"Creeping Dread" - Octopath Traveler Metal Cover

NOTE TO KATRIARCH I + II PATRONS: I'm trying something different with the early releases this month to see if it makes a difference. Instead of this link being available to you as unlisted 24 hours before release, it is available 48 hours beforehand. Starting Sunday night it will no longer be unlisted and will be set to premiere Monday at 11am EST. Having videos set to premiere puts them in subscribers' newsfeeds more frequently, so I'm experimenting with it to see if that results in more initial views.

Hey, everyone! I have been waiting a LONG time to finally get this video out. A ton of delays with filming and my personal life requiring a ton of attention got me incredibly behind on this, but I think it was worth the wait. I can finally present "Creeping Dread" from Octopath Traveler. This song plays in the game any time something ominous is happening, so I did my best to really push that vibe further and create a musical manifestation of anxiety. I was also joined by Patrick "Gunderslam" Gunderson who contributed a solo to this track, and a few tracks in the future as well. I'll have a link to his channel below. This song was part of a big compilation tribute album to Octopath Traveler, so if you want to hear more takes on the soundtrack (all genres, not just metal) check out the link below. I said I'd been waiting a long time to release this but to really give you an idea, I started recording this in 2019. My final mix was submitted to the label handling the album in March 2020. It has been a hot minute of just sitting on this and waiting to be able to show it to everyone.

I say this every time, but this track is DEFINITELY going to need your help with engagement so be sure to like the video, leave me a comment, and share it with anyone you know who likes JRPGs or this style of metal. One of the biggest video game cover artists on YouTube already released a guitar tribute to this game's soundtrack so I fully expect to be buried under him in the search results, so any help you guys can give with engagement will go a long way.

The song is available for download in my next post to everyone in the "Katron: Rank II" tier and higher. The original mix is currently available on Spotify, so remember to add it to your playlists there as well.
Thank you all for the continued support, and I'll see you here next week!
