Mako Reactor (Final Fantasy VII Cover)

[MaherLeary]

you sir, have unequivocally earned my Sub.

[Psychosis687]

I never liked being in the reactors because of this song. Now, years later, this song makes me miss those places...

[LIonGraphiK]

You recorded the guitar parts right? Guitar rig as well? I wish I could get a guitar VST like that, because I can't play the guitar :/

[skudpud]

Quite possibly one of the sexiest things I've ever heard...O.O

[ZeusOGaming]

@NixonPunch What about if there is never a remake of FF7? Will you still flip shit? I'd love to see that, please record it.

Other than that, Mat...You deserve a slap in the face for how ridiculously fucking awesome this is!

[amyantrobus91]

This is bloody brilliant :)

[CalmBluFire]

[CalmBluFire]

FUCKING BEAST SHIT MY PANTS HOLY AWESOME OF LEGENDARY AMAZINGNESS FUCK ME IN THE FACE THAT WAS AWESOME

[supergenoseth]

It blew my mind to many pieces. Then it came back together when I played it in reverse, then that damn Cloud came and chopped it again.

[TravisHutcheson]

This music you recreate, it's beautiful. You really put your own flavor into it.

[FRANKitachi]

is there a way to get this song for free? :(

[TANKFULLY]

This is your best cover in my opinion as it is so similar yet improves upon the original in every way. This is how covers should be done. BTW you should release an album with the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack covered by you. If you need me to record the drum tracks I would be able to help as I have high quality mics and could send the files over to you.

[KlonkaDonk]

Shit this is awesome!!!

You should do The highwind theme. ( when you first take off, not main world one) that just sounds like its made for sweeps or something

[Ichigi000]

This is a fucking powerful heavy sound! I love that! I think long hours of work on it!

[cecengineer83]

Your amazing, this is one of my favorite tracks from the soundtrack. You totally revived it, keep up the great work man

[ravingpyro]

Your sick man. Keep it up. (NO HOMO)

[Hareroo]

I've always loved this tune and this is just brilliant. By far the best cover / remix I've found

[caspian1993]

I wish this was on the actual game.

[321JackAttackkkk]

This is awesome! Keep it up :)

[remarkzero]

I think the way you have put your own twist on these songs is amazing and they actually seem to have more body to them. they have that metal punch now. Keep up the awesome work.

[fireydemonofchaos]

Am I the only one who thinks it sounds remotely similar to "This is halloween"?

or am I just going crazy...0_o

[bluestrat88]

im gutted i wanted to my own version of this and this i more or less what had in mind apart from a few small details

oh well back to the drawing board for me

awesome cover \m/

[L0rdPie]

this is fucking sick mean, nice job.

[Nosomi0710]

Just found your Songs by searching a nice Rock Version of the Gerudo Valley. Guess I listened to all of your Songs now. Just fantastic!

Love one more than the other...

[WaywardHeartX]

The sheer expertise in which you performed this cover has no words to describe it other than god-like. Along with making this song into an amazing metal cover, you kept the original feel and atmosphere of that part of the game. And that, my friend, is genius. Incredible job! :)

[JenovaS2]

I like how this game is still alive and loved by millons yet square enix does not remake this :/

[IzzySarru]

@JenovaS2 That's one thing that is good about Nintendo, they didn't give us a sample of a remade OOT and be like "Screw you, it's JUST a tech demo".

[JenovaS2]

@IzzySarru Yeah exactly, it makes no sense that square-enix would do something like that.

and I mean, what could they lose? They act like they are afraid of money

[IzzySarru]

@JenovaS2 The only downside I can see which will be the same downside of OOT is that nostalgia whores will complain about every little thing changed. x'D "This character stepped slightly more to the right then he did originally! THIS RUINS THE GAME!!11ONE!!11! )<"

[fmpfumofu]

@JenovaS2 they be afraid to go bankrupt they are on thin ice right now

[awesomeguy45]

Cover Vincents Theme!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im really interested to hear how you would do that one

[TpRunelover2008]

Wow... Epic... Final Fantasy 4 EVER!

[zaradax]

LOL @ the Don't forget to listen/watch in 720p!

[berserkerman]

brilliant. love all the work you do. listened to all the zelda songs. simply incredible.

[Dominator046]

As much of a Zelda fan I am, I must say... I think this was your best cover so far, it was just amazing, and completely mindfucking. You did this game an incredible amount of justice, its beyond any sort of compliment I can give you.

Pi to the tenth power / 5

[msampson3d]

Aaaaaaaand... fave.

[Addicted2Mario]

This sounds absolutely amazing!! I love your covers! :]

[FlamingFlarez]

Definitely an over rated Final Fantasy Game! But hell its a good game! Great Metal remix!

[LittleFu68]

That was freaking awesome. I'm incredibly jealous of your talent, sir. :) I can't wait to hear what you do next!

[Akiyhrah]

I LOVE you. 

[BokoNOM]

Holy fuck this is awesome :D

[skwarde]

Do you post your stuf on ocremix? you should.

[ArtificialFear]

@skwarde

I've posted to OCRemix recently. The process to be selected take a long time. I plan on submitting more if it's accepted.

[rhgenkoba]

You've got some serious talent. I've been following your various video game to metal translations. Fucking brilliant.

[ArtificialFear]

@rhgenkoba

Thanks, dude! I really appreciate the following and support! \m/

[Battl3Cry]

Possibility on FF8 music perhaps?

[ArtificialFear]

@Battl3Cry

Possibly. ;-)

[formosamortem]

@ArtificialFear If any... do The Castle. That would be thoroughly EPIC.

[TheOutlander37]

This is great, i cant wait till you progress this kind of stuff into your own original work. Remixes are great and all, but as art they only exist within the confines of the game. I can see you making beautiful metal like this where the only source material is your own hear. The combination of digital game music and metal have a special bond.

[ArtificialFear]

@TheOutlander37

Thanks! You're absolutely right; I need to focus more on my original work.

[TheOutlander37]

@ArtificialFear one thing to note, at least from my opinion. The remixes you do are very memorable, not because they are from games i am nostalgic for, but i think because they probably aren't composed like traditional metal. Now this is coming from someone with no background in music so take that as what you will. I look forward to the future of your work, your obviously someone who puts their heart into their work and it shows.

[kehoee117]

@ArtificialFear

but please don't stop the videogame eargasms

may i request a new FF song? you're choice, you'll nail it

[ChessAnyone]

@ArtificialFear

Aside from your awesomely metal covers I also appreciate your correct use of the words "your" and "you're". Keep them both up ( - ^)-b.

[masterogrp]

So, you are branching out into other franchises? This is awesome. Can't wait to see what you have in store!

[Xarie1]

Dude. I love you!

[StarScream6606]

Are you going to cover One winged Angel and J-E-N-O-V-A in the future?

[ArtificialFear]

@StarScream6606

Not One Winged Angel, but possibly J-E-N-O-V-A.

[StarScream6606]

@ArtificialFear Cool, can't wait!

[PGSawesome]

Awesome, one of the more atmospheric songs in the game and you really did it justice! :D

[Ihopeyoudietwice]

OH YES FINAL FANTASY

[Masume90]

As always, love your work.

Even though I consider myself a Zelda fan at heart I would not at all be upset if you covered Final Fantasy music. After listening to this the first thing that came to my mind is how awesome FF8s Liberi Fatali could be in your style.

But I think you're the one who knows best what you should cover. It's propably going to be awesome no matter the source material.

[OberonXIX]

You and your golden nuggets. GG

[TheManRaptor]

Please do this (watch?v=uRv8gnBMiWM) wind waker song! The opening/main theme is one of the best in all of Zelda! Also, Dragon Roost is pretty fantastic as well.

[MindTheSpark]

Fucking. Win.

[SxSXIII]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[lildread1]

You are a talented guitarist please continue to play itll help humanity.

[FamilyJules7X]

Awesome dude! Really chilling! I love you're ability to evoke dark emotion through your playing! Keep it up!

[ArtificialFear]

@FamilyJules7X

Thanks, dude! 

[TheGamingWeirdo]

@ArtificialFear this is Awesome, but im just wondering, will there be anymore Zelda Covers?

[ArtificialFear]

@TheGamingWeirdo

Yes, there will be more Zelda. I made a point to mention that in the description. Final Fantasy VII is another game with fantastic music that I personally enjoy. so I will be covering some songs from there, too.

[TheGamingWeirdo]

@ArtificialFear dang, sorry, i should have read the description, now i feel like a dick DX, well cool anyways XD

[ArtificialFear]

@TheGamingWeirdo

It's cool, dude. I knew that the Zelda fans would be confused/upset, so I made a point to mention it.

[SmashMastr98]

nice song. I would like to hear one of the boss themes from this game.

[LatteSippingElitist]

Sweet, Black Mages was never metal enough for FF7

[lunkheroofnuts]

i want zelda

[ZacharyThadJones]

How long does it take you to do these?

[ArtificialFear]

@ZacharyThadJones

It depends. This one took about 3 hours.

[ArtificialFear]

@BlackFangKnight

Good catch! Big fail on my part.

[DRPeppy64]

are u going to cover the sephiroth theme also? just curious

[ArtificialFear]

@DRPeppy64

The Black Mages have already covered that one pretty well. I will be doing one of his themes. (Not the 'main' one.)

[DRPeppy64]

@ArtificialFear ok i was never a big fan of the 7 minute theme anyway

[bean14hawks]

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO more FF covers please!!!
