A few months ago, YouTube guitar shredder Steve Terreberry typed complete and utter nonsense into an AI music generator just to see what would happen. The result? A surprisingly epic power-metal track titled “Isugaku Never Say Goodbye.” The clip from that experiment went wildly viral, inspiring countless AI covers and remixes across the internet.

Now Terreberry has taken things to the next level by recording a full real-world version of the song, this time with actual instruments and powerhouse vocals from ZP Theart, the former frontman and co-founder of DragonForce. The result is exactly as ridiculous and awesome as you’d hope: blazing guitars, soaring vocals, and lyrics that are still mostly delightful gibberish.

What began as random keyboard smashing has somehow evolved into a legit power metal anthem… about absolutely nothing!
