[ METAL ] Battle! Legendary Pokemon | Pokemon Black and White - Sombra De La Gata

"Battle! Legendary Pokemon" originally composed by Junichi Masuda.

Alright, here's my first attempt at a Metal VGM cover! Always have wanted to do this and I finally felt capable of at least making it happen. Plus, getting to upload two covers from Pokemon Black and White back to back is pretty nice.

Just like last week's "Route 10" cover, the Legendary Battle/Trio theme for Black and White is also one of my favorite tracks in the series. In my mind, I felt the frantic feel of the original track would translate well into a Metal type of sound, so here's what I came up with.

Also, today I showcase my second guitar: a B.C Rich Masterpiece! This guitar is actually a gift from my fiancee and has a really good sound for down-tuned playing. My ESP LTD unfortunately had its E and A string busted so it only has 4 strings on it at the moment. HOWEVER, I think it did give the ol' B.C. Rich a perfect opportunity to shine and make a debut. So, shoutouts to Gata De La Sombra lol.

Below I'll make a list of equipment and gear I used to get my sound.

Oh, and if anyone asks why I'm playing my guitar and on the 12th fret for bass while there's "Bass" going on...yea, I just used an octaver setting on my combo amp and did some mixing magic cause I don't have an actual bass guitar/amp lol.

Gear:
Guitar - B.C. Rich Masterpiece Mockingbird
Bass - B.C Rich Masterpiece Mockingbird (octaver + mixing)
Amp - Peavey Vypyr 15W combo amp
Microphone - SM57
Drums - Mix between GetGoodDrums Sample Taster 2019 (WAV files) and Matt Star Atrium Sample Pack (from Produce Like a Pro).
Interface - Focusrite Scarlett Solo (2nd Gen)
DAW - Reaper
