I Wrote a Ridiculous Christmas-Themed Metal Song... USING BAD AI-GENERATED LYRICS! Nate Willis 2024-12-25 | Hey guys, Merry Christmas!I really wanted to try to have SOME sort of special video out for Christmas, but I wasn't really sure what to do, until I came up with this video idea that I knew I'd be able to get out in time!To make a long story short, I was watching YouTube videos when I just... suddenly got the idea to have ChatGPT generate me some humorous Christmas-themed lyrics, in the style of a metal song, and the results it gave me were so bad that I thought it would be funny to write an actual metal song around them.In this video, I go over my process of actually writing the song (remember, just because I had AI generate some crappy lyrics for me doesn't mean it actually wrote the SONG. I still had to write all the actual music; vocal melodies, riffs, leads, chords, by myself, and record them myself. Plus I only did this as a silly challenge; if this was a more serious song that I planned on releasing on streaming, I'd be writing the lyrics MYSELF), and I then play the song for you at the end of the video.Here's a link to the main image I used for the lyric video section of this video, when the song plays:beautifultrouble.org/toolbox/tool/santa-claus-army(I think the image might have been AI generated, but I don't feel too bad for using it in this case because I just found it by searching "Santa Claus Army" in Google Images, looking for some sorta stock image, and this was one of the first things that popped up, and one of the only results that looked any good; I didn't make the image myself. Besides... It's literally just a random, silly image of some Santas.)-----Did you enjoy the song I made for this video? Do you happen to like Rock and Metalcore music? If so, feel free to check out my solo project, Fading Ashes, where I release other songs just like this one!

Reaching the Badlands, and a Sudden End... (ND Road Trip, Pt.7) | The Home Series 5 FINALE Nate Willis 2024-11-13 | Welcome to the Finale of the North Dakota Road Trip series... and also the Season Finale of Season 5 of The Home Series! In this episode, we leave Dickinson, and make our way into the Badlands. Although we got to see some genuinely cool sights at this point in the trip, we unfortunately ended up having to cut the trip short after this for reasons you'll find out about in the video.The footage in this series comes from a road trip my family and I went on through North Dakota last summer. It has taken me an extremely long time to finish editing through the footage (mostly because of health issues and procrastination), but finally, all of the footage from the trip has been compiled into a cohesive series of vlogs!THE PREVIOUS VLOG - youtube.com/watch?v=4Nicz6knxlg&t=25sTHE HOME SERIES S5 PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wShLZuESPga9nkHU-WYRlzMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=yP8Yn0NIH9o(I'd actually genuinely appreciate it if you'd watch this video, if you haven't already... It's a song with an accompanying music video and I worked really hard on it for the majority of October.)Enjoy the video!
Bury Me Alive - A Silent Hill 2 Song (OG+SH2Remake) | MUSIC VIDEO Nate Willis 2024-10-31 | This project has been like two months in the making!I started recording this song before the Silent Hill 2 Remake came out, with the intention of writing it based around the original game's plot, and then putting it out to coincide with the release of the remake, so that way, the lyrics of the song can apply to either version of the game, in case it would end up sucking like most people thought at the time. Luckily, the remake is out now (it has been for a little bit), and it turned out to be pretty good! So while the music video uses footage from the remake's gameplay and trailers, the song can still apply to the original game if you don't like the remake.This was originally gonna be a somewhat smaller project. I originally planned on having it out in early October, right after the release of the remake. However, while the song itself was ready by then, I hadn't even started filming the video yet (mostly because of people's schedules not lining up, among other things). Filming and editing the music video took a little bit of time, but luckily, it's completed now, and I'm mostly content with the final product!Unsurprisingly, this isn't a metal song. I decided to go with more of a post-grunge direction for this one (think bands like Daughtry), while trying to maintain a similar mood and energy to Akira Yamaoka's legendary compositions. I also recorded all the guitars myself this time, without using any MIDI guitar... Including the solo and lead guitars!Kinda proud of myself for that one.There's even a couple of references to the original game's theme song in there; see if you can pick them out! One of them is pretty obvious...-----Did you enjoy this song? Do you happen to like Rock and Metalcore music?

DINOSAUR MUSEUM! (ND Road Trip, Pt.6) | The Home Series 5 Nate Willis 2024-10-08 | In this installment of the North Dakota Road Trip miniseries (which is nearing its conclusion), we leave the Bismark/Mandan area and check out a dinosaur museum at our next stop! (And also check into a hotel that seems to have not much in the way of management...)The footage in this series comes from a road trip my family and I went on through North Dakota last summer. It has taken me an extremely long time to finish editing through the footage (mostly because of health issues and procrastination), but finally, all of the footage from the trip has been compiled into a cohesive series of vlogs!THE PREVIOUS VLOG - youtube.com/watch?v=tpyr4RTyy1YTHE HOME SERIES S5 PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wShLZuESPga9nkHU-WYRlzMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=ETxEHJy542c(Told you the next one after the previous episode would be something other than a vlog!

Citizen Soldier - Live Again (REACTION) | ITS TIME TO BREATHE AGAIN! (also this has early CS vibes) Nate Willis 2024-09-21 | I've got a couple of projects I'm focusing on at the moment (along with some personal stuff that's happening), but since Citizen Soldier just recently put out another new song, I thought I'd try to get back on top of doing Citizen Soldier reactions! As such, here's my reaction to their most recent song, Live Again!I'd sorta like to do a series of videos catching up on the other songs I missed, they've put out so far for their upcoming album, so let me know in the comments if any of you would be interested in seeing that! However, some of them will definitely be more review/analysis videos than traditional reactions, since I've already heard a couple of the songs.ORIGINAL VIDEO - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qT9P1QzGwD0Citizen Soldier's CHANNEL - https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC3JIDpjOFMKXObgctLRQb-AREACTION VIDEOS PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wGJFhaIa8G0-GBiw4vkT5SMY PREVIOUS REACTION - youtu.be/cw5PSAS9dXkMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/tpyr4RTyy1YEnjoy the video!

In this video, we stop at the Dakota Zoo and I head inside to check out the place and see some animals!The footage in this series comes from a road trip my family and I went on through North Dakota last summer.

2 Idiots Who Lack History Knowledge Go to a Train Museum! (ND Road Trip, Pt.4) | The Home Series 5 Nate Willis 2024-09-12 | So... Remember what I said in the description about the next video not being a vlog? I uh-- might've lied just a tiny bit...I've got a couple other projects I'm working on at the moment that need most of my attention (one of which is a song for a certain horror game remake that's coming out soon...), and as a result, I wasn't really able to record and edit something else. So um... Here's another road trip vlog!In this video, we head into Mandan and check out their Railroad Museum (which was actually really cool by the way, if you ever get the chance, I'd recommend it), and walk around, fascinated by all the old historical stuff in the museum, including the trains themselves. (And also we don't know much of anything about history or trains so... We are quite clueless.)The footage in this series comes from a road trip my family and I went on through North Dakota last summer.

Will Ryan/DAGames - Join the Bloodline (REVIEW/ANALYSIS) | WILLS HEAVIEST SONG? (I wasnt ready...) Nate Willis 2024-07-24 | So, after going a while without uploading, I finally found the motivation to do another video... And this is the one! I'm a bit late to the punch to this particular song, but since I haven't gotten around to covering any more of Will/DAGames' more recent music, I decided to cover it anyways.But instead of just doing a traditional reaction, I decided to do more of a reaction/review/analysis video! I did actually record an initial reaction to this song, but I was honestly so blown away by it that I wasn't quite able to put my thoughts into coherent words... Hence this video being made!ORIGINAL VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=lj565P1LjaMDAGames' CHANNEL - youtube.com/@dagamesWill's Solo CHANNEL (where this song and non-DAGames material are currently being released) - youtube.com/@WillRyanDAREACTION VIDEOS PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wGJFhaIa8G0-GBiw4vkT5SMY PREVIOUS REACTION - youtube.com/watch?v=KV6-Y9M1zY4MY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=smPbWFQJTHc(I'd actually really appreciate it if you'd watch this video; it's a song I put a lot of work into and it hasn't really gotten much attention at all...)Enjoy the video!
Scrape Away the Rust - A Portal Revolution Song | LYRIC VIDEO Nate Willis 2024-04-21 | Took me long enough!So, this song was recorded slightly after Portal Revolution came out; I played it right away and loved it, and knew I wanted to write a song inspired by it (I've always kinda wanted to do some music inspired by the Portal universe actually, since Portal 1 and 2 are both some of my childhood favorite games.)Unfortunately, my continuing health issues, which seem to keep coming back every time I think they're gone, killed most of my motivation and made completing the video take a while. I originally wanted to do something more elaborate for the lyric video, but I just ended up going with the simple one you see here. What can you do... :(I decided to go with a mix of rock and electronic music for this song, and like usual, the rhythm guitars were played and recorded by me using my real guitar, and the leads and guitar solo were done using Ample Metal Eclipse, a simulated digital MIDI guitar plug-in.(also I put a synth solo in the song which I thought was kinda neat)-----Did you enjoy this song?

(but not inspired by media) - youtube.com/@FadingAshes17?si=sq-jkcJCP5hfwDQs-----Unfortunately I cannot provide a link to download Portal Revolution because my channel is currently not verified, but if you'd like to play it yourself, just Google "Portal Revolution".

It's a self-titled album.)The album is also available on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and Pandora!I can't believe it's finally completed, honestly. There ABSOLUTELY WILL be more music in the future so stay tuned for that, but for now, enjoy the album!
Daughtry - Pieces (REACTION) | DAUGHTRYS CLASSIC SOUND BUT MODERNIZED? Nate Willis 2024-04-12 | I wanna quickly preface this by saying that this reaction video was recorded and edited before this song's music video came out (when I did the reaction, only the lyric video was out, and that's what I reacted to here.)Also, sorry that this was uploaded so late at night; I didn't get around to uploading it until now and the day I'll be waking up to is gonna be pretty busy (we're doing a late celebration of Josh's birthday), so I decided to just upload this now while I can.Anyways... yeah, there's a new Daughtry song out and it's great! If you like Daughtry's old post-grunge sound, you might like this more than you would've liked Artificial, since it's basically classic Daughtry but modernized.ORIGINAL VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=sP5C_fcM4FM&pp=ygUIZGF1Z2h0cnk%3DDaughtry's CHANNEL - youtube.com/channel/UC7wgNnLgvBeDW8LAxVwtpSAREACTION VIDEOS PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wGJFhaIa8G0-GBiw4vkT5SMY PREVIOUS REACTION - youtube.com/watch?v=Nev2fBh44Q4&t=37sMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=Nev2fBh44Q4&t=37s (Yeah, I know it's the same video but for the sake of consistency since I put this in all my descriptions...)Enjoy the video!

Nate Willis 2024-03-31 | I haven't been doing well for a little while now but since Citizen Soldier, DAGames, and Daughtry recently all put out songs, I decided to try and record some reactions (especially since I haven't done any in a little bit).

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New Album of Music Coming Soon! Nate Willis 2024-03-05 | IT'S ABOUT TIME--So after over a year of work writing, recording, collaborating with other musicians, and video editing, I have completed another full length album!Similarly to my debut album Through These Rough Years (which was released after I completed high school during the pandemic), it's an album consisting of rock and metal songs, however unlike THAT album, this album is actually... Good, believe it or not.It's a huge improvement over Through These Rough Years, and also has all real guitars this time.For details about the album itself, the songs in said album, tracklisting, lyric videos, and even where the album will be releasing, watch this video. I talk in-depth about it here.Here's to more albums in the future! (I hope at least)Enjoy the video!

Distortions of a Ruined Life - A Marble Hornets Song | LYRIC VIDEO Nate Willis 2023-12-26 | Hey, so... how do I even begin this description?This past month has been very rough for me; I've had a relapse of some health issues I was dealing with over a year ago, my Dad has been away from home for medical reasons, and of course there's always the stress of the holiday season.However, I finished recording this song back before I had my relapse, and as such, I decided to finally finish up the lyric video for it, and release it as sorta a late Christmas present for you guys!I've been a fan of Marble Hornets for a few years now (enough so that I made my own webseries inspired by it back in the summer of 2017; it was an embarrassingly and hilariously bad ripoff). However, I couldn't help but notice that nobody has really made any rock or metal songs inspired by the old webseries yet (or if someone has, I haven't seen it). So, similarly to how the show's concept was originally born, I decided to do it myself!As per usual, I used my actual guitar for the rhythm guitar parts, and used a realistic simulated guitar VST plugin (specifically Ample Metal Eclipse) for the leads and the guitar solo.This song has a lot of screaming parts, and since my attempts at screaming are pretty bad (and quite frankly, unsafe), I decided to enlist the help of an internet acquaintance of mine: Lee!He's a professional metal vocalist, and he's available on Fiverr for anybody who needs harsh vocals recorded on a budget!Lee did a really good job in this song, and I've also got some other material I recorded featuring him, so stay tuned for that, hopefully in the near future...Unfortunately, YouTube will not let me include a link to Lee's Fiverr page since my channel isn't currently verified as of when this is being written (I've literally tried to upload this video twice now with the link included, it will not let me...). Just go on Google and search something along the lines of "Egotherapie Lee Fiverr", and his Fiverr page should show up!WATCH MARBLE HORNETS (Seriously, it's one of the earliest examples of an internet webseries and it's still probably one of the best) - https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCACDEE1E71FC8E5EMY PREVIOUS SONG - youtu.be/jL9lpqCRqjgMUSIC PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6yj0vWXWosRN4GW7EIDKz2iMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/Pj-ufKG-RukEnjoy the song!
Minecraft: Forbidden Ant Farm Survival (Part 1) | THE BEGINNING OF THE END. Nate Willis 2023-11-04 | Welcome... to the dark, infested, and dangerous landscape that is the Forbidden Ant Farm! This is the final portion of the Ant Farm Survival trilogy, and let me tell you... this one is gonna be one of heck of a ride. This ant farm is not for the faint of heart, and honestly wouldn't be out of place in a Super Hostile map. It's unsafe, it's lifeless (with the exception of all the monsters who spawn in its darkness), and it's very challenging. But... well, I have a trilogy to finish, so let's dust ourselves off, patch up whatever damage the Extreme Ant Farm might have done to us, and head in.In this first episode, I walk you through how to get to the Forbidden Ant Farm if your map is broken like mine is, and then, arriving there, we get off to a... definitely interesting start.If you wish to download the Ant Farm Survival trilogy for yourself, or just wish to know anything about the map, the link is here:http://mgplatinium.com/antfarmBUY MINECRAFT - minecraft.net/en-usANT FARM TRILOGY PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6w0EF00rECmlTcKdx4nQrEcMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=g3FjzEhdk2o&t=96sEnjoy the video!
IRIS/DAGames - Draw the Line: RESURRECTION (REACTION) | CEASE THE WAR... AGAIN! Nate Willis 2023-11-03 | Soooooo... this is my first DAGames/Will Ryan/IRIS reaction in a while, and I have more musical knowledge now, better commentary, and somewhat less cringiness so... let's try to do better than my old DAGames reactions!Anyways, this is my reaction to the rerecording/remake of "Draw the Line", one of the songs from his first IRIS album, Heart of an Artist. Will is currently rerecording the entire album, and this is one of the tracks! And I gotta say, it's quite an improvement over the original in many ways (although the original was great too). If you wanna know my thoughts on the song in detail... well, watch the video I guess!(also yay to starting reactions to Will's music again with a banger, let's hope this video does it justice...)ORIGINAL VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=5y8AT2h04Q4DAGames' CHANNEL - youtube.com/channel/UCK7OXr0m5mnM1z9p7n_Bwfw?app=desktopWill's Solo CHANNEL (where this song and non-DAGames material are currently being released) - youtube.com/channel/UCyiG5WyK5n8reHTiaCnxy7A?app=desktopREACTION VIDEOS PLAYLIST - REACTION VIDEOS: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wGJFhaIa8G0-GBiw4vkT5SMY PREVIOUS REACTION - youtu.be/m5UR_72tr4EMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/wPuMX6H5Dn0Enjoy the video!
Minecraft: Return to Extreme Ant Farm Survival (FINALE) | FILLING THE SHRINE AND FINISHING THE MAP! Nate Willis 2023-10-21 | As you can tell by the title of the video, this is the final episode of Extreme Ant Farm Survival! I finally beat the map in this episode, making my way up to the final area of the map at the top of the Ant Cube, breaking the spawners, and putting the Dragon Egg where it belongs; the Shrine.Moving from this map to the Forbidden Ant Farm (the next and final Ant Farm in the trilogy) might not go 100% smoothly because of some issues I've been having with my computer (and the map itself), but I go into more detail about that in the video. I will however be at least attempting to start the Forbidden Ant Farm shortly after this video is uploaded (as mentioned in the previous episode's description, this video was prerecorded).Anyways, I wanna thank those of you who watched through until the end of this part of the Trilogy, and I look forward to continuing it.If you wish to download the Ant Farm Survival trilogy for yourself, or just wish to know anything about the map, the link is here:http://mgplatinium.com/antfarmBUY MINECRAFT - minecraft.net/en-usMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=cTFsXoyqFOEEnjoy the video!
Minecraft: Return to Extreme Ant Farm Survival (Part 14) | COMPLETING THE MEDAL ROOM! Nate Willis 2023-10-18 | Full disclosure: This video (and the remaining episodes of Extreme Ant Farm) were recorded a couple months ago. I've been... well, for lack of a better term, sick, over the last month or so, and I honestly all but forgot about them. But the rest of the series IS completed, and I'm gonna make sure the remaining episodes get released.

Heresy - A Blood Song | LYRIC VIDEO Nate Willis 2023-09-17 | I haven't been uploading as much recently because I've been burned out and also busy with my transitional school program and work... so I haven't really been focusing on making videos recently (plus I'm finishing up an album). But I decided to put this out, now that it's finally finished!Blood is a game that I have been playing recently and honestly, I really like it. The game is admittedly a little hard but the setting, tone, gameplay, and everything else make it worth it. As such, I decided to write this song!It's essentially a symphonic metal song, with a tiny bit of prog thrown in there as well. Not much in the way of screams in this one though. As per usual, I played and recorded the rhythm guitar parts using my actual real guitar, and used a convincing sounding midi guitar for the leads and solos.

Nate Willis 2023-09-09 | Welcome back to another Citizen Soldier reaction.This video is unfortunately gonna remain unedited because I wasn't feeling up to editing it when I initially recorded it (I have also since come down with a minor illness and I'm also focusing on something else at the moment.)This was a really solid track about the dark subject matter of religious trauma. As such, it goes to some very dark and interesting places, both musically and lyrically. Personally, it's another favorite for me, but let me know what you thought of the song.ORIGINAL VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=Bs7FqpD-qygCitizen Soldier's CHANNEL - youtube.com/@UC3JIDpjOFMKXObgctLRQb-A REACTION VIDEOS PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wGJFhaIa8G0-GBiw4vkT5SMY PREVIOUS REACTION - youtube.com/watch?v=2cXQM7e9pMIMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=oVnhoRP0vE0&t=87sEnjoy the video!
Minecraft: Return to Extreme Ant Farm Survival (Part 13) | RETURNING AND AQUIRING THE DRAGON EGG! Nate Willis 2023-08-19 | In this episode, I return to the Extreme Ant Farm after being gone for a while, and it turns out to be a smooth return as I manage to, relatively easily, beat one of the most important Hardcore Dungeons in the map...If you wish to download the Ant Farm Survival trilogy for yourself, or just wish to know anything about the map, the link is here:http://mgplatinium.com/antfarmBUY MINECRAFT - minecraft.net/en-usMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=2cXQM7e9pMIEnjoy the video!
Daughtry - Artificial (REACTION) | NEW DAUGHTRY... With a breakdown (kinda)??? Nate Willis 2023-08-13 | Soooo... this song dropped a couple days ago and being a Daughtry fan, I immediately stopped everything I was doing to film this. I'll admit it's pretty different from even the music in their previous album... and also different from their old post-grunge sound they're most known for. But it's still really good! And it's still rock; it's even got a solo AND a short breakdown! All it's missing is a solid riff honestly.ORIGINAL VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=RB-B9_yvMB4Daughtry's CHANNEL - youtube.com/channel/UC7wgNnLgvBeDW8LAxVwtpSA REACTION VIDEOS PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wGJFhaIa8G0-GBiw4vkT5S MY PREVIOUS REACTION - youtube.com/watch?v=j8SNQfqOnkQ MY PREVIOUS VIDEO - Uhhhh my previous video was that reaction so I've really got nothing I can put here...Enjoy the video!

Minecraft: Return to Extreme Ant Farm Survival (Part 11) | Nether Zone, ROUND TWO! Nate Willis 2023-07-27 | One thing I should quickly mention here that I forgot to mention fully, in detail, in the previous episode's description:This episode, along with the one before it and the next few episodes, were all prerecorded back in early June. I went on a short road trip slightly after recording them, and I initially intended to upload them during the trip, however I never got around to doing so.Since I'm currently in the process of editing the accompanying vlog footage from the trip, I'm uploading the prerecorded stuff now. It'll be a little bit of time before I sit down and record another new episode, since I'm busy with the trip footage, and some music projects right now.Don't worry though; once I am done with that stuff, I'll be starting to record new episodes of this again! You'll know when the new episodes start because I'll announce it the beginning of said new episode. I WILL complete this map.If you wish to download the Ant Farm Survival trilogy for yourself, or just wish to know anything about the map, the link is here:http://mgplatinium.com/antfarmBUY MINECRAFT - minecraft.net/en-usMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=exxg4NyMKMEEnjoy the video!
Citizen Soldier - Talk Me Down (REACTION) | Fun, heavy riffs and lyrics about a scary experience! Nate Willis 2023-07-23 | Hey, welcome back to another Citizen Soldier reaction. I recorded this video when this song first came out, but it took me a little bit to get around to editing it. But I already missed the last Citizen Soldier song, I'm not missing this one!Anyways, this song is another new favorite of mine from this upcoming album. It's got some bad*ss riffs (sorry, I don't know any other way of saying it... and censoring swears in text form always looks kinda silly so whoops) but it's also got tense verses and lyrics involving the act of contemplating suicide and having nobody there to stop you. Will you continue living on or not?

The Raven Age - Tears of Stone (REACTION) | PRETTY STRONG ALBUM CLOSER! Nate Willis 2023-07-16 | Today, I react to a song recently released by the criminally underrated band, The Raven Age! I discovered this band recently and I really like them, and as such, I wanted to react to one of their recent songs.The song is Tears of Stone, the closing track of their most recent album, Blood Omen (really good album by the way, GO LISTEN TO IT!) This definitely wasn't my favorite song in the album, but it was still a really good album closer!ORIGINAL VIDEO - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I2RrSpSa8zoThe Raven Age's CHANNEL - https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC_dPX-1nBKPAbwEh6YqdzYQ?feature=gws_kp_artist&feature=gws_kp_artistREACTION VIDEOS PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6wGJFhaIa8G0-GBiw4vkT5SMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/DevSDprPyiQEnjoy the video!

Nate Willis - Commence the Game (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO) Nate Willis 2023-06-17 | Surprise!Town of Stolen Faces recently hit a hundred views, and my cover of Madhouse by Citizen Soldier has performed alright (at least compared to how my covers usually perform), so I thought I'd give you guys this song!This song was mostly an experiment to see if I could manage to put together a good, competently-written, fun, heavy song in a couple weeks. Sure enough, I pulled it off and even managed to film performance footage for this lyric video!This is a metal song, so if you're not into that style of music then I understand if you don't like this song.I've recorded songs like this in the past on this channel but my recent songs that I've released that have performed alright were more rock driven than metal driven (and uh... my old metal songs were really bad anyways so it's time I had a better one on here...)Just gonna apologize in advance for my bad metal screams. I unfortunately didn't have time to find somebody else to record them so I did it myself...All of the rhythm guitar parts were recorded by me as per usual, however the solo this time, instead of using a simulated guitar VST instrument, is real! Special thanks to Aurélien Renucci for recording this really good guitar solo for me! His footage of him playing the solo is included in the video as well.Aurélien asked me to leave a link to his Instagram in the description of this video, so uh-- here it is: instagram.com/aurelien.renucci?igshid=MzNlNGNkZWQ4MgMY PREVIOUS SONG - youtu.be/_mV10A3nyFkMUSIC PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6yj0vWXWosRN4GW7EIDKz2iMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/aPsNk8mS8-gEnjoy the song!
Madhouse (Citizen Soldier Cover) | LYRIC VIDEO Nate Willis 2023-06-08 | Hey, it's been a minute. I've been busy with some personal stuff so I haven't been able to record many videos recently but this is a project I finally finished so... here it is!Citizen Soldier is one of my current favorite bands (you might be able to guess that from all the reactions I've been doing to their music), and one of my favorite songs from their recent album, Scarecrow, is this one! So, I decided to cover it. I'm not really confident that I did the song justice (especially with my mediocre singing ability) but I gave it my best!This is my first time including footage of me performing a song in a video (as you can tell from the admittedly pretty bad thumbnail... it was the best I could make with my current limitations) so feel free to let me know what you think of that.In order to make this cover, I learned the guitar parts from this song, and tried my best to recreate the other instruments as well (such as synths, pianos, and drums), with admittedly some slight changes to make them more original.The rhythm guitars in this cover were all recorded by me using real guitar, however some of the leads and the solo I added at the end were done using a simulated guitar VST instrument. All the guitar parts you see me playing in the video were actually recorded by me for real.ORIGINAL SONG - youtube.com/watch?v=yL1dWngIqyQ&pp=ygUYY2l0aXplbiBzb2xkaWVyIG1hZGhvdXNlCitizen Soldier's CHANNEL - youtube.com/@CitizenSoldierMUSIC PLAYLIST - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMW_Q0sfqB6yj0vWXWosRN4GW7EIDKz2iMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/phq9yJNQwpQEnjoy the cover!

Return of the Home Series! | The Home Series 5 Nate Willis 2023-05-16 | This isn't the most interesting of vlogs, but I just wanted to simply bring my vlogging series, the very poorly named Home Series, back.My cats get some screen time in it though so... that's kinda neat.
Minecraft: Return to Extreme Ant Farm Survival (Part 8) | COMBING THE MUSHROOM ZONE (+Frustration) Nate Willis 2023-05-16 | This episode took a couple tries to record but I went ahead and dealt with all the main stuff I was able to find in the Mushroom Zone. Specifically, that's mostly a couple of dungeons but there were some other things too...(Also this video has some mild raging in it too, like the previous one...)If you wish to download the Ant Farm Survival trilogy for yourself, or just wish to know anything about the map, the link is here:http://mgplatinium.com/antfarmBUY MINECRAFT - minecraft.net/en-usMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/Dj3iwtmsZoMEnjoy the video!
Reacting to Nik Nocturnal Making an Avenged Sevenfold Style Song! (yeah this came out of nowhere) Nate Willis 2023-05-05 | So I decided to react to something a bit different today. For those of you unaware, Nik Nocturnal is a guitar/metal YouTuber who I happen to be a fan of.Recently, he put out a video of him making an Avenged Sevenfold style song and being somebody who's an up-and-coming A7X fan, I decided to react to the video!ORIGINAL VIDEO - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0PbqKuhXBLo&pp=ygUNbmlrIG5vY3R1cm5hbA%3D%3DNik Nocturnal's CHANNEL - https://m.youtube.com/@NikNocturnalMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/mWWVy9fccl0Enjoy the video!

Reacting to an Old Joke Project I Made in Early High School... w/ Oliver (Part 1) Nate Willis 2023-04-29 | Years ago, in late middle school to early high school, I created a joke PowerPoint called 11 Ways to Destroy Your Car. It consisted of a series of comedic scenarios which would ultimately result in a car being destroyed in some way. I'll admit I got pretty creative with some of them.The whole thing is insanely stupid and bizarre and a couple months ago, I rediscovered the project (I luckily had archived it). Oliver and I decided to record a video where we react to and laugh at the old PowerPoint. I'd watch until the end, there are some very... interesting things that happen throughout the course of this thing.It's honestly a fever dream.IF YOU FOR SOME REASON WOULD LIKE TO DOWNLOAD THE POWERPOINT FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO FOR YOURSELF, HERE IT IS: docs.google.com/presentation/d/10qENL5MwOAnu1zPa-o_L2bBTM661NSaa/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=117601879079144158605&rtpof=true&sd=trueMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/_mV10A3nyFkEnjoy the video!
Fade Away - A Binding of Isaac Song | LYRIC VIDEO Nate Willis 2023-04-25 | So... this was unexpected, huh?I played Binding of Isaac on the channel once a while ago and while I'm not the most avid fan of the game, I've always had a deep appreciation for the actual story and plot of it.It's pretty well known that the backstory of Binding of Isaac is a sad, tragic story of abuse, domestic problems, and definitely some mental illness and even some bullying thrown in there as well.As a result, obviously I should probably put the usual warning here that this song heavily deals with those topics and if you're sensitive to them... well, please proceed with caution. I don't want to cause anybody any harm with these songs. I chose to have this song be... sort of a power ballad. It starts off with just a piano and my vocals, and builds as the song continues. I won't spoil much more than that though!BUY THE BINDING OF ISAAC - store.steampowered.com/app/250900/The_Binding_of_Isaac_Rebirth (If you want to play the original game instead of this version, you should be able to find it through a simple Google search.)MY PREVIOUS SONG - youtu.be/E7V3moecfAoMY PREVIOUS VIDEO - youtu.be/_cbXnb8N2gYEnjoy the song!
