I make rock and metal covers of video game music. I am also a software developer by trade, which means cutting my hair is absolutely out of the question on all fronts.
I started playing video games at an extremely young age, and the part of all the games that always stuck with me the most was the music.
One of my main hobbies as I got older became music production and composition, and I always gravitated towards composing and producing video game music (mainly doing covers and remixes of video game tracks from my childhood).
I try to upload videos as often as possibly as I can. Keeping a consistent upload schedule is proving hard because I usually work 60 or more hours a week, but when I find time to myself, chances are I'm working on something to upload here.
Cheers, and I hope you like the music. If you do, shameless self plug: subscribe to the channel so I can share more of my work with you.

Super Metroid: Lower Norfair & Vs. Ridley - Metal Cover | Brad Kroll
I'm just doing my part and adding to the hype train for Metroid Dread. That game is going to take me off the grid for at least a week (same with Metroid Prime 4, Retro Studios pls). I have to imagine, even though we haven't seen it in the trailers yet, that just like most other Metroid games it will feature a certain giant tail bouncing space pirate dragon lizard. We will find out if I'm right in a month or so!

Hollow Knight: Nightmare King Grimm - Metal Cover | Brad Kroll
Переглядів 9223 роки тому
This boss fight might be my favorite boss fight to come out of any game in the last 5 years - so well designed, ludicrously hard, and oh dear lord the music is so good. So its gotta get a cover. Compositionally this might be one of the harder ones I've done, ever. Especially during the transitions. That's why this one took so long, I wanted to make sure I got those absolutely right.

ARE WE READY FOR MEME SONGS!? "Guile's theme goes with everything" and now that includes my channel. I love this song, because for whatever reason, I can pull it up and let it play in the background and it will go with literally anything I am doing at the time. Work, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, whatever. I've been working on a cover that is both hard and complex for the past week and y...
Undertale: Hopes and Dreams - Metal Cover | Brad Kroll

I really, really wish I had more time to do Undertale covers when the game first came out, but better late than never, right? There is so much from this soundtrack that I want to do, this is just the first that came to mind. I would have done Megalovania but it has been done so much already. That being said, if you all want to see me do a take on Megalovania anyway, let me know in the comments ...
Shovel Knight: La Danse Macabre (Lich Yard) - Metal Cover | Brad Kroll
Переглядів 4693 роки тому
I was raised on old platformers, I'm a sucker for old platformers, so we have to cover the tribute game to old platformers, right? YES. I loved Shovel Knight when it came out, and its music was incredible. Jake Kaufman really outdid himself. I had a really hard time deciding on what track I wanted to cover from this game, and I decided on La Danse Macabre from Spectre Knight's level, because it...

How on earth has no Zelda music made its way onto my channel yet? Let's fix that! I played Ocarina of Time long after it was originally released (I had a Playstation, not an N64 when I was a kid), but it still left a very strong impression when I did. Enjoy!

JENOVA makes top 10 lists for the best boss fight music ALL the time, so it definitely deserves a metal cover. I really hope they do our favorite space plague lady justice throughout all of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake episodes, the first one was definitely a good start. Also, check out the new Bass! I definitely get the dingle dangle grind sound with this one that just wasn't possible with the I...

I grew up on this game. Tons of people I know grew up on this game. I was SO happy when they did the remaster, I watched my GF play through the whole thing and just sat there and watched her. I loved the music for the whole series, and I hope you all appreciate my little contribution to it as much as I appreciate Stewart Copeland. Enjoy! Song Name: Glimmer Game: Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!

Halo: Combat Evolved: Halo (Main Theme) - Metal Cover | Brad Kroll
Переглядів 1,3 тис.4 роки тому
This is actually the theme of thousands of young kids going to their neighbors house for LAN parties, they just happened to also stick it in one of the greatest shooters of all time. Seriously though, I still listen to the Halo: CE soundtrack on a regular basis, and the entire thing is gold, especially this song. It's hard to find a more iconic theme. Here's to hoping Halo Infinite is awesome. ...
Starcraft: Brood War: Terran Theme 3 - Metal Cover | Brad Kroll
Переглядів 27 тис.4 роки тому
Its hard to say what my favorite video game track of all time is, but this Terran theme from the original Starcraft is definitely very high on the list. I can also say with certainty that this is the video game track I have spent the most hours listening to during my childhood - I put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into this game. I miss it, and I'm very happy that remastered exists. Also, Ter...

Mega Man 1-6: Title Theme - Metal Cover | Brad Kroll
Переглядів 8204 роки тому
Mega Man has always been a series defined by its fantastic music, even over 20 years after the first one was released. Some of the most important music you can compose for a game is the title screen music, because it needs to grab your attention and keep it. Naturally this means that the title themes are some of the best songs on each game's soundtrack. So let's cover them! 0:00 - Mega Man: Dr ...

I really hope I did this one justice. When I was playing through the remake and the fight with the Airbuster began, I knew immediately that I was going to cover this song. They really did a fantastic job with the remake, and I might cover more songs from it, because the entire soundtrack is gold.

Mega like, now terrain 2 pls❤
genius
Metroid games are so legendary and so is the soundtrack that's perfect for metal. I recently made my first Metroid metal cover as well and your cover is very well done
wow dude really good
Amazing work, I love it 🎊🎊🎊
Hope you don't mind this has been my official channel theme for years lol ua-cam.com/video/SwW5yDqm-qg/v-deo.htmlsi=VPGmDaltUlx78e_R
Do ratchet and clank 2: boldan city
Wow this is so good subscribed greetings from Murcia, Spain
I love this cover. It's got the perfect amount of metal in it.
god damn dude your tone is so good, I hope you're alright and that you post another cover some time soon
That's amazing man keep it up!
One night, I was getting tight with me wife and I listened to what you called a re-vam-ap. My cats were quite concerned at the time; looked upon my TV in horror, the same feeling my ears had at the time. My wife looked at me in such disgust, I hadn't felt that way since the war. Please don't ever make music again, you horrid little man. Thank you for you consideration.
One of the better covers available for this track. Great additions from the original material without getting stale.
I’m 9 years late, but he absolutely SHREDS this! Gah damn!!!
Not GHETTO. GULAG, comrade
Tabs!
thats sick thanks man
I love you.
Incredible. Totally blown away. I'm guessing I've never seen this due to the algorithm changes, partial shadowban many music creators have faced on this censorious application. So thankful I found this today!
Badass dude super badass 👍😁😎
That’s pretty epic, well done.
I have to start a special HellMarch playlist
that guy fucking RIpped it!
56 seconds of Zero's Theme, almost 3 full minutes of random solos. You're good at guitar, but I gotta be honest, this isn't what I was hoping for.
this is too sick.
This rocks so hard 😢😢😢😢
Excellent!!!
Best Cover Forever 😭❤️
the legend and the messiah
What's the tuning?
Sickkk
Best cover sound and effects ever man Masterpiece on itself You done it by ear or tabs?
