Scrapped demo of a video game rock cover [Special Download]

I actually don't know if I showed this one to you guys. Always teased it here and there. This song was the biggest request on my channel once upon a time. I gave it my all, but in the end, I couldn't ...

My plans for this week's video (and a hint at next week's video)

It probably wouldn't be right if we didn't do SOMETHING Christmas related this year, so we're doing one more How-To before 2017 is over. How To: Make a Christmas Metal song! This one might be a little...

This Week's Song [Free Early Download] [DEMO]

The only reason this is a demo version is because it's going to be professionally mixed and mastered by SixteenInMono! I went for the "Final Boss Level/Lair" idea, because it was the most fleshed out ...

This week is a bit of a confusing one. Mainly because I have many options to consider. Musician's block from weekly originals is slowly returning (no worries, it tends to end pretty quick). So here is...

How To: Make a Fire & Ice Theme

This one was a TON of fun. I think I say that for most of these videos, but I love playing leitmotifs in different atmospheres. Plus any song that makes me feel nostalgia for other games (Mario Galaxy...

How To: Make an Underwater Theme

This song came out way better than expected. I spent 4 hours trying to get the mix right. The main issue was a cello I had that was flooding up the whole mix. Replaced it with subtle bass guitar and i...

This Week's Original [Free Early Download] [ROUGH VERSION]

Plans for this week

The last 2 videos have been doing extremely well (especially the final boss video). Well enough to boost my channel from 30-50 subs a day to anywhere between 200-700. While I don't expect this spike t...
