A cover of "A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup" aka the Pumpkin Hill theme from the video game Sonic Adventures 2.
Possibly a controversial take, but I have a huge soft spot for some of the earlier 3D Sonic games and Sonic Adventures 2 is easily my favourite Sonic game out there! It's got some wicked music and Crush 40 is a huge part of why I got into Sonic music! Now, this isn't a Crush 40 song but the vibe of this song is just too good I knew I'd have to cover this one at some point!
I had a lot of fun arranging this one, and probably had more fun that normal recording this one, it's just so groovy! I didn't really have much planned in terms of arrangement though, other than I wanted the first half of the song to be a bit more reminiscent of the original and have the same vibe, and then bring out the djent for the 2nd half as it has been a while since I've used my 8 string! Not much else to say other than I just kept having groovy ideas for it, and managed to keep a good balance of having different instruments playing different parts without going overboard. Also, this one probably has the first guitar solo in a while that I'm super proud of! It's just the right vibe, and the right balance of melodic and flashy! Vocals wasn't too tricky as I'm slightly more used to doing these kind of rap-rock vocals, having already done a couple of covers now in this style. Also special shout out to Noble doing some backing vocals and keeping those backing vocals sounding more interesting!
Technically a week and a half too late to consider it a Halloween cover, but regardless I hope you enjoyed this one, as this one was especially fun to make!
