Slice The Cake - Stone and Silver Suite (From UK Tech-Fest at Home 2020)

- Опубликовано: 30 окт 2024
- This year we should've been making our return to the stage at UK Tech-Fest. Of course, the global coronavirus pandemic prevented that from happening.
In its stead, Invicta Magazine, Loki Films and UK Tech-Fest joined forces to curate two livestreams of bands from this year's line-up, the first of which we were honoured to headline.
This is our performance taken from Thursday's Tech-Fest at Home livestream, which sees the full live band performing all 3 parts of the Stone and Silver suite from Odyssey to the West.
If you can find it in your heart to donate to Tech-Fest, to help keep a festival that is so near and dear to our hearts afloat, you can do so here:

![Slice The Cake - Live At Home [Full Album]](/img/1.gif)
I think we’d all like to see The Exile played in full, if not an entire theatrical performance of The Odyssey. This was amazing, truly the highlight of the night!
AtomicToaster I just want to see them live
pipedream
WE NEED WESTWARD BOUND, PLZ
literally
So much...
Four years ago I was in awe of the melodic brilliance of Odyssey to the west and listened to it over and over again. It is hands down the best album 2016 and dare I say a strong contender even today. I advocated it as such to everyone I know likes this kind of music and to people that might be new to the genre. Rock on!
Literally same, I randomly stumbled upon odyssey, then listened to the rest but for about 2 years after it was all id listen to, showing everyone I knew and to this day I will always say that slice the cake dominate this genre massively, even during lockdown there thrown out this absolute beauty 💜
Hope these guys release more music soon.
I listen to it every couple days. I've even uploaded the multi part songs into my editing software to make them seamless. haha. It's one of the best albums I've ever heard. I love all of there work, but this is a masterpiece. I am interested moving forward as a band how things will sound. Especially in terms of them writing music that can be duplicated live. This will change vocals quite a bit, but will be solid.
if you like melodic brilliance, check out Ne Obliviscaris! Masterminds composition wise
@@seba.4926 seen them live in Gothenburg some years ago. It was awesome!
I still come back to this regularly. Blows my mind every time.
Gareth, I'd love to hear another acoustic version of Castle in the Sky Part II - Pieces of Ruins. It would be really great.
This 100% PLEASE
This is what 2020 needed right here 🔥
Seeing Gareth still recording/performing STC vocals in virtually the same set up and atmosphere to write and record in since he was a teen makes me grin hard. 💚 u bro
I hope I can watch you guys live one day before I die
Same
at first i read this as live (liv) instead of live (laiv) lol.
Oh, Kmac did the editing? Hell yea. I was always sad to hear that you guys kinda stopped everything after that last album. To see this pop up on my recommended, after how this year has gone... has made me very happy. Always happy to support you guys where I can.
Damn, you can really hear the work Gareth has put into his voice. To go from the incredible but unsustainable (live at least) shouting in the recordings to the really pretty mix he has going here is seriously impressive. The high notes in the last chorus are really tricky, I have a similar voice type to Gareth and can't figure out how to get up there consistently for the life of me.
This perfomance was astounding
OH MY GOD - This is absolutely outstanding! This is the original goodness but still vastly unique and different in its own right. Please, please don't ever stop making music and take care of each other. You guys are insanely talented and you can tell your music touches thousands of us
This is the only thing better than the original album. I've listened to it like 10 times, and it keeps getting better! Please, if you can, record more! This is truly transcendent
if i were a religious man... i would say this song is equivalent to a spiritual awakening
planning any new album soon? Can't get enough of the Odyssey to the West
Gareth's finishing up his solo album and Jack is undergoing a training montage in his home studio, but we are working on some new stuff, slowly, as ever.
@@slicethecake good to hear that y'all are getting back together, since, I remember the first time I discovered y'all, y'all get disbanded and I was well...sad because the music was so good that it left me wanting for more :p
@@slicethecake Can't wait to hear what Gareth's been cooking up
Can confirm. Gareth's new solo album is going to blow your minds, and the training montage I'm undergoing is suitably 80s themed. PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT.
@@slicethecake Man, if I'm gonna get any type of good news in 2020, a Slice The Cake return is one I'm happy to get. I mean I get we won't get an album this year, but the fact that you dudes are jumpin' back in the saddle again really means a lot to me. Other Slices and Odyssey To The West are some of my favorite albums.
One of the greatest albums I've listened to - every track is a masterpiece
13:05 Gareth. My mans. Your vocals are insanely pristine, and it is a blessing to be able to witness your progression. That transition from clean vocals to the scream... *chef's kiss*
Proud of you Gareth! Sounding good as ever
Revisiting this after the breakup announcement the other day just gives me such chills. So much talent across the board and the composition of these songs will have me hooked for years to come. Love you guys ❤
Can you guys make a comeback please?
Working on it!
@@MageroSTC incredible!
@@MageroSTC You still working on it?
@@HybridSpektar Almost every day, fam. Just been a very busy year for all three of us. We're not dead, not by a long shot though.
@@MageroSTC We'll wait patiently. Don't rush it.
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. It's so beautiful ❤️
Hell yeah, dudes! Glad to see Galen playing with you guys. Looking forward to hearing more from StC and Azure!
Insanely talented band. Every riff, solo and vocal melody is so tasteful (and there's a lot of them lol). Cheers from Brazil.
Legitimate goosebumps throughout the entirety of part 3. 😶
I'd love to see Unending Waltz!
Absolutely killer job there guys!
Thanks so much guys! You make absolutely beautiful guitars and it was a pleasure to use one to help make this video come to life.
Gareth is far better than he was it is truelly impressing (even if i liked the "almost screaming" gareth on this song xD )
I remember he said in some article that he recorded the vocals in a way that wouldn’t be replicated live, so I think that’s why he’s taking some liberty with try almost screaming parts
@@meta9440 I was with Gareth for part of the Odyssey to the West vocal writing/recording process and its 110% the case. We're both Sound Engineers and I'll tell you now, he puts so much production magic and subtle trickery techniques into the album/studio work there is no way. But also as a singer he's come so fucking far over the years..
@@skechyassmofo any idea if there’s any tuning or anything on the vocals here? Not trying to be a dick, I honestly just cant tell if he’s just slaying the fuck out this or if he’s got a little support.
@@master_letus1824 I would assume not. Even when recording for the albums, its just a lot of over dubbing
@@skechyassmofofucking rad. Cheers for replying!
How in the wide f*ck is this so underrated? I´ve enjoying your work since Race of roses and this is a truly masterpiece. Thanks for your music, guys.
Hell yeah, I play the shit out of this song. Love this band, hope to see them live one day.
I honestly think this sounds better than the album recording and I mean that in the best way possible. Amazing.
Performance was on point, guys. Shame you couldn't hit a real stage like you had planned, but this was awesome to watch. Hope Jack comes back strong once his thing is done.
Wow! I was a latecomer to the “Slice the Cake” party. Since then you guys have become one of my favorite bands with The Odyssey as one of my top three albums of all-time. Trying excited for you all and support all your old and new stuff!
2021 it’s 9:20 in the morning listening to a great band. I love metal core? Anyone else? 🤘🏼
Holy fucking shit words can't describe how happy I am you dudes are back. Can't wait for new material, I still blast everything back to 'The Man With No Face' regularly.
This was so damn good. You guys sound fantastic live. Now I want an entire live version of the album.
So good! One of my favorite bands, would love to see them live🤘🤯🤘. Please 🙏 put out another album.
That sneaky melodyne on the clean vocals 😂. Great performance all around
Jawdroppingly delicious. Deliciously jawdropping.
Absolute legends.
wow.... just wow. you're music is life changing
Best part of 2020, we missed you guys ;O
Theyre back 🤘🤘🤘
Found a new band to listen to! Absolutely incredible!
This is absolutely fantastic!!! It's so cool hearing these songs played live. Thank you for doing this!!
Can't stop listening to the new live album.
Great work guys.
I've got a mic on order on right now and am going to start doing vocal covers. Might take me a minute to get good enough at screaming and clean singing simultaneously, but I am going to cover this song eventually. This album is honestly one of the greatest pieces of art of any medium or genre to exist.
Oh yeah! You guys are back! Original vocalist Gareth too!
This Band is sooo Clear!!
Loved this! ❤ So happy to see you back guys, hope to listen to new material soon! 🤘
I believed and this is really happened, thank you for your music, you are incredible talented, you are legends just need let to people knew about it, gold masterpiece
Best thing that ever happened in my life
odyssey to the Gallows and odyssey to the west are my favorite albums and im dying to hear more from you guys please make a comeback!
Great work guys!
I literally just woke up with this stuck in my head and it's the first video in my feed. Today's gonna be good.
I’m always impressed with the harmonic progression if your songs, the technique, the ambience. You guys really know what your doing. Love every second of it! Do more of this and keep on pushing love you guys
I've been waiting years to see you guys play, absolutely gutted that we couldn't see you in person but this live gig was fuckin sick. Couldn't have been happier when you guys got back together, keep up the good work you underated legends!
Best band ever! Waiting for new stuff
The goosebumps come back. We missed you guys.
Thank you
omg my body wasn't ready for this :O
Outstanding wow wow wow
Y’all bring me to tears every time🤘🤘 love y’all
Kmac the legend, damn yall should collab :eyes:
We kinda did! Gareth appeared on the track INSIDE from Kmac's Imposter EP!
all just huge, thank you
Incredible performance, the vocals are insane. That you guys came back together was one of the best news for me this year! Keep up the good work!
Fucking incredible to see you all perform, have dearly missed you boys.
Bloody hell, that was epic!
this is gold
this is just too awesome, I have no words
Killer, so glad your back!
When can we get a drums playthrough of a song
Guess we should hassle Andrew to do a playthrough eh?
@@slicethecake I'm AAAALL about doing a playthrough for city of destruction.
@@andrewscott222 Fuck ya! Is there any chance you have sheet music? Some of the drum parts are a bit hard to work out purely by ear and it'd be nice to know if I'm doing some sections correctly or not.
Also, fantastic job on this set; you killed it!
@@Demonithese Andrew's been making his own arrangements for the songs. Maybe we can eventually hook the world up with his charts...
2020 is becoming better now
Vocals are insane!
The best band ever
I miss you guys
Sounds great guys \mm/
masterclass
Awesome job guyz!
This is so good it's ridiculous.
So damn good.
singing sounds kinda like chris cornell but more powerful, scream/growl range is amazing, and then you add in the spoken word element with some dope vocal improvisation throughout... if this is all you put out, it would be enough to get me through, but like please give us more?
Holy fuck, this is absolutely mental.
awesome!
Thank you! \m/
i love you guys. please keep making music
Damn this is impressive O.oi Kmac sent me - glad he did.
amazing
Vinyl of Odyssey please
Wow just wow 😳 🔥
Insane!
Why is the drummer - of all - wearing BKP merch? :D Really refreshing performance, glad to have discovered this via tech fest!
He plays guitar too! Check out his project Leviathan Owl, it's amazing stuff.
I forgot how good these songs were :0
Как всегда шедеврально!!
Omfg perfection!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking Masterpiece, keep it up guys. Hope to see the Westward Bound performance from you!
Beautyfull
So this is what you get when you cross Dream Theater, Bush, and Between the Buried and Me.
as above so beeee LOWWW!
So fucking good boys
Your music is amazing! It is one of the best album, that I have ever heard.
Sorry for my English. Привет из России.
We all are waiting for something new from you.
P.s. Yes, I wrote this also about your another video, but you are still amazing)
