This cover had so many road blocks it wasn't even funny, ranging from equipment suddenly dying, to high-priority projects at work. Nevertheless, it's here! I'm still amazed at how it turned out after everything that happened the 2nd half of 2024, and even managed to finish my first run through of P3R+EA.
Production engineering was updated yet again. Goes to show that we are ever evolving as we learn new ways and techniques to do things. Something I hadn't done before in a Persona cover was transpose the key of the song down (in this case, a half-step for this song) to match my range which tops out at a B4 on a normal day. Also, this marks the return of live-tracked bass guitar using my brand new Sterling Stingray Ray35PB. Definitely missed recording live bass guitar.
🎶 *LYRICS* 🎶
Leave me out
I don't want to fight
But if you insist
There will be consequences
It's like I'm getting stomped on my face while I'm down on the ground (though I)
Survived the worst but the worst is yet to come (and I)
Don't do this to me now I've gone numb (uh)
Do not make me
Already lost my keys
To the door wide shut
Only have one wish
Now it's never gonna come true
Trapped in time
Forever in remorse
How could I ever be
In peace when nothing else matters to me
Don't you make me do this (x2)
Don't you make me (x2)
Don't even try
What you want from me
Better stop pushing
'Cause I won't tolerate it
There's no returning no matter how much you want it (want it)
It burns me to the core of my body know it (know it)
Now is not the right time for anything so stop loading
Stay away from me
Already lost my keys
To the door wide shut
Only have one wish
Now it's never gonna come true
Trapped in time
Forever in remorse
How could I ever be
In peace when nothing else matters to me
If you want to battle, then I'll take it to the street
Win or defeat it's empty, gonna feel incomplete
Feeling half awake and half asleep
Would rather be asleep and dream the days of peace
Unbecoming, everything that I wanted to be
Someone tell me... what should I do next?
Already lost my keys
To the door wide shut
Only have one wish
Now it's never gonna come true
Trapped in time
Forever in remorse
How could I ever be
In peace when nothing else matters to me
Enjoy this fine cover :D

First P3R cover is here! For this one, I really concentrated only recreating what's necessary for this version of the song, instead of trying to add in every single element present in the original song; trying to add every single element made the arrangement less cohesive as a whole. Remember folks, a room less stuff feels like a larger room!
Trying to rap this one was certainly an ordeal and a half, and yes I had to resort to record line by line in separate takes. Lotus Juice's bar-spittin' speed really does come close or even rivals Busta Rhymes, while the speed I'm more comfortable with is much slower, probably because I come from an area where the predominant hip-hop sub-genre was Southern Hip-Hop/Crunk where they tend to have lower speed bars on average. Trying to annunciate "molecular" at 336 BPM took around 30 tries before I gave up and took the best one 😂😅💀
Anyhow, this is definitely one of my largest, most aggressive sounding productions. It's also, I think, one of my best vocal performances (the singing, at least) to date. And yes, the middle breakdown-ish section is the chorus to verse 2 riff performed at half tempo with some other stuff thrown in there to spice it up a bit.
🎶 *LYRICS* 🎶
It's those unintelligent monsters, ain't it?
What are they thinking? Please explain it
Don’t really need this crap, can't waste time
What I possess can’t copy and paste,
I'm doing it better
Never settling for another regular
Letter to my enemies, hey I'm telling ya
Breaking you down to the level of molecular -- (DEAR GOD THIS WORD)
Better be wise when you're choosing battles it's mostly babbles you know one of those big time shady foe foes ain’t worth fighting for
Drop these bars in my sleep, and a few more tricks up my sleeve
It's way too late for you to leave now
(get ready)
Disturbing the peace
Look into my eyes
Now tell me the things you blabbing about behind my back
The tenacity I hold, it is hard to break down
It's too late for apologies
It's going down now
You're thirsty for blood
Actually craving for love
What you only want is dub
Greed makes you go numb,
Purposefully blocking good thoughts
Hey please doctor doctor
He’s about to be that patient
Cause I’m about to knock him out cold
(bring him back please)
Whole lotta moves I make on you like dance floor and during this beat down you prolly wish that you can fast-forward (oh!)
Don’t you worry about it,
I'll save some room for your last words
After I do this, do that and the third
Disturbing the peace
Look into my eyes
Now tell me the things you blabbing about behind my back
The tenacity I hold, it is hard to break down
It's too late for apologies
It's going down
Some things may break me
But always get back up
New perspective gained
From all of the pain and stress
And when I do come back
I’m stronger than ever before so
Kneel down
Disturbing the peace
Look into my eyes
Now tell me the things you blabbing about behind my back
The tenacity I hold, it is hard to break down
It's too late for apologies
It's going down
IT'S GOING DOWN NOW!
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Note: Don't expect a double-header cover release week as a regular thing; I was in the mood, so I did the two P5T covers back to back in the same session.
This cover was a lot more fun to produce as I got to introduce my own sections and guitar solo, and the main riff is a lot more groove-oriented rather than Revolution's straight power chords. It's also my favorite of the normal (as opposed to boss and mini-boss) map themes.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Oh hey, it's some P5T material! I want to do a lot more stuff from this OST.
Not gonna lie, I have mixed feelings about the P5T soundtrack. On one hand, the ideas and themes were great. On the other hand, the production felt weirdly sparse, almost like Konishi and the Atlus team recorded 6 hours of demos and said " aight, should be good." Definitely a choice just to go with just a single guitar for rhythm. Nevertheless, some ear worm bangers on here with this being one of them.
I pretty much went very simple for this one, trying to show (in my general style), what a fully fleshed out arrangement and production might have sounded like (minus the metal sections and such). You may have noticed/heard it in my last cover before this one, but I started using a virtual bass guitar for bass guitar tracks. Reason? I wanted the sound of a Spector Euro 5 LX, but could not afford an actual Spector Euro 5 LX (that thing is, at best, $3k), and my poor Ibanez basses weren't up to the task. One day, I'll be able to afford a fleet of Spector basses 🙏🙏😭. Another change is that I started to tempo map the entire arrangement to the rhythm guitars. This makes it so even though the tempo isn't as steady, everything is in lock-sync with the rhythm guitars making for an ultra-tight, but not robotic, arrangement. Vocals were fun to perform on this one, and performing the guitar solo reminded me that even after 17 years of playing guitar, I still suck.
*LYRICS*
_VERSE 1_
Question for you right there
Do you honestly just not care?
I get the feeling that is
not the case, poker face
Everyone has the right to
Go and see the other side so-
Break down the barricade
Before it ends in pain
_PRE-CHORUS 1_
I know
You were not made
To follow
_CHORUS_
The revolution in your heart
Will guide your way
Will guide your way through the dark
Remember, only you can
Redefine your world to bring the
Dream alive. Light the flame
In your eyes
If you remain a soul unheard
What would they give?
What would they give in return?
If you are left to rot and
Crumble down into the dust then
Wave that flag!
We can drive them mad!
_VERSE 2_
Keep your head up high
It ain't gonna be an easy fight
Though you could even end up
With a scar, don't give up
Everything you wish for is
Closer than ever before so-
Don't have to be afraid
Design the next decade
_PRE-CHORUS 2_
'cause now
You can never be
Shot down
_[GUITAR SOLO]_
_BRIDGE_
Til now, you've not forgotten
Burning for change, but lost without vision
Nobody taught freedom, that's why we've come here
To lend you a hand and here on...
_CHORUS_
The revolution in your heart
Will guide your way
Will guide your way through the dark
Remember, only you can
Redefine your world to bring the
Dream alive. Light the flame
In your eyes
If you remain a soul unheard
What would they give?
What would they give in return?
If you are left to rot and
Crumble down into the dust then
Wave that flag!
We can drive them mad!
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Cover Notes/Commentary
Oh baby, the 6,666 subscriber special everyone's been waiting for! A huge thank you to every single one of you who liked, subscribed, commented, and shared my video over the years, especially the ones who've been huge supporters since I started doing video game covers all the way back in 2013.
This cover had been in the works for well over a year, almost around the same time I started work on the Boss Battle cover. I had no idea how to arrange it at the time since the transition from the intro to the main riff was so abrupt, it felt like two songs awkwardly spliced together.
Luckily both my younger brothers, both DJs, would blast EDM every time I'd visit home. This gave me an idea to attempt to make an EDM-inspired arrangement, not so much in the soundscape (though there was an attempt, my skills with a synth are, sadly, rather limited), but in the arrangement and flow, such as builds and drops. This turned out to be not only one of my most frustrating, but also most enjoyable covers to produce as it got me really out of my comfort zone.
The performances were intentionally gridded as to make a really industrial/robotic/electronic-feeling arrangement. The drums have a really dubstep-ish tone to them, meshing both natural and electronic tones, the electronics are equally meshed with the guitars, which took on a more sonic texture roll, rather than being very upfront and in your face. It's equally compressed and brick-walled as it is dynamic in the softer sections. The vocals were also drowned in effects to get rid of any naturalness. If Footsteps of Time and Counterfeit Phantom were my most challenging arrangements to date, the complexity of this arrangement ups those by a country mile. Fun fact: the amount of tracks bounced for mixing was 80.
Speaking of vocals, the lyrics were an insane effort to decode, and I'm still not confident I got it right. There's so much disagreement of which was the right version, I just went with what was mostly agreed on by people who attempted to figure it out. From what I've found, all of SMT3's "lyrics" were "quoted" (to what extent, no one knows) from the Book of Revelations, but they don't actually have direct interplay with the game's plot (I think Meguro-sensei said they sounded cool and intense, but I could be totally wrong with this. Let me know in the comments). I'll let you all battle it out in the comments, but an attempt was made and what's done is done (no, I did not read the entirety of the Book of Revelations to check):
[definitely wrong] Lyrics
I am the bug inside you (not too sure about this one)
I have you backed to the wall (not too sure about this one)
Strike with all plagues
Drink of the wine of the wrath of God
(War broke out in heaven)
I am the bug inside you (not too sure about this one)
(War broke out in heaven)
I have you backed to the wall (not too sure about this one)
(War broke out in heaven)
Strike with all plagues
Drink of the wine of the wrath of God
Fear (Fear)
Fear God and give glory to him
For the hour of his
Judgement has come to you
Now (Now)
When the thousand years have expired
Satan will be released
Judgement has come to you
For what it's worth, I thought my vocal performance was cool and intense, even if the lyrics were "wrong"? I dunno anymore.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

ACTIVATE STANK FACE 😖 😫 🤘
This cover is pretty much "P5S Kyoto Jail Theme, but Alter Bridge wrote it."
I would have gotten this cover done much earlier, buuuuuut I got distracted by this new game called Baldur's Gate 3 (which I somehow sunk ~280 hours into).
I've had the idea to cover this theme ever since the game came out, but it was only until I heard "Dead Among the Living" from the latest Alter Bridge album that the lightbulb went off in my head and the main riff was born. Did some rearranging of the parts to give it a verse, refrain/chorus, etc., as well as created a melody for the "chorus", and then added a sprawling mid-section. I did leave some stuff out since it messed with the flow. Also, this cover required soooo much programming. Also, this cover marks the return of that weird Drop G# tuning I used for my cover of "Unavoidable Battle."
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Weirdly enough, I hadn't planned on doing a cover of this song until someone brought it up, but here we are! Not gonna lie, I was forced to embrace vocal pitch correction for this one, probably the most difficult vocal performance to date. I penned some bars for the 2nd verse since the original just repeated the 1st verse (or we could just call it "the verse"; Lotus Juice-sama, hope I didn't let you down), as well as added an entire metal-ish middle section (as I would). Also, much less orchestral strings here than in the original since those were being covered by guitars, anyways. Speaking of guitars, SLAPP 🅱️ass returns!
This is the first production I used my new Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro headphones, EQ corrected with Sonnarworks Sound ID, throughout the entire mixing and mastering process, so should explain why the cover sounds quite a bit different than the others. Still learning the thing, lol.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

*LYRICS*
Been a little while but I'm still battling
Moving fast while you're just prattling
No time for me, no tangling
Hit you in the spot with no angle and
I'm not a princess
(A lot of anger in it)
Not a cutie girlfriend, oh no
Don't you know?
Flashy rhymes coated with spangles
Add some sounds in it, times wangles
Three dots connect to rectangles
Just like music sounds connect in rambles
You cannot run away
(Hell nah, no man can run away)
From me, I stay in your head as
One big threat
It's demolition
Wiping all out (wipe out)
I won't go (yeah, yeah)
Until it's over (once again)
Running around, and I'm still battling
Tearing about, and you're still struggling
No time for me, no tangling
Summon everything, everyone, anytime cuz
I'm not a princess
(A lot of anger in it)
Not a cutie girlfriend, oh no
Don't you know?
Pumping volume, the energy moves me
Embrace the darkness, the energy set free
Raise the hand, need no instruction
Pull the trigger, it's mass destruction
You cannot run away
(Hell nah, no man can run away)
From me, I stay in your head as
One big threat
It's demolition
Wiping all out (wipe out)
I won't go (yeah, yeah)
Until it's over (once again)
It's coalition
Pieces of wreckage
Come to me
And let it be one
WIPE OUT
It's demolition
Wiping all out (wipe out)
I won't go (yeah, yeah)
Until it's over (once again)
It's coalition
Pieces of wreckage (destruction)
Come to me (yeah, yeah)
And let it be one (wiping all out, it's mass destruction)

The promised rebooted cover on the promised day. That is all. Bring tissues.
A special thank you to my good friend @gillstudio for laying down some sick guitars all those years ago!
Subscribe to GillStudio: youtube.com/@gillstudio
And yes, everything was re-recorded aside the vocals and Gill's parts, which I chose to keep those since they were the only recorded parts of this cover to have survived several data moves. Some notable differences between this and the 2014/2015 reboot versions:
- Additional lead guitars were added
- A real acoustic guitar was used!
- Drums were entirely rewritten for a slightly different groove
Enjoy this fine cover :D

I don't remember who told me they wanted to hear a cover of "Danger Zone", but here we are. I sat on it for around 8-ish years since I had already covered Soul Phrase and felt a cover in my style would make the two kinda similar (they share the same theme, after all). But, I finally came around to the idea, and managed to work in another P3 song I've been trying for 8-ish years to get a working arrangement for, which was "Troubled". It clicked the moment I realized what I put together for some of my other medley-style covers ("Living with Determination/Light in Starless Sky", "Gentle Madman/Out of Kindness", "Yaldabaoth/Swear to My Bones/Our Beginning", etc.) would absolutely work if I threw these two songs together.
The single also includes just a "Danger Zone" version for anyone who wants to rock out at the gym (as I do), doing sports, or other activities that require loud, obnoxious noise.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Just in time for the P5R multi-platform release! It's the "I Believe" cover I did 2 years ago, but I was actually confident enough to do my own vocals after practicing for the past year. Also, better audio engineering. In the single, I've included this version, the guitar version, as well as just the backing instrumental.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

What is this? A cover of a video game IP that's not Persona? Oh, baby.
Little did anyone know, I've been recently working my way through the SMT3 remaster. The original was only a minute and a half, so I extended some stuff, added more stuff, and changed some stuff to make it more "arranged". I have no idea what genre this would fall under; it's like if groove metal, nu metal, and melodic death metal had a baby.
This is the first cover where I didn't tune my guitars to Drop Z flat, and it's still one of my heaviest productions, lol. Also, one of the most challenging and technically demanding riffs I ever wrote. And yes, I performed all vocals.
***LYRICS***
We'll sacrifice the son of heaven
Man's greatest glimpse of fire red
Oh, how they're lost in their prayers
They kneel for our greatest god
Let me sleep, please!
I am man, half-human
Beneath the heavens of blackened skies
Man's bleakest glimpse of humanity
Oh, how they kneel in desperation
Submitting to our greatest god
Let me sleep, please!
I am man, half-human
I am tired, as heart and person
My soul, forever weakened
On the name of God
I will not crack!
Can you hear them, God?
I will not crack!
Can you hear them scream?
Let me sleep, please!
I am man, half-human
I'm exhausted, as heart and person
My soul, forever weakened
On the name of God
I will not crack!
Can you hear them, God?
I will not crack!
I will not crack!

Well, I haven't posted anything in almost a year; totally blame writer's block and life events that happened that really took the wind out of producing. I did get really into Cities: Skylines for a good while, and really found just playing guitar and not recording to be a breath of fresh air; even started working my way through the SMT 3 remake. Well whatever the case, I've been working on some cool stuff in the most recent months, so get ready!
Decided to go old school with this cover and just do the instrumental without the melody (an "off-vocal" as the Japanese like to call it). It's got that damusicmahn-brand extended intro, groove metal stylings, blast beats, super down-tuned riffing, and all that good stuff. Anyone want to try to see if they can do Lyn justice? If enough interest, I'll let you guys know in a separate post if I'm taking submissions.
Also testing Final Cut Pro as my NLE, lol.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Would you like a heavy dungeon theme? Would you like it even heavier? No? I'm gonna give it to you, anyways :D
These were some of the most difficult lead guitar parts I hard to learn, as well as adapt to the lower tunings. The production was also very involved, sometimes forcing me to create sounds from nothing but sine wave generators. And good god the strings were the most tedious thing to produce.
Yes, I've been gone for 5 months due to work (and partly due to the tediousness of this cover's production process)... I don't expect it to get better. I'll try to make more content as often as I can, but such is life =\
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Oh yes, I'm revisiting this cover after 7 years after I first covered it in 2013 in celebration of 10 years on YouTube. What a time to be alive and still Burning My Bread. I have re-recorded and re-engineered everything taking all that I've learned in between the original cover and this one. The jazz parts are jazzier, the heavy parts are heavier, and the sonic landscape is much deeper. But most importantly, I can say my vocal abilities have jumped from then til now.
Somehow, I was able to coax a jazz sound out of a metal-based drum library... how 'bout that, lol.
Enough chit chat; enjoy this fine cover :D

Man, did this cover take so long to ever produce (started production on this one around the same time as the Gentle Madman cover). I just felt so... uninspired from the recent happenings of the world to actually channel any kind of inspiration into this production. But, it's here, and it's as grand as I could make it.
I would have loved to throw my voice in on this one, but Lyn just sang too high for me to hit some of those notes cleanly. So, my brand new guitar makes its debut appearance as the Lyn's voice. Anyone want to try throwing their vocals on it? If enough interest, I'll let you guys know in a separate post if I'm taking submissions.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

Another non-persona, even non-anime related song! This is my favorite song to perform from Mastodon, and when I saw Re:Zero for the first time back when it aired in 2016, I immediately thought of this song during the whale fight. What better way to showcase this cover than creating an AMV of the whale fight. It's the 4th ever AMV I've attempted.
I had recorded this cover and edited this AMV over 3 years ago, but wasn't satisfied with the how the production sounded. Plugin Alliance and GGD saved the day, once again! There are minor differences between this cover and the original, mainly that it's transposed down a half-step to better suit my voice, as well as re-writing some of the bass parts to take advantage of 5 strings, and actually using a tempo map, lol. This is also the second cover I've done where my vocals are dirty all the way through.
Disclaimer: I don't aim to sound like Troy, and I never will sound like Troy. Take that as you will :)
Second Disclaimer: I still think Rem is best girl
Enjoy this fine cover and AMV :D

Ayyyyy... another P5R cover with my vocals on it! This one was a little tougher to sing as it's a little higher in at the top end of my range, and don't get me started on the ending cadenza; Lyn hit some notes out of my own range that I gave up and did my own cadenza (...don't flame me too hard for it). Other than the Mike Portnoy-inspired drum intro and the ripping guitar solo, not much really changed for this cover.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

This was a cover impacted by the human malware known as COVID-19. I had a full production music video planned back in February, but it's been infinitely delayed. So, a music video is in the works, but don't hold your breath for it to be released any time soon. Since Fire Force is now a thing, again, I figured it was a good opportunity to release this monster cover of a monster opening to a pretty dope series.
Now in preparation for the vocals, I immediately realized that I don't have Masato's range (dude regularly hits a C#5, whereas I can only hit a B4 on a good day). So, I made the decision to transpose this entire song down 2 whole steps. This put a logistical challenge for the other instruments since now the guitars and basses have to be tuned to Drop F# (the original was tuned to Drop A#, which is one of my preferred tunings), and finding the appropriate strings and tone for it. But the end result, at least to me, is a darker, meaner take on the song. The other major challenge was figuring out how to cover not one, but TWO vocalists, as this song features Ryo from Crystal Lake (also a really good metalcore band). The two screaming styles were radically different, with Masato preferring the fry, and Ryo preferring a roar/growl-ish technique. I figured I couldn't replicate either, so I sang it how I would fry/growl/roar at their respective parts.
This cover also got a "GGD-ing" from it's original incarnation, due to the time gained from the pandemic.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

I would have had this cover out last month, but I wasn't feeling all that inspired with the sound I was getting, especially with Superior Drummer 2, my drum software and library of choice for the past 8 years I was producing music. I decided to try out some alternatives and holy crap, instant game-changer. I'm definitely proud of what I've achieved as it's leaps and bound above what I've released so far. To be specific, I'm now using GetGood Drums, as well as Plugin Alliance, all decidedly less expensive than if I were to have upgraded to Superior Drummer 3
When I first heard this song, I immediately went "gotta give this the damusicmahn treatment..." and went in search of a female vocalist that would assist me. But, I soon realized that Lynn didn't hit her usual high notes, so I got the idea to take vocals on myself. Because of the groove-driven nature of the song, I decided it was time for another Lamb of God shout-out. I reference two LoG songs in here. Can anyone guess (the 2nd one is less obvious)?
Since this cover was so special in terms of progress, I decided to film myself performing the song in its entirety. I tried to see how far I could get with filming on just an iPhone 8 Plus and I think it looks decent, though the app I was using (Filmic Pro) made the footage a bit grainy for my tastes. The entire process was a learning experience, from camera settings (and how awkward it is on a phone) to lighting, and boy self-filming a multi-angle video is challenging. I think I had 7-10 angles on average per instrument.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

This track was interesting, to say the least; it made the palace a lot more melancholy and serene than it initially led on. This made for a lot of wiggle room for me to put my own spin on things, which included parts of Out of Kindness (played on the last two levels in the palace). I'm really proud of the two solos, especially the first one which was played fingerstyle.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

I didn't think that Persona 5 Royal could improve on the original game, but man were my expectations blown out of the water. My first run through of the game took around 206 hours and some change; that how much more content was thrown in (although, I was a lot more thorough on my activities this time around). One of my favorite tracks to come out of the expanded OST was this track, which is a heavier arrangement of the Velvet Room theme. As usual, I did my own "heavier" arrangement, with an original mid-section that will drop you to the floor. Also, I really ramped up my production style this time around.
Also, I will be testing releasing covers to Spotify, Apple Music, etc., so you all can listen to this awesome cover from anywhere. This means there will not be a download link available for the MP3.
Enjoy this fine cover :D

I'm not going to lie, DomeKano didn't deserve this good of an opening, and I liked DomeKano; it was so good, I immediately sought out the album the song was on and bought it and played on repeat for weeks. I knew I had to cover it, so I spent 6 months getting everything down to a T how I would have interpreted it. It was definitely a fun song to record, and I had a blast tracking bass on this one. I rewrote the guitar and bass parts for 7-string guitars and 5-string bass, so if you were to cover my version on one guitar, you would have to tune it to A E A D G B e, with a capo on the 2nd fret, or tune up to B F# B E A C# F#.

Creating and performing this arrangement drove me nuts for 2 months; I had no idea how to turn this song into my style, and the original was quite repetitive. But, I finally came around with an arrangement that I hope pleases you guys. This song made me a better bass player, and definitely the most difficult bass arrangement I've done in a while. On top of all that, I tried some new mixing techniques to give it a more organic feel.

This was my favorite palace theme from Persona 5, hands down. Since it was already perfect, I didn't do too many changes other than a more outro-like outro, a guitar solo in the middle, spiced up the drums, and reworked the bass part for 5 strings. It totally was a departure from my usual heavy, in-your-face style.

Well, it's certainly been a bit (like 6 months) since I've release anything Persona 5-related and I do apologize for that. I originally wanted to have this out by June, but it got pushed back... like waaaay back. There were several reasons for the delay. First, the 10th anniversary of Persona 4 was coming up, so I wanted to re-record two of my very first Persona covers to celebrate the game that got me into the franchise. Second, I started traveling a lot for work, and I mean up to 50% of the year. Third, I was moving homes and needed to get used to the new space before putting out anything official. Fourth, my collaborator and I had scheduling conflicts that prevented us from tracking for a while. All this cumulated into a 5-month delay on this project.
That being said, boy am I glad to see this cover finally get the "treatment." This is my 2nd favorite palace theme, and most certainly one of the catchiest dungeon themes in the Persona series. After first hearing the track in the game, I was really excited to turn this one from a funky tune to the raging funk rock monster this cover was. I've had the rock arrangement in my head for months before finally getting a chance to demo, write, and track it. My local collaborator Dylan Slattery is back at it again with some incredible lead work that took months and months of refining (partly due to the fact that I was away from the area for a long time). Oh, and this was the first time that a cover of mine had almost 75% slap-pop and spank bass. Toshiya from Dir En Grey is a huge inspiration of mine for bass guitar. There's also a lot of wah work on the guitars.
There are some key differences between the original theme and this cover:
- The lo-fi beginning to provide the build-up into the main riff
- Instead of being keyboard driven, it's guitar driven
- The groove changes in the back half of choruses
- There's a solo at the middle and at the end, the latter (and longer) of the two performed by Dylan Slattery
- The 3rd/last chorus was extended to match the first two choruses. I felt the original song prematurely ended
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this fine cover. I know Dylan and I had a blast making this one! :D
Tunings:
- Guitar = D Standard, Drop C, Eb Standard (Dylan Slattery)

It's been 10 years since Persona 4 was released! To commemorate the 10th anniversary game that started it all for this channel, I've decided to revisit this (and another) song... one of the first songs from the Persona series I've covered waaaay back in 2013. It was re-recored, remixed, and remastered from the ground up using the most current techniques I've learned. It will be available as an EP in the coming days with 1 other track, as well as instrumental and short edits of those tracks.
Some things that have changed between the original cover and this:
- Now with my vocals! (holy crap this song was difficult to sing)
- Higher-quality gear
- Larger and tighter production
- An updated intro
And with that, I want to thank each and every one of you who had continuously listened and supported to my work from day 1; without each and every one of your support, I think I would have quit making these covers a long time ago.
Also another first for this channel, I've decided to make this song available for purchase on online retailers such as iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play, as well as streaming on sites such as Spotify and Pandora. I will also be releasing them under my moniker: damus1cmahn. As a result, this song (or the EP that this song is included in) will not be available for download.
Hope you all enjoy this fine cover :D

Serious question: Should I make these covers available on all digital platforms (iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, etc.)? Doing this will have me remove the free download links from the videos as they are released. Let me know in the comments below, or in the poll in the video!
Yeah that's right, I combined two full songs into one cover, the entirety of Awakening and Will Power... and it took a lot of will power, lol. I swear these two were meant to be one song, but conveniently split into two. Also, the string theatrics were turned down in favor of guitars. The only serious change between the original and this cover were the groove in certain sections, especially the beginning where I quadrupled the tempo and implemented machine gun double kick drums. But other than that, there really isn't all that much to add.
Enjoy this fine cover!

This cover started pre-production back in October alongside Rivers in the Desert, and like Rivers, got put off. But, that allowed some ideas to mature into the cover that you are currently listening to. It's one of the most groovy/swing covers I've ever done. I think you can really feel the emotions throughout this one. The arrangment is almost like the original, but with a few sections added in... and the whole genre-switch thing that I got going on.
Production/engineering-wise, I decided I would test out a new method of mixing... on a fully emulated Solid State Logic 9080J mixing console in my mixing software. I think the results came out great! Also, this song was automation city... never before had I had to deal with such a dynamic arrangement.
Enjoy this fine cover!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything up. There were several reasons for this, namely work. I also had acquired some new studio gear that I needed to get acclimated to before putting out something official. That being said, I've worked on 4-5 different projects while taking a small break from the Persona 5 Cover Series, some which you will be seeing within the next month or so after this one.
That being said, this was definitely one of my best produced and engineered covers I've ever done, thanks to my new studio monitors and some new plugins from Waves I got. They really helped bring out the detail in the mixes and made the soundscape bigger and three-dimensional. The drums are the best sounds I've ever gotten and I feel like I've gotten the bass right. Truly a milestone cover for me.
As for the cover itself, I decided to do the vocal lines the same as I did with Life Will Change. There was just too short of a period between doing this cover and when I wanted to release it, while trying to find a vocalist capable of a clean, lively performance under a VERY tight schedule, while also being a fan of the song and series. I am, however, open to the possibility of choosing a collaborator to sing all of the vocals for this series after the instrumentals have been released. This way, the vocals can remain consistent throughout the "album," as there was only one vocalist for this series in real life. Details to follow once I have released all of the covers I plan to do for this series! :D
Other than that, the structure had slight changes from the original to include guitar solos and to add variation to the feel and tempo of the song.
Enjoy this fine cover!

Oh, yes. This was one of the most badass covers I've ever done, and another collaboration effort to boot! It was also one of the most complex, heaviest mid-sections I've ever written for a cover. I'd say this is my best-engineered productions so far and set the bar high for future projects.
Yup, this was a true "Extended Cover." Immediately you'll notice that the intro changed quite a bit, much like with the "Unavoidable Battle" and "F.O.E." covers, for pure head-banging awesomeness. Much remained unchanged until after the first chorus (it's pretty much the original arrangement with a hella lot more guitars thrown in), which see the main riff take a Mastodon-esque groove (odd time signature riffs with solo drum fills). Then it dives into the breakdown and buildup... only into the most Lamb-of-God-esque drops to ever exist in any of my covers. From there, it goes into the two-part solo, the first of which is mine and the second which features Dylan. Immediately afterwards, you'll hear a 2nd song we've decided to add in: "Swear to my Bones," followed by a retread of the chorus and then mashed up parts of "Our Beginning." Both songs revolved around the same theme, so we had to add it in. This trully was an astronomically-sized cover.
Also, this was the first time I had a chance to work with a collaborator local to me, which kept the production really tight
Anyways, thanks for enjoying this fine cover :D

I'm back with another collaboration with gillstudio! Seriously, this cover turned out to be a beast of a song compared to the slow, somber original. Really, how did we turn something that only had piano, strings, and a couple of electronics into a grandiose rock instrumental that moves the masses? I'm still baffled at the product we created. But yeah, this is one of my favorite tracks from P5, possibly from the entire franchise; it's this game's "Reverie" and "Living with Determination." I WANT THIS SONG PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL... ahem.
Anyways, recording took place over a 2 month period where no less than 20 emails were shared between us, bouncing off ideas for arrangements and parts. It trully was a collaborative effort on both our parts. This also, to me, was the best sounding cover I've ever done, as well as one of the most impactful.
I also used in-game footage of specific cut scenes of sad/somber moments of the game to maximize the somber experience of the song; it trully was that special of a cover for us.
Hope you all enjoy this cover as much as we did. We certainly thought we've outdone ourselves from the "Memories of You" cover we last collaborated on! :)

I apologize for the long wait for this one. It took awhile to get all of the necessary software to pull this off and as I had mentioned before, my YouTube content is entirely self-funded without advertisement, donations, and/or endorsements. That said, I am open to creating a Patreon account, but I'm still trying to figure out the details to make it as impactful and meaningful while meeting the standards of well-done Patreon profiles.
But, I digress... so here, I went with a "heavier" version of the original song with extra custom bits of mine added for flavor. You may notice that the melody of the song is now present, but in a very different format. I wanted to try something a bit different this time instead of just doing a pure instrumental (I may do a version later with real vocals with a collaborator of my choosing. PM me if you're interested). What resulted was a quite similar, but not-so-quite similar cover of the Phantom Thieves theme song. Appropriate to this video, I would like to introduce the Phantom Thieves Rock Band! Like the Persona covers before, I have assigned band roles to the members of the Phantom Thieves based on their personality and what I think would fit best for each member. Here are the members!
- Vocals/3rd Guitar (live only): Haru Okumura
- Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals: Ann Takamaki
- Rhythm/Lead Guitar : Protagonist/Joker/Akira Kusuru/Ren Amamiya
- Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals: Makoto Niijima
- Drums: Ryuji Sakamoto
- Keyboards/Synthesizer: Yusuke Kitigawa
- Samples/Electronics/Synthesizer: Futaba Sakura
- Manager: Morgana
- Pancake Supplier: Goro Akechi
I also went in a different direction with the video. This time, I decided it was appropriate to show the animated cutscenes from the game, showcasing the Phantom Thieves. I only had about 10 minutes of useable clips, so I apologize for the reuse of several clips throughout the video.
But in any case, I hope you all enjoy this AMV-style of video for this cover! Stay tuned for more P5 covers, including one with gillstudio in the pipeline (his channel if you are interested: youtube.com/user/GillelandStudio)!

This was one of the heaviest Persona boss themes already, so I decided to up the heavy and bring it to Groove Metal territory. I think this should have been called "Persona 5 x Lamb of God," since I took a lot of inspiration from them for this cover, especially the song "Black Label" from which the drums originated from. I thought it was a pretty cool idea to take one of their heaviest songs and mash that up with this boss battle theme; it really was a cool fit. Of course, I had to make some alterations to the rhythm of the boss theme to fit it in the groove, as well as speed it up. I also extended the song to make it even more exciting. I guess I just birthed a new genre of metal: Industrial Groove Metal.

It's here... the start of the Persona 5 madness is here... that is all I have to say about this cover...
But anyhow, welcome to the Persona 5 OST Cover Series, where I cover a select batch of music from the official OST! I decided to start off with this rockin' mini-boss theme that was stuck in my head for days after finishing the game. It was a simple cover, designed to introduce this series with more complex arrangements for the following covers. I also took my new 7-string guitar for a spin :D
Be on the lookout for more Persona 5 covers the rest of the year! :D

This cover was really completed in June... and took 6 months to finish the video. We can attribute that to scheduling delays. But nonetheless, we finally have a finished product!
This opening is my favorite of the two, the other being a little too "normal" for me. I always look for openings that catch my ears, and this certainly caught it. I think Konomi Suzuki has a thing for rock songs, which I'm TOTALLY okay with.
This cover was very "normal," with a few things changed like guitar tones and the one section of the 2nd chorus that's half-time to give it more of a groove.
The video was a trip and a half! I bought a full tracksuit getup to bring the "Subaru" spirit to the video, and shooting commenced over two sessions. Post-production occurred over the next 6 months while we figured what direction we were going to go in. I've added a lot of nods to the Persona 4 series as well (if you couldn't tell by the presence of TVs). Oh, and flying white whales... you gotta have flying white whales.
Hope you enjoy this fine cover :D

This is the other Re:Zero song I wanted to cover. Nothing too much to say here other than the fact that I have added an extra intro and outro section which you all would enjoy, and that it's slightly heavier than the original, but still very much in its rock roots. I have also added some extra lead parts for some flourish, and probably one of my favorite guitar solos I've ever written.
What is interesting about this cover, however, was the process. The original song used a rather strange tuning, which required a device called a Capo on the first fret while tuned to Drop D on guitar. This provided a rather unique challenge as I didn't own one at the time of pre-production. I was trying to figure out a way to avoid using the capo and retain my signature style of down-tuning, but I ended up just buying one anyways as some of the arpeggios were impossible to play without one (I play a baritone guitar, so there was no way I was tuning up to Standard). So, I ended up using all three of my electric guitars in 4 different tunings to record this cover. More on that in the equipment section.
But all in all, I had got this done in the nic of time. Hope you all enjoy it!
Special thanks to Tim Nguyen for video production assistance!

This was BY FAR the most involved and complex project I've ever done, which was about 2 months in the making from start to finish. Every bit of it was thought out and purposefully placed to elevate the track. This is also the first instance where I have shortened the track instead of extending it like I did to other Persona covers. The original song was 8 minutes long and repeated parts multiple times, so I took the best of each part and put a very different spin on it. As such, this is the most changed Persona track from the original. It also holds the distinction of being the longest Persona cover I have ever done.
There are some heavy metal elements, some electronica, and definitely some progressive metal. I also experimented with polyrhythm, making a section of the song very "djenty" for those familiar with the term.
Drums were definitely way heavier than the original, as were the guitars and bass. I stripped some of the electronics out to give a little more breathing room to the drums and guitars. I also tried out a new guitar simulator that will knock you all back 30 feet. And, most importantly, this marked the debut of my brand-new PRS SE 277 Baritone guitar and my Ibanez SR500 bass guitar. More on that in the gear section!

This was most likely the heaviest anison cover I've ever done, and 2nd heaviest cover I have done overall. This also has the distinction of being the first anison cover to have the majority of the vocals screamed/growled... and one of the few metalcore anison covers out there.
Vocals were a BLAST to do. I took several queues from Randy Blythe from Lamb of God and decided I had to do this song screamed. This cover has everything from howls, screeches, death growls, yells, and pretty much anything I could throw at it. I'd say my "unclean vocals" have improved since my last OLDCODEX cover.
Other than that, not much had changed other than the addition of a massive breakdown and a guitar solo.
English Lyrics:
*Intro*
Every time I want a deal!
*Verse 1*
Just listen to voices scream inside my head!
The road forward's already chosen, so stand up!
Feel my pain, sorrow intermingling with my reality;
I learn the sins I crushed, and I still will ride!
Starving, spending nights with hunger, free-for-all. Part of the
Right to the right with integrity flowing a-way.
Screaming for love in depth, and judgement has passed, Sort of the
myth in life, connected to a mystery on the outside!
*Pre-Chorus*
Broken, I've not heard such a thing -
I thought I had control over darkness!
Vanishing, I've not heard such a thing...
Well, go straight down now-
deal?
*Chorus 1*
Every time I got a chance,
Said to me in the mirror, "Won't you come over here?"
I was even tested by this
flash of being alone...
Every time I lost my fame,
Talk to you in daylight, "What are you waiting for?"
Once you've overflowed this blocking
Pool of light, call yourself back again!
*Verse 2*
In my continually closed heart that's inside: Blue
Roses... just bloom, if you're ready; now's the time - with special grace!
Feel my heart... real, and filled with color; the fake was
Buried, so it's bear-ing those e-ter-nal sins here and now!
Spent a long time for the past,
Filled up with my flame of anger, you see?
We can't exist -
Those unfulfilled emotions still are going on and
on...
*Bridge*
Here's your future in which I had
Given you my hand of
Salvation... you've denied; meet your
End
Deal with! (x3)
Deal! WIIIIIIITH!
*Chorus 2*
Every time I got a chance,
Said to me in the mirror, "Won't you come over here?"
I was led along here by a sha-
Dow of righteous light...
Every time I lost my fame,
Talk to you in the daylight, "What are you waiting for?"
Erase your sins of light
Towards that dream, just be your own-
restart.
