Hey guys! Time for some insanely epic metal jams from Lufia 2! This one was a request from Josh B. and I couldn't have been more stoked when I found out I was about to hit this track up.

The original is so metal-friendly that I really didn't have to reach too far to come up with some riffs for it. I decided to come up with my own rhythm riff following the original's chord progression and let that be a continuing motif of my arrangement. But for the pre-chorus and chorus, I decided to let it stay more true to the original rhythmically.

I also wanted to stay true to the original theme's drums because the groove is so unique and cool. It's like if a seasoned jazz drummer decided to play melodic death metal.

Finally, I couldn't resist doing a solo over the motif riff because the chord progression is so melodic and fun. It allows so much feeling in any melody you throw at it.

Overall i'm super happy with how this turned out. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! Thanks for the awesome request Josh!

The original boss battle theme theme from the game "Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals" was composed by Yasunori Shiono.
