My efforts and - not so - pointless persistence dedicaded to my friend, Pawel "Swobodny" and, of course, the composer of this awesome song, Tuomas Holopainen.

WATCH THIS VIDEO USING HEADPHONES, IF POSSIBLE!

Well, this took me some time... Every single instrument/keyboard line was both recorded on audio and video, it took me about 7 or 8 hours in 5 days to record everything (some videos didn't appear on the final thing, and some were just deleted), and some more days to sync, edit and mix.

I AM AWARE OF THE ERRORS, I know that some stuff are wrong, some chords are wrong, and some notes won't fit the harmony, I took every single orchestral line by ear, and I'm a human, therefore, I can mess up stuff (that's what people do, after all), and by the time I checked the errors, after recording, I had absolutelly no patience to record everything that was wrong again.. so I just left it as it was.

The audio was recorded on GarageBand and mixed on Pro Tools, the video was edited on Adobe Premiere Pro. I tried to make the pan of the audios sync with the small video positions inside the video, so the audio would be for this video only, it's not the most confortable thing to listen to since you have stuff like percussion, low strings and base strings on the sides.

I'm sorry about the video quality, my camera broke recently, and I had to use my mom's.

The blood scene is horrible, don't bother telling me what I already know.

So just enjoy, I kinda liked it, and Youtube's 15 minutes threshold was just asking for a badass Poet and the Pendulum cover, right?

Help me conquer Youtube! "Like", favorite, comment and share this video!

  • What I don't understand is why isnt there a full tutorial of this song? Its only the first two verses and the chorus. I would like to learn the solo badly, but I can't :/
