Here's my next cover! From what could be the best fighting game on Gamecube, Super Smash Bros Melee! I'm best with Captain Falcon btw. You know, cus FALCON PUNCH and all that. But yeah. I remember playing this and always being mesmerized by how aweshum the menu music was! lol I know that sounds a bit weird but that's how I was with this game. Then I went on to eventually get nearly every medal in the game. Some of them are bloody tricky to get though!

I always thought this song was kinda a reprise from 'Bowser's Road' from Super Mario 64. Maybe it was a subconscious decision by the multiple composers of this game to have that in there.

This cover is a bit longer than my other ones. Has some psychedelic influence in there at one point. I'm really happy with this one! Please give this track some love, like it, comment, whatever! Thanks very much!

Super Smash Bros Melee - Character Select (Menu 1) Cover by BlackearacheXD

Here's my next VGM cover, from Konami classic Castlevania 'Vampire Killer'. I've never played Castlevania myself but I do plan to in the future of course. I always remember coming across Castlevania music and hearing it thinking it's really cool so I thought hey why the fuck not bitch?!

My computer is messing up loads, I was actually lucky enough to even upload this without it going all ape shit and blue screening on me! lol So yeah, you're lucky this is up right now! 

I tuned down two semi tones making the tuning basically standard but the 6th string starting on D. In metal, they do this to make it sound a bit heavier but it actually does work! I had fun making this cover, the ending section is just stream of conciousness kind of recording I think. Whatever came out felt right for the song. 

Hope you loiked this cover!

Here's my next cover, from Final Fantasy VII when you get stuck in that desert prison and that other guy with the gun for a hand gets all like "What?" all up in ya face. I know the names of the characters lol Dyne to be exact. I'm trying to make funnys. You're lucky this is uploaded man, my computer has finally reached it's limits so I'm really happy i was able to upload this! 

It's a really rough mix though, everytime I'd try to mix or rerecord some guitar parts my computer would BSOD on me :/ no worries though guys because I'm getting a new computer on Monday so i'll have a more stable time expectancy with my VGM covers! So looked forward to next one! :D

This is a bit different than my other covers. I'd tried to arrange a less heavy distorted metal song and go with a psychedelic kinda thing. Sure it goes heavy near the end but meh, what can you do? lol honestly I could've done more with this, but with the status of everything happening I had to settle with what I got atm. Think of it as an experimental piece :P

I'm finally back after a breif interlude of recovering certain equipment and things so here I am with a new cover. I've actually been playing loads of Kingdom Hearts recently, I love the ps2 games but haven't got round to playing the DS and 3DS exclusives. And of course, I have no idea what happens after the first game storyline wise. That's the only thing I don't like about KH, the story is all over the place lol but coming back to it was a great experience all over again.

Here's another cover, this time from Final Fantasy VI and probably my favourite villian from any FF game, the theme of Kefka. I love this guy as a antagonist just because of the sheer hands down evilness of his persona. To the point where it's cliche, he's probably the best bad guy that's ever graced the FF series! I don't own this game originally on SNES but instead on the Playstation that came with the demo of FFX which I've unfortunately lost lol

Had some fun recording this one, especially with panning guitars at the beginning. Some grindcore elements near the end, wasn't exactly sure how to end it so I experimented with a few ideas and came up with what was recorded. This was gonna be a lot shorter but it just didn't feel right leaving it where I was going to end it. A lot of distortion and a bit of a nu-metal vibe as well now that I think of it.

Bomberman Hero - Redial (Cover by BlackearacheXD)

I remember playing this game YEEEEAAARRRSS ago! It must've actually been one of the first games I've ever played now that I think of it. At the time obviously I didn't realize the great Rob Brydon and Eric Idle voiced people in it! lol Fairly obscure song to cover I think but I think I did it justice. I recommend to anyone who's a fan of point-and-click adventure games. Really good. Also got some funny bits in it too.

This is my first cover where I discovered how to change time signatures and tempo at some point in the song! So of course I took advantage of the luxery and did my thaaang. Expect loads of more random changes and shit in later songs! I also did a terrible kinda 'Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies' by Biffy Clyro esc thing near the beginning. The idea came to mind and I was like MEEH so I went along with it. And I'm not afraid to admit there is some obvious 'Bleed' by Meshuggah inspiration near the end. Now all I need is a seven string guitar then I'm all set :P

Just finished this earlier, see what you think! I'll be honest, it's probably not one of my best mixed but what the hell, I wanted to show off my musical skills and that's what this shows! Sort of lol.

DKC2 obviously a classic, don't need to say anymore! David Wise is a leg end! Probably one of my favourite soundtracks for a video game besides FFVIII and Banjo Kazooie. I'll definitely get around to doing more from this game, maybe some from the first game too if I feel cheeky enough.

Marvin Dawe aka BlackearacheXD. I'm a musician and gamer (mainly RPG, Platformers and Survival Horror!) Here you will find my interpretations of video game music I both love and/or want to give a spin onto. Most of these are a mixture of experimentation while keeping traditional to the original with heavy alternative influences ranging from acoustic to progressive metal.
