I caught myself screaming “GOOOOOOO” 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Awesome

[@enemy_ofthe_sun]

Ha! Same!

[@juggaberglund]

Yeah me too 🤘

[@Dr.Quarex]

Absolutely. I was excited to do it from the moment I clicked hahahha

[@jsviktor5]

yeee

[@robcarrier1969]

Might I suggest a tent at a festival, with afternoon tea and Catherine playing metal tunes in the corner - would be awesome.

[@apg8685]

I would mosh at this regardless of the piano and the tea

[@Critical_Stinking]

I worked as local crew for At the Gates. I'm glad I only had to load in guitars and drums.. No pianos haha. Awesome 👍💪

[@BalashToth]

At The Gates's genre is "beautiful death metal". Thanks you.😊

[@valaarion3959]

Pulling out some classic At the Gates.... It just shows the versatility of Metal and the people who write these songs.

[@rustyshackleford4059]

Your Heartwork cover led me to this one.. I screamed "Go" like some others have. \m/

[@bejardani]

This is beyond insane for me. See and listen to At the gates, my greatest melodic death metal band favorite, covered in such a masterful way and exquisite performance deserves an ovation

[@catherinefearns1328]

Thank you 😊🙏

[@viktorhaga7157]

Great performance, keep up the metal covers. Looking forward to your next video, could you perhaps do a Dissection cover?

[@DerRabenbarde]

YES, that's what I was about to suggest! :D

[@ericnittolo5705]

I CAN LISTEN TO THIS FOR HOURS ON END

[@mikesweet9991]

Metal Hammer brought me here, Slaughter of the Soul got me to stay. That opening riff is such a thing of beauty, even played on piano it loses zero punch. Six seconds of guitar work that doubtless inspired dozens if not hundreds of bands to give it a shot. Definitely caught me letting out a hearty GO. Thank you for this

[@deceiver444]

Heaviness and delicacy. Beautiful rendition and fantastic piano skills.

[@butcher2263]

I played this for my mom and she loved it, I told her what it was and she said "classical music was the original heavy metal"😂

[@TheSledgehammer2024]

Yes it was... The mainstream thinks it was Jazz which isn't accurate...

[@naturalianoss]

just because it is played on a piano it doesn’t make it classical music . this is a shallow way to think about classical music .people need to educate themselves before talking and acting clever .for real

[@butcher2263]

I didn't call it classical music my mom did, you want me to tell her to educate herself

[@TheSledgehammer2024]

@@butcher2263 She said nothing wrong. Metal is more influence by classical music based on many different elements - starting with the fact that its creatively complex which isn't for typical dancing.

[@TheSledgehammer2024]

@@naturalianoss I didn't say or think its classical music. I think composers like Ludwig Von Beethoven (for example) were like the Heavy Metal people of their time. He had his symphonies go from soft to real fast (presto) on some of his work.

[@Patrick-mg3jp]

Duuuude, this sounds awesome. We need a piano metal band just piano and drums and bass and vocals of course.

[@alejandrorodriguez-do7rj]

as a fan of all extreme metal for 30 something years this is amazing it got to piano

[@Bartcore]

I never would've thought that At The Gates on piano sounds like The Legend Of Zelda battle music, but it does!

[@mosthatedminnesotan]

This is one of the first death metal songs I ever learned! Transfers quite well to piano! Great job!

[@Kate-fn4zu]

This has touched me on an emotional level. I absolutely love this. Thank you for this.

[@EmanueleFerro]

I'm a very Big fan of At the Gates and Slaughter of the Soul is in my top 10 favourite albums! 🤟 I really enjoyed your interpretation with lots of variations in dynamics and the guitar solo played on piano that's really cool to hear! 🤟🤟 ROCK ON!!! 🤟🤟

[@markslade6744]

I've been directed onto your feed, Catherine, via an article in Metal Hammer. Your interpretations are absolutely remarkable, not least of all your version of Cannibal Corpse's "Scourge Of Iron". I'd gladly pay good money for an album of your covers.

[@catherinefearns1328]

oh thank you so much - new covers coming soon! Didn't know I was in Metal Hammer haha!

[@dying_allthetime]

I found out via an article in Louder Sound. Small world. Also, this is epic🤘🤘🤘

[@GODHATESADOPTION]

​@@catherinefearns1328do you transpose these to include all instruments?

[@catherinefearns1328]

@@GODHATESADOPTION hello! I try to incorporate as much of the instrumentation as possible - it’s a fun technical challenge - not all metal songs work well for piano

[@IgorEngelen1974]

Man, that focus, the eyes moving from the keys to the paper again. wow!

[@BelgianDoomer]

please play this at my funeral

[@DanielGarcia-uq7vu]

it's nice to keep this song being kept alive as it was one of my favorites growing up. Keep up the good work!

[@icetraex]

Wow, really added your own flare with some very tasteful additional flavor, bravo

this is the coolest cover ive ever heard.. holy f***

I just love your piano versions. Nothin easy and stil perfect!

[@suleyman2768]

1:02 when you played that melody from the high octave to low octave right after, and transitioned it with arpeggios with your left hand I almost lost my mind

[@NMViking2]

That was amazing! I love At The Gates and that was a very impressive cover of one of their greatest songs. Phenomenal talent!

[@RugoGaming]

Wow, love it! Haven't heard that song in YEARS!

[@DaviDuarteRocha]

Thanks for sharing this… make my day!

[@mumbleb666]

You are calling out to all the metal heads across the world and capturing our attention, great work and killing it 🤘

[@tomide]

Perfect. One of Crowbar's more melodic songs like "Lasting Dose" or "Planets collide" would also sound nice converted to piano, I believe.

[@3inherjar]

I think my mind was blown while the mind was blowing up.

[@krzysztoftomasz5395]

Now this sounds like something out of a pirate movie. All aboard! Aye aye captain

[@nixon3295]

🔥🔥🔥

[@tmp1k]

Holy shit 😳did you also do the arrangement? This is incredible wow hats off amazing 👍🏻

[@drfeelgood6646]

Amazing skills ! This song is kinda fun to play on guitar, piano version seems to be a bit more difficult. I wonder if it is possible ot perform such complicated songs like "Nameless, faceless, neverborn" from Martyr. Also would love to hear your piano version of "Textures" by Cynic PLEASE :)

[@TrevorDixon879]

Incredible

[@tommcmahon3200]

BRAVO!! 🌹🌹🌹So awesome to hear music transposed from a brutal tonal setting into the lighter setting of a solo piano performance - really highlights the incredible depth of the music (which is why I love metal)

[@NecropsY1]

wow this is so good - you should have 10m views

[@catherinefearns1328]

oh thank you!

This was an incredible performance! I think the song was a fantastic choice for a piano cover because the original is melodic.

[@ildikoagnes]

[@Sparkedone]

Utterly amazing!

[@TonyMullet]

You should do The Black Dahlia Murder, you're very talented.

[@catherinefearns1328]

Thanks - yes I’ve had a few requests for Black Dahlia Murder, might try them next!

[@CyphersBasement]

Off of merit alone, I'm subscribing. I don't know really any of the bands you're covering, have covered, so on and so forth, but I like Metal, Piano, and Pretty Ladies. The skill on display is a sight to behold, and I'm here for it. Here's to a MAJESTIC 2024!

[@hectorlicious]

I never thought a piano cover would ever make me want to head bang so hard!

[@steeldrumsolace]

Mind blown

[@cmd_f5]

Fantastic. ATG on piano = just as brutal and intense as the electric version. :D I'd love to hear some Disavowed or Defeated Sanity covers. Their style of riffing and writing would translate super cool I think.

[@rafsinger6686]

This is the kind of stuff I've been waiting for

[@zacharyseibert4526]

Wow, spectacular.

[@MegAdethWayne]

So talented! Excellently executed!

Whooooooooooooooooa!

I'm headbanging to this lol

[@koikarp3490]

Not exactly the death metal feel that I listen to ATG for, but its definitely something

[@MrThrash3d]

Beatufiul! More death metal please .. and a hard request too .. Would it be possible to do a piano version of Vektor's Recharging the Void?

[@theJourneynfc]

noh. so good!
