Hey everyone! It’s been quite a bit since we’ve done a Lamb Of God cover, so I figured it was time to bring out another one of their tunes. This time we’re ripping through Beating On Death’s Door, and it’s kind of a funny/stupid reason why. Of course the song itself is bloody fantastic, written by Adler instead of Morton so it’s got more proggy elements to it, and that main riff is such a… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re gonna be ripping through some more metal today here at Okzygen, so I hope you’re ready to rage with Revocation! This time we’re tackling the opening track from their self-titled release, The Hive, and I’ve gotta say I haven’t had this much struggle learning a tune since doing the Necrophagist cover a few months back. There’s so much going on with the hands in this song, and once that breakdown riff kicks… 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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
