Dude your tone is *spot-on* and as always, your playing is fantastic. KSE's version of this song was my introduction to the band and one of the 'gateway songs' that got me into metal as a whole. Rock on!
Man, it's seriously a breath of fresh air how I can click on one of your videos and it's just right in to ripping on the guitar. No masturbatory intros or anything like that.
Nik!!! I was not expecting the solos and fills to be covered (no offense I just wasn’t expecting it lol) and you NAILED them all! Very impressed brother it was perfect. What a great cover by KSE. It’s like chocolate cake…it’s not always your go to food choice but when you do it’s tasty every time.
Roni D.I.O made it history, Howard Jones made it Vocal Phenomenally, and you have made it one of if not the best cover out there .love your work bro keep it up )
its reminds me of my highschool days. Recently I heard a song called "hybrid theory Tanhayee". They also remind of that time. However, in a really new way that i can't explain. Its very nostalgic to me, so I again started to listen to that kind of music. Thanks Nani brothers for letting me know about another such band who does this type of type of music. I think since you have a similar nostalgia you will fill this "hybrid theory tanhayee" to be very personal to you
I just love that solo. it's got many of the same little 'things' like the solo from No More Tears, but a different genre. It's well thought out, great tone, chunky where it needs to be, not overdoing it, and fits the song to a T. Grrreat!
i love your videos dude, putting the tabs on the bottom of the screen is sick and i play along with the video, have learned several songs quick like this! goodshit bro
Can someone explain the notation of the harmonic at 0:21? I have no clue what the numbers in parentheses mean and am so confused. All I know is I've yet to get a harmonic that sounds like that out of the 3rd fret
That’s crazy how the putto to this sounds like this calling by all that remains lol love it bro I’m gonna learn this one next thanks for playing awesome and providing tabs dude keep it up 🎉❤🔥👍🏻☀️
What a coincidence I was just watching your cover of in due time by them! Would you consider doing an updated vid for that? I love the solo in that song
Hey the outro lead section sounds similar to the outro lead section for This Calling ( All That Remains ) ? ??🤔 Anyways great cover as always brotha !!! 🙏
![Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](/img/1.gif)
*A cover of a classic cover*
Tabs are live on my patreon: www.patreon.com/NikNocturnal
This was one of the first songs that I heard from KSE that got me into the genre as a whole, this entire song is a masterpiece.
Hey i can see you watching Davie504 video
Should give the credit to Dio
@HanzoTheTurtle what? Elaborate
Dude are you the next Justin Y??
Jesus man you are literally EVERYWHERE. RUclips Legend
probably one of the best covers of all time
p.s. “nik covers killswitch engage’s cover of dio’s song holy diver” would be a great title lmao
This is a fair comment - and while I will always love RJD and give em all the credit -- Killswitch did this song better than he ever could.
@@cookitketo3592 That hurts to read.
Now you need to do Holy Diver if it was made in 2021 and the trilogy will be completed
AWESOME PLAYING AS ALWAYS MAN
Hell yeah, good idea there brother! 🤘
Still one of the best covers of a classic Metal song. KSE knocked it out of the park with this.
Saw them play it live in London ontario Canada. It was so amazing!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
That pinch harmonic always hits the spot
Paying tribute not only to Killswitch Engage but also for Ronnie James Dio. Rock on forever Dio🤘
Needs more squels.
The look the Adam D and Joel give each other when they squel battle is adorable.
This was dope - one of the best metal covers of all time for sure. It's been in my playlist since it dropped in the mid 00's.
The guitar solo is so satisfying
Dude your tone is *spot-on* and as always, your playing is fantastic.
KSE's version of this song was my introduction to the band and one of the 'gateway songs' that got me into metal as a whole.
Rock on!
This is personally some of my favorite content that you’ve put out. All of it honestly pretty awesome
1:21 2:02 2:35
The ending literally being the ending of This Calling is just the icing.
The edits of your face poking in are fuckin killing me lmao
This is the best guitar tone of all modern guitar, if not the entire guitar history so far.
Man, it's seriously a breath of fresh air how I can click on one of your videos and it's just right in to ripping on the guitar. No masturbatory intros or anything like that.
Damn this guitar tone sounds pretty nice. Would love to see a video of what presets you use and how you make them
I remember learning this version of this song years ago, still one of the funnest jams to do. Vibes man.
Classic cover of a cover.
Nik!!! I was not expecting the solos and fills to be covered (no offense I just wasn’t expecting it lol) and you NAILED them all! Very impressed brother it was perfect. What a great cover by KSE. It’s like chocolate cake…it’s not always your go to food choice but when you do it’s tasty every time.
Love how this popped up on my feed as I was assigned to practicing the intro a couple weeks ago, lol.
2:01
this solo is absolutly demential 🔥
Roni D.I.O made it history, Howard Jones made it Vocal Phenomenally, and you have made it one of if not the best cover out there .love your work bro keep it up )

I like that you move your head with the bends.
I just love that solo. it's got many of the same little 'things' like the solo from No More Tears, but a different genre. It's well thought out, great tone, chunky where it needs to be, not overdoing it, and fits the song to a T. Grrreat!
Oh wow, no intro - just straight BANGER!
This is one of my favorite covers of all time. Nice video!
What a killer solo, and the whole cover is epic, brutal sound! You nailed it!!! :)
Of course, you absolutely slayed this, tone wise and just overall damn good playing. Nicely done, Nik. 🤘
Your phrasing is on point. This is the best cover of this song I've seen so far.
The tone is on point holy chitt
i love your videos dude, putting the tabs on the bottom of the screen is sick and i play along with the video, have learned several songs quick like this! goodshit bro
Everytime Nik covers another KSE song, I feel my heart skip a beat.
super fun solo to play. one of my favs!
Thanks for always reminding me to stay hydrated Nick.
Love that version, great job!
Sick cover my man, doing justice to the original and the killswitch version
Dude ! Nice cover Nik !
1:21
rest in peace ronnie, your influence knows no bounds
Another great cover Nik!
Nice cover there!
578 Metalcore Life!!!
@1:20
Nice cover of a cover
Absolute Banger
Do I dare say that this version of Holy Diver is by far my favorite?
😐
Fax
For guitar ye
But every other nothin beats original
You amaze me. What a performance
Such a good cover of a classic song, one of the first songs from Killswitch that I discovered
Nik is the guy who shows up for a band tryout and everybody realizes hes over qualified
Can someone explain the notation of the harmonic at 0:21? I have no clue what the numbers in parentheses mean and am so confused. All I know is I've yet to get a harmonic that sounds like that out of the 3rd fret
perfect as always
Phew, thanks for verifying in the title that it was you Nik, I was worried there for a sec xD
so much respect the talents
The KSE cover was one of the first songs that got me into heavier stuff
Great jobbbb!!! Gotta pull those squeals way harder tho lol
RIP Dio 💔 great remake ⚡
Awesome. Great tone.
4:03
Best cover of all time
That’s crazy how the putto to this sounds like this calling by all that remains lol love it bro I’m gonna learn this one next thanks for playing awesome and providing tabs dude keep it up 🎉❤🔥👍🏻☀️
Great song, great cover!
Nice cover man!
Can you do a cover of the stage with tabs?
This song is so much fun to play on drums
This song is just fun as hell in general.
Nice Cover! ⚡
This was awesome! You should do a cover of “I Am the Arsonist” by Silverstein. I feel like you could have some fun with that one!
Damn.. I have to learn this. Thanks for adding tabs. ;)
The fucking diving thumbnail, I'm dying
Amazing job
So Awesome Solo , Very nice! :)
What a coincidence I was just watching your cover of in due time by them! Would you consider doing an updated vid for that? I love the solo in that song
Part of the reason as daylight dies is my favorite album
Just listening to this song earlier❤ love killswitch! Haha nice playing sir❤🔥🤘
1:21. Then pause.
I just realized that Niks profile picture looks a lot like the Disturbed Immortalized album art
Any chance you would do a few videos on your PC/Recording set up, rig run downs, how you approach recording, filming etc?
those face pops get me everytime
This song is going to be difficult but so much fun to learn ❤😊
Well played sir🙏🏼
Yes a Cover of a Cover
Had to turn this way up for two reasons: 1 - It's a kickass song. 2 - I'm eating celery.
You make it look so easy.
Would love to see a "Always searching - If I Were You" cover or reaction from you that would be sick!
I thought I'd come and watch this thinking nik makes it look easy I'm sure I can do that too...not. Amazing cover
Magical
I dont how long itd take but ill make sure to learn this masterpiece!
Best kse song
Maestro
Respect!
That solo though 👌
HELL YEAH!!!
Hey the outro lead section sounds similar to the outro lead section for This Calling ( All That Remains ) ? ??🤔
Anyways great cover as always brotha !!! 🙏
wtf is this blast from the past
3:14 My strength's been tested, I wear the scars tha-
oh shoot, wrong song
Motionless in White - Timebomb please 🤟
