DELTARUNE: Chapter 2 - "BIG SHOT" [METAL VERSION] (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Here is the FULL VIDEO for my metal cover of BIG SHOT from Deltarune Chapter 2!

This theme upon first hearing it immediately made it into my "must cover" department of my brain. That tends to happen quite a bit with Deltarune / Undertale boss themes and I was super excited to have that happen upon playing Chapter 2 for the first time!

This one in particular for Toby Fox's compositions gets absolutely MEAN sounding. I love how it has a darker tone with the tragic yet super vague backstory of this boss. This theme definitely captures that vibe and I was out on a quest to make an absolutely crushing metal arrangement of this thrashy theme.

Thrashy is the word here cause that was my mission statement on this arrangement. I went into it knowing the drums were going to be absolutely wild as well as the riffs. It was a ton of fun figuring out how to play these super weird yet very melodic and memorable riffs on guitar. I love how they translate into my style and I knew immediately this arrangement would absolutely slap.

Melody wise as well it was a BLAST putting together these huge amounts of layers on the theme. I'll admit I was pretty nervous at first when I was recording being like "how the hell am I going to mix all of these crazy parts together?" but I made it a point to get everything as tight as I possibly could cause you legitimately can't afford to be sloppy when there's this much stuff going on on a theme. I think I pulled it off!

Overall I had such a blast working on this amazing boss theme and it's always a great feeling to take on Toby Fox's awesome compositions.

I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think and thanks so much for your support!
