Davester2296 | Gramoscope Music - Hellfire is Doom [Cover by DAR] @DAR-Davester2296 | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Another entry in the Subscriber Appreciation Event! Shoutout this time goes out to Rooster Gold over in The Den of DAR.
Also, I meant to have this out much sooner, but I wasn't feeling too great for the past several days. All's good now though, it was nothin' that good hot soup and sleep couldn't fix!
So I wound up taking quite a few liberties with this one, as the original had absolutely no lead guitar parts. For the guitars in the beginning, I wound up changing the left part to play a fifth higher than the original (since I thought it made things sound cooler).
Also, I wound up sampling the original drum loop in the interest of time, and plus I liked how the original loop sounded (however, I did fiddle around with EQ and compression on it). I did however beef up my kick and other drums. Tried out another new plugin that I haven't had the chance to properly test until now (quite happy with the results!).
I had to try and get back in a "metal" mindset for this one when doing leads. Dealing with these 3 power-chord type songs is tricky. While chug-chug-chugging on the first fret, bending, then chugging on the open string is really easy, the tricky part comes with playing something melodic over that. I wound up keeping things pretty simple with the leads. I threw in the rising and falling leads towards the end to add a bit more energy for that last stretch of the cover.
Other than that, I wound up making up a new part at 2:06. Rather than have the same riff repeat again, I decided to mix it up a little. Also, for the bass during that bit, I played up on the D-string which I think helped it stand out more, compared to the rest of the bass parts done an octave lower on the E-string.
Lastly, I had a bit of fun taking one of my favorite Sytrus synth presets and distorting it. I also couldn't resist the urge to throw in a TB-303-sounding synth as well. Its most prominent during the 2nd half of the first chorus. After that, I think it helps give a nice "bite" to the rhythm/bass section's sound.
Overall, I enjoyed working on this one, as it really made me think of something from back during the TNT marathon (not sure which specific songs, but it certainly has a bit of that vibe).
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover, and I hope you all look forward to the next! ~DAR
