Sylvalum Night (Xenoblade Chronicles X) SYMPHONIC METAL Guitar Cover

My word this song is one of the most beautiful overworld themes I've ever heard in a game. The Xenoblade Chronicles X OST is one of my fave game OSTs, and this track is one of the reasons why! Wandering around in Sylvalum with this music at night is an incredible experience. Hiroyuki Sawano always does a great job blending electronic, orchestral, and rock music together to create super awesome soundtracks :D. I decided to do a simpler arrangement for this piece because I didn't feel like I needed to really change the song, so I just re-created the track, added some cool orchestral layers, and then added all the guitars and drums! It was really fun making such a big "epic" piece of symphonic metal; it definitely takes a lot of time and mixing but it's so worth it. I hope you guys enjoy this cover and make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more rock/metal covers of video game and anime music!
