He should hear the clarinet cover version
Agreed - I actually prefer Caleb's version over the original !
I was about to suggest just that!
Yes please do the clarinet version!!
Yes.
Fuck yes!
legendary solo, from a legendary band. Muhammed Suiçmez arrived, dropped two benchmarks for TechDeath, and left
Top 2 guitar solos of all time:
1. Fermented offal discharge
2. Fermented offal discharge (demo version)
I've always preferred the Ignominious and Pale solo/the whole song.
Diminished to b
so true, every once in a while i get addicted to that solo again
3. Fermented offal discharge | Clarinet Cover. Hahaha
3. How Could I outro solo
One of the best solos ever. I’m actually listening to this song right now and then I see this video.
ya same here
I always preferred the solo on Advanced Corpse Tumor.
That’s how RUclips is supposed to work
Necrophagist is like the pinnacle of all death metal. It's sad that they quit so early because there really is nothing like them out there.
I believe Muhammed went on to be a Volkswagen engineer or something similar? Probably significantly less time to make music tied together with the fact he can make more money doing technical work than he could probably ever make sweating it out in a tour bus. Happy for the guy but really wish we'd gotten to see the music keep going.
It's when tech death peaked. Nothing is as exciting as this, in the genre, anymore.
@@benharbak Archspire is exciting though
@@KVROACEGG They have a completely different vibe to necrophagist
@@ProbablyNotAChicken Yeah they are modern tech death peak, but we still have lost of bands more in the line of Necrophagist and Spawn of Possession, The Artisan Era has tons of those.
Necrophagist is actually pretty inspired by classical music, and all technical death stuff takes notes from this legendary band.
Genre carry over is hilarious.
You should listen to “I am the black wizards” surf rock cover.
It’s neo-classical.
And only Bach can do better.
EKCHKCHUELLEY METAL IS JUST CLASSICAL MOOOZICK WITH DISTORTEEEOOOON XDXDDDD 🤓🤓🤓
@@yield.to.naught ...what the hell is your problem?
Hell yes, this is one of my favorite songs ever. The craftsmanship is insane. That solo is pure unadulterated talent. I get it's not music for everyone, but this was a literally "I have no words" moment and I love it lol
Watching Necrophagist live was the most important thing of my life I guess. When I think about it, I say to myself "what, how, why?"
2008 summer slaughter \m/
I was 21
I envy you guys so much 🤘🤘
@@lucasmitchell4769 thanks bro 🤘
Ya i got to see em in toronto back in i think 2007, they killed it. Had no idea theyd split up a short while after that concert.
I did it too bro
A lot of technical death metal can be looked at as a mutation of "heavy" Bach stuff.
The solo that keeps on giving! Epic pick 🤘
10:13 - the last information I read was that he is a lead engineer for BMW (he is turkish german).
this kind of music is an aquired taste its not the same as traditional music. its takes time to understand it buts once you get it you really get it and the journey to get there is worthwhile
When I was introduced to metal I didn't like traditional heavy metal, but I loved Death Metal, and I was like 5 or 6 years old, I guess it depends on the person, you can either like the heavier stuff instantly or work your way to it. Maybe i'm just an exception to the rule?
@@KVROACEGGI also am not that fond of traditional heavy, to be honest. However, I did work my way to death metal. Started with prog rock, then alt metal, then I listened years and years of thrash metal and then finally I got to death metal.
When I was in my thrash era, I caught a faint glimpse of technical death metal and hated its guts. Just when I listened to death metal and slowly worked my way to tech death, understanding it better, that I actually got to enjoy it. Now tech death and death are my absolute favorite genres, alongside with classical music. We all approach music from distinct standpoints, it's astounding.
@@Breno1997 Wow you actually started with rock, not even metal? And yes, both classical and tech death demand a lot of attention, and it has a lot of replay value because of that, trying to get everything that the song has to offer. My other favorite genre is Rap but the complexity there is focused on the lyricism, rhyme schemes, metaphors, wordplay, all of that, it's crazy stuff too. But sadly mainstream Rap makes it seem like a bad genre.
I remember vividly how I was like 14 and listening mostly to metalcore/numetal and seeing Bathorys self titled mentioned on some forum. My mind was blown by how shit it sounded but i was hooked
@@KVROACEGGbabies love death metal for some reason
My favorite reaction channel, and I sincerely mean that. Reminds me of myself and a close friend of mine, who also likes way different music, yet get along like peas and carrots. Judd, you are quite the character, and I’m here for it.
I've never been able to fathom how some people can't 'latch on' to metal. My first time listening to this song was like hearing music for the first time again.
Because it’s just garbage. The only other music I can’t listen to at all is jazz but at least that has some kind of artistic merit.
Metal is just obese cringe lords who haven’t bathed in years putting on a fake voice and screaming into a mic while the rest of the “band” members make as much noise as they can.
Actually this doesn't latch on to me either. I LOVE the solo, but the rest of the song is a bit too much for me.
I do really enjoy Dream Theater and Tool and I really appreciate the solo but the rest of the song doesn't really do it for me. Purely subjective but, in my opinion, the drums are a bit too repetitive. I do enjoy some of the fills and the small parts in between but as a whole it's really only the solo I enjoy.
@@TIMxisxHERE Interesting, totally unbiased here, as I really enjoy electronic music these days, but these riffs just have such a badass vibe to them for me. They sound to me like confidence materialized through sound. However, I wouldn't expect my perspective to change your view of it. I think all of Necrophagist's compostions were brilliant, and there are very few who can tow the line between drama/cheese technicality/musicality with as much finesse as Muhammed did. Cheers!
@@AustinZoph Yes it is subjective, and your opinion is welcome! I do listen to plenty of electronic music myself too though!
@@TIMxisxHERE Was the same for me, at first. I came to Death Metal through _Death_ and thus, was used to an entirely different style. But slowly, this grew on me. The solo was always beautiful to listen to, and over time I came to enjoy the rest of the song. Maybe it'll grow on you as well. And if not, so be it. Everybody is entitled to their own taste :)
Excellent guitar work through out the whole song and the solo was definitely on point great music
There is a similar story with Matthias Kogler, a Lutist, like his father. There is this symphonic black metal band called Estatic Fear, they released just two albums. The second album, a masterpiece in my opinion, was completely composed by Matthias and played by him and several guest musicians. The instruments used range from lute to cello, from harpsicord to church organ. Really great stuff. Then he vanishes.
I will be checking that out now, thank you
Same. Never heard of it but I’m looking forward to it
Estatic Fear is doom metal not black metal. Though is a good project.
@@johnrrt1973 I'd say they were a mixed genre band. Somebody elso could say they are a folk metal band or a gothic metal band. Good band nonetheless.
@@Greatmeasuresbe sure to listen to both albums if you like doom metal with goth and classic touch together with Judson or without :) It's epic
I just loved seeing some of your facial expressions 😂😂😂
Same lmao
Love your reaction to this Great song. Got both Necrophagist albums.
Maybe you can do 'Spawn of Possession' sometime. I've seen Richard wearing a shirt of them in one of your videos.
Definitely going to introduce him to Spawn of Possession. 🤘
@@Greatmeasures Another great technical death metal band form Sweden is Anata; definitely on par with their countrymen in Spawn of Possession. Anything from their brillant album 'The Conducture's Departure' should do the trick... 🤗
@@Greatmeasuresyes, personally I think a song like The Apparition would be highly appreciated!!!
Can't wait to see Judson's reaction@@Greatmeasures
This is officially my favourite place to be introduced to new bands. Keep doing what you're doing gents 💚🤙
Legend of a band.
I was jamming some The Human Abstract today and think some of the songs off Digital Veil would be worth checking out.
The main guitarist is classically trained. They have cool “neo-classical” melodic metalcore.
Faust, Antebellum, and Horizon of Zenith are my favs off the album.
Thanks for the videos!!
please have him check out the clarinet cover of this song
necrophagist is amazing we need them back
I would recommend something by Agalloch. Mainly from the albums The Mantle and Ashes Against the Grain. Great atmospheric black metal!
Two of my favourites!
This was fantastic... can't beleve I have missed this :-)
This is my all time favourite Necrophagist song, never gets old. Kinda like the rest of the music Muhammed put out. Their will never be another band like this, and it's sad as hell, but at least we got 2 albums. My favourite tech death albums ever. Nothing comes close for me. Also, my man is wearing a Putridity hoodie? Fuck yeah, one of the sickest BDM bands out there right now.
He left after the Xiphos with Ibanez deal and became an Engineer for BMW in Germany. Pretty sure he earned his Masters in Mechanical Engineering WHILE writing one those albums. If not before.
Hannes Grossmann, the man on the drums, is playing together with Christian Münzner in a band called "Alkaloid", they're more on the progdeath side of things and i could see it being more of a fit for Judson. Both also have soloprojects which are incredible - Hannes' soloproject leans more towards the sound of Necrophagist, while the one of Christian is more like Alkaloid.
Christian Münzner plays in Obscura, which is also a very progy techdeath band. So if anyone wants to hear some other bands somewhat related to Necrophagist - there you go.
Christian left Obscura years ago, replaced by Tom "Fountainhead" Geldschläger, and now Rafael Trujillo on lead guitar. Hannes was also in Obscura at one point, but now they have David Diepold on kit.
All great projects/bands mentioned. I agree that Judson might like Alkaloid more, at least until he acquires the taste of the Necrophagist sound. Hannes' solo project is certainly not to be slept on. "The Radial Covenant" features so many great artists from other bands (such as Per Nilsson from Scar Symmetry).
@@troysmithfr Rafael hasn't been in Obscura for years. A Valediction had Christian back in the band.
@@troysmithfr according to Encyclopaedia Metallum, Christian is since 2020 back in Obscura, but i'm not sure which information may be outdated.
Oh, a small sidenote:
The bassist from Alkaloid - Linus Klausenitzer - plays in a band called Obsidious. I'd say Obsidious are propably the best gateway into more proggy or techy kinds of music, even better then Alkaloid.
@@Z0mb13moon Really? Didn't know, I haven't kept up with them since Diluvium.
@@Sthephyr12 Yeah, I may have heard about that actually...
This is cool, it's exactly like me trying to show my mates all the bands I love.
Richard we're going to need a full album reaction to Epitaph! 😅
7:07 Okay. I'm by no means a Metal fan, but I love my Zeppelin, Sabbath and Tool. That being said I adored that breakdown/switch to the solo. I'm actually surprised Jetson (?) didn't pick up on the overt classical elements in there. But I'm a newish subscriber, so maybe that has already been discussed many times in previous reactions which I see are mostly Metal. If so, my bad.
You should have done only ash remains since it ends in an excerpt from Romeo and Juliet, the montages and capulets, by Prokofiev! I feel like he would have thought that was interesting!
Oh yeah baby. I've been wanting this one
All of those sweep picked arpeggios damn 😅
I'm glad I was able to catch it live
I think the variety of tracks you chose from the metal genre is just AMAZING!
It's very funny to watch the guys during the solo 😄
11:20 "I dont have much man", I love when youtube brings me this, just people being people, not being youtubers.
I'm surprised there hasnt been any Death (Schuldiner) yet. A good strong death (genre) that is much simpler and sure to not be "too much" as he says, would be Bolt Thrower. E.g. "When cannons fade" is IMO one of the best songs ever.
Bolt Thrower is great, a lot more straight-forward musically than this too.
This song has my favorite solo of All time in music.
I've shed tears listening to Necrophagist. The beauty is raw and primordial. Precise chaos. A cohesive contradiction.
I am surprised I missed this band back in the day!! That is some great talent Mohammed has!!
omg this was gold hahah. well done gents.
I've seen and met Mohammed in Atlanta. The whole band was awesome and young at that time. Mohammed was humble dude. As a player myself, your right, he is a metal genius too. They played Death cover that night
That’s awesome! Are you from the Atlanta area?
@@Greatmeasures about 80 miles south. I've seen probably 100s of shows up there especially at the old Masquerade. That show was Necrophegist Dying Fetus and Cannibal Corpse in 2006. I really dig y'alls channel . I always look forward to Juds piano at the beginning to figure out what song he's playing. Good Job dudes.
@@cbrolison thank you. I usually come to Atlanta once or twice a year for shows. Last year it was Bodysnatcher, Angelmaker, and Paleface. March or April? I can’t remember. It’s about a 4 hour drive for me but sometimes it’s the closest venue that some of these show come to for us.
Mohammed is indeed a mechanical engineer at BMW and was soured on the music business after his experience with Relapse…
Archspire - Golden mouth of ruin!!
It really sucks going through life with the masses thinking you’re crazy because they can’t comprehend your favourite music.
From my view the masses are crazy because they listen to music so simple it sounds like a dripping faucet. Just one two three four, one two three four, I think the masses have broken brains.
Watched this with Necrophagist t-shirt on me :D
my heart goes out to all the people incapable of enjoying death metal
I'm just glad he got to hear it :)
Have him check out some Inferi like their song Behold the Bearer of Light!
I can’t explain why, but “Destroyer” is my favorite Inferi song. I like Behold the Bearer of Light too, though.
@@Greatmeasures That's another great one! I got to see them live a few months ago an they played both :D
@@zooly132 I want to see them live so badly. The stars haven’t aligned for that to happen yet, but maybe one day.
Agreed!!! Definitely top 5 favorite solos at the very least.
Fantastic Technical Death Metal band!
I truly love it, maybe one of the first bands of the style that I heard.
Clarinet was fuckn brutal loved it
7:15 That bend took his soul to the hell and back hahahahah
7:34 Starting to love it
7:45 Vibing with it
The solo in this one and Ignominious and pale are the two greatest solos of all time. Hands down. Elena Verrier on youtube does a cover of I&P and I honestly like her cover of the solo in that cover better than the original
I also love the solo from “Advanced Corpse Tumor”. So good 🤘
Maybe the best solo from one of the best Technical Death Metal song of all time.
I'm sure you have heard by now, but Angelmaker is from Vancouver B.C Canada
9:20 Most of the brutal metal heads i know are nothing but big teddy bears with nothing but love and purity in their hearts.
Its a catharsis listening to this stuff.
Exactly the right term. Metal for me is an emotional release, and good metal songs are like diamonds in a sea of dust. Most other music is just fake, plasticy to me. Polished and produced to appeal to anyone and everyone. But in so doing it loses its soul. In metal, raw, unfiltered expression is celebrated and brings people together
10:20 The band is split up, sadly. Last I heard, Muhammed was working for BMW or something
You know the solo slays when it just randomly cuts to the verse riff for a short measure just because they can. With all the crazy tech death out there now and all of the evolving and progression, Necrophagist is still the solid standard. In 50 years from now people would still believe you if told them this album got released that day
Judson's face with all the weird shit in the solo 🤣
The intro melody of "für Elise" by Beethoven was used in a section in "The Stillborn one" by Muhammed - let him listen to it the next time, I'd be super funny if he'd recognized it!
I wad just listening to some necrophagist earlier then this popped up. Awesome coincidence...
I'm not even a fan but I know of the band. I heard Muhammed is a mechanical engineer and "supposed" to be working at BMW but at this point it's all hearsay. A few people has seen him in a festival or two, that's about it.
The way Judson looks into the camera when the song stops ahahaha
Where is he? He's a BMW mechanic!
Was fortunate to catch these guys at Harpo's back in the day. Blown away...then nothing. Well, not nothing, like 10 straight years on the New Year's "most anticipared albums of..."
😂 This is true. I’ve been Rick Rolled so many times by “New Necrophagist” headlines.
@@GreatmeasuresI got super fired up over an April fools announcement of their 3rd album release. Christmas is canceled, adult version
Very nice. Love to see tech death on here
Stabwound also should be checked
Agreed
"The mind that must come out of" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have to thank my twin for introducing me to this band.. The Lead is beautiful. That is what brought me mostly to enjoy that band plus they are all very talented.
In all likelihood, we will never get another Necrophagist album, so the next best thing is Alkaloid, featuring Hannes Grossmann on drums, who formerly played in Necrophagist. Last years 'Numen' album by Alkaloid is a progressive, technical death metal masterclass, and guitarist Christian Müenzner is definitely on par with Muhammed Suiçmez. Check it out! 🤘
Alkaloid is my last favorite discovery. I had the suggestion of their song "Cthulhu", than i listen to the "Liquid Anatomy" album & i've been automatically hocked. "Numa" is also a blast!🔥😎🤘
I love Alkaloid. I also plan to show him “Apparition” from Spawn of Possession at some point in the future. And of course some Obscura.
@@Greatmeasures Speaking of 'Obscura', maybe you should play him something of the album of the same name from Gorguts? That album has some of the most technical, complex, dizzying, angular, atonal and avantgarde death metal ever created. I bet that would really baffle him and leave him wondering what just happened.. 😁 Hell, that album still baffles even me, and I have listened to it repeatedly over the last 25 years. Truly a unique and one of a kind album, that took the genre places it had never gone before, and the rest of the technical death metal world is still catching up.. 🤗
@@pentheroliver3794 'Liquid Anatomy' was my AOTY in 2018, and 'Numen' was my AOTY in 2023, so you can imagine the love I have for Alkaloid.. 🤗 Flawless musicianship and excellent songwriting combined... 👌🤘👍😎
@@cbn6635 I like this idea. Start with something from Obscura and follow it up with something from Colored Sands?
I don't understand how a classically-trained pianist doesn't look at that song as just a distorted version of historical music.
I suspect Sebastian Bach would've given at least a 3-second golf-clap towards the effort.
You need to react to Deicide Dead by
Dawn. That was just right up to my Happy Place. Necrophagist needs to be played more..Great choice by our dudes from Great Measure...
Awesome format, love your interaction. Keep it real yo
As fresh as the day it came out
I put the solos from Allegeon’s “Biomech - Vals no. 666” and Revocation’s “Bound By Desire” in the same tier as this Necrophagist solo because my god are they mesmerizing 🔥 especially the Revocation solo I actually place that above the other two including the necrophagist solo. Y’all should try Bound By Desire By Revocation man 🔥🔥🔥 you wouldnt regret it and your viewers would also find /discover great music through it too! If they don’t already know it ofc
no wayyy what a cheeky surprise :D
great concept for a channel
Thanks for hanging out with us!
u need to put on only ash remains next just for the ending alone, but the whole sonig is a masterpiece
Show him Spawn of Possession, it has more classical influences and he may understand it more.
There is band from USA called Virophacus (I think is a one man band) He released and EP called Unus on 2019, their songs are extremely like Necrophagist style.
I saw them at the black sheep in Colorado springs in like 2008. He was really cool and let me get a picture with him and he made a Talladega Nights reference I didn't get cause I've never seen it.
"Shake and bake" is a funny thing to hear from someone with an accent like his.
Who threw you in the mosh tip as a baby ha ha…. amazing stuff this guy Necrophagist.
Fermented offal discharge... Alright then 🎉
🤘
Hit him with something from Ulcerate - Stare into death and be still. They're from New Zealand and one of my favorite bands lately.
To me, Ulcerate is just about the best death metal band operating in the scene today... they represent everything I love for this genre of music... 😎 ...and Jamie Saint Merat has got to be one of the most innovative drummers out there... 👌
For the love of God, there has to be a reaction to the song Emotion Sickness by Silverchair!!!!
peak compositional skills
Judson's face classic.
"Tolle Maßnahmen" 🤣 Depending on what the name means to you, I'm thinking "Wesentliche Maßnamen" (as in fundamental, significant), "Grandiose Maßnahmen" (as in grandiose), or maybe even "Große Maßnahmen" (as in physically or metaphorically large).
Anyway, I've been enjoying this channel, thanks for putting it all together! I found Necrophagist just recently as I've been checking out more Tech Death, coming from a Doom/Stoner and generally experimental background. One band I found that I really like is Gorguts. Something off Colored Sands might be a good pick.
Also wanted to leave two general recommendations you might not be familar with. One is the band Huntsmen, specifially the song "Awake at Time's End" off of Mandala of Fear which is the most "not like the others" song on an already very stylistically varied album. The whole record is a great listen. The other recommendation is a band called Yautja from Nashville, specifically the album The Lurch. I couldn't put them in a box if I wanted to.
It seems Google Translate didn’t understand the context we were trying to use. Thank you for that info!
I was actually listening to “An Ocean of Widsom” on the way to the store to get groceries today. I need to add them to the list of things to show him.
I don’t know Huntsman or Yautja but I’ll check them out. Thank you!
2:25 FANTASTIC pronunciation
The names of some of the harder metal bands and albums are so cartoonishly brutal. It never stops being hilarious
You know, this music is crazy to mostly every single person at first until it's not..that's how we he enjoys it. Then you can listen to that song n revel in it'd amazingness or whatever dope heavy amazing band. I remember being a freshman in like 06. I was on ecstasy, jus rolln Real hard at Safeway lol. Sitting in the parking lot at night jus listen to this on my headphones. That was ecstacy
You guys should check out Wintersun-Time.
Definitely heard about Necrophagist, but never took the time to listen to them, thanks for bringing them to my attention through this channel. For the longest time i couldnt articulate the difference between death and black metal but now its pretty clear. Of course, i heard about the classic separation that people make by referring to the lyrics and the subject matter but to mem, it was always an effy difference. Cant classify metal sub-genres by the topic of the lyrics, it just doesnt sound right. On the other hand, production is really different. For example, its pretty known that early black metal bands were competing with each others to have the worst production, something that was never a thing in death metal. Also, the drum patterns in black metal can be pretty punk-like and that, again, never happens in death metal.
Richard are/were you into the band 'The Faceless' ?
especially their debut album 'Akeldama' i love that sound soo much
I was/am! I remember the first time I heard of them. I believe it was summer 2007 and I was at a show in Memphis. The lineup was Terror, Bleeding Through, Animosity and Through the Eyes of the Dead. I think? I’m not 100% sure on that lineup.
When the show is over and everyone is exiting the building, there are people at the doors, handing out flyers for a concert that’s coming up soon and the flyer is the artwork from Akeldama. I went home, looked them up on Myspace and loved it.
Went back to the show they were promoting and the lineup was
Job For A Cowboy
A Life Once Lost
The Faceless
Despised Icon
Those were the days.
@@Greatmeasures That's so awesome!! i wish i had the luxury of seeing all these bands live (i live in israel sadly xD) and yeahh 2003-2010ish Deathcore was the BEST
Thank you for not doing "Stabwound". This is my second favorite song of theirs after "Advanced Corpse Tumor", which also has a ridiculous solo. Free the necrodrive!
This is what the channel's all about. As Bill Hicks would say, it was like watching a dog being shown a card trick. Very amusing.
Ps. Loving the new Great Measurea logo, really pops. Do i feel a t-shirt coming?
We hope so. We’re going to explore those options.
8:28 I'm not sure if anyband does that type of delay effect without actual delay effects. It's crazy.
Man I thought that was Sal from impractical jokers
This feels like a perfect video to recommend Archspire's Drain of Incarnation on
God I love this band so much.
