The theme of it is something that started out as a positive, good idea, but went really wrong somewhere along the way, became a dangerous obsession and ended very badly.I'm very excited to have Ryan Van Poederooyen program the drums on this one too. I'm a huge fan of his work for Imonolith and the Devin Townsend Band, and hearing his interpretation for something I made is just something else.The video was professionally filmed by MenahemD. He is an awesome creative mind and his vision and ideas were able to make the video aspect of this track better than I could have thought.***This is a remake of a demo I originally released in 2014, if you are curious to hear how that one sounded you can find it here:youtube.com/watch?v=5zfPxx1SQp8***Instagraminstagram.com/valentinthemadYou can listen to the rest of the tracks from my solo project on this playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ***Equipment used in this track:Gibson Flying V guitarTraben Neo bassApollo Twin DuoAmplitube 4:Mesa Boogie expansion - rhythm and lead guitarsAmplitube SVX expansion - bass EZDrummer 2 Metalheads expansion - drum soundsEZMix 2 was used on the master busFilming gear:Sony a7iiCanon G15Canon L 17-40mm f/4Canon STM 50mm f/1.8Canon L 80-200mm f/2.8Industar/FED 50mm f/3.5
War Pigs intro (with real air-raid siren in the background) Valentin The Mad 2021-12-16 | A cover of the intro of War Pigs by Black Sabbath, with a real air-raid siren in the background.I live in Haifa, Israel. Without getting into the politics - war is a thing that happens here, and so the army and authorities did a drill earlier today with an air raid siren, the kind of one you would hear in the case of a real attack too. So I did the only reasonable thing you can do - use the opportunity to cover the War Pigs intro on bass.I was pretty anxious before this recording since you don't have too much opportunity for retakes, but I think it came out OK.Hope you enjoy this. Peace and love, hope air raid sirens remain only a drill.***Check out more music here on the channel:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ

The idea was to write the kind of music that would make you want to get up, go out there, and get things doneUsually my tracks are solo releases in every sense of that term (with me doing the writing, production, drum programming, and the video), but that is not the case here. The drums were programmed by Ryan Van Poederooyen (drummer of Imonolith, ex-long time drummer of Devin Townsend). Ryan is one of my absolute favorite drummers and his work here just blew me away. If you're familiar with his drumming style you'll definitely recognize it here, and for me it's a huge honor to hear his interpretation and drumming on something I wrote.And the video was professionally filmed by MenahemD, with Almog Davidov joining us for some shots of skateboarding. ***Twittertwitter.com/ValentinTheMadInstagraminstagram.com/valentinthemadYou can listen to the rest of the tracks from my solo project on this playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ***Equipment used in this track:Gibson Flying V guitarTraben Neo bassApollo Twin DuoAmplitube 4:Mesa Boogie expansion - rhythm and lead guitarsAmplitube SVX expansion - bass EZDrummer 2 Metalheads expansion - drum soundsEZMix 2 was used on the master busFilming gear:Sony a7iiCanon G15Canon L 17-40mm f/4Canon STM 50mm f/1.8Canon L 80-200mm f/2.8Industar/FED 50mm f/3.5
Metallica - So What (S&M Style) Valentin The Mad 2020-10-21 | A fan version of So What in the style of S&M.Original song by Anti-Nowhere LeagueBased on Metallica's live performance of the song in Cunning Stunts DVDOrchestra footage taken from S&M (1999)Orchestration by Valentin The MadInspired by Metallica's shows with the San Francisco Orchestra in S&M 1 and 2.***Other projects of mine include a death metal song with wild boars (recorded in my city) doing the vocals:youtube.com/watch?v=B-C8jdXIG5AAnd a solo project of instrumental guitar-centered music (ranging from soft rock to heavy-thrash metal). Metallica is the reason I started playing music in the first place, and they're a major influence for my writing as well:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbtKRCBYON1Tw541_5Kd5Ukl***How it came to be:In anticipation of S&M 2 I came across the documentary of the first show on Youtube. At one point, Michael Kamen (the conductor of the symphony) joked with the members of Metallica about the possibility of playing So What in S&M.I thought that could be really cool, and some time later I decided to just do it myself.A big plus while making it was the fact that the Cunning Stunts DVD comes with a 5.1 channel surround sound option. There's a channel that includes only the vocals, drums and bass, and 2 channels that mainly include the guitars. That helped a lot with the mix.***Spotify:open.spotify.com/artist/18Y2WqlMKnfRKdzkVKOaZRFacebook facebook.com/valentinthemad Twittertwitter.com/ValentinTheMadInstagraminstagram.com/valentinthemad

As far as I remember wild hogs were always present in the city, but in recent years there has been a massive increase in their population. In some neighborhoods seeing them became a daily occurrence.One day I encountered a family of hogs in the middle of the day on a busy street. I took out my phone and recorded a short video (the one you see at the start). Later that day I was listening to a brutal death metal album, and at the same time I had the hog video playing. There was a very notable similarity between the deep vocals in that album and the voice of the hog in the video, which led to this idea.I borrowed my friend's B tuned guitar and in the following weeks I was walking around town late evenings and nights with my camera and a handheld recorder, sampling and filming the local pigs. So yes, all the vocals you hear in the song are autotuned street hogs from my city.***Facebook facebook.com/valentinthemad Twittertwitter.com/ValentinTheMadInstagraminstagram.com/valentinthemadWhen I'm not stalking wild pigs, I have a project of instrumental guitar-centered music, with the genres ranging from soft rock to heavy-thrash metal.

The idea was to revisit the track, re-record everything from scratch, flesh the ideas out, but keep the spirit and the vibe of the original. And now, after much work of recording, mixing and experimenting, I'm really happy to finally have it out.Musically, as the shirt suggests, Megadeth was the biggest influence.The demo is most commonly known for being used in the intro of the review and discussion videos on my gaming channel "Random Madness", where it was heard over 4 million times in the various videos.As for the video - I was in the final stages of working on the track when the whole crisis started breaking out. When the time came to film, my country was in the middle of the lockdown with strict movement restrictions, so I decided to film the video on an improvised set on my roof.

Valentin The Mad - In Memory (Melodic Metal Instrumental) Valentin The Mad 2018-08-20 | Listen on Spotify:open.spotify.com/album/3wlHZ8llYZ4mTQiKDQFcOZAn instrumental melodic metal track dedicated to the memory of Chester Bennington, the late frontman of Linkin Park.Parts of the track were written in the days following the news of his passing.Support the music and buy the track:valentinbk.bandcamp.com/track/in-memoryListen on Soundcloud:soundcloud.com/valentinthemad/in-memoryOn the creation of the track:I began working on it in June of 2017. I was experimenting with ideas, riffs, figuring out the arrangements. At one point I hit a writing block and went back to working on a different track (called Losing the Sense of Time, already released).A few weeks later came that Thursday when I heard the news of Chester's passing. It was a massive shock and it hit me hard. It felt a lot like losing someone I've known for years, and in a way it was that. Linkin Park is the band that reignited my love for rock music back in 2003, I've been listening to them non stop back then and the early albums have remained a significant part of my life's soundtrack throughout the years.Following the news of his passing and the massive amounts of Linkin Park I was listening to in those days I picked up my bass, went back to writing and the missing pieces of the track were filled. The music was emotional from the very start, but after that, it took an entirely different meaning.***Facebookfacebook.com/valentinthemadTweet me!twitter.com/ValentinTheMadInstagraminstagram.com/valentinthemadYou can listen to the rest of the tracks from my solo project on this playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ***Equipment used in this track:Gibson Flying V guitarTraben Neo bassApollo Twin DuoAmplitube 4 - rhythm and lead guitarsAmplitube SVX 2 expansion - bass Ignite Amps TSB-1 plugin was also used for the bass soundEZDrummer 2 - drum sounds

Insane motivation, heavy doubts, and sometimes just pure emptiness.Main musical inspirations: Metallica, Dream Theater (their self titled album was a pretty heavy inspiration for the first half of the track) and Pink FloydFacebookfacebook.com/valentinthemadTweet me!twitter.com/ValentinTheMadInstagraminstagram.com/valentinthemadYou can listen to the rest of the tracks from my solo project on this playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ

Valentin The Mad - When The Dust Settles (Prog Metal Instrumental in Arabian Style) Valentin The Mad 2014-11-22 | The track is available for sale at:valentinbk.bandcamp.com/track/when-the-dust-settlesCheck out my other solo tracks atyoutube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ&When The Dust Settles is a prog metal track in Arabian style from my solo project. It is a part 2 of Sandstorm, which is another track in the project.Listen to Sandstorm:youtube.com/watch?v=m8A_Ry4hisYMore on this track:When I was working on Sandstorm there was a point where it was way too short (around 2:30 mins) and felt incomplete, so I was looking to solve that.I thought about making a "proggy half" to it, which ended up being the first few riffs of When The Dust Settles. Eventually the solo section of Sandstorm got longer and I wrote an outro so I decided to split the two and keep developing the ideas to make it a track on its own.By September 2014 I had most of the track was written down and I started completing it. The work on the solos took much longer than I expect it, but I think it was worth it.Let me know what you think in the comments section, and share the video if you dig the music!Feel free to like my FB page: facebook.com/valentinthemadOr tweet me at: twitter.com/ValentinTheMadEquipment I used on this one:Guitar:Gibson Flying VAmptweaker TightRock Distortion PedalMXR Six Band EQ PedalTC Electronics Flashback for DelayBugera V5 AmpShure SM-58 microphone was used to record the guitarBass:Traben Neo bass guitarWarwick Blue Cab 30 ampAudio recorded using Edirol UA-25.Audio edited using Cubase 7 Elements.Guitar VST - Guitar Rig 4Drums VST - Addictive DrumsVideo recorded using Sony HDR-CX290EVideo edited in Vegas Movie Studio HD 13

Valentin The Mad - Never Peace Of Mind (Prog Rock Insturmental) Valentin The Mad 2014-04-07 | Support my music by buying this piece at:valentinbk.bandcamp.com/track/never-peace-of-mindCheck out my other solo tracks at youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ&Never Peace Of Mind is a prog rock instrumental with metal, alternative and hard rock influences written and recorded entirely by me. This video features the glorious return of "Cat Cam" first presented in my video for "Sandstorm". One important life lesson learned during the making - when a cat occupies a box it becomes their independent territory. Learn from my mistake, and dont invade it ;)The title is about me and peace of mind - a something that I dont get to feel much. I constantly feel the need to go forward, write the next piece, do the next show, make the next step towards the blurry destination I call "making it in music". And the only relief I get from this feeling is when Im actually taking that next step.Even when I relax, I always feel this turbulence inside me, and this feeling was the inspiration to the title and some parts of the music. And now that Im done with the writing, the recording and the video editing, Im thinking - whats next?Enjoy the video and share it with your friends if you dig the music!About the writing of Never Peace Of Mind:Its a piece I started working on shortly after finising my version to Lily Was Here. I came up with a few ideas, intending to do an alt-ambient rock piece (- to explore some unfamiliar territory), but ended up doing something entirely different once I came up with the main theme. The piece went through a crazy amount of changes from the initial idea to what you are hearing right now - from changing the time signature (from 4\4 to 3\4) to significant structure changes mid-recording and much more. But eventually Im happy with all of them, those changes are a really fun part of the writing process.Feel free to like my FB page: facebook.com/valentinthemadOr tweet me at: twitter.com/ValentinTheMadEquipment I used on this one:Lead Guitar:Gibson Flying VAmptweaker TightRock Distortion Pedal MXR Six Band EQ PedalTC Electronics Flashback for DelayBugera V5 AmpRhythms:American Fender Stratocaster DeluxeAmptweaker TightRock Distortion PedalMXR Six Band EQ PedalTC Electronics Flashback for DelayBugera V5 AmpShure SM-58 microphone was used to record the guitarsBass:Traben Neo bass guitarAudio recorded using Edirol UA-25.Audio edited using Cubase 7 Elements.

She Hates Me *2 guitars & vocal live cover* Valentin The Mad 2014-03-29 | This is a cover for She Hates Me (originally by Puddle of Mudd) I played with a friend (Vadim Oriadov) on my Live Guitar Madness show on 22.03.2014 at Urban Street Bar in Haifa.We didnt drift too far from the original on this one, but we added our touch.Visit Vadim`s Youtube channel:youtube.com/channel/UC86FofDSjyN9bOY7tN6k9TACheck out my originals:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD4A406DF298C779D&feature=mh_lolz
Lily Was Here (Valentin The Mad`s Guitar Rewrite) Valentin The Mad 2014-02-19 | You may enjoy my solo project of instrumental tracks in the styles of rock-prog-metal, you can listen to them at: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrDAPIq_KbvO_kfrm7XSLIhEZHKKduOZ&This is my all-guitar version of Lily Was Here by David A. Stewart and Candy Dulfer. I remember this piece being played in my home since I remember myself, so it was just a matter of time until I made my own version of it.About my version of the piece:The idea to make my version of Lily Was Here came to me an year ago (Feb 2013), I thought it has great potential so I started thinking of my vision , how I see my remake and playing around with ideas. I was experimenting on and off for about 10 months. By the time "Sandstorm" came out (early Jan 2014) I already had all of my ideas written down and all that was left is to practice the guitar solo to death, which I was doing for a month or so.My goal with the guitar rewrite was to make my version of the piece and not just another cover. To do it my way but still to stick to the amazing atmosphere of the original.As for the solos - I wanted to make 2 guitar solos, a distorted one that will be pretty shreddy, and generally the kind of solo you could expect from me. And a clean one which would be a complete contrast to the distorted one. Which is kind of what I did.Feel free to like my FB page: facebook.com/valentinthemadOr follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/ValentinTheMadEquipment I used on this one:Distorted guitar:Gibson Flying VAmptweaker TightRock Distortion PedalMXR Six Band EQTC Electronics Flashback Delay PedalClean guitar:American Fender Stratocaster DeluxeMXR Six Band EQTC Electronics Flashback Delay PedalElectro Harmonix EH-4600 Small Clone ChorusBass:Traben Neo (not running through any effect pedals, added a bit of reverb in Guitar Rig 4 though)Audio recorded using Edirol UA-25.Audio edited using Cubase 7 Elements.Guitar VST - Guitar Rig 4Drums VST - Addictive DrumsVideo recorded using Sony HDR-CX290EVideo edited in Vegas Movie Studio HD 11
No Doubt - Dont Speak *New Guitar Solo* Valentin The Mad 2014-02-10 | Check out my originals: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD4A406DF298C779D&feature=mh_lolzThis is a guitar solo I wrote for Dont Speak by No Doubt. Since there was no backing track for this song I didnt rewrite the acoustic solo the original song has, and instead solo`ed on the final chorus to the end. I dedicate this solo to Veronica, she is a good friend of mine, loves my music and is very supporting of my goals as a musician (you guys have no idea how important such support is) . So when I thought what should I do for her birthday, the answer was pretty obvious :DEnjoy the solo and let me know what you think!If you dig the concept and want to see more - I have a lot of those :Dhttp://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF895523328C65611&feature=mh_lolzEquipment I used on this vid:Gibson Flying VAmptweaker TightRock Distortion PedalMXR Six Band EQTC Electronics Flashback Delay PedalLike my FB page: facebook.com/valentinthemadFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/ValentinTheMadAudio recorded using Edirol UA-25.Audio edited using Cubase 7 Elements.Guitar VST - Guitar Rig 4Video recorded using Sony HDR-CX290EVideo edited in Vegas Movie Studio HD 13

I played the rhythms with a bit of overdrive and added my own solo. You will notice that the solo section is significantly louder than the rhythms. Unfortunately this is the only way the solo could be heard properly since this song doesnt has a guitar backing track with vocals.Guitar solo is at 03:30Enjoy the cover, let me know what you think and subscribe if you dig my style!Like my FB page: facebook.com/valentinthemadFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/ValentinTheMadEquipment I used on this one:Fender American Stratocaster DeluxeAmptweaker TightRock Distortion PedalMXR Six Band EQ PedalDunlop KH-95 Wah Pedal (Kirk Hammetts signature model)TC Electronics Flashback Delay PedalAudio recorded using Edirol UA-25Video Recorded using Sony CX 290EAudio edited in Steinberg Cubase 7 ElementsVideo edited in Sony Vegas Movie Studio 11
