On Feb. 8, August Burns Red will release the Phantom Sessions EP, complete with what you just listened to, a metal cover of the theme song to The Legend of Zelda.
The band’s bassist, Dustin Davidson, composed and executed the playthrough, and spoke about the song:
“For the cover, I wanted to do a mash-up of not only the original theme but other pieces from the game, as well. And since the dungeon theme flirts with the diminished scale, it just made sense to put it into a metal cover.”

The track will be on the band’s Phantom Sessions release, alongside a MIDI version of “The Frost.” The EP is named after the band’s most recent full-length release, Phantom Anthem, and will feature two new tracks recorded during the making of the album.
- “Midnight”
- “The Legend of Zelda”
- “Laniakea”
- “Coordinates” (Reprise)
- “The Frost” (Midi Version)
