In case someone is wondering: The lyrics being chanted in the background are in Hebrew. "Ishkokum mes mos of she'res" means "Clever man, child of the dead winged creature". Absolutely perfect!
You do such a good job of keeping close enough to the original to make it recognizable, but take it in a new direction that makes it feel very fresh and interesting. I'd love to see a LoK movie or series - your reinterpretations would fit perfectly.
This reinterpretation is IMPRESSIVE. Like, seriously, this is one of my favorite tracks from the entire Legacy of Kain series, and your rendition is simply outstanding. It gave me the chills from beginning to end! It starts gloomy and ends up turning just epic. I a word: impressive.
If a proper remake or remaster of SR1/SR2 were to be done I would hope they'd hire you to do the music. An honestly perfect re-rendition of the original song and style.
Thanks, you're too kind! Honestly, while I would absolutely love to do it of course, I'd just be happy if they did ANYTHING with the series at this point. A full remake of SR1 would be the best possible way to reintroduce the series to a modern audience, but that's probably too much to ask I guess... People these days have such short attention span, that I don't even know if it would be well received.
The elements added feel just about right. Sublime - yet effective. Drawn back, yet - very much in your face. And then, the choir opening the door at 3:11 to a cinematic encapsulation followed by the typical Soul Reaver theme. Then the timeless strings at 3:51, defying the time itself. Then crescendo at 4:42, sublime chanting, perpetual choir, exact strings. And then, a very sad truth. The composition ended, just like this lovely weekend. :> Thank you for this Sunday's gift. It was adorable.
I can't be the only one who would skip around the Dumahim to get the battle music to play heh. One of the highlights of the soundtrack! This is so great, it sounds creepy and haunting
3:52 simply glorious my friend, my jaw just droped by how good and modernize this sounds. This made me realize that maybe I love Soulsborne's music thanks to this game, and you made him justice, congrats.
Holy fuck you did amazingly. I remember when I listened to Misko’s interpretation of Ruined City. His experimentation while interesting in my opinion lost a lot of the dramatic flair that Lok’s music is known for, in exchange for a much more tense horror ambience. You managed to interpret it in a way that keeps the essence of the original while doing your own thing very well! Also adding dumah’s specific mixes of it was genius as each version is very much the same song but heavily altered to fit the mood very well!
Thank you! Yes, that's what I was trying to convey, I did my own thing but tried to keep it close enough to the original vibe. I love Misko's interpretations too, he's a beast, but he definitely takes it to another level of experimentation with a lot of edgier and heavier electronic elements, whereas I tend to keep it a bit more 'traditional' so to speak.
@@biodynamic91 Agreed, most of these recreations change everything just for the sake of sounding new, and accidentally make the reinterpretation sound waaaay to far off from the original content.
wow The Dumahim theme set is one of the most significant musical moments of my life and I rather prefer the original mournful 'Carmina Burana' vibes of it, but your way of approach is really impressive. Especially the world and taiko(referring to the "ronin" aspect of dumahim maybe?) elements. Nice job.
I guess you must love Bear McCreary's score for Battlestar Galactica, no? There are some similarities here and there, like at the beginning of the "Dumah Encounter" part. Anyway, your work is amazing, thank you!
Thanks! I love Bear McCreary's music for sure, although any similarities are purely coincidental, we tend to carry our influences on what we do, so I'll take that as a compliment.
@@biodynamic91 I will check it out, But yeah the Pillars and Sarafan keep from SR2 would be fantastic. I listen to this track you did a few times already very well done
You already told me you will do Elzevir any chance to also get the Sarafan Stronghold and the Pillars OST from SR2 ? Thanks in advance I can't stop listening to your LOK covers and also your album on Spotify is awesome
It's possible, I'd like to tackle some SR2 tracks at some point, and those are good candidates, along with Ariel's Lament. Thanks for listening to my album! :)
Obrigado! Não sei qual som te referes ao certo, mas uso uma variedade de VSTs para os sons orquestrais, uma mistura de Albion One, 8DIO Anthology Strings, Metropolis Ark 1, por aí. O resto vem de vários outros, incluindo alguns da Factory Library do Kontakt e alguns freebies da Strezov Sampling, por aí. O coro é mesmo o sample original usado no jogo.
@@biodynamic91 yh tava a falar do som do vorador principalmente daquele sample de bell / gong que da logo ao inicio, mas yh muita bacano adicionei te no insta vi que eras de leiria, reparei que tambem tocas guitarra como eu xD, eu sou de Peniche ate estamos mais ou menos perto xD
@@DavidRattlz97 Se for o que som que estou a pensar, é um orchestral chime/tubular bell. Qualquer biblioteca de percussão orquestral deverá ter o instrumento. Ali acho que usei da East West Symphonic Orchestra, já bem antiguinho. Se quiseres falar de mais alguma cena, manda mensagem no insta.
@@biodynamic91 obrigado men n sabia que se chamava um tubular bell thanks eu cheguei a manda te mensagem no insta mas deve ter ido parar aos teus pedidos de mensagem deves ter que aceitar acho eu
Thanks! I'd like to get them onto Spotify, but since it's not really original music, in those types of platforms usually you have to get actual license from the original copyright owners and all that, which is understandable, but might be costly and complicated. RUclips is a bit less strict with that stuff. But I'd have to really look into it and see what's possible.

As awesome as always. Kurt Harland would be proud of that one if he saw it, I'm sure of it
Amen

Some much needed context, ty for sharing
And now I am having way more appreciation for that.

Wow thanks!
Dumah has the best soundtrack in the game, after raziel

@@biodynamic91 The prophecy is true.
Honestly I can see all your tracks being used in a remaster or remake of the games. Great stuff.
Bro. What the hell? Words are.. I don't know. This is pro level stuff right there.
Hey thanks man! That's about the best compliment one can have.

Thank you for this Sunday's gift. It was adorable.
Thank you! Love your comments. Have a nice week!
Your rearrangement should better be used for any new LOK projects or we riot. It's so epic and faithful to Kurt Harland works
Dumah is my favorite. I have always listened to his clan OSTs. This is an amazing remake of those! Well done Kurt!
I can't be the only one who would skip around the Dumahim to get the battle music to play heh. One of the highlights of the soundtrack!
This is so great, it sounds creepy and haunting
Long live the Legacy of Kain, may the elder bless your work :)
The Dumah Battle soundtrack is one of my favorites, and this is an excellent arrangement of it, possibly the best out there.
Good work!

i wish they used these amazing tracks in the remaster
Your LoK reinterpretations are out of this world. This is one of my favourite Soul Reaver tracks. Superb work! Please keep making more.
Thank you very much! Yes, I plan on doing at least a couple more sometime soon!
Your reinterpretations are beautiful 😭I listen to them all the time. Thanks for keeping interest in the series alive.
Love how you kept the vocals pretty much exactly the same.
Yes, it's exactly the same sample, I felt it's too iconic to not use it.
@@biodynamic91 Agreed, most of these recreations change everything just for the sake of sounding new, and accidentally make the reinterpretation sound waaaay to far off from the original content.
2:40 spot on.
Magic
Magnificent..!!
Absolutely 💯 awesome 💯 👌
Another perfect reinterpretation!
We need a remake from this game!
Your remake from this song ist VERY awesome!
Great work! Absolutely loved it!
this is awesome!
I can't stop listening this!
awesome!
Impressive work !
i like it
Epic!!! Celestial!!! for training for sure
Absolute masterpiece!
This is amazing. :O
Damn, bro. This is awesome!!!!
Thanks!!
Excellent work! 😮
As for ideas for covering other music from SR - cover of necropolis themes using hang drum / hand pan. It will be ideal combination!
great job, keep it up with more songs from this great soul reaver 10/10
OMG this is AMAZING! Well done!
This is so fuckimg good I love this track. I need more soul reaver remixes. This is amazing 😍
Fantastic work.
I love the escalation. You did great!
Love your reinterpretations.
Hope to hear "Vorador's Mansion" one day.
Thanks! I actually have done 'Vorador's Mansion' a while ago, you can look for it on my channel.
@@biodynamic91 oh! I must have missed it.
Good bagpipes sample. This one hit.
The best occidental game by far.
Legacy of kain soul reaver 1 ps1 version
wow The Dumahim theme set is one of the most significant musical moments of my life and I rather prefer the original mournful 'Carmina Burana' vibes of it, but your way of approach is really impressive. Especially the world and taiko(referring to the "ronin" aspect of dumahim maybe?) elements. Nice job.
Your covers are so amazing. Great channel!
Thanks!
3:40 Kain with the purified Soul Reaver Vs The Elder God
Bravo, great cover!
I love it
I guess you must love Bear McCreary's score for Battlestar Galactica, no? There are some similarities here and there, like at the beginning of the "Dumah Encounter" part.

@@biodynamic91 Yes, that's what I meant. Unconscious influences. There are worse comparisons than Bear McCreary, haha!
subbed
wow, epic!
Spectacolare....
I wish my playstasion (ps1) was still working so I can play soul reaver again.
Simplesmente perfeito. 10/10.
Please do the Soul Reaver intro theme, and both Soul Reaver 2 pillars theme
I've done a Soul Reaver intro arrangement, you check it out on my channel.
@@biodynamic91 I will check it out, But yeah the Pillars and Sarafan keep from SR2 would be fantastic. I listen to this track you did a few times already very well done
Masterpiece!
I look forward to more LoK / Soul Reaver reinterpretations! Do you have plans for more, like Necropolis or Silence Cathedral?
Thanks! Yes, I'll eventually do more. Necropolis is definitely one I want to tackle.
I always wondered if the vocals had any actual meanings
Yeah, honestly I don't know either. It would be cool if they did.
You already told me you will do Elzevir any chance to also get the Sarafan Stronghold and the Pillars OST from SR2 ? Thanks in advance I can't stop listening to your LOK covers and also your album on Spotify is awesome

Is it possible to download/buy this in lossless?
Not at the moment, but I can put a link to it in the description.
@@biodynamic91 that would be amazing
I am sure RUclips audio compression is doing a disservice to your work
Hey, I've added a download link in the description, should work. Enjoy!
@@biodynamic91 thank you :)
boas mano muita fixe, que plugins usas para chegar a esse so muito parecido ao original, algum plugin the orchestra?

You could collaborate with Kyle Misko to do Ozar Midrashim.
Absolutely nailed it. Any chance we could get your LOK reinterpretations on Spotify? 😁

@@biodynamic91 with all the covers and "orchestra versions" uploaded by RUclipsrs there, I'm sure you wouldn't be in trouble.
