Quad Machine - Quake 2(cover)

[@sonicmayhemofficial]

Excellent work guys. Added you to my fav covers playlist on the official channel! ;)

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks for writing such cool soundtracks! I'm glad you liked our cover! That means a lot :D

[@sonicmayhemofficial]

@@SiolfortheJackal cheers!

[@JD-fm6ur]

This is an excellent cover, probably the closest to the absolute filth of the original.

[@thenimon]

Dude, Quake and Metal. Nuff said. Also that bass tone be THICC

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Haha totally! Tired of all these weak bass tones hiding in the mix, and this song calls for thick bass 🤘🤘

[@0ejmusik0]

Loved this game

[@SiolfortheJackal]

I've never actually played it but I've been a big fan of the music forever though!

[@Sinewmire]

Blasting me straight back to the 90s. Thanks for this, I love it.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

You're welcome!

[@piggosalternateaccount4917]

Playing Q2 for the first time, this is fucking sick, great work everyone Also the chello ROCKS, it sounds fantastic raising everything up

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks! Yeah, the cello really carries this! Given how much I love this soundtrack, I really probably should play the game one day 😅

[@deathwatch2238]

The cello was an excellent decision, such a unique tone and the weight of it is almost oppressive in nature I love it.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks! I'm glad it worked as well as it did. Completely changed the whole feeling of some parts!

[@Koruvax]

Cello 🤝 Metal. Always has been :)

[@Scerttle]

I actually tried Quake 2 netplay with a mate a couple of years back. Actually a lot of fun to play through it co-op even these days.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Oh rad! I had no idea it had co-op.

[@Scerttle]

@@SiolfortheJackal Yea! It's a little janky during scripted moments, but you can play the whole thing from start to finish

[@ZyliceLiddell]

I absolutely agree!

[@baseera6532]

fire.... so good

[@LyneaFlynn]

I *think* I watched my brother play Quake when I was a child. But he never played anything with music on and used his own playlist xD So, thank you for showcasing this piece!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks, Lyn! I think I watched a friend play once and it was giving me motion sickness.

[@ttfd]

Great job, really solid cover

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks, man!

[@zildog]

That was AWESOME.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Cheers, dude!

[@soundsandstuff]

Yes! Yes! You guys played this cover perfectly and the cello was a cool addition to the guitars and the drums! I remember learning to play this song when I was beginning guitar, from such an epic soundtrack and game. If they ever do a remake of the original I totally recommend playing it!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

It's such a fun one to play, it sounds cool but is easy to play. Win/win!

[@saltwalk]

Whoa. My boy Chromatic Apparatus has branched out to new territory! Thumpin'!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

I think this is the second time I have gotten him to do some metal with me. Such a champ, always happy to collab.

[@AnimalisaKeys]

I don't know the game either but I'm with you, the music sounds dope! Awesome collab from all three of you! Can't go wrong with cello, such a good instrument.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

The songs from this game are just so much fun to play on guitar, and not that difficult. Win win. And It's always a good idea to add stuff like cello!

[@Sean081799]

Awesome playing, and I really love how CA's cello adds to the arrangement, it's a cool texture.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Sounds much better with CA than it does without!

[@SoulinSadness]

(This time the official visit for the contest) That smirk on Chromatics face while his instrument makes SCHRUMM SCHRUMM 😁

[@SiolfortheJackal]

I know, right? He feels the badarse-ness of metal cello.

[@Andruth34]

Ah, so nostalgic. Favorite song in the game, and you guys played it perfectly. I should go back and play through the game again.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Agreed! I absolutely love this soundtrack!

[@JonasBombeke]

Ahhh, that takes me back, good times. Really well played, everyone! Say hi to that cute little octopus for me!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Cheers, dude! I'll pass that along.

[@SoulinSadness]

That is a sick bass line with guitars bass and cello. You evil genius!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Cheers, mate! Can't go wrong with some metal cello!

[@rophmusic]

Takes me back to sneaking onto my dad's PC to play it back in the day cause he had a Voodoo card and it was butter smooth 🔥🤘

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Oh man, Voodoo, I got so sick of this one guy at my school always bragging about whatever new PC part he got haha.

[@BrendanVavra]

Hell yeah, great arrangement - perfect blend of instrumentation for this.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Cheers, dude. It came together better than I hoped.

[@ziidur]

🔥

[@SiolfortheJackal]

🤘

[@thommekm]

Nice rendition of my absolute favorite Q2 song.. the cello was a great choice.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks, it's my favourite too! The cello is a rad instrument too.

[@zxcven]

fuck yeah great stuff!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Cheers, dude!

[@WarpWhistlesMusic]

aww yeah that cello was a fab addition. what a nostalgic jam (I too only know the song via cultural osmosis and not actually *playing* the game haha) great job you 3!!

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks, donut! Glad I'm not the only one heh.

[@cynicmanw]

Thank you for doing this cover

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks for listening. It's been a favourite track of mine for a long time.

[@davidliska2264]

Awesome! If you get the urge to do it again, another solid track from that game's album is 'Descent to Cerberon'... incorporated it into a Doom 2016 performance at the Game Awards that year with Sascha and Mick Gordon.

[@SiolfortheJackal]

The whole Quake 2 soundtrack lives rent free in my head, so I wouldn't be surprised if we do more eventually.

[@psycosulu]

Cello metal works rather well :D

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Metal is pretty versatile like that. Thanks!

[@ChromaticApparatus]

Glad I could supply some cronch! 😄😄

[@SiolfortheJackal]

The perfect cronch we needed.

[@TheCreepypro]

man did you make this sound good and good call with the cello I love that rock guitarist is friends with a guy who plays the cello

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Thanks! I love incorporating other instruments into my stuff, it always sounds better than just adding an extra guitar.

[@jesusisherelookbusy]

Fantastic cover!! 🤘

[@SiolfortheJackal]

@@jesusisherelookbusy Thanks! It's such a rad soundtrack

[@technomancer5449]

Holy shit. What a show! :D

*AWESOME!* 😎

Hell yeah, appreciated!

[@manueldavidgonzalezgayol2959]

Hi, may I ask what effect do you use for bass?

[@SiolfortheJackal]

For this song I used two. I used the trial version of BIAS FX 2 for the low end of the bass, and for the high end I used one called BassGrinderFree

[@manueldavidgonzalezgayol2959]

@@SiolfortheJackal Thank you, it could be useful for me, I'll check some info about them

[@TSE_WOODY]

Metal needs more Cello. Great instrument, can really up the “grand” sound

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Cheers! I totally agree. Cello has a really nice raw sound that fits in so well.

[@666bruv]

Why no pinkie?

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Are you asking why I don't use my pinky to play guitar? If so, it's because I'm shit at guitar 😆

[@666bruv]

@@SiolfortheJackal looks alright to me. A guitarist that toured with roger waters didn't use his pinkie
