Rich has been producing prog metal covers of game music for years. His most well-known work is probably...
♫ DETERMINATION
by RichaadEB & Ace Waters
https://determination-ut.bandcamp.com/album/determination
This Undertale cover album was a collaboration with Ace Waters. If you are a fan of metal OR Undertale music, this album deserves your attention.
But RichaadEB has tons of other great music out there. He posts a new music video every week on his YouTube channel, covering themes from games, movies and anime, and at this point is channel is packed with gems.
♫ “Undersea Palace (Chrono Trigger)”
by RichaadEB
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyBx70DuxvY
Chrono Trigger's soundtrack gets covered extensively, but I rarely see anyone tackle this particular track and I did NOT expect it to have such potent metal potential.
♫ “Snake Man (Mega Man 3)”
by RichaadEB
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhsTjlz2Rz8
Mega Man music was just MEANT to be turned into prog metal covers.
♫ “Life Will Change (Persona 5)”
by RichaadEB ft. Caleb Hyles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQnU29Bxrds
When a track needs vocals, Rich will often bring in Caleb for the task. The two go well together!
♫ “BAD APPLE!! (Touhou)”
by RichaadEB ft. Christina Vee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xz4NV0zsbY
The Touhou remix scene is one of those branches of the community that is just sort of quietly ENORMOUS.
♫ “Wii Channel Theme”
by RichaadEB
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrEeAgW7Sug
RIP Wii Shop.
♫ “Odd Future (Boku no Hero Academia)”
by RichaadEB ft. Caleb Hyles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymfY_d0PZH0
Richaad also ventures into anime OP themes pretty frequently if that's your jam.
But yeah, go ahead and just subscribe to RichaadEB's channel, because he posts a new video WEEKLY.
But maybe metal isn't your jam! Perhaps you're more into electronic? Some electronic tunes perhaps? Some EDM, hiphop and chill out? Allow me to introduce you to...

♫ Zelda & Chill
by Mikel & GameChops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdzrrWA8e7A
This is an entire album of lofi hiphop Zelda beats, just in case you need some chill tunes to study to today.
♫ “We Move Together As One (Overwatch)”
by Andromulus & GameChops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00PiTBsuZ5k
This one is NOT chill. It is whatever the opposite of chill is. But it's Lucio, so the beat will at least heal/accelerate you.
♫ “Tem Shop (Undertale)”
by Ben Briggs & GameChops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu8A8uWAJaA
It's Tem Shop.
♫ “Dearly Beloved (Kingdom Hearts)”
by Ayano Ultra & GameChops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnqpurpXJ0U
Nice and relaxed.
♫ “Octo Expansion (Splatoon 2)”
by Ralfington & GameChops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsf89JB2Tdg
I haven't even had a chance to play this expansion, but the trailer music alone was such a gift.
♫ “Die Anywhere Else (Night in the Woods)”
by DM Dokuro & GameChops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP3HCN7m6xY
Daggum I love this source material so much.
♫ “Weird Autumn (Night in the Woods)”
by CG5 & GameChops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWy0VCQjHbo
screw it, I'm linking to two Night in the Woods tracks, no one can stop me

I remember the one featuring Cristina Vee from your KH let's play (I think) ! That one's a bop

Also Dan, since you mentioned the Determination album, if you haven't been keeping up with Ace Waters as well as Rich then I highly recommend it. Some of the stuff he's done lately is insanely good; I'm just gonna drop his Gaur Plains Cover as a starting point. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WF4p4M8ZpQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WF4p4M8ZpQ</a>
