In Flames – Artifacts Of The Black Rain | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone! We’re back at Okzygen with our weekly video, this time doing some old school melodic death metal. This band was the one that introduced me to the more melodic sides of metal, back when I was still actually taking lessons on guitar and bass. Today, we’re ripping through Artifacts Of The Black Rain by In Flames. Now, the band has definitely changed their sound through the years (and their lineup, considering there are… Continue reading

Tool – Pneuma | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone! It’s another Friday, so it’s video time. This week we’ve got another Tool cover with one of their newer tunes, Pneuma. Another long, proggy tune full of intricate time signature changes, mind bending riffs, all that good stuff we love here. It also clocks in about 12 minutes long, so hope you guys are comfortable. To be honest, there’s a few more flubs in this take than I normally like, but with such… Continue reading

Primus – Lacquer Head | BASS COVER

  By , ,

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

Justin Strode – Victims of Infinity | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

  By , ,

Hey everyone! If you’re here, then you probably know what day it is and what to expect. The weekend is upon us, and it’s time for another video. Although this time we’re doing a couple different things. First off, we’re going back to some original music, with Victims of Infinity, off the 2020 album of the same name. Secondly, we’ve added another camera! Well, phone. Phone camera. Broken phone camera that has no working USB… Continue reading

Necrophagist – Mutilate The Stillborn | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

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

Living Colour – Cult of Personality | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

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

Children Of Bodom – Not My Funeral | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

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

Gojira – Oroborus | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

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

Justin Strode – We Take The Grave | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

  By , ,

Hello everyone, and happy Friday! It’s been a bit since I’ve done one of my own tunes, so today we’re ripping through We Take The Grave, off the 2018 release Megalomaniac. This album was part of the Record Production Month challenge, when one records an albums worth of stuff in the 4 weeks of February. I took it a little bit further and wrote all the music as well during this time, because I like… Continue reading

Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey Everyone! We’re turning the clocks back a bit further than normal today and jamming out to Hallowed Be Thy Name, by Iron Maiden. This group definitely got me started on this guitar journey and this path down the dark side of metal. I remember finding this record among my parents collection and essentially annexing it as my own, spending hours on end flipping this record over and over again while hiding in my room.… Continue reading
