What if Harvester of Sorrow was on St. Anger?

Anyways, I’m really inspired to join the scene of Metallica album crossovers. I wanted to do something more than just transpose the song to Drop C and put in the dreaded St Anger snare. I thought it would have almost all different riffs and frequent time signature changes, as well as Papa Het’s aged voice. I know it’s possible to transpose vocals without making them sound weird but I haven’t figured that out yet. Please be brutally honest with your comments and thanks so much for listening!
More stuff FINALLY coming soon!
I can't wait to see, and I'm sure from this and the dyers eve on kill em all it will be good, and worth the wait
Actually sounds really badass
Harvester of Sorrow would sound badass if it was played on a ukulele lmao
@@RyKaB17 no
@@johnnyschaefer2804 Yes.
Black metal harvester of sorrow metallica
Man took the "trash can" quite seriously :D
@Martin Connolly Trash Can Drums
as much as people hate St. Anger, there’s no denying it’s probably their album with the most recognizable sound
This is probably the best interpretation of James' dry St. Anger vocals! Sounds great
those are his vocals pitched down
Congrats the snare is even worse than the real SA lmao !
What if For Whom the Bell Tolls was on St Anger?
Definitely doing that at some point!
Although I must ask, what do you think the bass intro would turn into on St. Anger? Not only is the bass barely audible on any part of the album, but there’s no way the guys would give Bob Rock that big of a role in the songs. Do you think maybe it would just turn into a lead guitar part?
Edit: I DIG the idea, and I’m already working on demos for it.
@@operationthrash9645 I just happened to see this comment and if I may suggest: definitely put it as a guitar part, but make it a cleaner and slower guitar part kinda like on frantic. Idk if I’m too late lol I was just suggesting
@@zanem4526 not late at all! I’m actually almost done with several crossovers now and I was still wondering what to do with that section
dang, this sounds really good. you managed to capture the vibe of st anger. trash can snare and all. I love this sub genre of the metallica fandom, where people do fun what if remixes of certain songs. I would also love people from this side of the fanbase to maybe do remixes of video game songs. like for example, i've recently started wondering how big shot from deltarune would sound like on ajfa, as that song is fast paced which is perfect for ajfa's style. also, you somehow managed to make harvie sound heavier, which is a huge accomplishment in my eyes.
Do you plan on doing more of these? I find myself coming back to this semi-often, and I'd love to hear more!
Absolutely! I’m actually posting a teaser in less than a week.
@@operationthrash9645 awesome!
the vocals are defo tough to work with but i love the guitar, great stuff overall! always love to see st.anger getting some respect! cant ever have enough reworks for my training playlist
bro i see you everywhere and that pfp catches me off guard everytime lmao
Ey that ain't bad for your first time!
I can provide you with some points that could help you out:
- Take into consideration of the whole final mix. Try and get each instrument to be as levelled with each other 'cuz the drums are drowning in the mix
- Speaking of drums, try to get every part of the drums levelled to ('cept for the snare. Cuz y'know, trash can). And if you wanna get rowdy, you can really play around with dynamics of the drums to give it a lively feel.
- You'll love EQ mixing when you get used to making songs. Learn the different eq spectrums of an EQ graph and see how you can mix songs much better (heck. You can even mix st. anger to sound much better, but get ready for the comments if that does happen)
- At various parts of the track, I can hear slight cuts in-between parts. You can try to clean that up a bit. It'll sound much cleaner.
- I'm not much of a St. Anger fan, but when you're gonna make other songs, you can go for more variations of riffs. I believe st anger doesn't have a lot of riffs in a song so I guess that's fine.
- Ah, the vocals. Search up this keyword 'formant shift'. You can thank me later.
That's pretty much it. Honestly, I can't even come up with that for a first-timer! Nice job man! Keep it up \m/
Is that how you can pitch shift a voice but keep the tambre close to the original recording?
"Formant shift"? I've been searching for years on how to do that.
Thanks again for your suggestions and help. I’m taking all of it into account to the best of my ability in the next project.
you manage to make lars snare enjoyable great job 👍
Half James Hetfield half Ivan Moody (vocals)
shit, it sounds just awesome, something that stands out from a number of videos like "what if..."
The snare is a little to high. Needs to be a touch deeper. Otherwise this sounds great. Oh yeah and oh my god the vocals. Ffs. Vocals need some serious work. Can’t wait to see what you do in the future. Consider coming back to this project and touching it up. It’s an excellent concept.
Yes the vocals are absolute vomit. Still trying to figure out how to formant shift like StateofMercury does. If I do get it figured out, I may revisit this.
@@operationthrash9645 easy way to do since theres no isolated tracks for harvester, try to find some SBD audio for harvester that's like kinda mid/late 90's . I like this though but I would like to listen to the instrumental.
More St. Anger stuff please.
You guessed it ;) Check out my latest!
@@operationthrash9645 Damn, the Creeping Death riff sounds absolutely brutal. You're doing something most people are afraid to mess around with, and that's St. Anger. You've earned yourself a subscriber for that!
@@operationthrash9645 Bro I'm still waiting.
@@JaxTheRiffer I apologize for my long absence. I promise I haven’t forgotten! Some great stuff coming very soon.
@@operationthrash9645 Hell yeah
Yoo this is really dope! 🤘
Wow. I'll be honest, lots of people rewrite songs when they do these sorts of videos. But the way you rewrote this song to fit into st anger was absolutely brilliant. This version is so different to the original but you can still tell it's harvester. Nice work
St Anger is really powerful album no matter what
I love how you legit copied the St. Anger style of structure! Doing as many variations of the same riff as possible & make sure you do every variation every time it appears. Have as many drawn out syncopated bass/drum hits over the main riff / "building tension" sections as possible.
So I was just watching the video today by become the knight about why he didn't like this song, and one thing that I was thinking was that if it were on a different album, it would genuinely sound better. And if it were on st anger, it would genuinely sound a shitload better. Thanks for making this video!
This is an awesome remix! Thanks for making it!
Very cool rework. I can take or leave the intro but once that clean riff comes in, it sounds great. This channel has potential to become the next stateofmercury.
Really great attempt
first ten seconds are just gorgeous
Now, this snare sounds like it was taken from some very underground grindcore band
I can’t find where the comment went that asked. But for anyone wondering, I didn’t use any special “extracting” software to get these vocals. The original AJFA harvester vocals cannot be found anywhere. In fact, the only two available true Metallica vocal tracks you can get anywhere for this song, is Nimes 09, and some other performance in 1991. Obviously Nimes 09 is much closer to St Anger James than 91 when he was arguably still in his prime. They are already autotuned when you find them (no idea who thought it was a good idea to use Autotune in metal) and sound like poo only because I had no idea how to formant shift when I made the project. The vocals are performed in Eb and were transposed 1.5 steps down to C, giving them the awful nasal effect that I didn’t know how to fix at the time. Hope this helps!
@ubp productions Thanks for your questions! And I wish there was an easy way to “extract” vocals like that. I don’t want to say it’s impossible, but next to impossible for sure. For now, we can only get original vocal tracks for Metallica songs that were on guitar hero, plus a handful more that I have no idea how people got their hands on.
@ubp productions I guess long story short, if you want to do this with a song and can’t locate the original vocals, see if there’s a live performance that has the vocals available. Maybe an acoustic session that has them. Example, the only other good reliable source for Metallica is the S&M 1 performance. If not, as a last resort, the closest to manual extracting I’ve ever gotten was with a program called Melodyne. It was still muddy at best, but not bad for a last resort.
Pog
If harvester was ever on st anger, I wish I would've sounded this good
The rework is very cool! Sonically it's not quite up to my boy state of mercury, but the rework is very well done which is the more important part anyway.
True that man. I love his work. But with nothing but GarageBand mobile and only somewhat decent sense of how the albums were composed, I’m afraid this is as good as gets for now. But I definitely would love to get on the level of Mercury and Bryce Barilla someday.
That guitar tone is dominant. This is one my favorite of these!!
That opening riff was raaaad
That channel of yours is pretty rad too 👍
Saint Anger: such an underrated album for its lack of solos. It's unfair.
Only a few decent songs on the album and I love Metallica. The bombed on this one.
I like the re-creation of the snare. Good job, bro! #metalupyourass
This is amazing!
5:07 - 5:55 favourite
idk why but this is just perfect
i want this with an clean ai vocal cover, would be epic
Why i like this?😅
Great job, this does really sound like a St Anger song 👌🏻
Love it. The quick strumming of the guitar sounds like a machinegun. It's awsome. Make a version with normal drums too!
@1:13 would be awesome for a horror/slasher type of game soundtrack. it reminds me of the soundtrack of the game nightmare creatures.
Freaking awesome 🤩
Very cool dude. Im trying a few crossovers like this on my channel, how did you manage 5k views with 60 subs???
My best guess is that the more likes you get, the more likely your video is to show up in the recommended videos of people who watch a lot of Metallica stuff. From there, it multiplies because album crossovers are still a fairly popular trend. A lot of it I’m sure is luck too.
@@operationthrash9645 Well ya got yourself a new sub, us small channels gotta stick together
5:18 That evil laugh 😈
sickk
BADASS
Almost has a six feet under feel to it in the guitar with the slides
Zakk Wylde on vocals \m/
St. Sorrow
Drums aside (I think they sound tinny - spot on for St Anger but tinny nonetheless) I think this sounds awesome.
I never listened to Harvester of Sorrow, but I have heard St. Anger, and it sounds pretty like a song on that album. However, Het sounds more like the lead singer of Volbeat.
This is amazing. The only issue is that the voice is a *little* off. Besdies that, amazing work! I would actually love to see all of AJFA in St. Anger style.
sounds grrreat
Actually this is better than all of the songs of st anger
Harvester is probably the heaviest song out there
Oddly enough I find the snare better here
I could get right behind this. Vocals sound more like David Draiman.
Actually sounds pretty sick, if the snare was a regular one. it would sound better, but that's just me. 🎉
Is it bad that I actually like this
This is badass
This actually slaps
That snare hmmm i love it
Wtf, the vocals, they are perfect
And justice for st Anger
Really good job🤟🏻
This is Just Like Seether Tone respond,
Actually a pretty cool cover
What gear do you use?
Bottom of the barrel is an understatement- iPhone 11 with tascam interface on GarageBand. That’s why the guitar always sounds rough on all my videos. But I make it work with a decent amount of musical know how. On crossovers, I add whatever Metallica stems I can find.
The snare on this song cracks me up, yet sounds better than what Lars The Tin Man Ulrich used.
Right on. As much as we all love the guys, it is beyond me how they thought this was a good sound.
Harvester of Solo
Epic
Making a not great album sound better nice work
Damn… the vocals are pretty fucking spot on… maybe pitched down a LITTLE too much at some points. But. Still.
I'd love to hear this in a professional mix
I don’t know about professional, but I’ve got much better gear now and I’m considering redoing this.
@@operationthrash9645 Please do bro I know I'm a year late but we need it!!!
St Anger !
The sneare sounds like a china
Suena muy real al sonido del album
What if enter sandman was on st anger
If this is Harvester Of Sorrow, Imagine what Shortest Straw or Dyers Eve would sound like...
ruclips.net/video/RILeR_xLBMw/видео.html Shortest Straw in St Anger
If done by me- like shit is how it would sound. By state of mercury? There’s no limit to how good it could sound.
I know the snare on St Anger is horrible, but this one you did is beyond horrible! LOL
Funnily enough, when I googled “St Anger snare sound” this is what I got. The website with the download claims it’s straight from Frantic’s drum track, but even after the thousands of times I’ve listened to the song I can’t catch it. The only snare hit in the entire song that’s even remotely close to this abomination of a sound I downloaded, is in the rapid snare hits in the intro. And yes, it is BEYOND horrible lol. It’s one thing to have a high pitched snare with the wires off, it’s another thing entirely to hit a freaking manhole cover with a shovel lmao.
Oh and by the way this is after some slight editing. If you could believe it, it was even worse before.
What If Shoot Me Again was on AJFA
If I had the means of recreating the guitar tones etc I would eat that up.
@@operationthrash9645 or End Of The Line on St Anger
Not liking the super muffled kick drum, but this sounds awesome.
Очень круто!!
That main riff sounds like shit because of the St Anger filter it just goes to show that good riffs like SKOM and Shoot Me Again would be good say they were on Master of Puppets or Justice
Slipknot and Lamb of God are only allowed to have the Marching Band Snare sound.
This has my mind going spinning. Like I can't lol.... That snare isn't accurate though. Sounds more like Clown in Slipknot on the steelpan than the ridiculous Anger no snare just drum. Lars even explained the shitty tone himself. Besides that, this is a cool different take. I liked the original best though. Cool what you did though, impressive!
...And Nu Metal for All
Dont get me wrong,its badass and hard af as is,but if you speed it up tp 1.15 or 1.25 it gets better
Барабаны решают
The best part of the st anger album is how the snare sounds like a 3 year old is smacking a metal bucket with fucking tennis rackets
Oh come on, the trash can snare on the album did not sound as shrill and tinny as this!
Exactly, the one on the album is more of a coffee can. This is more of a baseball bat on a vending machine
Ballpoint pen + folding chair = St Anger snare
Thrash can
The things that you need to make a St.anger:
A piece of tin for the drum
An Electric guitar but you need just E A and D string
A manager who playing bass
The worst ever drummer in the world
A rhythm guitarist who just plays E A and D strings
A solo guitarist who never play solo
Or in my case- a guitarist who’s legitimately incapable of playing solos 👌
If you respect Mustaine you should Say that
So glad Harvester was not on this album
