The piece from my little boredom thing (Finally finished!) where I had fans suggest songs then vote on the suggestions.

You all asked for Touhou 8: Imperishable Night

So here it is, in old-school metal!

Enjoy!

(Original Music by Junya Ôta; Rendition music composed and mixed/EQ/mastered by George R. Powell)

Great, but sounds a bit "synthy"

It's an exciting, upbeat headbanger; i've never heard of touhou before, but it's still a good headbanger nonetheless. The lead guitar sounds awesome, and contains lots of catchy riffs. Most of the background guitar sounds too synthetic though; kinda takes away from the metally intensity. Still a welcome addition, exceeding the average video game theme cover.

Setu-Firestorm responds:

Yeah, I agree. What happened was I put the usual distortion on the rhythm guitars that I did in the last couple rock pieces, but for metal it doesn't work. I should've used a different more fuzzy and bassy distortion so the original strat sound can't be heard tingling about the way it was.

Thanks for the input.

Great

This sounds awesome, it really sounds like a solo from a avenged sevenfold song.

10/10

Nice to see some touhou music in NG!

It's good to see a fellow newgrounder remixing touhou songs!

To be honest, I can't really say much about the song itself, although i think some of the guitar is actually synthesized.

Setu-Firestorm responds:

It's all MIDI, yes. All of my work is 100% virtual, done in a MIDI environment. I just try to make it sound as real as I possibly can, which admittedly doesn't always pull off optimally.

Prior to this, I'd never even heard of Touhou. I hosted a boredom thing where people would suggest video game music for me to cover, and of all the suggested, this one came up the most voted for.

Your feedback is appreciated, though.

Very nice.

I love the sound and feeling behind this one. The biggest thing holding you back is the sounds used. Other than that, great work.
