"Overlord" - Original Instrumental Heavy Metal, by Yours Truly
Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 1/24/16 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

Posted on 01/24/2016 10:47:46 AM PST by Slings and Arrows

I wanted to fill this video with pictures of people in armor beating the crap out of other people in armor, but I couldn't find any public domain images so I used cats instead.

I write and record all my music under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. Lars Ulrich is p*ssed that he didn't copyright it first.

For a free MP3 download of "Overlord" click here.

Named after Operation Overlord?

I’d suggest contacting SCA groups on Facebook who likely will bury you in pictures in about five minutes.

No, although I wish I had thought of that angle. The song is a sort of musical allegory about what happens when an allegedly benevolent ruler decides to stop being benevolent.

Is that midi guitar? Why speed it up? I like the structure of the song. Just dont like the fake drums

It is midi guitar - I can play guitar, but getting one to talk to GarageBand running on an old iPhone is more trouble than it’s worth.

The middle speeds up because the three sections are supposed to have different moods - it’s Art, dammit!

The drums are what come with GarageBand - I like them myself, but tastes differ.

GarageBand is a good tool. Best $5 I ever spent.
