Iron Maiden – Run To The Hills | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! We’re hanging out in the studio again, and today we’re celebrating the anniversary of a rather special album. It’s been 42 years since The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden was  released upon this world, and quite frankly that number seems surreal. To think that this record is ten years older than myself just seems absurd. This album in particular holds a rather special place here, as it was my first real… Continue reading

Lamb Of God – Insurrection | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone. I’m gonna keep this short today. Like straight up copy and paste most of the text from the YouTube description kind of short. Been dealing with some personal stuff. If you know, you know. We’re ripping through another Lamb Of God cover today, this time it’s Insurrection off their 2012 album Resolution. I have to say, out of all the albums that I’ve given the chance to listen to, this one has quite… Continue reading

Nine Inch Nails – The Becoming | FULL COVER

Hey everyone! We’re a little late getting this video out this week, but this one needed a little extra work to really make it something. See, this weekend is the 30th anniversary of one of my favourite albums of all time, The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails. This one has played a large role in my life, and I wanted to celebrate it a bit by doing a full cover of The Becoming! Now… Continue reading

RPM 2024 – Palanavra (Skeletal Mix)

Hey everyone! We’re cutting right under the wire here, but we’ve managed to make it to the finish line with this years RPM Project, Palanavra! Now as I’ve mentioned before, this is definitely not the final version of this album, this is just what we’ve been able to get finished in the last month. And I was honestly hoping to get more stuff done, but due to some outside influences taking up more of my… Continue reading

Vicarious – Tool | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! It’s been a pretty hectic few weeks in the studio trying to wrap up the recording for this years RPM Project. Currently there’s 7 songs almost fully recorded, with just a couple little extra bits to add before we get to the mixing stage. That being said, I’ve been craving another Tool cover lately, and I figured it would be a good reason to take a short break from all the RPM stuff… Continue reading

Steve Vai – Building The Church | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! It’s been a busy few weeks working on the RPM project, but I thought it would be a good idea to take a bit of a break from that stuff while also putting the chops to the test. So for today’s cover we’ve got a song that I’ve been trying to learn for quite literally years. Coming from the wonderful mind of Steve Vai, we’re ripping through Building The Church! I’m not joking… Continue reading

Justin Strode – Sky Charmer | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

Hey everyone! We’re kicking it at Okzygen as always, in the midst of this years RPM Project. It’s still a bit early to tell how things are going, but songs are getting written, ideas are getting trashed, strings be vibrating (possibly in more dimensions than we can comprehend), and at the very least, noise is being created. Even though we’re elbow deep in the creation of this weird, thing, we can’t just not have a… Continue reading

Behemoth – Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! I’m sitting here in the studio working through this years RPM project, when it occurred to me that there’s some unused videos kicking around. And today of all days is a great day to drop this little Behemoth cover of Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel! For you see, today marks the 10th anniversary of their 2014 album The Satanist. This album took a bit to really digest, and I remember not being very impressed… Continue reading

Skeletonwitch – I Am of Death | GUITAR COVER

Hey everyone! We’re back in full swing with the weekly uploads, and to start things off we’re gonna be ripping through some Skeletonwitch and their song, I Am of Death (Hell Has Arrived). I remember encountering these guys for the first time back in 2009, during a Children Of Bodom concert down in Toronto, at what used to be The Sound Academy. Pretty sure they were on tour with The Black Dahlia Murder. That was… Continue reading

Palanavra – Record Production Month 2024

Hey everyone! After a brief hibernation to recharge the batteries, we’re coming back swinging with new videos on the YouTube channel starting tomorrow. And I’m bringing something else to the fold to help start out the new year. I know it’s been a few years since we’ve done this, but I’ve decided it’s time to give it another go. That’s right, we’re doing the Record Production Month challenge again! Last time I tried this was… Continue reading
