Kvelertak - Blodtørst instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2022-10-21 | This Norwegian band mixes many rock/metal genres in their music, and I think Blodtørst presents some of their greatest riffs. The debut album itself is full of this kind of catchy songs, I highly recommend to listen to it.
Testament - The Preacher instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2022-07-30 | One of my favorites from the older albums of Testament. They have recorded the song twice. I prefer the sound of the new version, but it's not as fast as the original. So I my aim was to take the best parts from them to make this cover.

When I started playing this classic PC adventure game, I immediately had an idea to make a cover of the main theme and the St. George's Books also. It's finally done!

Tool - Vicarious instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2020-01-16 | One of the most popular songs from the band called Tool. 10,000 Days is also one of my all-time favorite albums, and I wanted to try this song with my new amp. I used several different tabs to record this, so it might not be accurate to the original.

Leevi and the Leavings - Teuvo, Maanteiden Kuningas instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2017-12-12 | Teuvo III as I like to call it, because this is my third cover overall of this particular song. Once again the reason for making another one is that the other version got so old that it sounds too horrible. So this is the upgraded and updated version of my Teuvo, Maanteiden Kuningas song, and most importantly, my tribute to Gösta Sundqvist and the Leavings!
Golden Axe cover Path of the Fiend/Death Adder/The Showdown Ztrawberry 2017-10-18 | Golden Axe and its Golden Music! I probably make another cover in the future that contains rest of the music, because it is just that good! But these are maybe my personal favorites.

Lady Gaga - Telephone instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2017-04-25 | While watching the SuperBowl halftime show, I got some ideas about making a cover of this particular song. The main idea was to include as many different genres as possible so it was kind of an experiment for me.

E-Type - Life instrumental metal cover Ztrawberry 2016-08-21 | There're many elements in the original song that can be transformed into metal music, so I decided to give it a try. A little bit of nostalgia from my childhood.
Boston - Peace Of Mind instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2016-06-30 | A very catchy song from the late 70s', originally composed by a band called Boston. At the moment I heard this piece of art, I wanted to make a cover of it adding more distortion in it. I also included the midi vocals (not the greatest choice...), if someone likes to sing along.
Down - Stone The Crow instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2016-04-23 | Another cover song that I wanted to update. They tend to play the song with distortion when playing live, so being a little different I made a cover of that rather than of the album version.
Hanoi Rocks - Fashion instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2016-04-12 | It has been a several years from the last version I made, so I wanted to update that cover to today's standards.

Ski Or Die Music Cover Snowboard Halfpipe/InnerTube Thrash/Downhill Blitz Ztrawberry 2016-02-17 | One of the great games of my childhood from the 90's.

Exodus - The Toxic Waltz instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2015-12-29 | The third track from the album "Fabulous Disaster". I grew very fond of the song, especially the chorus riff and couldn't find a similar cover in Youtube, so I wanted to give it a try.
Anouk - Nobodys Wife instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2015-09-23 | I just had a mood for recording something for a change and this time it fell on Anouk's hit song called Nobody's Wife. Basically the cover follows the original but I played it a little different.

Especially their music has had a great impact on me through all these years and I'm constantly listening to the themes and tunes of those Sierra classics. That's why I wanted to make a cover of theme of Shadows of Darkness which I consider the best of all. This is my tribute to Quest for Glory series and original composer Aubrey Hodges!
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Backwoods instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2015-05-08 | Since I began training the slapping bass technique I wanted to give this RHCP song a try. The bass track alone took several days because I got blisters for popping the strings. Btw there ain't too many covers of this song so here's at least a new one.
Queen - I Cant Live With You instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2015-04-14 | This song includes many great melodies that I wanted to play, and add something of my own here and there.

Pantera - Strength Beyond Strength/10s solo instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2015-02-08 | I replaced the mid section of Strength Beyond Strength by the solo of 10's, taking my favorite parts from both songs and mixing them together. I had played this five years ago and now decided to play it again with better sounds.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tell Me Baby instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2015-01-25 | There's also a vocal version listenable in my channel, but I uploaded this instrumental version if someone wanted to hear it also.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tell Me Baby cover Ztrawberry 2015-01-25 | Making this cover was a little bit different for me as usually. I started learning the slapping technique which took a while, and this time the cover includes vocals at last! A fellow called Giannis Konstantinidis gave his voice for this cover. Here's a link to his channel if you are interested: youtube.com/channel/UCdAJsM_VwMFLZ8mxUs_3mFQ
Howard Blake/Nightwish - Walking In The Air (The Snowman) instrumental cover Ztrawberry 2014-12-21 | I made a cover of this classic song five years ago, and I thought that maybe I could top that version when there's better equipment to work with. It's based mostly on the Nightwish's version but there's something of my own in it too. Happy Christmas! (The picture's not my making."
