ZorDon Reacts to "ALL HAIL SHADOW" (MAGNA-FI) & "I AM (ALL OF ME)" | Sonic Saturdays! 

Please don't apologise. ALOT of newcomers to the franchise don't know about the OG because the Crush 40 version is the one that gets referenced and remixed since 06.

YEAR OF SHADOW BABYYY!!

personally I really reccomend the songs "Waking Up" and "Chosen One", both also from Shadow The Hedgehog!

Can't wait for Sonic X Shadow Generations! THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD!!!

When you have the time, I recommend you to give the Shadow The Hedgehog (2005) intro a look! Not only does it look Visually stunning, but it also adds up really well with the story and the song!

All of me is one of those songs you can't help but crank up when you get into the zone.

Recommend Eggman's theme "E.G.G.M.A.N" by Paul Shortino. There's a version called the "Doc Robeatnic Mix". A youtuber called "LittleVMills" did a cover if you're interested

Fun fact about "I Am (All Of Me)" is it was a somewhat hasty replacement for the original song "Who I Am" by Magna-Fi. The reason it was replaced was because one of the band members left and decided to not let them use it in the game. It's an excellent replacement but "Who I Am" is fantastic too ("I Am (All Of Me)" is probably more exciting as an opening for the game too). All the vocal tracks to Shadow the Hedgehog are amazing, but there is one that's uhhh split on popularity called "Almost Dead" lol as the title suggests, "Almost Dead" is incredibly morbid compared to the other tracks and is rather depressing but heavy lol

I recommend checking out the "Project Shadow" shortfilm by João Filipe Santiago. It is a great fan project set in the Sonic movie universe.

Hey Hey ZorDonofDoom, I wanted to start off with how I really enjoy your videos and music, but most importantly I appreciate your positive vibes in how present yourself as well. I also wanted to suggest a couple of songs from games that are from Sega, or songs from games in which the soundtrack is Sonic-esque to a degree. Sega game suggestions: THIS IS MY HAPPINESS from Space Channel 5, Angels With Burning Hearts (English version) from Burning Rangers), and SHOW TIME from Rhythm Thief. Sonic-Esque Soundtracks: Vs Sayu from No Straight Roads, Special Boss from Spark the Electric Jester 1, and Panic in the Sky from TMNT Shredder's Revenge. Seeing that you are a singer I would love to hear you talk about the technical aspects about music and vocals. Keep rocking dude.

I'd recommend more tracks from Shadow the Hedgehog like Chosen One, Waking Up and even unused tracks like Broken.

Been listening to it since i was a child total banger ❤

You should definitely check out Fist Bump and Infinite's theme lyric videos (mandatory with the lyric video because theyre the full versions of the songs)

This is my favorite version of All Hail Shadow no doubt, and please react to "Waking Up" and "The Chosen One" both also from Shadow The Hedgehog, and the unused tracks too "Broken", "All Of Me" and "Who I Am" they are pretty good too!

Can you see all of me? Walk inside my mystery Step inside and hold on for dear life Do you remember me Capture you and set you free I am all, I am all of me

have a look at the CGI intro of the game shadow the hedgehog! it puts some context to the song i am all of me & the darkest sonic song is 'almost dead'

I like how since you reacted to Throw it All Away, we had 3 reacts in a row of Shadow Theme songs, that's very special considering this year is supposed to be "The Year of Shadow" with the upcoming third Sonic Movie featuring Shadow, Sonic x Shadow Generations and Shadow skin in Sonic Superstars, and probably more, especially Sonic x Shadow Generations and Sonic the Movie 3 Logo were both released and shown this week, it feels like a "Shadow special" to celebrate the Year of Shadow lol

So glad you reacted to these and even moreso that you liked them!! they’re two of my favorites in all the franchise!

At the start of the Nate cover, you ask “Is this the version from Generations”, just a heads up, One Way Dream is the ONLY Nate song that was official in the games (and only the 2nd time he’s worked officially with SEGA, the first being the Symphony performance), the rest are all fan covers so none of his others are from any specific game.

Happy to see more of these reactions. :D Also a pretty lucky hit considering Shadow is coming to the new Sonic Generations remaster.

Hot take: Magni Fi version is BEST version of “All Hail Shadow”😎👍🏻

Just found your channel today and binged all your Sonic reactions! It's been so cool seeing your journey. As a massive Sonic fan, I love Sonic music so much and it's very dear to my heart. I don't know what people have already requested, but I'll leave some of my suggestions below: (apologies in advance for the length 😭) "Waking Up" from Shadow the Hedgehog - An absolute banger, plus it's also from Shadow the Hedgehog if you wanna keep that train rolling! "The Chosen One" from Shadow the Hedgehog - More Shadow! This is definitely one of the most "no one would ever guess this is a Sonic song" songs out there imo 😂 but it's really good "BACK 2 BACK" from Sonic Rush - Sonic Rush has one of the best Sonic OSTs in my opinion, but it's often overlooked since it was a DS game. It's done by Hideki Naganuma, a fantastic composer who also did the music for Jet Set Radio. His use of samples is really unique!! (Also the Generations version is the same, so don't worry about different versions.) "What U Need" from Sonic Rush - Another Rush banger "Reach For The Stars" from Sonic Colors - Sort of a biased pick as Colors was my first Sonic game (and one of my first video games in general which is crazy to think about lol) and I have an intense nostalgic connection to this song, but I really do love it and I feel like it won't get recommended as much. There is a remix of it from the remake Colors Ultimate as well, but if you listen to this one make sure you listen to the original first! "Sonic Boom" from Sonic CD - This one's just an absolute banger. There's also a Crush 40 version! "Follow Me" from Sonic Heroes - Team Rose's theme and my personal pick for best Amy theme song! "Infinite" from Sonic Forces - If you thought Shadow's music was edgy, wait until you meet Infinite LOL. This one's got Tyler Smyth, who also did Find Your Flame from Sonic Frontiers! "Fist Bump" from Sonic Forces - This one's just fun! Forces might not be a good game but as per the Sonic rule, the music still slaps 😂 "We Can" from Sonic Heroes - I believe in one of your reactions you said you'd be reacting to this next, but I can't find the video if you have? If you have already reacted to it then just ignore this one lol Again apologies for the length!! I'm just very passionate about Sonic and Sonic music

Littlevmills remixed a few of the most popular songs from the sonic games including I Am. Maybe something to possibly react to in the future? 😊

Should definitely listen to Chosen one and Waking up next. I don’t think there’s much or any remixes for both of them so you could probably do them both in one video if you wanted Never turn back should be kept for the last Shadow The Hedgehog song you’ll listen to

God I so much prefer the magnafi all hail shadow. Good job reacting to both versions!

Yay! You did shadow, your reactions are the best 😊!

Just saying "Never Turn Back" is one of my faves however i see you have already reacted to it soooooooooooo uhhhhhh. oh no you've reacted to a lot of stuff, though i don't see much non vocal tracks from sonic games so let me hit you with something from sonic rush. "a New Day" is what you hear on the title screen. "What U Need" is a lot of people's favorite from that game, but "Wrapped in Black" is my fave. P.S. it should be noted that boss tracks like "Wrapped in Black" are split into 2 separate parts, and that level themes like "What U Need" have 2 separate versions

If only I didnt have to do an open shift tomorrow guess I will watch it after work haha

Like the others, I recommend Waking Up and The Chosen One, and if you've not done it yet, Never Turn Back. The Chosen One in particular might give you a different perspective on Shadow that you definitely deserve to have ! And yeah, my favorite version of All Hail Shadow is definitely the Magna-Fi version, I dunno there's something about the chords and the vocals that I really connect with.

It's a common mistake, don't worry about it ! That said instead of guessing, why don't you ask us which one is the original and which ones we're most interested in seeing you react to ? You could use community posts or a pinned comment !

Highly recommend checking out Infinite

Yes to all Shadow the Hedgehog suggestions given here and previously! I also hope you check out Victor McKnight's Sonic movie songs eventually!

Have you listened to "Throw It All Away" yet? That's the original theme of Shadow The Hedgehog

I would definitely recommend Infinite from Sonic Forces, by Tyler Smyth. It's genuinely one of my favorite vocal tracks in the series, even if the game is... less so. It's very good.

You should see the intro to the Shadow the hedgehog game as well as the Sa1, Sa2, heroes, and 06 ones

Since I saw your first Sonic song reactions, I've recommended these 2 to pretty much everyone and I'm glad you made a video about them.🥲 “I am all of me” is one of my favorite songs and on all of my playlists.🤭

Pls react to " The chosen one" another great Shadow track

I actually prefer the Magna-fi version of All Hail Shadow. I love Johnny and Crush 40, but this feels more.... shadow. Granted I did know about this version first 'cause someone got me back into sonic with Shadow the Hedgehog; they bought it for me on release and I quote 'Because I thought you'd be into this kind of thing'.

If you do end up listening to the other shadow tracks everyone mentioned in the comments I'd recommend you also listen to the last of shadow's vocal themes from the same game "Almost Dead" it's probably the edgiest sonic song ever made but it's worth it for the absolute shocked reaction ut elicits in people lol

Please do "Fight the Knight" also the Snapcube cover of "I am(all of me)" Is really good

If you can, can you please check out the Victor McKnight cover of I Am… All of Me. It’s a really good cover of the song that I think you’ll enjoy. (By the way I love watching your reaction videos to Sonic songs).

If you can react to the lost tracks from this which I think are the best ones all of me, broken, who i am, and tick

Actually. Could you do a comparison of the two Sonic CD intros, the NA vs Europe/Japan(watching them with the intro animation to the game). I seen alot of people advocate for the japanese one 'you can do anything' and while I like the song I dont see how anyone could prefer it over 'Sonic Boom'(the north american one) this coming from someone who has a history of prefering original japanese soundtracks and hadnt even touched CD until he was older

You should just watch the yesmen10 video by yourself just to (assumingly) see some context from the game like the cgi opening (which is fire) or the gameplay

I think you just about reacted to everyone’s theme song besides Eggman, the Babylon rouge and infinite. Fun/funny fact if you search up the most edgiest song infinite theme song comes up no lie. 🤣 Oh and wanted to mention the only few characters who don’t have a theme song are Blaze, Cream, Marine and Omega which is odd especially for Blaze

Please "Broken" 🙏

It's funny how hard they tried to go on the soundtrack for this game when it's considered objectively the worst game in the entire franchise. And the music is bad. Which for a Sonic game is blasphemy. Granted, Never look back is pretty good. But the rest is just, weird. Or unremarkable. Ah well. This game is 95% non-canon anyway.
