I feel drummers don't get as much love nowadays, so I will say those ghost notes and the dynamics are just eargasmic, soooo good! Great work to all of you guys!

[@cooldebt]

The Consouls very own 'Anderson .Mark' 😉

[@acrophis]

What Michael said. Hop into the comment section of a Meshuggah, Ulcerate or Mgla track and witness the drummer wars.

[@t1s868]

so lucky am i to find such a gem

[@Dr.Thomas_Elliot]

Crazy good. I’ve never thought of this in a jazz style. Insane.

[@davidguthriemusic]

this was a sick arrangement; that guitar work was so tasty and this whole thing was a good balance of chill vibes and dark dives 🖤

[@Kavon8mc]

Only a minute in and I know this is going straight to favorites.

[@Phokey29]

Making a jazz arrangement of this song was such a big brain idea, because I wouldn't immediately think that it would work. Remembering this song in it's original context, the first time I heard it as a kid. The emotional tension was so high as you arrive to Hollow Bastion, this huge empty feeling place, having the keyblade taken away, being left by Donald and Goofy. And then there was this song, with it's relentless melody and cold tones, I remember the chills it sent down my spine. It left me feeling lost and scared. Your arrangement is too warm, balanced, and full for the emotion of the original, replaced instead by a more confident version. Like, you've been through a lot, but you're stronger and more dynamic now than when you were a child, but also, still feeling lost at times.

[@cooldebt]

That's a great description of what The Consouls do - warm, balanced, confident, strong and dynamic VGM covers which retain the identity of the original but so big brain that they usually have a surprising and wonderful twist like my very first Consouls favourite Zelda Main Theme.

[@Phokey29]

@@cooldebt it's very inspiring. I hope to achieve something similar someday.

[@cooldebt]

@@Phokey29 Please allow me to wish you all the best in your musical (and other) endeavours :)

Babe wake up new consouls post

[@cooldebt]

Nothing hollow about this brilliant arrangement - a totally solid groove! 🎶

[@Naxaky]

solid bastion!

[@nahhmyg]

KINGDOM HEAT

[@thelonesage3146]

Always loved this song now even more so

[@benjammin6651]

This is 🔥🔥🔥. Can't describe how good this is.

[@alifeinpurpose]

This is the most laid back version of Hollow Bastion I've ever heard and...I'm very pleased with it, now all I need is a cup of tea with this on a 1 hour loop and I'll be set for the evening

[@cooldebt]

A perfect way to enjoy The Consouls - except a 1 hour loop is not quite enough ;)

[@lamp9359]

A few seconds in and...It's Kingdom Hearts!! I just got in Hollow Bastion, too! Wonderful cover, I love it!

[@OneColdtruth]

So peaceful

[@Duhemsounds]

This is some beautiful jazzy work, great session

[@Lactosecow]

Such a creative idea for a remix. Wonderfully done!

[@verdanthorn]

This is amazing!

[@twamstwamsington3320]

this is a really hard track to cover imo but you guys knocked it out of the park

[@burroneeka5088]

Ughhhh utter perfection

[@OldCaptainMax]

God I love when you guys cover my favorite games like this. It's a nostalgia trip with a dose of extra cool. I get to imagine the original composition while listening to this at the same time and it just makes me happy.

[@WyperDeathAngel]

Oh WOW ! Just magnificent ! Excellent work and beautiful arrangement, congrats ;-)

[@quil6184]

This is awesome 🔥

[@oluvids]

I love how much emotion is in this 😭

[@tsuki008]

Godly as always. You guys are one of the greatest things ive discovered this year.

[@kcsoup3]

INCREDIBLE

[@rotolotto]

Yes!!! Nailed it. Wonderful work lads

[@skamvids413]

You guys hit it out of the park with this one

[@justindza]

This was incredible. One of my favorite kingdom hearts tracks. And you certainly did the original track justice.

[@zumirelix]

Y'all always have the dopest arrangements!

[@TheConsoulsBand]

Thank you!!

[@supakorns.7750]

This cover deserves standing applause 👏

[@cooldebt]

Agree. Even after the 100th+ loop it's as Elton John said - 'I'm Still Standing' ;)

[@leximatic]

Just awesome. This has so much tension, couldn't be played better. It's when the right people and right piece come together, astonishing things can happen. The original has so much drama and power but you were able to harness it and took it to another level.

[@deshawnburns1962]

THANK YOU!!! Love you guys 😭🔥

[@albertoalvarado2845]

i love this, hello from Mexico

[@liamfitzgerald1400]

You have done truly tasty things with this track.... couldn't help but grin

[@asaspades3579]

unbelievable, need to go practice now lmao

[@RikkaFresh]

WOW you guys REALLY killed this one. Fantastic arrangement!

[@jasonsignor3888]

Literally the best version of this theme I have ever heard thank you so much for making this best video I’ve seen all month

[@Kos115]

Fantastic

[@DaBlkOtaku]

I think my favorite part of this cover, beyond Mark's fantastic drum fills, is hearing "A Cyber's World" quoted and then getting hit with the lick within the next few moments lol

[@JohnWayne-hj5by]

THANK YOU

[@montyspa6950]

never played kingdom hearts but this sounded great

[@nik.olas328]

This is brilliant thank you so much for existing ❤️

[@valadascar]

Love it.

[@donkeydeez1012]

Please more Kingdom Hearts music 🙏

[@babyoli]

i luv this

[@MehIFied]

Amazing cover!

[@kareemlong8252]

Y'all are way too talented

[@elcebollin6241]

❤❤❤

[@seanshepherd1071]

This is an amazing arrangement and cover! Beautifully done. 1st edit: And knowing the song, it's extremely complex from a technical standpoint. I can only imagine the pain involved in mastering the time signature of this track. 2nd edit: Also, my LORD that keyboard.... Not sure if you're playing it or it's playing you, lol.... That is some SERIOUS key love right there. 3rd edit: Xion's theme doesn't get enough Jazz love, ever consider it? Feel like you guys would crush it.

[@delphinusblue8215]

More Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy/Metal Gear Solid cover please!

[@Cunnysmythe]

This is filthy foul Instantly addictive Never heard the original

[@justindza]

Did you check it out? It is incredible how they transformed the original

[@Cunnysmythe]

@@justindza Just did. Would not have seen it as a natural fit for a jazz cover at all, very impressive that they totally changed the personality of it

[@FJness]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

[@hellfromshiryu]

OMG

[@ThatKidTony]

Any plans to get this one on spotify? Would love to add it to my rotation.

[@cooldebt]

Me too!

[@thecinnaman5281]

Phenomenal!! I believe Karin theme from SFV would be great to cover

[@TheConsoulsBand]

We have! As a collab with xclassicalcatx it’s on her channel!

[@jedhieb1879]

Producer: make this cover lit af or you're fired Y'all: say less 😎🎶

[@suchbadguy5520]

Love the song but I can't seem to find this on Spotify? Have you uploaded it to that listening platform?

[@cooldebt]

Probably depends on the quality of the recorded audio and length of the tune (this one is longish) - I too would love this (and so many more!) on Spotify.

[@stephenmylett3796]

Is there any chance there's music sheets out there for the piano part 😬

[@wellhellothere5144]

ok i need that sheet music for the piano

[@TheConsoulsBand]

We have our lead sheets available on our patreon!

[@wellhellothere5144]

@@TheConsoulsBand oh my gosh thank you

Original Hollow Basion: "Oh shit my friends just betrayed me and I'm powerless, I'm screwed! God give me strength." This: "Whelp...I guess I just gotta let the water roll off my back and just...Put in that work."
