So many positive comments, and the song isn't even fully released!!! Thank you everyone 🙏 *edit* now that the song is fully out, I'm even more stoked that people like the song! :)
When you listen to it again and realize that Jared plays Dean's solo on the BASS to set up Dean's solo on the guitar... that is A++ musicianship and songwriting.
@@Lucifurion He'd have to add at least four extra Levels for that, though. Everyone in the know knows WInger is technical af. Winger was double-zero br00tal before it was even a thing.
I’m with you man, this doesn’t sound “better” than Relentless Mutation but I’m just glad it sounds as good, I’ll take a part 2 because that album is as close to perfect as a fast technical death metal album gets without adding in contrasting genres to vary up the approach.
What surprises me constantly is how fun and listenable Archspire continues to be. A lot of tech-death suffers from mastabatory sections of over-shredding that lead to boredom. These guys leave it all on the table every song but it never sounds forced. Keep it up.
it's still masturbation but a "good" one at that. The vocals are absolutely horrible and lackluster. The band could as well just release instrumental tracks and no one would notice a difference.
I just don't understand how you can find 5 people this talented and have them all in the same band. You guys make the rest of the tech death world look like amateurs. This song is an absolute BANGER
Isn't anybody really talking about the fact that Jared fuckin kill that bass track? OMG he's literally sweeping the same guitar arpeggios. This is sick. We need a bass track video ASAP! Edit: After getting the tabs, i managed to make a full bass playthrough on my channel, and i'm so happy for that! :D
"So when do we have the bass solo?" "Let's have it directly before the guitar's" "But at that point Oli's still spewing..." "Don't worry, it'll work - it's on a Dingwall now."
there are many reason why Archspire are amazing, but the details like at 3:00 and 3:02 when Spencer hits that tiny cymbal in timing with the pinch harmonics is what sets them apart from so many bands, they just do the coolest fucking shit
There's a certain... groundedness to the whole thing compared to the previous records. The albums before (Relentless Mutation less than Lucid Collective) just were all out, Relentless was a lot more settled in the whole style and this appears to just take that exact impression one step further. All is still cranked to 11 but it all fits so homogenously and doesn't sound like everything wants to happen at the same time anymore (with absolutely no disrespect :D). Feels a lot more matured within the band's own style. Love it.
Great comment. And accurate. I have the same opinion. Especially the part “doesn’t sound like everything wants to happen at the same time.” I feel that.
exactly my feelings from first listenings - its grounded, their style definitely has matured, i kinda like that little bit of flamboyant feeling of relentless and previous records but im sure i will enjoy the fuck out of this record, cant wait
I'm 51 and two years behind on this banger, I've been listening to old school death metal since 89 and never gave tech death a chance and this band did it for me!! Just amazing talent from all these musicians!!
You've got to check out some shadow of Intent or slaughter to prevail if you've been stuck in the latest 80s early 90s, granted they're both not tech death, more so deathcore with touches of death metal, try "shadow of intent - intensified genocide" or "Slaughter to Prevail - Viking"
@@matthewwhitt1676 give it a go, especially with the song I recommended, I think you'll like them, I've talked to a few die hard death metal heads, and they're keen to it as well.
I know this is 3 years old now but just needed to add there’s something about when Spencer is riding the china around 3:40 onwards that just gets me every time I hear this song. It’s this little detail but it’s just perfection.
This album is gonna be insane. As in, their last album ruined most other tech death for me, so this new stuff might turn me off from all other music, period
I feel like especially if you’re a metal musician, it’s really hard to go back to most other genres because of the technical proficiency we all love in tech death!
I'll never understand how archspire can go so fucking fast and be so memorable and catchy. Literally one of the most brutal, catchy, neck snapping bands out there. Sure thought the last album was peak catchiness but holy shit you guys did it again. You guys fuckin rule. (Insert obligatory comment about Dean here). Sure hope you read this garbage Dean. ❤️ You
Because they write catchy riffs AND come back to them within a song to make it memorable. Even in this song, they introduced the main riff, expanded on it, then reintroduced a variation of it as a breakdown at the end. There's a structure to latch onto. Most tech death change riffs every 3 seconds and never repeat a riff in a song - yes it's progressive and 'tech', but dunno how anyone is supposed to remember that.
Well I know how some people can play so god dam fast The guitar has tapping and tremolo which are insanely fast also string skipping sweep picking some of these are very hard techniques to learn also pull offs I can go on guitar is really possible to be this speed but again it’s insanely difficult to pull off barely any bands want to go 300bpm or 250bpm Bass same reason as guitar it’s possible but a lot more difficult because 1 longer stretches and 2 you might be forced to use finger style due to thumping or slaps Drums are the easiest get a double kick and hit the snares high hats crash Toms and Kicks as quick as god dam possible and hold the crash to mute them The singing I legit have no clue how that’s possible it’s trying to do 2 things at once which is insanely quick rapping which is insanely difficult and god dam insanely difficult metal voices which is also insanely difficult Over all achrspire is legit up there as animals as leaders or cannibal corpse for the hardest riffs I ever seen
World's #1 Dad👆. It's never too early to start your kids on the right path in life. It's like the Jab to innoculate your kid's soul from the disease of pop "music".
they are getting on another level with that single. they were already unreachable and now they just nailed it even further. Well guys keep on giving us the best of yourselves. You will be forever loved and quoted for being avantgardist and unique on the whole metal scene. Stay tech

@@divinefallfromgrace I remember my friend showing me them back in 08 but I wasn't too into it at the time. However I will give it another shot cause my taste has changed quite a bit since
@@michaelfernandez8008 Also man, shoulda really said as you like Necrophagist- Spawn Of Possession, if ya don't already know 'em. They're no more, but they were feckin' devastating! 😉
I teared up listening to how incredible this song is. The skill in the vocals, guitar, bass and drums is unmatched. Preordered my gold vinyl and so keen!!!
Not to take anything away from the writing or performance because I think it's basically perfect, but man the production is incredible too. Everything is balanced and has a lively sound, tons of punch, not at all overcompressed.
Today I learned of this group and this song on XM while grabbing my kids up from school. Five hours later I was on my way to the hospital in an ambulance after someone smashed into me on the highway on my way to work. Totally ruined basically everything I have going for me. This is the first place I came to after everything settled and I am alone with a medicine and peace. I thank these guys more than I could ever thank them. I've been a part of heavy music since, I guess, birth. This was and very much still is next level mastery. Thank you. I really don't like today but the music always does something to help.
It's ridiculous how good Archspire is. To be honest, tech death never really clicked with me. But in the last few weeks I have blasted nothing but archspire - they are SO good! The songs are all well crafted, every band member has incredible talent and honestly I wish I had Spencer Prewetts drumming skills. What an amazing play style. This track is absolutely awesome, can't wait for the album. The vocals are also shaping up to be my favorite death metal vocals. Super unique imo!
Instrumentally this is just absurd, I can’t imagine any other vocal style on this. The Nathan Explosion sounding busta rhymes speed hybrid just is the best
@@geartweaker8518 The vocals are so unique compared to everything else out there in heavier genres. Almost has a rap type of flow to it with the speed but still remains so true to modern metal at the same time. Definitely reminds me of Nathan Explosion, but maybe Nathan on meth with the speed factor involved 😂
I play this for people who hate metal and even they can appreciate the next-level tightness and precision of an Archspire track! \m/ Never disappointing! \m/
I hate metal and I just discovered them. Though I’m not used to such vocals, I can absolutely enjoy the quiet (is it really) areas where they just shred but it sounds ? enjoyable… all the other ones I’ve heard just sound monotonous and the same.
I'm 2 years behind, but Archspire has really blown me away! Just incredible from ALL members. There isn't one who stands about above the rest, they all are so incredibly technically skilled, so tight, and everything just fits together so well. It's absolutely amazing!
At the 0:35 mark when Spencer goes POP-POP-POP-POP on the snare, I feel like I'm going down the first drop of a rollercoaster EVERY TIME!! Gives me chills...🤘💀🤘
I'm not even kidding, I've been sick since Monday and my 1 nostril has been leaking. During this song it stopped. You guys have cured my sickness! Thank you!
I’m a 50 + year old metal head and I have been getting more into extreme styles of metal lately. This band is so extreme in so many ways it’s almost too over the top but I appreciate the musicianship here. I remember when Pantera was considered pretty extreme, lol. Don’t get me wrong. Pantera is still one of my all time favorite bands, the music they created when Dime and Vince were alive anyway!
Outstanding. I love how each member gets their own color. Spencer finally gets a proper showcase. Jared's bass sits well in the mix. Dean and Tobi with the absolutely disgusting riffs. Oliver has outdone himself. Claire did an amazing job capturing this performance. Merch preordered. Now we just need Good Morning Handsome to come back!
This is like a universe trapped inside a crystal ball or some shit. Relentless Mutation was my extreme AOTY when it came out, and this is just fucking phenomenal. Welcome back, boys.
Amazing! I'm a metal head from the 80's and I'm always looking for something fresh and different and you guys are it! STP and Archspire are my best new finds of the decade. Just ordered the new lp on limited edition colored vinyl and cant wait to receive it. Keep it up and I hope someday you guys make it to Florida.
So many positive comments, and the song isn't even fully released!!! Thank you everyone 🙏

Yeah, he sets up Dean's solo by playing the same solo on the bass...
As a bassist i came. Twice
I love Archspire because the technicality never comes at the expense of musicality. This album is gonna schmack, can't wait.
I completely agree
Totally agree, somehow you are totally amazed by their techniques and yet touched by the melodies and musicality, so rare to find.
unlike obscura
To me both Archspire and Obscura are very musical, especially the albums with Christian Munzer, they are both groups filled with masterful musicians
@@chrisgore8597 there are song of Obscura i love as well but the last one was very meh in my opinion
I imagine Oli has to write twice as many lyrics since almost every syllable matches the blasts
yes. actually lol.
Read their lyrics, they're little novellas in each song. And well written
That’s probably why their lyrics are closer to short stories than songs
It's annoying and cliché at this point. 100% predictable.
@@TerminalM193 there is literally nothing predictable about their lyricism
Holy shit! I just realized at 1:53 that Jared actualy plays Dean's solo before Dean... on the fuckin bass!!! Wtf dude... xD
He sure does
"So when do we have the bass solo?"
"Let's have it directly before the guitar's"
"But at that point Oli's still spewing..."
"Don't worry, it'll work - it's on a Dingwall now."
there are many reason why Archspire are amazing, but the details like at 3:00 and 3:02 when Spencer hits that tiny cymbal in timing with the pinch harmonics is what sets them apart from so many bands, they just do the coolest fucking shit

Most tech death change riffs every 3 seconds and never repeat a riff in a song - yes it's progressive and 'tech', but dunno how anyone is supposed to remember that.
Well I know how some people can play so god dam fast
The guitar has tapping and tremolo which are insanely fast also string skipping sweep picking some of these are very hard techniques to learn also pull offs I can go on guitar is really possible to be this speed but again it’s insanely difficult to pull off barely any bands want to go 300bpm or 250bpm
Bass same reason as guitar it’s possible but a lot more difficult because 1 longer stretches and 2 you might be forced to use finger style due to thumping or slaps
Drums are the easiest get a double kick and hit the snares high hats crash Toms and Kicks as quick as god dam possible and hold the crash to mute them
The singing I legit have no clue how that’s possible it’s trying to do 2 things at once which is insanely quick rapping which is insanely difficult and god dam insanely difficult metal voices which is also insanely difficult
Over all achrspire is legit up there as animals as leaders or cannibal corpse for the hardest riffs I ever seen

Just when you think they cant top what they did previously...lets go again wow amazing!!!!
Can we vote for album of the year yet, or do we need to wait to actually hear the whole thing?
I'll have you know that I can already play that part at 3:24 .
My favorite RUclips video of all time is Oli’s Calamus karaoke video. But this is #2!!
New Inferi and Archspire back to back. We're not worthy!!
I play this for people who hate metal and even they can appreciate the next-level tightness and precision of an Archspire track! \m/ Never disappointing! \m/
in your dreams maybe.
@@Omertahun nah, I do it too. All people I've shown Archspire end up amazed, and most of them don't even like metal.
Really...... i played this song at work and almost lost my job.
I hate metal and I just discovered them. Though I’m not used to such vocals, I can absolutely enjoy the quiet (is it really) areas where they just shred but it sounds ? enjoyable… all the other ones I’ve heard just sound monotonous and the same.
man RElentless Mutation was played every time at my best friends parties, and he loves Tool ;9
This is actually my first archspire song I ever listened to, I was glad I did.
Claire and Dean were the directors?! Awww that's dope and cute!
How have these guys not won EVERY award by now
The director of photography and video editor need a raise! This video is GREAT!
Can't think of a song with better sweeps than this!
I'm 2 years behind, but Archspire has really blown me away! Just incredible from ALL members. There isn't one who stands about above the rest, they all are so incredibly technically skilled, so tight, and everything just fits together so well. It's absolutely amazing!
At the 0:35 mark when Spencer goes POP-POP-POP-POP on the snare, I feel like I'm going down the first drop of a rollercoaster EVERY TIME!! Gives me chills...🤘💀🤘
Spencer is nothing but a beast!!!!!
His snare tone is sublime
The vocalist moving/dancing like a rapper cracks me up
The best song of 2021 by far
If Mozart went death metal! Hell yeah!! I can fucking die happy now
As per the guitars in the intro and break down - OUI OUI
This is what i have been waiting for all year
Exactly!!!
This and Shadow of Intent will create a black hole inside my tiny brain !
The best 21 seconds this year! Even better than my 22 seconds one night stand
😂🤣
22 seconds? Master, teach me your ways.
the level of shreddery is incomprehensible
That's a Beautiful Brutal Cover your album has guys! The music is also 10/10 as always!
i haven’t actively paid attention to any album drop in my life but you guys have me checking every day
that handheld wide shot of spence is so good. What a G
I really liked how that bass line translated so well to the guitar solo that was really impressive actually
This is one of the dopest metal songs I’ve ever heard
the drummer seems soooooooo happy every time you see him
I'm not even kidding, I've been sick since Monday and my 1 nostril has been leaking. During this song it stopped. You guys have cured my sickness! Thank you!
I’m a 50 + year old metal head and I have been getting more into extreme styles of metal lately. This band is so extreme in so many ways it’s almost too over the top but I appreciate the musicianship here. I remember when Pantera was considered pretty extreme, lol.
Don’t get me wrong. Pantera is still one of my all time favorite bands, the music they created when Dime and Vince were alive anyway!
Was listening to Pantera earlier tonight and now here. Small World 😁🤘🍻
Outstanding. I love how each member gets their own color. Spencer finally gets a proper showcase. Jared's bass sits well in the mix. Dean and Tobi with the absolutely disgusting riffs. Oliver has outdone himself. Claire did an amazing job capturing this performance. Merch preordered. Now we just need Good Morning Handsome to come back!
Also Dave Otero the tech death legend for making it sound mint AF
Was Claire the videographer?
@@isaiahgrandt5305 Yep! She's listed in the credits if you expand the details on the video. Also directed/edited by Dean.
I thought Spencer always had a proper showcase
What's Good Morning Handsome?
Yes! Album of the year. Guaranteed.
Haha, called it!!!!
Archapire is literally the HEIGHT of metal
Talent. This is the peak lads.
Holy fuck,......... The snare and bass drum hits on the middle'?????? Wow,......crunchy ass blast beats, phenomenal guitar, absolutely amazing song
just a whole nother level... unmatched!!. not just technicality... I want to break everything around me!
It’s an Archspire song. I am not disappointed and am excited to hear the rest of the album after this. Just a taste.
Good to see Nathan Explosion's gangsta rap deathshred techcore project taking off.
oli's voice is so good and inhuman that youtube captions can't even process every word he's saying
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, it's almost perfect in every way.
I have a deep passion for music and enjoy all types of genres. This band is so technically advanced its scary
This is like a universe trapped inside a crystal ball or some shit. Relentless Mutation was my extreme AOTY when it came out, and this is just fucking phenomenal. Welcome back, boys.
Haven’t heard a song in years that has made me want to punch through brick walls the way Pantera used to make me feel.
Damn, that's the Archspire we want to ear !
This song is sick! You just raised the bar for technical death metal.
Amazing! I'm a metal head from the 80's and I'm always looking for something fresh and different and you guys are it! STP and Archspire are my best new finds of the decade. Just ordered the new lp on limited edition colored vinyl and cant wait to receive it. Keep it up and I hope someday you guys make it to Florida.
Veteran's souls never ages!
Kudos :3
