I just want you to know that i listened to this version of yours atleast 20-30 times fully now (i added it to ny spotify playlist). I haddent even heard the original up until half an hour ago and I think you totally smashed it out of the park. I much prefer your instrumentals and sound over the original. I hope you keep em coming!
Holy shit!!! Amazing! 👏 Thank you for making this!! IA is one of those bands with epic compositions that I just can't get myself to listen to. While I enjoy every audible aspect including the vocals, I usually find the subject matter repulsive. I'm sure this was no easy feat to recreate so thank you for your impeccable work to create this. I'm so happy right now
i understand what you're saying but man they really outdid themselves with the work on this. I had a blast recreating melodies with orchestral components. thank you so much for the kind words!
@@Thallingsworth Woohoo! Is it still coming? And do you think you could post tabs or something, that would be very much appreciated even if its just in pdf form! I've always wanted to learn that song but I'm not good enough learning things by ear. Your covers are insane and the mix is incredible. I've been played for about a year and a half. I'm tackling this song right now, fave band alongside Shrine of Malice which are highly underrated imo.
wow. How long did this take you? I'm working on a drum only track of this and it has taken me a while. also, may be a stupid question, but how did you get the tempos so perfect? Are you just really good at hearing tempos or did you use some kind of program?
hey boss! i did all of the tempo changes in reaper by hand/ear! this whole cover took me a month to complete. i can send you pefect drums midi if youd like!
So for this one I used the Friedman 2018 model on the axe fx II. Going in with a slight boost/overdrive, and blending some cabs and mics to get a nice midsy crunch. After that it’s just getting a nice Lofi delay
@@Thallingsworth yooo ty sir! I never actually knew u still reply to old videos, I even dmed u on insta cause I thought ud never reply, thanks sir! Have a great day my dood
Nope, I did literally everything from scratch and by ear. Programmed drums by hand, learned and performed all of the guitar parts by ear, and added an orchestra that I thought would fit pretty good.
My album is out! It’s a double album so you’ll have to listen to the Head Hunter version and the Leviator version. The album title is “Head Hunter x Leviator Split”
6:50 this solo sounds the exact same as the original. holy shit that is amazing
my fingers know what to do after 4 years of constant replays hahahahaha thank you boss!!
9:20 god damn man thats fucking insane
Absolutely insane
Holy shit man im glad this popped on my recommended thank you very much, waiting for Pelt of Innocent Flesh :D

This must have been one hell of a struggle. All my kuddos to you!
Ah sh*t. Here we go again.
YOU GOTTA GO IT
Omg! I could never do something as good as this! You are a god for making a cover of this!
Holy shit!!! Amazing! 👏

Same boat here! Having these instrumentals to listen to is a godsend haha
Holy shit I LOVE the orchestral elements you've added to this! 11/10 cover! You are a talent....to behold!
Thank you so much Michael! I appreciate it a lot when people notice the extra efforts I put in to these. Pelt of Innocent flesh coming soon!

@@Thallingsworth i can try aswell
I love you

ахуеть, это просто гениально!
how can I achieve this lead guitar tone? Really good!
So for this one I used the Friedman 2018 model on the axe fx II. Going in with a slight boost/overdrive, and blending some cabs and mics to get a nice midsy crunch. After that it’s just getting a nice Lofi delay
Fuckin insane haha! 🤘
How did you do the drums? absolutely insane.
Programmed them all by hand! Took me a month to complete the full thing all around
Did you learn by ear or tabs?
Mostly by ear. I used tabs for a solo I think. Everything besides guitar was programmed by ear as well
Is there any way to download this, or do you have it on any other platforms. This is literally so amazing
i like your pfp
@@balancewiz199 I like both of your pfp's
@kylethealmighty2196 I like your name
@@ky1ewithsty1e I like your muscles
This is awesome bro. Can I use this for a vocal cover?
you know it boss!
Cheers! I'm planning to do Part IV.
Hello, is it fine to use this as my vocal cover? U have a great day my dude
100% go for it!
@@Thallingsworth yooo ty sir! I never actually knew u still reply to old videos, I even dmed u on insta cause I thought ud never reply, thanks sir!
Have a great day my dood
Sure thing!!! send it over when you're done!@@ZuriaX666
So what did you do? Edit the original audio files and remove vocals?
Nope, I did literally everything from scratch and by ear. Programmed drums by hand, learned and performed all of the guitar parts by ear, and added an orchestra that I thought would fit pretty good.
Hardest part was playing with the tempo map to get it 100% accurate throughout the song.
what vst you use for choir\orchester?
I used a combination of spitfire, Ark one metropolis, forzo brass, and studio ensemble strings
@@Thallingsworth thank you!
Bro you need to write, give us something
My album is out! It’s a double album so you’ll have to listen to the Head Hunter version and the Leviator version. The album title is “Head Hunter x Leviator Split”
Do you have a band?
Yes I do! We're called Leviator, and we're dropping our debut single in a little under 12 hours :)
