Chill GaMetal is back, and this time we’re revisiting Mega Man ZX for a take on the Graceful song Misty Rain (Area I – Imprisonment Facility).

I first did this song for GaMetal Patron SolarZero as an acoustic short several years ago, and I’ve been a fan of it ever since. It has an aura of mystery to it that I find really appealing.

This arrangement borrows influence from both the original and the ZX Tunes version, though the ZX Tunes version is really just a higher quality version with some additional instruments added. Namely, the arpeggiated synth line that plays over the altered intro after the first loop, and the addition of vocals carrying the intro melody and main melody during the second repeat. Here, I held off on the vocal “oo”s until the end, behind the outro/guitar solo.

I’m really happy with how this one turned out. I know it’s not exactly the most popular ZX song around, but I’ve always felt it was way under-appreciated and needed some more love!
