Guy from Italy doing Tolwyn/Klem Covers

[Tolwyn]

az0919, The Man Known as JD "Herrera", has been doing some covers of songs by Tolwyn and Mark Klem from Memento Mori and Memento Mori II, two popular megawads for Doom 2. You can find his stuff on YouTube: Anger (Memento Mori 1), Anger's Reprise (MM2), And Blood will Spill (MM2)

/me screams like a little girl from joy.

Tolwyn, you really can be proud of yourself. The Italian is doing a fine job (especially in Mark's Anchor), but the composers' contribution to this is more significant to me. In other words, the compositions really shine. I won't mention "And blood will spill" and many others which I adore, I doesn't make sense - everyone has their own favourites and there are just so many of them! (my favourites).

As for the videos, a real drummer will add some spice, but they are fine, as I said. The way they are made is simple, yet effective. I believe guitar/bass players would be able to learn from them (although if I were one, I'd just analyze the MIDIs ). No April Fool's Jokes, I read the news submission yesterday so I'm on the safe side.

[Super Jamie]

These are great! You must be so stoked :)

[DaniJ]

Nice! I don't particularly like the tone of some of the high treble solos (sounds too "bright" and "round" to me) but otherwise they're great.

[Tolwyn]

Proud of JD, humbled that he did this at all!
Anger is one of my favorite Doom songs of ALL time. I remember first hearing it, and to me, it's epitomizes Klem's style perfectly. That's why I had to tip the cap to it in Anger's Reprise in MM2. Full circle type thing.

Anchor is also there!

FWIW... Mark and I are... planning... something...


....maybe. ;)

[Reisal]

I like what I hear, I hope he does MM2 map01..one of my favorite songs in MM2.

Nice explorer!

Can't wait to hear markklem's "DLA", remastered. I really like that ear-cracking drone that plays continuously when using OPL mode.

Thanks. This is still one of the best songs for a megawad ever. Yesterday i fired up MM2, just to hear the song. One of the rare cases. where the song left in my ears for hours, if not days.

Just like Into Sandy's City, You Suck from Rise of the Triad, Aliens Say Your Prayers from DN3D and that one song from Perdition's Gate.

[ClonedPickle]

Oh, this is awesome stuff. Can't wait until he does some more.

Can't wait for this either!

[markklem]

This one works for 'Give In' http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=960298&content=songinfo&songID=7716936

[markklem]

And yeah, me and Dave are working on something. :)

[Kid Airbag]

"Give In" is still one of my favorite computer/video game soundtrack songs ever, period.

Totally psyched to hear what you guys are cooking up now :D

[Tolwyn]

It's still in the oven. Baking is almost done on a demo. ;)

[valkiriforce]

Heh, it's cool to see you guys are still active. Can't wait to see what you guys are working on.

Colour me well intrigued. :D :D :D

[valkiriforce]

Any word on this demo thing you guys are working on? I'm rather curious as to what it could be.

Yup. First song is done. Waiting on MARK to post it here. ;)
It likely isn't what you expect.

[Jimmy]

A Shaw/Klem collab of any kind would be darn awesome. :P

"First song" implies it's an album or soundtrack project or something. :P

[Tolwyn]

Mark, you gonna post the song or what?

:)

[Jimmy]

Shall I (or could you) give him a bit of a nudge on Facebook? :P

[Tolwyn]

I have a few times. He has a toothache, so... you know.
We're old, so... I figure the aspirin has to kick in. ;)
