So I completely love this game. It's so, SO good. ThunderScott agrees, so I decided to ask him to lay down some spanky bass groves and rhythms for this track. When it was all arranged it reminded me a bit of something I'd hear from ToxicxEternity's band Singularity, so I also bugged him to shred out a solo for this thing as well. The result - as you can see - is pretty fuckin' brutal. Plus it was awesome gettin the #sp00kycrew back together :')

I might have gone a bit overboard on this cover (again); I think this has more layers than any other cover I've ever done. My computer was struggling a bit towards the end there, and it even made Reaper crash once. THAT NEVER HAPPENS, REAPER DOES NOT CRASH. When I was getting close to being done, I had the idea of shooting at one of Grand Rapid's local chapels or cathedrals to accent the gothic / victorian vibe of the game and settled on the Fountain Street Chapel in the video. Shout-outs to the folks at the chapel who let me dick around like an asshole in their fucking immaculate building for a few hours. Also apparently my answer to looking spooky is to wear one of the two hoodies I always wear anyway BUT THIS TIME PUT THE HOOD UP

Also candles. lots of candles. Thanks again to scoot and toxic for putting up with my bullshit ;_____;
Extra thanks to my buddies Jake and Garrett for helping me shoot this beast. Shooting on location fucking blows btw.

Apparently this is a version of the same piece that plays when you fight Vicar Amelia, so they're pretty darn similar.

    We are born by the metal, made men by the metal, undone by the metal. Fear Richaad's sick covers.
  • @Inuzumi
    They're all the same, those rotten clerics.
  • @ovaloaf8780
    This makes me feel like a gigantic creature starts chasing me across a bridge in the dark, oh wait
  • @SamuraiCrackZ
    this was my first ever SoulsBorne boss. holy Fuck did it kick my ass over and over again. I blame the cleric beast for my addiction.
  • @alex-roe
    The last half of this was pretty damn awesome, great solos and end!
  • I absolutely love the cover, and the fact you decided to change your environment to give off the Victoria/goth vibe of this song shows your dedication to all these covers. Kudos to you, man!

    Jeeeez richard, my wallet's gonna be scared of your songs now, I'm gonna have to buy all of your stuff some day
  • @VideoClam
    I love that "ringing convergence" heard between 3:37-3:43. It acts as an awesome mini-crescendo within the tail end of the song and evokes the feeling of the cleric beast's tortured scream. I hope that makes sense.
  • @Zadamanim
    Imminent shredding. I can't take this...
  • THIS IS SO YES can we start a kvlt as fuck black metal band pls
  • @Koroar
    Those sweeps / taps at 3:15 aroused me. The whole thing is freaking awesome though.
  • @ToxicxEternity
    As a big fan of your work, it was a pleasure to get spooky on this awesome track!
  • You are a god amongst men. So glad to see bloodborne's soundtrack getting some interest in the artists. An amazing track made even greater well done!
  • @t.gusty1358
    Fear shredding, and may the good blood guide your way.
  • @guitarded222
    That was the best thing I have ever heard! I love the harpsichord thing in the background during the last little bit. Those solo's were insane btw :)
  • @JosiahEverhart
    Dang, nice work, guys.  I really dig the cinematography on this one. Also; good thinking getting your MAGFest 2016 wristband early, Rich!
