Super Metroid - Into Red, Into Dark

Super Metroid - Intro Red, Into Dark is an orchestrated medley of themes from Super Metroid. It was performed by the WDR Radio Orchestra, and produced by Merregnon Studios as part of the live concert Symphonic Selections.

Description
Super Metroid - Into Red, Into Dark is 9 minutes and 9 seconds in length. The concert was originally performed on November 22, 2013 in Cologne Philharmonic Hall in Germany. Merregnon Studios had previously produced other series of orchestral game concerts, including Symphonic Legends and Symphonic Fantasies, but Symphonic Selections is one of the few to feature music from the Metroid series. Unlike the Metroid Suite from Symphonic Legends, Super Metroid - Into Red, Into Dark is more focused on clearly incorporating familiar melodies.

In order, Super Metroid - Into Red, Into Dark features the following tracks: Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior, Opening (Destruction of the Space Colony), Lower Norfair, Big Boss Confrontation (Kraid, Crocomire, Phantoon), Mother Brain, Crateria - The Space Pirates Appear, Lower Brinstar, a reprise of Mother Brain, and Crateria Surface. Reprises of Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior are also scattered throughout the medley, and it concludes with this theme.

Super Metroid - Into Red, Into Dark maintains much of the darkness and unsettling dissonance of the original game's soundtrack. The only bright spots are the occasional triumphant bursts of Theme of Samus Aran, as well as Crateria Surface offering respite after the Mother Brain theme.
