Once a year (when I can), I make a completely biased song pick to be my honorary "birthday song choice" on July 1st.
This year, I've gone with one of my favorite songs from my favorite VG soundtrack, Final Fantasy VI, a song I feel doesn't get a lot of appreciation: Metamorphosis.
It only plays three times in-game, and is a bit on the short side (clocking in at around 35 seconds), but I always felt it was extremely effective at giving that 'all hell has broken loose' feel that matches what is going on when it does show up.
I actually had a version of this I was working on way back in 2013 that never got finished. At least I have 8 years more experience under my belt to do it far better than I could've back then!
Enjoy!
(PS: Thank you for 200K subscribers!! I'll have something special for you later this year. :D)

Sephiroth: Menacingly best villain
Kefka: Successfully best villain
Thank you everyone for your birthday well wishes! :)

@@kenoglover5508 sshhhh wish a happy birthday instead
sending another happy birthday wish! hope you're really enjoying it!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday
I really like the fact that a game with a vilain named Kefka has a track called « metamorphosis ».
*Kefka:* Ahem! There's SAND on my boots!
*Me:* Hah, look at the goofy side villain. I bet he's like Gilgamesh or something.
*Kefka:* _[does unspeakable evil throughout the story]_
*Me:* Oh god.
It's cool that his theme really encapsulates this attitude, really playful at the begginning but it grows more chaotic and dramatic as it goes
I love how by that point we'd already seen him enslave Terra and force her to kill and we STILL underestimate him.
@Ghalheart
Kefka: Did you call me? ;P
Run, run, or you'll be well done!
First clue was that we already had Ultros…so what’s the deal with this guy…?
Kefka still is to this day the best Villain to come out of FF in general. The others just don't compare to how petty and evil his actions are just to feel something.
Not even Kuja? He do be petty too
@@kristophesiem5336 Kuja also had an event that lead him to be that way, as well as a reason. Kefka is literally the guy who after asked "why?" responds with "why not!?"
Kefka is pretty much the best. But Emmet-Selch is high up there.
Emet selch is lockstep with Kefka. Kefka was pure evil, while emet made the good guys look seriously at what they had done
I knew there'd be an FFXIV comment in here lmao. They ain't wrong though, XIV definitely competes; hell, imo exceeds. Still bewildering an MMO has that good of a story.
This is great, captures the same feeling of insanity as the original. That moment in the game when Kefka goes from a total pushover to screwing over the planet with this song playing really caught me by surprise when I played the game.
I don't even remember when I first saw the cutscene and heard this song. But still the world being destroyed while this theme plays still gives me goosebumps.
I saw the title, blanked for a bit, then said “YES” out loud. This is an amazing, tension-filled song and one I think is underrated among the rest of FFVI. That little silence at 0:20 is so good at building the theme.
I agree! I was blindsided by seeing this done, and by one of my favorite arrangers to boot. A wonderful surprise!
The score for this game is still one of the most apt storytelling scores. This song builds basically off of two of the primary themes, Terra's and Celes's, which they've established represent hope and love. The song takes the time to throw both down the drain and really show you how badly Kefka is just fucking up the entire planet. When hope and love have both been killed, what is left?
When we were kids playing this, this was our version of "when the Doom music hits".
That and "The Unforgiven". Those two songs were the highlight of most every "shit getting real" moment in the game.
I was not expecting Kefka's theme to come in there, gave me chills!
On that day...
The world was changed forever.
but the future refused to chan... wait that's something else
But it Re-Fused
The name of the song reminds me of jevil from deltarune and undertale
This track was always the most horrifying shit in the series for me
The entire world getting literally broken while your party gets ripped to shreds all over the world.
You spend the entire second half just rebuilding your party from the damage they suffered on just that one day while Kefka just destroys whatever he wants from his tower
And than you finally meet him and realize Mad God was never more fitting a name than in his case
I grew up with this game on SNES, I must have been 8 or 9 the first time playing it. Talk about a first realization of plate tectonics, holy shit. lol
They did the mythology for final fantasy 6 so well.
All these ancient powers awakening in the world after Kefka's destruction.
I would give anything for this to have a remake that is as faithful to the original as the Super Mario RPG Remake is.
"There's nothing like the sound of hundreds of voices screaming in unison"
Wow my 2 favorite FFVI songs mixed together. This is insane dude holy shit! I was not expecting to hear Kefka's theme and it works so perfectly. Thanks for making this!
Guys, it's his birthday, let's not ask anything today, wait for the next video for requests.
Ah, people can still ask Victor, but thank you for looking out for me! :)
@@JonnyAtma for sheer irony
Could you play storm eagle!??!!!!1!!
You better believe i'm going be dancing mad if I don't get a Magikarp Festival cover! That's my Final Fantasy, after all!
*Still cries in Phos Volcano*
Not only did I get pinged for this on the official discord by the man himself, but I got pinged for this by *everyone* in another server where I am known as "Officially Kefka". So, yeah. That was a fun ping wall.
Banger remix though.
I want to know what you did to earn that title.
And I want to hear your laugh
Leave Jonny to turn a 34 second (I think) Battle Theme into a 3-minute one. And adding Kefka's theme in here was really splendid as well
Kefka is one of the greatest villains in all of fiction.
He is.
Yes he is 👍
Can we get this comment to 100likes ;)

Out of all the FFVI songs I can think of, I was absolutely not expecting this. The addition of Kefka’s theme was a great touch.
THE SEGMENT WITH KEFKA'S THEME!!!! AND THEN SLAM SHUFFLE AT THE ENF I JUST--- AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Kefka?! Good taste my friend! And happy Birthday!
The ground falls out from beneath you, the sky begins to rip asunder... Clouds race across the heavens, merging into cyclones and whirlwinds. You hear roars and evil shouts of triumph as devils, sealed from the foundations of the world break free from their 1000 year imprisonments.
Yes, you capture this well.
You beat the living hell out of those drums! Exactly how they should sound in this song!
I never expected this, but this is great, I love this song.

Yo this was Lit also happy birthday Johnny
Yeah!
@@inciniumz4671 Hey it's YOU again lol
@@iceyblue6644 Yes, it is I, who are you?
@@inciniumz4671 Who am I.
I am a UA-cam channel who decided to reply to you and now I am replying to your other comment :)
LET'S GO! A few seconds in and it's already sick af!
Jevil: CHOAS CHOAS
Jevil: I CAN DO ANYTHING
Jevil: *METAMORPHOSIS*
Jevil: OO HA HA
@@iceyblue6644 I love how unrelated this is.
This song was stuck in my head for a LONG time. I'm willing to go through it all again with your epic rendition! Thanks for using the footage man I'm forever grateful for your work ❤️
Happy Birthday Jonny!!!
Ohh lord, this tune!! The panic inducing, trouble brewing, Hell has broken loose, gotta run for our lives theme. Thanks for doing one of my favorite FF6 tunes good sir!!
1:40 Holy SHIT this hits hard! Kefka’s theme is probably one of my favorite videogame theme ever and god DAMN did you nailed it! Props!
Damn, you captured the insanity and intensity of this theme dead to rights, you knew that everything was completely and utterly fucked when this began cranking. I salute you sir, this was brilliant.
I was just watching your old kefka today... This is amazing..
Oh wow 200K
Good job!
Also happy birthday
Happy birthday dude.
Since this is your birthday choice, happy birthday! Can't wait to see what that 200k special will be once it's ready.
Happy Birthday!!!
Man, all the acoustic outros you do of various other FF6 songs slap so hard, like kefka's theme and the zozo one here
This song was so burned in my mind at that particular szene at Thamasa. That song when Kefka suddenly showed his real madness. Beating up all of our heroes, killing Yura, all other espers and finishing off the overpowered General Leo... That was one of the most darkest scene FF6 had to offer
Everybody gangsta til Kefka starts catching espers like Pokemon.
Magicite!! Gotta kill 'em all!!
Me: "We can still win this! The heroes always win!"
This song: "Hold my beer."
(psst... still hoping you'll do Battle with the Four Fiends [The Dreadful Battle] from FFIV)
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Jonny!
Ohhh, that's the good stuff. I remember how much that track impacted me playing the game so long ago - and here and now, you have surpassed expectations. So glad to see someone arrange this!
Happy Birthday man! May it prove to be blessed and prosperous one for you! May you live for many years to come so we can continue enjoy the awesome we work you do!
I know it's late, but Happy Birthday. This rendition of the calamity took me back.
Happy birthday Jonny
Happy birthday man! Hope you have a good one!
Kefka was and always will be one of the best villains to ever exist
I cannot stop listening to this arrangement.... it's so fantastic, from the solo to the blend with Kefka's theme and then some. Final Fantasy VI was such a masterpiece from beginning to end, and this just elevates it even further. I even muted a recent playthrough at the end of the Floating Continent and replaced the music with this. (FIVE MINUTE TIMER LET'S GO!)
Thank you for the amazing music you've done over the years.
Currently playing through this game... Just heard this song... Are you from the wizard-guitarist class?
I'd assume so
@@inciniumz4671 Yes
Yes he is
No, he's a Guitar Sage. He's already traversed Eureka the Forbidden Land.
Happy Birthday Jonny, another banger as usual, and hope the rest of your day is as much a jam as your entire musical anthology to date
been a while since music literally gave me goosebumbs, thank you. also, extremely well done cover!
God, I love Kefka. Crazy bastard, one of the few villains that actually _wins_ , at least for a while. Also happy birthday Jonny!!
He wins completely, there was almost nothing left for him to destroy! That’s what makes the end of the game so bittersweet
Cant say i ever expected anyone to remix this tune but i am not complaining. Its quite a powerful mood setter. Rock on my dude! FF6 is still my favorite to this day.
Happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day! Awesome remix like always Jonny!
I never dreamed that someone would make a cover of this and make it as chaotic as the game itself. Salud 🍺
INCREDIBLE. This song is the perfect fit for your metal-style covers.
Been late but happy birthday from Brazil, GaMetal
Happy Birthday Johnny! I wish you nothing but success in your life :)
Happy birthday ! May you cover all the songs you love and be proud of your work !
Yaaaaaa, very nice choice. Atma killing it like always
Happy birthday! So glad you did a non-battle tune from this game. Kefka sure knows how to make an entrance!
Edit: OH WOW the acoustic short is Slam Shuffle, AKA Zozo's theme! That's incredible!
Great cover, dude! A re-imagining of an underrated classic!
*Little* *Happy beautiful birthday
Happy birthday, and this was a hell of a pick. You're right that it doesn't get enough attention, but it's a track that has stuck with me since the first time I heard it as a kid.
Nothing like seeing the world as the characters knew it torn apart and re-sculpted into a morbid mockery of its former self, all because one nihilistic psychopath decides to play god and treat the world like it's his sandbox. Well played, Square(soft/-Enix). Well played.
Well happy birthday, Atma. Keep rocking and being a badass like you always are.
Happy birthday!
Thank you for more Kefka
that ultima weapon guitar is so sick, great cover!
Happy birthday!!! Hope it’s been great! Awesome remix too!
Yep that's going into my favorites.
It's your birthday, yet you spoil us. Thanks and a happy birthday to you, Jonny!
Happy Birthday! THIS IS SICK, EXCELLENT JOB!!
Daaamn, this one was great! Kefka's theme as a bonus is just a flavour win!
And congrats on 200k too! Well deserved :)
Gotta love the ff6 love every time man :) Hbd atma, hope you have a good one
Happy Birthday, and I hope it is a great one!
Here are some pieces that I would like to hear Gametal take on. ( ★ = Favorite )
★ C&C Renegade Soundtrack - Stomp
◆ Sonic Heroes - Final Fortress Zone
◆ Kirby Star Allies - The Final Push (Friend Star)
◆ Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Special Stage Theme | Super Sonic Theme (possibly medley them together)
◆ Godzilla Unleashed - Mecha King Ghidorah's Theme (Main Menu Theme)
◆ BattleTanx: Global Assault - Main Theme
◆ Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza Theme
Damn, Godzilla Unleashed? haven't heard that badass game in awhile
A very mad dancing birthday to you Gametal
Oh man this song just got new life! Love it!
God, is every song in this OST this good? We got Dancing Mad, Decisive Battle, and this, and that's just from the list of songs I've listened to.
Also, Happy Birthday Jonny! Hope you've had and continue to have a good one!
Wait until he does his cover of "What?"
The only bad song in Final Fantasy VI is the end credits theme and that's because you have to restart the game to play it more.
Update: I have listened to the full OST, and have come to the conclusion that yes, it's all good.
Masterful little detail on the sample video showing that you do get your chance to have Shadow rejoin the party one more time for later if you wait for him, which can be easy to miss even if it looks obvious. And you ARE forced to wait for him down to the last few seconds on purpose by the way, not matter how quick you were to get to the exit point.
I LOVE that guitar paintjob
Dude that's a sick looking new blue guitar! Love it!
Always here for FF6 awesomeness... That, and I love catching glimpses of the fabled Atma Weapon.
Happy Birthday, Jonny! \m/
Dude, you are such a legend. What a Rock Star ⚡️
Happy birthday, Jonny! You picked a great song!
Been loving these final fantasy remixes lately, especially since I’ve been getting more into the series. I’m going in whatever order I see so 9 is next up on my list.
I hate to admit that it took me ages to figure out the preview, but good lord. Me and 2 friends spent so long trying to figure it out. But we did. It's a character from a game that guest stars in a mobile game of a different series from what my friend told me. Don't wanna spoil it :)
i was never expecting a cover of this one. a really impactful song every time it shows up
Props for waiting for Shadow.
Really needed this awesomeness in my day after how Square is treating this masterpiece on those crappy pixel remasters.
This f'n amazing! And legit the only cover of this song I've ever found. I always thought this song had one of the dankest bass lines and no one is doing it. Thank you so much!
Awesome cover for a very memorable moment. The first time (as far as I know) that the bad guy actually "wins" in a game. The song perfectly fits Kefka, chaotic, jokerish...
Beautiful. Also Happy birthday my guy! 🎉🎂🎈
HELL YEAH!
Metamorphosis is such a good song. As is the boss theme for Atma Weapon, The Fierce Battle. Since both happen in the same place, I always like to play them back to back in my head.
Super awesome birthday song choice! Happy birthday and rock on!
this was freaking awesome! happy b-day dude
Job well done! Happy Birthday Jonny!
I didn't expected the remix of Kefka's theme. Damn, you lighted up my days, thanks a lot!
Kefka: Run, run, or you'll be well done!
A mighty fine remix that bookended the most disastrous moment in FFVI's story. Very well done and a Happy Birthday to you. : )
happy birthday jonny, thanks for giving us so many bangers over all these years and i hope your have a wonderful day ^ ^
EDIT: holy crap i love the way you mixed in kefka's theme, that was a dope addition !! _(i've not actually played ff6 yet - i'm sorry - but that's one track i've actually ilstened to a lot and have grown pretty fond of, hearing it like that was so cool !!)_
What're you waiting for? Play the game! You won't regret it, promise!
