400 BPM DEATH METAL?!? Dean Watches Archspire Covers on Youtube

[@DeanLamb]

The number of likes on this comment = the BPM of the next Archspire song we write.

[@DeanLamb]

Looks like it's gonna be a pretty slow song...

[@Robinnor]

Drone :)

[@JMetalGuitarist]

A whole new realm of challenge presents itself. 37 bpm tech death, go!

[@JMetalGuitarist]

There, I made it 38 just so you can have a good even number.

[@LouTVonly]

Wait! Let's make some further youtube accounts so we get at least 120 or so... :-D

Computer metal. It's crazy to see the direction metal has gone with a lot of guitarists sitting at home on their computers writing riffs and songs. I fucking dig it. I'm an old school player that didn't have any of this amazing technology when I was first learning, I had to pause and rewind tapes and CD's. Music has grown so much, specially metal and I'm glad I can be here and still learn new methods every day.

Some time ago Kevin uploaded a video explaining he didn't want to be known as a KZbinr who does covers. He probably hid his content for that reason.

[@zacharyconrad8804]

I get harmonics like playing with no pick, I hit the string with my thumb while having my pointer finger arched at the string in a way that allows my to brush the string with my pointer immediatly after thumbing the string. I realized playing with no pick allows a more natural expression come from your hands. I played bass for years before guitar so it was very natural for me but I feel everyone should play just useing there hands when they ppractice, it gives you a powerful second look at everything you write. Hope I could help!

[@johnw5734]

So when you guys perform this material live is it possible for the audience to hear the detail in the riffs at high volumes? I'm blown away by your technical ability. Rock on.
