Advance Wars: Days of Ruin - Hope In These Dark Days (Will's Theme metal cover)

Days of Ruin has a pretty kickass soundtrack, and it's a shame that it never had an official release, so we're stuck with the crappily compressed DS rip and probably will never listen to these great tracks in its full glory.

For this reason, I tried to get this sounding as close to the originals as possible, down to the mixing. I probably got a few instruments wrong, but we can live with it.

You dreamed of the next cover.

out of all the attempts to translate Will's theme from its DS version media into "real" instruments, yours comes the closest to capturing the tone and feel of the original. I've listened to a lot of em, and they either put their own spin on it or change aspects of it and it never hits quite the same as the original; then yours comes along and actually manages to hit within the target of how the original sounded.

Kudos for that

....also, the rendition of Brenner's theme into this and mashing them together was straight fire. Smashed the like button for that one.

Okay i know the song is fire but can we talk about the 7-8 hp tank firing on the 9-10 hp battle copters? Dude is asking to get shlacked.

[JamickGeass]

This is outstanding. Well done. Doing Brenners Wolves justice.

[fondedood]

Extremely Underrated cover. And having Brenner's theme play in the middle just gives me tears in my eyes 😭

[alexpena]

I'm absolutely in love with this cover, listened to it at least 10 times now. fantastic work!

[slayanmmo]

Holy shit this is good, it flowed so well from will to brenner

I'm a little behind the ball on getting into Advance Wars. During the long wait for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, I started checking local game shops to give Advance Wars a try. Dual Strike was the first one I found, it was easy to get into, I found the first GBA one next, that one was more frustrating.. I really didn't like my COs that crippled indirect units..

Oddly enough, I hadn't heard good things about Days of Ruin. I could see it wasn't using the same formula as the other entries, but the differing art style made me wonder how it played
I finally found it, on the cheap at that, and it's been amazing so far. I am roughly 5-6 story chapters in.
It definitely feels like a distant cousin of Radiant Dawn, but also clearly different from Fire Emblem or even other Advance Wars titles.
I'm really happy that there's still fans excited enough to create content

I didn't know this was going to transition into Brenner's theme and back again, that was unexpected, and very awesome!

[RareSpottedGamer]

Very well done. Manages to keep the soul of the song and not be obnoxious unlike some other metal remixes I hear.

[adrito]

If Nintendo ever releases a Remake/Remaster of Days of Ruin, this is how I imagine Will's theme would sound like. Great Cover dude!

[yenmeng]

Loving this!! Please do more for this under appreciated series!

[lawhammergaming]

Damn that merge into Brenner's theme, 100% perfection!

[Nintendude.]

With all this fear going on in the world due to the C-virus the only thing I have in mind is this awesome beat playing in my head.

Stay safe out there.

[linkbluu]

I've been waiting this for a very long and you made it perfect!.... I'm showing this to a friend of mine that also likes Advance Wars so he will subscribe too!.

[tanphamnhat]

I'm just here for the art, looks incredible!

[CarlosMW]

Wow....this sounds very nice!
You did a great job!
I'm going to suscribe and give you all my support for your next covers o:

[mineflameblade]

I would love to see more Advance Wars covers from you. Especially Days of ruin and Advance Wars 2

[i_am_jarvistm]

Mad respect for how this retains the same emotional impact that the original has while still having its differences to distinguish the two... Also, isn't that Brenner's theme tied in that I hear?

[shadowforce]

Cool remix I am a huge fan of metal and all other types of rock music!

[Circmspice]

Still scratching my head over a cadet becoming a CO in charge of leading an army in a matter of days

[JezzA]

man can we see a remaster of this one day?
