how the hell does that elec kit sound so damn good? the one im using sounds like a dead bee in a tin can

[Torzelan]

@casperHeyzeus Sample replacing! ...Manual, unfortunately, since he couldn't record MIDI. The track originally sounded like it did in the Nightmare Creatures cover (which I also equalized some but it is of course difficult to do with a single wave file for the entire kit recording).

[GreatJuja]

How the hell do you play those fast parts? Do you do some sweep picking or do you use finger tapping or something? I've been trying to learn this song recently, and I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. I've been trying to sweep those parts, but I've been doing a pretty sloppy job.

[Torzelan]

@GreatJuja Disappointing but honest answer time: quantizing. My skills in the DAW far exceed my skills with both sweeping and tapping (for whatever that's worth) and even more so a year ago when this was made. :)

If I had to play it "live" I'd practise picking until it sounded clean for sure though; from what I remember tapping doesn't really make sense to do here (but hey, everything's viable/allowed in music IMO, I picked where most(?) people seem to tap in the Decisive Battle cover too).

[GreatJuja]

@Torzelan

Ah, I see. Well, it still sounds good. I don't have the knowledge or skills to quantize live instruments, so on my songs what you hear is pretty much what I played. I did a mix of tapping and picking in my version of the Decisive Battle. I picked ever note on the lower octave, but I also did a higher octave where I did use tapping.

As for Dwelling of Doom. It'd be cool to do someday, but it'll probably be a while before I can play it well enough at its normal speed.

[Torzelan]

@GreatJuja Yeah quantizing live instruments and making it sound real is quite a lot of work; not as much as the years it would take to become the next Petrucci or whatever but still enough to not be something most people would want to sit and do. :)

I mix it up though, currently working on two covers, one almost note-for-note quantized and the other completely live (should record video for that one I guess). Both are fun ways to pass time for me. :)

[Torzelan]

@GreatJuja Good luck though, I definitely look forward to hearing your version!

[braido]

Not surprised if this song was written by Malmsteen

[trooter]

Awesoome dude, i like so much

Greetings!!

[Aremine]

[0zzyfan44]

Cool cover. Coolt att det låter som Far beyond the sun med riktig elgitarr:)!

[maycrykid]

is that all the same guy exept drumming......if yes great all (exept drums) guy ;D and really good drummer love that double bass on this song

[Bcutter]

Extremely well arranged and performed. I can not think of a better way to cover this great song.

[theraque1]

That was sick as balls. One of the only versions that sounds really good all jizzed *ahem* I mean metalled out. Awesome work bro.

[LeDudleyzz]

now THAT'S a good cover !

[steppo2000]

Snyggt jobbat, bra cover! Håller faktiskt själv på med denna när jag hittade din version :) hade vart ballt att göra någon Gemensam grej :) kolla in min kan för lite TV-spels covers :D hare gött

[MetalJody1990]

you've inspired me. O.O

[Angsc09]

This video should get more views because the theme of remix is very rare to find now.

[ulaskat]

cooll (y)

[Talinth]

Herrejävlar :S Grymt! :D

[UnidentifiedRob]

Extremt bra. Gillar att det inte låter "hem-inspelat", som i princip allt annat gör här på YouTube. Du har en tendens att göra episka låter ännu mer episka, och tung-gung verkar vara ditt andra namn. Fortsätt så här! :D

[Torzelan]

@UnidentifiedRob Tack tack, är ju inget "proffs" men lägger relativt mycket jobb och tid jag kan på att få det att "låta bra" så det värmer att höra :)

[reizoryuu]

Great as always man ;]

[conquestor]

haha, the first thing I thought was "WOW the drums are better then usual!". Then I read it was a collab.

Great job with the guitar though.

[Torzelan]

@conquestor Yeah he's awesome on drums, highlight of the track for sure!

[maggot289]

fucking amazing as always torz.

[combuf]

@maggot289

You got that right.

[alwaysasleep]

Oh wow.

[JohnGotti0831]

damn that was great. You never let me down Torz.

[ProtoSkar]

fucken sweet!
