I've wanted to do a Sonata Arctica cover for a LONG time and the time is finally here! For power metal covers I always need to pull in YouTube's finest to work with, so for this song I had the keytar kween Lacey Johnson handle all of the synth work (and she also joined me on backing vocals). I hope you enjoy our rendition of "Respect the Wilderness" and feel free to recommend other Sonata or power metal songs that I should cover. I'll be back soon with an original instrumental track and hopefully one more cover by the end of the year, so until then, thank you all for the continued support and stay Scary
