Hey Everyone! I was very excited to record this cover in anticipation of their concert that happened earlier this year. I'm finally getting around to putting together some Flute Tabs for this song (Finally!! I know lol) Personally, this find that this album is one of their heaviest and one of my absolute favorites. Unchain Utopia was the second song I worked on when I began making covers. Initially, I only planned on covering the non-choir parts but found that to be a bit uninteresting. With my love for piccolo (I prefer it over flute), I found that it blended very well with the choir but was still able to be heard much better than playing the same pitch on the flute. I will always try to incorporate piccolo into symphonic metal flute covers! I really appreciate its variety of applications and styles from marches, to classical, to medieval metal and now to symphonic metal. Matching and blending the piccolo in with the flute parts for this cover requires using similar technique
