As I said in the previous video, this week's cover is a revisit of a cover I did fairly recently. I was excited to see Bury the Light so high on the list, but I had absolutely no idea how to tackle it differently from my first time. The natural approach for me is to just go lower with tuning, but that meant Double Drop D, or 8-string dropped an octave below a normal 6-string drop D. It's not the first time I've played this low, but I was really determined to make it as clean and clear as possible when it came to pitch stability.

To achieve this, I finally picked up Mike Stringer's Mixwave plugin (not sponsored) knowing that Spiritbox plays in Drop F#, it had to be good for this and oh boy was it. I landed on a tone I liked almost instantly and it gave me the inspiration to really lean on Spiritbox influence for this cover as they've been the most influential band on me in the past few years. I took a lot of arrangement ideas from Jaded, with a ton of mix tricks from Circle With Me. I even ended up mixing in the double drop D guitar ANOTHER octave down as well as the bass to make the guitars sound lower than perhaps anything I've ever heard before, let alone mixed myself. It was an incredible challenge in the production phase of this cover.

My last cover of this song was met with a lot of criticism because of my voice. It was tough on me because as a lot of you know, I have rather low self-esteem with my singing and I've been really trying to work to be okay with it, but I took a very growly approach with this then and I could tell by the comments, some people did not like it. Having Lollia take this one is exciting for me because we're flipping the gender of the singer and it really sounds unique and different from the original in a cool way. The comments sections of my videos are usually unnecissarily over-critical anytime I have a vocalist, and I'm sure it won't be different this time. However, I really think we landed on something really cool here, and worrying about pleasing everyone may have prevented me from doing this project like this.

This was reuploaded because the initial video got a large amount of criticism about the vocal mix. The vocals have been boosted in this and I hope it's easier to hear more intricities in Lollia's performance. We took a very different approach with the style of this song, and while it won't be for everyone, I those who enjoy it can appreciate the insane work that went into this.

Bury the Light in 2022 was the last cover I did before breaking my thumb which triggered a domino effect of many really tough trials in my life. I'm hoping that I can bookend that with this truly monsterous revisit to that cover. All that being said, the final cover of your favorite video game songs of all time is just a week away...

And dare is say it, it's going to be even bigger than this one.
