Hey guys! I'm back with arguably one of the most metal ost's of all time, SNES's "Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals"!

I did a slammin' metal cover of the boss theme for this game a while back and it ended up being one of my favorite covers to do!

This game's music has all of the JRPG elements that I love and it even takes it to an even higher level in terms of metalness compared to other games in the genre.

The arrangement came together super naturally having already done some stuff from this ost as well as feeling very at home with the metal riffage of the original. The rhythm section of the original has some very prominent guitar and drums in it which gave me a huge foundation to build on.

However, I didn't want to just copy the original straight up; so I made it an objective to incorporate as many of my own stylistic elements into my arrangement such as some guitar harmonies, more open and melodic rhythm guitar parts, and some half time breakdown grooves.

I also couldn't resist laying down an over-the-top shreddy solo on top of the sick chord progressions in thee pre-chorus!

Overall I had such a blast making this cover. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Thanks so much to Josh for the request and thank you for watching!
