Maybe it's more the niche I find myself enjoying time and time again, but I absolutely ADORE music that can take inspiration from video games, whether it be the genuine themes being used in the adaptations, or the setting and leitmotifs.
The most obvious is gonna be The Protomen- Nashville Rock band taking inspiration from Megaman to tell a story of a stark and grimdark crapsack world hedging their bets on a mechanical savior- and through act 2, an extended look at the events that forged the flawed figures trapped in the struggle.
They're probably more known for "Light Up The Night", but I'd rather if you're completely unfamiliar, you give "Breaking Out" a shot, a song following the original character [and in universe precursor to the enemy Sniper Joe], Joe.
Of course, another thing that comes to mind are the THOUSANDS of sick touhou vocal tracks, ranging from synth wave to death metal to... Irish Folk?
Anyhow, there's a whole plethora. I could gush about The Megas [especially given the covers of appropriate classic rock songs to fit the vibe of the album - "Burn" for Dracula is so fitting it's disgusting, and yes I watched "The Crow" until my DVD got scratched to hell and back from me moving my DVD player with it inside, how did you know that personal anecdote?], I could speak on Alex Moukala's INSANE Anime opening for FFXIV Endwalker, Falconshield's clever wordplay, but I instead will leave it on a simple question- What video game musical projects do you like the most?
