Xenoblade X - Black Tar - Metalcore Cover

[@KadeKalka]

What do you think about the arrangement and mix? I tried out some different stuff on this one, so I just wanted know if it sounded good or not.

[@nyx3659]

For me it sounds really good With the tempo variations and the others stuff

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks!

[@JCDadalus]

All of it is awesome! I love how you go from the battle theme to Skell battle and it fits the mech theme. Your version is SO much better than the original. The original sounds too anime style. This is what a TRUE sci fi Mech battle theme should sound like.

[@mumkhar7892]

Can you do vision reacts from Xenoblade Chronicles or Zanza?

[@TrueAfricanHero]

I really wish black tar wasn’t such a meme song, it’s actually one of my favorite songs right now. Really awesome job on the remix.

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks! Definitely one of my favorites from X (and Sawano's stuff in general).

[@cardboardtubeknight]

It's not a meme

[@dragoonmk4203]

We're getting a Definitive Edition with this one!!!

[@KadeKalka]

i know!!!!! so hype!

[@TheCreepypro]

a most excellent version of this song

[@ikennasmash1030]

I don't think I'm familiar with metalcore but I know I like this take on Black Tar. Great job!

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@Gameboy2007-Official]

I think black tar was already metalcore-ish except for there not being guitar in some sections that could have it

[@KadeKalka]

@Gameboy-2007-yt ye, it's pretty metalcore and VERRRYY nu-metal haha

[@Eddiegames9]

I love the intro, the keyboard and bass sound so good

[@XenoSound]

Sounds great!! I really like the range of expression in this, and the "chorus" moments really stand out and hit hard!

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks! I like to keep stuff varied without getting rid of what makes the original good (hopefully). Glad you like it! :D

[@ZoharEmulator]

Can't believe it's been 2 years already since you uploaded this. It's still lit though

[@superleandean]

Yo this is pretty awesome man This tune sounds so good as metalcore 👌

[@KadeKalka]

Heck yeah, thank you!

[@DcapoVGM]

Holy shit, this is a fantastic arrangement. Loving the guitar tone in this and the drums are really great. Love the mix as well. Everything is clear and impactful. Well done!

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks, Daniel! It means a lot, because I've really been trying to make my mixes come out better.

[@JCDadalus]

@3:00 when the SKELL shows up

[@sonic67768]

1:55

[@ZoharEmulator]

Sounds perfect! The mix is really clean, tones are on point, and the arrangement itself rocks (or actually, it djents)! My favourite part was the breakdown and reprise of the chorus at 3:35, could listen to it for hours. Also, you uploading this after yesterday's announcement is just the icing on the cake :D

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks, man! I was super proud of this mix, so I'm glad you liked it! I've probably mentioned this before, but I get all my tones with STL Ignite (which is a free plugin!!). And yeah, it's a total coincidence that I uploaded this after the announcement lol. I was already mostly done with the cover before I saw it.

[@ZoharEmulator]

@@KadeKalka Yeah, I shall definitely try Ignite, it sounds amazing. Gotta say, I was expecting an X porting to be announced yesterday, not an XB1 remake... I'm still hyped af though.

[@GuitarBoyAdvance]

Great arrangement man, techno entrance to solid metal !

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks, man!

[@Hashel]

Wow dude, this is super good! Love your lead tones, excellent playing and mix, sounds so pro! Well done :D

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks! I'm finally starting to put more effort into my lead tones, so I'm glad it's making a difference. :D

[@Hashel]

@@KadeKalka Does sound really good man!

[@obamaorb7426]

Damn this is good

[@KadeKalka]

Thank you, orbular form of Obama, I really appreciate it. :)

[@xenobladefan7440]

Love it

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks, man!

[@ernitis1304]

Finally. Someone did it. I thank you.

[@Royboy140]

Solid Shit man, XBCX gets a bad rap but I think its honestly got some real good stuff going for it like some strong parts of its soundtrack for example. Definitely better than 2. Keep it up!

[@KadeKalka]

Thanks Roy! I've never played 2, but replaying X recently has made me really appreciate it. The combat and exploration are so fun. Story sucks if you've already played it tho.

[@S41t4r4]

@Aidan Washburn It was uniformally hated, mostly by people that didn't have a WiiU. The recent love is mostly from the same people who want another subpar and overpriced port for the switch

[@ultimatedumbass4640]

I like 2 alot more than 1 myself, never played X but the ost is really making me want to.

[@Royboy140]

@@ultimatedumbass4640 I think if you've enjoyed 1 & 2 there's no reason for you to not try X, its gameplay loop is just a LOT of Xenoblade so if you enjoy that you'll like the game most likely!

[@SolunaPiano]

Hey do you still have the stems for this cover?

[@KadeKalka]

Maybe. I thought they were still up, but I guess they got taken down.

[@KadeKalka]

Yeah, I'm sorry. I must've taken them down at some point and I don't have the files anymore. If you want stems for any of my newer stuff, let me know. I just don't have a lot of my older sessions anymore.

[@SolunaPiano]

@@KadeKalka Oh that's okay. Sure, I'll let you know if I need the stems for your newer stuff.

[@eggsouffle]

do you have guitar tabs for this?

[@KadeKalka]

Sadly no. I don't write tabs for anything I do, but I probably should lol. The song's in drop c tho (I think).

[@eggsouffle]

@@KadeKalka ah thanks man. Great cover btw♡

[@KadeKalka]

BreadCrumbs Thanks! Glad you like it! :D

[@Gameboy2007-Official]

Hello there Go to Ultimate guitar and search black tar, scroll a bit and you'll find misc computer games and click on the black tar next to that That's the tab for the og song I made But none for this version tho

[@prettyflippingaverage1268]
