A cover of the Enforcers theme, as well as Fateful Confrontation, from the video game Trails In Sky: Second Chapter.
As said in the previous Trails cover, I am completely addicted to this series with it's amazing story and fantastic music! I seriously can't recommend these games enough.
There are a ton of songs I want to cover from this series, so there will definitely be more to come, and let me know if there's any you want to hear!
So trying to keep things spoiler free, Enforcers more or less serves as the main theme for the main enemies in the game, and Fateful Confrontation is the battle theme against said enemies. I thought it was super cool how the two tracks are related as they use the same melodies for certain parts, with some cool variations. I love both tracks so I thought it would be a good idea to combine the two into one song! Definitely a more shreddy cover which I haven't done in a while, but it was a lot of fun and a good challenge to learn the scale runs in the song. To keep things in theme with the previous Trails cover, I definitely wanted more keyboard parts to keep that proggy vibe, but these songs are darker than the previous Trails cover so I leaned more into the intensity and had the keys more as layers rather than at the front of the mix. I purposely used a lot more metal influences that I wanted to to reflect in the song, particularly those djenty chugs, the metalcore riff that's very reminiscent of "Like Light To The Flies" by Trivium, and then obviously Dream Theater with the time sig riff and the outro, that I wanted that down tempo feel like "Dark Eternal Night" and "S2N".
From a mixing point, this is also one of my favourite covers in a while, super happy with the bass tone (thanks to my Darkglass pedal!) and happy how I managed to get a pretty intense drum sound too to fit the song.
I really hope you enjoy this cover cos I had so much fun making it!

deeeym!! RIP replay button. awesome man!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked this one!
Nice job, another banger. As far as specific suggestions go, Destruction Impulse comes to mind, but really I'd be down for anything from this series
Thanks a lot! Yeah that one is definitely on my list! I'm completely open to suggestions, definitely wanna keep a balance of what I wanna do vs. what people would like to hear
Nice, more Trails! I always really liked Fateful Confrontation, and combining it with Enforcers gave it a nice buildup. Really awesome job with this one!
I had to edit just to say that I really love the riffage in the background around the 1:50 mark. Reminds me of Ascendancy era Trivium, which I absolutely love! :D
Thanks! Yeah it was definitely my intention to use Enforcers as a cool, drawn out intro for Fateful Confrontation.
And that riff was definitely inspired by the Ascendancy album specifically!
Nice shirt!!! And excellent cover!!! So much energy and so much prog 💜 it's perfect
Thanks a lot! Any opportunity to where the Dream Theater shirt haha
beautiful
Great cover, man, pretty unique
Thanks a lot!, glad you liked my take on this one!
Amazing cover bro, hope you get more subs and views
coming your way soon, you deserve it :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, really means a lot! If you can share the video it would be a huge help for views and subs!!
you need more views, man.
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it and think so! If you could share the video around, that would be the best thing for it, and would mean a lot to me!
Yeah I was just listening to the soundtrack and was wondering if anyone had covered The Enforcers. Top stuff. The Crimson Stigma from Sora no Kiseki the 3rd would also be great on guitar.
Thanks a lot! Yeah I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone else covet Enforcers - I guess it gets over shadowed by Fateful Confrontation. Thanks for the suggestion, I definitely need to cover some tracks from Sky 3rd!
Nice!
This is fucking nuts. Dude did you work all the for this out yourself? The drop at 2:58 is goosebump inducing. Desperately trying to find a midi of Fateful Confrontation to play with and cant find one for shit =(
Thanks a lot! Yeah I worked it out all by ear! I'd be more than happy to share the midi file I made when transcribing it, but there's a lot of creative liberties, especially with chord progressions and things so it won't be exact.
@@Sumask21 the fact you did this all by ear is even more crazy to me. Such talent. If you wouldn't mind, I'd absolutely love a copy of the midi. Just to play around with really. I'll be able to work out the base notes from that I think. Would love to do a dance/DnB version. Been wanting to get back into producing for 10 years now so would be a good place to start and mess about really. If you don't mind sharing that is. I can obviously tell how much time, work and effort went into this.
@@AdamNRG316 Sure thing! I usually keep things like midi, tabs, sheet music etc as a Patreon reward but but for the occasional request I'm more than happy to share! Just send me an email and I can get back to you
@@Sumask21 Just dropped you an e mail.
Can Exceed! be even more metal than it already is? I wanna find out
Exceed is a great choice! I can certainly add it to the list, but between the 10 games that our out now, there's a lot on that list!
Sounds like dream theatre right?
Great cover sir!🤘
Glad you liked it! Yes I definitely don't hide my Dream Theater influences haha!
@@Sumask21fair, because fateful confrontation felt like a Dream Theater tune to me.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
nice >:]
Thanks!
🤘🤘
