We’re keeping up with our Halloween tradition and doing another dark/spooky-themed remix: this time we’re finally revisiting the Paper Mario series and taking on Shadow Queen’s Final Phase theme!

A lot like our last Halloween special, Matricide, this song leans towards the rhythmic/atmospheric side. So it’s not quite chalk full of insane guitar solos, rather I just wanted it to sound dark and heavy and.. well, scary.

I tend to do this thing with heavy/slow songs where I try to emulate Black Label Society. I even borrowed that weird strings-off-the-bridge scrape thing that Zakk does sometimes. If you’re a fan of BLS, you may notice some of the similarities.

I still have plenty of Paper Mario tunes I want to get to eventually… I probably won’t make you wait as long this time. 🙂

PS: I don’t know who this guy in the video is, but I’m glad he recorded and uploaded the video for me. It saved me a lot of work…. still a bit worried that someone got into my house and used all my equipment without me noticing. Hmm…
