As I said in the previous video, this week's cover is a revisit of a cover I did fairly recently. I was excited to see Bury the Light so high on the list, but I had absolutely no idea how to tackle it differently from my first time. The natural approach for me is to just go lower with tuning, but that meant Double Drop D, or 8-string dropped an octave below a normal 6-string drop D. It's not the first time I've played this low, but I was really determined to make it as clean and clear as possible when it came to pitch stability.
To achieve this, I finally picked up Mike Stringer's Mixwave plugin (not sponsored) knowing that Spiritbox plays in Drop F#, it had to be good for this and oh boy was it. I landed on a tone I liked almost instantly and it gave me the inspiration to really lean on Spiritbox influence for this cover as they've been the most influential band on me in the past few years. I took a lot of arrangement ideas from Jaded, with a ton of mix tricks from Circle With Me. I even ended up mixing in the double drop D guitar ANOTHER octave down as well as the bass to make the guitars sound lower than perhaps anything I've ever heard before, let alone mixed myself. It was an incredible challenge in the production phase of this cover.
My last cover of this song was met with a lot of criticism because of my voice. It was tough on me because as a lot of you know, I have rather low self-esteem with my singing and I've been really trying to work to be okay with it, but I took a very growly approach with this then and I could tell by the comments, some people did not like it. Having Lollia take this one is exciting for me because we're flipping the gender of the singer and it really sounds unique and different from the original in a cool way. The comments sections of my videos are usually unnecissarily over-critical anytime I have a vocalist, and I'm sure it won't be different this time. However, I really think we landed on something really cool here, and worrying about pleasing everyone may have prevented me from doing this project like this.
This was reuploaded because the initial video got a large amount of criticism about the vocal mix. The vocals have been boosted in this and I hope it's easier to hear more intricities in Lollia's performance. We took a very different approach with the style of this song, and while it won't be for everyone, I those who enjoy it can appreciate the insane work that went into this.
Bury the Light in 2022 was the last cover I did before breaking my thumb which triggered a domino effect of many really tough trials in my life. I'm hoping that I can bookend that with this truly monsterous revisit to that cover. All that being said, the final cover of your favorite video game songs of all time is just a week away...
And dare is say it, it's going to be even bigger than this one.

Jules over here fighting for his life on those guitars... Meanwhile Lollia just bing chilling

[@LilyBlue53]

Sorry to hear that people were harsh with their criticism yesterday, I thought yesterdays version was killer, and this one sounds even better. Looking forward to #1!

[@vichapte4214]

I mean, it's kinda thanks to that that we got this even better banger today though. It's like when Sonic movie's reveal got giga trashed on and then we got the actual good version of it. Obv the analogy is a bit more broad since the first version wasn't like the first sonic reveal ofc.

[@LilyBlue53]

I’d say constructive criticism like saying the vocal mix was too quiet is valid, I didn’t see what people are saying but it’s also not uncommon to see people just saying that a cover is bad without any actual criticism.

[@fatesend8637]

Same.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

“I don’t know why people criticized yesterday’s” “This one is even better” Hm.

[@KainYusanagi]

@@LilyBlue53 TBH I saw just a wellspring of praise for it, but yeah, the vocal mix was way too quiet, so cool that we got this remix.

[@SerfWax]

Original mix was awesome, this version is awesome, and the original cover (INCLUDING YOUR VOCALS) was awesome! You make good music man!

[@BreakGlassForMemes]

@@shadicboom1695 No, he took it down due to negative feedback. Basically it was the same as this one, but the vocals were far more quiet, leading to complaints that people couldn't hear the lyrics.

[@skyash7566]

@@BreakGlassForMemes + tbh, 7:45 part was anticlimactic as hell due to quiet and calm voice(so is right now)

[@TiZ_HugLife]

When the chorus hits in the Casey Edwards version, it's like Vergil is running at you because of how hard the vocalist goes. In this version, when the chorus hits, it's like Vergil is *walking* toward you, *imposingly.* Both of those things are terrifying for completely different reasons! Which means you've both captured a really great vibe with this arrangement. You and Lollia did great work here! :D

[@KainYusanagi]

Vergil vs Dio, in execution, would you say?

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

​@@KainYusanagi Oh? You're approaching me?

[@akirakujo6533]

Vergil: **Casually approach child** Nero: **Confused screaming**

[@MrCh0o]

Tbh even in the original, it felt more like Vergil was actually just standing there and you were drawn in against your will. Movement is relative, after all😂 But, you know, that's probably just me projecting the badassery of his image in my mind

When vergil had a motivated daughter.

[@purplecyanblack3805]

This cover is excellent. The almost lullaby-like vocals juxtaposed with the accentuated tempo by the heaviness of the instrumentals creates this feeling that is very ominous. Like a looming danger encroaching upon a sanctuary of peace u ready for what is to come. It feels like it could be used as a theme for the end of Vergil’s boyhood, recounting the mere hours before the incident that would take what was left of his family from him. It’s not as “hype” as the original, but it brings its own energy to the table. One that I feel encapsulates a different specific aspect of Vergil’s character.

[@killxtech1302]

The original BtL exudes raw power while this one has a hauntingly almost somber tone which is really cool. I also kinda like that having a female vocalist adds an extra little link to Nero's theme. Like a little familial bond in their themes. I love stuff like that. I didn't get to hear the previous upload of this, but I quite like this version. Jules never seems to miss. Also, Merry Christmas brother

[@KaiCyreus]

holy heck this was perfect, who knew Bury The Light would have so much potential with a female vocalist love the crunchier style of the guitars too why is this song so GOOD

[@jaron95]

Lollia is a goddess.

[@redaggron1]

Lollia’s vocals are much easier for me to hear and understand in this upload fwiw, I appreciate you taking the extra time to remix it, and I’m sorry to hear people were harsh with the criticisms of the last upload

[@kjj26k]

Oh yes This will make a fine addition to my collection. Thanks for the awesome remix!

[@Inzeost]

Both your covers of this song are incredible and speak to the effort and quality that you are able to consistently put out. Blows my mind that people leveled so much critique at them. Might just be due to the meme status of the song itself, but regardless you've done amazing work.

[@sambuller6903]

Didn't get the chance to hear your first version but I probably would have loved it like all your work. You're amazing and dont ever doubt that!

[@Soress9]

It's the same, but the vocals were lower so it was a bit harder to hear over music. This feels much better

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

@@Soress9this still definitely isn’t my favorite version, her singing is beautiful, which I don’t think fits the vibe of the song and the lyrics. It’s a ballad of rage and sorrow, and the instrumental still reflects the intensity of those feelings while the vocals don’t. I think her vocals would work great for a piano/orchestral version of the song. I do absolutely prefer the audio levels compared to yesterday’s, though.

[@FlushaTheWolfy]

Both of you motivated my life❤

[@tabithatachibana9607]

The orignial cover of Bury the Light is probably my favorite cover you've ever done, especially the vocals. This version though, this one hits different both with the lower guitar riffs making it heavy as all hell coupled with Lollia's kinda of haunting, etherial vocals. You guys absolutely KILLED it, so cool to see two of my favorite musicians collabing for something like this. Keep rocking and here's to more great things to come in 2024 ❤❤❤

[@Aero1818]

Man, awesome! No need to have low self esteem about your voice, while your guitar is freaking awesome!! As well as your creativity and personal touch when making your versions.

[@thenameless2379]

To hate on this group because they make their own covers of epic songs and they make original songs . For every negative person who says a negative comment, obviously, the best thing to do is the block of them. And you two. Keep up the epic work. I love this version of Virgil's theme song. You have a beautiful voice, and your friend is an epic guitarist. Keep up the great work, forget the haters keep rocking. 🤘💜

[@PJenkinss]

Did not have the chance to hear to other version. I can only say that this is INSANELY good. Good job to everybody involved!

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

[@zerkker6096]

Hearing a female take on the vocals was extremely refreshing, and the instrumentals, especially the guitar, were very well done and breathed new life into a song I’ve listened to a thousand times.

[@copperfield17]

I was so looking forward to hearing Jules do the solo at the end and he delivered in spades. Absolutely stunning cover. Stunning vocals. You have created something truly special.

[@TwiggyShei]

We still don't know who Nero's mother is.

[@DarkSkull011Gaming4U]

I personally loved the version you did with your voice, so I'm saddened to hear that you felt like it warranted a do over (though I'm also glad that you didn't just straight up delete the original). With that said, this version with Lollia is a *killer* remaster! I get inspiration from music for my writing and this cover gives off the *perfect* vibe for one of my projects. Amazing job, absolutely saving to a playlist and listening to it for several hours on loop.

[@VinceOMalee]

[@eudaimonistic]

Like everything else from this channel, this just sounds so IN YOUR FACE EXCELLENT. Thanks for another banger! Vocals, guitar, everything! I thought you nailed the speechy bits really well too, which is deceptively difficult to get right. I didn't hear the original release, but Lollio came through really well in this mix and the effort to make this sound awesome really shows.

Alright when the guitarist got to the whispers bit, to me. Your voice reminded me of DMC3 Dante. Pretty cool m8.

[@zoronarucryfell213]

A very unique and awesome cover. It feels like rhythm got changed a little bit and overall song got a lot heavier,which makes this cover stand out from others in a very good way. Lollia's calm voice turning into hardcore screaming in chorus feels incredibly nice for ears and video itself also have big amount of energy,helping the song to be even better. Amazing work and deffinitely one of the most interesting and coolest covers I've seen in a while! (Excuse my English if I write something wrong,English is not my first language xd)

I have literally just been playing a bunch of their songs on my new seven string guitar using the trial version of the Mike Stringer mixwave plugin and I'm so tempted to pick it up myself 😅

[@DistilledBemusement]

The previous version was really good, this version has improved with the vocals more clearly defined, really well done on this man its fantastic

[@TheLando18005]

Ok so I listened to this version of the song and compared to yesterday the mixing is better, so I certainly can appreciate that. I also went back and listened to your version and man, you sound great. That was over a year ago so currently I am sure that you have the talent to sound just as good or better. Also also I hope you didn't forget that Victor himself thanked you for doing the cover, which is huge because that means, at least I would think, that he recognized your cover of the song as a vision similar to his own in some capacity and enjoyed it. You, Lollia and Victor all did great!

Awesome cover as usual. The most important thing is that you like it yourself anyway, let critics be critics. Keep rocking! As I said in the original comment section, my favourite part is the section where you sing "lurking in the shadows..." - it's so unexpected, yet so fitting, creating cool contrast.
