  • My cover of The Walking Dead theme. I had to make a cover of this one, and really wanted to try making my own unique twist on it by adding the vocals. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think in the comments!
    As there are probably no music/songs from the original living dead trilogy I will cover, I decided to pay tribute to the man who created the zombie flick as we know it today. Without him we wouldn't have Walking Dead, Resident Evil, Dying Light or any big zombie franchise. George A. Romero, may you rest in peace.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Lyrics:
    Behind the veil of reason
    We are the monsters of nature
    Born to hate, and fooled by fate
    Transformed from leaders to slaves
    Of our destructive ways
    Embrace your end
    No time for tears my friend
    The life we're given is our prison
    Just be brave, dig your grave
    We are the walking dead
    As we are torn apart inside
    The hunger for power still remain
    The human strain won't die
    This virus will bring the age of reckoning
    Embrace your end
    No time for tears my friend
    The life we're given is our prison
    Just be brave, dig your grave
    We are the walking dead
    Quote from Night of the Living Dead (1968) [public domain]
    "It has been established that persons who have recently died have been returning to life and committing acts of murder.
    A widespread investigation of funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead have been returning to life and seeking human victims"
    When there's no more room in hell
    The dead will walk the earth
    Embrace your end (Embrace your end)
    No time for tears my friend (No time to waste my friend)
    The life we're given is our prison
    Just be brave, dig your grave
    We are the walking dead

    How the fuck are you not writing music for these shows and games? You should be. I would take this over the original theme, this would get you jacked for the show. Any of your covers would. The lyrics coincide perfectly and of course you can riff out better than some band's double guitar players. Damn great job, keep it up!

      Thanks for the compliment James! Actually many years ago my dream was to do just that, but my focus has kinda changed over the years. Would be really cool though! Also glad you liked the lyrics :) Horns up brother!

    When there's no more room in hell

    ...👍
    This can be the tagline for the next zombie flick 😱

    • @SkarProductions
      @SkarProductions  6 лет назад +3

      It actually is the tag line for the original zombie flicks from George Romero :) I believe it was first used in Dawn of the Dead from 1978. If you haven't seen the original 3 zombie movies that more or less created the zombie flick, you really should :) great movies!

    • @fajarkurniawan9434

  • @CMpunkRulz2007
    @CMpunkRulz2007 3 года назад +2

    You seriously this was actually amazing, always wanted to see what someone could bring to this song with lyrics, and while I'm not a fan of screamo type stuff this one has to be an exception it was just to damn good... I've also started doing covers on my own channel but I'm nowhere near as good as this... Seriously dude this was so good, the screaming wasn't overdone either so that's another reason I didn't mind it.

  • @AmarothEng
    @AmarothEng 6 лет назад +4

    OK, mindblown. This was perfect. Give me now something to bash this out of my head. You say I can keep hitting my table with my head while listening to this over and over again? Great idea, that will surely help!

    • @SkarProductions
      @SkarProductions  6 лет назад +3

      The power of using double bass pedals for effect :) The tempo remains the same, but the energy increases dramatically as long as you haven't overused them earlier in the song. Glad you liked it Michael!

  • @OneManShow1964
    @OneManShow1964 6 лет назад

    Just my opinion here, but I prefer your Weight of the World track to this one. To my ears the volume balance between lyrics and instruments are more equal there then they are here, allowing your vocals to be better heard. Both of them clearly show how much you enjoy what you do. Sincere, genuine happiness is a rare thing in my neck of the woods. I hope you never lose it.

    • @SkarProductions
      @SkarProductions  6 лет назад +2

      Opinions and feedback are appreciated! The Nier cover and this are vastly different covers, and in Nier there ain't much going on except power chords and some harmonies which in turn gives a lot of room for he vocals and overall clarity. Here however there is a lot more packed in and heavy stuff going on :) Thanks for listening!
