➤ VGM request by Sean A (Chaotic Meatball).

I had such a blast working on this theme! The original incorporates so many wacky melodies and non-melodic passages which really challenged me to try and re-create that on guitar.

A huge aspect about the original battle theme is that there's a lot of "behind the scenes" type of counterpoints happening behind the main melodies which I had to pick and choose wisely what I wanted to feature in my metal version because I didn't have as much sonic space in my version due to my huge rhythm guitars that I added. I felt like I had to use only the ones that needed to be there and I left a few behind and replaced tthem with my ownn riff ideas!

When we get into the main chorus part of the arrangement, that's when I had a blast laying down some crushing C# riffage and got to jam as hard as I could!

Overall I had a ton of fun working on this and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! Thanks so much for watching!

The best part of Black and White 2 made even better!! Amazing job, sir!

[KitaBFawkes]

While it sounds great... This cover is missing the most iconic thing about Colress' theme: His rocket launch countdown. Along with Ghetsis, this was the precursor to us having other vocal pieces in later battle tracks. (Gen VII Champion/Title Defense)

[walktroughman]

My favourite track from BW2, made into a lovely metal cover!!!! Oooh I was waiting so long for this, thank you so much for making my day!

[stridertempxa]

My favorite Admin boss theme. That intro always gives me chills, and so did yours. Thank you.

[multimangsteen]

They said Pokémon can't be metal..
However, I disagree!!

[Atomic_Rat]

This is great, however... Actually it's perfect

[randomdude]

[ToxicAtom]

I could never imagine this song as a rock mix. This is AMAZING.

[Osama]

Colress when he figures out metagross can mega evolve

[Tinkatube]

ChaoticMeatball sent me. This is amazing!

[VGMJunkie]

I always dug that killer bassline from this one. Amazing job!

[ventusthekey]

Honestly one of my favorite characters in Pokemon in a while and you really did his theme justice.

[virgobro]

Your music sounds better than all these other "metal" guys

[gabocarina]

That's some solid stuff right there man! :D Your mixes are always so tight it just blows me away!

[dannielbarros]

You nailed it. I imagine this one is one of the hardest to adapt.

[doctortoxin]

There is such a lack of metal covers for this song. Nice work!

[idtapthat]

Going into this blind (havn't played the game), this sounds like some sort of Japanese Prog Metal. Good stuff. :)

[mulchmulchmulchmulchganglife]

Chaotic Meatball sent me here! This is wonderful!

[Arthion]

Dayum, awesome! I can always hope if he's back in USUM he has a new remix this time around though I doubt it could even be half as good as your cover ;)

[One-Punch_Man]

Wow, this is like the small piece of song's remix that was in the the animated trailer for black/white 2!
