    • @aarononon
      @aarononon 3 года назад +1

      A defining characteristic of technical death metal is fretless bass, and when the guitars (sometimes vocals) switch in to the rhythm section so the bass can lead the melody. It's awesome, and Riccardo is 100% correct, you gotta do a Cynic song! "Veil of Maya" or "How Could I?" would show off the bass, but Evolutionary Sleeper is my favourite song :)

    It made my soul happy that you have come to appreciate the growls. Welcome to the "growl" side of life, brother. So much emotion and such big sounds....by restriction and tongue/soft palette placement. Practicing belts actually made me a better singer as well. So much skill to effortlessly switch and combine singing to screaming. You have so much more to dive into here, especially because you dont pay attention to lyrics first, just vocals as instrument. Screaming is almost percussion and chord at same time.
    Basically the rock scene looked at all of the instruments (including voice) and said "what else can we do with these things?" Some of the metal lyrics can get super dark...dont be turned away if you do read some.....theres some really great, unique stuff tho. You really are the Decomposer, you metal man, you.

    Seriously dude, that video reaction is EPIC!!! I'm so glad you got to Obscura. There is so much going on in their music if one can get over the growling, just like you do. I hope you do some more of their songs. Anything from Akroasis or Dilluvium, those are the 2 proggiest albums of their discography. Obviously the bass playing is a major part of this band, I knew your brand would melt with that fretless sound. If you need some more fretless in your metal I highly suggest you check out Angra. They use fretless basses in some of their songs. They play some south american ethnic prog metal. Omni Silence Inside is a prime example of their sound. Keep it up man!!!

    I love music of all genres and periods, from Bach to Sonny Rollins to Marvin Gay to Pantera. Akroasis is one of my favourite records ever. The whole thing is insane, not just this song. Fractal Dimension is absolutely bizarre and awesome. Probably the highlight though is the closer Weltseele, a 15 minute, transcendental, sublime, spell binding epic. The lyrics are so cool too. All based on German idealism, metaphysics, existentialism, and written in better English than I can speak. Apparently the people in this band not only have expertise in music theory, but they’re also well versed in Schopenhauer, Schelling and Hegel. They’re legit Renaissance men.
