Remembering Zelda as a Rock Adventure with Helmarock: Zelda Metal EP Vol. II

Come take a look at what Legend of Zelda songs Materia Collective covered in their latest album: Helmarock: Zelda Metal Vol. II.

Remembering Zelda as a Rock Adventure with Helmarock: Zelda Metal EP Vol. II

In 2017 Materia Collective introduced an album produced by Joel Kent that reimagines select songs from Zelda Series’ OST as a metal rock ballad with Octorock: The Zelda Metal EP. On March 1, Kent released a sequel to that album called Helmarock: Zelda Metal EP Vol. II which he promises to be twice as heavy and double the runtime of its 2017 predecessor all while fusing Koji Kondo’s melodies with all things shred.

Much like its predecessor the album includes 5 songs that that span throughout the franchise. For Kent, revisiting the franchise means putting his own metal spin on his favorite songs from his favorite series. The songs include the simple rock melody of Ocarina of Time’s Title theme, the adventurous ballad of Twilight Princess’ Hyrule Field, and The Wind Waker’s Ganon Battle. “Transitioning Koji Kondo’s music to rock and roll feels like a very natural process,” says Kent.
