A channel where I will make metal covers of my favorite video game songs.
Medieval 2: Total War - War of Kings (Metal Cover)
A metal rendition of War of Kings from Medieval 2: Total War.
I had been scared to do this one for so long because of how intricate and intense it is. I felt like I could never truly capture the magic of this one but I think I did a pretty decent job. As always, this one always got me going in the heat of battle and made every encounter that much more intense.
I always run into a wall with these songs because of "vocals"... I want to stay as close to the original as possible, but I don't want to sound silly going "hee-hoo-haa" on the recording. I decided to write some lyrics to this one and I think they turned out pretty good, turning this into a full-fledged metal song.
I have also stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to record myself actually playing though the songs. I know it's more like a music video style, but I think that's the norm here on youtube. I'm planning on making all future content like this... Which may take me longer to produce... And I know I already only release content during the summer... BUT I PROMISE TO TRY AND BE BETTER!!!!
Lyrics:
Marching to war again
Let the banners fly
Steel and bone will break our foes
Meeting on the battlefield
Where our fates collide
They can't break or overtake us
March, March, Ready
March, March, See
Honor and glory wait for us in eternity
Truth in blood spilled will be our only sanctity
Pray for me
Set us free
War of Kings
Now we strike them
No mercy
Never bide them
so heed me
Cleave through them
Blood running
Run right through them
Unyielding

Rome: Total War - Army of Drums (Metal Cover)
Переглядів 2,2 тис.11 місяців тому
A metal rendition of Army of Drums from Rome Total War. This one was a lot of fun to put together. It isn't too complicated but when it hits that climax, it really is super awesome. I am trying my best to get better about mixing, and so hopefully all the parts come through correctly and it isn't too much of an auditory mess. For the middle section I had to get a little creative and pull out my ...

A re-done metal rendition of Destiny from Total War: Medieval 2! I have finally decided to start redoing all my old m2tw tracks! I did them long ago when I knew very little about recording and I was still really bad at guitar. I decided this one would be a good one to do first to get back into the swing of things. M2TW has always been my favorite in the franchise, being in my favorite historica...
Rome: Total War - Divinitus (Metal Cover)
Переглядів 3,7 тис.Рік тому
A metal rendition of Divinitus from Rome Total War. I wasn't too sure if this one would work as a metal song, but out of all of them, this one seems the most like a regular metal song that you could find on any album. It was super fun to make and I really got to show my vocals off. I did take some liberties and didn't follow the background instrument to the T this time, more following the overa...

A metal rendition of Romantic Battle from Rome Total War. Woah, what a track! This one was pretty challenging to make, but I definitely had fun while also REALLY pushing at my abilities. There are so many intricate things happening in this song and I tried my best to bring all of them out. I finally made a new little studio so I'm learning all the little nuances of my new programs. I hope to gr...
Rome: Total War - Mayhem (Metal Cover)
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
A metal rendition of Mayhem from Rome Total War. This song always got my blood pumping in the heat of battle. The charging drums and awesome syncopation really gets you in the mood for blood. Hopefully you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it. I got some new equipment so hopefully you can hear the difference. Composed by: @Jeff van Dyck
Rome: Total War - Warrior March (Metal Cover)
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
A metal rendition of Warrior March from Rome Total War. This song is usually used as a transition from deployment to the actual fighting. It's a simple song but highly effective in setting up the tension you feel getting ready for a big fight. It was hard to truly capture the dynamics of the piece, so let me know how I did. P.S. I finally learned how to capture video so I'll be using my own foo...
Rome: Total War - Melee Cafe (Metal Cover)
Переглядів 13 тис.2 роки тому
A metal rendition of Melee Cafe from Rome Total War. A brutal and blood pumping track, "Melee Cafe" always got me ready for battle when I would play. This song just oozes attitude and perfectly captures the feeling of being mid-battle. Composed by: @JeffvanDyckMusic Awesome background video: @WarAndHistory. I wrote lyrics for this as well: Gladius, scutum Gladium capto; Scutum attollere; Gloria...
Rome: Total War - Theme (Metal Cover)
Переглядів 15 тис.2 роки тому
A metal rendition of the main theme from Rome Total War. This is something I have always wanted to cover but felt I could never do justice to. This piece is filled with luscious chords and is so full of wonder and mystery, fully capturing the mind of tiny little me the first time I played Rome Total War, selling me on the glory of Rome. Composed by: @JeffvanDyckMusic Awesome background video: @...
Amen - M2TW Metal Cover
Переглядів 4,4 тис.9 років тому
This song was always one of my favorites because of the Gregorian chants and just how purely amazing it is. Plus, instead of random syllables, there are actual lyrics to this song! It's a very atmospheric song, and even metalized it works. If you like what you heard then please, by all means, comment on what you would like to hear me cover next!

Crack Your Head With a Tabla - M2TW Metal Cover
Переглядів 2,7 тис.9 років тому
This song always got me pumped when in the middle of a battle and it was one of the first songs I ever thought could work as a metal/rock track. I'm hoping to have a video up every Saturday, and if I can't manage that, I would like to have atleast 2 or 3 videos up a month whenever I can. If you like what you heard then please, by all means, comment on what you would like to hear me cover next! ...
Did They Have to Die Today - M2TW Metal Cover
Переглядів 1,5 тис.9 років тому
I was really excited to do this one because I thought it would be interesting trying to find the harmonies on the guitar to the lead line. I substituted the church bells with trumpet because I don't own church bells but I do own a trumpet, so there's that. I also added my own little spice to it so I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching! I'm hoping to have a video up every Saturday, and if I can'...

I would like to see a cover of The Enemy is Near.
Please War of Kings next :)
Done :)
@@darthstormtroopermetal man, you are a legend :D
Nah... Can't beat the original.
It would be amazing to have a full conversions of the soundtrack to mod into the game.
🤟😎👍
The gods be praised! The enemy general is dead! His men know their doom approaches!
This sounds straight out of 300.
2:16 is magnificently done! I can definitely see that you were pushing yourself!
Имба!😎
Any chance for a cover for Journey to Rome Part 2?:)
Can you do an S&M version and Destiny too?
Anyone else who is a fan of both RTW and Mad Max and who thinks that this sounds like something the Doof Warrior would be seen playing?
Yeah. I won more than 100 times that game. I left no barbarians
Please can you make another remix of this song? I was thinking it starts with vanilla destiny x2 and then before the die off go rock x2 long then finish with the vanilla ending. Oh and please do soldier's chant.
Actually please s n m the later rock part
I’ll try, my dude! But that might take me some time to get it just right. Especially since I want to do some other tracks as well, but it’s something I’ll work on. 🤘🏻
brings a tear to my eye
Holy BANGER
Sounds F-ing awesome, nice job, mate!
When your army is completely surrounded and you're desperately driving off endless barbarian hordes
Some Red Alert vibes.
Can you S&M this? Would Epic, use original tracking and rendition track.
That’s a good idea, I’d just have to find a way to make it not so muddy and interfering with each other. 😅
Finally some good fucking music.
Great, would fit perfectly for Total War Genghis Khan
Based. Reminds me of Mr. White Tuber for some reason.
ROMA INVICTA
FLORRY SENT ME!
Why does this remind me of System of a Down so much?
I played rome total war and medieval 2, now my rome total war cd rom is broken with my heart…😢 I will buy rome 2 total war
This is fantastic! Good work.
You fight for your gods, ye Punics. We'll be more than glad to send you to see them.
This sounds like the song that should play while Rome is on fire and burning to the ground while Nero plays his guitar.
If i understand correctly the song is about being pressured to kill yourself by the senate. This track is like when the Vandals sack Rome and avenge you hahaha
This is amazing! I've listened to these for years and you have completely renewed my love for them, please make more! You're an amazing artist
Salve. It's glorious... I am waiting the version with the correct pronuciation.
I need to wear the armor to battle
