Ω About the story:
Everyone who plays God of War must know of this song. And here I am making it playable on the piano.

Specifically, this song plays when Kratos completely takes over the fight and the Gods are preparing to die. But instead I put Kratos in Blade of Olympus stance (which is L3 + R3 - the song's namesake - Rage of Sparta). It turns out there are a lot of ideas for me to edit on this video. How do you think about the editing and the coloring?

Ω About the arrangement:
What I am really proud of and really feel guilty about this arrangement is 0:57. I changed the chord. It appears that this song clearly doesn't have harmony, just super strong choir and powerful drum beat. But to put on the piano, it cannot just remain unchanged. I am certain that the song falls between Dm and Gm. Therefore I mix them up and constantly change the chord as shown in this video. 
In any chance that the composer of this song ever see this, I really want to say sorry for changing the very basic structure of a song. But I guess it is a cover where things are changed, at least I keep my standard that "Never change the melody" so I believe it is fine to do this. But personally I think it sounds kinda cool :3 ? It's been repeating so I put a little CHORD PROGRESSION - finally it's time I can use this phrase, so proud of myself lol, to build up the final act of the song.

With that being said, it surprisingly turns out that 1:10 works just perfectly by ascending from Dm then to Gm and eventually Dm. This final arrangement is completely different from what I originally sketched in my mind, and I am truly contented for this.

Instead of using arpeggio, this time I keep the song basic so that it conveys the strongest vibe as much as possible comparing to the original piece. Though the score is short and easy to memorize, you need a complete precision and good pedaling to masterfully play this.

Please like and subscribe to my channel, it really means a lot. If you feel nostalgic and content, please share with your friends, thank you !
