Hey everyone! Hope you guys are ready for something a little different today. As you can see, I’m using this really weird guitar for this video. It’s missing two strings, it’s bloody huge and heavy, and for some reason you play it without a pick. It’s a bass. But we’re doing Lacquer Head by Primus, so of course we’re doing it on the bass! I actually started out on bass way back before picking up… Continue reading
Hey everyone, I hope you’re ready for some brutally heavy metal today, because we’re turning the aggression dial up all the way up! As you may have noticed, that song title up there’s been a little bit censored. I mean, it’s not like it’s tough to figure out what it says, but I wanted to give people the chance to like, not click on it if it’s gonna offend their senses. But I’m pretty sure… Continue reading
Hey everyone, welcome back to the studio! It’s another Friday, so once again we’re ripping through another cover video. Today we’re playing another classic of times gone by, Cult of Personality by Living Colour. Admittedly, I don’t know too much music from these guys, but I’m sure we’ve all heard this one before. That main riff is truly iconic, and I don’t know about you guys but it definitely triggers the feeling of an era… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re back at the studio for another cover video, this time we’re ripping through another Children of Bodom song called Not My Funeral. I did this cover once about 12 years ago, before I had much knowledge on how to make recordings, you know, not sound like crap. I figured it would be a decent idea to redo this track having a bit more experience under the belt. But even though I learned… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re back at Okzygen again for our weekly video thing, rocking a Gojira cover of Oroborus. I really don’t give these guys enough listening time, as they’re fantastically heavy and destructive with their riffs. If you’ve never heard of these guys before, then prepare to be sonically delighted by some of the heaviest music of 2008. I remember hearing Gojira for the first time back then (in particular the song we’re playing today),… Continue reading
Hey everyone, it’s time for another video! It’s been just over a year since I rebooted the YouTube channel, and even though I’ve only been doing the regular upload things for the last three months, I wanted to mark the year with another Joe Satriani cover. So today we’re running through the track Always With Me, Always With You. I had this track figured out a few years back and played it during one of… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re doing another cover video today, and a long one at that with Right In Two by Tool. This band became a very important part of my musical influence long ago after being introduced to them by my buddy Alex, with masterful control over experimental time signatures, poly-rhythms, atmosphere, and of course the fantastic drumming of Danny Carey. But we’re not drumming today, we’re focusing on Adam Jones and all his little nuances… Continue reading
Hello you beautiful people! Today we’re ripping through the song Ravenous, by Arch Enemy. This group definitely pushed me into the heavier regions of metal back in the day, along with groups like Death and Children of Bodom. I’ve always preferred the arrangement with Angela Gossow on vocals, but to be honest I just haven’t bothered listening to much of the new stuff with Alissa White-Gluz. Might have to dive into their stuff again… Continue reading
Hey everyone! It’s that time of the week again, new video day! And today we’ve got another Lamb of God cover, this time we’re running through the song Blacken The Cursed Sun. I’m still trying to find a balance and flow to how I do these edits. The last cover (Crystal Mountain by Death) leaned more towards solid single shots with just a few close-up transitions. This time around I had a bit more fun… Continue reading
Hey everyone! We’re rocking another cover video today, another all time favourite with Crystal Mountain by Death. Decided to run this one for a few reasons, one being because Death is awesome and you should listen to them more, and because next week I’ll be heading to Toronto to see Death To All, a group consisting of various surviving members of the band paying (and playing) tribute to the mastermind behind the group, Chuck Schuldiner.… Continue reading
