This is a song I've been thinking about doing for quite some time, and the perfect opportunity came up when PixelMixers announced that the theme for this month's VGM contest is games that are the second installment in a franchise/series. In this case, Soul Reaver is the sequel to Blood Omen (they both belong to the Legacy of Kain series).
These games are primarily known for their excellent story, voice acting, and sometimes aggravating block puzzles. The music is often very atmospheric and not usually the centre of attention, and the series is a bit overlooked in general, so covers of its music aren't very common. I thought this would be a good song to cover since it's pretty dramatic sounding, and a bit more involved than most of the music.
I decided to include some lead keyboard parts again, but I used a different lead synth sound than the last few times -- let me know if you like it better than the previous one or not!

So rare to see some legacy of kain, thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Freakin Awesome! They remastered Soul Reaver 1 and 2 out in december
Nice to see there are still many OG LoK fans out there willing to revive the franchise.
The coin is still turning after all.... but nobody ever anticipate the outcome where the coin spins for eternity in the hub of the wheel
It's really cool hearing such a clean version of this.
H E A V Y! Like the journey your cover takes us on. :D
love the broad range of atmospheres in this cover
Sick cover, congratz! 3:34 🤯
Fu**ing AWESOME!!! Great work man! You restored the balance on the Pillars! 🧛
Thank you for this. Soul reaver has such a memorable soundtrack
Love it bro! I was 14 when LOK SR came out and that intro video gave me chills and still does. Excellent cover!
i listen this every day on the morning, the perfect song for walking to the gym. love it.
Wow those are some cool guitars! Awesome arrangement and performance, and I really like those keyboard melodies, nice work!
These guitar tones are really boss
Great to see some more people other than me paying Kain his tribute. Loved that synth part!
Really good, hail nosgoth!
This is epic bro!!! Love this so much
I'm not familiar with the original, but this is amazing! It reminds me of some of the darker/moodier prog songs that really got me hooked on the genre! The changes in dynamics is brilliant too, I always love it when songs can seamlessly change between the heavy sections and the soft/atmospheric sections!
Also, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but it was impossible not to headbang to that 'Meshuggah - Bleed' riff at 3:52!
Thanks a lot! Haha the Meshuggah was kind of intentional, I don't listen to them much but I really liked that syncopated pattern and thought it would fit will in that part of the song
Very well played on the guitars and the keyboard . The cover sounds fantastic!
Damn, 2 years and this vid still have 0 dislike. That alone is legendary.
Actually dislikes just don't show on TH-cam in public anymore. I do have 5 dislikes on this video. But that's fine with me lol thanks for listening!
Very nice chilled opening. Also, it really looks like the dude is coming out of the screen for you at 0:34! Love when you take it up a few notches too.
This is next level! That guitar tone at the beginning sounds like a violin it's really cool...and you're making such good use of your synth! Very proggers.
Haha thanks :)
Very nice bud
Loved it, thank you for this! 👍
No, thank you!
That natural wood guitar is so interesting. Great job man!
Thanks man!
Excellent cover! Absolutely loved the clean tones early on at around 0:30. The lead there sounded like it was played on a piezo. The lietmotif you're playing around 1:30 sounds so well done. It really captures the epic feel of the piece and game in general. Loved your keyboard solo patch too. Brings back classic prog memories! Early Dream Theater also had these sort of keys when Derek played them. The syncopated guitar riff that stars in the back at around 2:52 adds such a nice groove! It reminds me so much of Porcupine Tree's Anesthetize. Also, absolutely love the Meshuggah homage at 3:52!
I think the leads were mixed a touch loud. Perhaps cutting the rhythm guitar's high end and reducing gain by 1 or 2db just for those parts might've allowed for it to sit nicely without fighting for space with levels.
Regardless, this was some fantastic stuff all in all! Looking forward to hearing more!
Thanks a lot!! I never actually made the Anesthetize connection, but I hear it now haha. I definitely intended that part at the end to be a bit Meshuggah-like, ironically I don't even listen to them much. 😅
Thanks for the feedback on the mix too! I'll keep those tips in mind for my future covers 🙂
@@TripleBMusic You're most welcome! Our influences show up in music unconsciously so all I can say is you have great taste if you accidentally sound like Steven Wilson from time to time, haha! Meshuggah are hard to listen to on repeat but their rhythmic motifs are always very quotable, so to speak.
I have some LoK cover myself on this channel and I'd love it if you could critique them. I quite liked the way yours turned out so I'm looking forward to your take
😄
Great job man! I'm not familiar with the game or this tune at all but this was a fun cover to listen to. I like how it sort of build up slowly to something really epic and heroic sounding. Those low chugs were really cool also. Looks like you're having a lot of fun playing around with the keyboard and it sounds great!
Thanks man, glad you liked it! Yeah the keyboard is super fun :)
You rock, mate. Amazing reimagining and execution
ты лучший у меня слёзы ностальгии
Really enjoyed this and nice to see some love for this game
Thanks! It surprised me how many people wanted to see a Soul Reaver cover tbh, didn't realize how much of a diehard fanbase it has
Not familiar with this one but it sounds like a pretty cool tune! Really digging the synth work also. Good stuff, dude!
Thanks man!
Love the build up in this cover! Really rockin cover and a great performance! Great job!
cool.
I am moved by your work, bravo!
So nostalgic... Nice cover!
Very cool! This is how it felt to try to take on Kain when I was a kid-- way too intense for only being two bosses in. lol
Haha thankfully he can never really "kill" you
Wow! This arrangement is 🔥🤘
You have some really great tones all around, man. Sick cover, and I'm pretty happy to see some Soul Reaver get some love.
Thanks dude!
Love the Post Rock opening, so nice 👌
Duuuuuude. First of all... excellent choice.... second of all... great work!!
Thanks man!
Really enjoyed the arrangement, awesome cover!
Yus ! That's what I'm talking about, gutkicking grooves and spot on melody lines ! Fantastic job ! I'm curious where does that 8 string come from ?
Thanks a lot! The guitar is made by a small company called Hart Guitars. I bought it second hand from someone who also changed the pickups and tuners, and possibly other things
heck yeah what a jam!
Is that a midi guitar in the beginning? :o
Loving this sound and these tones a lot!
When that synth came in though
Nope! The beginning does have a VST cello though
Ame tu versión, amo a este juego. Gracias por tan hermoso trabajo ❤
This is damn good. Glad I found you. Jesus
Thanks a lot!
Great cover.
Vae Victus!
this is Awesome, my favorite game ever. i only have one guitar xD.
Epic cover. and the Game is Back this year with the Novel.
Dude I was hoping for someone to play Kain encounter instead Ozar Midrashim heheh on my opinion Kain encounter is better than Ozar Midrashim even have similar chords! tks for this dude you rock! :)
put it in the game!!!
Get this on your Spotify account. I want to jam to this.
Not familiar with the original, that minisolo at 3.39 was that your own addition? :) it sounded really greast , and the rest of the cover aswell
Thanks!! Yeah, I added that little "solo" there if you want to call it that lol, just a little embellishment on the original melody
Remaster of Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 has been announced fellow Nosgothians
So excited!!
Elegante ❤
It's being redone in hd comes out Dec.13th bro of 2024
nice job how long did it take you to put it all together
any chance of the tabs for Guitar ! ? - would love to learn to play this using Rock smith then without
Hmm it was a while ago, but I want to say about 2-3 weeks to make this?
I don't have any tabs unfortunately or any software to make good ones :(
épico
👍!!!
❤❤❤👍👍👍
This needs to be faster to sound more like the original, just sounds like the intro to the game.
How so? If I wanted it to sound like the original, I wouldn't have done my own arrangement of it
@@TripleBMusic Because Kain Encounter is a faster version of the intro theme.
I am aware of that. I matched the tempo of the original while making this so I'm not sure how it's slower, although I made the intro really sparse if that's what you mean.
