Magma (theme)

:This article is about the music in Cataris. For other uses, see Magma (Disambiguation). 
MagmaDerived from the internal filenames "s_magma_001", "s_magma_002", and "s_magma_cooldown". Cataris is referred to as "magma" internally. is an original theme in Metroid Dread. It was composed by Soshi Abe and/or Sayako Doi.
==Description==
This theme is heard throughout most of Cataris outside its E.M.M.I. Zone, and like other area themes in Dread, it has variants for different sectors of Cataris. Magma 002 plays in most rooms without extreme heat, featuring a recurring three-note leitmotif. An arrangement of Magma 002 is included in Kraid's battle music.
Magma 001, a more intense version, plays throughout superheated rooms in Cataris, unless Samus Aran uses a "thermal power flow machine" to redirect the flow of lava in the room. When Cataris is frozen over by Experiment No. Z-57, it takes on a slower version called Magma Cooldown, a slow, eerier arrangement of Magma 002 with atmospheric effects that evoke the cold similarly to Cave Cooldown.
Magma 001 can be heard here, Magma 002 here, and Magma Cooldown here.
