JoJo's Bizarre Rock Dance (Bloody Stream Rock Cover)

JoJo's Bizarre Rock Dance (Bloody Stream Rock Cover)

This took a lot of damn work to do, but these videos are just way too fun. I recently got into the JoJo series, and I've been loving it so far. The music is no exception. I thought it would be a fun video to try out some of the ridiculous poses!

Anyways, we're back to video games now. I have s...

A couple updates - Hello new Patrons!

Hey guys, I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not, but I gained a couple new patrons within the same day, which is pretty damn neat. I'm making this update for the new guys, just letting you know that every month, you can enter a request in a raffle and have a chance for me to cover it. This mon...

What I'm covering this week (and other covers I have planned for this month)

I'm deciding to go retro with the OST that originally got me into composing and video game music; Donkey Kong Country 2! David Wise is probably one of my main writing influences, and I felt like this would be a lot of fun. This time around, I'll be doing Mining Melancholy, but there will be more ...

RPG Battle Themes || Metal Medley

RPG Battle Themes || Metal Medley

This was a tough one to do. I've been wanting to do this for awhile, and finally a moment opened up for me to get cracking. Got a lot of sweet franchises in there, including one of my favorites, Paper Mario! I hope you all enjoy. The next medley I'll do like this will involve sad/emotional themes. A...

Early Download of this week's medley (not an april fool's joke)

Hey guys! The video is currently exporting right now. I'm trying to get it up within the next couple of hours, but it's a big one. Just a bit past 9 minutes actually! I figured since I have the WAV right here, I'd just let you guys have it early :) I won't reveal the setlist just yet though! You ...

[Backing Track] Mystery Carnival - Pokken Tournament

Jam it out, friends.

Mystery Carnival - Pokken Tournament (Rock Cover)

Mystery Carnival - Pokken Tournament (Rock Cover)

The soundtrack to this game is pretty awesome, and I felt like covering something from a newer game. It was definitely one of the harder covers I've done, and I only had about a day and a half to put this and the video together. It was definitely worth it though!

This week's cover

 My special vids will have to wait. I had a week filled with 12-13 hour works days and I finally finished what I had to do, so I had limited time to make something big this week. THAT BEING SAID, this week, I'm making a cover of "mystery carnival" from Pokken Tournament. I checked out the sound...

Slight change of plan for this week

WELLLLLL it looks like I came down with a cold or something. It also made my acid reflux act up, so I'm basically kind of half dead right now with a major headache. I'm still going to make a cover for this week, but it wont be the rpg battle theme medley. Maybe I can try that one next week. But eith...

What's coming next week (hopefully)

Things have been getting quite busy/productive lately! I've been making good use out of the hours in my day to get everything done, and it feels good. I'm trying to throw in a little more effort this week with a secret medley! RPG battle themes! I think this has potential to be pretty cool, as long ...

Dragon Roost Island (Acoustic/Rock Cover)

Dragon Roost Island (Acoustic/Rock Cover)

I know a couple of you have seen this already, but here it is anyway! This is probably one of my favorite covers to date, and it might have to do with the fact that I've been working on a new mix/mastering style for my covers (which I'm quite happy with). I used to have my buddy help me out with the...

What's (hopefully) coming this week

I have 2 videos I want to release this week if I can. The first is actually a new video in  the "HowTo" series. This time it's Nu-Metal. We'll see how that goes :)


The SECOND is actually a bit of a special one, mainly because it's a Patreon request from a high-tier patron! It's Dra...

It was a weird one, but I really wanted to give it a shot. I definitely saw potential in it, and not much people actually covered, so I figured why not? Hope you all enjoy :) More stuff coming..always!

This week's cover

Y'all ever played an infuriating game named "Super Hexagon"? It's so addicting, but damn, it takes awhile to get down. The soundtrack was 70% of the reason I bought it. I still can't tell if that's a good thing or not lol. EITHER WAY, the "hexagonest" theme has always been a really awesome video gam...

DK 64 Rock Rap!

DK 64 Rock Rap!

Bam! It's done :) This one took awhile to get down. I swear the tempo changes from 123 to 124 bpm. I had to lot of cutting edits to fit it all in time. After this, I'm going to do a couple more covers, and then I'm going to also start working on some original projects that I've taken on with othe...

Funny Idea for next week's cover

I've had this habit lately of looking up the DK rap mixed with different songs and having a laugh. Upon going through those, I found a video where someone ripped the vocals clean from the song (he did it just for the sake of more remixes). Of course I got more excited than I should have and downl...

Saria's Theme, Let the Battles Begin (Acoustic and Rock Covers)

I forgot to charge for last week. I'm not going to though. To be honest, I'm pretty thankful for you two guys sticking around like this and supporting me. I wouldn't mind forgetting about charging for a video here and there. I'll have stuff coming up for you guys soon. Once this patreon things pi...

Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul (Metal Cover)

BLAM. Another anime track. The vocals in the original are a bit strange, but the actual notes used are pretty good with the (already sweet) music. I don't know a single thing about this anime, but I'm definitely willing to check it out. Back to video games this week! I've been on a very retro JRPG h...

Ares Boss - Xenoblade X (Rock Cover)

More Xenoblade! I can't get enough of this soundtrack. This one took a bit more work to get everything together. For songs like this one, I usually have 2 drumsets going. One is a standard acoustic, while the other is a heavy techno/electronic kit. It helps make the song a bit punchier and heavie...

Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul?

So as I've said in my past update, I wanted to start doing anime covers as well. One of my biggest suggestions is "Unravel" from Tokyo Ghoul. I've never seen the anime, but the theme has some cool notes I can use in my cover. So this will probably be the next anime song. Do you guys have any suggest...

THE HERO!! (Instrumental Cover)

THE HERO!! (Instrumental Cover)

This is probably one of my favorite covers now. I don't know if its because the original  song is already so amazing, but this was a lot of fun to do. But yeah, I'm also working on anime covers now, so I hope you all enjoy these and more new stuff to come later this year!

Some plans for next year

So I thought you guys would like a little info on some plans I have for 2016! I'm planning on expanding a little more in terms of covers. I would love to cover some anime stuff every once in awhile. I might actually be opening 2016 with a cover of the One Punch Man theme. I have some cool ideas for ...

Spider Dance & U.N Owen Was Her

Well, here they are! The final two covers of December. I made a total of 6 videos this month (I did not make a paid post for each and every one individually, as the number of music videos this month was over the usual limit), all based on requests from fans. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. It was defi...

First Week of Christmas Covers!

First Week of Christmas Covers!

So, if you guys noticed, I had people vote for covers they wanted on my last update video. The ones with a decent amount of votes would be considered. These are the first two that came from it, I'm excited to show you all the rest! Here's the video from wednesday: 2015-12-11 09:23:36 +0000 UTC View Post
