Been getting a lot of views on this lately and I just wanted to say thank you all for all the love! I posted this in 2016 but I've never gotten as many views in as short a time on any video I've done than this one. I want to get back to doing more covers like this. It's long been requested that I do a full-length cover of the Duke3D bonus/level stats theme on its own and I'd love to give that a shot and see how I can develop it. As I clear some other projects off my plate, I'll be coming back to doing game metal covers. Hope you stick around. :)

It goes ham from the first note and doesn't stop to catch its breath until final chord drops the end of the song on your head like an anvil.

I first discovered Duke Nukem when I was 11. My dad bought my mother and me a new pc and he showed me cd that had Duke Nukem 3d on it (as far as I remember that was original). I only played the first level of the game because it was late already and I had to go to bed. Then I forgot about the game. Now here I am 8 years later and I'm having a Duke Nukem brainrot for like 3 months now and realised how good this game was and how badass Duke is! Then I began to listen to the game's theme song and I found this masterpiece. I literally listen to it EVERY DAY! Good job man! Thank you for this!
