar in any way to what you posted, but people have generally been pretty favorable when I recommended them in the past. You said you used to listen to thrash though, so maybe you've already heard them. The vocals are vaguely operatic with some grit to them, and the riffs are just technical enough.
