Hymns of Light and Shadows – Temple of Time

It has been a few months since the release of CsGuitar89’s full length Zelda tribute album, Hymns of Light And Shadows and as promised, he has been releasing a new video once a week featuring songs from the album. His intentions with this album was to have a full length album that lasted atleast an hour. He successfully met his goal when he finally released it with a full track list of 18 songs ranging from many different Zelda games and even gave the fans a chance to come up with their own title and cover for the album.

Last week’s video was a peaceful cover of the Astral Observatory from Majora’s Mask and next week’s will be Ilia’s Theme from Twilight Princess. This week however, the featured video is a creative take on the Temple of Time Theme. Check out the video after the jump to listen to it for yourself.

The album Hymns of Light and Shadows is Casper’s first full length album. He has put together over an hour of music and 18 different songs from the series. Each capturing the emotional value of the original from the games while providing his own creative touch to the songs. Fans of the Zelda series should be happy to know that the album ranges from a few different genres from slow paced relaxing music “Astral Observatory” to loud heavy metal songs “Goron City” and everything in between.

Fans of his songs will be pleased to know this album is free to download on his official site. If you’re for some odd reason tired of hearing Zelda related music than you can check out many of the other Nintendo and non Nintendo related covers on his Youtube Channel.

This original take on the the Temple of Time just sounds amazing to me. Like the other songs on the album, I think it stays true to the original and that’s what most fans look for in fan covers of any video game song. They look for something that has the artist’s originality to it while keeping the same essence that made the fans fall in love with it in the first place. Let us know your thoughts on not only this song, but the album as a whole in the comments below.
