Community member Torzelan has been making some pretty sweet heavy metal covers as of late. His newest cover sees him taking on the Killer Instinct theme -- a theme which is pretty epic in its own right. Check out Torzelan's YouTube page to download the cover.

My favorite of Torzelan's work can be found right after the break.

This song always reminded me of The Four Horsemen's music in WCW.

Really cool cover. I've never been that big of a fan of the KI main theme but I do like this and the inclusion of the character select screen is awesome. That has always been my favourite Killer Instinct theme.

Wow, his work is incredible. I've bought and downloaded a fair share of VG cover music, and this is the best I've heard in a long while.

Here's a heavier cover with real drums and bass and some really sick solos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8LpZlTfAFk

Nice stuff Torzelan. Sounds really clean and well made. Another community member has a band that plays some badass game covers. KD Alpha.

Aawww thanks! <3
Yeah it's just a quick cover, not a rearrangement. As far as those go, Powerglove's version is my favorite by far.

Can only agree, best rendition I've heard. Those guys are pretty huge touring with bands like DragonForce, Hammerfall and Sonata Arctica, crazy.

Another great example of innovation, I am glad to find it. There are so many developers working on this segment but this is one of the best innovative idea ever. Thanks for sharing it here.
