This was a Patreon Request from Wizauron! Thanks for your support!
It's been a while since I've done a Patreon request and I was more than happy to take this one on since I've been playing Nier: Replicant a good amount since it came out. I actually was also inspired by FalKKonE's cover of this song after hearing it on my Spotify discover weekly playlist and it was instantly stuck in my head and I had my own ideas of how to take it on. It actually came as a later arrangement idea to play the first half on classical guitar, the original idea being a lead guitar choral thing like I did for my last Rise of Nations cover. I think it was nice to break out the classical guitar again.
I did the filming for this video myself, similiar to how I did God of the Dead from Hades. It's so cool getting to have the human element of handicam for these videos, but it's tough getting that for each week, so I may be moving toward this method in the future while trying to find ways of achieveing the music video style in a way I can just do solo. I hope it was still engaging and fun to watch! This was a monumental arrangement so I really do hope you enjoy listening.
It was my birthday last Friday! This is my first guitar cover as a 30 year old boychild. I'll tell you what, I did NOT expect to still be doing this into my 30's when I started at the age of 19. Someone buy me a video game themed coffin as I'm one step in the grave now. ☠

This was a patreon request from Wizauron! He dropped this in the Patreon Discord and I was happy to take it on since I've been really going hard on this game ever since it came out. I'm a huge fan of Nier so it's been an absolute treat to play these pieces now that the remake has released and it getting played by more and more people. Let me know if you're still playing and enjoying it and I hope you like my cover of Shadowlord!
As always, the full tab to this cover is available to my Silver Level Supporters and the MP3 and WAV is available to my Gold Level Supporters! Thank you!!
All of your Nier covers are amazing!!! As for the game... I am waiting on a full crop of White Moonflowers lol
That mermaid track is a banger tho amiright.. .. pls... louise needs this
This sounds so ridiculously good on nylon string! Thank you for making this! :D
You did for us a great favor !
Loved the big contrast between first and second part !
Happy birthday and good cover. My friend brought over Nier. Time to get to it. Watched her play a bit.
I'm totally here for you to slowly cover every song in the NieR catalogue
Yessssssss
Amen!! Pls upvote that comment
I'm totally here for Jules to slowly cover every single of every catalogue, everything he works on is so good
@@guguig9746 While I would love for that to happen, it wouldn’t be the case. New games are coming out every day as I speak!
@@jcg.317 I was merely jesting ^^
I appreciate his work whatever he chooses to work on!
Two entities, both halves of the same whole, each fighting desperately to achieve their own vision of the same goal. To bring back someone they love.
One's victory could give mankind hope, the other's will doom it.
Humanity never had any hope.
I think you'll find that Replicants were relapsing even before Nier started his little quest. The system is collapsing in on itself and the Twins are desperately trying to hold it together. Such a shame that neither Replicant Nier nor the Shadowlord are willing to do the things they need to do to fix it.
That's the thesis statement of the game, really - neither Nier or the Shadowlord are in the right, because you don't have to be crazy to doom the world, just think yourself justified.
Gestalt Nier "saving" his sister only to watch her die from terminal illness soon after wouldn't give mankind hope though. Shoving those souls into bodies they no longer belong to won't change the fact that they are already corrupted.
@@nelsonw9483 it would stand that putting a lock on the bodies so that no kids can happen was also a terrible idea
@@ProvostZarakov Indeed. Very, very poor planning on our part.
Love this new "Existential Metal" genre. Really pushing the envelope of music.
doom metal?
@@user-cj4fu8qq9b Is this considered doom metal? I thought doom metal was kinda like sludge metal?
This more-so falls under Neoclassical Power Metal for me, this kind of vibe is excellently performed by Galneyrus. The song Longing (their more somber version of Angel of Salvation) falls in a similar ballpark, and I guess Rain of Tears does something similar too.
@@creativebeetle Ooh, thanks! This is very interesting. I love when I'm memeing and people take the time to teach me things under those comments.
@@rhymeswithmoose228 No worries! Fun things come from unexpected places I guess. I completely Poe's Law-ed your comment :)
Gotta love that you kept the buildup just like the original had. One of the best parts of the original is how haunting the first part is before going into full on epic mode.
Title: [METAL]
Me: *sees acoustic guitar*
Me: Hmmm
Also me: *remembers songs long build up intro*
Also me: *gets **_very_** excited*
“You expect me to sympathize with you?!” - Nier
Ouch :'(
Yep then rip real yonah and rip project gestalt.. 💀
@@MonsteRNieR I know this is a late reply but I both Yonahs are real. The original Yonah basically says that to the Shadowlord. Both versions of either of them are just as valid, and she couldn't bear to keep Replicant Yonah away from her brother.
@@noobkilerv2 agreed, they both had the same goal tbh to save their beloved.
@@noobkilerv2 I only feel sorry for popola and devola and Emil.. they didn’t do anything wrong
"It was about 10 years ago when we were working on the original Drakengard that I thought about the meaning of “killing.” I was looking at a lot of games back then, and I saw these messages like “You’ve defeated 100 enemies!” or “Eradicated 100 enemy soldiers!” in an almost gloating manner. But when I thought about it in an extremely calm state of mind, it hit me that gloating about killing a hundred people is strange. I mean, you’re a serial killer if you killed a hundred people. It just struck me as insane. That’s why I decided to have the army of the protagonist in Drakengard be one where everyone’s insane, to create this twisted organization where everyone’s wrong and unjust. I wanted to weave a tale about these twisted people.
And then we worked on Nier…We created this game called Nier, and after the world experienced the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq, we were being bombarded with updates on terrorist organizations and activities even in Japan. That’s when my opinion changed. The vibe I was getting from society was: you don’t have to be insane to kill someone. You just have to think you’re right. So that’s why I made Nier a game revolving around this concept of “being able to kill others if you think you’re right,” or “everyone believes that they’re in the right.”"
Oh wow I just got ending E this morning so this song feels like it's a part of me after all of that
But we arent going back
These aren't "tears" simply fluids that leak from my face from headbanging so hard
Excess brain leakage
Another Nier song! Now I’m REALLY tempted to buy the game… is it worth it?
Yes it is. If you like being depressed
It's one of the best stories ever told in a video game.
Music alone is worth
Thanks to all of you who are pushing me to get the game! I really wanna try it but…I’m broke…
It depends. Combat, music, story, controls, visuals are all great and absolutely enjoyable, but there is a good amount of outdated design that you might not like. Is a strange and different game with a lot to appreciate and i love it, but not everyone might like, so do a little research and see if it is what you want
This is a song about doing whatever it takes, anything to save the one person who matters the most. Damning all the consequences, casting aside any doubts and simply forcing your way through any obstacle. A single minded determination that doesn't care about any other side of the conflict. Both sides of this battle see things this way, and it results in the end of humanity because of it.
This song does such a brilliant job of capturing these apocalyptic stakes, a battle that was never meant to happen. This cover is amazing, thank you for creating it. The best part about the NieR Replicant remaster is now everyone can experience the original soundtrack that Automata borrowed so much from.
I literally JUST bought the Nier series on steam (never played before) So this is fitting haha
Hope you enjoy your stay and didn't got any spoilers, they're amazing narrative experiences with really neat combat
Make sure you have enough tissues
And no not in the fun way. You will need them for crying.
Don't forget to play it all the way 3 times! That's very important. And have fun ^^
Prepare to get your soul crushed.
@@itwasmewasntit2448 I'll mark this as a spoiler for other people reading but,
It's one full playthrough through the story and the next two are starting from the time skip.
I just want to say, after playing this game, Grandma and Shadowlord became two of my favorite tracks in all of gaming, and your metal covers of them are some of the best music I have ever heard. Thank you for making me fall in love with this game's soundtrack more.
So beautiful 😭
I'd be down for a full hour or two of nier music on that acoustic guitar.
Thank you, Nier Automata, or specifically, 2B's ass, for bringing notice to the magnificent tragedy that is the original Nier. I was depressed for a whole month after finishing it, back in the day.
Also, can you do a metal version of Ballad of the Goddess in honor of Zelda’s 35th anniversary??? It would totally rock
I would love that too. However, the last time I requested a cover here on YT, it didn’t happen. Maybe ask him on Patreon?
a month ago, I requested he did “ugh” and he did, but never mentioned the request. guess its safe to say he might only take requests from patreon.
@@SV2VA You got really lucky with the Ugh cover, that’s for sure!
@@SV2VA ok
EPIC!!
Don’t forget:
they were ours to begin with.
I can't believe you did it. I was waiting for this but never thought you'd do, i'm really happy
I haven't listened to your covers in a while, not totally sure why. Then this popped up on my YT homepage and ofc I clicked on it because Shadowlord is one of the greatest pieces of VGM ever composed. And you absolutely nailed this one. The classical intro fits perfectly. The playing there is particularly clean and fantastically mixed. And then the metal part hits. I wasn't the biggest fan of the rift intro before it fully comes in, but those doubts were instantly removed. Your rhythm guitar work is fantastic and captures the frantic energy of the original in a way that few other covers do. Love this one, guess I need to go back and listen to your other covers I missed then.
"You want me to understand your sadness? You think I'm going to sympathize with you? I swore to protect my sister and my friends. If someone puts them in danger, they must stand aside or be cut down! Come on! Let's go!"
This as well as many lines feel so weak coming from the brother version considering most people would rather do everything for their offspring than their siblings. And yes, regardless of what people say about Japan.
@@Cetra29 maybe for yonah but not nier friends
It's all for her
Anything, and everything
All for You
Yonah
How did you know I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for weeks?
Considering I'm on the verge of 100%ing the game, I feel like the timing of this video is perfect. Great job man.
My god, you want to 100% it??? As if the story itself wasn't suffering enough, sheesh
Godspeed to you
@@UltimaPhoenix-dx3kt being a completionist is pain sometimes but I'm getting close I just have to collect more materials to upgrade more weapons
The goddamn Flower growing achievement was the worst one 100%
I wasn’t expecting the classic guitar during the first half despite me never hearing of the game itself before now
Hell yeah! Give Nier some much deserved love. Keep on rockin
I’m so happy this song has been getting so much attention. This is probably one of the saddest songs I’ve heard in a video game.
Omg thank you yes this is my favorite track from the game you are the best man this is the definitive cover!!!!! I hope you know how much this game means to me from the first time I played it in 2012
Have you done Shadowlord's Castle? I always think of Xenoblade Chronicles X when hearing this because I was late-game when finding this song.
I would kill for Gods Bound By Rules yooooooo
love that facial hair jules
Yes! More NieR music, it always makes my day
Unoriginal comment:
Dad: Are you winning son?
Son: No dad...no one is winning.
i don't care about the series i just care about this OST just like fate i don't care about it all what i care about it is tht OST called "he come back again and again" and i know both of those two by attack on titan
Why is nobody doing Blu bird? :< i love the nightmare remix (Blu Bird - hansel und gretel) but nobody's done any covers on them! T^T listening to that while shredding through overcharged bossed feels amazing!
I think he would do an awesome job of "The dark colossus destroys all."

This song sounds like "Sunrise, Sunset" with the first 2 chords of the chorus
@@Serotonergic It’s a cover. The original has the same structure. If you don’t like fiddler on the roof, then you need to do your own soul searching. It may be one of the most iconic plays EVER.
****SPOILERS****
@@Serotonergic how am I supposed to know that ruined it for you. Don’t impose you emotions on me just because I found a similarity with 2 chords. Maybe lighten up yourself. :)
Great job; I love how you covered the desperation of the theme!
Any chance of you doing a cover of Kainé's theme?
drakengard 3 - two's song - part 2, someday please? :D
It is soooo awesome. The Buildup and transition to the harder part. The tension is rising into an awesome part we enjoy to the fullest! Thanks!
So glad you made this
Poggers saludos desde chile latinoamerica se te quiere mucho aqui
HOLY CRAP! AWESOME! I really liked the unique beginning, then BAM, into the metal part! This is badass! Not many do it like you do! You put some of your own style into it! Keep up the awesome work!
Slowly intro, make me tear's with heartbreaking. Imagine you in the weakness momment and the reff imagined you have devil power inside
The amazing cover🔥🔥
Remember, no one is winning
Dude you did an impressive job, really. But... it's not the same... you know what I mean...
No one knows what you mean because no one can read minds
Sir, do a 40th anniversary for Donkey kong.
Cool vid by the way. Lol, peace and love buddy!
If you played this song for someone who didn't know this was from a video game, they'd think you'd just played them a cover of a metal song from like 2006, and I'm about all of that xD
MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE GAME BABY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Congratulations on turning older (affectionate)! This cover is also very pleasant
Phase 1 excellent
Phase 2 holy crap.. :(
Yay! More Nier!
The Further Index. Book VI: The Snow Queen
...And I blotted him in the dark of my thoughts, how to spell the notes of a song I cried over?
...Well, no luck with that. One alphabet was enough for my head. I need to keep this one not-dead.
I found The Throne at the end of the world, and now I'll sever your wings. Answer to everything! It's a never-ending mystery with the greatest of company.
Blind as a secret, lost as a cat. Why should any of The Kingdom know of our humor?
Thus, "Jael Roach Iscariot", take your time and find your way back.
Ava put the note in her satchel. Shouldn't he have kept this? She thought as she regarded Yesha sleeping. Who drops all their personal notes and keepsakes?
This game has been one of the few times I used headphones just to enjoy the music and I haven't been disaapointed. Like the acoustic half first then the metal after. Kinda apporpriate of what happens when you find the Shadowlord.
Oh my god thank you dad
“It’s not right that she can’t see him”
Awesome job on this cover! Really loved the acoustic intro too! Very nice touch! I wasn't expecting this so soon, but it's the song I was most looking forward to after seeing you do Grandma! Hoping you do more songs from the game soon!
A freaking fantastic rendition of one of the best game soundtracks out there. Hats off to you.
WOW !!
... just ... WOW !
Big fan of the game and even more of the song. (used to be) musician... how did I not find this video sooner ?
Great job from start to finish. Thank you so much. That's talent.
You're pretty good!
pretty..... good....
Epic
Nier and Caim aren't so different, are they? The only difference is Caim never even bothered pretending he was a hero.
"Perfection"
Hap (belated) birf, metal man! I’ve appreciated you covers a bunch over the years, and I’ll keep doing so as long as you keep making them. Including this one. Cause damn NieR music is great
the acoustic guitar opening is legit an awesome take of the original
Jules very aggressively becoming Caddicarus in the thumbnail
I’ll never turn down a Nier cover!
pog
Reminds me of octopath break and boost songs, especially daughter of the dark god
Epic
This should've been the 15 Nightmares Crying Yonah version lol
I never thought I'd see the day @FamilyJules would cover songs from Nier :o
I'm so glad
Nice
Oh my god YES more NieR music
This popped randomly in recommended ... and i am so glad. I knew you did amazing Grandma cover .. but Shadowlord was unexpected O.o
Yes 🙌
Now we need Song of the Ancients singed by Adriana Figueroa and another girl and then I can die happy
Neir is a absolute master piece, and if you dont like it, thats cause you hate the fact that its all true, that humanity is doomed no matter what
But can you pull off ( shining finger_ Gundam);?
This could be ost for challenge levels which accessed through the book in your hut
some of what you did with this sounds like zanza from xenoblade. awesome. love the nier covers brother
beginning gave me diablo vibes
Nice 👍
I love this song 😍😍😍 NieR 😍 best game and OST in the world 😍😍
OH MY GOD YES, I'VE BEEN HOPING FOR EXACTLY THIS SONG FROM YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH
It felt so nice humming the song along with your cover :D
Now to listen to it again while Kainé goes bonkers against Weiss
Loved this game and Automata. Got platinum on both of them after many, many hours and it was so worth it in the end. The music from the Nier series is just so good.
noice
Fender Jazz 5 string in metal... much respect.
is this the guy from megalovania doorbell??
The Nier songs are juat great and plus you this is PERFECT
Will there be a vocal cover of this song in the future?
I like the start, but when that thing kicks into gear, damn that's good.
I wanna play this on that guitar that he has but idk where to even begin, like how do i even play it and what stings should be adjusted or even what guitar to buy 😭😭
Its just an acustic guitar nothing special
cover drakengard 1 ninth chapter? kukku
I really like this one. :) Thanks.
This is an awesome cover. More Nier music, please!
2:27 "Yonahhh....let's party!! Ouhhh yeahhhhh"
SO MUCH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I became a snek
