Merton [INACTIVE] 🔒

If anyone wants to get in touch with me on discord, DM me on here

I'll be distancing myself from Bluesky for a few reasons
- Site activity is dropping
- Recent events with a vTuber that I used to associate with in some way
- Social media is getting too depressing, let's be honest with ourselves

Best birthday gift ever

DIY > AI

To speak in that native tongue, it's a bunch of scheiße. Outright embarrassing

A notification on Bluesky showing that Chiitan potentially liked Merton's recent post about his Castlevania cover

Is this legit? Did I finally make it?

YouTube video by Merton VG Metal Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - Rhapsody of the Forsaken (metal cover)

I'll admit, for this being my first ever entry into Dwelling of Duels, 4th place isn't that bad. Considering the fierce competition I had to go against

Either way, here's my take on Rhapsody of the Forsaken from Order of Ecclesia

So last night I might've done the unthinkable. I submitted something to this month's Dwelling of Duels competition
It's a first for me, so here's to hoping that I don't disappoint

This lesser known SNES JRPG has a bunch of awesome battle themes, but I had to go with this one because it's my favorite of the bunch www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Qd...

YouTube video by Merton VG Metal Mixwave - Sleep Token II Drums quick Demo

And just because I can, I decided to throw that little ST drums demo up on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoE6...

Sleep Token - II Unveiling an unprecedented level of detail and nuance, capturing every facet of Sleep Token’s iconic drummer. With an expanded arsenal of articulations, velocity layers, and meticulously curated tones...

While I'm a little bummed that I won't be able to do a full blown cover of Like That, The Apparition, or even Dark Signs (or maybe Past Self just for a laugh), at least I know that the drums themselves sound really good out of the box

I'm hoping for either Abyss or Xillia

The weeb shelf needs more wife

Hyte case too eh?

Congrats to Slowly Crushed, Zack Parrish, Hemophiliac, Steven Hewitt, and prophetik music for placing!

@idtent.bsky.social wanna jump on this?

YouTube video by Merton VG Metal Earthworm Jim - Submerged (metal cover)

I know this theme plays on two drastically different levels across different platforms, but I still wanted to do this really groovy tune from Earthworm Jim

I did a thing. Please watch the thing

But it's at least catchy

First time I've logged into Soundcloud after so many years, only to nuke the entire thing

Fuck them and shoving that AI nonsense down our throats

Had to wake up super early today to listen to new Sleep Token. And I didn't think it was possible to find a record that outdid Take me Back to Eden, which is still my favorite of the bunch that they've released

So glad I put my album pre order in a few months ago
