Sylux (theme)

Sylux is a theme from Metroid Prime Hunters. It was composed by Lawrence Schwedler and James Phillipsen.

Description
As its title indicates, Sylux is heard while battling Sylux at the Vesper Defense Outpost during the game's Adventure Mode. It is also available in the game's Sound Test after defeating Gorea's second form.

Like all other Bounty Hunter boss themes in Hunters, Sylux opens with a tense stinger and carries a specific bass harmony (possibly the leitmotif for the Bounty Hunters) throughout the song. The melody is performed by high-pitched strings, which play shrill dissonant chords that melodically rise in key. Much like Boss Omega, these shrieking strings invoke a sense of terrifying intensity.
