Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Soul Guitar Cover

[@mondelsson]

Even now this is still my favourite boss theme in gaming. It just fits so well with the fight itself, and the velvet room melody coming in is just so good.

[@gillstudio]

Agreed!

[@LegendsuperYT]

I really can't overstate how good I find both your Persona covers, and I wish you'd get the recognition they deserve ! Keep it up, your stuff is like honey to my ears.

[@gillstudio]

Thank you so much! While I might not get all that much "recognition", having even just a few people that are able to enjoy them makes it all worth it ^^ So, thank you for watching! I'm hard at work on something new as we speak!

[@wdragon92190]

and then he goes on to add some killer vocal tracks, and just goes nuts all over SMT. dedication.

[@enixfire]

😩 My heart. This song is always a treat. When I first heard it I knew it was ganna stick with me. Such good music in P3.

[@gillstudio]

Couldn't agree more. This boss fight has stuck with me for so long, and I owe a lot of that to this incredible track.

[@gamestop15]

When my heart is poured into listening to this song, " the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed" that is the true purpose of this song

[@simpletones4654]

I heard many covers, this is the best cover

[@gillstudio]

Wow, thank you so much! ^^

[@Akimalateralus]

One of the best songs from the entire videogame history and you did a cover, and it sounds GREAT. You also did a cover of Battle for Survival. Respect. Great singer, by the way

[@smolivia5988]

This song already had a heavy rock feeling to it, you did NOT HAVE TO GO THAT HARD. But you did and I'm so grateful do you understand me So grateful

[@jamesw625]

I dont wanna upset anyone, but to me this sounds way better than the original

[@sergiosalazar8702]

Agreed. The original was kinda “slowed paced” imo. The Margaret’s theme in P4 Ultimax is better too.

[@Atomicwaffle50]

​@sergiosalazar8702 can u explain what you mean by slow paced? They are literally going the same tempo

[@azk9218]

@@Atomicwaffle50 I can only suspect that what he meant is that distortion guitar isn't as audible as it is in this cover, giving it more raw sound than the original. Tho that has nothing to do with the pacing.

[@A5h3n_0n3]

Fr fr. This version gives off more “I am the final boss, not you” vibes than the original.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

@@A5h3n_0n3great cover but that’s why it’s wrong, makoto is the final boss, in literally terms, Erebus is partially him cuz it’s all humanity, and Makoto is the only thing stopping Nyx from reaching Erebus, her brother-husband, and destroying the world

[@zonak7102]

the arcana is the means by which all is revealed

[@Shyguy-yu1cu]

Just listened to to the persona 3 reloaded version of this before watching this, and I gotta day this is a gazillion times better

[@Zarinah]

When the bass guitar kicked in...such a good bass tone! You did a fantastic job with the mix, it sounds incredibly professional :) I think its time to replay P3 and P4...

[@gillstudio]

Thank you! ^^ Agreed. Can never get enough of those games! (and it's gdlk music)

[@Jinxed625]

Been listening to this on repeat for the past 20 hours. It's so good

[@ivorymantis1026]

"Fighting an avatar of change/death, but this time it is downright malicious." Vibe I'm getting.

[@Clem_Grineer]

I have listened to this over a million times, and what i wouldnt give for an extended version. Its just incredible and i legit thought this was the original and couldnt believe it was a cover

[@UltimusTerminus]

Nice detail with the 4:44 length

[@aldhikabl482]

This is beautiful I've been playing this on repeat for 3 hours now

[@DashAniston]

Hey Gill your cover is awesome! I was wondering if may I have your permission to use it as a background in videos? Of course fully crediting you!

[@gillstudio]

Thanks for listening! Yeah, go for it! \m/

[@alfie4234]

Hey, does anyone here know if the arcana is the means by which all is revealed??? Cuz I’m not sure...

[@earthboundisawsome]

I'm not too sure, but I think that the moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge they entrusted their fate to the cards.

Persona 4 was my first Persona game and I always think of the Velvet Room from 4 whenever I hear this x3

[@yuriakhsani4479]

Velvet room use "aria of the soul" for the soundtrack, and this song, "battle for everyone's soul", is the alternate version of it. And it plays on boss battle of persona 3! 👍

One of the best song in the Persona series 😁 Thanks for the cover

[@jakepearce6949]

Every time i hear a version of this, i can imagine Elizabeth being the one singing it for some weird reason (even if it's Belladonna? Or is it Nameless? I get confused between those two a lot)

[@MegaVideoman23]

Belladonna was the original singer Nanashi/Nameless was her piano player and lover, the original velvet room was a blues club, based on an american TV series called Twin Peaks, there is a weird dream lounge called the red room, 3 onward decided the room would change with the wildcards journey.

[@Not_Ciel]

@@MegaVideoman23 Belladonna and Nameless are still there, just not to the protagonist.

what's the signal chain you use for the bass? it sounds so beast!

[@gillstudio]

Thanks! I used TH3 Overloud for the amp modeling, using 2 separate signal chains for the clean low end and the "crunchy" mids. Clean: compression -> bass amp Distorted: compression -> eq (for filtering out low end) -> tube screamer -> hi gain guitar amp Hope that helped! ^^

So little views, just because you got the name wrong... it's POEM OF, not BATTLE FOR

[@gillstudio]

This is a cover of the Persona 3 boss battle theme called "The Battle for Everyone's Soul", which shares the same melody as "Poem of Everyone's Soul", so I can definitely see how that would be confusing. Might be a good idea to add that to the video's tags, though!

And also, The "real" name of the song is Battle Hymn of the Soul, but both names are correct iirc
