VEIL OF MAYA - Mikasa (Cover by Lauren Babic & Gerard Vachon) 

Dear Veil of Maya; if you ever need a replacement singer, Gerard's obviously your man. Or if you're up for a female singer, Lauren's obviously absolutely fantastic.

Gerard just nailed it.

1. One hell of a cover 2. Sick trapz

2:32 - 2:36 love Lauren's voice tone there. That kind of rasp technique she uses reminds me of the first singer of Three days grace.

came here for Lauren, but damn Gerard. those sligtly higher piched screams, awesome preformance man.

I get chills 2:14 everytime l watch this video. Her 3 screams sound so sick.

Hearing the run where she screams in three different pitches gives me goosebumps everytime

0:45 epic part!

Cannot count the amount of times i've replayed the 2:10-2:20 part of the song, this is so sick :D

This still gives me chills when she screams. What a vocalist.

GAH WHY IS LAUREN BABIC SO COOOL

god damn the chills are real

Enjoy! And sub to Gerard! ---> ru-vid.com

Unbelievable. Also Lauren I love that you did the low growl, I was expecting Gerard to do it but crap you have such a sick low range its unexpected

2:10-2:20 will always be one of my favorite screams ever. Damn that's impressive.

Quarantine 2020 and still jamming to this 💙

MAMA

This cover was pure gold.

i like this more than original. she kills it. well both really.

Whoever mixed this did a hell of a job

2:14 😦 what sorcery is this? Wow

I didn't know Gerard until this video, and damn he's a great talented artist ! Sick cover guys

Gerard has that power metal singing voice lmao

My near 4yr old daughter LOVES your covers. I show her the originals - followed by your covers, and she always chooses yours lol... This cover in specific is her favorite. She says "I wanna listen to the boy & girl that go errrrah"

Holy shit, this is amazing. That scream at 2:14 was INSANE! I'm glad you finally covered this one, and Gerard's vocals were spot on. I love the powermetal-ish sound at the end of the chorus. Definitely a killer note.

This cover blows me away. You guys both annihilated this. Lauren have you thought of doing any Deftones covers? I think it could suit your voice.

i've easily watched this 100 times.

Shivers. Every. God. Damn. Time.

I wanna hear Lauren cover a Jinjer song.

these two should be in a band

The vocal editing is real with this one.

Talent, just pure talent

The chills at the bridge..

Still can't stop listening to this

These two are one of the best duets I’ve ever heard.

I'll never get sick of this cover!

WHY DID I JUST FOUND THIS NOW OMG I DEFINITELY LOVE IT

Dude! I thought she was only gonna do the cleans. Then she melted my face! Followed by my jaw dropping from Gerard's falsetto! Breathtaking guys 🤘

Absolutely fantastic .

That's Clean vocal of Gerard. So best!

Holy fuck Gerard's pipes!

Gerard's mouth movement is quite enjoyable to look at. weird.

I can hardly believe such a perfect cover exists.

Does anyone else watch this video on a weekly basis? I have been doing it for over a year and have a huge smile every time. This is the best cover I have EVER HEARD. Lauren and Gerard are phenomenal vocalists!

Confession: I listen to this version more than the original. You both have insane vocal range and intensity, and Lauren just devastates that chorus 🔥🔥🔥

Both incredible vocalists. God damn

every scream gives me passion, thanks

I simply don't understand how this isn't at a million views. I sincerely vacillate between the original and this version being the best version.

Awesome like always, i'm in love with your voice and screams, Lauren ! *^* Love from France ! ♡

Paint him green and you have the Hulk. Sick cover!

Gerard is a really good screamer and Lauren wow!! I'm amazed honestly. First time seeing them.

Just discovered this cover and I can’t get enough of it already. Those low growls and high screams are beautifully well put together

2:13 she nailed it🙌🏻

WE SURVIVE THE WRETCHED OF TIMES !!! You two fucking kill this song , thank you for sharing this . Hearing this revives a long neglected love for metal .

Good lord, I can't get over how you guys harmonize that well.

So can we all take a second to appreciate how beautiful they both are?

I listen to this about 6 times a day. Killer cover.

Holy shit I think I just fell in love with her.

chills on that first hook

Quarantine 2021 still jamming to this.

Dude, is there a band around that's like this? As in, two singers, one male, one female, both can sing/scream good and the band is good? Someone form that band and make music, take my money.

I love Lauren's cleans in this one.

scream battle and lauren smashes it go girl hehe both AWESOME

simply amazing

0:29 to 0:39 - Why did he even collab? He could've easily done this himself. 0:46 to 0:55 - Oh Nevermind.

Don't mind me. Just here for my daily dose.

Still one of my favorites

Besides the veins in his neck, Gerard makes those screams look so effortless. Both of you guys are 🔥.

I actually prefer this version to the original 2:10 - 2:20 is fucking magical

I don't even know what to say. Love it.

it's been months and I can't get over how amazing this cover is.

This is one of the best covers of anything. ever.

Ridiculously amazing cover. My favourite song from VoM and both of you just blew me away. Was great to see Lauren get nasty with those growls. Gerard, you've got some killer cords too. Plus your traps are awesome. Great work all around!

Did anyone else get shivers down your spine at 2:08-2:26? I sure did lol

That was an incredible cover! I could watch this over and over again. Amazing job !

2021 and still listen to this probably once per week :)

i can't help it but when i listen to the original i just see the two of you with your epic cover of this great song ^^ i would kill for gerards vocal range O.O

Finally !

Both of them are absolutely amazing singers and together sound unstoppable!

U know.. no matter how much I listen to this.. it will never be as good as hearing it in person.. and I can’t express how much I would love listening in person

Linda Lauren Babic!!!

This was fucking amazing. You both have incredible talent. Gerard, you're voice has improved so much. Keep kicking ass.

Thanks. Now I have to listen to Mikasa twice every day to get it out my head

Just love this so much! Bloody brilliant!

WOW, that clean section! Even more beautiful than the original.

such a fuckin nice harmony in these voices. love it.

That scream from her at 2:19 gives me chills it’s awesome

I constantly come back to this one🤘🏻

dang that was killer

I've been listening to your cover for 3 days all day long in a row now. And I don't think I will stop in the next few days, or weeks lol. Your cover is just so fucking great I even like it more than the original song!!

I keep coming back to listen to this

I can't get enough of this song, especially this cover.

Before me there stands an opportunity There for the taking In this moment - this exact moment I shall prepare myself To face a monster of which only I may conquer Conjure the power bestowed upon our souls Conjure the power Align the stones to form a message in the sand I will never relinquish It is written in the sand Which lies below me Staring back at a helpless man I've done all I can It lies in the hands of those who seek a voice soaring above the rest Built from the ground Forming scratches upon the surface We survive in wretched of times We survive in wretched of times Conjure the power We survive in wretched of times Conjure the power We survive And we thrive in the most wretched of times Align the stones to form a message in the sand I will never relinquish It is written in the sand Align the stones to form a message in the sand I will never relinquish It is written in the sand I've done all I can I've done all I can Align the stones to form a message in the sand I will never relinquish It is written in the sand Align the stones to form a message in the sand I will never relinquish It is written in the sand Align the stones to form a message in the sand I will never relinquish It is written in the sand I've done all I can

2:13 my dog when I step on his tail

spot on, excellent work! clearly this is the first of many of your videos that I need to watch :)

love these 2 together on this song

WOW! Incredible!

Holy shit! It's been so long since I've seen Gerard. This cover was absolutely amazing by the way. Your voices go together so great!

When the cover is actually better than the original. Great job guys.
