Liner Notes
Today's #MovieQuote harks back to Christopher Plummer putting a fresh spin on Shakespeare's #Hamlet in Nicholas Meyer's very silly but great fun Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991).
I needed a very #metal feel for this so there's lots of my Ibanez RG9-BK nine string and RG770 guitars on this one. And yes, I'm singing in #Klingon now.

Sounds awesome! Love the combination of the intense metal backing guitar + drum with the more somber/peaceful-sounding music laid over it.
Shaka, when the walls fell! Damn my butterfly AuDHD brain in Klingon! I feel like a Trek (and sci fi and musical) lightweight or exile listening to this (and your stuff generally, and reading the comments) though that is not your fault or attitude to be fair. Let's say it's generated sci-fi-specific saudade & FOMO in me anyway. Good heavy stuff, I like how it sounds. Technically beyond me and brilliant.
Watching Starfleet Academy I feel I am missing out on some decent Klingon action (bar the last episode). When I saw the title pop up in my feed, I was hoping it was Klingon. As you rightly say this needed to be heavy, and is gloriously is. \m/
Oh heck yeah this is cool! Really love when those atmospheric verby guitars come in, never thought about it before but klingons would probably LOVE metal haha. Awesome stuff 💚
So this is what Klingon opera actually sounds like!?
I failed Klingon my voice is to soft! thx for the translation. Love the ak ak guitar guns. So much here to listen to as well.
Ah, the 9-string... Really of enough of that sort of thing around these parts, so rather lovely hear it paired with the language it is honestly most suited to. This piece works on every level I can think of.
Klingons would be metal heads, obviously. Another impressive track, sir. I can tell you are having fun. I'm intrigued by what fx settings you employed here: 'phasers on stun' I presume...
The level of detail and production is superimpressive as always. I enjoy the creamy chugginess of the guitars and the manic kickdrum. Interesting how one of the processed sounds is almost voicelike and merges into the vocoded(?) vocal. The guitar harmonics add a really nice contrast to the metal flavors.
I'm gonna need a translation on this one. Music is killing it though. Metal but melodic. I wish it was longer with more Klingon words I can't understand!
It's "To be, or not to be"...
This is the first time I have ever heard a song done in Klingon and I am very much here for it! The language itself very much lends itself to that particular metal style of vocals.
A perfect metal lyric from one of my favorite movies! The spacey clean guitar is perfect against the riffy groove. A head-nodder for sure!
Nicely wonky but groovy riffing here! Also those clean guitars and organ on top of it all bring a really nice contrast to the mix. Especially loving the tone of the guitar introduced at 0:47, and the bassline backing it is so very hooky. And those grunted vocals! 🤘
I think Klingons were indeed made for metal. Good chanelling of Mr Plummer for the Klingon. My only complaint is that I wanted more. Good film, good track. A Star track you might even say!
