Akira Yamaoka's "Promise" (Silent Hill 2 OST) Cover/Interpretation by Chi

[Chi_DE]

My second video game OST cover! (first one was the Mirror's Edge bomb "Still Alive", also found on my SoundCloud) This time it's Promise, from one of my all-time favorite games, Silent Hill 2. The OST as a whole is simply fantastic, both the ambiental tracks and these special sort of rock-ish tracks. Yamaoka's a freaking genius and I did my best to capture his song, but also giving it a touch of myself, especially in the heavier segment of the song.

I really noticed that I wasn't used to cleaner stuff, since almost all my recent work was/is heavy, sludgy stuff. It was nice getting out of my comfort-zone for a bit.

I think it turned out quite well, couldn't resist giving this song a heavier side, especially the second half of it. Didn't feel like doing a copy of Akira's song, I kinda' wanted to give it my own interpretation so to speak. For fans of metal and the like, my version might be a bit more to your liking than the original. an Oh, and I'm almost exclusively a rhythm-player. I hope the lead parts aren't too bad to listen to, if so, I apologize for butchering them. :v:

I hope I'll find some Silent Hill / Yamaoka fans with this, enjoy either way! :downs:
