      I did a cover of the solo on my channel if you want to check it out. It's very difficult compared to the rest of Akira's music, as his vibrato is very tight and moves around quite gracefully. With that said, I think Mathias did a great job.

    Wow... what a cover. I can feel the love and respect you have for Yamaoka's composition. I LOVE how you tastefully added some more elements onto 'Betrayal', very interesting! More powerful and cathartic, but I still see the appeal of the original composition being more muted and skeletal. Thank you so much for making this cover; as a beginner guitarist and an overall amateur muscian, to see my passion and love and musical tastes reflected like this keeps me going.
    Also makes me further appreciate Yamaoka's work. Silent hill 2, the game AND its soundtrack, are definitely works of art. Crazy to see something like came out more than two decades ago.

    Thanks for covering this game,I always respect and appreciate who respect Silent Hill 2 or Silent Hill in general.We are one of the greatest community of videogames,people like you are the biggest part of it.
    Atleast Silent Hill Memories found you,that is absolutely honourable and you deserved it for your work.

    Wow! This is incredible!
    I have always found the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack to be soul-cleansing to listen to. I love hearing covers from different musicians, and I have to say, this tribute has to be one of my favorites! There are so many layers to each track and the production value of not just the music but the video editing as well is stellar.
    In your tracklist, you included all the familiar favorites fans would expect to find. Theme of Laura was masterfully done, and I was excited to hear the inclusion of the solo from the game trailer as well as the acoustic outro at the end of it. I also think your version of Promise (reprise) is one of the most beautiful renditions of the song I've heard. But in addition to these, you also surprised me along the way by covering several songs I wouldn't have anticipated. Each Interlude was so immersive and I don't know that I've ever heard anyone attempt to cover Betrayal and still manage to capture the emotion of the original!
    Anyway, I'm happy I found this underrated gem. Amazing job A++. I hope you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed listening to it. I'll be listening to this on repeat for years to come.

      Wow, thank you so much for such kind and thoughtful comments, Holly! One of the nicest things I've ever read. I had a blast putting it together, and is such a joy to see other fans getting some out of the various tributes in the work.
      I agree that Akira Yamaoka's scores are world class and throw the listener through a whirlwind of emotions as all good music does. Betrayal has been a long time favourite and am glad to hear it still preserved the atmosphere of the original. Am super excited to tackle more Silent Hill music in the not-so-distant future!
      Thank you so much again for the comments. Has really made my day and makes it all even more worth while :)

      ​@@MathiasT.Taylor On the bright side, it is fortunate that, unlike other tracks that never made it out of trailers (like Akira's instrumental version of "You're Not Here" from the SH3 E3 Trailer), we actually do have a rip of that outro without intrusive sound effects.
      I'm pleased to report that I finished listening to this whole video now. You did an astonishing job. I was impressed with how much effort you put into not only the covers themselves, but the videos that accompanied the music. Team Silent would be proud! Hope you do more SH covers in the future. SH4 has a lot of good music that we need more instrumental covers of.
