    when this song was released, i immediately became obsessed. now that the album is out, i always forget how good vortex is just because of how amazing the other tracks sound. if you liked the chaos of vortex, you'll like mediator. just like vortex, there's almost no room to breathe. it's a bit of a harder listen though - it took me a few listens before all the grooves started to come together in my head.

      feel the same way....The first listens is like driving a car in the fog, and now and then the road turn so sharp that you drive of the road, you quick get back..and a min later the road turn sharp again....after a few listen you know the"Road" and you just groove along without getting thrown off

    I love this song so much. You can see it live at the end of Hellfest A Home lockdown virtual festival uploaded by Arte Concert. There is a bit with a vocal backing track harmony "so traumatic" though and watching the fast transitions between growls and belting are soooo amazing. Lots of fun tracks on this album.

    This is probably taking my song of the year, & I can't see anything else beating their "Wallflowers" album (from whence this comes) for my album of the year.
    You're spot-on in zoning in on Vlad the drummer. He is a classically trained pianist to trade, & only swapped from (self-taught) guitar to (self-taught) drums in his previous band as he felt that would be easier than trying to convey his ideas for more interesting drumming to a new drummer!! o_O #AnnoyinglyTalented LOL Anyhoo, he composed upwards of 80% of the music for this new album, & I reckon his classical sensibilities show themselves in the form of distinct lack of standard verse-chorus-verse-bridge/breakdown-chorus formulae. Much more organic flow using 2 or 3 core "motifs" thru each song, which are then manipulated with varying dynamics, counterpoint, etc to create "movements" much more like what tends to be seen in classical composition.... & I'm *SO* here for it! #SuperRefreshing
    p.s. check out some of his drum playthrough vids.... he does all of this live, & tight AF. Also worth your time imho would be Eugene's bass playthrough for this song. The slides giving a deep sense of flow, the casually fingernail-raked chordals giving an angry girth to the mix, the tasteful addition of some slap&pop where very few others would think to place it to keep the ear entertained.... it makes me want to pick up a 5-string for the first time ever in 30yrs of bass dabbling! #MasterClass ;)

    I'm pretty sure Vlad uses two snare drums, the hits at the beginning are on the 10" one, which does sound really tight indeed. Real musicianship at work, you can almost tell he was a classical pianist ;)

    @manjay49 2 года назад

    I recommend their live performances. They do not improvise. Vlad, the drummer who joined in 2016, is trained on classical piano, self-taught on guitar, which is his main songwriting tool and is self-taught on drums. Since 2018 or so, he also became one of the main songwriters. The main reason they never improvise is that they always have a click in their ear pieces with backing tracks running in real time during their performances. Hence, it is more like Classical music with strictly-adhered to written parts for each member. Tatiana, Roman, the guitarist, and Eugene, the bassist, are all self taught. Amazing.

    Unfortunately, they found themselves one man short in the middle of the US tour: Vlad tested positive for Covid-19 and had to be quarantined. The rest of the band all tested negative but they were put under constant vigilance. Fortunately for them, he had recorded drum tracks that they used for practice and now they're playing live with those drum tracks. Because the show must go on.
    I'm sincerely praying that Tatiana doesn't get infected too because it could potentially end her career. : (

    I think you'd appreciate Wallflower, especially if you like bluesy metal. Mediator might be a bit much just yet... it even took _me_ with dozens of listens to their entire discography, a good ten listens plus some lyrics studying, to go from feeling kinda "...eh..." about Mediator, to really liking it now. Though if you like punk and ska influences in your super-heavy metal, you might dig it.

    Vlad wasn't even a drummer until his old band couldn't find what they wanted. He did a Thanos "Fine...I'll do it myself" and then he melted everyone's faces off. He also plays classical piano, guitar, and I've seen him play an upright bass once on Instagram.
    I've watched a lot of live Jinjer and he is always on point. I've noticed that he does occasionally make changes to drum parts, but he usually sticks with the change. He's not just improvising. I'm not a drummer, but after you listen to this song 100 times you can pretty much catch the gist of it so I'm sure he plays it note for note live. At least it sounds like it to me.
    The dude is a musical monster and wrote most of the music for the latest album.
