@@gregshamu2349 Listen to the "Warp Zone" album. Davidson has named that album a big influence, the inspiration in Dan Mongrain's solos is pretty obvious. It's also a great record on its own. Martyr is an amazing band.
Claire is just trying to get the crows to leave some Twinkling Titanite chunks so she can upgrade her guitar to +5. "Pickle pee, pump a rum... Give us silky, give us smooth"
@@JosephCornely obscura is great but revocation beats them in the sense that it has better riffs and it's not just showing off with arpeggios 24/7, they're actually focusing on writing good music.
@@Conundrums._ who said i was hating on obscura? they're easily in my top 20 bands of all time, i have 4 of their albums on cd, an omnivium shirt, and ive seen em live and am planning to see em again with thulcandra.
Oh holy fuck the riff from "Of Unworldly Origin" is so ruthless! I had actually learned to play a handful of Revocation songs from the 2nd and 3rd album. Never quite as good as Dave himself but still pretty passable performances. I picked up the songbook for the new album, and the exact riff you guys struggled with fucking destroyed me lol. I lost my mind a little bit! It was kinda relieving to know it wasn't just me having a hard time.
Revocation are the absolute unsung gods of modern thrash/tech death. I hate to be that guy, but I've been a fan since the Chaos of Forms days and saw them live twice over a decade ago in a couple tiny little clubs up in Maine, like tiny to the point where the other bands were in the crowd and even moshing when they weren't on stage. I even talked to Dave a couple times back then. They're finally gaining traction and popularity and it's fucking great to see
Gahhhh that was so good. I get like a million times more out of seeing players like you finding the material difficult than if you just nailed it first time. Thanks for keeping it real guys
Revocation is one band that really sticks with me, the last 10 years I have been going back to them so frequently, I'm hoping to get a set of his pickups.
Absolutely agreed! I have the Imperium 7 in the Bridge of my Jackson, and it sounds REALLY good. The definition it adds to chords is really nice, and it assists the clarity of low notes as well. They also clean up really nicely. The only thing I will point out is that you have to push the pickups a bit harder than most (for really chunky chugs anyway), since they're lower output.
They're awesome pickups. I have one of his sigs and an imperium in another 7. Very thick and chunky, but still clear. Definitely one of the best dimarzio offerings in a long time besides the fortitude.
If you never just watched a guitar playing video of Dave from revocation you’re missing out. Just crazy good, extremely intricate without sacrificing quality or emotion. Absolutely an amazing guitarist
Revocation is one of my favorite bands, so I was pumped to see this. Dave has been a massive influence on me, I can't play 1/10th as good as him, but he's super creative and his excellent writing helps to set him apart. This was a great one to watch, loved the cameo from the crow. He just wanted to lay down some vocals over the Daveman Caveman riff!
-Caveman Riffs w/ Dave Davidson- Heckled by a Neighbourhood Crow | 4 Levels of Death Metal: Revocation | S3E2 I think it was asking you a very important question: Bread with no yeast?
That number four riff man. Damn. That's a thing. The speed and sheer amount of notes in each bar plus the accents. Woofy dog. My hands hurt from watching you guys try it. Nice job though. That's pretty impressive for spending so little time on it. Relatively speaking.
Likely not happening, especially with Keene's history of being a douchebag (and also doing something more sinister, like basically stealing money from a fan).
Looking forward to this one! Dave Davidson is one of my favorite guitarists and Revocation rules, so I'm interested to see what he picks out for you two to learn :)
@@infinidominion So are first fragment. I could see them doing ff before gorguts for some reason. Claire and dean both seem like huge neoclassical nerds.
Specifically level 4... that was such a bummer of a riff for me. I had just finished "learning" the Great Is Our Sin album and finally decided to move on to Outer Ones. The intro of this song was amazing (Tremolo picking madness!!) then the level 4 riff started. I read it a few times, went through it a few times, then proceeded to unplug my guitar and put it on the rack, not to look at it again for maybe 2 weeks. Thankfully the rest of the record was MUCH easier than that riff (for the most part... looking at you Nihilo.)
I just have to say - I love you guys. I was at a show you were doing with Revocation+Rivers of Nihil in Brno, Czech Republic, talked to anyone I could catch with some free time on their hands, and man - I just wish I'd followed the channel then like I do now. You're a huge inspiration, and I'm really happy I'm alive at the right time to see everything people like you are creating in realtime. I hope I'll get a chance to be featured on the show with you guys some day :) Keep on keepin' on
I love Dave Davidson I also have his signature pickup and it’s really an interesting pickup it lets the wood speak cause in some guitars it wasn’t great and in some it was so sick. Only pickup I haven’t sold off 😎
Tomorrow is my birthday as well! And I gotta say the paint job on the guitar Claire is playing is awesome!! 🤘you guys are great I love watching your videos!
5% guitar playing, 95% bullshit. The perfect ratio for a music channel.
Claire kind of kicked your ass on the last level. Not to make it a competition
more like: Perfect for a RADIO "channel" /station, AMIRITE?
Damn straight lol
Kind of like MTV used to be when they had music.
👌
Professor Dave Daveman.
Cave Caveman.
Cave Cavidson
This actually made me laugh super hard and idk why😂
David Davidson, and Revocation in general, is [are] criminally underrated
*[sad Revocation fan noises]*
same as Martyr. WHICH, you can hear a lot of influence in Dave solo
What Martyr songs would you recommend to a Revocation/Dave Davidson fan?
@@gregshamu2349 Listen to the "Warp Zone" album. Davidson has named that album a big influence, the inspiration in Dan Mongrain's solos is pretty obvious. It's also a great record on its own. Martyr is an amazing band.
Loving this thread always glad to see to other revocation fans. Dave’s is doing lessons. Hit him up on Instagram for details

This is my favorite comment ever 😂😂😂
@@metalhead41294 ha, thanks man. I usually never miss a chance to drop a Dark Souls reference. Cheers
Hahahahaha. Fantastic
You mean upgrade to +8? Because her Kiesel is a 7-string already, you know, lol.
Sorry, I'll see myself out.
@@icipher6730 lol
you guys are delightful
Four levels of The Black Dahlia Murder would be awesome!
Revocation has some of the best solos I’ve ever fucking heard…
but people choose to listen to shitty breakdowns that all sound the same instead.
Obscura >>>>>
@@JosephCornely obscura is great but revocation beats them in the sense that it has better riffs and it's not just showing off with arpeggios 24/7, they're actually focusing on writing good music.

my pleasure
Revocation is one of my favorite bands and today is my birthday so this feels extra good to see.
Happy Girthday!
happy birth fellow stranger
happy birthday friend
Hbd
i asked for Dave in the last comment section, so i'm going to take credit for this one lol
I've asked a couple times, too. So I'll share credit with you.
Oh boy, is this gonna be one of those long credits that most people don't stay to watch?! XD
Yeah good thanks I like dave
Hey. Hey... I'll leech off of your credit since I've asked multiple times too. Thank you for the credit
@@theunpretentiousvegan8593 A++ on this group project
JOHN BROWN of monuments. should do four levels with him
someone: *mentions John Browne*
my right hand: *NOPE NOT HAPPENING*
I was just getting ready to post this. 🤘
I second this
Dave's riffs are incredible. Revocations album "the outer ones" blows me away every time I listen to it.
Not really death metal but I'd love to see you tackle Monuments! Browne and Olly write the sickest riffs
Oh holy fuck the riff from "Of Unworldly Origin" is so ruthless!

The fact that Dave does vocals at the same time as playing is so insane
It’s just so fucking fast Dave’s right hand is monstrous

4 levels with Josh Middleton of Sylosis!
it has happened
FUCK YES. I love Dave,one of the most creative musicians in metal
I met Dave Davidson when I was at the guitar sessions at Berklee College of Music, such a cool guy
4 levels with riff king Joe Haley from Psycroptic would be amazing
Oh damn yes that would be amazing!
Yes please!
Play the solo from deadlands
6:04 my question was avoided
Also love this band
I am livid on your behalf
Hoonters must bake

Revocation 🤤 thank you Dean Davidson😁 Happy Birthday Claire🎉🍰🎁🎈
The fact that a guitar player for one of the sickest bands out right now makes content like this is the chefs kiss.
Their video for "The Grip Tightens" is hilarious! 😂
The quality of this series is incredible ! You guys really worked your asses off !
Hey thanks! Quality will Improve greatly very soon, I promise.
You're going for "4 Levels of 4 Levels of Death Metal" 😊
Anyway, thanks for all the work you put into this, I love the show

show dan some love by playing doing artificial brain for the next four levels of death metal! love you guys!
I love dan
@@DeanLamb ARTI B FOR THE NEXT SERIES!!!!!! LETS SEE THOSE CHORD CHANGING CHOPS DEAN and CLAIRE!!
The Outer Ones tab book was the first one I bought from sheethappens and there are so many fun riffs on it. Definitely one of my favourite albums.
Mate, the outer ones is fucking incredible. One of my favourite metal albums of all time. The riffs and songwriting are insane.
ayyyyy, Dave. I take lessons from him. He's a great guitar teacher!
Revocation is so good and Dave is a chill dude. Love these guys
4 levels of Luc Lemay would make my year.
yes
Especially since he's Dave's biggest influence. That could be a nice follow-up.
@@nostrace exactly gorguts doesn’t get enough love

No joke, your guys' videos bring me straight joy even when I'm not having the best of times. Thank you. Needs more crows though.
Another great video, as always. Love Revocation. Would love to see 4 levels of Nile. Nile always has some pretty intense riffs.
Having Dan's other project, Artificial Brain, on the show would be great for some spacey tech riffs.
AB's particular style doesn't really seem up their alley, tbh.
@@RUclips_gets_dumber_each_year them suffering while learning Dan's weirdo riffs - more fun for us
Aw hell yeah you guys, love Revocation
So much youtube content is watered down crap, keep killing it 😍
So sick! Dean, Tobi and Dave (and Dan!) are some of my ultimate favorite tech death riff crafters!
You have to do Shadow of Intent, Chris writes some insane stuff. Great video!

4 Levels of The Faceless.
I think there’s been a bit of animosity between Michael Keene and Oliver “Egg Sandwich” Aleron the vocalist. I’d like to see it though.
Likely not happening, especially with Keene's history of being a douchebag (and also doing something more sinister, like basically stealing money from a fan).

Fucking love Revocation! Would love to see you do a 4 levels with Justin Mckinney and The Zenith Passage!
Expected Dismantle the Dictator the string skippage on that one is insane.
