Never entered a Song Contest before, pretty excited for this, good luck to all the entries of 2024!
All things considered, this is my first 'original' song, using purely my own riff style aside from 'What if' videos. This wasn't an easy task though. I end up feeling frustrated for almost two weeks with the riffs I started with. But I pushed through and created a track I never made before.

Finally, after many attempts to cover this song on drums, it's time to post a video on it. Been practicing drums for years, there's definitely gonna be more covers coming!
And the EAD10 drum mic goes hard in this mix, really impressive how one singular mic captures the whole drum kit! Also, that heavy bass was recorded by me :3

Had another song cooking for 3 months now. It was a challenging feat trying to record while I'm doing internship at the time lmao. Wanted to get this done on my birthday a few days ago, but it is what it is. I went all out with this project, having super varied tempo throughout the song and went out my way to write new riffs that would fit the RTL vibe. Needless to say, I think it was a good effort. Thanks for listening!
Special thanks to: - @GreenmiIe for providing the AI vocal script again! This video wouldn't have been possible without his insane works! - Semtex, for letting me use his sweet album cover design once again! - kirkhammettwannabe, you know who you are. Thank you so much for supporting my work throughout the years! I was able to push through my writer's block and finish this piece in due time!

This project, a rendition of Megadeth's 'Holy Wars' in the style of Metallica's 'And Justice For All', is perhaps the best-mixed and mastered work I've ever created to date. During the process, I explored new techniques, departing from heavy EQ matching that I'd used in previous 'What If' projects. The outcome is a track, I feel, that's fresh and unique in its own way.
Throughout the song, I've hidden various 'AJFA' Easter eggs for you to discover, and maybe a little classical lick too. see if you can spot them all!

TL:DR, channel demonetised. Sad, lift rock. strong, make videos.

Many things will be posted there after the next What If gets released this week patreon.com/BryceBarillaJoey Jordisons Drum Solo In Roadrunner United Studio | 4K 50FPS (Reupload)Bryce Barilla2023-07-27 | Regarding the removal of the original 4k uploads on my channel a few months ago, I want to clarify that my YouTube monetization was unexpectedly revoked due to 'Reused Content'. I took action by deleting a significant portion of my own content, including the 4K videos, hoping to resolve the issue.
However, my channel's monetization approval was rejected. After careful consideration, I've realized that the 4k videos were not the main reason for the monetization issue. As a result, I have decided to re-upload the deleted videos, knowing they were not the main cause of the challenges.
And yes, rest in peace to the legendary Joey Jordison. His contributions to the world of music and his impact on the metal genre will never be forgotten. May his legacy continue to inspire musicians and fans alike.

Big ups' to my guy Alexey. Man's been helping me out since day one of this project on mixing tips and troubleshooting this to perfection. Couldn't have done this without you man \m/
Was never really good at using photoshop or premiere pro myself, so the level of video production is rock bottom. Have a good day c:What if Trapped Under Ice was on ...And Justice for All? (Revisited) | Metallica Album CrossoversBryce Barilla2022-01-30 | Yeap, we're revisiting this rework. I felt that the first version was very undone in terms of mixing and reworking. So hey, why not make it right this time? Guitars and Bass are recorded by yours truly, drums are programmed by me and vocals? I have no idea where I found the isolated track. The video got deleted perhaps.
Apologies for taking so long on this project. I'm pretty lazy nowadays lol.
Ayo, huge thanks again to Semtex for making this sick album cover: youtube.com/channel/UC_NGQLiE0ZxE5FrPxvDeEMwMaster of Puppets 35th Anniversary | Metallicas Master of MedleysBryce Barilla2021-03-03 | Yeap, here it is. Covered the full album in under 10 mins, pretty cool stuff. This was a pretty cool collab with the boys. Had a lot of fun writing down this medley's structure, tracking all the guitars, as well as mixing this whole masterpiece together, all done in less than 2 WEEKS! Pogchamp.
I've done an interview with the famous Two Cents Man right here!

Better video quality, better songwriting, better everything. I think the mixing in this song sounds great as well! Not too muddy, and not too bassy. Writing the riffs and keeping them in a vault instead of doing everything on the spot worked out a lot better than I expected since I'm not lifting too much of the original riffs.
Huge thanks to Ematio for making the animated album cover! He really kicked the nuts in this one, as well as Semtex for making the thumbnail.

Everything else before this video, CHUCK IT IN THE BIN! I've decided to take this time to actually mix my music well, not just placing everything together hoping it would sound good. Even had a good friend of mine to help me out a bit to give some advice in mixing (only a bit, I promise :D). This bass btw is amazing AF. Enjoy!

But Its in the Major KeyBryce Barilla2020-09-07 | Ever wondered how And Justice for All would sound like if it was for kids? Well, here you go. Your children would be sleeping by now.
All of the songs in AJFA are featured in here but are in short clips instead. Should be enough to give you an idea on how the whole album would sound like in the major key. The instruments are made by me ('cause it's only two instruments...). The drums were programmed and the guitars were recorded in layers.
I was planning to record video tracks of me playing the guitar but I recorded this whole thing during my exam period, which took a lot of time so I had to drop that Idea. See you guys again in the next life or something.
