Alpha Squad Theme by Stemage.

For those unfamiliar with Stemage... which I'm guessing is just about everybody, Stemage is a guitarist and gamer who got started as part of a band called Metroid Metal, which, um, metalizes the Metroid soundtrack and video game music in general. Anyway, if you like rock/progressive/metal guitar applied to video game music, Stemage is a good entry point into the genre. Go forth and be nerdy.
 
Becoming The Archetype - Elemental Wrath: Requiem Aeternam Pt. 2

I'll credit Mars with getting my interested in BTA. I saw Celestial Completion was one of his top albums, so I figured I'd give it a go .... and wow, this is a really great album. For some reason I had been under the impression that they were a metalcore band, but this is really cool, progressive stuff.

I would love to have made an animated version of it if I knew how and had the means. It's the single most awesome part of any video I've ever seen.
