Mittsies - Titanium (DEMONKRAFT Cover)

To see an animation of DEMONKRAFT live is just... chef's kiss
But if that were to happen, this is what I imagine them to be.

Lucifer - Prophet 5, Prophet Rev2, Mini Moog, Midi guitar,
Justice - Oberheim Obx Synth, Rhodes EP, Korg Poly Synth, ARP Odyssey, Combo F Organ.
Judgement - Drums, Kawai R50 Drum Machine.
Beelzebub - Bass Guitar, Midi guitar, EMU-1 Sampler, SQ80 Wavetable Synthesizer.
Angels - Choir

Mix Engineer - probably Helltaker himself and the whole band.
Mastering Engineer - probably Helltaker and Lucifer.

More random L O R E to fill the description:

Titanium was actually the first project I worked on for this sequence of covers, But Epitomize felt more appropriate to put out first.
I had the idea of hairmetal and like a stadium. Bon Jovi stuff or even Van Halen. Yes it does go on a minor scale thus giving it that megalovania vibe but I decided to run with it. This has a more edgier vibe at the start especially with that synth bass arp.
Absolutely longer than than the Epitomize cover, I decided that one bass guitar solo (02:03) was good enough until it wasn't. So a drum solo (04:03) at the middle and a keyboard and keytar (06:15) solo at the very end.
From psytrance edm to... this weird chimera of electro rock that gives a very 80s vibe. Kinda reminds me of the prog rock bands back then.
My inspirations are Iron Maiden's Wrathchild (that bassline) and to some extent, John Bonham's drumming. I also like Tony Banks's keyboard sounds from Genesis and YES!. Overall I tried to go for an anthemic vibe and this is what I got. I hope you like it and if you sat through it then you just sat through 7 minutes of audio and I'm grateful for that.

Also more rambling.
"Think about it... APPLE PIES.. APPLE PIES!"
"Alright, I'm pretty sure Justice practiced a lot and since she's blind she kinda has heightened senses to know where the keyboards are?"
"Now why would they pick the Prophet 5. Probably due to novelty... or maybe it just sounds good."
"Then again you got an obx so why not use that instead?"
"Maybe a Juno would sound very cool and soft against the distorted synths."
"Phil Collins didn't really use reverb to get that 'bwah' sound of the drums. It was actually discovered due to the room signal feeding into the talkback of the console which was extremely gated and compressed. Yeah that's just natural room sound."
"You see the trick is to gate the room mics of the drums. After the gate you install a compressor and bring the threshold and ratio down. Adjust Attack and Release to preference (i prefer the a bit of a fast attack and a really fast release). I was using the FETISH vstfx. Very nice FET Emulation. Attack: 1 o'clock.
Release: 3 o'clock.
Ratio: 4:1."

"Did I mention Justice with that hairstyle is just my fatality?"
