That first acoustic break is AMAZING... Brought tears to my eyes

[@DarKKnightt07]

As an huge fan Of the Donkey Kong games and heavy metal, this is absolutely incredible.

[@The8BitDrummer]

Wow... No words man! This is absolutely Amazing!!!

[@nickkohlmann]

Damn! Seeing you here

[@Mushrumors0621]

8bitdrummer clearly knows his stuff.

[@NintendoCoreDuo]

Man I've listened to this cover at least 15000 times. I listen to it every day when I go to work and I never get tired of it. I can honestly say that this is, in my opinion, the best VGM cover on youtube. I wish you all the best man and keep up the great work!

[@nickkohlmann]

I too wonder.

[@mathewg1747]

Rooster Island on Wind Waker has a nice metal cover out there too

[@BunnyAssassin]

Here's your reminder to listen to it again 🎶

[@RichaadEB]

so, so very good man. Your solos are so damn tastefulllllllllllllllll

[@TwoBitSpecialist]

Your version is great too!

[@emansfvera]

8 years ago i heard this and i still come back to listen to it, thanks for uploading your stuff to spotify my man.🤘

[@Pathos312]

Literally the most insane version of the song I've come across. Amazingly well done and this is 7 years BEFORE the one I just watched you play. From one musician to another, you're talented. Never let the light extinguish as it was a gift given to you!

[@hendrikmostert3305]

Some of the purest and most soulful metal I've heard in my life. You, Sir, are a legend.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

So heavy! Sweet solo too!

[@ToxicxEternity]

Thanks!

[@DSC24]

That intro was the most amazing thing I've heard in a long time. This definitely inspired me a little bit.

[@Korafoya]

It's different to hear a metal cover of this song. I'm amazed that you tackled the song in this way since most people would just go for a slower acoustic version. Rock on dude.

[@mattdu3rds117]

Wish I had a metal setting for all the music in every game I own

[@RottenPinky]

If there's someone who deserves to be heard in the realm of VGM metal covers, it's you man. Also, I love your band Singularity!

[@d3-ll754]

When I saw 'Metal' on a cover of Aquatic Ambience, I thought, "Oh God, this can't end well". I can say I was pleasantly surprised.

[@yuriridley8144]

Metal always ends well.

[@logancook6262]

Best there is. Plain and simple. You can go home tell your wife your kids hell tell your dog. Idc post a facebook post about it. Best there is plain and simple. 😂

[@nickkohlmann]

@@logancook6262 This.

[@relaxalax]

May I use this for a video? It's, like, perfect for the atmosphere I'm trying to create. Ofcourse I'll link this video and whatnot. This cover is amazing.

[@MortimerTheMortified]

+RelaxAlax BURN DIDDY KONG

[@mann-nova9392]

AND DIDDY DIED.

[@MudhutStudiosOfficial]

And next day Diddy Kong died!

[@mamacrow2759]

your link is botched btw

[@pattirussell8264]

Oh hi RelaxAlax!

[@dylanhardina]

That was perfect! It got the mood of the original, but added a heavy ballad quality. You could feel a melancholy feeling backed up a pounding groove.

[@jonathanparecki]

Perfectly captured the ambiance part! Sick mix, I like how everything sounds so powerful yet has its own space to be audible~

[@ToxicxEternity]

Thanks man! It was pretty challenging to get everything to work well together

[@ToxicxEternity]

Drop C Thanks for checking out my channel!

[@thewizardninja]

That was an A+ arrangement, you should be super proud of this one. The choice to work in the acoustic guitars was a good one, really pulled everything back and added the softness and ambiance the original song had, allowing you to build to something heavier later without it feeling like too much or out of place. It reminded me a lot of some of Metallica's metal ballads. The mix was good too, everything had its own little audio space, leaving you with a nice and full sound. I'd love to see you try and take this approach with Stickerbrush Symphony.

[@CloverFuchs]

Seconding Stickerbrush Symphony! PLEASE

[@diarykeeper]

Pretty much all of his arrangements are flawless (*absolutely flawless plays in head...*) He must be a wizard...

[@FluffyKiri]

All I can say, this was beautifully made. I even love the acoustic parts. When it comes to most of the metal music, it's usually overdone with distortions and solos. After hearing this, I can tell you put a lot of practice and effort into making this. It was very pleasing to listen to, and I can relax to it and even enjoy it. It has the perfect balance of heavy and melodic tones. Keep up your amazing work! ♥

[@DannLink]

Best arrangement ever of Aquatic Ambience, oh, and another thing, I told you this in every video, I know, but as always I need to say PERFECT! :') Mixing, Arrangement, Performance, Tones, Acoustic Guitar, everything was so damn good.

[@ToxicxEternity]

Thanks Dann. I appreciate it very much :)

[@argi4141]

Agreed. It is the best. Peeps really haven't done this music justice.

[@NelsonRomaine]

Unreal. So damn good. Thank you for making this, my ears needed to hear it. Sending to everyone I know who likes metal.

[@DiegoAlcardeAdv]

Meu Deus, insano cara!! Obrigado pela homenagem ao meu jogo favorito de infância

[@JoeSmoe1]

Brazil! ♥

[@Tiagorm223]

insano mesmo 😱😱😱

[@tyrel5150]

I wouldn’t have thought such an entrancing track could be given this treatment and sound more fleshed out than any cover I’ve heard. Stellar job!

[@adonisalves7198]

Insane

[@nickkohlmann]

Fantastic every time I listen to it.

[@bboynoe]

Fucking INCREDIBLE!! Gah! That was so good! The mix was top notch! The acoustic part got me when it kicked in. Do moar DKC!

[@joejokool]

I'M OFFICIALLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE CONTENT OF THIS CHANNEL . .

[@AndinCamargos]

Awesome man, the distortion guitar lead and rythm acoustic guitar is beautiful! Subed for more Video Game Metal!!!

[@ToxicxEternity]

Thanks for the sub!

[@taajuuskone]

Here from AGDQ! This song is a banger!

[@b2rda]

I can't imagine how anyone can dislike this cover.

[@Flare8295]

Its only got 5 dislikes

[@RoPanuganti]

God one of my favorites and easily one of the best renditions ever. Just groovin dude.

[@ToxicxEternity]

Means a lot man thank you!

[@andrependleton7242]

Awesomely radical performance!

[@JohnStortz]

Of all the video game guitarists out there, I find myself coming back to your covers the most. You bring a certain soul to everything you create. The talent is top notch, of course! But the heart behind it is what makes your covers that much more. Take care.

[@jross76775]

epic bro. i drive to this on rainy days

[@pabloespina841]

For me the best metal cover of all the DKC aquatic ambiance! Great job!

[@Hells6bells]

Swiggles is right. Easily one of the best renditions of this song. Your Donkey Kong covers are always top notch.

[@ToxicxEternity]

Thanks dude :)

[@Bruno410086]

I could listen to this for hours!! Magnificent work, congratulations!!

[@zippedmouthgaming5637]

KZbin just recently recommended this to me and I've been a fan of yours since I got your Mt. Moon cover in 2016. I love this. You really always have been great, huh?

[@NintendoCoreDuo]

Soooo smooth and clean :D This is by far the best Aquatic Ambience rendition I've ever heard.

[@nepnep5853]

Now do Stickerbrush Symphony :D

[@diarykeeper]

Yes! Fav DKC song :)

[@frostfiredemon]

That level the stickerbush was in was hard

[@douglane3962]

bro.... you are quickly becoming one of my favorite guitarists. your work is just utterly breathtaking

[@Xunkar]

I've listened to a lot of video game covers over the years, but you sir are the best by far. This is the work of a talented musician and boy has it been a while since I heard one, thank you!

[@designson]

This is one of my favorite video game songs. And you beyond killed it. Great job man. Easily getting 100 views from me haha.

[@TwoBitSpecialist]

Love this cover. Amazing stuff.

[@pjellyme]

Spent hours looking for guitar solos one night and came across this. I cant explain my thoughts, but this is the only thing i found with any real soul to it. Although u were stoic during the solo, the $h!t was moving and i had to replay many times. Thanks for posting.

[@dainer108]

that was the best aquatic ambience remix I've ever heard. & I heard over 30 of them I take my hat off to you you are truly talented

[@ST0NEDC0LD]

I must say, out of all the aquatic ambience covers, (and there is a lot of them) your's is by far the best one. Keep up the good work man.

[@Jesscaaaa0]

I'm possibly, actually in love with this cover. Like since TRG Colosseum, I found you and Jules and this is easily the best of the very best of all the songs I've listened to from both of you this week. I keep coming back to this after hearing it live. I. Can't. Stop.

[@RawkHawkRockin]

That was awesome man. The acoustic part totally makes the song.

[@Castorxd635]

This is absolutely amazing! I even modded it into Smash 4. Kongo Jungle 64 was the only stage I thought fitting for this arrangement, but now that's my favorite stage to play and it's thanks to this masterpiece! I think I could put it on a legal stage instead, but I don't know which one. Again, insane cover, man!

[@eurotrashy2333]

This is seriously amazing. You've done a tremendous job covering a huge range of video game tracks from a lot of peoples childhoods. Rock on Toxic 🤘

[@AzhturionMX]

OMFG I had goosebumps, chicken skin and nice memories. Awesome remix :D

[@Save_Train]

ok imma be real. Im not really into rock music. Only listen to one or two songs of Chris Daughtry once or twice every two years, or video game music is the only rock I get. ........you slammed the crap out of this! This is without a doubt my favorite song that OCRemix has posted. You are up there with FamilyJules7X. Keep doing your thing man. Keep the shredding going broski!

[@Furber216]

Nice selection, DKC has such a classic soundtrack and I think this is the best song in the whole series. Seems like it would be hard to make it metal and still retain the same feeling of the original song, but you managed to balance all the elements of the music very well. Good job

[@vinogorje21]

The BEST version on youtube! What a nice work of art!

[@jamminkeys]

2:57 so epic!

[@bssin910]

Hands down my favorite version I've come across! Very well done!

[@jelyse14]

as soon as I made it to the 1 minute mark I was really surprised by the shift. I LOVE this vibe!

[@dmangamer2697]

i've always loved the underwater theme from "Donkey Kong" country and this is truly amazing

[@MetallixKnight]

Usually I'm of the opinion that metal covers of this particular song just don't work. Probably because most of them forget the _Ambience_ part, to their severe detriment. You've put yourself above most of the covers I've heard by intelligently mixing the softness of the original with some face-melting. That acoustic tone in particular almost made me weep.

[@NIneDJcali]

THIS SOUNDS SOOOO FUCKING GOOD!! The harmony in this cover sound so GAWDLIKE!

[@BHVM27]

It is insane how good this is. A fabulous piece of music and a great cover 🔥

[@GroundMemory]

Dude... I am completely speechless... You’ve got my subscription, man. Seriously, I’m completely blown away.

[@JohnnyDarko01]

Really killed it with this one man. One of your best vids

[@luliby2309]

This is sooooooooo good! This should seriously inspire a new style of dreamy metal.

[@ThalassemiacLord]

I knew this was going to be incredible just from the title. When you brought in the lead to the acoustic I went nuts. A++, been following your work since gobi's valley.

[@ToxicxEternity]

Thanks for the continuous support :)

[@hunkertoe]

I am not one to comment much, but I just had to say that this is, without a doubt, the best VG cover on KZbin. Keep up the good work man!

[@CloverFuchs]

Some of the smoothest metal I've ever heard. What you do with your guitars is beautiful.

[@heavenbounddeath32]

Out of all the versions of this song I've heard this one is in the top 3 for the best covers

[@ProjectGenesisMusic]

Liking that rhythm tone its very clear. The first acoustic part reminds me of Careless Whisper for some reason haha. Exquisite job guy!

[@Narutokun1545]

This is, hands down, the best metal cover of this song.

[@Narutokun1545]

Superb guitar solo.

[@RypticVODS]

Been on repeat. One of my favorite songs off the soundtrack. Amazing cover, man. Keep it up!

[@davidward9550]

I don't know how you did it, but this song feels like it was made recently and not 7 years ago. Your slower songs have always been my favorite but this is insane!

[@thisisfyne]

3:24 One of the best fucking thing I've ever heard in a video game song cover

[@TS-gl1qw]

love your music, at 1:38 the guitar is coming so smooth

[@darknight1220]

Bro this song just fucking Jams, its so chill and full of emotion idk I love it

[@NickMan7X]

This was amazing. Loved the acoustic parts. :)

[@meriQX]

Another amazing cover!

[@xtnpxjakeo]

You pulled off those squeals perfectly, so sick dude!

[@SamsarasArt]

You did something I don't think I've ever seen done with the metal genre. You evoke a feeling of peaceful ambience in a metal song. Wonderful work.

[@chicocallejeroelcoleccioni7041]

The best metal cover of the donkey kong country ever!!! That song is amazing i renember when i played that game in super nintendo console 21 years ago .

[@TheCreepypro]

definitely one of the best covers of this fine song!

[@r3nsk1]

I love all of your covers where you bring in / combine with the acoustic. This, Dragon Roost Island, Crashed Frigate... All in my Toxicx top-top favorites :) High quality stuff for sure. Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@hknux5112]

Thing just randomly popped up on my KZbin Music app. I had to see what the name of the song and who the channel was. Holy crap, good stuff.

[@xk2102]

Amazing work like this should definitely be included in a future Smash Bros game. I can very easily imagine playing a DK stage in super smash bros with this track. Same with the Star Fox medley. Thank you for sharing this :)

[@ToxicxEternity]

My pleasure. Thank you! :)

[@Regretted]

Such a good arrangement and mix. These are the kind of covers I hope to be able to do in the future

[@AyeeKyro]

So in love with this cover

[@eN1X]

I think this is your best cover. I can't stop listening to it!

[@davidalexandermurillogavir6283]

Dude! i love this game and i know how inspiring is this soundtrack. During the whole video i was like O______0 Awesome medley and tuning. I liked the part of the solo you applied. Thanks for sharing (Y)

[@cavedwarf91]

To learn you covers is my everest. And i will never give up. Thank you for your great work and inspiration.

[@94Stones]

That intro was superb! The rest of the cover was fakkin sweet too!

[@crucialblue]

One of my favorite video game tracks of all time, and arranged on guitar makes it even better! Great job on this!!

[@shade041]

This is by far the best mix I've ever heard of any DKC songs. Well done my friend.

[@exilehunter907music]

My absolute favorite cover of all time

[@iambedlam]

That acoustic is fucking amazing. Great work buddy!

[@mariussmartm8351]

This earned you a sub man, great arrangement!

[@tetohh12]

This is the best version I’ve heard so far.

[@deadarm1531]

Dude. Freaking sick. Amazing how you balanced everything. The acoustic action was gorgeous, went super hard, crazy clean. Man, keep it up 🤘

[@6metal6legend6]

That was an amazing rendition. Nice blend of metal and acoustic. And there was some really tasty licks in your piece too. This tune is such a beautiful masterpiece in and of itself.

[@ExplodingMusicSyndrome]

Mate that was so good!! SUbbed all day long mate. Epic
