Verdi | Requiem Meets Metal - Dies Irae

#classical #verdi #requiem #metal
Hi all!
Love starting the new year off with a classical tune (or a Romantic piece if you want to get technical). I've did my fair share of studying Verdi in school. His music is really super if you get a chance to give him a good listen, especially his operas. And from what I remember, he would have been even bigger in Italy and abroad if he wasn't a dick haha. There's transcriptions hanging around that he wasn't too pleasant to deal with and his personality was extremely disliked. Oh well haha, the man birthed some great music! As always, thanks so much for hangin around. You're the best. Hope your 2024 rocks! See you next week.
Much love

Symphonic metal is the natural evolution of classical symphony and opera; no one can tell me different. 🤘

[@331Erock]

10000% we fight together!!!

[@zlinedavid]

Nobody can tell you different, because you’re 🎯

[@ArgentumFox]

Definitely! Especially some composers, no one doubts that they would have been metalheads. Mussorgsky, for example.

[@kenosarawa]

@@ArgentumFox At a TSO show, I once referred to several classical composers as "wig-bangers", saying they would love the heavy metal / hard rock treatment of their work.

[@zlinedavid]

@@ArgentumFox Tchaikovsky would have been a metalhead for sure. When you use cannons as percussion, you’re already hardcore.

[@Counterbalance_]

This is perfect. I love all of your classic covers.

Please continues to reproduce great pieces of classical music! it's just amazing

Imagine all these great old masters having electric Instruments back then.

[@331Erock]

Would have been a scene 😂

[@IronRaven11666]

Q: Who would win if we could resurrect Vivaldi, Paganini, and Beethoven for a metal music competition? A: We all would! 😁

Verdi After Midnight or Bodom After Verdi? :)

[@JSRJS]

Amazing job!! I really enjoy listening and watching your videos. Curious....how long did it take you to learn this song from start to finish? (estimate in hours)?? Always wondered how long it takes someone at your level to learn a new song like this

[@331Erock]

@@JSRJS honestly it’s exactly like a day job, depending on the song - 30 to 40 hours a week ☺️☺️

[@331Erock]

@@JSRJS then again, I will admit I have perfectionist syndrome so I probably would take longer than most anyway

[@Petra.666]

Holey Moley, great job!!! I really love all your classical stuff!! Thank you so much Eric, for what you've given and continue to give to this world, you're an inexhaustible source of positivity and inspiration!! 🤘🖤🤘

[@sebastianevangelista4921]

The former because it's Verdi after having been given the Midnight treatment.

[@RealBelisariusCawl]

Every time I see someone (talented) do a metal cover of classical music it ALWAYS comes out amazing. More proof for me that if they were born 200 years later they’d have been MASSIVE metalheads. Any plans to cover Mozart’s Leck Mich I’m Arsche? Could be VERY funny.

Forget the modern, watered-down (and meaningless) uses of awesome; the Verdi Requiem is truly awesome, as in inspiring awe. Listening to a masterful performance is a truly transcendent experience. Thanks for a sample, giving it a modern interpretation. richard --
