Sylvalum (Night) - Xenoblade Chronicles X (Electronic/Rock Cover)

I tried being a little more experimental with this one. I've been wanting to cover it for awhile and I just had to get it out, so here it is! I hope you guys enjoy. The original theme is probably one of my favorite songs...ever.

Tomorrow's Cover

Yeah...kinda late! My apologies, guys. I wasn't sure if I was actually going to have time to make one this week until a few hours ago. Been a little too busy and a little too tired. And to make it even better, this cover is actually a little experimental lol!  This will either end up pretty sweet, or a beautiful mess. But either way, it'll be fun :) The cover is the "Sylvalum" night theme from Xenoblade X. I'm fusing some metal guitars to some electronic stuff. Nothing too crazy. Mainly chi...

Free download of my new song (for a future video OOooooOOo)

This will be the song used in my "how to make a metalcore song" video! I came up with the idea in like...1-2 hours and then I recorded right away. I actually used to write a lot of metal back in the day (I was even in a metal band), but now my style is kind of in the rock/swing/punk area. It's still fun to go back and try the old style though! This will be up for sale, but patrons get it free :D

Another new video update

This one won't be a paid post, because it will be released in the same week as a cover, and I made a rule where I wouldn't charge more than once a week. THAT BEING SAID, if anyone here is a fan of my "how to" series, I'm releasing a new one soon. "How to make a metalcore song" coming soon. I'm putting it up for sale like my other originals, but everyone here will get it for free (WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT) :D. I'll probably put up my other original for free on here too! Stay tuned.

Justice RIP (Storm) - Fire Emblem Fates (Metal Cover)

The hype train doesn't stop! It's a great soundtrack, and I've been meaning to do a couple of these songs for awhile. I figure this is the best time because this is when it's most popular. I'll keep you guys updated on future stuff as it comes! ALSO...there will be some behind the scenes videos for that special cover coming up. :D

This week's cover + future cover ideas

This week, I'm going back to a little Fire Emblem fates with the track "Justice RIP (Storm)". I'm still really digging this soundtrack, and I figured I would do some now while it's still relevant :) After this week...I'm not completely sure what's next. I have a couple ideas. Like...

Trailer Theme - Breath of the Wild (Acoustic/Rock Cover)

This was a hell of a fun time. The hype from the trailer really made this more fun than it should have been! I'm glad to see so many people enjoyed it as well! in 2 days, it almost had 3K views. Awesome stuff :D

This week's cover.

That new Zelda trailer had a pretty cool song, don't you think? I really want to give it a shot. I'm going to see if I can figure it out and record it by the end of this week. If not, I'll let you guys know what else I'll do! :D

A small thank you message + 10K special cover announcement

You Will Know Our Names from Xenoblade Chronicles! Why? 2 reasons: It's probably the most requested song on my channel, to the point where it became a joke among fans. The second reason is...it's probably my favorite video game song of all time, next to Stickerbrush Symphony.


"You Will Know Our Names" is also a fitting title for what I'm striving for in life. I want my name to be known, and I want to make things that loads of people will enjoy. This is the life and responsibili...

Kirby Week Covers!

Kirby week is over! The challenge was to upload 5 covers every day this week (starting monday) until the release of Robobot, and it's finally over. It was a load of fun, but balancing normal work life and 5 covers at a time will probably be something I'm going to take a little break from lol! As I said, this whole week will only count as one paid post! I hope you all enjoyed (and if you're a Kirby fan, I hope you enjoy the new game!)

P.S A small note on some accidental declined pledges

I noticed that some of you have been missing some posts of mine because Patreon rejected your info/pledges. Some of you asked me about it, so I thought I would just make this message here. If your status is "declined", be sure to double check your info! To the patrons higher than $5, I'll still be putting out the rewards and you'll be in the credits :) Thank you for the support!

Brother's Keeper - Uncharted 4 (Rock Cover) Early Download

Yup. A bit of a strange choice, but I loved this game and I wanted to experiment turning an orchestral movie-type song into a rock song. I'll talk about it more when the video is up. I'll also let you guys know what's happening for the next 2 weeks tomorrow :)

What's to come next week

I'm still deciding and I'll update you guys as the week goes on. I've been REAALLY into kirby and the franchise's music recently and I really want to do more, but I just did one 2 weeks ago and I don't know if people will be happy with one right after. Guess I'll see. If you guys want to hear something from Planet Robobot, let me know! Other than that, I might do the theme from JoJo part 4 and "V has come to" from MGSV is also another option. OR maybe I can take on a classic Nintendo song. I hav...

Road Taken (Roar) - Fire Emblem Fates (Rock Cover)

More Fire Emblem hype! People really wanted to hear this one, and I thought it sounded great, so it was only a matter of time. If any of you are Fire Emblem fans, I hope you're enjoying the game!

Moonstruck Blossom - Kirby Triple Deluxe (Rock Cover)

Kirby music is honestly some of the best music out there. Looking at some of the art, most people would think it's all random happy tracks. But at it's core, it's to much more than that. Awesome stuff!

Moonstruck Blossom (Rock Cover) - Early WAV

YUP I was in a huge kirby mood, and people have been asking for this one since forever. Here's an early download. I'll talk about it more when the video goes up. Stay tuned!

New rewards for $5 and $10 Patrons! See here

Hey guys, I appreciate the amount of support you've been giving me over these months. I decided to add some new rewards because...I've been wanting to do it for a while. I can't thank you guys enough for an opportunity like this, and I'm always trying to think of some new rewards for you guys that wouldn't end up interfering with my actual music work. I have some here, and I will definitely have more in the future. Thanks again!

Forest Maze - Super Mario RPG (Acoustic/Rock Cover)

This is probably one of my most favorite covers that I've done. It might have to do with my immense love for this game. It was plenty of fun. Also, I'm not sick anymore! Thanks for all your support and get well messages! I really appreciated them :) I have another post coming on some new patron rewards. Sit tight.

Some new rewards coming

Hey guys! Just wanted to mention that some tiers will be receiving some new rewards soon! I've been trying to come up wit more rewards lately that wouldn't be too demanding on my schedule, and I'll continue to do so to make things more entertaining here.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I am very sick and I feel like ass. I have some crazy aching going on all over my body, so it's kind of a chore to move. That being said, I don't know if there will be a new video this week. I might upload an older video t...

Cover coming this week

The Rawk Hawk Cover from TTYD will be coming out a little later than expected, but it will still be happening! For this week however, I'll be doing seomthing from Starfox Zero (very likely "Return to Corneria") just to add to the hype. Plus, it sounds great, and I think I can do some pretty cool stuff with it!

End of All - Fire Emblem Fates (Metal Cover)

This was a tough one to do. All the tempo/key changes were quite a challenge to learn, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. It also has more views than my other covers in the past weeks, so it seems to be a quite successful one (for me, at least!). I will provide the titles of some upcoming songs soon. Stay tuned, and thanks for your continued support!
