This was a time and a half to record. One of my favorite covers yet (the game itself is absolutely amazing as well. Definitely does a good job of capturing that old FF7 feel while still making it feel modern). I hope you enjoyed this cover (and I guess...my quarantine hair)!

Let the Battles Begin! (Metal Cover) - Final Fantasy VII Remake || Shady Cicada

After two decades, it's finally time to Let the Battles Begin again. I'll admit, I only recently got into Final Fantasy VII. I played Crsis Core maybe 4 times in the past (I really liked it) but I never tried the game it was a spin-off of. Thanks to the Nintendo Switch, I finally got to sit down with it and wow. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. The story, characters, and atmosphere were all amazing. And this is on OLD technology. I had a ton of issues putting the controller down. Of course, the soundtrack is amazing and iconic in it's own right. I've been very familiar with the soundtrack for years, but actually playing the game helped me understand each track better, which is why this cover of Let the Battles Begin is actually a second attempt. I covered this song over four years ago and I thought I'd see how much I could change it up. So here it is! A metal cover of "Let the Battles Begin" from Final Fantasy VII! I hope you enjoy! And if you'll excuse me...I have a copy of Final Fantasy VII Remake waiting to be played -Support me on Patreon- ► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon -FOLLOW ME- ► Subscribe: https://youtube.com/c/shadycicada ► Gaming Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzlQCPeINSSHK1C_bXll_xg ► BandCamp: https://shadycicada.bandcamp.com/ ► Twitch: https://twitch.tv/shadycicada ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/shadycicada ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shadycicada/ -MERCH- ► http://bit.ly/ShadyStore -CREDITS- Current Balloon Boy avatar drawn by Dorsa Bidhendi: https://www.instagram.com/dorsabidhendi/ Shady Cicada Banner drawing by ShyGuyXXL: http://shyguyxxl.deviantart.com/ -EQUIPMENT- Guitars: Ibanez RGR652AHBF Prestige, Fender American Elite Telecaster, Schecter Banshee Elite 6 (with Seymour Duncan Alpha/Omega Pick ups) Bass: Fender American Performer Precision Bass, Ibanez Soundgear Strings: Elixir "Light-Heavy" Orchestra: East West Symphonic Orchestra (Gold Version) Synths/Synth Drums/Various Instruments: Xpand!2 Interface: Line 6 UX2 Audio Software (DAW): Cubase 5 (for video capturing) & Cubase 10 Pro Tone Software: POD Farm 2 & Bias FX Drums: Superior Drummer 2.0 Mixing/Mastering Software: Izotope 5 Video Software: Adobe Premiere Pro Video Camera: Canon Rebel T5i ► Sign up with Distrokid and get your music out there! http://distrokid.com/vip/shadycicada
