Metaphor: ReFantazio Battle Theme (Shoji Meguro PS2 Rock Remix)
This is a cover of the battle theme (which we currently don't know the official name of) from Metaphor: ReFantazio by Shoji Meguro. I have remade the track in the style of Shoji Meguro's rock battle tracks around the PS2 era of Shin Megami Tensei games, as if Metaphor: ReFantazio released on the PS2 in the mid to late 2000's.
While the full track hasn't been released yet (let alone the game), it is 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘺 similar to the structure of Fear of God from Strange Journey. Not too surprising considering this is Meguro revisiting his orchestral style but regardless, it's a pretty damn good song.
In order to translate the track over to this style, I had to make some key decisions that would give it the Meguro sound. Replacing the high strings with guitar was a no-brainer, but the staccato strings and horns were a bit trickier. I took some inspiration from Hari-Hara ~The Second Movement~ and Heroic Battle by using muted guitar and synth chord stabs respectively. There is also an arpeggio happening on marimba in the original track which I swapped out with a harsh sync lead taking inspiration from Madness.
I wanted to make sure that I kept both vocal parts in the mix as I feel they are a strong part of the track's identity and tried to clean them up the best I could. I feel they turned out better than the vocals in It's Going Down Now, but anything is easier to mix than a scuffed sample of Lotus Juice whispering.
Once the full track is released, I may come back to this and update it to the full version, but we'll be waiting a while for that yet.
Of course, Meguro's signature guitar tone is always the most important element of these remixes, for a more detailed breakdown of how I recreated it, I'd advise checking out the description for the cover of An Honour Befitting That Name I made here: • An Honor Befitting Tha...
I'm looking forward to the game in October, hopefully there are some other great tracks to find.
I hope you enjoy the track!

Game’s not even out yet and bro made a fire cover of its battle theme 😭
WE’RE BECOMING THE NEXT KING WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I can't believe Atlus dropped the arrangement album before the game itself.
Remixing Meguros work in his own style... That's truly genius
First time I heard the battle theme, I said to myself "this is just Nocturne with the guitars replaced with strings". The indecipherable vocals and the simple harmonic motifs are straight out of the B section of a Nocturne battle theme. You're really onto something here.
I hate how little views your videos get. You're unbelievably talented and more people should listen to your stuff.

Nailed the Raidou guitar sound/layering, love it
Hello, ini of Cooliniau here !! Honestly, you know what would be crazy ?? If we end up going to the "fantasy" world of this game (i.e the Human World), I would expect the battle theme to be something similar to this-the vocals being the same would be b/c we're still from our own world, but everything else about the track would have instruments more reminiscent of our world/the Human World. Just thinking about it sounds REALLY awesome !! - ini
The game isn't even out yet😭😭 Great cover btw
Oozing Raidou energy, man
good weekend for music enjoyers
I love how its canon in the game that all the music is playing in the protagonists head lol
now we talking, this is such an unexpected cover but a really needed one. keep the good work dude, also this gives me the curiosity of see if you're able to do a cover of Doom E1M1 A dooms gate
WE GOING FOR THE THRONE WIT DIS ONE 🔥🔥
Yes !!! I have been eagerly awaiting the time that remixes/covers for this game start happening ! I am not disappointed ! This is AWESOME !!
If Persona 5x every has a collab with Metaphor ReFantazio I hope the battle theme sounds like this. This is amazing great work!
I really wish this was the style of the actual song. INCREDIBLE remix by the way. You NAILED rock meguro. Sick. Amazing.
RT you should just go under a Japanese alias and just contract yourself to Nippon companies as a composer for hire because you got this on sound aesthetic on lockdown bro.
Such a pleasant surprise, goddman Blew it out of the park as usual
Persona 3 Reload Metaphor DLC: it has this song and some costumes
I saw the full trailer and battle theme if that sounded like FE3H mixed with SMT SJ (and it felt like it belongs on the type of game but im tired of modern FE music sounding so stale), so this.... THIS SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN. It's more than obvious you take your work seriously and it shows, idk how but you got that magic touch on changing compositions
As if this needed to be any better. This fucking rules so hard. Hail to the new king, baby!
Really does sound like something straight out of DDS
This is pretty good, wish it was an alternate music
This is simply amazing. 🔥
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is great!
let the goosebumps begin !
You cooked bro, keep it up

Hey, hey listen..... (Snores questionable substance.) What if you made covers in ryota kozuka's style? Would be epic if you ask me.
Please do a Digital devil saga song or a Devil Survivor song
