Seashore War (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze) METAL/ELECTRONIC Guitar Cover

Seashore War is one of the best video game music pieces of all time. David Wise did an incredible job composing this, and I was actually almost scared to cover it because of how much I love the original. But as soon as I got the idea to do an electronic influenced metal cover, I immediately had to work on it. This song was pretty hard to arrange for at first, since I've only heard a few bands that actually do electronic metal in a way I enjoy xD. I quickly got the idea to use a lot of metalcore influences, since many of the more EDM oriented bands are core styled and I'm a huge fan of August Burns Red (the breakdown is pretty directly styled after them :P). My song structure in the beginning was heavily influenced by Babymetal's From Dusk Till Dawn, because that song is epic and really similarly stylistically to what I wanted for this cover. Anyway, I'm pretty darned happy with how this cover turned out; the main riff is one of my favorite riffs I've ever written! I hope you enjoy this cover and make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more video game and anime covers!
