- My cover of "Gwyn, Lord of Cinder" from Dark Souls.
So I had been playing Dark Souls non-stop for weeks, and I finally had all the lord souls to open the path to the final boss. My body shaking with excitement as I enter the wasteland with the goal off in the distance. Fighting through the black knights I reach the fog wall, and I enter it. No cutscene, no cheesy dramatic dialogue, just the somber piano music and Gwyn charing towards you. I can't describe how refreshing this was.
Man, how Dark Souls drew me in once I got the hang of all it's mechanics and style. Not to mention the atmosphere of the games. I am absolutely in love, and it has become one of my favorite game franchise of all time.

I CAN'T PARRY THIS KIND OF METAL

The original song is meant to convey how the flame has turned to ash, what was once so great and bright has turned dim and hollow.
I love this version, I can imagine it playing as a second phase of the fight begins. Lord Gyn gives it his all just one more time.
Boy.. you're strong.. I WON'T HOLD ON.
He wouldn't even say a word.
Actually if it was him being sane he would let you link the fire.
Even saying compliments
"Lets see what you're made of, chosen undead..."
@@fanhasbanbas369 you think he would...fight you?like isshin?
I like to daydream a lot, when I listen to this one I always imagine vast heavenly battles. Storms of creation and destruction as angels and demons battle for a fate that goes beyond anything we could imagine. In other words, this song is fucking epic
I day dream at school lol about the same stuff , epic battles with epic music playing in my ear
The origin story to this song is pretty close cept gwyn fights immortal dragons instead.
Gwyn was listening to this in his headphones while soloing the everlasting dragons
I can imagine you beating Gwyn, but the sun slowly rises and showers the kiln with sunlight as he mutters: "My...sun. I need to fight for...my...sun.". He gains back his powers for one last fight and you get to fight the true lord of sunlight with this music playing.
tldr:this would be a good theme for gwyns seacond phase
if only... modders, get you asses over here and make it happen!
@Namiko Sai when the commenter failed to realize that was already done lol
It would be a 2 second fight where you get 100 sunlight bolts right up your ass in the span of 0.5 seconds
@@stanxd0 some sweat lord *beats it unarmed with a guitar hero controller
@@Unknown-mj4wo by then, there wouldn't be any gud to git anymore
This is how the fight feels like when you're not parrying
I woke up with the OST running in my head this morning; I haven't played DS in years. I started to wonder how great it would sound in metal. Hell yeah was I right, thank you for doing this! \[T]\m/
You are welcome! The dark souls OST is just insanely good. Gwyn's theme is probably the most memorable for me :)
This is when Gywn when he is like Gael or Ludwig when he finally becomes himself and fights like a God
Simply epic! The Gwyn theme will always have a special place in our hearts.
This is such a heavy cover that Gwyn could parry it
I was skeptical that even you could make this metal. It just didn't seem to make sense in my head, since the original is just so different. But this is BOSS. Holy shit! Great work!
Was a little unsure myself in the beginning due to the technical nature of the original, but everything came nicely together I think :) this is one of my favorite covers actually
After this cover I got so adicted to this song that I couldn't stop listening and thinking about it. So, to satisfie my desire I wrote some simple lyrics. (I'm a crazy person, I know).
Lyrics below
Note: English isn't my native language and I'm still learning, so forgive me for the poor vocabulary and repetitive words.
Note 2: Each word usually follows each guitar chord (few exceptions though).
Note 3: I haven't played Dark Souls, only the third one, so forgive me if any of the lore stuff is wrong or weird. (Feedback would be great)
Starts at 0:10
Gwyn, my Lord
Gwyn Lord of Cinder (2x) (Refrain)
My Lord
Warrior and god
Under sunlight
Thou shalt fight
For
The end
Of an old age
And decide world's fate
Gwyn, my Lord
Gwyn Lord of Cinder (2x)
My Lord
The world shall not
Be the same
With the flame
Link
The fire
The first desire
Of a new
Age coming true
Gwyn, my Lord
Gwyn Lord of Cinder (2x)
Through the fog wall
I have faced them all
That's why tonight
I defy thy might
Kick me and I shall stand
Thrust me and I defend
Slash me I shall row
Till grab me and throw
Though death is not the end
From ashes I descend
From the sword's blaze
From the fire I raise
Try to low my health
And I become thy hell
An Estus and that's all
Tonight thou shalt fall
Ends at about 2:35 (for now)
Again, I'm a crazy person, I know :)
Man this is not really bad. Sure, it's over-semplistic, but in the modern day of music, your lirycs holds weight as many other actual songs. I would like to hear Skar playing the song while singing to this. Good job ^^
The lyrics here feel like they should be sung by a viking metal vocalist
It is good that such people like U still exist.
WOW it's so epic
It fits really well tho
When I first played this game I wasn't sure what to expect, my friend told me not to look up any information on this game, he said to go in blindly until I completed it; and I did just that. This game punished me in a way that no other game has, but it also opened up a different side of my love of gaming and the undeniable art form that it is. A game so dark that can also be so beautiful is a powerful juxtaposition that you do not see every day, and this cover you have done captures that perfectly! Killer Job, and now I must go back to the land of Dark Souls "Praise The Sun!"
Then u gotta try Hollow knight, Hyperlight drifter, or Celeste. Unless you’ve got a thing for realism.
😀
I'm in my emo mood rn
But soon after hearing this, my soul is restored hahah
Thank you for the good work
EMBER RESTORED
*HUMANITY RESTORED*
i have no idea what i am supposed to feel :/
the original music was sad this is just epic
like this was the original version representing the prime of gwyn.
With seemingly unending power raging within the depths of his youthfull heart like a torrent of flames.
ready to take on any challenge fate throws his way, to preserve his Kingdom and the golden age of fire.
kicking ass and taking names and daring to crush all who threaten the peace of the nation he founded.
where the ingame version represents the aged and withered husk of the man he once was.
sadly and melancholic crying his last hurrah bound by his duty to protect the fading flame from those who wish to hush it out.
searching for a worthy successor who may prolong the age of fire from the unavoidable end.
even if it may just be one more cycle.
this is so good on so many different levels.
I think it is sad, I think it still represents the pain and suffering and the one still hopelessly holding out and fighting through it all
Great description
I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've just finished dark souls 1 some weeks ago and I tried not to cry at the ending, I've got real goosebumps and chills while listening this, amazing!!!!!!!!!!
I see Dark Souls I press like!
Well it’s the best game series ever made so why wouldn’t you? ;)
SKAR, LORD OF METAL
The are two thing that brighten my life : talking to my best friend, and when skar upload something, keep up the awesomeness.

@@SkarProductions sister, but nevermind. Great work!
Ah my apologies! :)
@@SkarProductions ;)
You are a hidden diamond. I can not comprehend how you only have 33k subscribers. What a nice cover, with a dark and sad atmosphere like the battle with the Lord of Cinder. You are the best!
Yeah this just got favorited and added to my workout playlist! 👊🤘 Now I'm gonna soulsborne my workout!
With this theme Gwyn parries you!
The more I listened to the original of this, the more I thought it would sound better as a metal cover. And wow this was great!
Goosebumps instantly ... just ty bro
I really enjoyed this one. Definitely going to be one of my favorites that you've done. Awesome work!
Top quality as always. Keep doing what you're doing :)
I will! :D
due talent for ages and for gaming you are the best #1 recommended for all gamers. pure awesome!
I recently came back to listen to gwyn's theme and the nameless song because I remembered how beautiful it was and the first experience I had when I first played Dark Souls. And now I see the mighty Scar covering this magnificent theme. The fire has been linked \m/
You dragged me back to my first encounter with Gwyn now I'm going to play it again and defeat Gwyn while this cover is playing
A new masterpiece has arrived
Cheers!
Great as aleways keep it up!
This Metal is so heavy your stamina is depleted when you try to block this, shieldbreaking you!
Şimdiye kadar dinlediğim en iyi metal kapak. Ateş seninle gurur duyuyor Skar!
Omg, this is divinely. I'm not tired of saying that your covers are the best!!!
How about a cover on "Ezio's Family" from Assassin's Creed II or on "Ladis of the woods" from The Witcher 3?)
(I apologize for mistakes, I write with an interpreter)
You are the best :3
Ladies of the Woods is so haunting. I would love to see a metal version of it.
Man, your channel is so cool! i love your covers! Keep up the great job!
Btw, this cover of Gywn's theme is fantastic!
I love this so much
Skar in flames yeah ! 😈
When I first heard the original soundtrack in game I died multiple times just to listen to it over and over again I was without a doubt addicted to this song.....and this cover just brought tears to my eyes (I know I know what a pussy) but I believe you captured the essence of this fight in your music and it resonated so hard that it brought small tears of joy. Thank you for making this.
This theme resonates with every fiber of my being. I live by the philosophy that we exist to struggle, to climb an unclimbable mountain.
You deserve so many more views and subscribers. Your content is AMAZING beyond words. Huge fan Skar! My favorite songs you have done are the Witcher 3 ones. And World of Warcraft ones.
That shirt is one of my favourite games on 360
Sounds amazing! I love it!
The bests metal covers as always Skar, thank you for that fucking song
Have been listening to this cover for hours, even had to enable "repeat" option on the video.
freaking amazing
THIS IS F**KING AMAZING!!!! Replay button- destroyed! (Still waiting for TESO cover)
You know what makes me sad? Gwyn's bossfight is soo ez, that you dont even got time to listen and appreciate the music.
Then don't parry
This is fucking amazing
Again, pure awesomeness as usual! Heads on mate ;)
This really hits hard 🔥🔥🔥
Yuuuup, another awesome vid :D
Very well done from music to video
NOW, MY LIFE IS COMPLETE \m/
OMFG!!!! It's perfect!!!
Nice, you took a song and made even more epic !!!
Lord of Cinder metal cover + Lord of Terror T-shirt nice choice mate :D
this was so f ing epic. keep on making bro \m/
Holy mother of *beeep!! Martin, you're AWESOME!
So damn awesome , now only left is souls of cinder from DK3 that will be perfect ;)
Awesome Skar! Hope we can hear your singing soon too :)
Isso é foda! Parabéns mano!
At 1:48 the sun shines upon Skar
Wow! i love it!
i don't say it enough ! you are a freaking god!!!!
i've never played ds1 but this is hype af
play it
Ah I love these, thinking about doing any more from the Souls franchise? Or maybe even the cleric beast song from Bloodborne?!
So many cool from the souls games. Just got started on Bloodborne :)
Skar Productions ah that's awesome to hear! It's one of my favourite game series so Im deffo looking forward to more! The Wolven Storm is possibly my favourite I must say 👌
Gwyn's theme but every time there's a plin plin plon it gets more METAL.
Epic, man! Keep on going and rock on! \m/
Awesome as always my friend 🤘🤘🤘
Wow....
Again, an epic cover, you take a song, no matter how it normally sounds, no matter how epic it already is, and add your own touch to it, making it always an immense pleasure to listen. Great work!
Just a question: Do you take suggestions for songs? As probably half of your fanbase, i got a few songs i would love to have your version of. :D
Epic as hell Skar! gwyn dark souls \m/
By Odin's beard this shit rocks
Que pasada de canción de los 3 dark souls esta es mi favorita y está cover hace que se me pongan los pelos de punta es genial gracias por hacer realidad estas obras de arte
At first I thought you've made lyrics for it too.
Regardless, this is awesome enough. Good job.
Liked and shared.
Dude, this was spot on! Great work as usual!
Something I'd love to see and I think a lot of FF6 fans would is the song:
Aria Di Mezzo Carattere - Final Fantasy 6.
If you've never heard of it look it up. This song is one of the shining examples of video games as art from back in 1994, and holds a special place in a lot of gamers hearts. (I'm 35 so obviously a lot of older gamers hearts especially)
Anyway, it's begging for a symphonic power metal adaptation, and based off of what I've seen you do with Witcher and this video here, your creative vision could pull it off.
No pressure, lol.
Hopefully you'll see this comment.
I really dig your stuff man! Rock on!
Good lord this was amazing! I recommed you do Fear not this night from Guild Wars 2!
this goes harder than malenia blade of miqulla boss fight
*plin plin plons aggressively*
My god this is good.
Skar has uploaded :D!
I'm not a fan of metal (I'm a violinist xD so that explains it) but goddamn this sounds so f-ing amazing!
There are a lot of violins in folk metal, I would recommmend you giving bands such as Eluveitie a listen :)
Tell that to Ne Obliviscaris. Easily one of the greatest bands out there and they have one of the best violinists I've heard. Check out their songs 'Eyrie' and 'Forget Not' if you are interested.
Violins go famously well with metal. Whole symphonic orchestras, too. :)
Being a violinist doesnt stop you from liking metal. Metal came before I stsrted playing the violin
Give Nightwish a listen
excelente performance. amazing
EPIC!
PLIN PLIN PLOOOON DUNDUNDDUN
wow!!!
great!!!!
Master piece!
/,,/
imagine if Gwyn had a second phase and this played during it
If Gwyn hadn't blown herself up:
I wish this was gwyns theme in game I love metal
Wow!!! it's.. epic!! :o
wow this slaps
Does anybody know/remember that Dark Souls 3 had a time mechanic in somewhere in development? What if for Dark Souls 4 you get that mechanic and somehow the final boss is Gwyn but not Lord of Cinder variant. Instead, Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight! A god in his prime fighting you to this theme!
the dlc had you traveling back in time and completing Artorias's mission, the one he is a legend for, because he was taken by the abyss. And that's one example of time travel.
Você é incrível!
pretty good like 😱
Imagine this is what Gwyn heard while fighting you
You died.
Oh wait i'm still alive. That's was a backstab cover dude , nice as always
If Gwyn had a second form, this is the ost.
Holy fuck that was awesome Martin \m/
Not only is the song very well done, I also love the editing. Would be incredible if you could do the same for other videos.
