Sonic Altar - 2 Minutes to Midnight (Iron Maiden cover) HD

[GuitarandVocalcoers]

Good! It sounds perfect like maiden

[KotoSergio]

Yeaaah!! good joob , production sound.... But it has Autotune!

[mastermiky5]

hahaha nice autotune

[tjankauskas1]

very good,so dynamic

[Lebon90]

I'm no expert but have been an Iron Maiden fan for many years. Here's "my opinion" on this cover. The vocals were great, the guitar players were good but the drums needed a little more and so did the bass. Overall, great job!!!!!

[dante59790]

mean ass dickinson cover,like others louder bass.fuken ausom tho

[conor1423]

1) that is a NICE guitar and amp setup.

2) As others have said, CRANK THE BASS

3) The singer made me drop a load in my pants!

[kave213vids]

man, singer is dope

[dephekt22]

baddass singer<3

[axer01]

Excellent job! I liked the different approach of the singer.

[chaoss610]

Holy shit. Singer suprised the fuck out out of me! Amazing Dickinson cover bro. Keep it up.

[1234domisch1234]

ITS SO FUCKING GREAT BUDDIES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING GREAT YAAA !!

[Knapper32927]

Singer surprised me - lots of balls covering Maiden..I've been a fan since I was a kid - you guys did a good job. yea, but turn up the Bass

[FrozenSparky]

i cant hear the bass.. which is pretty important for this song!! -.-

[RJDtewb]

Really nice cover dudes!

But really...way too much pitch correction on the vocals 2:13 "go to war"

[Cezaradrian27]

so fucking sweet:>

great cover...

[TugaWoWPrivateServer]

By fucking FAR, like 1000000000 miles away from all covers, definatelly THE BEST ONE ON FUCKING YOUTUBE!! (Well, you had a pretty good recorder/good audio but only for that we can see the quality of the band! ;) BTW the singer is EPIC

[repedeGP]

Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, and Lordi. You just named my three favourite bands. Are there videos of the other two, by chance?

Sounds excellent, by way way. Really well done!

[Fabianationx123]

awesome but.. the bassline :/

[TheMegaguitarer]

great voice man!!!

[KainosMan]

[axl34rose]

[albcev1511]

amaaazing!!!

[itscarl0zyall1]

Impresive!

[luscaslayer]

*drop

[luscaslayer]

The singers voice is incredible - if he would the slightly whiny intonation in places, he'd be perfect.

[123superbad123]

dude, you guys are good! got a facebook? I'll help promote & such, you guys deserve more than you get im sure

[master6of6omens6]

Pretty good cover... but turn up the bass a bit.

[Perclos]

perfect tune in guitaar

[Perclos]

man the bassplayer doesn't play the original licks in anytime

[DeeJayHey]

these guyz killed the unborn in the womb :)

[deathmetal925]

Fucking Epic!

[High99222]

put more tags you have the potencial to have MANY more views

[indoobidably2]

Singer has an excellent voice and is able to hit the notes.Guitarist isnt playin the song properly and the solos are wrong.Bassist isnt exactly Steve Harris is he lol he's not even playin any of the fills which are very important since Steve is a HUGE part of Iron Maiden!

[alooro703]

yo soy mejor

[Ironlord2015]

That was absolutely ridiculously awesome, & it made me grin like a fool all the way through. Just discovered you guys tonight via Facepuke, & what a crackin' find. I love your own tracks what i've heard so far, but this is an AMAZING cover. Maiden are my first passion in metal, so this made me pay attention lol. It's just great to see talented guys in a room loving what they do, which definitely comes across in your video here, & i thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done guys, fantastic stuff :-D \m/

[SonicAltar]

@Ironlord2015 Cheers man! Really glad you like our stuff. Maiden really are gods! We really dig the old school metal stuff between them, Ozzy, Sabbath, Dio, Priest etc. Thanks for reaching out and the kind words! Our album is gonna be on iTunes soon if you want to hear more :) Cheers!

[DAVIDDADEMONROCKER]

This one hell of a cover. I agree.. You're voice is amazing man! Keep it up!

[escapeartist9003]

Damn! awesome band mates , KEEP ROCKIN!

[McRitchtopher]

Great work!

[SonicAltar]

@McRitchtopher Cheers dude!

[Chumbaweed]

Shit Yeah! This is awesome, so good to see some decent metal bands from NZ!

[SonicAltar]

@Chumbaweed Thanks! :)

[jennalou11]

[evaneboy]

if some day bruce die (i wish not so early) this guy could take his place in iron maiden

PD: bass playing iron maiden and wearing a metallica shirt, nothing better xD

[MrIkesimba]

Three Justin Bieber fans hate real music.

[astaarpixie]

[KainosMan]

@astaarpixie Their album comes out the first quarter of this year! First single is on Off the Record on the Rock at the moment!

[abassplayer4life]

You know what I'm going to say. Got to work on those bass lines. The song is lacking without the correct bass lines. Otherwise, very good.

[80sMeavyHetal]

very nice version, guys !

amazing singing, good drummer

but pls tell your bassist to search for the right tabs and to throw that plektrum away ! :D

[justinsaidso]

ROCK ON!!!!!! \m/

[careypricefan11]

@katiesaathoff I get what you mean haha

These guys are amazing, probably the closest to the original I've heard. But, no one is, and will ever be, Bruce Dickinson, the living legend.

[futis49]

i would love to get that guitar sound on my guitar ! what amp and what settings are you guitarists using ?

[LoULoU60500C]

Wonderful guys ! Superb I was really surpprise when i listened the first note, just wondeful !

[matkapo22]

[theboywhocantollie]

[madaga38]

WOW !!! Kurt Cobain is ressucited and he plays Iron Maiden now !!! XD

[atreyustripes]

[andhoz]

[TheTotodu40140]

[Ludzburg]

to bad the bass is wrong

[Fett316]

Amazing job! I felt the bass player was slacking off as far as that went, but otherwise perfect!

[IPlay4G0d]

Well my face has been sucessfully melted....great work

[simson612]

best cover on the net!

[RammsteinerG15]

very very very nice cover!!

[fanofthemusic1090]

It was good and everything, everybody knows exactly what they're doing... but seriously, does EVERYBODY have to cover Maiden with a quiet bass? Turn the damn thing up, there's some sexy bass on this song. I couldn't hear any of the fills.

[bobygap]

awesome !

[guitars71]

Best cover I've ever heared! You guys were on key with everything! Vocals, drums, bass, lead, and rhythym! Just as great, if not, better than the real Maiden!

[matolato1]

you should be the replace if iron maiden cant sing live!!!! lol and 4:06 singer was awesome!

[matolato1]

you should be the replace if iron maiden cant sing live!!!!

[NYtoNV]

Intense! great job

[gigabroly]

Bass could improvise more like Harris :(

Voice is awesome !

[IronMaiden6226]

bro, u guys should do an Aces High cover, that would be mean

[SonicAltar]

@IronMaiden6226 Cheers! Yeah, we love that song! But we don't wanna just be known as a cover band hahah. Check out our original shit on our myspace!

[dragonz208]

good version, exept for the voclas, but good job!!

[IronMaiden6226]

@dragonz208 what are you talking about, the vocals are awesome

[mingetroll]

This, gentlemen, is how covers should be made.

This REALLY needs more views, my damn.

[wfo662002]

Good job on the tune but killer video work.

[LordNekromurderer]

Metallica Shirt FTW

[TallAskara]

Omg, i love his voice .__. Good one,

[72enjoi]

omg the most awesome cover i have seen in my life

[ropeadope87]

You guys do Maiden's music justice. ROCK ON!!!!

[vanginuyashafan]

Who did missclick the "I like this video" Botton? xD

[Michalpawpaw]

@vanginuyashafan

i did

:'(

[NiveK686]

0:21 lol, look at the wall

[topholewhat0]

pay homage to rock at the sonic altar.

[in4time]

very enthusiastic sound Guys. If you are OK with a reasoned critique: Listen to your kit player, he'll keep you together; bass and kit supply the drive and the pulse. Vocals: a bit of light and shade would be good! Difficult to ascertain via you tube vid' but is your mix right. Snare is prominent but your kick is hiding. Tip: Do a number with some picked guitar work, great for improving your clarity.

[veigasport]

4:00 great improvisation

[PALOHIPHOPAS]

great voice dude!!!! way to go

[TheRimeOfIcarus]

Loved everything except the drums.

[chillichomper]

[judaspriestrock]

Nice screammm ha. Wonder if you could sing some of skid rows stuff..

[GlidingOnGlass]

U guys r beast

[KainosMan]

If it was all the same then it wouldn't be a cover would it?

[Esbanez]

That was fucking awesome!

Your singer has a hell of a voice on him!

[JohnBaldwinn]

@Esbanez oh ya not be a hater but just listen to all the effects on his voice its ridiculous. He is really not a good singer at all.

[SonicAltar]

@JohnBaldwinn That's pretty hater-ish... Watch our live stuff if you think our singers bad, or listen to our original recordings on myspace.

[megamoc]

now that was awsome!

[Showmesomeguitar]

[Ringalls567]

The vocals sound like a mix of Bruce Dickinson and Jack Black

[raide621]

As good as the original but I'm hanging out for your album !

[victum92]

great cover

[reverencenz]

This is my favorite Sonic Altar track.... I saw a vid some other band covering it, but the singer ruined it. Bass player was good though.

Great stuff guys. Now where's some more SA original stuff?
