notes: '"Dark Hunter is a progressive-metal album spanning six tracks from three installments
  of Nintendo''s Metroid video games in visceral, dark, and atmospheric arrangements.
  Inspired by modern and traditional metal, progressive and fusion styles, as well
  as the original video game soudntracks, each track is a unique take on intense boss
  fights, unsettling caverns, and the ambience of the underground labyrinth the player
  traverses each adventure."
