[@noahboisard8450]

Hi! I check the album on deezer and why there isn't the seeker of darkness tracks ?

[@GarikWheeler]

I couldn't add that song to the album for licensing reasons. I'm making it available to download for free, though. Check the description! EDIT: Seeker of Darkness is now available to buy/stream! Check the description!

[@timthebigone]

Hey love your cover. I twitch sometimes and I was wondering if you are fine with me streaming your music.

[@GarikWheeler]

Absolutely! Go for it

[@timthebigone]

Garik Wheeler thank you for your permission.

[@MrHaveGoing]

Why are you so good?

[@GarikWheeler]

Because I embraced the D A H K N E S S

[@MrHaveGoing]

I did the same but it didn't help me :( Maybe it's because I'm using a 2 dollar toy guitar I bought in Walmart but I'm not quite sure...

[@GarikWheeler]

Nothing is more metal than Walmart guitars, man. Start with the $2 guitar and then maybe one day you can work your way up to the almighty First Act guitars.

[@chrisart481]

No problem. Keep up the great work. (This brings back so many memories)

[@dlwill80]

Hey dude, could you tell me where you got that KH2 T-shirt from in your metal cover of Sanctuary? It looks freaking badass

[@Drumavarium]

This is the first time I've ever commented on a video twice. HOLY FUCK. EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS.

[@ravenscout]

I need to know how you get that sound out of your guitar. What are your amp settings? If I can just get close, that's good enough for me

[@oblivionkeeper4698]

Dude this is freaking epic I have now put Hikari, sanctuary, dearly beloved, Sora and Aqua’s theme on repeat. Aqua’s theme is my most favorite so far along with Hikari/Sanctuary she is freaking Bae!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@TheMike0088]

is there ever gonna be a physical copy of this? Besides the obviously dope music I really like the album art, would really like to add it to my collection. Plus I just vastly prefer listening to CDs in my car over plugging the phone in.

[@GarikWheeler]

As a matter of fact, I'm taking orders for physical CD's of the album right now! You can get one here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/reconnect-kingdom-hearts-metal-album-physical-cds-music-videogames/x/4606472#/

[@TheMike0088]

Garik Wheeler awesome man! this might be somewhat of a nitpick-y question, but any news on what the art on the CD itself is gonna look like? For me personally, only a completely blank CD would be a semi-dealbreaker, which I don't think you're doing, but I'm still curious. Definately super interested in buying this!

[@GarikWheeler]

Oh no, the CD will definitely have art printed onto it. I designed all the packaging and artwork myself, and I agree that blank CDs look ugly lmao. This video here shows a 3D render of what all the packaging will look like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX-nYZ-EarmliMk

[@TheMike0088]

thanks for the insightful answers. gonna make sure to order it tomorrow or so.

[@SultansCurse]

Would you by chance have tabs available for free or purchase? very interested in tracking these to rocksmith and also learning them myself

[@mattq9636]

So glad you put out an album for your covers dude. Just got it off itunes yesterday to make christmas all the better. Just one question though, how come seeker of darkness is on the youtube album but not on the itunes one?

[@GarikWheeler]

Thanks for getting it, and I'm glad you're enjoying it! The reason Seeker of Darkness is not on the album in any of the online stores is because I was unable to legally license it. There's a lot of legal mumbo jumbo, but basically, because it's a big medley of a bunch of songs mashed together, licensing it legally for commercial distribution isn't possible. So, I had to remove it from the album. BUT, instead I decided to give it away as a free download. After downloading it, you can add the song to your album (it's supposed to be Track #13). If you haven't yet, you can download the song right here: www.mediafire.com/file/2cb3wu33kdsw230/Seeker+of+Darkness.mp3

[@emerikdegassowski1712]

The heart can be weak sometimes even, it can submit but I learned that deep in it there is a light that never goes out

[@ravenscout]

Have you released tabs for any of these? I found like one decent tab for these songs and would love to be able to play the rest as I learn to play by ear.

[@fos427]

destati is fucking sick. and i really like how you approached that breakdown in sanctuary, not overdone like other covers of it. tried to make it just like in the game but heavier vanitas and seeker of darkness got turned into some evil ass blackened deathcore, heavy as fuck.

[@the_jones528]

Holy *D A R K N E S S* I can just imagine seeing you in the keyblade graveyard just going to town on your instruments, as the battle with Xehanort is happening behind you.

[@cradlepen5621]

They should add battle change music. Metal version and whatnot.

[@ismaelgonzalez9293]

I'm from Argentina Buenos Aires. My Uncle recommended it to me and I came right away to listen to it, I can't stop listening to it, it's SOOOOO GOOD.

[@aarnilipponen4718]

You are so talented! This album is pure gold, actually I personally like your versions wayyyy better than the originals! Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@stephangillespie4578]

THIS IS EVERYTHING. PLEASE DONT EVER STOP.

Thank you! And don't worry, there's more coming ;)

[@akaibarasenritsuko1421]

Yes an album finally I can listen to all of your amazing content when I'm not online or drawing

[@guiroos]

Man I can't believe it took so much time to KZbin recommend this for me and makes me angry, because all the other nonsense that shows up in my front page... Anyway, I loved and vibed so much with this album, it really bring back memories when I played this game (with so much energy ofc). Can I have the permission to listen to this album and other songs in the channel in my Stream?

[@GarikWheeler]

Thank you! And absolutely, go right ahead :)

[@Sunuvavitch]

Ive listened to your somgs everyday since I found out about them. Keep up the great work, like its nostalgia mixed with new. This album is a whole oxymoron of sorts- familiar, yet new. Melodies that resonate, yet in an entirely new way. Dont stop bro!

[@K3Dvrk]

Well I just listened everything, amazing job Garik

[@Sever_Eushon]

To be honest, this might be one of the most solid metal covers of Kingdom Hearts music I have ever heard. Keep up the good work! :) (Pun unintended XD)

[@zukoplaysow]

Hey Garik, big fan. Why isn't the Seeker of Darkness on Spotify?

[@GarikWheeler]

Copyright issues. SoD has 13 different compositions in it, and there's no distributor service (like Soundrop, Distro Kid, etc) that is willing to host a 13-song medley and deliver it to places like iTunes and Spotify due to the complications with licensing it creates for them. Sorry about that!

[@zukoplaysow]

@@GarikWheeler Jeez, that's a pain since it's SO good. Well luckily Spotify Premium let's you listen to local files and add them to playlists like any other song so thanks to your free download link, I can still listen to it on my phone. Thanks so much!
