You were more productive in 2 days than me in my entire life.

These are the kinds of music I wanna compose personally, the others being electronicore and electronic rock. This tutorial actually helps a lot!

*Insert female clean vocals and screamo section*

Seriously freaking awesome work there man! :D Made me think of Nightwish a bit which I love!

[dmpunk]

Your songwriting just gets better with every video man- absolutely speechless!!

[Seshuo_alt]

This sounded so good and catchy. Also it sounds familiar during the chorus, its on the tip of my tounge

[AceHalberjt]

I've used plenty of your songs as boss themes in the D&D game I DM for before, but I'm saving this for some arc final boss or something. It's too epic and awesome to be used on some petty dungeon boss.

[PaintedSkull]

I didn't know I was waiting for this one! Honestly the original in this one is my favorite!

A new series which would be alot of fun would be like "How to make a Song like (fill in Band here)" .. that would be so damn awesome. Your content is unique Shady .. Keep it up !!!

[nicojuarez]

Smithers, bring me that men, I'm gonna make him executive vice-president!

[requiemzer]

I was waiting for this!
You did such a great job, keep it up <3

If you listen closely, you can hear the lyrics.

(4:35) know, though the road is getting dark
though we've lost so many friends
though the battle rages on
you must carry on

We will fight them till the end
Even if we can not win
and our hearts will be burning on
Till we face the dawn.

[NsLaxLife]

Fuck man. How do you keep getting better with each song? I do get the "disregard if you have a singer thing". I try to write leads and I'm like, "How do I sing over this? What do I do?" Regardless you're better than me at all this so keep it up!

[alexblurg]

I love your videos, one suggestion I have is show us how to make the drum and the bass parts! But other than that very good writing and keep up the great work!

[jazzyman]

If you made it more poppy it would sound like a pre-Disney power rangers theme song

[primedisappointment]

THIS MAN HAD THE TITLE TO AVENGERS ENDGAME YEARS AGO

[totallyanonymousbish]

I see what you did there in the beginning! I love me some Ghost Love Score!😂

[notfoundrick]

Sounds just amazing!! Reminds me old Blood Stain Child

[boim]

(I doubt you'll be checking your old videos for these comments but I'll still comment) Man, I'm just checking up on your old tutorials back then, and even back then your music was hecca gud. And honestly, it's too good to not be used smh. I know that you said on Twitter that it's fine to pretty much use any of your music for anything, but with how you're so criminally under-viewed and under-appreciated, I doubt that the music will be used to it's full potential or to even a shred of what it's worth. (Except the myth manga trailer, that was amazing)
