Artifact Shrine (Release of the Chozo Ruins Seal)



Artifact Shrine (Release of the Chozo Ruins Seal), as named on the Metroid Prime & Fusion Original Soundtracks, is a theme from Metroid Prime. It was composed by Kenji Yamamoto.

Description
Artifact Shrine (Release of the Chozo Ruins Seal) plays during the cutscene initiated by the end of the Meta Ridley boss battle in the Artifact Temple. It is heard as the Chozo statues fire upon Meta Ridley and Chozo Ghosts open the gateway to the Impact Crater.

The track itself is a short medley of other themes from Metroid Prime. When the statues are shooting Meta Ridley, a deep male choir sings the melody of Chozo Chapel of the Elders. A short musical bridge section is taken from the opening of Chozo Shrine. When the Chozo Ghosts appear, a triumphant extended version of Get Artifact Jingle is sung by another choir.

Trivia

 * The remix of Get Artifact Jingle heard in Metroid: Samus Returns seems to be based upon the version heard in Artifact Shrine (Release of the Chozo Ruins Seal), since it features a choir singing in the same key.
