Best "Fire Level" Music?

[Action Jack]

Hello there!

I need to assemble a playlist of fire-themed music. I'm mostly looking for more grim and modern stuff (of varying tempo and intensity), but I always love hearing new music.

I'll start. This is my current favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9cFMObC6g0

Show me yours!

Thank you kindly.

Seems like I always mention this game whenever video game music comes up, but here's a couple courtesy of Spiral Knights:

How's this classic blast from the past?

My usual go-to is Mega Man X for good fire themes, but as for something slower and more primal-sounding:

Spoiler: Scorch and Torch

Furious Fire is good in the previous game too

Not exactly modern, and not grim either really, but you can't go wrong with this one imo

Fire! ...i'll teach you to burn!

Um, weirdly precise question to answer...youngest, fondest memory is Super Mario 64 bowser level music. But since learning a lot of music theory/performance between now and then, it is a pretty simple/basic tune to come up with, But effectively catchy and efficient for its' purpoise. There are more taxing, interesting pieces that are currently not quite memorable enough. I feel i am probably letting down the inner music snob by liking this, but fuck that guy, he never did anything for me.

Flame Over...ok, the whole game is a fire level, considering you are a fireman in the game. But its' main jazzy theme tune is so bloody catchy that every time i attempt to play the game, the music gets under my skin enough for me to reach towards the nearest instrument. In fact, the last 3-4 times the game was booted up were to solely listen to the cheery funky jazz in the alternate dimension of Luigi's mansion.

Fire Field from F Zero GX come to my mind-

now are you looking for music used in fire type levels, or music involving the words heat/fire?

here is one, either way:

 

[McMarbles]

Magma Rock from Golden Sun

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

You're all terrible! There is only one answer to this!

How's this, from Broforce? Technically, it's the "hell" levels, but that should still qualify. Lots of metal tribal drums and varying intensities.

Spoiler

Then there's Undertale. Maybe a little more upbeat than you were seeking, but no less fiery.

These 2 came to mind instantly

 

[Erttheking]

Damn it, someone beat me to the obvious metroid choice! Well I'll just cheat by putting in the more modern Metroid Prime version of it!

Oh and this too

Yeah, wanted to ask the same.
Anyway, Cave Story+ has some nice music in the latter matter:

I also see now OP, that you are looking for "more grim and modern stuff". Does it need to be video game music? Because if not, i got something else...

Spoiler

...for you.

 

[Tortilla the Hun]

Fire level music?

Spoiler: Here's one of my favorites

Wait, you said grim and modern? Oh...well, never mind.

 

[Ogoid]

Well, neither are particularly modern and tend more towards orchestral, but two "fire stage" themes I'm particularly fond of are:

Sonic 3D Blast - Volcano Valley Act 1


and

High Seas Havoc - The Chase

Best fire stage ost?
