Mix and accents aside, that was god damn awesome.

I actually got goosebumps at how good it sounded with multiple vocalists, man that really made it sound better. When queen or empress or whatever came in, glorious.

I would actually love to hear the whole album with different singers as the characters. Doubt I will, but it'd be nice.

Nothing less than magnificent!

Thank you guys!!!!!! it's was a huge effort to make it possible! Glad you love it as much as we do!

Nice work that was impressive!

I am looking at getting into split screen covers myself (nothing serious - more or less for a bit of fun).

Can anyone recommend video editing software for doing this?

Really loved the pop style from Faythe's singer.

DragonAttack · « **Reply #6 on:** July 07, 2016, 09:19:03 PM »

Thumbs Up! Indeed, having different vocalists for the different characters really enhanced the listening experience.

But.....darn......I saw the time listed as 8:54, and thought it would end with more of the instrumental, and an 'end', not a fade.

Thanks for your efforts and the share

Holy crap!

The production values on stuff like this is off the charts these days. The musicianship, the art direction, the post-production, etc. Wow, man.

Progmetty · « **Reply #8 on:** July 07, 2016, 10:33:03 PM »

Excellent, if you do the whole album like this with different singers for all the characters including the narrator, I'll pay 20$ for the 320kbps mp3s.

That was great and as others stated, the multiple vocalists made it really good! Special mention to Empress Arabelle's singer, that part was glorious.

The drum sound could be better though but one of the best covers there!

RoeDent · « **Reply #10 on:** July 08, 2016, 12:40:04 AM »

Bit of a nitpick really, but doesn't Nafaryus sing "I will grant the chance..." at the end, not Faythe?

Still, good performance though.

Magnificent indeed!

Can't wait for 'Three Days'...

Wow, different singers for the different characters bring this song on a whole new level! Amazing cover

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #13 on:** July 08, 2016, 06:07:12 AM »

Great cover. Some of the harmony choices didn't quite work for me, but all of the vocalists were great, and I liked the changes in melodies (and octave). Musically I couldn't pick any faults either. An enjoyable watch.

Mladen · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2016, 07:28:20 AM »

Great job, I always appreciate the effort when I see such a complex, demanding cover.

rumborak · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2016, 08:45:02 AM »

That was .... absolutely fantastic. The multiple vocalists works out as well as I always imagined.

AngelBack · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2016, 09:01:27 AM »

AMAZING job guys and thanks for posting. And Faythe......oh my......

This only made me carve for a multiple-vocalist version of The Astonishing.

The female vocals sound wonderful. Congrats!

dtvoices94 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2016, 12:12:07 PM »

Bravo...Well Done!!
I'd love to see the whole album done like this.

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

I love the emotion in the face of all three vocalists. It really bring the song to life.

Amazing. I got goosebumps.

Sycsa · « **Reply #22 on:** July 08, 2016, 03:13:19 PM »

Wow, I love it, it's one of the best videos I've come across in a while. Listened to it multiple times today. Not gonna say it's "astonishing," since that became such a cliché, so let's just go with amazing.

Mix and accents aside, that was god damn awesome.

I like the accents, given the story and the futuristic setting, I even find it fitting that the characters have "exotic" accents.

Bertielee · « **Reply #23 on:** July 08, 2016, 03:21:11 PM »

Nothing short of amazing, guys! Really impressive!

I mean, some are fine. The girls were fine accent wise. The guy threw me off is all. Plus, technically all the characters are American.

TAC · « **Reply #25 on:** July 08, 2016, 03:22:43 PM »

The guy vocalist was excellent. He even looks like Nefaryus!

krands85 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 08, 2016, 05:07:15 PM »

That was awesome, thanks for sharing! I totally wasn't expecting there to be multiple vocalists (glad I didn't read the thread before viewing!), so it was a big surprise and it worked really well

Nice work with the video too. Looking forward to seeing more

This!

That!

You guys did a great job! I LOVE the job James did on the album, and wouldn't trade it for anything... But I would kill a spider for a version with different vocalists for the different characters. I would also pay $ for one, if preferred.

And the Faythe singer dancing after the credits.....

I had to go back and watch it after seeing your post because I had clicked it off when the credits started to roll the first time.

First of all THANK YOU so much for all your feedback about this cover! we're really happy and we read everything to do it better.

i'm the "Lord Nafaryus" singer so, i would apreciate all the feedback possible just to emprove my accent and let you enjoy the songs without something weird hahaha, i'm from Venezuela, so, i'll try my best.

The next one is "Three Days", so i will need your help!

wich songs would you like to hear? let us know!

again, THANK YOU this was made for all of you.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #30 on:** July 09, 2016, 11:24:52 AM »

That was brilliant! I love what you guys did with the vocal melodies/harmonies, and definitely more emotive with the vocal parts.

I'm going to go with.............all of them. Honestly, you could skip the instrumentals since I assume they'll be note for note replications, but any song with vocals? Yes please.
