The only reason I like One Winged Angel as much as I do is because this fight occured just before and gave me all sorts of hype & dread going into the finale
This song never gets any remixes. Not even from Square. A shame, because it’s excellent. Edit: Apparently, it actually WAS remixed in Dissidia NT, which I only found out just now. It sounds fine, but not as good as the remixes of Decisive Battle, Dancing Mad, or The Darkness of Eternity.
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear kor
Birth of a God might be one of the most unique battle themes in JRPG history Easjly among the best in the whole series Plus I love that beginning part that also plays in some other final boss themes
Description: "We just shattered a god with a star." Man, people who didn't watch "God Shattering Star" are going to be *SO* confused by that statement.
So fun fact, this song came out a few hours before my birthday. So this remix is in a sense one of the greatest gifts I've gotten, thanks Jonny! Anyways, neat new guitar! Looking forward to seeing it more throughout the rest of the year!
@@SlashCraftJack Kirby: poyo poyo poyo (translate: I have slayed gods for a living and you are saying first time?. Amateur my force shall be unrivaled!)
Well we can't slay Jonny. His guitars ignore DEF and MDEF, inflict an array of statuses similar to Bad Breath, and gives him dual wield with X-Fight, X-Magic, Quick, and Big Shield buffs.
Unless you are overleveled, this track on the original lines up to the fight quite naturally. There's a flow to it that shows Sephiroth's distain, and your perseverance and courage.
Was hoping for a remix or reimagining of this song in Rebirth, looks like might have to wait until part 3. So I’m back to imagine this is what it will sound like
I just beat the game last night and was so disappointed that this wasn't used against the final boss when Sephiroth was as that form. I think SE messed up not having this song in.
You can tell what you're in for the moment it starts, cranked the volume and was not disappointed with those howls from the blue. Just the right amount of keeping the old with adding some personal flair. Sooo good, gaaaaaah
Finally had some time to sit down and really take in this song. Birth of a God is one of the most criminally underrated boss themes in FF and especially in 7
Finally, someone acknowledges this song's existence! Such a great piece. Great job, as always! Also, LOVE the Atma/Ultima Weapon design on the guitar. You and Final Fantasy were meant for each other it seems
I listened to this song near the end of my first college semester so I’m both having horrible flashbacks to the work and an amazing time due to how good this sounds.
The entire soundtrack is banging... but this is low-key the best song in the entire game IMO and as someone who also does metal VGM covers, your interpretation of this song is 11/10 sir!
I remember fighting Bizarro Sephiroth...I was underleveled and was like, "Man that was kinda hard" then Safer Sephiroth came the fuck outa nowhere...I paused...and put the game down for a month. Came back, grinded, and beat the shit outa Sephiroth. Felt like a damn champion
I see you’ve unlocked your ultimate weapon, the Atma Weapon (or maybe just ‘the Atma’?),in anticipation for this cover. Nice! When I first heard the original song a few weeks back, I was rly confused as to how such a badass track gets overlooked. But you’ve done it justice!
Happy 2021! I love the new GaMetal logo, and I love this first song of the year! Definitely went back to this phase a few times when I played the game a few years ago 😅. I am VERY MUCH looking forward to the next song too, this is hype!
bro. i love the OG song, and i have to say your cover blew me away. as a musician myself im always scrutinize covers because they never keep the spirit of the original or just copy the original but sound bad. this blew me away, i thought it was gonna be a trash metal cover but it was god damn beautiful. thank you good sir for an awesome cover!
YES It's the one everybody always forgets exists, at long last! In their defense, it's kinda sandwiched between Jenova ABSOLUTE and *the* FF7 meme (in the original sense of the word), but still, sad - BoaG is a good track! Thus - it's very nice to see it finally get its due here.
Wow, you made some slight changes that really bring a lot of quality to the production value here. I didnt think it could get any better but you always seem to improve. Keep it up!
HOLY- Is that dragon wario from master of disguise?! Are we getting the last of the 4 boss themes to cap off the carpaccio/cannoli/terrormisu/regular boss quadrilogy? Or are we getting allegria gardens?!
Good taste this is so much more harder than the regular Seph music and it has more FF flavor to it definitely a favorite! Plus those rifts my guy those RIFTS!
Imagine Square Enix approaching you during the development of the final remake installment and saying "We would like to use your version of Birth of a God for the Bizarro Sephiroth fight".
Thank you thank you. Birth of a God never gets the love it deserves. Everyone always wants to make covers of One-Winged Angel, but this song hit hard too.
Listening to this song, I always thought it made the climactic fight against sephiroth whole and feel amazing. And then I beat it. This song is the confident first assault against sephiroth, and after is when terror and despair sets in, as you just try and survive long enough to kill him.
Hell yea, adding to my collection of FFVII metal covers. And this one is definitely #1 as most true to the original with creative additions. Thank you for this wonderful version!
Bizarro Sephiroth, everyone forgets about this theme and this boss fight, eclipsed by Jenova (prior to this one) and One winged angel (Safer sephiroth), Thanks Man. Edited: thanks to Harbinger for the correction.
It's not the birth of a god in Rebirth. it's a Jenova remnant being a shape shifter that she is and a manipulator. Fooling people into thinking it's something else... Music is always key, the fact there was no music there is why there should be no music there and why it shouldn't have been in Rebirth.
🎉@@lordsaladitoReally doubt it. Bizarro Seph already showed up, no reason for him to show up again. It’ll probably be a final battle against the whispers or something like that instead
You know what, that start with the wah's from the guitar... THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE! too often it's drowned out, not being the sharp focal point it should be, which sets a tone for a lifeless feel song that's meant to not just live and breathe, but fucking hit hard you need a potion cuz you're somehow in the red with health points, this does that and makes you want to use those megalixirs you saved for a what if, even though you can easily duplicate more, I low you do that cuz we all do
Finally somebody notices how much this theme kicks ass.
The only reason I like One Winged Angel as much as I do is because this fight occured just before and gave me all sorts of hype & dread going into the finale
Not gonna lie for easy listening I might just love this theme more than One Winged Angel
Every instrument sounds so epic in this track
dude IKR, when I first heard this 20 odd years ago it was hype as fuck
ikr
Square needs to show this theme more love
New Guitar: The Atma Weapon! instagram.com/p/CJ6YTGype4D/?igshid=1fvtdhmv4y701
Looks sick
Truly the Bard's ultimate weapon
Nice choice, I'd suggest Atma Dragoon, for uniqueness's sake ;) Keep on rocking, man!
That is just beyond amazing! You've told us your history with that boss (And it's in the name lol) and it suits you so well! You deserve it! Rock on!
As someone who just beat it in FF6 for a second time, it’s certainly a spectacle deserving of a spotlight
I love One Winged Angel but this theme is so incredibly underrated.
Thank you! Been preaching it since advent children.
Right, I feel the opposite..I feel OWA is massively over rated. This should have been the true final boss ost.
“Now, I shall give 2021 despair...” - Atmaroth
Or rather the opposite
He will take the despair away.
It already has after 2020.

You’re all so delusional. 2021 won’t be better simply because it’s not 2020. If anything, it will be even worse.
Haha 2020 bad 2021 worse haha
As great as this song is, I’m liking the new decor of his guitar.
Indeed it is.
It IS the Atma Weapon!
It’s from final fantasy VI, so cool
this guitar are sick
the perfect weapon for jonny atma, an atma weapon axe
Can we take a second to appreciate how talented Jonny is at literally every instrument. That drumming was insanely good around 3:30.
I was going to comment on the fills at 3:28, I've watched nearly all of his vids and this was the sickest fill i've heard him play. holy smokes.
There's surely a bit of talent, but it's mostly his efforts throughout the years that brought him at this level.
Secretly those are his clones like sephiroth has his own
FINALLY SOMEONE COVERED THIS SONG, AND IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ASS!
thats what our boy jonny does best
actually the Ferdk cover of this song is a personal favorite of mine and was my favorite version of the song until Jonny released this BANGER
I liked Powerglove's version
I would also highly recommend TetriminoVGBand's cover because it too is excellent.
I really enjoy the olof Johansson version
I'm always a sucker for throwing bits of the Prelude into a battle theme.
Was just gonna comment the same thing.
entering cynthia's room
that fill gave me chocbo bumps
Took me years to realize this is just a heavy metal remix of Sephiroths theme that you hear the entire game.
Leitmotif is what its called.
Eh, just barely. It just has Sephiroth's leitmotif in the middle of it so you don't forget this is a Sephiroth theme lol
This song never gets any remixes. Not even from Square. A shame, because it’s excellent.
Edit: Apparently, it actually WAS remixed in Dissidia NT, which I only found out just now. It sounds fine, but not as good as the remixes of Decisive Battle, Dancing Mad, or The Darkness of Eternity.
No one has been able to outdo the original
Until now
I always wondered why because this song is great
I'm sure Uematsu will do this theme justice in the third disc of the remake
@@ilikestuff9250 >The remake will end at Part 3 like the original
Optimistic, are we...?
Seriously though, I'm looking forward to it as well
@@NessBrawl64 Same
Square is looking better of now than they have in over 5+ years
Birth of a god huh? Of course Johnny would be covering a song that is obviously about himself with a title like that

FINALLY! One WInged Angel is great, but god damn this song goes hard and is overlooked and overshadowed so much.
I was watching Sephiroth’s Smash victory screens, and then the notification for this video popped up. I think RUclips is trying to tell me something.
I think it was too when it was recommending me videos from Donald Trump’s RUclips account. I think RUclips is broken
*RUN*
@@ajward9112 Damn, if that was intentional on RUclips's count, then well, that TDS man, it's real.

Description: "We just shattered a god with a star."
Man, people who didn't watch "God Shattering Star" are going to be *SO* confused by that statement.
Rebirth/Bizarro Sephiroth's theme rarely gets remixes, to the point the original version of the theme is still the best.
Until now.
So fun fact, this song came out a few hours before my birthday. So this remix is in a sense one of the greatest gifts I've gotten, thanks Jonny!
Anyways, neat new guitar! Looking forward to seeing it more throughout the rest of the year!

You do Nobuo Uematsu proud with this!

Dude. I cannot fucking wait for this battle in the remake.

That those chosen by the planet cover at the start is so cool haha

Let's goooo! Another GaMetal track to add to my videos!
The underrated Hype counterpart to Sephy's Epic theme.
I actually expected a human Sephiroth phase
Finally had some time to sit down and really take in this song. Birth of a God is one of the most criminally underrated boss themes in FF and especially in 7
I'm so glad you covered this! It's overshadowed by the next theme, which is understandable but still kind of an injustice.
This is by far the cleanest version of this song made.
we just witnessed this man cast fire3
That FF main theme integration into the solo at 3:00
One of my favorite Nobuo Uematsu themes! Epic cover!
I am absolutely LIVING for the little Prelude riff you worked in what an exquisite remix
Finally, someone acknowledges this song's existence! Such a great piece. Great job, as always! Also, LOVE the Atma/Ultima Weapon design on the guitar. You and Final Fantasy were meant for each other it seems
I mean, his little guy/mascot/person is based on a black mage, so...
And the Atma in his name comes from Atma Weapon
It's sad when people overlook this song. It's so epic and it kick ass. This remix makes it only better.
I listened to this song near the end of my first college semester so I’m both having horrible flashbacks to the work and an amazing time due to how good this sounds.

Hey cloud
Yeah Tifa
...This guy killed my freaking dad
Oh shit he did!
Cloud and Tifa have something in common then.
I got the reference
I like how this video has something from each of my favorite 3 Final Fantasy games VII, IV, VI.
This piece is brutal, WTF.. Easily the best remix of Birth Of A God..
One word to describe this: enegizing
I remember fighting Bizarro Sephiroth...I was underleveled and was like, "Man that was kinda hard" then Safer Sephiroth came the fuck outa nowhere...I paused...and put the game down for a month. Came back, grinded, and beat the shit outa Sephiroth. Felt like a damn champion
This is how it sounded in my head in 1997
Tbh, I wasn't expecting a Birth of a God mix. Seems like it gets overshadowed by One-Winged Angel, which has been remixed to death. Loving this remix.
Every remix made the song sound so underwhelming and powerless, you finally did it right. Thank God.
I see you’ve unlocked your ultimate weapon, the Atma Weapon (or maybe just ‘the Atma’?),in anticipation for this cover. Nice!

so awesome my friend! thank you so much for doing all this great guitar metal arrangements! And your new guitar "Atma Weapon" looks good!!!
Damn, this brings back memories in the most savage and kick ass way.
YES
It's the one everybody always forgets exists, at long last!
In their defense, it's kinda sandwiched between Jenova ABSOLUTE and *the* FF7 meme (in the original sense of the word), but still, sad - BoaG is a good track! Thus - it's very nice to see it finally get its due here.
This is my favorite song from the entire Nobuo Uematsu OST!!!!!
AMAZING COVER!!!
And I just recently finished this game and I’m now blessed with this cover. Good work my dude!
Damn, I just noticed the little Prelude addition to the cover in 3:01. I love it.
Is this the first time we've seen the drumming and piano cameras pan like that?! That effect REALLY breathes an extra life to the visuals.
Not exactly, the motorized camera was first used in the previous song, God-Shattering Star
Live human! You belong in this world!
It is not by your hand that I am never again given flesh
I wasn't brought here by

Tribute!? You give vampire's souls and turn them into humans!
The Atma Weapon seems pretty OP if you ask me.
Glad to see this theme getting the cover it deserves. Sooooooo underrated imo! Also, Atma Weapon is a beaut! 😁
Wow, you made some slight changes that really bring a lot of quality to the production value here. I didnt think it could get any better but you always seem to improve. Keep it up!

The 1 song I most wanted in the Smash update and felt so obvious. So close, yet so far.
Thank you thank you. Birth of a God never gets the love it deserves. Everyone always wants to make covers of One-Winged Angel, but this song hit hard too.
Yo the new thumbnail format fuckin SLAPS
New year, new cover, new guitar. Johnny once again knocks it out of the park, and it's my second favorite FFVII track too. Can't wait of the next one.

This song is the confident first assault against sephiroth, and after is when terror and despair sets in, as you just try and survive long enough to kill him.
How i did i miss this for so long. I've loved this song more then any other boss battle in ff7. Its just an awesome theme.
This may be the greatest cover of any Final Fantasy song from any of the games ever.
Hard disagree. His cover of Dancing Mad is a work of pure genius!
Hell yea, adding to my collection of FFVII metal covers. And this one is definitely #1 as most true to the original with creative additions. Thank you for this wonderful version!

A true underrated classic gets the treatment it deserves at long last. Phenomenal as always!
One of the most underrated themes in the game, with a terrific remix to boot! Phenomenal job as always Atma, you beautiful man.
Jesus this is insanely underrated.
love the Atma Weapon print on the guitar. Still one of my favorite RPG boss designs
That rotating camera though! I love it!
One of my favorite FF7 songs, I'm hyped to hear how it sounds whenever the rest of FF7R is shown
Holy crap, not only is this remix an absolute bop, but that new guitar looks absolutely sick!
I've just notice you didn't make any Kingdom Hearts themes yet such as "disappeared" in your channel. And that's a bad ass theme.
