- Verse 1: Gaze upon our withered kingdom (Videte regnum nostrum aruit)
It was once home to gods (fuit quondam domum ad deos)
they were destoryed by our enemy: (caesi omnes ab uno hoste)
doom! (letum!)
This god killer was human (nostri interfector fuit humano)
With strength beyond any mortal (viribus ultra mortalem)
We stood no chance against them (non casus in prosper contra eum)
They brought our doom (Eduxit exitium)
Verse 2: Their battle started long ago. (Proelium pridem profectus est.)
Their battle started far away. (Proelium longius profectus est.)
Their battle is not over and it never will be (Non finitum proelium, non cessat.)
It never ends (non cessat)
Quick! now is the time to strike! Velox! Repugnandum est!
We are gathering our armies (Colligimus exercitus nostros)
We grow in numbers while they remains one (crescimus, manet unus)
Now we bring their doom (Nos eius exitio)
It never ends (non cessat)
Interlude: We fight for victory. (pugnamus pro vic)
We fight for the gods. (pugnamus pro diis)
We fight for demons Pug namus daemones.
We fight for hell (pugnamus inferno)
We fight for glory (pugnamus gloria)
we fight till death (pugnamus ad mortem)
End section chant: Vee na dom ma letum (x14) (Besides the word “letum” meaning doom or destruction, This line is nonsense and was made to fit the flow) -

- This was a giant project! This started as something I thought I could get done before dragonfly's birthday and turned into a project that scooped up 6 weeks of my life!
It all started with the release of 'EVI II RC6' which introduced "Annihilate Me" mode, which puts the player up against the coop/multiplayer mode alone. I'd already played through Evi II twice on Ultra Violence, but I thought "what the heck". I managed to crawl through the first chapter, dying many times along the way; This mode is no joke! Through all that though, it allowed me to re-appreciate Map 5: Departure, for me it is the most beautiful of Chapter 1's maps. The music for this map is spectacular to say the least. I had considered covering the track before, but I thought now I’d give it a shot!
So just so the Eviternity team knows, this cover exists because you guys updated the game!
For this project I wanted to focus on making my arrangement more original. One of the trappings that I had with the ‘Velocity’ cover is I was always looking at the original MIDI to see what I should play next. For this project I wanted to really focus on using my ears more, and coming up with my own parts to put in the arrangement. And I think for the most part I succeeded at this. I'm pretty happy with my original acoustic guitar solo. And I like how I've beefed up a lot of the Metal elements of the original song. Some of the leads in this song were crazy though, especially the legato 7/8 part; That part took me about a week to get up to speed.
Filming for this video was also a lot of fun! The Eviternity team recently put out Merch so it was cool to incorporate their designs into some outfits. Honestly the outfits are probably the one thing that kept me from going insane during filming. I don't know if you can tell but it's really claustrophobic in this room with all the lights and cables running everywhere. I would have gone insane if I wasn't wearing a mini skirt and ‘Eviternity II’ crop top.
Well, I think this description is long enough. Let me know what you thought in the comments ,and if there are any other Eviternity tracks you think I should cover.

This is the music I made for that .wad - BANDCAMP DOWNLOAD: dylzal.bandcamp.com/album/stanley
In retrospect, I honestly think this project was overly ambitious of the novelty of the wad's concept. Not partially proud of the fight that are in the wad and, I think it can be a little confusing on where to go. However I am proud of the music that I made for this wad though.
The reason I didn't make this video a year ago is because I was burned out from this .wad and didn't even want to look at it. Now a year later, looking back at it and the music I made for it is almost nostalgic.

This is a passion project that I've been working since February and I'm soo happy that it's finally out! I've been obsessed with Neil's work since Mouth Dreams came out last year, and I hope a project like this can bring more attention too his music and all his work.

Bo Burnham's Inside came out last month and I found it both comforting and confronting. I was deeply inspiring by it and haven't been able to recover since.
I got a bit experimental with this cover, I wanted the track to have that sense of Malaise and surrealness that's present in the original song, so I recorded everything at x1.33 speed and slowed everything back down afterwards. Not sure if you can even tell after mixing though. Anyway, let me know what you think :)

A couple of weeks ago I posted my touch tone telephone cover, and it seems I am still hungry for Lemon Demon covers. Spiral of Ants I thought seemed more like a filler track on first listen, but after further listens to the spirt phone album it's quickly became my favourite track. Went for more of a doom metal vibe in this cover, I think it seemed appropriate for the whole Spiral of Death idea. Let me know what you think, enjoy :)

Last October, Neil Cicierega put out his forth Mouth album and it reengaged my interest in his work. I finally got around to listening to 'Spirit Phone' and fell in love with the album. I just had to cover the some songs from it. I plan on making more Metal Lemon Demon covers, so please let me know which ones you want to hear me do.

I am a huge fan of Queen. I was always a fan of there music but after the 2018 movie I was absolutely hooked. I started listening to all their music, all their albums, watching all their music videos and all the off-stage/ in-studio stuff I could find. While I was listening to all of their music there was obviously a lot of songs I had heard before, big hit stuff like Bohemian Rhapsody. But there was also a lot of songs that I hadn't heard before. Weird songs. Songs like "Misfire", "Seaside Rendezvous", and the epic retelling of our lord and savior simply titled "Jesus". I found though the songs that stood out to me the most were the one's that made me wonder why they weren't more popular, perhaps that would ruin their charm; songs like "Lily of the Valley", "All Dead" and of course "Leaving home ain't easy".
This song off of the album 'Jazz' always stood out to me. I just love how well Brian can capture all the elements that are involved with leaving home; The mystery, the anxiety, the melancholy, the adventure and the excitement. Doing this cover really helped me move out without having a emotional breakdown, and also ensured me that moving out was the right thing to do.
I'm gonna be taking a small break for a few weeks just find my bearings, but I can assure you I'm going to be coming back in full swing. Moving out is only going to help me make bigger and better things. But for now, please let me know what you thought of this cover in the comments, and if you want me to do more Queen covers.

At the start of 2020 I joined a band with a few friends and it's been a wild ride. Not only was this my first time being a lead vocalist and lyricist, but working around COVID restrictions was a real challenge. But, some how we did it! and our debut release is finally out!
Lyrics: [Verse 1] There's a problem in this world left unsolved Problem hundreds years ago was resolved generations built on power, pain and hate Deadly forces that have sealed all our fates
They'll lie to your face, smile and say we're the same Then burn the world and say you're to blame
They've got you by the neck you haven't noticed They'll kill for a paycheck start with the slowest
[Verse 2] On our golden streets in cover of the night Men and women of colour are robbed of life Thugs and saints are all dressed up all the same We've raised a beast we don't know how to tame
More death everyday that we've start going numb They'll wait till we don't care, then resume their fun
Live to service and protect? A web of lies Demand you get respect? why don't you cry
[Bridge] Burn down their stores, their works, their home, their cars They'll miss the whole damn point viewing from afar
Ignorance is key (Ignorance) If we stay dumb and at peace (give me peace) We won't retaliate (miss the point) They won't stop their pain and hate.
Chorus (Variation) Screamin', Fightin', Dyin' Screamin', Fightin', Dyin' Screamin', Fightin', Dyin' Screamin', Fightin', Dyin'Last Christmas (Wham!) Doom Metal Cover | Dylan LeggettDee Leggett2020-12-24 | Just like last year here's another last minute Christmas cover. I literally only decided to start working on this last night, probably the first project I've started and finished in less then 24 hours. But regardless of that, hope you like it, and Merry Christmas!
This cover is going to be a Patreon exclusive at least for the time being. I may release it on music stores if there is enough interest in it.

When I first heard this song it was late at night I had been struggling to worm my way through the world of Xen for about 4 hours, I was weak, tired and low on ammo, but when this song came on it gave me the strength to push forward. It was a reminder that although the journey has been difficult I only need to go a little further. Black Mesa has been a part of my life for the past 6 years, it's been something that for the longest time has been left unfinished, but this song comes in to tell you that tonight's the night that it is finished, you only need to raise your crowbar one last time, better make it count.
Okay so I promise I'm not going to make a habit out of doing 'Half-Life' covers but I had planned to get this one done much closer to Questionable Ethics, but Life got the better of me and so it's coming out now. Covering this song was a blast! The whole thing has such a epic feeling that works perfectly in a metal style. Hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I did making it. Can't wait to hear what you think, and I will see you up ahead.

If you were wondering what the lyrics were to that choral part, here they are:
What have you done you all are thieves not you alone I am the last

I sure hope nothing bad happens...
This cover is going to be a Patreon exclusive at least for the time being. I may release it on music stores if there is enough interest in it.
Over 3 years ago I put out my Black Mesa Guitar Medley, and it is currently my most viewed video just hitting 100k as I am writing this. Since I put this video out I've gotten one complain about it, "Why no Questionable Ethics 1?!" Finally about 5 months ago I made a promise that when the 'Black Mesa Guitar Medley' hit 100k I'd make a full cover of Questionable Ethics 1. Someone replied saying I should hold up half-life's time honoured tradition of wearing a ridiculous tie, I 1up'd them saying I do a full Scientist cosplay, and that leads us up to today.
I had a lot of fun making this video in every aspect. Hopefully this won't be the last time I wear the scientist outfit as well. Let me know what you think in the comments, enjoy :)

Today is the 20th anniversary of my favourite game 'Banjo Tooie'. I think the most memorable parts of this game and the odd quirky characters, the Battle and the Boss battles with odd quirky characters. Grant like always was such a genius at making these battles feel important by making grand but dark versions for the level themes to be used as the Boss themes. The Boss theme arrangements work so well on there own that a lot of people prefer them over the originals. So today I present a medley of EVERY BOSS BATTLE THEME from Banjo Tooie. Enjoy.

Today we celebrate the game and story that came into our heart and never seemed to leaves (no matter how much we'd like it to at time) Please me and my friends in our rendition of 'Undertale'
This project was meant to something quick and easy that would only take me a day, but like everything I do, nothing ever goes to plan. This time it started with the simple decision to include a solo at the end of the arrangement, but it seems with every solo I do, I've got to prove something that everyone already know. So, a solo that could here easily be written and recorded in a couple of hours turned into two days of practice, but anyway it's done and it's not half bad.

This cover is a bit of a joke/bonus for the fear factory cover. I really don't know what to say about it. Please don't ask me to make a full version (or do😉). Enjoy I guess.
Original Composed by David Wise Arranged, Performed and Produced by Dylan Leggett (Myself)
So this cover of Fear Factory was original going to be a whole Donkey Kong Country Medley, but as I was figuring out the structure of that Medley I realised how much I just wanted each of the songs to be longer. So I decided it would be better to just do a full cover of one song. That song being Fear Factory.
I feel that Fear Factory is a song that simply doesn't get enough love when it comes to the DKC soundtrack. I think the reason for this is because it's heard much later in the game after so many other great tracks in the game. But if you ask me I honesty think it's one of the best tracks in the game. The way it combine Industrial musicial elements, with rock and the "Jungle" instruments that are in the the rest of the soundtrack is just marvellous. David Wise truly in a genius. So for this arrangement I wanted to have at least one repeat that stays true to the original song and it structure/arrangement, especially when it came to dynamics. I wanted the quite bits to actually feel quite.
Well anyway, hope you enjoyed this cover and let me know what you thought!

Editing Software Sony Vegas Pro 17The Sun Always Shines on T.V (a-ha) Power Metal Cover | Dylan LeggettDee Leggett2020-07-17 | The Sun Always Shines on T.V is better then Take on Me _______________________________________________________ Change My Mind
This is another one of those project I've been wanting to do for a long time, basically ever since I first heard the song. So I'm sure you're all aware of the song 'Take On Me' by a-ha, but did you know they are much more then a one hit wonder band. They actually have a large and long lasting discography and also one of the biggest bands in Europe. To be fair though, I've only heard their greatest hits album, but even that's quite good, I'd recommend it at least one listen.
So, as you can hear this song is big which is just how I like it! Even 'Take On Me' had a bunch of layers of production, but 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V' is even bigger. From the synths pads, to the rock guitar, the 80's drums and of course 'Morten Harket' soaring vocals. It's just how I like my music, dense, layered and dripping with emotions.
So of course arranging this was a lot of fun. Naturally that epic pop style of the original fit perfectly in the stylings of Power Metal. The double bass stuff in Chorus' naturally takes the part of the arp'd sythns in the original. Plus those Choir vocals fit right into the genre. All around a very fun arrangement. Please let me know what you think. Enjoy :)

Rainbow Road is probably one of the most well known video game songs ever, and for goof reason, it catchy, emotionally rich, and plays at the ends everyone's favourite date night game. I've had this cover sitting in the 'WIP' folder for about a year and a half, so it feels great to finally have this cover finally done. Looking forward to hearing what ya'll think of this one in the comments, enjoy!

I've actually had plans to do a cover of this song for a while, but the arrangement idea was completely different. I was originally thinking of doing this in a power metal style, at 160 BPM and rounding the 3/4 timing down to 2/4. Is other words, ruining the song as a joke. But I don't think that idea would of done well in the long run. I think it would be good for a quick laugh and a single viewing, and then would of stopped getting views 2 weeks in. So I'm very glad I decided not to go with that idea. I think what I've came up with is a lot more truer to the original piece.
The arrangement that I've come up with is a bit odd looking back at it now. I'm sure a lot of people will find the sudden change from choir to metal to be quite jarring. But I kinda think that's sort of my thing at this point, going from 2 intensity to 11, without a seconds notice. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. Enjoy!

Editing Software Sony Vegas Pro 17Speed - Life (A Metal Tribute to Half-Life Speedrunning) | Dylan LeggettDee Leggett2020-06-05 | All that speed and he's still late for work...
This cover is going to be a Patreon exclusive at least for the time being.
I may release it on music stores if there is enough interest in it.
- I came into the Half-Life fandom pretty late in '2014' but I've been hooked ever since. The world, environment and characters that these games create is so interesting and so addicting it's honestly shocking that I have played anything different since Half-Life. Something I've always in enjoyed watching are Half-Life Speedruns, the speed and movement that can be obtained in these games is unbelievable and honestly something to behold. One of first one I ever saw was 'Half-Life in 20:41'; at the time I had just made it up to 'Lamda Core' in game after a few days effort, so seeing this run was INSANE! Even over 6 years later it's still impressive to watch.
My addiction to Half-Life reached it peak in early 2016 and at the time I had plans to make a Medley for Half-Life, but I always had trouble arranging the music in a way that was both unique and entertaining. But recently I had an idea to make this arrangement interesting, and it's something that musician have been using to make novel musical ideas into great ideas - Speed. After that little epiphany, all the ideas started flowing, now we weren't just doing a Metal cover we were doing a Thrash Metal cover. And now after 4 years in development, I have made a Half-Life Metal Cover; Hopefully it was worth the wait.
So just for the record I don't consider this a medley, honestly I don't know what to consider it. So how about we just go with "A piece of music takes inspiration and references from the original HL1 soundtrack...mostly 'Nuclear Mission Jam'. So yeah that's why the title is so different from my regular format. Regardless of that hope you enjoyed this, and remember finishing Half-Life is just the beginning!

I'm a huge Doom Nerd, and have been wanting to cover this theme for about two years, but I've always put it off because I knew learning the tapping parts and getting my downpicking endurance up would be a pain. But now I've finally done it and I'm super happy with the result. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Planning on doing a bunch of Doom covers in the lead up to Doom Eternal, songs I definitely plan on doing are: - I Sawed the Demons (E2M1) - Deep Into the Code E3M3 - Running From Evil (Doom II) - Wormhole (Doom TNT) Let me know what other songs you would like me to do.
