One Winged Angel - Final Fantasy VII Symphonic Rock/Metal Cover

A cover of One Winged Angel, from the video game Final Fantasy VII. This a song that needs no introduction - arguably one of the best and most iconic final boss themes in video game history! Having recently finished FFVII, this theme just hits like a truck! It&pretty long by video game standards (especially for the time), there&just so much going on and lots of little details in there, it very much lends itself to a progressive rock/metal arrangement! There are so many great covers of this tune, but I feel like there aren&many metal covers of this that keep too much of the orchestral aspect of the song, so my cover aims to rectify that. My approach was to sort out all the orchestrations/keyboard parts, and work all the metal guitars/drums around that. I definitely had a lot of fun layering all vocals and all the guitar parts to mirror the orchestrations, and also tried to add a little bit of my own style in there, but trying not to deviate too much from the original. Also worth noting the keys and drums are semi programmed, as I played as much as I could for a better and more realistic sound, but programmed for fills and more complex bits I couldn&play. In total, I used 74 tracks on this song, which I had to bounce down them onto around 40 tracks just so they&all fit in the project file! I like to think this helped contribute to the massive sound this cover has, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it! Share, Like, Subscribe and all that good stuff! New videos...
