POKEMON SWORD & SHIELD - GYM LEADER BATTLE

this game isnt even out yet!!!!!!!!!!

I am excited for this game tho, all the designs that I've seen thusfar from this game looks super cute and it looks like theyre actually trying some new fun stuff for the franchise, which I'm a fan of.

I asked publicly last week about what themes I should look at to cover and this one came up a few times. I've covered plenty of pokemon in the past, so this just seemed like a wise bet to me.

If y'all ever have any suggestions for stuff...

EMOTIONAL SKYSCRAPER ~ COSMIC MIND

 eyyy

edit: k this posted when it wasnt supposed to and it didnt charge patrons, so i guess this ones a freebie lol

enjoy!??

OLD TOWN ROAD ft. Jonathan Young

fug

so this was a mess to put together from beginning to end. it's a case of "I've listened to and looked at this god-forsaken thing for so long that I can't even tell what im looking at anymore".

...but I think it's good? kinda? sorta???

lemme know what you think lol - at the very least, rachel and I had fun running around in a desert for the shoot. plus dat natural lighting scenery, oof

also jon can sing good

...

ya

more touhou very likely ne...

JJBA: AWAKEN (PILLAR MEN THEME) || METAL COVER

SURPRISE MORE JOJO SORRY LOL

I had this track laying around for a while after having it recommended to me by a few fans and friends, and it seemed like a logical follow up to release after last week's stardust crusaders cover. Even though I might not really care much for the show/manga, it's undeniable that the OST fuggin SLAPS

...So here you go!! This cover was REAAAAALLY fun to put together and I absolutely adore how it turned out. I hope you all like it too!!

We'll see...

STARDUST CRUSADERS from JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE

hooooo boy what a mess

...so this one has been in the works for a month or two and it's FINALLY, FINALLY done.

I enlisted the help of some of my VGM cover pals to amp up the intensity of this one - so shout outs to them! They are Sab Irene, Insaneintherain, GaMetal, and Ryan Lafford.

Not to mention all of the crazy edits and custom animations and transitions made by my editor Rachel for the video. She has a habit of kinda going above and beyond on some of these crazy proj...

CLOWNPIECE'S THEME: PIERROT OF THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

Happy Independence Day! (If you're American!)

If not, enjoy this somewhat-distantly-related touhou cover! I was setting up to release something else this week, but it occurred to me that it's been a while since I've done a Touhou cover and that I've been getting requests for this particular piece since I started making touhou covers 2 years ago

...and it'd be somewhat relevant I suppose. the stars and stripes and all that.

Anyhow, hope y'all dig the cover. It's honestly p...

BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT - Gears of Fortune

hey, I hope y'all have found time to play this game! Check it out if you haven't!!!

So, Castlevania: SotN is one of my favorites from when I was a kid, and this game is the spiritual successor / logical followup to it. It scratches all those same itches and is really just a lovely game to play (if you can forgive some slightly dated aesthetics)

The OST for this game was also created by one of the composers that worked on SotN - so it REALLY nails that classic metroidvania aesthe...

AGGRETSUKO THEME || METAL COVER

rip voice

this one was fun! I also had to put it together on pretty short notice cuz I'm putting off what was SUPPOSED to be this week's cover.

So here you go!! If you haven't watched this show, I recommend it. It's simultaneously cute and well written as well as extremely bleak and funny - ESPECIALLY if you work in any type of office environment. You can probably binge watch both seasons in a day since the episodes are usually only about 15 minutes.

Go check it out!!! 2019-06-21 22:01:54 +0000 UTC View Post

BANJO-KAZOOIE - Rusty Bucket Bay ft. Ro Panuganti

hey ho WHO HEARD THE NEWS amirite???

I've somehow never covered a Banjo-Kazooie theme. Seems a sin given that it's like the holy grail of game OSTs for most cover artists. I guess I was just more of a SM64 kid... though I haven't covered anything from that game either???

In any case, the BK OST is incredibly influential and memorable for a lot of people my age, and it seems that the recent news with the titular characters' inclusion in smash bros has reignited some of the love f...

Crab Rave (Metal Cover)

oof

so, uh, don't unpledge just yet!! I swear I haven't abandoned VGM! This is admittedly one of the goofier tracks I've covered on my channel tho

I'm not sure how aware most of you are of just how simplistic metal typically is composition-wise. It's Guitar, Drums, a Bass and sometimes a vocalist. A decent producer can take these few simple elements and forge a thrashing beast of a mix out of them.

...but EDM type stuff? Goodness, I don't even know where to begin. All of ...

MAJORA'S MASK: DEKU PALACE - Metal Cover

it's kinda like viking metal

heya all, hope you're doin well. I'm still kinda sorta recovering from my little injury and stuff, but thankfully that hasn't hindered my covering ability for this week

So I like this cover a lot - it turned out really bouncy and fun and silly. The solo was simultaneously infuriating to write and super fun to rehearse once I had it down.

I hope you like it!?? Not sure how popular these older zelda games are now, but they're still somewhat fres...

NIGHT OF NIGHTS (FLOWERING NIGHT)

hello my wrist died in the making of this piece
pls give ur respects

...kidding. This song has been requested for quite a while, ever since I began my touhou covers. It's a remix of a touhou song and it's REALLY REALLY FAST and is basically just a test of endurance to play.

I hope you like it!! Honestly gives me a bit of a eurobeat vibe. Don't get a speeding ticket while listening to this thing, now...

Love you all, lemme know what ya think!

DEVIL MAY CRY 5 - DEVIL TRIGGER (METAL COVER)

oof.

so here we are again with another big dumb collab with a couple of pals from around the continent. I've been getting requests in the comments to cover this for... gosh, like 10 months or something.

Well here you are, it's finally done. The short version anyway.

Couldn't have done it without my vocalists though! LittleVMills was predictably metal as frick and completely destroyed his role as the DMC poster boy, but MAN I forget sometimes how good a singer Lollia is. S...

DEAD OR ALIVE - YOU SPIN ME ROUND

yep.

hope y'all are having a great spring break!! seeya next week!

-Rich

K/DA - POP/STARS ft. Cristina Vee

so this entire project was a big ol' convoluted mess.

...a fun one though! I've got some other stuff in the works planned with Cristina as well, so keep an eye on both of our channels in the coming weeks.

I've been losing some sleep over all the stuff we've been doing lately!!!! So I'm gonna go relax and probably sleep now!!! I hope y'all enjoy the cover cuz we all put a pretty insane amount of work into it!!

have a great weekend!

-Rich

SONG OF STORMS from LOZ: Ocarina of Time

it's everyone's favorite zelda tune

so I've been working my butt off on next week's project and I am SUPER FUCKIN EXCITED TO SHOW IT TO YOU!!!!!

It features a special guest collaborator and we're heading to LA in a few days to film some of it with them.

Until then, enjoy the zelda :)

-Rich <3

POKEMON US/UM - ULTRA NECROZMA THEME

Shoutouts to ToxicxEternity for throwing down on this beast - in person!!

I believe the last time we collabed on something like this was in 2017 or so when we covered E1M1 from doom - always a pleasure workin with the boy. He's a hell of an arranger and guitarist!!

So I'm really overwhelmed with collabs and shit to do right now... like unbelievably so... but man, there is some really cool stuff in the pipeline right now. I think I've got one or two more normal covers before we s...

Halo Theme ft. Jonathan Young

Heya,

Feelin kinda like garbage lately, lads. Perhaps a bit sick? not sure.

I forgot to post this here initially, sorry about that.

Got some cool stuff planned with a bunch of different collaborators in the near future, but for now I should rest lol

enjoy the tune,

PURE FURIES - WHEREABOUTS OF THE HEART

Bullet Hell II: Pellet Heck (official name pending approval) might actually happen, ya know.

I can't guarantee it, nor can I say when it'd actually come to fruition, but it could happen.

Speaking of which - if you weren't aware, Bullet Hell CDs are back in stock on my merch site, if you weren't able to grab one earlier.

MY HERO ACADEMIA: BAKUSATSUOU!! (Bakugo's Theme)

ANIME BOYS and ANIME MEN AHEAD

Here's some more BNHA action for you - though I know it's kinda the off-season. Even though this track is very much in the same vein of You Say Run (which I'm not a huge fan of), I think this track is pretty alright. It's more fun and feels less like it does nothing but builds constantly with no conclusion. It's a fun little bop

Hope y'all dig it!! BTW I'm still seeking cover recommendations, so hit me with any suggestions if you have one and feel ...

SWEET VICTORY ft. CALEB HYLES

TIME TO ROCK OUT LIKE AN OVERWEIGHT DAD IN GUITAR CENTER YEAAAAA

yo so this was... quite the project to get out. Not only was I on a three day limit prior to a flight to finish the mix for this, but Caleb also had a bit of a cold hindering his performance for this.

That being said... I'm pretty dang happy with how it came out. It sounds pretty good I think. Lemme know your thoughts!!!

I'm traveling atm, but I'll be home soon. Be good, won't you?

Love you all,
-R...

BLOODBORNE: LADY MARIA OF THE ASTRAL CLOCKTOWER

I know a lot of folks have been asking for this one for a while.

Hope y'all dig it! I've got a lot of trips coming up soon and am in the preliminary stages of moving, unfortunately... I might be even MORE absent on social media than normal. I apologize about that.

Thank y'all for being so patient with me. I appreciate the heck out of y'all.

Hope you like the cover!!
-Rich

DEARLY BELOVED from KINGDOM HEARTS

I'm not much of a kingdom hearts guy, but I understand that this game is  nostalgic and whimsical fun for a lot of you - hence all the requests  and this subsequent cover.

I didn't really see much of a point in taking  a relatively simple track which is clearly meant to be emotional and  sentimental and turning it into a shredfest, so this is more of just a  building post-metal type thing.

I hope y'all dig it!!  I was originally planning on a bloo...

SNAKE MAN THEME from MEGA MAN 3

eyyy it's been a minute since some good ol' fashioned mega men

I often find myself going overboard with instrumentation on covers; a string section here, some synth backing there, piano, synth bass, booms, chip shit, horns, bells, whistles, bah...

Mega Man music is fun and simple to cover because it's basically just covering a 80s/90s instrumental metal band. Bass, Guitar, Drums. That's it. Adding anything else to the mix kinda taints the tried-and-true formula of a 3-to-4 membe...

HIGH ABOVE THE LAND from SHOVEL KNIGHT

hey heyyyyyy im BACK with a BRAND NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!


...I forgot to upload this video to patreon. I'm out of state right now tending to some personal stuff, and had to pull the ol' one-two-skipafew-99-upload the video at the airport from my phone strat.

Suffice all that to say that this one's on me. No charge for patrons this time :)

and we'll see y'all next week! I'm gonna find the time to start on the first tab from the 2018 wrap-up poll here pretty soon too. I'm not ...

BOWSER'S INSIDE STORY - FINAL BOSS THEME

The remake of this game comes out tomorrow! Wild to think that the original is a decade old already...

Hope y'all dig this week's cover, I've been attempting to clean up my mixes a bit more lately since I have a bit of a nasty habit of going overboard on the loudness and general raucousness most of the time... though I doubt most people will tell the difference.

See y'all next week! We'll have to figure out how to split the tie for 2nd place on the recent tab poll soon...

Elite Four Battle from Pokemon R/S/E

ahoy lads,

it's the new year and here we got a cover of a piece from my favorite pokemon gen!! Gen III's soundtrack is just so good, INCLUDING THE TRUMPETS (YES ACTUALLY I LOVE THEM)

idk this gen is just super nostalgic and fun for me and I've always loved the music and aesthetic of this game... yeh.

Not sure what I'm doing for next week, but I do have a fair bit of travel left to do before I can finally take a break. I've been on at least one flight every other week sinc...

DELTARUNE: RUDE BUSTER (ft. Ace Waters)

finally this one

enjoy y'all, gotta get ready for more holiday traveling and stuff.

We'll see ya next week! (hopefully!!)

-Rich

P.S. tabs coming soon, don't worry.

DELTARUNE: CHAOS KING (ft. FamilyJules)

yooooo how we doin lads

I'm still in Japan at the moment, I'll be heading back to the US in a few days. Sorry for being absent online somewhat!

Shoutouts to Jules for providing a solo on this boy!

It's 9am here in Tokyo, and I gotta get going. I might also have to miss an upload next week whilst battling inevitable jetlag. We'll see!!

Seeya soon!(??)
-Rich

TOKYO GHOUL - UNRAVEL ft. OR3O

yoooo this was a heckload of work.

The full verson will be coming to or3o's channel soon - keep an eye out!! we both put a lot of work into this one to get it sounding as close to perfect as possible!

I'm about to get on a 12 hour flight to Tokyo, so I may be somewhat inactive online for a while. I'm not done with deltarune either, check back next week for that.

Enjoy!!!!!!
-Rich
