"The Hot Wind Blowing" | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance | Post Hardcore Cover

[@jchristopherson]

Hey man - awesome cover and arrangement of this song! (I'm the composer of it)

[@MarkSchmidtTheRecoverySystem]

As soon as I saw your name, I nearly freaked out. Thank you so much!! I'm thrilled that you even heard it.

[@jchristopherson]

@@MarkSchmidtTheRecoverySystem yeah man - I like the structure and energy behind it, as well as some of the note changes to fit your style. Great job :)

[@memestealer6348]

OH MY GOD! JAMIE'S HERE!!! I just want to let you know (even if you don't see this), but Metal Gear Rising is one of my favorite games of all time and the music is so dynamically perfect thats its hard to imagine anything else fitting as well or being as good. Also cheers to you Mark on these excellent covers!

[@jchristopherson]

@@memestealer6348 I saw this and thank you. Have a rocking weekend! 😎🤘🎶

Fun fact: 0:18 isn't scripted, we are watching Mark loose his mind in real time

[@EmileA239_from_Halo_Reach]

When the world needed him most… he returned.

[@rozehn]

i unironically enjoy this more than the original I can’t even lie

[@ryatt9365]

I first heard it before playing the game and was shocked that it wasn’t the original. Genuinely one of the best covers I’ve ever heard.

[@erikrose2803]

I like your high notes you pull off. It suits the song much better imo.

[@amohotepv]

Mark Schmidt proving he's the best artist covering songs on KZbin as usual.

[@hellothere4964]

Man i can't wait for this, your covers are some of the best.

[@themrmoki]

The most anticipated cover of The Hot Wind is Blowing turns out to be the best (in my opinion). Fucking *amazing.*

[@hillmushrooms]

I do think that this song will be fire, but it sucks that Mark didn't want to make this cover.

[@MarkSchmidtTheRecoverySystem]

That was the case at first. I didn't want to keep doing MGRR, stuff cause I was overwhelmed with how many requests I was getting for the soundtrack. I'm okay putting out a crowd pleaser here and there, but I want to have to time to do what I want as well. It's mostly me just setting a boundary. I don't want it to seem like I don't appreciate all of you, I'm just a terribly anxious person 😅

[@SonicPrimus]

​@@MarkSchmidtTheRecoverySystem Don't worry about it man! You keep doing your thing. We love you MGR covers, but your original stuff is quite well made too! Hell, if anything, mixing your original stuff with a cover here and there would boost your viewership even further and allow you to do covers without burning out from doing one cover after another.

[@gorillabean5029]

We all know this gonna be fire, the last song finna be the best song

[@SamuelWright-j6o]

2:19 I thought you said “We are the Desert”

Ok that was actually epic, awesome work man

[@lovomileen529]

Best song in the soundtrack by the guy who does the best covers! Hooray!

Gotta be my favourite itteration of the hot wind blowing! Fuckin' good job man.

Legit my favorite metal gear rising boss theme. and now my favorite artist. thanks for making this cover Mark.

[@ze3us577]

Very underated artist

[@starshinehero]

Awesome cover. It's good to see you putting so much passion into your work. Your vocals keep blowing me away with their power.

[@massimomezzalira704]

I'll be honest these covers of yours are Kuality! They are always in my workout mix,like this one will be!

Such a good cover..! The post hardcore chorus at the end fits so well

[@godofedge2865]

The most powerful cover i have heard. Loved it, keep up the good work!

[@prolintic6009]

Severely underrated for my favorite MGR soundtrack

[@SonicPrimus]

Nicely done once again Mark! Honestly, in a lot of ways this is better than the official version! These MGR covers have been absolutely phenomenal. I've also heard some of your original works and I am definitely going to follow whatever music project you take up next. I also hope we'll see more MGR covers sprinkled in every once in a blue moon.

[@gonemaddog]

holy shit that last chorus is insane!

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

Is it alright with you if I download and post this video on Reddit? Of course, all credit would go to you. I'm just blown away by how amazing this cover is and feel that it deserves like an anime opening cinematic that goes with it, so by sharing it, I'm hoping more people subscribe to you.

As long as you link the KZbin video, I'm okay with that.

Man I thought you were done with MGR, as long as you wanted to do it I'm happy that you've returned. If not, my sympathies that you were pressured. that's not cool.

[@MarkSchmidtTheRecoverySystem]

Before, I was just terribly overwhelmed by all the "do this song" and "do that song." So I refused at first. After the dust settled a bit, I found myself willing. Not to mention, I'm holding some hope it'll be good for my viewership and Spotify streams.
