This drummer glued the whole band together. As far as I know, not a single missed beat. Incredible!

[@samproctor8421]

He absolutely nailed it, such a hard song to play too.

[@tatecheddar]

@@samproctor8421 As the drummer is supposed to do. Well done.

[@Marethe]

Absolutely spot on. Great drumming.

[@I3ULL3T96]

Damn that ruled.

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you so much!

[@post-man23]

This is my favourite song of all time. Thanks for covering it!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

No problem we love the song as well obviously 😉

[@tahasimsek]

awesome cover guys! cheers!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@luisantoniobuenabad9459]

woooow this is amazing!! Congratulations, great job!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you so much!!

[@JoshStobart]

Great stuff. Whoever mixed this needs some props for getting the harp right! It sits nicely in a pocket of its own. As for the musicians, all need to be praised. I don't think I noticed anything off by much more than a hair, which is so tough in a live recording. Especially live!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thanks for the nice compliment! We always make great efforts to sound the best we can in live situations. 😊

[@johnnicholson8345]

You guys are fucking awesome. Maybe my favorite Karnivool song and you absolutely killed it. Both your voices were so spot on. Bravo and please post some more.

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you so much, that means a lot! And there may be some things coming not too far in the future.

[@pjnbcgjnnvffhbvu]

A lovely cover! Impressed by the drummers high hat foot technique at 2:10

[@VincentDeLuca2003]

What a fantastic cover. So clean and perfect, it sounds so close to the original. Very well done!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you so much for the great compliment!

[@Unanythang]

Fucking god damn phenomanal. Shared. Wish I had money to support during these times.

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you! Great to hear.

[@binzianer]

Seriously, amazing folks!

[@NoStickTricks]

This was an absolute pleasure to watch and enjoy! Lot's of work went into this performance. Thank you for sharing. The Track has to be up there in the top 3 of Vool for me.

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Wow what a great compliment, thank you!

[@NoStickTricks]

@@skylakeband-official1659 Lovely to hear back from you! You really did this Song justice and to play it live altogether is so in tune with the entire record, which I can listen to so much, for the reason of it sounding so (a)live and honest - and that has to be what I enjoy the most about your session here. :) Am actually also working on 2 Sound Awake drum covers right now and hope to shoot them next week. I'll let you know, - if you're interested. Peace and Happiness

[@skylakeband-official1659]

That’s cool, the more Vool available for people to discover them the better! Good luck with the videos.

[@NoStickTricks]

@@skylakeband-official1659 Agreed! Thank you - take care!

[@NoStickTricks]

@@skylakeband-official1659 Hey friends! Thought I just drop a small note here, that the videos are up. It would be my absolute pleasure to get you thoughts on them. If you have the time and are in the mood only ofc. Best side effect of writing this here has to be, that I get to listening to your cover again meanwhile, hehe! :) Take good care. And I like the In Orbit stuff too and you have my respect for even attempting to performe retrospective live! :D You made me wanna dive into Altered State right away for the 100th time. Cheers.

[@brandonherndon4394]

When I clicked on this video and saw it was a cover I was disappointed... and then I wasn't

[@skylakeband-official1659]

We’re glad to hear that!

[@Calswitch]

Nailed it. A difficult song to do justice yet you have done just that, capturing both the technicality and the groove. One of my favourites!

[@eriklaan8207]

Love this song. Check the guitar solo at 6.37: a great addition to the original by Karnivool

[@TheTijmdo]

Love IT, Love YOU, Love your sound! Keep it up.

[@rtscren]

Like it!

[@satyajitsai1028]

This is beautiful!!!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you!

[@sergioorozcobarrera8512]

I'm totally amazed. Great job!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you, great to hear!

[@abhishekchakravorty234]

Hey this is such a beautiful cover! Much love from India! ♥ UPDATE: Checked out their album IN ORBIT on Spotify and it is absolutely beautiful! Hope to see them live someday!

[@skylakeband-official1659]

Thank you, great to hear you like our music. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to play around the world some day!

[@dakitey1995]

Fuark that harp is amazing! mad respect

[@chrominox]

As someone who absolutely adores this song, I'm so happy y'all made it. If it's not too much to ask, can one of you post a guitar play-through of it? I'd love to learn it.

[@bartlaan1996]

hey man, glad you like the cover! Sure I could do that, but my arrangement is a bit weird because we have harp+guitar instead of 2 guitars. Also I'm playing on a 7-string (capo on 1) instead of whatever weird tuning Karnivool uses haha So if all that's not a problem, lmk

[@chrominox]

Bart Laan deffo not a problem. I may need to adapt it for the my 6string but I think I could make it work. Appreciate the effort mate, really. Cheers. Could you mention the tuning when you do make the video? Again, heaps of thank yous.

[@bartlaan1996]

@@chrominox here you go, hope you find it useful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4PKeqdsgZaGm7s

great job, now do COTE :)

[@KungFuRandur]

Very good, but would be even better without the girls voice

[@jezplaisance]

No way, her harmonies are great. Each band member nailed it. I loved her voice at the bridge 4:00

[@KungFuRandur]

@@jezplaisance another taste :)
