YouTube superstar and guitarist extraordinaire ToxicxEternity has been shredding his way through video game hits since 2008. He’s reworked Banjo Kazooie, the Pokemon franchise, and even the Tetris theme to sound way more hardcore than they actually are by way of bitchin’ guitar. 

As an April Fools’ joke, ToxicxEternity tried a different kind of tribute song. Wake the hell up, Apple nerds. This heavy metal medley is here to turn your iPhone ringtones from classic bangers into headbangers.

It’s been quite some time since Apple reinvented their ringtones. ToxicxEternity is certainly giving them a good reason to switch things up. Even if the medley was made as a joke, the arrangement is simply too good not to put on your phone.

Interested in more outlandish metal? Back ToxicxEternity on Patreon with a $10 donation and you’ll be entered into a raffle to pick his next video game cover. Apparently cellphone sounds are fair game. Something tells me that old Nokia ringtone may get new life quite soon.
