Disturbingly underrated channel

[@epicscores8421]

Feel free to share anything from my channel.

[@bigsquatch]

I don't understand you you don't have more subs. Lots of people love Sabaton, and you turn great Sabaton songs into a piece of art on par with the original, and possibly even better. You deserve way more subs.

[@SealWithAGlock]

@@epicscores8421 thank you for all the work you do, I can't imagine how much work goes into what you do, and you have some seriously good skill. your music makes my streams and videos actually interesting, I play SOOO much better when I feel like a total badass with this music playing in the background. I love all the work you do. and without it, I would just be uploading (mostly) silent recordings of me sitting there and occasionally commenting on how trash my team is. -sincerely one happy boi.

'Till the dawn, they hold on Only forty are left at the end None alive, none survive, *SHIROYAMA!*

[@johngonzales8535]

I wrote the lyrics in Smg4...

[@firenzarfrenzy4985]

"Orchestral" is a great genre to cover under So undervalued, it makes everything so much more impactful and bold. It has the power to give any song the same powerful soul of classical songs We need more of this

[@BNJT]

The Last Samurai movie is based on the battle in this song

[@epicscores8421]

Yes.

[@StarfishCenturionGaming]

very observant

[@daxtonwotb7276]

damn is only sabaton knew there song was so inspirational someone made a movie about it

[@eden7622]

Correct, and I feel it necessary to mention that the character Tom Cruise plays was, in reality, French. Not American like the movie presents

[@Faust98]

"the soldiers at thermopylae?" "to the last man..." this was moving.

[@elijahlurton3570]

Why isn’t this channel 10x more recognized??? Beyond underrated

That is honestly extremely good and on Hollywood level!

[@somerandomsniper5156]

IMPERIAL, FORCE DEFIED! FACING FIVE HUNDRED SAMURAI!

[@intoxicatedbeard9635]

Amazing as always! I have always hoped for a Shiroyama cover. And you delivered!

[@epicscores8421]

Thank you!!

Pootis

[@ronaldostrowski4014]

This is great, but for another musical presentation of this Sabaton song there is an awesome female vocal cover as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6vSgJihnJife7c

[@johannschwarz5293]

​@@epicscores8421 Someone like Wednesday Addams would maybe play this track on her cello. Or a componist like Hans Zimmer for an epic movie.

[@alexamerling79]

Bushido dignified It's the last stand of the samurai!

[@Draftsman17]

This quite possibly the most epic thing I have ever heard... I can totally see something like the mighty Yamato making her last stand to this track

[@epicscores8421]

Im glad you like it!

[@FennKitFox]

MAN OF WAR ORCHESTRALLLLLLLLLLLL XD (This cover Was amazing One of my favorite Sabaton songs)

[@animepsyclone]

Shiroyama is my favorite Sabaton song, glad to see you made something as epic as the original!

[@anime4life209]

i'm a side line writer and my one character Miyu Tatsu (her name translates roughly to Beautiful Night Dragon, Dragon who dances in the Moon light etc.) is modeled off of the samurai. she has a dark past as a mercenary and isn't proud of it, but due to her code of honor she is loyal to those who she has made a contract with, no matter what their morals are. i've made this her theme song and am gonna have a "Blaze of Glory" chapter dedicated soley towards her later on. every time i listen to this song the ideas just start going about what i'm gonna do for that chapter.

[@joeysonofander7479]

@Anime4Life That sounds really cool.

[@rosenrot2804]

dayum it's good

[@grimacethedrummer8378]

For some odd reason (I know it has nothing to do with the subject matter for the song) but this song makes me think of Transformers for some reason especially arranged in such a way

[@eriadin]

Sabaton is created to play with an orchestra.

[@madhouse_yt3469]

the samurai vs the japanese empire, an epic clash, swords vs rifles, armor vs cannons

[@sovietapples6122]

The chorus part sounds really good.

[@IceLordCryo]

oh my god how is this not more viewed!!! THIS IS EPIC!!!

[@epicscores8421]

Thanks IceLordCryo

[@erikakutsuki5333]

You never make a bad cover they are the best, I hope you make the last battle next, keep the amazing work!!

[@epicscores8421]

Thanks mate!

[@quigongym5206]

Do a redo of winged hussars like this because your last version lacked the power this has

[@epicscores8421]

It lacks better mix, winged hussars can sound exactly like this but it needs new mixing and mastering.

[@quigongym5206]

Nemanja Jovanovic yes that's what I was saying it needs to be mixed again and have a few percussion lines added to live up to the power of the hussars

[@FUnazis]

I agree! You have improved over time; which is something completely natural and a very good thing :D I also think you should do a new version of winged hussars; I really love the original song and I also love your orchestral covers! So glad I found this channel, liked and subscribed!

[@user-sf7or2fn3x]

Это просто волшебно. Сильнейшая песня с сильнейшим подтекстом обрела ЭПИЧНЕЙШУЮ версию. Не хочу говорить за всех, но когда я слушаю её, то воображение рисует ту самую битву при Сирояме... Лайк!!!

Cool for new Kung fu panda we are wating fice years now

[@ekdeimos]

I am going to have this playing when my three teams of players all converge on the city of Astamir to try to wrest it from the Dark King Damien Astamiri and defeat the Mystaran Death Shadows. (Think a group of highly trained mages, ninja, and samurai)

[@Shytzedaka]

I can hear Joakim singing faintly in the back of my mind. This is criminally under-viewed

[@UzananOyuncu]

cool

[@nekro0072]

Nice job brother

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

You never disappoint! This is just amazing. This also got me thinking of not just samurais, but various warriors (knights, Greeks, musketeers, Rajput, vikings, etc) coming together to fight against one massive force from a villainous opposition. That'll be one hell of an RPG group.

[@epicscores8421]

Villains better never show up because they would be fighting unbeatable force.

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

Well what I'm thinking is that the villains do what they can, but a heroic team like this would certainly meet their match or something. The villains fight on but the good guys prevail to their heroic, warrior valor spirit and camaraderie ;)

[@DJRainbowToxic]

@@NegiTaiMetal011 make a game about it,sounds amazing,warriors vs an evil force.

[@carolusrex2406]

You deliver some of the best content on this site :D

[@epicscores8421]

Thank you! :

[@AleksanderPeryt]

I really appreciate the few more notes that you added during the refrain, the original one was somewhat lacking in my opinion. Your cover sounds magnificent.

[@sovietapples6122]

The chorus sounds really epic

[@AlexIndependence]

this god damn awesome channel needs more subs D:

[@stephenscribbles]

I prefer this version to the original. Thank you for this piece of art!

[@cyanidetaco759]

It's the nature of time...

[@gaborungvari3558]

Oh, and could you tell us a few words about technical stuff? E.g. what software(s) do you use for arranging, composing, mixing your music... or maybe some music theory stuff that is helpful for these covers?

[@epicscores8421]

It really depends,most work is done in Reaper (it doesnt really matter,most DAWS provide same results,you just choose one that you are comfortable working in), instruments also depends on song,for hard orchestra i use Orchestral Essentials (Kontakt 5). String Ensembles are from EWQL gold edition (older covers are done with Silver edition), most string ensembles are created by me because i dont like one that comes with program. Drums are most interesting in my opinion, drums that you hear are not regular orchestral drum ensemble, i use war drums (EWQL) I dont have routine for mixing that i always follow, it really depends. Sometimes it works one way, sometimes another.Mixing is most exhausting, i always try few mixes and listen to it milion times before i decide which sounds best. Composing part,i always learn song on guitar first and then rearange it for other instruments.Then i create MIDI tracks and work on them untill they sound realistic.If you leave MIDI as it is it will just sound unnatural. Anyway,practice makes it perfect, check my older covers (Resist and bite) and you will notice progress that i made over time. I hope you can understand this haha (English is not my first language)
