I would love to hear something heavy in a fromsoft game, like Dark souls or Elden ring. But at the same time the way they do their boss themes is amazing
@@RabeaMassaad Would be great to hear you play a hollowbody, your phrasing and touch. (From the guy in the brown leather jacket, who hugged you after the show, The Boston arms, Tufnell park, about 50 years ago), you were near the bar with band/friends. Top act. Wanted to ask you loads of questions about guitars, brighton, but was drunk and blown away for having briefly met after a tooth loosening show.
I'm about to present a design project in an hour and I was a little scared. This is the perfect energy I needed to see/hear. All those executives have no idea what they are walking into! LOL
@@andrewbailey7999 do yourself a favor and get the Mike mushock PRS se baritone. Cheaper but just as good if not better. Tons of pros use it for tracking as it really does so well in that regard.
Love the style, this raw energy always makes me put the "ugly grooving nasty face" we always get when we are vibing and enjoying the music. Keep rocking!
Bea, your riffs are deadass like coffee for me in the morning, the energy just wakes me right up. Ive been watching and listening to your stuff since I was 15, I’m now 21. You’ve been massively influential on my writing style, and I just wanted to say thanks man.
I've never, EVER, listened to a song and though, "this is it." Super impressed dude. 100 percent solid track. I've never knew a song could be this enjoyable.
Rabea! I have been playing guitar for the last 25 years. There were couple of moments when my jaw dropped and I kept replaying tune all over again. This is exactly that moment and I missed this feeling for years until now! Your new tune is perfect combination of raw energy and melody. You channeled something special - I am completely speechless! Now, getting back to listening to it once again :)
F...Christ Rabea....WTF....That first intro riff is the baddest I ever heard in my entire life (and I'm 54 years young🙂)...so sick...even surpasses my favorite 3rd riff from your riff wars 3 challenge video and also my "All time Heroes riffs" like Zakk, Dime Bag, WES B, Adam J (Tool)., Billy H (Perfect Circle), Mike T. (slipknot)~, Nuno, Vai, Ola I., John P. (dream theatre) , Eddie VH, Korn, Alice in C...just to name a few.... Ok I think I have to explain why this is the best riff ever to me...well. here goes... 1. The time signature of the beat leaves enough room and thus is perfect for emphasised FOCUS on brutal pounding and bouncing OF the riff 2. The riff has a huge variety (which can be overdone really fast) of technical elements (like solid straight and tight rhythmic chugs, bends, harmonics, questions and answers) but you managed to keep this plethora of technical elements in such a natural and logical flow while maintaining the main focus on the "Devastating Simplistic Brutal Bounce Groove that we all love " ...And that even without sounding too complicated, over thought or forced in any way...it just sounds natural,, easy and thus logical...but soooo F*cking brilliant, authentic and 'super hard tight banging, FLOWING AND SURPRISING"! I.M.O...THAT'S WHAT CREATES THE PIONEER MASTERS AMONG THE PUPILS! Woooowwww Rabea.....I'm Sooo happy to be able to recognize your "one of a kind unique distinctive signature style immediately" (I watch each and every video you post multiple times...and I also play Guitar for about 38 years)....I'm probably your biggest fan...but then again...who isn't?...Thanx so much for sharing your extremely talented passion with all of us around the world....Nothing more than endless Love for U Bro....I'm just from the Netherlands but I'm sure I can send U the Love U deserve from us all Xxxx!!!!!!
Holy shit bea!….. this literally sets my blood on fire, I have no idea what to do with myself, it like a adrenaline overload 🤣. Seriously tasty line in there man🤜
Please keep dropping these songs Bea, you're absolutely amazing! Your instrumentals are the best in the game imo, you know the importance of a good ol' chunky riff! 🙌
Man i really need to get my hands on a quad cortex. Thing sounds absolutely incredible, and with the tube shortages right now, it'd be comforting to know that I have my amps permanently saved on a digital device that replicates them nearly perfectly.
The riff at 2:05 is so mean, I love it !🤘🏻 I play the guitar for 13 years now and discovering Rabea years ago was a breath of fresh air. His riffs are so well constructed, smart, technical, original, but not « too much » so they keep this raw agressive bouncy feeling… You know, that feeling that give you the nasty face and inevitable headbang ! Keep the good work brother ! This song is in my top 3 of yours 💪🏻
Bea, I can't get enough of this jam..absolutely one of the heaviest comps I've heard in a while. Incredible phrasing. You are on top of your game for sure my man. Please, please, put your solo album out. I'll be the first to buy. Cheers from Texas.
Man, Bea, you're a real beast at times. and i have to admit, the energy of this is awesome. Long time not heard something comparable... Hope it makes it on some upcoming EP/album..
God DAMN it Bea! Some of the sickest riffing I've ever heard. I nearly broke the neck thats attached to my bald assed head while head banging to this. Astonishingly good.
God damn man, where did that come from?! Such an enjoyable track and the passion and pent up riffage really shines through! I need a full album of this style!
Any chance you could stop being so amazing?? Makes us mere mortals feel insignificant 😅 I joke! Keep up the incredible content dude,you inspire me so much I can't even express it! 🤘
You’re probably my favorite chord player, which is a hilarious compliment but you get great definition, notation. Especially in metal music, yours stands out over everyone else, to me personally. With that said, that main/outro riff is just headbanging absurdity. Killer track, Bea!
Everything Rabea plays is emotional and inspiring!! Whenever I feel my playing is lacking, I listen to his music and it pushes me to play and become better. Can’t wait to hear more new music!!!
That riff kicks major ass!!! The creation of new bad ass riffs still exists?!!! Hell yea Bea killing it my man!!!! Crushing it!!!! Keep it up and please keep feeding us!!!🔥🤘🏻💪🏻
Been thinking it a lot and I am just gonna say it: You should be hired for movie and game soundtracks. There is so much energy in your music, I can´t even begin to imagine it being put to a really intense scene - screens might catch fire and projectors might short circuit. And it´s not only the hard riffs, the atmosphere you create would just elevate everything else so much.
This just popped back up on my feed. Totally worth the revisit. Still pissed I didn't pick up one of those baritones when I had the chance. Such a cool guitar.
I need to take a shower after that filthyness!
I second that lol! Fucking filthy!!!!!!
All hail Rabea the Filthy, First of His Name, King of the Groove and the First Chugs, Lord of the Riffs, and Protector of good ass music.
Long may He reign.
And may all tremble in his presence...
Fear his chugging power 🤘🏻
When he tells women he can play Bleed they quiver
For He shall turn the nay sayers, the Unbelievers of The Riff, with every Hammer-on and Vibrato, to the TRUE POWER of the Riff. All rise to the King! I subscribe to thee!
This needs to be on a full solo album. This is the best new song I've heard in a long time.
Yes yes yes
Agreedd broo
Bump - can't see it on any current releases under this song name.
Sounds like an absolutely terrifying boss theme, you know the guy is gonna kick your ass when this starts playing.
I would love to hear something heavy in a fromsoft game, like Dark souls or Elden ring. But at the same time the way they do their boss themes is amazing
This should be Brock Lesnar's entrance theme

just gonna join the same thought train here
@@HeHateme-2012as tough as Brock is, he isn't tough enough for this filthiness. 😂😂😂
I'm about to present a design project in an hour and I was a little scared. This is the perfect energy I needed to see/hear. All those executives have no idea what they are walking into! LOL
Dude, destroy that project. You got it 🤘🏻
Good luck. Knock em dead.
Go get ‘em!
Just be careful. After that song, you're libel to walk in there... "Alright, listen up mother f*ckers...".
Its been an hour. How'd it go?
He's so creative with his rhythm and phrasing, it really sets him apart from most metal guitarists (that I listen to at least)
Agree
100%agree - his musicality is much more sophisticated than the others
As a guitarist myself, you can really tell you NEEDED to release that, your body was practically screaming to play this. 🤘
Exactly what I came here to say, you can tell this was just streaming out of him, barely able to keep it contained. Righteous man.
Lol cringe
@@DrDanka69 Much like your name dork. ❤️👌
@Terrin Peterson
I haven’t heard “dork” used in a while 😂😆
That opening riff kills me. Fucking dope man. You give hope to those who have dismissed modern metal including me. Great job.
AMEN BRO...AMEN🙏🙏🙏🤘
I'm grimacing with joyfull disgust rigth now. Awesome track Man!
Is there no end to the depths of your filth . . ? F*****G AWESOME !!!
Man, makes me want to get one of those Chapman beritones haha. Solid track as always Rabea
i own the ml1 modern baritone in graphite. its a absolute beast dude. worth every penny.
If at some point I get the money together to buy any electric guitar, it'd have to be a Rabea baritone!
thurst me im an GAS-Idiot and chapmans are the best
I've got the original Bea Baritone and it rocks. Fucking hard.
@@andrewbailey7999 do yourself a favor and get the Mike mushock PRS se baritone. Cheaper but just as good if not better. Tons of pros use it for tracking as it really does so well in that regard.

Chuuurrrrrist !!!
That breakdown starting at 2:05 has given me whiplash JUST GEEZ IT!!!!!
Man that bridge at 2:05, CRUSHING!!!! And leads so well back to the verse, Brilliant!!!!
Right? Love how even the drums give the riff room to breathe by the lack of kick drum beats. So dope.
@@joetobin-drummer5260 Me too, totally!! 🤘🏻🤙🏻
Bea, your riffs are deadass like coffee for me in the morning, the energy just wakes me right up. Ive been watching and listening to your stuff since I was 15, I’m now 21. You’ve been massively influential on my writing style, and I just wanted to say thanks man.
This is spectacular. Vision, talent and humility.
Shit that tone is NASTY good, love it. I am really looking forward to your next band project, hopefully similar to Toska 😄🙌
He should just go solo at this point.
@@matt926uk1 I believe he's doing something with some of the members of black peaks.
Love it Man!!
I love the fact that Rabea's playing is rhythmic first and foremost. My kind of guitarist.
No-one sounds like Rabea! AWESOME!
2:40-2:48 is the knarliest harmonic riff I've ever heard,very impressive 😂👌👌
I mean, COME ON! It's not even fair how good this is.
Love the arrangement. OMG! I wish I could write like this. Hats off to you, man.
Talk about a memorable riff. Listened to this in bed this morning, by the time I got up it's stuck in my head.
Rabea's positive enthusiasm is massively noteworthy. It's fresh!
Dude you are my favourite guitarist on RUclips. Balanced, groovy, wild, tight but always musically rich
I've never, EVER, listened to a song and though, "this is it." Super impressed dude. 100 percent solid track. I've never knew a song could be this enjoyable.
Dude you are literally the most underrated guitar player of all time, how are you not ultra famous!?!?!
Rabea! I have been playing guitar for the last 25 years. There were couple of moments when my jaw dropped and I kept replaying tune all over again. This is exactly that moment and I missed this feeling for years until now! Your new tune is perfect combination of raw energy and melody. You channeled something special - I am completely speechless! Now, getting back to listening to it once again :)
This man does not cease to fascinate and inspire me.
Sick. Just sick. I’m still shaking my head at how good that was man.
Not even a close second when it comes to style, groove, and dynamics....Wow, man.
Need this song on Spotify!!! Pleeeeeaaasseee!!! Love your songs, btw :)
Holy shit, that was some mean playin'. Surprise those strings didn't catch fire, holy smokes!
GIGANTIC! I get heavy Grinding Gears Vol. 2 vibes from this piece. Love your decisions on how you do Overdubs. Rock on dude!
Never been a fan of instrumental stuff but I do like the stuff you knock out of the park. 🤜🤛

Wow that blew me away! I’ll 100% be checking out more of your music. The way you break up ideas and phrases in your riffs is top notch
Check out his Grinding Gears albums (1-3) it's all this great riff writing.
That intro riff crawls along my spine in such an evil way.
And when you just sit on that harmonic at 2:40 . . .
Rabbea, I don't think I can give you an bigger compliment than telling you you make me want to pick up my guitar
Wow....that replaces my coffee in the morning....awesome!
Holy hand grenades, Batman! Absolute filth. So dirty I need to buy more Cillit Bang.
Genius…… trying to find a better word to describe this but can’t. Thank you!
Holy shit bea!….. this literally sets my blood on fire, I have no idea what to do with myself, it like a adrenaline overload 🤣. Seriously tasty line in there man🤜
Ooou god, I'm totally lost in love with this riff !! o my god that sound
Please keep dropping these songs Bea, you're absolutely amazing! Your instrumentals are the best in the game imo, you know the importance of a good ol' chunky riff! 🙌
G3... there you belong! Respect you a lot! Keep banging like that... 🙏🙏🙏
Crank up my Bose 801"s and introduce Rabea (Mad Finger) Massaad to the wild life here in Arkansas U.S.A. Rock on!!!!!!!!!
Man i really need to get my hands on a quad cortex. Thing sounds absolutely incredible, and with the tube shortages right now, it'd be comforting to know that I have my amps permanently saved on a digital device that replicates them nearly perfectly.

Holy hell the playing in this! wow.
Beast mode on! Hopefully on your next album? Keep’em coming!
I have listened to this tune.... so .... many times
so many layers of awesomeness!! Bass and drums were also on point!
Man, I need this shit to be released so I don't have to keep coming to RUclips to listen to it, lol. Such an amazing track.
Hell yeah! That mix slaps in all the right places, well done man!
This absolutely RIPS!!!! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Bloody hell! This is the best riff that has been composed in a very long time!! All musicians included. Well done Rabea!!
God Damn!!!! this is the type of thing Doom Guy would listen too when he wants to go heavy. Unreal as always
Man, Bea, you're a real beast at times. and i have to admit, the energy of this is awesome. Long time not heard something comparable... Hope it makes it on some upcoming EP/album..
so doity, its filthy! you rock man... dont ever ever ever stop doing this!!!
Those opening riffs are cool af, much like your ‘Does it Djent’ vx krakken demo vid, top work my man 🤘🏻🤘🏻
That was such an underrated track. Still puzzles me how it didn't make it to a Grinding gears EP
God DAMN it Bea! Some of the sickest riffing I've ever heard. I nearly broke the neck thats attached to my bald assed head while head banging to this. Astonishingly good.
God damn man, where did that come from?! Such an enjoyable track and the passion and pent up riffage really shines through!
I need a full album of this style!
Every now and then a certain harmony pops out that absolutely raise everything to another level.
Insane riffs and playing as always but that top is straight 🔥
If Satriani and Vai had a child….🤘🏻😬🤘🏻
Thanks for the music Bea…. Holy sh….. it’s great…. Just the right amount of filth…
I felt a slightly Satriani vibe in this
Also: this song is amazing!!
Rabea! We need this as a download! Can’t stop listening to it! Awesome man!😎🤘
That one slaps hard. Absolutely loving it.
That middle 8 riff hits so fu**ing hard. Impossible not to bobble my head.
Damn that Tele-style. Dude is FRESH !!!
This is epic dude, what an amazing new piece of music. MORE!!
That opening solo sounds very Åkerfeldt-y!
What a tune!
almost 6 months and still cant get over that intro. FML
That my friend is fucking huge!!! Loving those Marty Friedmanesque bends as well.
thank you sir much needed and deliscious, this song is running down my cheek... what?
It's been over a year and 2:47 still gets me through any tough day. Thanks Rabea ❤
Yeah dude, humanity needs a lot more of that right now. Seriously some of your best work.
I could listen to that on repeat for the rest of my life and be perfectly content.
Just WOW. 3 minutes 12 seconds of jaw dropping awesomeness!
Any chance you could stop being so amazing?? Makes us mere mortals feel insignificant 😅 I joke! Keep up the incredible content dude,you inspire me so much I can't even express it! 🤘
Yeah look... that was sick. Bea doin what he does best... Chonky riffs 🔥🔥🔥🦆
Opening riff reminded me of the first song from the original Grinding Gears EP, and that's a good thing. I loved the harmonics and dissonant tones.
You’re probably my favorite chord player, which is a hilarious compliment but you get great definition, notation. Especially in metal music, yours stands out over everyone else, to me personally. With that said, that main/outro riff is just headbanging absurdity. Killer track, Bea!
This song made me look up how to set a video to repeat on RUclips lol. Go off, Rabea!
That intro is an absolute NECK BREAKER 🤘
...also that Boston Dynamic Robot walking fits perfectly to this
Pretty freaking awesome Riffs!
I currently have this amp brother ,and can see by your settings that thing is breathing fire ! I’m a constant fan of your work Thanks
Everything Rabea plays is emotional and inspiring!! Whenever I feel my playing is lacking, I listen to his music and it pushes me to play and become better. Can’t wait to hear more new music!!!
Ughhh just what my day need was some nasty riffs!! Excellent sounds my dude!
Absolutlely crushing groove🎶
This is the best thing you've done, hot fire!
That riff kicks major ass!!! The creation of new bad ass riffs still exists?!!! Hell yea Bea killing it my man!!!! Crushing it!!!! Keep it up and please keep feeding us!!!🔥🤘🏻💪🏻

Man I love that single cut he's playing for the base track.
Savage tone; complex and satisfying composition. Excellent is too small a word.
The groove on this is just immense.
This just popped back up on my feed. Totally worth the revisit. Still pissed I didn't pick up one of those baritones when I had the chance. Such a cool guitar.
Go off Rabea!!! GIVE THE MAN SOME ROOM!!! *makes stank face throughout*
