cromar Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I have downloaded quite a bit from this site from the last few years, but I haven't even scratched the surface. There is just too much content to walk through slowly. Can you recommend me a few artists? Specifically, I'm looking for metal remixes - heavy, prog, what have you. Some of my favorites are Luiza (big time), Danimal Cannon/Armcannon, Sixto Sounds, Goat, Stemage (all of Metroid Metal is fantastic), Braincells, and especially Game Over (Hyrule's Angel is one of my favorite songs, period). I'm sure I left a bunch out. I think I've gotten all the tracks by the above people (and I'm going to double check now), but are there any more great metal or rock artists here that I might be missing out on? Thanks for any recommendations. Quote
prophetik music Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 there's a song that i never knew about until recently that's quite good by the artist N-Jekted. only track he's ever contributed, as far as i know. great rock, right there. housethegrate's an excellent guitarist, as is OA. you also might want to wander over to vgmix and check out their DoD contest. there's always a lot of metalheads in there.

Emunator Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Ah yeah, you'd love Dwelling of Duels. A lot of the remixers you mentioned have submitted there, and the majority of the songs there are in the style that you'd probably like. http://dod.vgmix.com/index.php A few artist recommendations: Prince of Darkness Darengan SnappleMan Joren De Bruin Dr.Manhattan (from DoD; he's won 1st place in the last 4 competitions.)

Thanks. great ad, man, but you'll notice he was looking specifically for metal and rock stuff. if he wanted to sort through the general dross he'd have done that himself without posting to begin with.

prophetik music Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 how did i know luke would know all the good ones? Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 You will listen to Yggdrasil Speaks To Me and then you will put in a very good review in the reviews section. ..... NOW, YOU NUCLEAR TWIT! Quote
cromar Posted June 27, 2009 Author Posted June 27, 2009 Wow, thanks guys. That was fast! I looked through your list Epitaph and I only have 2 or 3 of those, so I better get cracking. Thanks for the heads up on DoD also guys. I have a few tracks from there but I didn't know what the label meant Quote
JCvgluvr Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I'm not sure about remixes here on OCremix, but have you heard of the band called Powerglove? Great metal remixes of game tunes. Quote
KyleJCrb Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah, Nekofrog should be checked out. Also, thank you tag system for making this question extremely easy to answer. http://www.ocremix.org/forums/tags.php?tag=rock http://www.ocremix.org/forums/tags.php?tag=guitar Not all of the songs on the site have tags, though. I'll have to fix that whenever Dave or Larry get around to giving me tagging permissions again. Quote
prophetik music Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I'm not sure about remixes here on OCremix, but have you heard of the band called Powerglove? Great metal remixes of game tunes. powerglove is excellent. their shows are incredibly entertaining. Quote
WillRock Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Fishy has some awesome metal remixes as well - http://www.ocremix.org/artist/4754/fishy Quote
Fishy Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Ha, you mean one. Wouldn't really describe the others as anything near metal. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I'm not sure about remixes here on OCremix, but have you heard of the band called Powerglove? Great metal remixes of game tunes. ArmCannon is 1000000000000000000x better I swear you're in my list somewhere. Edit: Yes, you are. Quote
Tensei Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I was just looking for an excuse to post that pic again. Quote
anosou Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I was just looking for an excuse to post that pic again. What pic? This pic? Quote
prophetik music Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 ArmCannon is 1000000000000000000x better are you ill? armcannon's live sound is nowhere near powerglove's sound, and the shredding on their respective latest album totally gives the direction to powerglove. not to mention that they actually arrange the songs occasionally, as opposed to MIDIcannon. Quote
Liontamer Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 are you ill? armcannon's live sound is nowhere near powerglove's sound, and the shredding on their respective latest album totally gives the direction to powerglove. not to mention that they actually arrange the songs occasionally, as opposed to MIDIcannon. Both bands are excellent. You don't have to like Armcannon, but you don't need to hyperbolically shit on them in order to make your point. You've clearly never heard Armcannon's stuff, including their latest album, if you're claiming they never use interpretation in their arrangements. We're not gonna get into a big dramarama over which band is better or the best. Quote

Errr, uh... Yeah, what Larry said. Quote
Guy In Rubber Suit Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I recommend House or housethegrate and his brother Ashane. They mostly do some great hard rock/metal remixes with the occasional jazz and samba arrangement here and there. Ryan8bit, particularly his later stuff which has gotten so much better and heavier. Of course you could also go the official route and get the Black Mages, hard rock/metal arranged music with Nobuo Uematsu doing the arrangements and keyboards. And there's Naoto Shibata who did some fantastic and some of the best metal arrangements of the Castlevania games. Finally, Taro Banno and Hajime Wakai doing fantastic rock arrangements, and my personal favorites of F-Zero X. Quote
prophetik music Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 edit: removed by me. dramarama my ass. opinion posts apparently don't exist any more. Quote
