A cover of "Misreant's Melody" from the video game Octopath Traveler 2.
It's been a while since I've done a cover, and also an Octopath cover at that, so here's my first one from the newest title!
I've been wanting to cover some Octopath 2 songs, and I think this was the first stand out track for me! It was very fitting in Osvald's chapter one, and I think it's a style I wasn't totally expecting, as it sounds pretty different from anything in the first game!
I had ideas come pretty quickly for this arrangement - like a lot of my covers of tracks in this style, I like to start of mellow and gradually had more heavier parts as it goes. I knew I definitely wanted a proggy clean riff in there. I also had a few riff ideas in mind I wanted to do, such as the clean tapping riff, some chugs, and some fun riffs that outline the interesting chords in the song. I also kept the guitars in standard tuning this time, as I wanted keep it in the original key, but 7 string guitar didn't work with the key and 8 string felt too much. But funnily enough, I think this still turned out relatively heavy given it's all on standard 6 string guitar!
This time around, I was fortunate enough to have Animalisa Keys and TripleBMusic lend their talents on this one, so massive thanks to them! Both are also big Octopath fans like myself, and thought this was the perfect cover to get both of them on, and both of their styles just fit perfectly with this song. So if you're not already familiar with their stuff, I'd definitely recommend checking out their channels down below!
