It's not just the music that kicks ass, it's the lyrics as well. Both Raiden and Armstrong understand that their goals are the same, but alas their methods drive them to conflict. Only one will win, but both wish things could've been different.

[SonAmy]

"How can you play so well!?"

"Nanomachines son!"

Great work on the cover!

[TheLeanedOne]

I just love when people add extra stuff like the background vocals and the wonderful scream at the end.

[leonfrost]

I heard this song thousands of times on YouTube. So many people covered this song but mannnn yours is the best cover I've heard out of all of them !!

[brunoverde]

One of the best metal cover channels of whole youtube, hands down.

Thanks for delivering masterpieces everytime man!

[silasnormile]

I was wrong about you.... You aren't making these covers to get a YOU'RE JUST MAKING THEM BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE SONGS, AND YOU'RE BATSHIT INSANE!

[jetx]

Getting goosebumps every time at 1:25, so godlike.

[randomfellowog]

I can't get enough of this cover! It really just enhances that feeling that the original song gave. That one feeling that tells you "this is the final boss. This is it, give it your all." But at the same time it still carries those tragic vibes that the first one did, because your fighting someone that, at the end of the day, has the same goal as you, but you *can't* let them reach it their way. And I think the epic orchestra and choir backing up the metal and vocals really just drives that home.

Just. Amazing job, dude. Amazing.

[YuuSen]

Damn, this is one of the most epic Metal Covers I've listened to of this song. This one is really unique, I love your choice of input for those sick metal screams (and also going for more chesty vocals at 0:52 into the high notes we know at 1:11). I really loved those strings/choirs at the intro too, gives it like a cinematic feel which I can't get enough of (I love Filmy/Soundtrack stuff all around haha). Combined its a freaking epic cinematic showdown. I love it.

Also, those drums go so freaking hard. Love those blast beats omg haha. Amazing cover man!
🔥🔥🔥

Edit: There were some things I missed I'm hype asf over XD, so many cool things in here!

Those horns!!! So this is really like a symphonic metal cover; so freaking awesome. I always love when bands/musicians add strings and stuff into their songs; I feel like metal and strings are like the totally unexpected duo that just immediately go so well together (its perfect)(Ex. Fall into your Hands by Trivium).

I'm gonna have this on replay so many times lmao; thanks for this hypeness!

[Vurreburr]

I keep coming back to this one over and over and over and... =)

[aaaaatttt]

still the best cover out there, this one added so much to the original song

[Goku]

Lyrics:

Standing here I realize
You were just like me
Trying to make history
But whose to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down
I think we’ll both agree
That violence breeds violence
But in the end it has to be this way

I carved my own path
you followed your wrath
But maybe we’re both the same
The world had turned
So many have burned
But nobody is to blame
Yet stating across this baron wasted land
I feel new life will be borne
Beneath the blood stained sand
Beneath the blood stained sand

[JS-cgjz]

This song is one of the very good songs ever and it deserves more likes than it already has

[MaryJade]

Insane arrangement, harmonies, and vocal range... got me hooked sir!

[siegfried]

This might be the most Epic Version of this Song on YouTube!

[JezebelNeverDied]

Absolutely stunning Skar. You brought so much raw emotion and pain to this song and your guitar & bass playing were right on point. It makes me want to go play MGR now.

[andreasmuller]

You are the only artist where I mean "every song sounds the same" in a good way. You and maybe Sabaton. Fantastic work as always.

[mycaruba]

can there be a 1 hour version for this song? always love putting revengeance songs in dnd campaigns, and you do this beautiful masterpiece justice

[Brendan]

He’s back! Love your covers, keep it up!! This one was absolutely insane! Fantastic work!
