![]() ![]() “I vowed not to wash it until I was finished as encouragement.”Īs for whether we’ll ever see Hall give The Two Towers and The Return of the King this treatment, he’s not giving any false hope. The guitarist also joked about the fact that he wore the same World of Warcraft Horde emblem T-shirt for the entirety of the four-day filming process, a necessity for continuity. He clearly took no shortcuts here, noting that “of course” he used the extended edition of the film, as opposed to the 30-minute-shorter theatrical version. He also laid out the time frame: three months between tempo-mapping the film, programming drums, and recording all the guitar parts, and then another 10 days for mixing, filming, and editing the video together. Thankfully I had the orchestral score as a reference guide which sped-up the process significantly!” Once tempo-mapping was done it was ‘just’ a case of laying-down all the drums and guitars. ![]() ![]() I then had to painstakingly tempo-map the entire movie audio to a grid so that I could program drums over it. “The majority of the dialogue is in a single channel, so I could mute it and be left with an almost-instrumental version of the movie. “I imported my 5.1 surround-sound version of the Blu-ray into Reaper so I could split the audio tracks up into separate channels,” he wrote. Hall discussed the specifics of how he was able to bring this metal arrangement to life in the description of the video. Several months later, I proudly present the entirety of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring presented as one giant Metal song!Īs you can imagine, tackling a project of this size was no small feat. So as a culmination of months of pandemic-induced boredom/frustration/madness I plucked up the courage to finally do it myself! It was so epic, majestic, mystical…and pretty damn Metal! It was my hope that one day someone would make a full Metal version of the films, but alas that day never came. Howard Shore’s music from the legendary Lord of the Rings movie trilogy captivated me ever since I first heard it way back in 2001. Here’s what the guitarist had to say about his reasons for taking on this ambitious project: Hall has already built a thriving YouTube channel where he does things like mash-ups of various songs and five-minute speed songwriting in the style of specific bands, but this new Lord of the Rings video kicks things up to a whole new level. ![]()
