Jyc Row | Jyc Row & Gabriel Borza - Nerath, Goddess of Nightmares (feat. Michael Gildner & Koa) [METAL COVER] @JycRow | Uploaded 11 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Heya everyone!

Happy Nightmare Night / Halloween 2023! :D

Been a while since a posted something as, once again and as always, life has been busy here outside of music BUT here's one of the two exclusive bonus songs that were on the "Infinite Eclipse: Prequel" CD sold at Galacon: the metal cover of Nerath's theme! :D
Now, I know I previously said I hesitated making a metal cover of that one as it wouldn't really fit the "vibe" of the Crystallized but... a lot of people wanted it and it wouldn't have been fair to Nerath if only Aqasha and the Molten got their metal version, so here we are!

For that cover, I once again was helped by the fantastic guitarist Gabriel Borza, who also programmed the drums! Plus, I worked a second time with Michael Gildner - who previously sang "Last Ramparts" almost two years ago - to cover the vocals here!
Though, I still kept some of Koa's great vocals in the background, as I thought it worked amazingly here as a "response" to Michael durinh some parts.

Gotta admit, I cannot decide which cover I prefer the most - Aqasha or Nerath? Feel free to let me know your favorite in the comments! :D
In any case, hope you'll enjoy this song and, again, have a happy spooky month! :3

Lyrics by Koa:

Inevitable
The conquer of our Queen formidable
Mare of crystal come
Command us but with just a whisper
And it shall be done

Rise, her crystal army, rise
Feel her power bringing us to life
Rise, her crystal army, rise
Until her kingdom cometh, may we fight
Fight!

Crystal goddess of the night, may we be
Vessels, bringing forth your might and victory
Maddening, her voice, how it rings, oh~
Crystal empress, we will be your tempest

Hear her whispered call
And into her madness you shall fall
Feel her icy chill
Soon you’ll find that you have no choice
But to do her will

Rise, her crystal army, rise
Give in to the darkness in your minds
Rise, her crystal army, rise
For shadow and for empire, they will die
Die!

Crystal goddess of the night, may we be
Vessels, bringing forth your might and victory
For the Queen, our voices ring, oh~
Crystal goddess, we will forge your fortress

Now…
Now…
Bow… down…
