Even after beating the wacky waving inflatable tube apostle in the windmill village first try, that fat bastard on the Caelid tower bridge still absolutely wrecked me.
metal is supposed to be symphonic in nature. Both genres employ what I like to call "a wall of sound." I'd recommend "Forget Not- Ne obliviscaris" to get an idea what I'm referring to.
@@KotalaGod just tryna keep the discussion going, but is symphonic metal related to prog metal or is it considered entirely its own thing? I'm just someone who listens to all kinds of stuff, so nitty gritty music knowledge isn't something I have.
I find it unfortunate for myself that whenever I engage boss fights I can only focus on mechanics and damage and looking for attack patterns, I can't seem to focus on the beauty of the music or arena. Thank you for helping me appreciate an art form that completes the experience, lost on a sweaty gamer.
Try the Apostle in the Windmill village, he's a lot weaker than the divine tower one or the duo, and the setting makes the music and the fight 200x better. Still not a pushover however...he will just give a lot less trouble than the others, and it gave me a great chance to learn his attacks
When Apostle creates tornado, you have plenty of time to do so. IDK if is it scrypted, but on my playthrough the melody-bass part always accompanied that flashy move, so fucking epic and gorgeous
This, honestly, is part of the reason I don't feel bad about playing the game with the Easy Mode mod. I LOVE scenery porn and great music, and playing the game on "easy" allowed me to experience all of that during each of the boss fights without getting destroyed by lack of concentration (which is an issue at the best of times with my cognitive issues).
@@requiem762 well your situation is excusable since you have cognitive issues, but really the game doesn't need easy mode. If a boss is harder than usual compared to the rest of the area, it's not meant to be tackled early - as simple as that. There are many methods to even "cheese" bosses, using arrows and what not etc, you just need to use the tools given to you efficiently. All I would say it's absolutely possible to pay attention to music while fighting bosses at the same time, unless the bosses have bombastic attacks that just eclipses out the music - in that case you can't listen to the music properly anyways even with easy mode.
Ya know... You could spend the next while covering only elden ring tracks and Id be pretty content with that, the OST is so damn good, and the covers only make it better
They're week to sleep, for anyone having trouble in the duo fight. Sleep arrows, Sword of St. Trina, Dolores (a spirit summon) all trivialize that fight!
Someone translated a few of Elden rings boss songs from Latin and the godskin theme’s lyrics is full batshit insane. ALSO fuckin amazing cover dude, gorgeous
@@skythewolf35 really ? I thougt it was confirmed by the composers that these songs have no lyrics… i only think of Song of Lament for a song with actual latin lyrics. I’ll check that out ig
I remember encountering this boss at the Windmills. I was severly under leveled, but determined to beat him soley for his twin blade. The music was a lovely bonus.
自分がへっぽこ褪せ人なせいで、このメタルカバーを聞くまで 2:00から先の世界を全然知りませんでした(多分1回しか2分以上生きれてないから) こんな神フレーズだったんや…!! そしてアレンジ最高すぎて、今更ですがこの曲を大好きになりました。 (グーグル翻訳使いながら英訳試みたけど、おかしかったら申し訳ないです…!) Because I'm a weak Tarnished, I didn't know the wonderful world from 2:00 until I heard this awesome metal cover😇 I had no idea this song would be this excellent!! And thanks to your strong arrangement, I love this song even more (I'm not very good at English, so I'm sorry if the sentences are strange)
Dude, this song is a banger both in the game and here. Fighting the Godskin Noble for the first time in Volcano Manor was made so epic because of the music, and even if I didn't really like the Duo fight, I gotta admit the second phase music is really good
When the godskin starts rolling this plays 🔥 absolutely amazing as always, starscourge radahn and mohg lord of blood would be phenomenal too I think ♥️
It's so much fire, that Black Flames ragained full strength. Jokes aside, dude. This is amazing. I just found your channel and as someone who plays on instruments for years it's God tier. You don't just take main part and blast it on a guitar with flood of percussion to make it "symphonic", or "epic". It have pacing, tempo and harmony above everything else. It blasts when it needs to, and rests when it's time for that. With respect to original. Black Flame/10 Elden ring. Just... Amazing 🖤
This is extremely fitting since the name “Godskin Apostles” is metal enough alone.
Sounds like a band name
Foreskin Apostles
@@GrimKnight12 " malardia, blade of miquella, she who has never known exercise."
Margitt the Fell would be a kickass band name. Same with Morgott the Omen King
From Software games in general are extremely metal. Just look at stuff like Radahn, Rykard, everything in Bloodborne...
I couldn't think of a good enough sarcastic comment. This is just really, really excellent.
thankee my man
Very *excellent*
"foreskin apostles"
@@spakentruth bruh ------
@@Just_a_happy_lil_guy Is he wrong? Depending what build you role with, bosses like the apostles will stop you.
Oh HELL YES. I’ve got this theme burned into my mind from throwing my head against the wall that was the Divine Tower of Caelid fight
That fight made me wary of every other encounter, but goddamn was the music a bop when I survived long enough.
Same. Did him level 50 and summonless, needless to say he was a pain in the ass lol
It gets worse.
same but with the Duo (more accurately the Quartet) fight in Farum Azula
Even after beating the wacky waving inflatable tube apostle in the windmill village first try, that fat bastard on the Caelid tower bridge still absolutely wrecked me.
If he puts a vertical light bar behind the ring one, he'll have his own Great Rune
Brb using this idea thx
@@notrachelable just watched the radahn cover and i can't believe you actually did it
Richaad's Great Rune
"Makes the world's sounds more metallic to the user."
Opera and Heavy Metal seem to share a similar level of passion witch complements each other flawlessly. Thank you for the amazing work
Probably why I enjoyed performing in operas so much even though I primarily listen to metal
Yngwie Johan Malmsteen walks in...
metal is supposed to be symphonic in nature. Both genres employ what I like to call "a wall of sound." I'd recommend "Forget Not- Ne obliviscaris" to get an idea what I'm referring to.
Symphonic metal is a popular sub genre. Id highly recommend artists like Falkkone if you havent already heard
@@KotalaGod just tryna keep the discussion going, but is symphonic metal related to prog metal or is it considered entirely its own thing? I'm just someone who listens to all kinds of stuff, so nitty gritty music knowledge isn't something I have.
Imagine Mohg's theme with some metal vocals counting down until the inevitable NIHIL, NIHIL, NIHIL!!!
oh god yes, dont tease me light that
Imma need a change of pants after that one
Mohg does look like he belongs on a heavy metal cover
Oh I NEED this!!
@@Nellymcsmelly1089 UA-cam doesn't allow me to share external links but there's one on reddit with Mohg on a metal cover album. Truly awesome!
Well... that second phase was quite something.
Hit harder than Radahn from orbit.
There is a rumor floating around that this was actually his theme (I'm joking but imagine the drop hitting at the same time as Radahn's orbit)
"hit harder than Radahn from orbit" now that's a good one
Was looking forward to how your arrangement would turn out for this one. Sounds so good dude! It's definitely a fun OST to cover in this style
heck yeah glad you dig it dude!
Now this really Elden's my Ring
As the saying goes, every Ring has its Elden
Truly something Elden John would say
Soulsborne Rich is my favorite genre
4:04 The ending hits so hard!
sameee
The apostles must be sizing up how your skin would look as a coat. Because this is godlike
criminally underrated comment here.
The name "Godskin Apostles" already sounds like a metal band
wow this is amazing almost makes getting my ass handed to me by the Godskin duo worth it
Almost.
Were they really that difficult? I personally felt by the time I reached that encounter. I just shredded through them like I was Doomguy.
@@BladesofElysian to be fair I was using a pure strength build with level 8 somber weapons so I probably was just a bit under level
@@BladesofElysian yeah i agree i beat them on like my second attempt
@@BladesofElysian yes, yes they are that difficult.

For me music helped... if you dodge main attack to the rythm of main part of the theme you'll do pretty good.

I pick up the sword as soon as I start a game now. Dragon warrior strats baby!
Man and here I was bullying them with cursed blood pots and a +10 Lhutel to keep them separated lol
And don't forget the St. Trina Torch for Torch only challenge meme.
Does that means if humans wake up, they'll kill gods? Interesting.
GIT GUD, GUYS
Someone translated a few of Elden rings boss songs from Latin and the godskin theme’s lyrics is full batshit insane. ALSO fuckin amazing cover dude, gorgeous
May I see the source of said translated lyrics?
Half the lyrics are just "I want your skin"
Actually, the souls lyrics are not traductible, they sound latin but they are not. So there is no accurate traduction.
@@dadalikalama
That's where you're wrong, alot of the lyrics to the songs in Elden Ring are latin
@@skythewolf35 really ? I thougt it was confirmed by the composers that these songs have no lyrics… i only think of Song of Lament for a song with actual latin lyrics. I’ll check that out ig
One of the best tracks from game is covered. Damn godlike!!!!
I'd love to see this cover with the chanting from the OST added to it
i was just thinking that. that would be too epic for our ears maybe
Go and look for CthulhuSeeker's version, it's synthwave and it's AMAZING
@@tizianofratini7407 I love their remix of Mohg's theme the most
It even has the countdown to Nihil which is awesome
Careful now, you're godly at this... Some skinners might come for ye!
Well done dood!
1:18 easily the best part in both versions. Never does it not hit
Elden ring not winning best music is a insult
Can't wait for the godskin trio and then the godskin quartet!
I want to ride into battle with my strongest potions while listening to this.
FUCK YES best boss theme in the game in metal form!! I had been looking for this!
You turned my favorite theme into a Metal cover. Rock on man you should do more of these!
This is what I heard when I rocked up on ng+ to absolutely disrespect mr skinny at the windmill
I'm literally working on this one. I gotta join the party. This track is just so epic and you made it even more so!
I remember encountering this boss at the Windmills. I was severly under leveled, but determined to beat him soley for his twin blade. The music was a lovely bonus.
This is rapidly becoming my favorite cover of any of the OST.
People are playing this theme on every instrument! Have you listened to it on church organ yet? A guy recorded it.
amazing cover. easily one of my favorite tracks. lichdragon fortissax is another one of my favorites i'd love to hear your rendition of it
probably one of the best boss music in the entire game. This is sick asf bro!
Nothing witty to say here. A masterpiece of a cover of a masterpiece of a soundtrack done for a masterpiece of a game. Well Done!
BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF THE GODS, DESTROY THE GOLDEN LINEAGE! ALL HAIL THE DUSK EYED QUEEN!!!
And now it’s sound like it’s straight from risk of rain 2.
Praise the Elden Ring!
So to speak, lovable sort ahead
自分がへっぽこ褪せ人なせいで、このメタルカバーを聞くまで
2:00から先の世界を全然知りませんでした(多分1回しか2分以上生きれてないから)
こんな神フレーズだったんや…!!
そしてアレンジ最高すぎて、今更ですがこの曲を大好きになりました。
(グーグル翻訳使いながら英訳試みたけど、おかしかったら申し訳ないです…!)
Because I'm a weak Tarnished, I didn't know the wonderful world from 2:00 until I heard this awesome metal cover😇
I had no idea this song would be this excellent!!
And thanks to your strong arrangement, I love this song even more
(I'm not very good at English, so I'm sorry if the sentences are strange)
Your feelings made it across, and that's what matters
this song haunts my dreams (good cover tho love you rich)
Oh my god yes, glad I'm not the only one who noticed how absolutely phenomenal this song was
let's goooooooooo
also how it feels to solo the godskin duo no summons ez
Needed a cover of this awesome dark but light music. This slaps!
When the fat albino snakeman suddenly does a Jigglypuff-move from Smash Bro's and steamrolls your character to death-
He fucking DID IT wat a chad thx rich
In my soul it burns with a bright flame. Divine
FUCK YEAH!
I really loved the part from 0:01 to 4:20
Man Richard's trem usage is just *chef's kiss*
Alright this was absolutely amazing. We need Lichdragon Fortissax and Dragonlord Placidusax
SIck cover, this was my favorite song in the game, hearing it for the first time on a random windmill hill was funny
I can imagine the Godskin Duo playing this while trashing the player when they're bored.
I can definitely feel a certain rolly boi rolling on me while his chucker boi chucking black flame at me.
You need to get Will Ramos to write some vocals over this for the love of Destined Death
“Destined Death” would make a great name for an Elden Ring metal cover band.
Destined Deathcore!!
Havent played elden ring but this songs bussin
Or is a bop
I don't know what to stay , this is fantastic
Dude, this song is a banger both in the game and here. Fighting the Godskin Noble for the first time in Volcano Manor was made so epic because of the music, and even if I didn't really like the Duo fight, I gotta admit the second phase music is really good
OUTSTANDING!!!!
This arrange is hotter than the fireballs that they'll pound you with for daring to use a flask in the open.
Dunno why but feel like this coulda definitely fit into the castlevania anime. Especially in the final fight
That fight was really like a video game. Could work well!
This song has such a goddamn good chorus. Yes, I will call it a chorus.
This is still one of Rich's best covers from the past year.
Quiet part hit and I was looking around like where is the black flame fireball???
Man’s rocking the Cloak shirt. Hell yeah.
This is my favorite track in the game. Incredibly powerful.
Good for the Duo.
Perfect timing, this is about to greatly improve my train ride! What an amazing theme and cover!
"Tonight live! Bear witness to .. THE GODSKIN APOSTLES!!" Is how i imagine this as a band lmao
a metal theme for already pretty metal bosses
also love the design of the blue guitar, cheers.
Amazing track, but also I can't stop staring at the Cloak Elden Ring shirt 👌👌👌
man you are something else
Oh yeah, it's all coming together
Brought tears to my eyes. Epic.
Great theme, great cover.
This is so damned good. A bit of it harkens back to your cover of the Abyss Watchers track.
Truly, a face-melting (or should I say peeling) cover.
This is fantastic! This mix sounds huge!
That was actually quite beautiful....
If this song would play during the fight I probably wouldn’t even pay attention to what I’m doing and headband the entire time🤣
One of the best OSTs in ER, nuff said
I see you're wearing the Cloak x Elden Ring shirt!!! Absolutely perfect for this, and you absolutely rocked this song! 🧡💛🧡
I think I speak for everyone when I say we need to hear Mohg, Lord of Blood next
Can’t wait for the sequel: Foreskin Apostles: Duo of the Nether-regions
This is one of the most rocking Elden Ring metal version ever RichaadEB man i can see why you're the most talented guitar player ever
When the godskin starts rolling this plays 🔥 absolutely amazing as always, starscourge radahn and mohg lord of blood would be phenomenal too I think ♥️
Man, I just found and killed this yesterday thinking how sick the music was and now this shows up. Good vibes
I love this cover of yours, plus, I really like your accuracy on the music notes.
been waiting for someone to do a metal cover of this. It's just about perfect. Keeping in the epic choir stuff would have completed it for me
Damn I love the blast beats. Perfect fit.
You ever hear a song so perfectly fit for you that you shed a single tear of pure bliss?
This goes harder than it ever needed to and it's just flawless!
This is by FAR one of my favourite Elden Ring themes and you covered it phenomenally. 20/10
if this does not play during the dusk-eyed queen boss battle ima be pissed
Stretch Armstrong and The Blob. Name a more iconic duo.
this is the best one from elden ring
Love you very much!!!!
And just think.
This was this composer's first forray into OSTs.
Very tasteful use of the whammy flutters. I love this! Would love to hear you cover some of the more somber tracks too
The song isn't constantly interrupted by game over screens. 10/10 cover !!
kept bobbing my head uncontrollably :3
I'm so glad this exists
It's so much fire, that Black Flames ragained full strength.
