Not gonna lie, I’m surprised it’s taken me so long to cover a Dethklok song. I’ve been watching the show and blasting the music pretty much since day one, but aside from learning the coffee jingle, and maybe the intro song, this is the first time I’ve sat down and tackled one of their songs in full. So today we’re ripping through their tune Starved, apparently based on the events of the very first… Continue reading
Well hello there. It’s been quite a bit. Let’s just say I’ve been preoccupied these last number of months. Moving sucks. It’s taken a bit longer than I hoped to get back into the regular swing of things, but we’re almost there. I may have also found my way into The Black Lodge, and quite frankly it’s a pretty decent place to do some recordings. Acoustically a little weird, so the mixes might be… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re here as always, hanging out in the studio with the weekend bearing down upon us once again. Lately I’ve been feeling a bit of a craving, a desire to mess around with some Drop-C riffage. So a few days ago we drop-tuned the Beast and almost immediately some fantastically heavy riffs began to pour out. At the same time I realized the door was now opened up to a plethora of… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re hanging out in the studio as always, whipping up some more covers and whatnot. Today we’ve got another Children Of Bodom tune to rip through, a little something called Bed Of Razors. Now I covered this song once years ago, way before the channel reboot. I actually took a peek at the original cover video the other day, just to kind of see how far things have come since then. And holy… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re hanging out at Okzygen celebrating the anniversary of a fantastic Death album, Individual Thought Patterns! Released back on June 22, 1993, this album was the only one to unite both Gene Hoglan and Steve DiGiorgio for a rhythm section, a duo that quite frankly cannot be beaten. In fact I’m still blown away from their performance last month during the Death To All show. So in honour of this anniversary we’ll be… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’ve wrapped around another week and ended up here on yet another Friday, but things are a little bit different today. It’s a bit related to today’s video actually, as later tonight I’ll be in the middle of a mosh pit thrashing around to Death To All, without a doubt the best Death tribute band around, as they rip through their album The Sound Of Perseverance in its entirety! So in honour of… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’ve made it to the end of 2023 relatively unscathed, and to celebrate we’re gonna be ripping through another Death cover! This time it’s the song Flesh And The Power It Holds, off their final album The Sound Of Perseverance. Now, this video was a little rushed this week so we’re focusing on a single guitar play-through for this video. Blame the holidays and the day job. And because this is a… Continue reading
Hey everyone! Hope you’re ready for just a flurry of notes today, because we’re ripping through some classic Children Of Bodom with their tune Silent Night, Bodom Night. This weeks choice may have been influenced by the release of their final live album of their final live show that came out the last couple of weeks, and if you haven’t listened to it yet I would highly recommend it. I haven’t been able to listen… Continue reading
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
Hey everyone! We’re getting a little heavy today, with a bit of the old Symphonic Black Metal. That’s right, we’re ripping through some Dimmu Borgir, with their song The Sacrilegious Scorn. This album in particular I believe was my first foray into this band, and it definitely created a core memory so to speak. Hearing such brutal heavy music paired with such melodic orchestration interwoven changed my perception of just what metal could accomplish in… Continue reading
