Originally made as an entry for the February 2022 Metroid-themed month for Dwelling Of Duels: http://dwellingofduels.net

I figured there would be a TON of Metroid Prime, Brinstar etc remixes and it would be very guitar/metal heavy, so I decided I'd do nightmare's boss theme from Metroid Fusion instead, and go orchestral.

As nightmare's theme is literally just one riff that repeats endlessly with no intro or outro, interlude etc there isn't much to go on - I had to make my own start and finish. I realised as I was working on the opening that I was flirting with the intro to F.E.A.R., so I decided to lean more towards it as a kind of homage/reference without just literally remaking it. That's why there's also a random girl whispering to kill them all 😄 - it fits with the creepy nightmare boss though.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time when I was little playing Tomb Raiders 1 through 5 on my Playstation and always loved Nathan McCree's tunes in the earlier ones - I would often stop in a level when something played to listen to it without sound effects over the top. Since the early games used redbook audio, I'd put the disc in my CD player as well as my Playstation.

Similarly for the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot, I remember waiting when climbing the radio tower to listen to the music. Most players will only hear it for about 10 seconds; it's such a tiny piece it doesn't even appear on the game's soundtrack, but it's beautiful and what I chose to arrange here. 

I tackled Tomb Raider back when I made terrible music as a teen; besides Final Fantasy it was a go-to for me - though since apparently I'm back out of retirement, doing Tomb Raider (more) properly was an obvious choice.

The order of the games in the title/image is more or less a guide to the order of inspiration for the arrangement, you win useless imaginary internet points if you can pick out all the hits and motifs from the various games.
