I know my schedule is all messed up lately, but it’s a pretty busy time – probably for you too~

So today I present a song that I wanted to make for a while. Long-time fans might remember a remix of Metalman’s Stage (Mega Man 2) I made in 2011, called Metal Bladeyard Level 3. As the name might suggest, this was already the 3rd version of that song. And as much as I liked the song, it sounds really outdated to me. So I tried to take the song to the next level. The result: Metal Bladeyard Level 4!

So here’s what I did: I changed the mixing and mastering completely, adjusted it to the way I handle songs for a while now. I also revisited some of the instruments (although none of the lead instruments). I also meddled with the drums and added some effects – and now it definitely sounds up-to-date.

What I didn’t do is add some fancy new part or anything, it’s still mostly the same. The new sound should speak for itself though. I feel that I succeeded in taking it to the next level, even if it might not be perfect, but to be fair: none of my songs is perfect to begin with~

So let’s take a listen:

Although there isn’t all that much to see in the video, this post wouldn’t be complete without it:

 

Now don’t bother looking for the older versions of this song – they are not available on YouTube anymore for a reason~

Time flies and the year is starting to take its final turns. I better start working on this year’s X-Mas Mix and a  worthy finale for this year…

I managed to pull it off after all, just in time for the spookiest time of the year! today I present you a Halloween Megamix: Halloween Mayhem 2018!

Some of you may still remember a similar thing I did 4 years ago, where I would make a medley of all the Halloween mixes I did so far. This is somewhat of an update, building upon the 2014 version – however, it only includes Halloween mixes which start with “Night of …” (also Mad Monster Mansion for an epic ending).

That means, this song references the following Halloween mixes:

• Night of the Dullahan (2013)
• Night of the Werewolf (2014)
• Night of the Poltergeist (2015)
• Night of the Skeleton (2016)
• Night of the Spider (2017) – nice >:]
• Night of the Demon (2018)

Here it is:

And here’s the video as usual – I hope there aren’t any more embarrassing mistakes this time…

 

I really like how this one turned out. I was thinking I should make these Mayhem mixes every 4 years or so. Next time I could just add some more “Night of …” songs to it, although these songs would get pretty long then~

If you don’t have enough yet, be sure to check out my Halloween playlist which includes all of my Halloween (mega)mixes so far.

I hope that makes up a little bit for my long absence. I wish you all a…

Happy Halloween!
