metal fm synth tracks that don't have Thunder Force in the title.
Calling that Detestable Name comes to mind for me.
Oh goodie, one of my favourite genres to hear tackled in FM. Couple off the top of my head for now:
Thunder Cross (AC) Great Battleship
^ quite reminiscent of the track you posted - I think you may be aware of it already but thought it worth mentioning!
Battle Mania 2 (MD) - Lots of stuff; this soundtrack wouldn't be out of place in a hypothetical Thunder Force VMD. Often goes for more of a hard rock/pop rock sound, befitting its cute aesthetic, but the beefy riffs keep even those tracks leaning towards a \m/etal sound. The lead synth sound is a beaut, too, much like Tecno Soft's.
Open Mind (short loop for the attract intro, but it's a catchy riff!)
CREEPING_THING (holy fuck now this is more like it, head-stomping boogie riff)
Typhoon I/II/III
My Kingdom
Lunatic Monkey (another short but worthy loop - cool solo)
Bastard!! Ankoku no Hakaishin (SFC) - Title Theme (not technically FM synth, of course, but I can't imagine it being difficult to convert over - at any rate, this sure as hell wouldn't sound out of place on the MD. Short death-metallic title loop)
Or "Last The Boss."
(if it's news to anyone,
Moonlit Army conceals a helluva metal stomper despite only playing in short cutscenes)
