Cello cover of "Allure of the Earth"

[chrisdoig24k]

Sebastian Simpson and Chris Doig play "Allure of the Earth" on cello!

I'm a good friend of Seb, and he's one of the best young cellists in Australia. We used to do Apocalyptica covers with a couple of other guys a while ago, but when I heard about this tribute album, I decided that Allure of the Earth was going to be a perfect song for an all cello cover.

Seb plays all of the backing parts (which are REALLY hard!!) and I play the vocal melody. Even though he's a million times better than me on cello, I know the song a lot better than he does (I sing it EVERYWHERE!) so I did the vocal melody line.

Feedback is welcome.

dude! that was awesome! hearing that song done on cellos definitely gives it an earthy tone/feel to match the theme of the album, well done!!

 

[Miltbrand]

Beautiful! Got goose bumps a couple of times!

 

[David Gold]

Wow, eh? Brought brutal tears to my eyes! This is great!!! + You have mail!

That's just sick.......the cellos convey the feeling of the song brilliantly. You could drown in the sorrow of those strings..... Just really, really damned beautiful. I don't know what else to say

 

[Dauden]

Honestly man, perfect. Awesome tuning and everything, really well planned out clearly. As good as I could imagine it really.

I have to admit that I think Chris and Sebastien's version is BETTER than the original!!! I absolutely love what you guys did! + Your attention to detail is dead-on!

This MUST be heard!

Most humongous compliment ever. I'm humbled!

That was excellant - it's one of those pieces that I can completely imagine in some soundtrack as main theme. Great work.
