Ash and Blood - DARK SOULS / BLOODBORNE ALBUM || OFFICIAL STREAM

[@RichaadEB]

despite it's appearances, I actually put a considerable amount of work into this one compared to a normal video upload on this channel. I worked entirely with the original recordings aside from a few bass tracks from some of my earliest covers - and getting some of those to sound nice and play well was REALLY tough. I hope everyone enjoys this one!! Leave a comment letting me know what you think, like the video, all that nonsense - I'd greatly appreciate it

[@jenovix5709]

Always enjoy your covers man, Having some of my favorite ones neatly placed in one video/CD (that I can hopefully purchase soon) Is amazing. Keep up the great work! As a side note, the Piano part in Ember still gives me as many chills as it did when I first heard it in the game, body remembered, started parrying off of instinct, died immediately haha

[@jenovix5709]

Whelp. didn't read the description, Google Play here I come!

[@Arathrum]

You did an amazing job, everything sounds super crisp and fresh!

[@RoPanuganti]

Love the "simple" transitions, production is audibly stronger than your older covers here, and I can tell you really took creative turns all over.

[@Dragyg]

I love it, and I only heard the first songs so far. But damn if I wouldnt have loved it even more if you made a cover of The First Hunter's song.

[@SixteenInMono]

>Ash and Blood >Ashand Blood >ASHEN BLOOD did u do this

[@dadbodgamesquad]

🤯

[@NomoregoodnamesD8]

Ahhh, you've been at my side all along... my guiding guitar riff...

[@TheRealDoro]

PRAISE THE SUN

[@jenovix5709]

Praise it brother \[T]/

[@pastoramelia]

And fear the old blood

[@adrianbioscagomez]

Fuck yeah bro

[@giliansterckx]

First second: *SPAZZING THE F*CK OUT!!!*

[@ViewtifulBeck]

0:00 to 29:05 was the best part.

[@DarkangelJSB]

Smash Crafters what joke?

[@brolymaininfighterz962]

Not funny,Didn't Laugh

[@stevenlafever955]

Agree

[@vjeranjanes5783]

Very true, did agree

[@tingirino2442]

You're wrong... The entire channel is the best part

[@Billllock]

be wary of metal, therefore try rock

[@thegirthquake8574]

Billock be wary of rock, therefore try tongue but hole

[@LeMancave]

POINTLESS AHEAD

[@sirsleepy1411]

Billock be wary of beanpole

[@Archibaldh1pp0]

Praise the Dad!

[@yemmohater2796]

Be wary of that which is not written in metal

[@brendansvendsen3280]

This really shows how much better you've gotten at audio production, even in the past year. Older tracks like Ornstein and Smough weren't mixed/mastered poorly originally, but you really made them pop out more in this dude. I got nothing but respect for what you do man. I'm glad you finally made this into a profession. Can't wait to see what you do next year!

[@ChristianRichardson]

lol I read the description as "Happy Holidays! Hope you'll remaster this EP!" Grats on getting another awesome album out dude :)

[@ColdplayMulti]

I ate a bowl of cereal to Cardinalate and it was the most metal bowl of cereal I've ever eaten. Jokes aside, I'm gonna buy this once I can, ridiculously good!

[@laubblaeser_]

I really really don't know why this does not have more clicks. Been on my "watch later" list for quite some time now, finally came to listen to it today. Gorgeous work, keep the good stuff coming!

[@levisobnielhernandezmorale6123]

this is the most amazing guitar solo that i heard in my life bro

[@Azazel226]

To open my door on Christmas Eve to a metal band playing the last song. Shed bloody tears of joy.

[@BenSchmerler]

...aaaaaaand bought on Google Play. If you keep making them, I'll keep buying them. Keep up the great work!

[@snazzyfeathers]

MY BODY IS READY

[@HyperactiveFish]

These covers have always been my favorites, they give me goosebumps (in a good way) almost every time. It's nice to now be able to get them in a bundle. Keep up the good work man, appreciate ya!

[@TheRaikoku]

I had not yet finished the game (dark souls 3) when I couldn't resist the tentation anymore and decided to listen to this, I was enraptured by all, when Ember was playingwhen, the piano started that damn melody, my heart skipped a beat, I felt a mighty shiver up my spine and I shed one tear, I felt overwhelmed by emotion. If you read this, thank you, from the bottom of my soul, thanks.

[@fishfreak7]

oh my god that ludwig cover is sexy af. Bloodborne music lends itself very well to rock. oooooo, soul of cinder is hot as balls too. you did a damn fine job sir

[@jcloudy8508]

Dillon File Soul of Cinder hits like something else man. Rich played the lead parts on that one with such style

[@BsTKoDj0]

It's a great experience to actually re-discover your tracks through this album ! Thanks Rich, blessing of metal upon your journey 🙏

[@BenJMog]

Honestly I picked up the guitar because of your work

[@jahnreznov]

great job man! I really hope you do more dark souls tracks, such as Knight Artorias' theme!!!! keep up the good work man!!!!!!

[@yirsdotcom]

I have been looking for this album in your channel, finally I found it excellent job

[@Karnsteinband]

YES! I got Bloodborne for Christmas so this is just perfect!

[@mmmmmmmtoast]

Doom Girl get the dlc! its the best dlc I've ever purchased.

[@dinomaster606]

Finally my Christmas present arrived! Amazing job, Rich :D

[@marcelokappernick1597]

I almost died when i saw this in my subs

[@diegoibanez4768]

Like me

[@marcelokappernick1597]

Alex Gellel Oh well, i guess i should take Giantdad's advice and git gud.

[@Gerrywooh]

Just bought this. It is siiiick! Thanks a bunch RichaadEB for putting together such an awesome album. Keep up the great work!

[@vaderanomaly1573]

Nothing more extreme than cutting potatoes to this

[@alchemist889]

Now I know how the Nameless King feels riding a dragon and spamming lightning bolt.

[@natemarvel2471]

You have emboldened me enough that i am able to get the bats out of my attic.

[@badiaz]

12:03 epic.

[@MCInazuma78]

I'm playing Candy Crush listening to your album and OH MY I can tell that this is the most epic Candy Crush I experienced in my life. thanks papa Rich. x)

[@fetusyeeter]

A little thing I noticed, you used the same scale for your solos throughout the album in different octaves, and that just unifies it all even more. Jesus christ, man, good job!

[@GothaBillsAndDeath]

2:35 the biggest fucking grin on my face.

[@jobean987]

Look. I've yet to play Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne. I've only gotten about an hour into Dark Souls 2, and that's about it. I can't really appreciate these games, let alone their music. But this album is fucking phenomenal, and that says a LOT considering I have no idea what any of these songs are. The album just sounds amazing regardless.

[@diosmios6775]

Did you finally play dark souls 3 yet? :troll:

[@briannash1603]

Just found this yesterday. This is phenomenal. I haven't played DS3 yet but got plat in BB a few weeks ago. I think I need to get DS3 now.

[@gordymc5777]

This is actually awesome, I've been looking for GOOD actually GOOD remixes or covers of DS stuff since it came out and THIS is a real effort! Keeping the music and melody's clear whilst making it something different, more upbeat and obviously awesomely metalish too! I really don't write comments this long anywhere... but wanted to say KUDOS!!!

[@TylerRJenkinsMusic]

Rich, this is really impressive.

[@emanuelherrera1371]

I have no words. This is much more than epic.. i love it! congrats, Rich. you did an amazing job! such a perfect album for me!

[@AbhorrentRose]

This was enjoyable, another fine work!

[@remixex369]

22:50 and Gwyn hits. Amazing, I can't believe I just discovered this album.

[@CJ00014]

The plin plin plon finds us all...

[@Pattamatt1998]

massive grin when Sentinel started playing

[@slipknotmfkrlocust8843]

Happy Holidays to you RachaadEB!

[@diabolicwaste]

damnit this is really fucking good keep it up

[@dragoninstall]

I always forget Abyss Watchers, I guess the more dramatic themes like Dragonslayer Armour get stuck in my head, but your rendition is great dude!

[@papadeggy2742]

This album and determination have powered me through so many awesome workouts. Thank you for doing such an awesome job.

[@Utamaru56]

Great stuff man, sounds really nice. Buying just to encourage you to do more of these. I'm actually recording from scratch all my Dark Souls/Bloodborne covers too (there's like 20 of them) to release them as a full length album. I'm really scared that everyone will think that I just plagiarized your idea :c

[@Neterim69]

I wasn't expecting this at all, it's amazing. I'll try to buy it eventually!

[@vertimyst]

The only complaint I have about this is that it's too short. Great job man!

[@zackum1]

This. I needed this in my life.

[@sebastianbal1008]

omg , that was too much effort making this album right? you've created a masterpiece bro

[@meetmypanda]

Listening to Ornstein and Smough gives me both chills and PTSD

[@autismp432]

Amazing man! I'm trying to come up with ideas for metal, and I wanted to incorporate Soulsbourne stuff into lyrics, but to get all these melodies and stuff just right from the actual soundtracks!!!! That's so impressive dude, I'm pretty picky with metal in general if it's not from the 70s to early 90s and I'm in love with this

[@vincentperretta8831]

Just bought it. Didn't even listen to it yet, just made a b-line for my Mac and purchased it. Cuz I loved both your Determination albums.

[@SkulnXbones]

Amazing EP. Here's to hoping for a DKC album in the future! Keep on being awesome!

[@adrianbioscagomez]

An absolute masterpiece

[@acusticosemmascara4396]

That's so atmospheric, Thanks man! Great!

[@terracannon876]

I'll definitely be checking this out, even though I'm not a Dark Souls fan. Thanks!

[@alfabjornenco2922]

So........where can i get my hands on a vinyl? Oh i can't? Then ill have to order a custom one for god knows how much, ember is seriously the most amazing thing i've heard in awhile! Keep up the good work champ!

[@TwistedKestrel]

My hair went all tingly seeing a Cleric Beast cover from you guys

[@JJAAMESvideo]

Sentinel reminds me a lot of "Vengeance" by Born of Osiris, this album is amazing!

[@warhammerchaosgod]

Holy sh*t...This is ridiculously good!

[@smolygonal]

YESSSS THANK YOU RICH

[@dmaxcustom]

With this, I can go and face my enemies with no fear. Amazing. Is like I have been buffed by a bard before facing an insurmountable foe.

[@LycanDreams9159]

YOOOO!!! Seriously!?!!!? This will be an amazing experience

[@crazyunclelou8419]

just got into the series. great job

[@Gunderslam]

This has such a great production quality! Great work! Also those vocals are fucking disgusting on O Holy Night (which is awesome!!!!)

[@dadbodgamesquad]

CHILLS when the plin plin plon hit.

[@marinasea17]

As much as I love love LOVE this, still slightly disappointed there's no Lady Maria (or even the new Lady Friede) boss theme. That said, every song is amazing.

[@biggles9700]

HEY BUDDY THIS IS GOOD SHIT I just wish there was more bloodborne, the cleric beast theme was SO fucking good im like a lil' bit wet

[@xchanda]

right!? i wish there was gascoine's theme too but o well it's still amazeballs

[@biggles9700]

Dude I LOOOVE Gascoine's theme! I think the major thing for me is how sad it is though, I don't know if it'd carry the same weight with a metal cover, I think something like The Living Failure's theme or Lady Maria would be perfect in this style though.

[@papadeggy2742]

That fuckjin cleric beast cover was JUICY

[@cyansoulofpatience458]

I can already feel the burn.

[@apmaquina]

perfect name for a soulsborne album man!

[@alexanderpatrick9783]

no dancer of the Boreal valley? DISLIK- just kidding this is awesomely well made, nice job ^^

[@Cyndersparx]

Hnnn, Soul of Cinder and Cleric Beast...

[@LucaYasha]

Listening to this while also playing DS3 or bloodborne, makes you feel like an utter badass, just like this album :)

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

This is fucking brutal, will be supporting in droves even though there is only one of me and that is impossible.

[@xX_Thaddeus_Xx]

Moonlight was awesome, but I'd still love to hear a cover of the full song, Accursed phase included.

[@TheTanmoy1990]

YES!OH GOOD LORD YES

[@carbonite9233]

This is Awesome!

[@huntersama1686]

Moonlight is a Fucking "chef d'oeuvre" master piece !! Hat's off!!

[@TheSchoolyD]

Great, love it. Did you re-record them or just remastered? Edit: sorry, I was blind Also, have you considered going "lower" on the scale, maybe try some black/mdm leads and riffs to spice things up since blastbeats are no problem for you?

[@xCheeseburgersx]

Jesus Christ! I'm pumped!

[@Killuhvanilluh]

Hell yeah!

[@Igoxz]

God this sounds great

[@LeMancave]

Great job! Thank you

[@mitchelmckee4253]

Hey RichaadEB, How likely is it that you'll do a cover of Gael's Boss music? bc I, as well as other dark souls fans I imagine, need that in their life. Midir's music would also be cool.

[@lucasnieto9667]

Aahhh PLIN PLIN PLON, therefore Tears ahead

[@Anthonybrother]

*Cranks up volume*

[@ghosttrick2374]

Thank you soooooo much

[@KnjazNazrath]

Good to see the album's finally out. I'll buy all bar the bonus track for as and when the mood takes me. glad it's on the UK amazon, I'm annoyed of so many things being stuck stateside. I've been waiting to hear these songs w/o youtube compression since the original vid for what is now Cardinalate came out. Anyone else hear the Nevermore sweeps in Sentinel and the Rustey Cooley sweeps in Moonlight? Speaking of Moonlight, that Cacophony circus vibe towards the end seems even stronger in this version. Might be psychosomatic. Just a shame that Ember comes right after it, highlighting the fact they start w/ the same arpeggio. Also, for playing an xmas song, ToxicxEternity is relegated to the position of unblack mettaler. Remember kids: No Mosh, No trends, No Core, No Fun. Xmas, not even once.

[@spacegremlin9972]

LEGION!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!! METALLL!!!!

[@141Red]

so good. the question now is: when's the chrono trigger album?

[@notrachelable]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[@nurikkulanbaev3628]

Yes! Progressive Black Metal

[@thetimecapsule1680]

I ought to fetch me a new ember. Flame, dear Flame.

[@fiasworkshop]

Your rendition of Ludwigs is like fucking crack my dude. GG, wp.

[@tsumurireallll]

Thank you

[@ghostnappa777]

Dude your drum sound is incredible! What program are you using? Surely that's not just Superior?

[@TheFragWolf]

I love you Rich.

[@FischlWorks]

HOLY SHIT....

[@TheRealMRS]

WooooW

[@Tyler-ux1zq]

The album is great! Any chance we could get a bandcamp purchase link though?

[@RichaadEB]

Tyler Sheppard can't do this one through bandcamp since it's not licensed merch - sorry

[@KnjazNazrath]

Just mail it to Miyazaki, I'm sure he'll give you the go-ahead for a 10% cut or something.

[@Tyler-ux1zq]

RichaadEB oh, i had no idea that was a thing... Thanks for the kickass jams none the less!

[@gvmartyniak]

Mm, the Undertale albums got bandcamp links because Toby Fox approved em
