They coulda dialed it up a little for the solos... the notes are just dying.

[@FvckYovrGod666]

exactly, they solo's are lackluster in the raw feel . yeah its clean but if they cranked some more distortion on those solos, it wouldve felt perfect

Surely that's in the spirit of the original? One of the things I liked about epitaph is how clean and clear the guitar tone is.

[@BeeBeeCJr]

“It was so hard I wanted to die.” That statement coming from, one of the best and most consistent drummers on KZbin sums up the level of composition this band had. It’s so insane to me that this material was and is SO influential to almost ALL technical metal without ever trying to be. And a lot of that came out of a 16 year old Suicmez. Congrats for pulling this off man. Your musical work ethic is CONSTANTLY inspiring to me and I appreciate the HOURS OF LIFE you have invested into your craft. It’s a shining example to us all.

[@joeyuzwa891]

wait, he was sixteen when he wrote this!?

[@Xenochrist]

Not Epitaph but the first album (which was still pretty influential), yeah he was really young.

[@KvltKrist]

It's amazing how young some musicians were when they wrote these unknowingly influential works of art. From Emperor, Mayhem, Necrophagist, to Sarcofago, Chopin, and Paganini, the influences, techniques, and evolution make it all so marvelous.

The fact that Necrophagist used to play this live 10% faster is hella insane.

Alex is the best rendition so far. My first Hannes show, I was lucky enough to see Necrophagist live with Hannes in Seattle 2007 for Summer Slaughter Tour, Studio 7 bar upper deck seats, face next to PA, amazing! I had learned to play only 2 of his songs, Stillborn One and Only Ashes Remain. Both off Epitaph. I also got hang out with Hannes after his show with Obscura , at El Corazon, Seattle cant remember the headliner, was it Wintersun?!?! We grabbed a table in the bar with my gf and each had a few beers, I told him I can play Stillborn One fluently and I am working on Only Ashe remains. He told me good choice and explained the double bass pattern for the pre chorus in Stillborn. He tapped on our bar table to show me the hand pattern. I already knew the song and had learned all the patterns, but sitting with Hannes..........I stfu and listened. Brilliant drummer that is my #1 favorite. I felt he was my friend when we said goodbye, cool guy. Double baste fast, then do chops on the snare. Meat.

@@leonardomuzzi3978 That's pretty awesome when you think about it. The other guys in the band must have reaĺly believed in him to bring him in the band if he was that fresh.

[@mmcofrisesagain2370]

What blows me away is how easy Necrophagist made it look live. You had a drummer who could blast like this consistently for a 45 minute plus set. What I love about this video is that you get to witness the insane technicality of the song, specifically everything the drums do in it. You can tell how much this drummer struggles to stay with it, but he rocks it on spot on. Like all other Necrophagist fans, I wish they'd release more / new material, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. So I'll just keep repeating their two releases hah. I'm always on the lookout for more tech death metal, but there won't be anyone like these guys. I'm glad there are many fans of the band. I stumbled across them by accident. I play them to my friends who appreciate music technicality. Though none of them like the vocals, they're always blown away by the music itself.

Grow up and don't take shit so damn seriously. Like he is really going to quite because Alex is better then him. If he's really like that he wouldn't have picked up those sticks in the first place.

Tom xenocrist - fuck yes matt wut da literal fuck.... Whitechapel is nursery rhymes compared to this

[@MattJFilms]

Oh absolutely man. I just mean't that back in the day he played much quicker stuff like Whitechapel, Conquering Dystopia, Obscura etc compared to his more recent stuff like Good Tiger. it was nice to see him come full circle to the quick stuff again like this song :D

[@doublecrossedswine112]

I read one of Alex's comments somewhere saying he enjoyed playing non-tech music too. Fair enough, he is a grown man with freedom, but I'm with you, I only bother with the show off type stuff. If you like Whitechapel that is 100% fine, I just thought you implying Whitechapel and Conquering Dystopia was more technical/faster than Necrophagist. LoL, so yeah I was like WTF!?!?! My bad. Conquering Dystopia is pretty badass though, true, true.

[@PrivasGuitar]

This fucking song... is immortal. Epitaph is a monumental achievement in technical metal as a whole; it's wildly surprising to see/hear a cover of it A: well done, B: independently recorded featuring real musicians playing real notes and C: LET ALONE in 2018.
