Hey guys!
It feels great to be back on a Final Fantasy VII jam once again! This soundtrack has so many beautiful compositions that I can't resist learning how to play and putting my own spin on it.
I've been wanting to do Mako Reactor for a while but I've been purposely waiting until I feel like my audio production has gotten too a point where I can do this track the most justice. This particular theme isn't necessarily about the guitar skill involved but mainly how rad and metal as heck it can sound (which hugely relies on production capabilities). I spent a ton of time trying to get everything as huge as I could and I'm super happy with how this cover turned out. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!
➤ The original "Mako Reactor" theme from the game "Final Fantasy VII" was composed by Nobuo Uematsu
➤ Thank you to ballerscuba for the game footage! Check out his playthrough of FF7!

I have never, NEVER, heard such a brilliant version of this song. Thank you Sir!
Rhythmically speaking, the Mako Reactor theme reminds me of a swinging pendulum of a clock.
From an atmospheric point of view, it makes me imagine the last few minutes of the Earth moving closer to the sun just before it catches on fire. Toxic, your renditions are spot on, and your sound productions are incredible. You deserve a much bigger audience.
Man, legit FF7 is probably the reason I love metal and prog so much. FF7 is basically a crazy progrock album
iTunes and Amazon mp3 links are up in the description if you wanna blast some video game metal at a red light - Thanks so much for listening and let me know what you'd like to hear next!
The links aren't there for me. It still says "➤ Download will be available within 24 hours! Check back soon!"
:c
EDIT (1 hour later): Okay, it's there now. :3 I might buy it another time, though.
ToxicxEternity You should try to attempt JENOVA, bro! I know it's been done by others, but i think it'd sound amazing in your style. Plus it looks like it'd be loads of fun to learn/play
OMG dude ! I would never expect a version of this song as powerful as you made ! Thanks a lot for your beautiful job !
I remember back in the day I was proud of myself for working out the theme for Zells hometown from Ff8 on acoustic but you've taken it to a new level! Awesome cover!
This is easily one of my favorite songs in all of VGM and you did a damn good job Jack!
Omg omg omg omg omg i love you. the first song i ever attempted to cover when i was like ten 18 years ago. i knew the potential this song had and you brought it out. congrats man on this masterpiece
Man FF7 really has the best OST of the whole serie!
And once again you made an amazing job !
Generally yes... However Crisis Core (also FFVII) and the Crystal Chronicles(Ring of Fates/Echos of Time) also got amazing tunes.
Sheer perfection!!!
Edit: I really must thank you for being very minimalistic with your arrangements. I've heard others that are way too busy.
this is so fucking epic, brings back so many memories and you still managed to capture so of the dark tones even with the metal sound
Sounds every bit as sinister as the original.
This one and Kirby's Gourmet Race cover, in my opinion, has the most seamless intro I have ever listened to before in a cover of a song, in the history of cover songs, maybe ever. Perhaps a nonsensical detail the one I speak of, just felt the need to highlight it. Massive props, Mr. ToxicxEternity. ;)
Thanks so much!
Agreed. I don't even really like Kirby music that much, but his covers give them colourful metal life.
This is so heavy and imposing, I love that ominous vibe. Awesome job with the cover and the mix!
I love it when you add a "splash" of some traditional video game instrument from the original track.
Amazing fills you've added everywhere
This is my favorite from final fantasy. I could listen to mako reactor all day and this cover is just out of this world. I can't stop listening to this version. Love it!!!
Such a fantastic opening to a video game, gives a haunting and intense theme to set the tension for the rest of the game. Great cover as always.
Discovered this channel today. I gotta say, after listening to a few metal covers of Final Fantasy, that I enjoy it!! Keep up the good work!! 🤘
"This isn't just a reactor!!"
Honest to God ToxicxEternity I have no idea how you don't have more subs. I've been listening to your tracks more and more cuz their just soooo good. Keep up the great work man.
This was actually one of my big favourites from the game, and you did a great job with it, I am amazed. Thank you
I'm really into the more atmospheric cuts like this and vah rudania, so good.
This sounds so massive \m/
Thanks so much! :D I tried to level up my mixing game super hard for this
It's so heavy I tip the scales when I stand on them while listening to this.
One of the best covers I've heard of this song! Well done!
Good god, you bodied this song! What a crunchy, disgusting cover! Love it. Discovered you via your collabs with GaMetal and now I'm going down your rabbit hole.
God damn!! This cover is absolutely beautiful. Just finished another play through of this game recently and hearing this was just fantastic. Had no idea you'd be able to improve it like this!
Fantastic work! I love it!
I can only imagine Toxic having a blast while doing Birth of a God cover. Most excellent work indeed,grats Toxic
damn dude, you fucking knocked it out of the park! this is easily your best cover.
All your FF7 covers should be featured in the remake
At first, as the intro was playing, I thought this was the same as any other of the filthy marks who try to be slick throwing a midi into a DAW like Fruity Loops. After the intro, I was wrong. That nasty riff hit me like a mack truck. Very nice!
Just discovered the channel and I'm loving the ff7 covers. They stay true to the original but add just the right amount of personality as others have said. I feel like you're missing an opportunity in making a metal version of J-E-N-O-V-A as I think you would nail it. Wicked skills man love it
Blown away, even on phone speakers. can't wait to listen again on my pc
Holy FUCKING SHIT DUDE. This is so badass it makes me wonder how you'd make Those Chosen By The Planet happen. Same big ominous bassline shit, y'know?
That is ace! I really love watching you get into the music, so good!
Hey man, really appreciate what you do.
Very happy to have come across your work!
You've earned another sub :)
I humbly request an extended version of the Mako Reactor theme! Great work!
bordel tu t'es littéralement arraché sur ce remix ! c'est une tuerie absolue!
you absofuckinglutelely nailed 1:04 onwards! that part rung parts in my nostalgia i had no idea existed.
I really want a sandy badlands remix man! you have no idea.
so far I've heard your version and Artificial Intelligence's version. both are quite pleasing
Awesome you kick me back in 2001 when i play FF7 for the firt time ! You should make a Cd of FF7 song ! i will buy it !
I got chills man. It's so EPIC!!
This track absorb the whole Mako Reactor Energy how strong and Powerfull it is⚡⚡⚡⚡
Great Work 🎼🎧👍😁😎
damn this shit is on point! your covers are amazing, keep it up
This was always one of my favourites. Amazingly done dude.
I always did love FF7's soundtrack. Nice work Mr. Metal! (makes devil horns w/both hands)
Sick! You just inspired me to make my own version of this
Every time I watch one of your covers I feel 20 years younger.
Damn ! that's sooooooooo good and deep
So much better of a remake than in the FF7 remake
Duuuude! I love it!
never really liked this song in the original game but this version I can totally get on board with!
Chuggalicious boyo! Good ol' FFVII tunage :P
Hey Toxic, busting out that heavy metal materia again? so OP.
That tele looks awesome
Amazing job man! Fantastic cover and I would love to hear even more of FFVII.
omg XD would love to hear you do Devil's lab (Magitek Factory) From FF VI
DragonofDarkness13 seconded
I love these so much. As soon as I see "Final Fantasy" on one your videos, I jump. Just a word from a fan of your talent, though. I would LOVE to see some original arrangements. You already proved that you've got plenty of voice for metal in your work with Jonathon Young. Why not put that to use with your musical talent and create something that's all you? I would be so excited to listen to it.
I appreciate that a ton! I actually do compose original music with my band Singularity. We're writing a new full length album this year. As far as solo original music, I'd really like to give that a shot as it'd be a new experience for me. Maybe in 2018 if I have a bit of time. Thanks!
Radically awesome job!
fucking epic man! 10/10
This is the kind of metal people love hearing, my god!
Perfect vibrato!
Holy shit, that was awesome dude! Great rendition. ( and sick shirt too \m/ )
Love it
Love the metal love the game and love sticking it to the Shinra
Bro this sounds freakin Dope!
I love you going S L O W A N D L O W. I'm gonna climb into a nuke reactor brb
I wasn't too sure about something for a while. But then I saw the N64. So I can forgive the Line 6 :P haha!
I love it ! liked, ans shared ! ;) Please don't stop working :)
They should use your covers for the ff7 remake because they are absolutely stunning bro great job man
Pure badassery!
Fuck yea son. Love all the FF7 covers.
If you liked covering this theme, you would love some of the music in Cave Story. I can easily see you turning the Mimiga Graveyard theme into a power ballad.
Duuude, Excellent!
too good! nice work Man !
This was awesome man great job!!!
This. is. AMAZING
This is just good music regardless of it being from FF7.. Quality work man
Love the shirt 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is superb dude!
I still stand saying I'd much rather have your versions of the songs on the games they originated from.
“Sephiroth…SOLDIER… Mako Reactors… Shinra… Everything! I hate them all!"
Amazing dude! You just gained a sub! Rock ON!!!
Holy fuck this is epic
I wish I could like this more than once.
Amazing cover man!
PERFECT!!!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!!!
