[@TheLegendofGumby]

Nothing but respect for anyone who can play any instruments off this album.

[@fromthistexasbreath]

I had been playing guitar for more than 15 years and was disappointed that this album was so far out of my ability in my mid 20s. Then I buckled down and practiced almost every song off PD hard as FUCK for about a year and a half and became a better guitarist in that span of time than the previous 15. Turned me into a tech death guitarist for sure.

loved it, not a lot of guys have the confidence to post whole live shows front to back. Sounded good to me. Anybody who can hang in this band is a beast imo.

[@DissYraiN]

Me at this tour: Damn Aaron killed it with Interloper, sick finally seeing him live. Why's his kit still backline... Holy shit he's playing The Faceless set too? Holy shit he just played through Planetary Duality...

[@DissYraiN]

And Mike Caputo killed it with RoS. All of The Best Modern Technical Guitarists Alive's guitarists killed it for that matter...

[@NecessariusVerum]

Dude, I went to their Duality anniversary tour in SF a few months back and I was in the front row. There is no way I would be just standing there like that like this crowd. We were moshing so hard. I never had as much fun at a show in my life. YOU GUYS ROCK!

[@DOOMWRAITH44]

Love your work and love this this album!! Been playing Xenochrist as a warm up for about 6/7 years now, gets everything moving and gets you thinking about your flow and note placements. Keep killing it \m/

Absolutely insane. Hats off dude. Aside from how crazy good you rocked this, the live mix sounds phenomenal!

I think no one can play these parts than Lyle himself but Aaron did an awesome job! Holy shit!

[@salehhassan9524]

Lyle who made these part so he's the one who can play them

[@derreckossas4951]

Alex rudinger did it better EDIT: During Alex's time with The Faceless they played the Ancient Covenant 10 bpm slower that's why he didn't struggle during the blast run. Aaron is a badass it's just that he struggled at that blast part in ancient covenant. I think he can do it a lot better now lol.

[@ASDDrums]

Your work in Xenochrist is off the charts...especially the sick blast beats and double kick!!!!

[@P.dripps92]

I love your full explanation in the description of the camera and sound quality. I feel like no one does that and it’s much appreciated on my end. I hope to see you with the faceless in upcoming shows 2021 and on

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Damn! That's an awesome performance! I am too lazy to learn only one song from that album and you played the whole thing live - must have been a nightmare to memorize everything! I for sure couldn't have done it :D The only odd thing I observed is, that your left hand looks very uncomfortable playing faster blast beats - odd, because double bass and right hand seem to have no problem at all going fast.

[@Dgbmiz52]

I’m not really sure but I think he does a lot of gravity blasts on his Rings of Saturn albums with his left hand instead of traditional blasts.

[@failuretolaunchdrums]

Currently working on my left hand's wrist and finger speed too. Even if Aaron seemingly struggles a tad bit like the rest of us, he still killed this set!

[@erikbarrett85]

Yeah he did lots of gravity blasting in RoS. Wanja, love your videos. You and Lyle Cooper got me back on my drums a few years back. The video of Lyle playing Planetary Duality I and II, and all of your lessons

[@BurnTheNuance]

Wasn't expecting this at all but damn I'm glad you shared this. I was borderline obsessed with their first two records growing up and rather enjoy any playthrough from either one of those albums. And this one just so happens to be the "best" drum video for the faceless on the net hands down; well inn my opinion at least. Really enjoyed how you still kept your scaled down kit (not to mention how killer the kit sounds in general especially that snare). I bet after touring/writing with Rings (and Lope) that this feels pretty "tame" (in certain regards of course). Can't wait to watch this religiously, cheers.

[@buckfuttler2877]

Chason Westmoreland doing The Spiraling Void, bro.....

[@jakeywakey221]

Man better than lyles? Im sorry but i respectfully disagree. Only the man that wrote it plays it best. Many parts here aaron doesnt quite pull off or add any flavor to. Hes just laying the initial footprint here

God damn that snare is perfect. Fantastic playing as always. Sick/10

[@cristianbotiza3971]

I love Alex's level of skill especially on his playthrough of Xenochrist. And Lyle's videos are rad! Mesmerizing! However, your version is just as sick! I love your switching hands during blasts. That's insane ! Respect!

[@stianjstrand2402]

Well done! Perfectly executed doubles. I really enjoyed it.

[@thedruidzmademe666]

I dont think people realize how much time went into making this video, Aaron didnt have to make this but he spent most of that tour recording the shows and getting the board mix in order to give us something special. Its been 3 years and I can still remember when he uploaded it, its still amazing as ever.

Very tight! I love seeing a drummer absolutely killing it live. Pablo from Chelsea Grin is also a super tight live drummer even if the material isn’t as technical as this.

[@Demodude1234]

And he sings while playing. I've seen Chelsea Grin live and that one performance took them from a band that was okay in my eyes, to a band that is great. I listen to them all the time now. Definitely better live tho.

Recently I'm working on getting my BPM up. I struggle with 205+ bpm blast/skank beat and double bass. I have a new HUGE respect for the amount of time, sweat, blood and tears every extreme metal drummer has put into getting to such high lvls of bpm as 220+. I treat it as going to the gym, really. Great job man, cheers for uploading this. Sam
