But seriously, check the bass player of this band (Dominic ‘Forest’), Death/Sadus/Testament (Steve DiGiorgio), Seventh Wonder (Andreas Blomqvist), Obscura (Linus Klausenitzer), and Billy Sheehan - there are indeed a lot of great and innovative bass players out there. They just don’t play in the biggest bands like Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Pantera etc. Except for Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) and John Myung (Dream Theater) of course :D
@@bcbitchkkv Yeah, _that_ is some impressive list of bass players! The question is, _will_ they, if those listed do *not* win some friggin' Patreon Alliance Points popularity voting??? There is such a random selection method as "pulling straws" that would be a _sensible_ way to get more _diverse_ songs for them to react to, but... I just don't see using said method happening on this channel...
Death metal in the last 10 years has progressed into something more sophisticated than i can possibly imagine. When i want to hear real talent, nothing compares.
Watched this band perform their newest album Algorhythm in full, plus a few other songs a few months ago and they didn't mess up once that I noticed. It was fucking amazing. Tech death and prog metal are my favorite genres. One of the best tech death bands is Necrophagist (Fermented Offal Discharge solo is amazing). Both Necrophagist and Beyond Creation have vocalists that play guitar, which is one of the craziest things ever to me. Imagine playing these complicated riffs while also doing vocals at the same time!
That fretless bass though!! Fuck yeah!! Alliance picks are the best! Love this band. I think i already have the video in my favorites playlist! Sick! Would you guys please do Portal - Glumurphonel (live 2008). The live video is the point of this reaction. By the way, Sori, there are professional vocal coaches, if you're ever interested in learning, because I heard your badass growl, spontaneously in one of the videos and it sounded like you can easily do those vocals, with the professional training. They give you exercises and all, so you don't hurt yourself or do it wrong.
These guys are amazing. Musical geniuses and all super nice down to earth guys. And probably the only band where both guitarists and bass player are playing the exact same notes AND everyone gets a solo
You'd be surprised Sori. It takes technique and practice but I think anybody can ultimately do the vocal style. Check out some videos that explain the how and I'm sure you'll get it eventually! This band is great. Seen them live a couple of times and they nail it. Unbelievable how the frontman can play that stuff and sing at the same time.
tech death is awesome, i love how they tend to use fretless bass (like on this song). This song was alright although it would have been nice to have more non-solo content if you want more tech death that (imo) is much better than this song, i't highly recommend clandestine stars by obscura or Human Murmuration by archspire, both are incredibly well done!
RIP Reed Mullin the drummer and founder of Corrosion Of Conformity. I know that you already reacted to a couple of their songs, but would be nice to do a tribute reaction.
Very Technical. Hej Vin! In may of 2018 you both listened to the folk metal band Eluveite and the song Rebirth. You really liked them and your exact words where "This is one of those bands I want to here more from". Now it's January 2020. So, how about giving the song "A rose for Epona" a shot? (The official video who got lyrics. Not the song just called "Epona") .
Today's Tech Death installment brought to you by L'Oreal. Edit - now you've experienced Tech Death - are you going to do the Cryptopsy review you owe me :P. Other recommended listening: Necrophagist, Sleep Terror (although hard to do a Lyric review for them), Rings of Saturn etc. Edit Edit: 9:30 - that would be Sweep Arpeggios
Bass solos are always amazing, you may remember some similar stuff from Ne Obliviscaris. In this case though it's not just bass but fretless bass. This is one of my favourite bands and I've been lucky enough to see them live and let me tell you they sound just as on point as a recorded version. They're all insanely talented musicians who I recommend going to see if you get the chance.
Outside necrophagist...there is no technical metal that can compare! I would compare necro and beyond technician wise as the same level! On a religious topic...this song is about how religion separates the individual from consequences whether the consequences were bad or good. This is god's work or this is the devil's work! Locked in the abyss of the mind crushing the gates of their mind to me, represents dogma creating conflict in a individual! People have conflicts within themselves because of strict religious doctrine! I feel good religious people catch flak for people who abuse it! I am a Zen Buddhist and instead of praying for forgiveness, I practice mindfulness and control of my emotions and impulsivity! I have regrets, guilt and anxiety but for me these experiences lead me to a path of understanding myself! I wasn't absolved of them, I was forced to confront them and learn from them! I have no stake in the afterlife, just my present now! I believe we are all good and equally evil! Our beliefs coincide because of free will, one belief needs relief from our human nature and the other needs the weight of our human nature to better themselves! "When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man" - Diogenes
I’m not always in the mood for tech death but when I am, these guys do the trick. The biggest thing that takes me out of this genre is that the production doesn’t always work for me. Generally the drum production is hit or miss.
I have quality ps4 headphones. And still couldn't understand what he was growling. Musically, I found them MEH! The music stirs depression. For whom the bell tolls knocks this into orbit!
I find it interesting how Vin's opinion on science is evolving. A year ago he'd say "it's just people, why do you trust them?" now he quotes Paul :) Lets hope you are all fine and well during this pandemic.
Morning! I'm a big fan, short time watcher first time typer. Next time you get on yer International kick try Heartless Scat by Ningen Isu. They're from Japan and they rock hard.
hi! i love your channel, and i've been watching you for a good while now. is there a chance that you can react to 'motörhead god was never on your side' that song i simply amazing and what you have to say about it would be just as amazing to hear! Love from Sweden
You probably don't remember it but there was a similar solo in the opening minute of the Seventh Wonder song Break the Silence and then another harmonic bass tapping section later on in that song. This is a pretty crazy bass section in this song though. Other songs (that you have reacted to) that had crazy bass work were Devour Me, Colossus by Ne Oblivscaris and Heading for Tomorrow by Gamma Ray . The bass in this one stands out sonically because its fretless. Bands like this, Obscura and Quo Vadis are tech death so there is a strong focus on the musicality. Thats not to say the lyrics are crap, cause Quo Vadis in particular has amazing lyrics. But one of the hallmarks of the style is a strong focus on the technical aspects of the music. The last few minutes of this reaction were pretty funny considering your pretty uninformed take on the Left Hand Path from last reaction. You might wanna get with the big homie Blake so he can explain how wrong alot of your assumptions and thoughts were.
Well that’s why I asked for someone to jump on so we could have a discussion lol. Furthermore there is only one logical outcome to saying “I’m my own god” Y’all are hilarious.
@@VinAndSori I mean if you are going to speak about something as if you are informed you should be. I'm glad we can amuse you, but the onus is on you to seek out this information if you want to be informed. Inviting people to jump on does nothing. What if Blake didn't see this video, he's a busy guy and has his own channel? You know damn well that he's one of the villagers most likely to give you a good breakdown on satanism. Its really easy for you to reach out to him. Even Zonia would be able to speak about this stuff. And I know you communicate with her all the time. That invitation of yours was just ass covering. If you really wanna learn, people in the village will be more than happy to teach, that I can promise you.
Meh. I'm no authority on the subject of the LHP. I have a basic lay understanding of it, which is still probably a bit more understanding than what @@VinAndSori have demonstrated, but I would not presume to be able to speak coherently and make cogent arguments on/for the LHP. Blake is the one to talk to, not me. I do feel that it is important to at least be modest and open about one's ignorance on a subject as opposed to speaking of it authoritatively without any detailed understanding of the subject. Humility is key, here. If you demonstrate openly that you don't know much about it, but that you see a reason to talk about it, and not be presumptive or make declarations about it in ignorance, people are more likely to listen and to learn from what your perspective and position is. That all being said, I suggest a collab video with Blake. Let his and your communities pick a LHP related song for you both to react to simultaneously and see what comes of the ensuing discussion. You'll probably learn a lot.
@@khellendross3573 what a silly thing to say. I have never felt the need to cover my ass about anything hahah especially on a video. again you're missing the point. three issues were addressed in the song. 1. the content of the song itself the man said he's his own god. that has implications. 2. atheism. 3. the concept of the left hand path which is where I asked to talk to someone about it. lol but by all means continue to ignore the first two. continue to ignore that the dude called himself his own God and continue to pretend that has no implications. and you do amuse me. doesn't mean I don't like you though
Oh, shit! Nice, nice, nice. Y'all really gotta check out some Obscura now. Edit: Even as someone who listens to the genre, I don't really know a whole lot of legitimate bass solos like this. Plenty of creative bass lines, but not a whole lot of actual solos. On a somewhat similar topic, Sean Reinert from Cynic (and Death) passed away in the last few days. A day before Kobe, I believe. So, y'all should do a Cynic song, as well as a song from Death's Human album (which he played drums on). Cynic was a huge part of the whole technical, progressive & jazz elements being added into Death Metal in the 90s.
Really good tech death band. I second "Fermented Offal Discharge" by Necrophagist. Really a glorious song. It's like 5 mins long and nearly half of that is the solo. And Muhammed is such a fucking guitar god.
Metallica put out an amazing bass solo by Cliff Burton way back in the day. Not sure how you could reference For Whom The Bell Tolls and not the actual solo song. It's called Anesthesia/Pulling Teeth. It's beyond amazing.
Hello from Russia! Please make a reaction to the track Napalm Death - Omnipresent Knife In Your Back, this is a very unusual song for them and few people even know about it.
Do Earthborn Evolution by Beyond Creation it's more melodical great song And Be'lakor - Fraught live at Summer Breeze festival .. it's melodic death metal from Australia
About fucking time. Speaking of time and speaking of a dollar a month... I have neither. I pay all my child support and all I can do is make endless comments on your videos that never get replied to. Be well, kiddos.
Видеоклипы
Necrophagist - Fermented Offal Discharge
Yes please!
Its so fucking good
OMG this day has finally come true.
I freaking love Beyond Creation
There's a lot of songs you MUST listen
Quebec CAN represent! Lol
Like Obscura
Thank you for showing some love to Dominic LaPointe, who's an absolute master of the bass!
6:40 the moment Vin realizes there are other bass players in existence beyond Cliff Burton
True story lol

GenMVeers Me neither, but since they wrote a reply, I knew they read the message, so it was worth a shot.
@@bcbitchkkv you forgot the bass players from dying fetus and archspire
Finally! Yes!
Next: Obscura - " Vortex Omnivium"
Finally a good one.
Epica - Kingdom of heaven
Death metal in the last 10 years has progressed into something more sophisticated than i can possibly imagine. When i want to hear real talent, nothing compares.
Archspire- Fathom Infinite Depth or Involuntary Doppelgänger please? 😁
\m/
Involuntary Doppelgänger it is! That is a killer track!
Portal - Curtain (music video)

By the way, Sori, there are professional vocal coaches, if you're ever interested in learning, because I heard your badass growl, spontaneously in one of the videos and it sounded like you can easily do those vocals, with the professional training.

Septic Flesh - Virtues of the Beast
Please
Awesome song!!! This bass player is sick!!! Saw them live.
Dismember Override Of The Overture
One of my favorite bands !! Cheers 🍻
that was fun! it's become part of my day listening to music with Vin and Sori, best part of my day
Moonspell - Night Eternal
Moonspell - Full Moon Madness
Loving the consistancy keep it going
One of the most boring bands I've ever seen live
@@b.entranceperium never seen them live, but seeing the Alma Mater live video they seemed really interactive
@@b.entranceperium It's your opinion, that's ok...
Yes! I need more of you guys!💞💞 Lol, but I listen to everything, so I couldn't possibly join an alliance.
Watch a guitar play through of an Archspire song. Like Involuntary Doppelgänger or Human Murmuration
Or that relentless mutation bass playthrough.
Yes!!! Prog metal from Quebec Canada!
Now you're starting to get into the good genre of music ❤
tech death is awesome, i love how they tend to use fretless bass (like on this song). This song was alright although it would have been nice to have more non-solo content

Sick bass! Infectious Grooves (members of suicidal tendencies) violence & funky, for example.
Obscura!!!!!!!
That bass solo!
Dominic is straight up awesome. I bought a Bass because of Ryan from Mudvayne and bought a 6 string Fretless after hearing Dominic.
Awesome band. Another awesome band with some amazing Bass work is Spiral Architect.
Beyond Creation-Afterlife please!!!
I’m not always in the mood for tech death but when I am, these guys do the trick. The biggest thing that takes me out of this genre is that the production doesn’t always work for me. Generally the drum production is hit or miss.
ULCERATE-WITHERED AND OBSOLETE
I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that their next album will be a masterpiece. If it ever comes out, that is
Top of the food chain tech death right there. A literal All-Star team of talent.
Please react to Beyond creation - Earthborn Evolution, there is another great bass solo.
The thing that is great is simons screams are inward screams. Just a great sound & super talented.
Dominic 'Forest' Lapointe left handed fretless bassist is beast
The Browning - Beyond Stone
Way to start the tech death journey Vin! Have fun :))
They already reacted to some tech-death (Spawn Of Possession, Quo Vadis, Gorod).
BLOODBATH - Outnumbering The Day (death metal) , HAVOK - Intention To Deceive (thrash metal) , SINSAENUM - Final Resolve (death metal)
I just subscribed to you guys
I have quality ps4 headphones. And still couldn't understand what he was growling. Musically, I found them MEH! The music stirs depression. For whom the bell tolls knocks this into orbit!
This is a good band... I approve! #darkside
I'm in the same music scene as theme and most of my friend's played shows with Beyond Creation
quebec represent \m/
Fretless bass. Can’t beat it.

🤘
I think you guys oughtta check out the faceless, preferably something off the autotheism album
For more tech death you could also give Cytotoxin a chance ("Gammageddon" f. e.).
if you liked it , watch for First Fragment - L'entité , same bassist
