RWBY: Fear - Orchestral Metal Remix
A symphonic metal cover of the RWBY Volume 7 end credits theme.

Before even starting work on this one, I decided to use a different singer for the lead, feeling the weightier voice fit better than the light one I usually go for.
When starting work, I luckily had a pretty complete MIDI to reference, only needing some corrections and filling in here and there.
Liking how the guitars and drums sounded as-is, I opted to leave them almost entirely unchanged this time, with the most significant change being adding lead guitars in the final chorus, and the first bar of the solo using whammo pedal goodness. The strings saw the most changes, being expanded in role more or less through-out the whole piece. To a lesser extend, the brass received the same treatment, while for the percussion, I pulled from my usual bag of tricks. I like anvils, timpani and tubular bells. lol.
A lot of it went through a bunch of revisions as I tried to differentiate from the original without making things into a overly busy mush. I also redid the solo more times than I care to remember, having struggled getting the sound I wanted down for it.
Time spent working on the track: 34 hours.

Your voice is amazing
A compliment to my programming chops. 'cause this is a synth, not a real singer. Either way, thanks. :D
@@NailikNoteworks well also I love your metal guitar playing as well
@@RayaChan22 Heheh. The guitars are MIDI too. Everything is. I can't play any physical instruments, but I'm pretty good at emulating it, and getting better with every track. (Also just for the record. None of this is gen-AI. I don't touch that shit. :P )
@@NailikNoteworks im just trying to compliment 😊 I love making people's day's better 💕☺️
@@RayaChan22 It's very much appreciated, don't misunderstand. 😄 Thank you.
原曲以上の手に汗握る緊張感
So ... Two things I've enjoyed in a new project... Yes please
Pardon? I'm not sure what you mean.
@NailikNoteworks Hero is one of my top 10 RWBY songs, and when I listen to random music orchestral metal is one of my major favs
@@Iejir_Isk Ah, I get you. Well, happy to have delivered. :D
It’s so beautiful
Thank you very much. ☺
Common Nailik banger!
Thank you. :D
Beautiful, keep it up 💯👍❤️🔥
You know I will. ;D Happy to have you along for the ride!
The single quality that is common across every living creature on this planet... is fear. It’s funny then, that as common as fear is... we so easily underestimate its power. Fear of growing close to someone, a subsequent fear of loss, fear of failure. And as more people depend on you, those fears can take on greater power. But fear itself isn’t worthy of concern, it is who we become while in its clutches. Will you be proud of that person? Will you forgive them? Will you understand why they felt the need to do the things they did? Will you even recognize them? Or will the person staring back at you be the very thing you should have feared from the start? I suppose we all find out... sooner or later Still love this quote cause of how real it is
I actually love Casey Lee's music! I just got a guitar earlier this week and one of the first big songs I want to try and learn is this, very inspiring❤ (You should give me tips😭)
Happy to hear! Good luck on your journey! :D As for tips. Uhh... I got nothing. xD I don't actually play any instruments - this is all MIDI.
@@NailikNoteworks Oh... IT'S OKAY LOL😭
Beautiful work!
Thank you. 😊
Absolutely love this song, excellent work!
Thank you. :D It's a great song, Casey did well composing it. The part in-between the first chorus and 2nd verse is my favourite.
💜
This song goes hard 🔥
I know nothing about JPDE but i love this song
If you like VNs, give the game a look. They're free, and the remaster (Refrain) just dropped today. ;D
This is my favorite song! thank you for making a rock version.
Jpde is such a masterpiece. Love your remix
Even included the buildup? Yet another Nalik banger It might just be me, but the vocals are somewhat quiet in relation to the instrumental, it's hard to hear the lyrics
Thank you. :D This is one of those ones that's just not the same without the build-up. As for the mixing, you might be right. You're not the first to say. I felt the vocals were mixed kinda loudly in my previous work, so I tried something different here. But I'll go back to the old levels going forward. lol
How does this have so few likes? This is abgreat arrangement
My stuff tends to not reach new audiences after a bit, so the view-like ratio is because the former comes from a small handful of people that give it repeat listens. Either way, thank you. Glad you like it. :)
Very nice work, Nail. Sounds great. I loved the arrival of the electric guitar at 1:03. It kicks ass. I also loved the interlude at 2:40! It's great. And also the guitar playing from 3:45. It's typical of prog rock and prog metal, and it's really cool! Well done :)
Heh, old as this is, this track really isn't up to my standards any more. There's a lot that could be done better. Also, hey there! Long time no see. :D
A Great song from the best Volume in the Series
Absolutely incredible! Always a banger when you make a video.
D'aww, thank you. ☺ Really nice to hear. :)
One of my faves from that volume.
For me, top place of the V7 ones are a toss-up between Hero and Fear.
Nice as always!!!
Thank you! :D
I'm not the only one who can't help but think of Aerosmith when listening to this, am I.
I don't think I ever really listened to a Aerosmith song, so I couldn't say. It _does_ however remind me of Play With Me, by Extreme.
@@NailikNoteworks I haven't heard of them but I'll check them out.
Of course TH-cam didn't send me the notification when this went live this would have been perfect when I was getting out candy on Halloween but instead I just had to use normal Rwby music
That's unfortunate. 😅 Next year then!
9:57 I will never not tear up at this.
"I lost? ME?!"
Sorry, correction, it sounds like a mix between the original soundtrack and Globus... specifically Diem Ex Dei at the end!
Sounds like a mix of trailerhead and CLW, not bad!
Love RWBY songs so much!
Just like me frfr
Oh boy! This is amazing!!!
Happy Birthday Ruby!!!!!
Lovely.
Here's to a spiritual All-Hallow's Eve, and a quick tribute to my favorite huntswomen of red, white, black,and yellow! 🥀 Like her mother before herself, a reaper of Grimm cloaked in red, blessed with silver, and goes where the wind takes her - like a rose petal as sharp as steel. 🧊 Born, grown, and tempered in the cold - both literally and figuratively - she may stand among her peers like a towering giant in another life... but she chose to call them family instead. Like water and ice itself - she learned of change, flow, and... Wait... a minute... 🦝 [proceeds to lose my mind about trying to catch up with the lore of talking trash cans] 🐈⬛️ Dehumanized and betrayed - yet, she remains among all those who called her "monster." Nible as a cat, yet is ostracized like a black sheep among the herd. Through all her doubts, it's thanks to those closest to her that remind her that she still has something worth fighting for. 🌻 *_"I WANNA PUNCH THAT!"_* 《unapologetically punches y-》OW, SON OF A..!
oh yea its Halloween for where u are isn't it??? well happy!!!! Halloween
Not for me, I'm not from North-America. But I wish everyone who does celebrate it a jolly old time. :D
@@NailikNoteworks really? im used to it being the us bc im from AUS...
@@lexia-r6f I'm Dutch, myself. So not even from the Anglosphere. lol
@@NailikNoteworks woah i didnt think u were dutch thats so cool i bet where u live is pretty! (btw when i say AUS i mean Australia.. im from sa (south Australia)
Perfect timing for Ruby’s birthday. Great song.
That was the intent. And thank you. 😄
@ You’re very welcome keep up the great work.
Happy Halloween 🎃 💀
It's not a thing where I live, but happy Halloween to everyone who does celebrate it. :D
Caleb hyles would be proud
If someone with reach would like to show this to him, I'd love to see the reaction. lol
Honestly didn't once think of Caleb until you mentioned it, and I agree 100%. I can hear/see a collaboration in future!
“Maybe put away the good glasses.”
“We can’t afford to wait for a miracle to come to us! We have to create one for ourselves or every hope is gonna be crushed under these abominations!”
YOOOOOO lets go! Never dissapoints!
I have been waiting for this one to come out since I discovered your project months ago. It did not disappoint, this was a glorious remix. This track doesn't get nearly as many remixes and love as it deserves, and you did it justice with this remix. You really captured both what it was like to hear it when it first aired in episode and when the full version dropped. I love it
This is insanely good!!
Great Remix Really enjoyed it.
Thank you. 😊
Ahhh, the best theme for the worst treated character!
Even in death, he can't catch a break. 😔
At least they can't hurt him anymore... (or can they?)
@@irongeneral7861 Don't give them any ideas. lol
I recently found your channel and I love your covers and ironwood was my favorite character until Volume 8 where they ruined him but I love this song because I have used it multiple times because there are some friends that I have where I would literally do anything for them
Well done version of King Mall-Cops theme.
this made me cackle
Have you ever thought of putting your music on Apple Music? I’m sure you would reach a broader audience Love it by the way!!!!
I'm not entirely sure but there could be some copyright issues since it is a cover of a song but I could be completely wrong
I get that question a lot, but nah. I'm not on any of the streaming services. Aside from potential copyright headaches, I don't think that would be in my best interest. Like, I'll be real. My channel pretty much is sustained by returning viewers. If this stop coming because my stuff is elsewhere, the channel would be pretty much dead.
No that sounds fair And 100% reasonable keep up the good work!!!! Amazing music
God this was so badass to listen to. This has the tone and feeling of a fantastic boss fight! RIP to my favorite character... You deserved better James Ironwood...
They really wasted his character
IRONWOOD IS THE BEST CHARACTER IN RWBY, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! (before they ruined him post Vol. 7 :c)
RIP to James Ironwood.
Jason Rose gave his all for Ironwood, should’ve kept him until V10
but he wasn't "ruined". his character remained consitent even in downfall. honestly his story played out like a Greek Tragedy.
0:58 Atlas theme ( Ironwood Motif )
I also tried to include the motif from V2 in the bridge, but that didn't work out. 😖
@@NailikNoteworksI think Hero has those leitmotifs in Jeff’s notes since that Alex Abraham helped composed it in V2. I think he is a genius where some songs are ambiguous where we make a decision if it narrated a character or environment’s story
@@HobieBrown777 Abraham definitely doesn't get enough credit. His work in V6 was [chef's kiss]
@@NailikNoteworks Lionize in some parts have Gregorio choirs to substitute with “ I am here, I am your saviour, I’ll be Lionized “ ‘ I am the path to reclamation’ ( sometimes in that part of V6, it kinda sounds like Ecce Homo )
