Enjoy Oh and I really messed around with the song

If there's anyone here who wants to do vocals on this, just post here

Wow, that was great..Thats a way do to covers, do something different, and not just copy the original..

Haha, that was freakin' awesome dude! Kinda reminds me of old In Flames and Edge Of Sanity if they were to do a cover of this. Even without vocals, it kicked my ass. Fantastic work man .

I'll do vocals for you. Maybe within... a week? I'll let you know.

OK I'm doing the vocals right now but I don't understand your arrangement so I just wanted to ask you some things....

What's going on with the last chorus? It sort of doubles in the middle, I don't know what you want the vocals to do there, how did you percieve the lyrics as corresponding with the music there so I know how to do it?

And the first chorus, after the VAMPIRAAAAAA you have the chorus go through again, do you want vocals over that bit too or was that going to be a guitar solo or what? I can do guitar solos for you, that is no problem just let me know what you want where.

Do what you want It's about turning the song upside down, so anything goes.

Good job on what you already have though man, I enjoyed it

Dude, that's a NICE guitar tone! I love it! And it frickin' rocks!

It's pure Powerball this time Only a 100 Hz Hipass & small cut at 800 Hz, nothing else

OK I've recorded, edited and mixed the vocals, now I just have to do the guitar solos and I'll upload it tomorrow.

Vampira with blastbeats, very cool

That was really good! Hyvä Suomi!

Awesome cover.. I look forward to the vocal additions!

Wow...is this recorded on a computer? If so, what is your setup? That guitar tone is fucking killer!!!!!

No matter how hard I try I cant get anything good like that
