#ft my interpretation of jekyll and hyde

[merriclo]

hey. fierce deity but it’s a jekyll and hyde situation. fierce’s personality takes on whatever traits that Time tries to bury and ignore. however violent or benevolent he acts depends entirely on what Time is suppressing.

What’s the overarching thing that inspired y’all to start this project?

Honestly we kind of just Fell into creating CC, it started out as a joke between us on a discord call that we drafted out once and then pretty much left to rot for a year until something sparked within us that caused us to get super interested in gothic literature and we brought it back from the dead, Reanimated it even. The biggest media inspiration for it is definitely Monster High, specifically the webisodes and Ghouls Rule movie; it was actually originally a straight up parody of *just* Monster High when we first created the concept but almost every character from that original batch has been scrapped and any surviving characters like Jekyll/Hyde and Chicago are completely unrecognizable compared to their original selves. Though I also personally take a lot of inspiration from musicals while writing. (If CC ever were to be animated i would DEFINITELY want musical numbers and i would rewrite the plot so it could HAPPEN)

Fun fact even: NEITHER of us had read any of the books with characters featured in the main cc cast when the concept originally formed, but there was so little to the original storyline we were able to easily transition them into being ENTIRELY parodies of their book selves.

Halestorm: Reimagined - Album Review

(image source)

This was a lot cos I had a wasp problem towards the end but MY WIG IS GONE SO LET’S GO.

I Get Off - From the couple of previews they put up I was SO excited for this one. And you know what, IT FUCKING LIVED UP TO WHAT I WANTED OMG. The chorus really stands out, cos it’s not overly heavy but it’s not as dragged down as other songs off this EP, and the way Lzzy switched the vocal tones, in the original singing higher and having the lower harmony in the background, but here the lower part is the main part and the original higher part is the background harmony. Also the way she extends the end of “I do for me” is just WOW. I feel like I’m mainly talking about the vocals but I also love the different way Joe uses the guitar in this one, the echo effect sort of replaces the main riff in the intro and it works really well 😂. So yeah, a very fucking solid start 😂.

I Miss The Misery - OMG THE INTRO OF THIS IS GENIUS since it’s their most famous song, they open sort of with the way the music video opens, the original song plays super quietly with some sound over it, idk what it’s meant to be but it adds to the effect. It does just sort of go straight into the reimagined version then, but I love that intro 😂. I guess it’s mostly an acoustic version of the song, but they do add some structural effects that give a different later to it than just “an acoustic version”. The drums also for some reason give me Into The Wild Life vibes, since that was a very vibey album the drums make it sound like this version of the song would slot seamlessly into that album 😂. Unfortunately it does end pretty abruptly, but I guess since they usually extend the outro for this song to like 10 fucking minutes why not 😂. It’s not my favourite, it’s good, but I think since this is my favourite song I have super high standards for it 😂.

I Am The Fire - This kind of has a similar reimagining concept to I Miss The Misery but it kind of pulls it off better? Somehow the way Joe uses the guitar it actually sounds kind of... flamey 😂. Am I making any sense idk it just seems to fit the idea of the song better 😂. Also it sounds like Arejay’s playing a fucking marching drum I have NO idea if that’s the case but it sounds like it, so it almost gives it a soldier vibe, again fitting with the song. Lzzy’s vocals as well here WOW she uses her voice so much softer here, but it slays my liiiiiife I love it 😂. It does get heavier at the bridge, there’s a switch to electric guitar but not for the rest of the song, it’s just used when it needs to be there 😂. Although I prefer OG I Miss The Misery to OG I Am The Fire, I think I prefer Reimagined I Am The Fire to Reimagined I Miss The Misery 😂.

Break In (ft. Amy Lee) - Already done a post on this so you can read that there but yes we love Amy this is so good haha.

I Will Always Love You - Mm not impressed again, it is NOTHING against Halestorm I just don’t like this song 😂. I do love the way Lzzy starts off acapella, but I think they do it live that way anyway 😂. Okay wow sorry this bit I’m typing now is a couple of hours when I left sorry things happened lmao anyway yeah idk what to say cos I just don’t like this song and while Lzzy slays she just can’t save it enough for me to want to listen to it 😂.

Mz. Hyde - I THINK THIS ONE’S MY FAVOURITE like... holy CRAP this one’s good. It definitely does strip some things back but it NEVER loses how dark and cool this song is. It’s almost got some electronic sounds in there but it WORKS 😂. I absolutely love how the backing vocals are used in here, it almost gives you the idea of an old monster film where the entire townsfolk are screaming over this scary monster that is Mz Hyde 😂. While in the original there was a contrast between the verses and chorus to create the Jekyll and Hyde effect, this almost goes directly for the story and it works just as well. Also the way the bass is used here is so effective, Josh really adds that dark underlayer that keeps the song dark where the heaviness of the electric guitar is missing. Oh, and the “it’s me Lzzy i swear”, always slays me, but that one was low key adorable 😂. Yeah, pretty sure this one’s my favourite from the EP 😂.

Overall thoughts, this whole EP mostly did give off an acoustic covers EP, mainly with I Miss The Misery and I Am The Fire, but there was so many different elements and layers added to songs it felt a lot more than that. I think as an EP it’s a great opportunity to listen to new interpretations of the songs you like, and also if you aren’t crazy on the original versions it’s something different for you. Absolutely glowing review from me lads, but what else did you expect from me, it’s Halestorm 😂.
