Primus – Too Many Puppies | BASS COVER

Hey everyone! It’s once again the end of the week so we’ve put together another video to usher in the weekend, this time a little number by Primus called Too Many Puppies. And this one’s a bit of a milestone, as it marks the 40th video I’ve put out this year alone! Not too shabby if I say so myself, considering before I rebooted the channel I was lucky to push out say, 5 videos… Continue reading

Children Of Bodom – Triple Corpse Hammerblow | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! We’re back at Okzygen again with another cover of some fantastic melodic death metal! That’s right, we’re ripping through some more Children Of Bodom with their song Triple Corpse Hammerblow, taken off their 2003 album Hate Crew Deathroll. I figured it was necessary to do a video for something off this album, as we just passed it’s 20th anniversary of release. This was also one of the albums that really got me into… Continue reading

Justin Strode – House on the Horizon | GUITAR, BASS, and SYNTH

Hey everyone! We’re once again back at Okzygen studios working on some stuff. This time around we’re revisiting an older tune of mine from 12 years back, a little tune called House On The Horizon. The first version was a rather laid back, stripped composition with only a couple of clean guitars and a basic drum beat. It was a rather relaxing, melancholic song back then, and was actually one of my most played ones… Continue reading

Death – Spirit Crusher | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! We’re hanging out at Okzygen Studios again, doing some more metal covers. This time we’re ripping through another Death song that someone requested over at the YouTube channel, a little tune known as Spirit Crusher. Now this is a song I’ve known for a very long time, actually probably as long as I’ve had the Beast now that I think of it. So doing this video was just an inevitability. And this time… Continue reading

Rush – YYZ | GUITAR COVER

Hey there you wonderful people, we’re back in the studio whipping up another cover today! And this time we’re taking on a tune from a classic Canadian band, Rush. That’s right, we’re doing up a cover of YYZ! Seems like this was inevitable in a way, being a fellow Canadian doing the metally, proggy stuff that I do here. Now believe it or not, it wasn’t actually the titular band that got me in the… Continue reading

Megadeth – Kick The Chair | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! We’re back at Okzygen Studios again, getting into some metal vibes for this weeks video. Today we’re ripping through the Megadeth song Kick The Chair, off their 2004 album The System Has Failed. Now unlike a good chunk of people, I never got into that whole Metallica versus Megadeth, commercial-friendly thrash thingy. Not to say their music didn’t have any influences, but it was never something I actively sought out to listen to.… Continue reading

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Tell Me Baby | BASS COVER

Alright everyone, I hope you’re ready for a bit of funk today, because we’re ripping through another Red Hot Chili Peppers cover on the bass! This time we’re running through the tune Tell Me Baby, a personal all-time favourite of pretty much all time. There’s something magnificently uplifting about this song, one can put it on at any time, no matter what bullshit they may have been dealing with, and just, feel better. It’s great.… Continue reading

Justin Strode – The Long Road Home | MUSIC VIDEO

Hey everyone! I know I say this pretty often, but I hope you’re ready for something different, because this time I actually mean it. Instead of the typical play-through video of a song, I decided to cut together a short music video from some test footage I shot while messing around with some new camera gear while out in the woods on vacation. Of course, the video also needed music to be called, you know,… Continue reading

Tool – Lateralus | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! We’ve scraped our way to the end of another bloody week (hopefully not literally) and can finally enjoy the weekend! Also it’s a Friday so I need to post another video. But not just any video. No no, this is a cover video. And not just any cover video, but Tool‘s Lateralus. So I hope you’re ready for some recreational math, because this song is chock full of references to the Fibonacci Sequence,… Continue reading

Death – 1000 Eyes | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! Hope you’re ready for some more metal, because we’re diving into another Death tune today! We’re ripping through 1000 Eyes in today’s video, a song that becomes more and more relevant as time goes on. We spend so much of our lives under the scrutinous lenses of social media perpetuating false notions of reality, portraying our concept of the perfect life for strangers to ogle over with mysterious intent. Countless hours are thrown… Continue reading
