Noxus (theme)

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

Description
As its title indicates, Noxus is heard while battling Noxus on Arcterra 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, Noxus 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 a choir, which alternates between tense chanting and directly quoting the theme of Arcterra, which in turn is a minor key remix of Phendrana Drifts. The latter simultaneously references the battle's Arcterra setting and Noxus's ice-based weapon of choice.
