Tales of Symphonia - Fatalize (Metal Cover)

Tales of Symphonia is the property of Namco.
Hey guys, back with another cover. This time round I thought I’d cover a tune from a franchise I haven’t done before, and that is the Tales series. Remembering back to when I played this game as a kid with my older brother, I thought it would be cool to cover one of the songs from this game. Fatalize was one that sprang to mind.
As always I try and keep faithful to the original version with my covers so they are easily recognizable, but there were a few subtle alterations I made. The main one was changing the bass line. In the original track, the bass riff goes back and fourth between the octave but me being an amateur bass player I had difficulty playing that efficiently so I simplified it. In my opinion the simplified bass line sounds more metal which is what I was going for with this cover.
Being a metal cover there’s also more emphasis on the distorted guitars unlike the original and the string section is more of an accompaniment. I also dropped out the orchestral hits as I didn’t think they sat in place well with the tune personally.
Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more VGM covers in future.

this is my favorite guitar cover that I've heard of this song so far.

[@taidakun_ig]

My ears have ascended. This is legit one of my favorite metal covers of something amazing, simply because it stays true to the original. No fancy remixes, no overbearing drums, just pure metal.

Do Silvarant World Map metal cover please!!! this is a request!

[@6metal6legend6]

I'll think on it. Usually I don't do requests because I don't upload covers regularly

[@junidelgadocolon-elchicogamer]

@@6metal6legend6 Oh... okay.

[@6metal6legend6]
