Dark Souls 3 - Abyss Watchers Dual Mix (RichaadEB metal cover)

  • Original track - Yuka Kitamura
    Metal cover - RichaadEB ( • Dark Souls 3: Abyss Wa... )
    Artwork - LiewJJ (liewjj.devianta...)
    I never liked typical Souls OST in the first place - while it sure did create a scary and epic atmosphere to complement a (for the most part) scary and epic boss fight, i barely can listen to them on their own. And, despite being a metal fan, I don't think existing metal covers fit the game either. Aaand then i just stumbled across Hellkite Drake's Soul of Cinder dual mix ( • Video ), which reminded me - if neither style satisfies you - just combine them!
    It turned out really well, for 5 minutes it took me to mix the two. Obviously RichaadEB already did most of the work to time his cover to the original, but I still didn't expect it so sound this good. Typically, dual mixes do not sound great, as various instruments playing the same melodies tend to overlap with each other. I guess the original theme's reliance on choirs helped here.

    This is honestly the best way to listen to this song, the rock contributes visceral energy while the symphony and choir add grace and a healthy dose of tragedy.

      ...Dunno about that. They are Undead after all, they don't care about getting hurt and dying... So they're probably gonna be the only ones left by the end of the show. Pointy hats don't help.
      Besides, they are probably edgy as fuck, so i'm going nowhere near whatever post-hardcore band they are into (no offense).

    They just so cool. I pity them because the music makes this fight sad.

    The Latin chanting roughly translates to:

    Victim of the flame, victim of the fallacy, I'm suffering, suffering from the flame's fallacy and the wolf's oath. per the fallacy.
    I'm thirsty, suffering form this fallacy, from wolf's oath.
    To block from the truth of the flame, the fallacy tells.

    I know it is, and always has been impossible, but I've always wanted to see a boss so insane that it'd be like the burnt ivory king fight in that you are given npc allies, except 100 times hard and the npc allies are other bosses.
    I tried to write a script for an ashen one boss that involved this, knowing it would never happen, but I always thought it'd be cool, and this would start playing when the entire legion joins you, every bosses theme overlapping into 1 big clusterfuck

    i am disagree with your description of this video. Dark soul music is dark and scary for atmosphere but bosses are different. Bosses music are not just dark and scary but it also create and convey emotion, special emotion which is felt from these bosses as a character which give a unique feel to everyone. Abyss watcher is one of the best example. His theme is melancholy and slow paced with very quiet and tragic atmosphere. it didn't feel like dark and scary at all. It even feel like tragedy of a heroic figure and how they have to destroy their own ambitions and love toward everyone and drowned into their own darkness to save everyone by killing everyone by their own pleasure to kill others to find last bit of happiness. It feel like how a hero slowly transform into their own heroic version of monsters.

      Cover is done by RichaadEB, not me - I just mixed them together. If you want heavier tracks, I suggest checking out his original cover since it lacks the game track, as well as Ekstal (I think that was his name), who is also veering more into extreme metal territory. Although honestly, did you expect Behemoth or Marduk to cover Dark Souls? Come on, tame your expectations a bit. Check out Utamaru's covers, he was the first to cover Dark Souls music in a metal style. Not to shit on the guy, but I think the quality of metal VGM covers improved a LOT since then, it's not just the same djent/metalcore shit over and over again.

      Honestly I've heard some metal covers of VGM that absolute garbage because it's TOO much metal and all traces of the original song get lost in it. It has to resemble the original and it's even better if you're able to incorporate the original into your cover through out the entirety of the cover.
