We've been trying to record this album since late 2015, but various other projects and real-life obligations prevented it from happening until now. However, since that time we've gotten the opportunity to play at several large conventions, and have done a bunch of smaller shows as \"Viking Guitar Lite\" (with just Erik and Grant) and this album is a great culmination of the last few years.\nThere are two new songs for you on here that have never been recorded previously, and one (7th Saga) that we've never played live.\nThanks to everyone that continues to listen to this music and to come see us perform. It's a wonderful experience for us, every time, and we couldn't do it without you!\nKEEP THE WORLD METAL!\"\n-------------------------------------------\nFUN FACTS FOR AUDIO NERDS:\n- No drum triggering/sampling was used in these songs. What you're hearing is 100% acoustic drums.\n- Guitar tones were all via amp sims (Scuffham and BIAS for Grant, TSE for Erik, and LePou Plugins for Ryan.)\n- This album was recorded, mixed and mastered entirely using REAPER DAW.\n- The guitar lines are arranged to reflect how we play these songs live. In general, you're usually hearing either three guitars playing rhythm or two playing rhythm with one lead. The only times you're hearing one of us double-tracking are when it's needed to maintain a doubled rhythm guitar line. (You can get the isolated tracks as a bonus download when you buy the full album!)\n- The five members of VGL live in different parts of the country. All recording was done remotely to scratch tracks, and then mixed and mastered in Santa Cruz, CA.\n- The oldest song on this album (\"Surfside Graveyard\") was originally recorded in December 2009. The most recent (\"Vash the Stampede\") was introduced in our live set in August 2017.\n-------------------------------------------\nErik \"Viking Guitar\" Peabody - Guitar\nRyan \"Mega Beardo\" Postlethwait - Guitar\nGrant \"Stemage\" Henry - Guitar\nDan \"Chunkstyle\" Taylor - Bass\nAdam Henry - Drums\nMixed and mastered by Erik Peabody\nRecorded by the members of Viking Guitar Live\nAll arrangements were created by Viking Guitar Live\nOriginal music is from their respective games\nCover art and design by Nate Horsfall\nComposed by:\nKoji Kondo (1)\nRyuichi Nitta, Keiji Yamagishi, Mayuko Okamura (2)\nHiroki Kikuta (3)\nAyako Mori (4)\nYuki Iwai (5)\nTsuneo Imahori (6)\nNorihiko Yamanuki (7)", "organizations": [ { "names": { "en": "Viking Guitar", "ja": "Viking Guitar", "ja-latn": "Viking Guitar" }, "role": "publisher" }, { "link": "org/965", "names": { "en": "Bandcamp", "ja": "Bandcamp", "ja-latn": "Bandcamp" }, "role": "retailer" } ], "performers": [ { "link": "artist/16708", "names": { "en": "Viking Guitar Live" } }, { "link": "artist/49325", "names": { "en": "Viking Guitar" } }, { "link": "artist/59399", "names": { "en": "Mega Beardo" } }, { "link": "artist/36225", "names": { "en": "Stemage" } }, { "link": "artist/59217", "names": { "en": "Chunkstyle" } }, { "link": "artist/16709", "names": { "en": "Adam Henry" } } ], "picture_full": "https://media.vgm.io/albums/19/73891/73891-1514712555.jpg", "picture_small": "https://medium-media.vgm.io/albums/19/73891/73891-1514712555.jpg", "picture_thumb": "https://thumb-media.vgm.io/albums/19/73891/73891-1514712555.jpg", "platforms": [ "NES (Famicom)", "Series", "SNES (Super Famicom)" ], "products": [ { "link": "product/500", "names": { "en": "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", "ja": "ゼルダの伝説 神々のトライフォース", "ja-latn": "Zelda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Triforce" } }, { "link": "product/5038", "names": { "en": "Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos", "ja": "忍者龍剣伝II 暗黒の邪神剣", "ja-latn": "Ninja Ryuukenden II: Ankoku no Jashin Ken" } }, { "link": "product/196", "names": { "en": "Secret of Mana", "ja": "聖剣伝説2", "ja-latn": "Seiken Densetsu 2" } }, { "names": { "en": "Ghosts 'n Goblins (Makaimura)" } }, { "link": "product/2082", "names": { "en": "Mega Man X2", "ja": "ロックマンX2", "ja-latn": "Rockman X2" } }, { "link": "product/1426", "names": { "en": "Trigun", "ja": "Trigun", "ja-latn": "Trigun" } }, { "link": "product/6032", "names": { "en": "The 7th Saga", "ja": "エルナード", "ja-latn": "Elnard" } } ], "publish_format": "Doujin/Indie", "publisher": { "names": { "en": "Viking Guitar", "ja": "Viking Guitar", "ja-latn": "Viking Guitar" }, "role": "publisher" }, "related": [], "release_date": "2018-01-01", "release_events": [], "release_price": { "currency": "USD", "price": 6.0 }, "reprints": [], "stores": [ { "link": "http://vikingguitar.bandcamp.com/album/warpath?utm_source=materia", "name": "Bandcamp" } ], "vgmdb_link": "https://vgmdb.net/album/73891?perpage=99999", "votes": 0 }
