➤ Hey guys! Here is my very first Kingdom Hearts jam! This game series is known for having some absolutely epic and amazing music so it's such a pleasure to finally shred up an iconic theme from the series. It most definitely will not be my last!
I was really stoked about covering this theme the second that Madara requested it. The original has such a melodic and ominous feel to it that was so easy to capture on guitar with little alteration needed. However, that didn't stop me from voluntarily tearing the song apart structurally and trying to make it into a jamming melodic metal banger!
First order of business was to replace the background snare roll drums with some super crushing double bass metal drums and have some grooving rhythm guitars following the kick patterns; the foundation for any awesome metal song!
For the leads, I jumped right into those piano arpeggios without asking any questions, they actually weren't super hard to play as they are pretty standard shapes that I've played before on guitar. The challenge was just putting them together and practicing them a ton to get it as clean as I could. I also harmonized some of the melodies that originally were a single track.
Overall I'm super stoked on how this turned out. I spent a ton of time mixing and mastering this piece as it's such a dense arrangement with strings and choirs going off at all times in the background. They had to be loud though to enhance the epicness!
I hope you guys enjoyed this track as much as I enjoyed making it!
Thanks for the awesome request Madara!
