Amazed at how talented this band is as a whole. Sounds so clean. As an Avenged Sevenfold fan...Respect.

Matt this is your time to shine my friend. This is where your years of training have come to be tested. You did good my friend. Halocene and avenged sevenfold would be proud of your cover right now. Well done F211

[rustyred]

Extra thumbs up to Matt on this one, great work on guitar 🎸

[thatlonewolfguy]

This is easily one of the top 5 covers you've ever done! Also that solo from 2:59 was immaculate, I love the first "phrase" I guess you could call it, the first 30 seconds of the solo from 2:59 to 3:30 but the entire thing is amazing, just Matt made that melodic part sound so good before the tasteful shredding

[jturunen]

Now this was a freaking tight shift, job well done! Special shout out to Matt for absolutely tearing that solo apart! And Audra did a very good job in adapting this to her own voice - it's a perfect cover when it feels it gives credit to the original one, but doesn't try to copy it, rather making your own take on it :)

[Crab]

I got to say, this is a great cover. One thing that stands out of the original, is not just the lead riff through out, but also how prominent the rhythm electric is from the moment it comes in, which in my opinion is what makes this song work. I know, that can be said of any song, but in this case, the heavy driven rhythm electric parts are crucial to help that lead line fill out. It's not just there to be a base for the lead line. Not many covers have it as prominent as it is here as is with the original. Absolutely great work.

[musefan]

Delighted to see you guys covering this one. It's not an easy one to pull off, but you all nailed it. As a guitarist, I know just how difficult it is to sustain that lead riff for pretty much the entire song. Amazing sound from that PRS too.

[moonlitegram]

Man, you guys are probably the most versatile cove band I've come across in a really long time. Obviously, many cover bands tend to play a wide range of songs. But often, only a subset of their repertoire winds up sounding really good depending on the range and tonal qualities of their vocalist and their bands attention to detail with tone and production. But the range of songs you guys make sound really good is really impressive.

The fact that you've killed it with pop songs from artists like Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, to bands like this, Metallica and Guns and Roses really speaks volume to your guys range and dedication. And as I've said before, your dedication to put out consistent music really does show in the content you're putting out now. Top notch stuff. I hope you're all really proud of the work you've put into this band.

As a true descendant of Baltic Finnish Vikings I love this rendition of Hail to King.
King Ragnar would have loved it
My Dad loves it
My Gramps that came from Finland woulda liked it
But As for me my I Love it.

[Tomastorful]

No way. Absolutely incredible cover 😍😱 super awesome amazing! Can't believe this song was covered by you guys 💜❤️🔥

[starkiller]

Matt killing that solo. I’d love to see you guys cover afterlife sometime

[madbull]

I loved this cover! Makes me want more! Can we get "Afterlife" next please? Or maybe "Dear God"?

[cyberforte]

Those harmonized "hail" vocals at the end of each chorus and in the bridge were a nice touch. Cool to hear that part with harmony rather than a shout as in the original.

Lyrics
Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hangin' in the streets to adore
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
Bringing daylight to the night (night)
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to take all your rights
Hail to the King
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
(Hail, hail, hail)
(The King)
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Born again but it's too late to atone
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid
Let the water flow with shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light (light)
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to grant you your rights
Hail to the King
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
(Hail, hail, hail)
(The King)
There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail)
When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to tame them (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to claim it all
Hail to the King
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
(Hail, hail, hail)

Lyrics

Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
…
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
Bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to take all your rights
…
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
Hail, hail, hail, the king
…
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Born again but it's too late to atone
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid
…
Let the water flow with shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light
Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to grant you your rights
…
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
Hail, hail, hail, the king
…
There's a taste of fear
When the henchmen call
Iron fist to tame the land
Iron fist to claim it all
…
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
Hail, hail, hail

[Reidlos]

This is not something I ever expected from you guys! This is amazing!

[Michael-ztrk]

As a rhythm guitarist I loved when your guitarist decided the best way to play the big riff in the chorus was just to completely beat the shit out of it. Top work!

[mj]

And who is the king today? Matt! Crushed it! Halocene did a fantastic job with Cole on this too and I'm so excited we have one from you guys too!!

[alex_rotary]
