OUTER WILDS: Elegy for the Rings (Metal/Post-Rock Cover)
One of my favourite moments from the Outer Wilds DLC, 'Echoes of the Eye', given a spooky post-rock/metal treatment. (I strongly recommend playing both Outer Wilds and Echoes of the Eye, if you haven't already, before listening to this!)

    One of my friends once said that he liked how the Owlks' main instruments were strings. This remix takes that to a whole new level.

    This cover is so much better than I thought initially. I loved it. It's become one of my favorite songs, period. However, it mirrors the species' journey quite well. It begins with an ominous, somewhat mysterious tone. It gives you something to entice you. It enters the primary section, which you could read as anger or action. The 'metal'. The next section I read as a mix of regret and hope. It's beautiful. It's an attempt at finding peace. Finally, we enter the rejection. A relapse in anger. The species let themselves lose their humanity (owl-manity?). They let themselves die. Finally, they are lost. The song ends in anger. Obviously I'm reading into it more than is likely there. I just love this song a lot.

      @@joshualee5473 Awesome! The whole song just hits so hard, I keep coming back to it, it's a perfect adaptation to a genre that's a perfect fit for it. You kept all the essentials, added from the library and then put your own spin to it. Did you notice Andrew tuned down during River's End, and that's why you move from E to F when the song opens up?

    I'm surprised by how well metal fits with this track, but it makes sense now that I think about it. Given what the people went through, they'd definitely make metal music to express their anguish.

      Ian Jacobson, one of the concept artists has a shirt design under the merchandise section of his Artstation that is a drawing of the Owls in that kind of spiky metal style. Sadly it seems sold out, but it fits them amazingly well. I'm kinda inspired to make an animation with this track now. Imagine how terrifying it would be to have this playing as they chase you (I have no skills in animation whatsoever.)

    Honestly I think the tempo's too slow for Doom, and the acoustic guitar bits don't fit that style at all. But also I love this track as it is, and wouldn't change it in any way.

    Excellent work. The buildup is so well executed and the result is just so powerful. I was also sitting here watching the video like "man it would be so sick if the owlks vanished due to the flood when the song ends" and THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID what a fine detail.

    "The Nomai" track from the OST would also make for an incredible funeral doom cover. Imagine those slow, atmospheric, plodding riffs as a piano plays that somber melody. I can already picture it in my head. You know what? I'm gonna try it.

  • @rohitchaoji
    @rohitchaoji Рік тому

    I have a feeling that too many comments here don't understand that "Doom metal" doesn't have anything to do with Doom (1993, 2, 3, 2016 or Eternal). Hell, the Doom soundtrack is barely even metal if you remove the guitars.
