Got a wacky one for you today! This was yet another Dwelling of Duels arrangement (4 months in row for the first time! Gonna try and keep the streak up), and this one somehow managed to get 2nd place out of 40 amazing entries by very talented musicians! Little shoutout to the DoD community who are super wholesome, helpful, and all around a great group to be a part of.
First and foremost, what is the deal with this one?! Well, this cover is intended to be a direct homage, and, to be frank, kind of a love letter to one of my favourite songs ever, Cockroach King by Haken. Some of you probably know it, but in case you don't, it's this wild 8-minute song that has everything from heavy dissonant riffs, acapella sections, weird sounds, super well phrased solos, and much more. While this is still very much an arrangement of Slam Shuffle, and there aren't really any direct musical quotes from Cockroach King aside from some dissonant chords and drum fills, I tried my best to emulate the vibe and structure of that song. It's only half as long obviously, as there is only so much musical content to work with from Slam Shuffle, but I think it's as long as it needs to be, and I did everything I wanted to with it.
I want to give another VERY VERY special thanks to Brandon Strader, BadHairlineProductions, and Sumask for lending their soloing talents to this song, it wouldn't sound the same without them! Check out their channels here:

(speaking of Sumask, he also made his own arrangement of Slam Shuffle that's quite different from mine, and I even played a solo on it! • Slam Shuffle - Final F... )
