Hey all!!
Some of you might have noticed, but I recently (like a few minutes ago) cleaned up a bit and changed some of the reward tiers for y'all, I'll give a little rundown for ya:
$1 tier - unchanged, monthly tab polls are still around and the discord chat isn't going anywhere. I did tweak the discord bot though,...

this will make that one guy who has been asking for this on every single video for nearly a year straight very happy, I hope.
A return to Touhou! I TOLD you I wasn't done completely, and I STILL AIN'T. I don't plan on making 2hu covers at the same rate as last year by any means, but the music is just too fun to completely...

Yoooo what it do
This week is a cover from a game that I used to think that I was good at when I was a kid until some people came along and demonstrated that this game has endless layers of intentional and unintentional depth to it.
I don't play melee anymore, but I do like the newer games!!! I'm SUPER EXCITED for ...

ahoy,
this week is brought to you mostly by inspiration from Scandinavian folk metal bands (Turisas, Ensiferum, Sonata Arctica, etc) - i tried to make this track mirror the scale and intensity of the game itself (haha puns).
It was super fun!! I want to get better with synthetic orchestral instruments in the future...

this week is something a bit different than my normal fare: it's not really metal and it's not a heavily requested track - it's just a backing track from a silly anime.
I recently watched Tokyo Ghoul and was not the biggest fan in the world, especially after season 1. However, the music of the show is pretty ...

So this has been quite a while in the making - Brandon (sixteeninmono) and I have been conspiring and plotting to make this cover since like june of last year. Due to a LONG string of hangups and hiccups, we had to put it off several times.

Hello and salutations,
Lotttts of people wanted more Homestuck, requesting specifically this track among many. I admit, I have not read the entirety of homestuck and I doubt I ever will (maybe) - but I know the song that plays here means a lot to a lot of fans, so I hope those of you who are familiar enjoy it!

I must admit, I feel a bit badly. I've been kinda ignoring a lot of social media while scrambling to get this video done, among other important things. I recently returned from MAGFest and promptly moved into a new apartment, ordered physical CDs for my BULLET HELL album, and frantically got this video put toge...

This is an arrangement that I made back in 2014 when I was still just getting used to making covers like this. I think at the time I had only made like 10 or so and was still very rough on the mixing side of things.
I was also a LOT crazier with drum arranging at this time, as I was modeling most of my dr...

This is a fun holiday cover of the quintessential holiday song to make a metal cover of. It's kinda like covering Dr. Wily or Storm Eagle or something - it's just GONNA happen at some point.

happy thursday kiddos,
This here is a track that has been requested basically since Undertale was a thing. If you're not aware, Toby Fox worked on Homestuck's music before he went on with Undertale among other things - this is one of the more popular pieces from the comic that he wrote.
I don't really plan on doing...

Hey all,
So November was pretty rough for the channel. YouTube did something that really messed with my videos and their ability to appear in searches and recommendations. That's why the views have been so low recently - but I've been TOLD that at least part of this issue has been fixed for now; hopefully we start bouncin...

So I had said before that this would be my final Touhou video for a while.
This was not true! I wanted to sneak this in really quickly before my actual last 2hu because a lot of you kiddos requested it and it's just kind of a rad track.
The real last album touhou is coming soon. I can't really say when because it's...

I know most of you have been playing this as I know I have - it's, uh, the mario sequel we should have had like 7 years ago. It's SO good and SOOOO charming and kind of a game changer.
And the music, of course, is fantastic - hence my shitty cover video lol

Heya kiddos
So this week's cover is... weird. I figured the previous cuphead cover would have been a bit too strange since it was like big band swing metal stuff
This one is basically salsacore. I've joked about such things existing in the past, but this is legitimate salsacore. I don't know what else to call it.
