Heaven Pierce Her - ORDER (Symphonic Metal Cover)

a cover of the Minos Prime boss theme?! just in time for Sisyphus Prime?! say it ain't so!

(i actually had this pretty much finished a couple months back, but just completely forgot about it until now. whoops)

the mixing on this track isn't perfect, but overall i'm pretty happy with how it turned out (especially in the "sick fucking riffs" department. thank you for the brainworms hakita)

[estroBiologist]

geez, y'all, thanks so much for all the kind words! i really didn't expect this video to blow up in the way it has.

by popular demand, i've updated the Bandcamp upload with an instrumental version! i also took the opportunity to polish up some parts of the cover i wasn't entirely happy with, and overall i think it's a much more solid track than this YouTube upload. it also includes a Drive link because i am getting Dangerously close to running out of free download credits lol

Out of all the bosses, all the enemies.
Minos.
He bleeds with the blood of his own people. He is a Prime Soul because of his strife.
*And he won't hesitate against his enemies anymore.*

[VanGeo]

King Minos was the only one I regret killing

[doomguy]

Damn, Minos' last scream didn't sound like a dying cry, but like a last desperate attempt to kill the Creature of Steel. I even shed a tear.

[TheeM]

this video literally has thee BEST usage of the requiem leitmotif i have ever seen, the calm and peaceful regal orchestrated bit representing minos at his prime (badum pshh), when he and the lust layer had it all

instantly transitioning over to the fast paced hard-hitting version of the requiem leitmotif that represents minos’ yearn to beat you and to avenge his layer and the whole of humanity, minos blistering with rage

and that choir bit at the end was a really nice touch too this is a 10/10

[SVN_ETR]

The Requiem motif hits harder than a drunk dad

[SupremeDalek]

I like to imagine this is the music for the Ultrakill Must Die version of Minos Prime

[StepOne]

The whole buildup to the drop from 2:45 is straight up awesome, literally gave me tears not even joking

[Stage-Fryte]

Smash bros announcement: Minos crushes the competition!

[hubdweller]

Props to you for including Minos’ monologue, for a good number of people that is a key part of the experience of this track.

[Svatsniko]

1:10 i literally heard a faint 'Thy end is now!', brilliant.

[Ghostly]

Why does every cover of this song have a better requiem motif than the last?! At this point we’re approaching perfection.

[deathrobotk]

2:45 the little innocent sounding flute made such a huge difference

[GenesectX]

the requiem leitmotif goes incredibly hard, great work

[izrayelgarcia]

The part where he yelled the music all came together and gave me chills nice work man

[albhis]

Well placed monologue on the Requiem motif emphasizes the feeling of the very song itself sobbing whenever I hear it.

[richardgustafson]

I *have* to say, the combination of King Minos's death-cry with the tonal-descent of the whole piece was masterfully done. The entire cover is a lovely take, and I loved every moment of it!

[CreeperDude-cmwv]

Overlapping the defeat monologue with the beat drop really changes it's context. Almost like he had been dealt a soon fatal but non crippling blow, and while he knew his time was short, he would burn twice as bright in his last moments.

And then cue the second boss phase

[ddsr]

holy shit this is the best cover of order i've ever seen

[Lord-xmzn]

Oh my god, the music is ULTRAGREAT! I thought there is no way to make the 2:45 - 3:35 part even better, but you made it!
