Knight Jumps Queen (Annihilator cover)

Uploaded by Bit_Rat on January 22nd 2010, 09:49 PM

EDIT: Here is the original song by Annihilator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeXaIW9-RUI#movie_player --- An old favorite of mine. ;) Transcribed partly from the riffs I know already, partly from tabs on annihilatormetal.com, and partly by ear. ...The solo was all by ear and was probably the hardest part. Worth it, though! For those who haven't heard the original, the extra noise channel is the verse vocals, which don't conform to any particular melody.

  • Arkholt : This is awesome. I'd never heard the original either, so I took a listen. It's an awesome song. A heavy metal tune about a chess game? Yeah. I mean, not just a reference to the game or a move or something, but an entire game plays out in that song. Your cover definitely does it justice, too. Great job.
