DOOM | Plutonia MIDI Pack - Always Watching [Cover By DAR] - MAP11
100Plutonia's back on the menu! On today's episode, "DAR gets horribly lost in the archvile labyrinth!".
For the longest time, I had thought I never played Final Doom until I started doing work for the Doom Marathons here on the channel. So to my surprise, the very first time I loaded into this level and entered the maze, I was like "Oh hey, I remember this!". I don't know why I remembered this one level in particular, but I totally had a "core memory unlocked" kinda moment because of it.
I definitely remember getting all turned around in this level back then, and now, some 20-odd years later, things haven't changed a bit!
Also, I've been sitting on this cover for quite a bit now (it was just about finished back in September, I think). So my commentary on noodling and the music-side of things might be briefer than usual.
With that said, I really wished I could've used my violin for the violin bits. I instead opted for my favorite set of violin samples. The reason for this coming down to a combination of tone and skill (or lack thereof in this case.). I think I miiiight have been able to get a tone that worked, but the bigger issue was that there was no way I was going to be able to pull off those double-stops (I think that's what they were called) on the violin. I think that's also one of the reasons I set this one on the backburner. I got stubborn about wanting to record a real violin for this, that I wound up setting it aside for way too long. The problem was that I never did get time to goof around and practice on the violin!
Violin part aside, I think the rest of the cover turned out quite nicely! I really had a lot of fun riffing around on the rhythm guitar parts, as well as noodling around for the usual "DAR solo" towards the end!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my rendition of this catchy tune by Lippeth! Also hope you all look forward to more Plutonia! I dread, (but also look forward to) doing the next track, "Blood Rush". Man, that power metal is totally gonna kill me! I hope my shredding abilities haven't gotten too rusty. ~DAR
