it's insane to me how this guy just drops one of the most legendary prog metal albums in existence and then just vanishes into thin air. he's like a messiah to prog metal
Even in 2019, this is still such a distinct sound. I still pray for the second coming of Gru, lest his legacy be one incredible and criminally slept on album.
Same I’ve been checking back on him every year or so and can’t seem to find anything besides collaborations. It this point it’s become kind of an epic album. Maybe he should just let it be and release music under a different name...
Wladimir Putin yeah I’ve found some stuff here and there since this album was recorded but nothing solid unfortunately. That’s alright it’s perfect. One day maybe we’ll get more.
I ended up buying the album twice, so, at least with me your mission was a success. I posted it to a prog group on fB to some success - sadly a lot of people there are too stuck in the past.
in a moment, I feel this is dated. then, I feel, this is timeless. his phrasing makes this release stand way above. sure there are a lot of great players...but its writing and composition that we remember.......11 years later...a master class. thank you for the inspiration.
Piotrek Gruszka, you're a legend!! Please continue making beautiful music and being the creative genius that you are. I've been so inspired by this playing that I've begun the process of composing my own original music on guitar. Hopefully one day we can collaborate...that would be a dream come true!! \m/
Bill Collins Not so much Space Metal as Spacey Metal would be Wintersun. Especially that good ol' Time I album. Also, basically a one-man band, but exclusively on the composition end.
@@BetterCallThall Gotta be honest, started tabbing out Phanerozoic II when it came out and completely forgot about these tabs. Good thing most of Nebula was already done. I'm on it now. I'll keep you posted!
@@BetterCallThall Update: I uploaded the Nebula tab on UG. Will take a few days to clear probs. I uploaded it with an incomplete drum track, because tabbing that out is killing my will to live. I'll update when it's officially up.
I first discovered this album years ago when I was first discovering progressive instrumental metal. This album changed my life. I’m back in 2019 wanting a new Gru album soooo bad
And even in 2021 delta variant and all this album is still one of the best progressive rock albums of all time. Still go very far away in space in my mind when I plug this in my ear buds.
My god...this is amazing. This is one of the few full albums on youtube I've ever listened to all the way through. Usually I click out half way through because I'm like, okay, I get the point, moving on. But this.... I just...have no words for this. I need this. This would be the soundtrack to everything I do. I'd have someone follow me around and play it while I walk places and do things.
That´s how I discovered Gru ... Somewhere in this comment section is my two year old comment saying how well this goes with Starcraft. And today, I got to work in a gaming project revolving around a Starcraft themed game. I came to pay my respects !
Just writing to let all involved know I've been listening to this for several years and it still has magic....must be eternally great musicianship. This album always helps me clear my head in these times of chaos and turmoil. The world goes to hell, and this still rocks on. Thanx Gru.
It's 2016... Been hearing from three years... where are you, freaking GRU? Metal needs you! you are the only one who can save us of cover bands, the same dull music and Justin Bieber. Please, come back with mindblowing music like this album. Please.
Kinda appreciate that you capped this at 480p, gave me a reason to purchase the album! Wouldn't have found these guys if it weren't for your upload, thanks man.
This the perfect mix between my absolute favourite styles of music. This has never happened. I have nothing to say about this music. There are no words to adequately describe it. So I shant!
This album has recently served as the soundtrack of my life for the moment. The time that passes throuout tracks 5 - 7 is an extended eargasm in my opinion. Well done.
Ok, look, I listen to Scale The Summit, Animals As Leaders, Plini, Angel Vivaldi, Polyphia, Helix Nebula, Liquid Tension Experiment, Jason Richardson, and so many others, now, I ask that you take me to your leader, because, I had no clue this existed, nor Chimp Spanner, what else you got? I am Interested! I want more!
josh littlefield yes, and no. AAL is really talented, but they change tempos so quickly it's really hard for me to feel a groove with most of their stuff
@@erickbarragan4275 The "off-beats?" No, he was refering to the time-signature changes. 😂 Pure gold when someone who doesn't know what they're talking about tries to mockingly correct someone.
Arg, I'll admit, it was Gru that got me into Post Rock 3 years ago, and I haven't looked back since. But damn it, I hope someday He can make another album. Glad to see that he's still collaborating with other artists though!
Unreal man. I listened to this album back in 2012-2013 and when I swapped phones, this somehow didn't transfer over. Lately I've been getting back into writing prog songs again and I wanted to find this album to get some inspiration because all I remembered was that this was great. Sure enough, the gods have smiled upon me this day and I have reconnected with this glorious album. Thank you for spreading the Gru name on RUclips my good sir! You have easily made my day
This album blew my mind a decade ago and still does. What a fucking solid contribution to instrumental sci metal (only i call it that). Going a step farther, in learninf it by ear cause no tabs exist.. You realize even more how smooth this guy or girls style is I still have no name for the writer but damn son - this is THE fucking unappreciated win
Bad ass dude, i feel like this kind of vibrations are fitting well with the line of work you are in. must be sick to gaze through a high powered scope while hearing this audible chocolate resonate through your observatory.
the vibrations in this album leave me in astonishment, as i reflect on the mighty feelings that seem to rise up within the reservoir of my own immortal soul. A great vision and feeling of this planet becoming healthier, brighter, and stronger in the name of love and selflessness.

it's insane to me how this guy just drops one of the most legendary prog metal albums in existence and then just vanishes into thin air. he's like a messiah to prog metal
At least widek features him.
you weren't even around when it first came out then apparently lmao
Yup and that was already 12 yrs ago I think
.
I know man! Dropped a sick album and vanished!
Nah but like for real where the fuck did he go?
perhaps he found that minions movies were a much more lucrative business opportunity. that would explain his absence since this masterpiece
What makes this album so distinctive is that Gru knows exactly when to play less, and that's very special for modern prog
This... I'm not against 16th note parts but jesus do a lot of them sound like the same rehashed phrases.
The playing less is a great attribute. Some people still prefer to gravitate towards full blast speed. To each their own.
Has alot to do with his interests in Game Scoring (audio). This is fully conceptual music that just so happens to be designed by a Guitar virtuoso.

Always find myself returning to this every few months! That main Nebula riff always hits hard
seems we all once have a crush on it ...i love it still and hard... cosmogenesis is a masterpiece still i found it very atractin...
This is one of the first progressive metal albums I've heard....ruined me 😢
2020, still one of the best prog metal/ djent releases ever!
Magnific, just magnific
Damn right. Gru is a god
I discovered this music on marijuana, i went into Samadhi
Hi everyone, if you want more like this, I recommend 'Who Bit The Moon' by David Maxim Micic
Still coming back, and hoping for a return!!!
2024 and this still album is still kicking.
Even in 2019, this is still such a distinct sound. I still pray for the second coming of Gru, lest his legacy be one incredible and criminally slept on album.

Piotrek GRUSZKA is his name
This album is a spiritual journey through space and time and consciousness. It's nothing short of brilliant
Bonanza
Gru.... Awaken!!! Forget another album!!!! Open the year 2021 with a Live Performance!!!

I passed a link to this to someone who put it on his website: ArtRockHeaven.

Can't get enough love this work
It really never gets old, I discovered this when I was 16-17. I’m almost 29 now, this album will never leave me, it takes me to such heights
Forgetting you have this album saved and finding it is quiet the treat.
Nebula blows my mind, every single listen. This guy needs far more recognition.... And albums.
Found this randomly on RUclips right after it was released. This album is unprecedented!
Incredible.
I always pray that gru comes out with another album....love every minute of this album
Still exploring the universe with this masterpiece in 2023! Thumbs up if you're with me!
Piotrek Gruszka, you're a legend!! Please continue making beautiful music and being the creative genius that you are. I've been so inspired by this playing that I've begun the process of composing my own original music on guitar. Hopefully one day we can collaborate...that would be a dream come true!! \m/
The solos are out of this world! I badly want so much more out of this artist
Ah Gru....... a cruel God art thou.......torture us with your absence, as we slowly die without once more gazing upon your beauty......
2023 and still here!
Pure instrumentality. Beauty at it's most abstract form.
Nikhil G classical music did it long ago... just a thought
10 year reminder this is still fire
Still here! Timeless.
I'm still listening to this masterpiece
A pro guitarist said to me that what makes this so good as well is the mixing and mastering, I agree, this is top stuff.
Space metal.
no, space metal is "rings of saturn." look up their album dinjir!
Bill Collins Already did. It's riff salad shit. And their album is called Dingir.
Eric Essertaize to each their own. and whoops.
Bill Collins
Not so much Space Metal as Spacey Metal would be Wintersun. Especially that good ol' Time I album. Also, basically a one-man band, but exclusively on the composition end.
Screw those new tags and branches and whatnot. Let's just call it "good music" and be done with it.
I miss you Gru where are you and your music........ the universe needs you man, we all need your offerings brother
I've been tabbing out parts of Nebula and Andromeda and the level of craftsmanship in this album continues to astound me.
Got those tabs?
@@BetterCallThall Gotta be honest, started tabbing out Phanerozoic II when it came out and completely forgot about these tabs. Good thing most of Nebula was already done. I'm on it now. I'll keep you posted!

crazy that I listened to this when I was 12 and now I come back
This album just gets better with each listening!
how fuckin bout it man I've been chewing on it for about 14 months now still finding snare drum strokes in places I haven't noticed before haha.
I'll have what he's having
Holy shit this was magical.

And even in 2021 delta variant and all this album is still one of the best progressive rock albums of all time. Still go very far away in space in my mind when I plug this in my ear buds.
Brand new emotions were felt whilst listening to this absolute masterpiece.
one of the best instrumental albums ever made! such a fan!
This album is legendary
One of the best prog albums I've ever heard...fkn amazing
aurora... you have to be a special kind of human to be able to write something this beautiful. it's unreal.
In October this will be 10 years old. Here's hoping Gru decides to celebrate and release Cosmogenesis part II
My god...this is amazing. This is one of the few full albums on youtube I've ever listened to all the way through.

You know how fucking stupid you sound?
@@blind_surgeon Talk about self-incrimination. Is this how you view your mission in life? Making comments like this?
For some reason the artwork and music fits really well with the Starcraft series
yeah! it should be the soundtrack!
it does!!!
Totally. Reminds me a bit of Lexx OST too.
That´s how I discovered Gru ...
Somewhere in this comment section is my two year old comment saying how well this goes with Starcraft.
And today, I got to work in a gaming project revolving around a Starcraft themed game. I came to pay my respects !
Ah, glad to see more fans of both SC and awesome music here! ^__^ Totally agree with you.
Just writing to let all involved know I've been listening to this for several years and it still has magic....must be eternally great musicianship. This album always helps me clear my head in these times of chaos and turmoil. The world goes to hell, and this still rocks on. Thanx Gru.
Same here bro, always keep coming back to it
I've only read six comments so far and I'm already stoked for this AF being my first time listening.
Fam.
So how'd you find it?
He got lost in the sound. RIP

best thing I've heard in a while, totally addictive!
we miss you gru

This is absolutely amazing! I think this is the best instrumental album i have ever heard in my entire 21 years of life. Thank you ever so much Gru!
Aurora, possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever made!
100% true
And nebula❤
2023, still godlike. A timeless masterpiece
Unbelievable album, and is made by a single person. WOW

Hands down my favorite instrumental journey followed closely by Chimp Spanner's debut! Miss you Gru

I am Interested! I want more!
Ahhhh i love when you stumble upon something so wonderful that you didnt suspect you'd find this day.
Some believe Gru has left the planet bringing with him human emotions and thought to his galaxy only to comeback after a few hundered years
If that's true, it's a damn shame.
More artists like gru, Animals as Leaders, Polyphia, Intervals, Sean Hall, Chon, For people who want more great music.
josh littlefield yes, and no. AAL is really talented, but they change tempos so quickly it's really hard for me to feel a groove with most of their stuff
Steven Berkowitz What the fuck r u even talking about?😂 the tempo stays the same. it's the offbeats that make it sound like it's off tempo😂

Great tracks from Doctor Gru, reminds me of Buckethead a lot
Holy crap! This made my day - amazing! Intervals to this, i dig :)
Sigo viniendo la mayoría de los días a escuchar este disco, tan vigente como hace 10 años atrás
El mejor album de la historia del progresivo me atrevo a decir. No tiene sentido
whether you like metal or not, you havent lived until you have heard this. It speaks to the soul

Can't find anything remotely as good as this Cosmogenesis album here on RUclips. Please, release more stuff!!!
Devin Townsend!! Give him a shot??
Tried Intervals.. not quite like Gru. I'll check the other ones though
Obscura's Cosmogenesis
Try Sithu Aye, Widek and maybe Plini
Completely agree. There are bands that have excellent tracks but not a progressively djent the hell out of my face album like this one.
Been listening to this album since it was released, and I'll continue listening to it until I die. Would love to hear a new album though!
