The Rise and Fall of Captain Marcus

I wrote this for a friend as part of my new year's resolution. Yes. Late. I know.

Oh, and I also know the montage of pictures stolen from the internet are sooooo 2009, but I couldn't think of anything else with which to convey the progression of the story. Plus, I have limited access to the internet so I couldn't get as many pictures as I would have liked. It's crude and immature (the sort of thing I would have done back when I was fourteen and listening to Evanscence), but it's better than watching a black screen for five minutes.

Hopefully, I will be getting some proper video editing software soon.

I'm a little leery of the current mix, it was distorting so I had to lower the volume to levels lower than I would prefer in a metal song :(. The drums may also be domineering, but I'll just have to see what it's like once YouTube's compression has had it's way with the song.

And as usual, the drumming is sloppy at times. As usual, I'm too lazy to re-record. Marcus, I hope you don't take that as an insult to our friendship!

What a fitting tribute! I was giggling all the way through this, it reminds me of Metalocalypse.

I am shocked and awed, sir. SHOCKED and AWED.
