One of those drummers who have developed their own, easily recognizable style, without overplaying, with the dramaturgy of the song, with cymbals parts often creating an additional melodic line

[@kaozdrums]

That backbeat during the chorus always makes me goosebumps. Darkside is a cymbal magician. Also his drumming creating huge tension from the beggining of the song, love it! About the masks. As it was stated by Mgła's frontman: "One of key approaches within Mgła is removal of aspects that we consider unnecessary. In this case, it is ourselves as individuals. The use of masks is an attempt to get rid of the rock n’ roll heritage of musicians being “idols” or “heroes”. Instead, Mgła live is an unit, where “who does what” is of little relevance.”

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

5:41 They are against celebrity worshiping crap etc. They are all about music. M. (Mgła leader) explained it in some interview : - We wear hoodies and leather jackets, effectively making us indistinguishable from 90 percent of the audience - the only difference is that our faces are draped. We seek uniformity to remove the ego of our person, leaving nothing but a vessel - a tool. On stage we’re not individuals, we are a unit.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Wow Steve! Love it

[@doctajuice]

It's so cool how he finds a way to fill every little space with something. Keeping the back beat consistent through all those paradiddle inversions is crazy as hell too. Big respect to such a unique approach to black metal drumming.

Hi.. Song is called Exercises in Futility V (as five). Brutal Assault is a festival in Czech Republic. I was on this particular show. Imagine crowd of 20 000 people watching the podium, not making a single sound, not dancing, moshing or anything just watching and listening. I had to move to the exit by the last minute of this song and after the whole show (about 1 hour) i noticed how eerie the atmosphere on the concert really was.

Hope you liked it. For me this is one of - if not the best - metal albums to come out in the last decade. Ive probably spun this album a thousand times by now, but Ive personally never had the chance to see them live, nor have I watched them play in a video til today. To me its super cool to see him chain the cymbal hits together that quickly and intricately by being comfortable enough to swap hands for snare hits. I love how that cymbal play really just grabs me and pulls me along during the relentless grind that is this album.

[@kleepo7733]

Definitely one of my favorites and I watch it quite often such a very solid tempo while Cymbol work is quite tasteful and precise. Just enough without overplaying. Looks like he's using fairly long sticks? Have to agree with your comments. Nice observations. 👍

It might look like hes gripping high on the stick because he's using longer sticks. A lot of death and black metal drummers use heavier, longer sticks as they have more momentum for things like blasts. Lets you relax a bit more while you're playing as counter-intuitive as it sounds.

I'm gonna throw this out there. This music is so huge, epic, with such space and emotion and personal focus, I want to write a "musical" with this type of music. Not a typical happy musical, not a campy funny "scary" musical but one that deals with real themes of darkness, hopelessness, betrayal, war. I listened to a lot of music on deployment from a portable cd player. Lamb of God was the music of my time spent in Fallujah, and this music speaks lyrically and musically in a way no other form can touch. If someone can put one together, send me venue info.

Perhaps a bit too late but a few Polish bands wear face-coverings to remain anonymous while performing songs regarding certain topics. Black metal is inherently a controversial genre and seeks to talk about the unspeakable. MGLA's nihilistic (truly anti-nihilistic) and misanthropic messages are in throws with the Polish Catholic government which has attempted to persecute bands such as Behemoth and the Polish MSM has attempted to shut down venues of bands such as Marduk (falsely believed to be Nationalist Socialist because of creating songs regarding the German side of the Second World War). Enjoyed the video mate, cheers!

WOW! Amazing info!

Great reactions, and nice to hear bands I haven't heard before. Those snare hits in the outro part where out of this world. Since you like reacting to metal drummers, you might want to check out Ken Bedene from Aborted. Something like Divine Impediment drum cam from Czech Reb 2018. I'm sure someone from your Patreon will suggest it eventually anyway. Greetings from literally the other side of the world.

Hope to get to it!

React to "ABORTED@Necrotic Manifesto-Ken Bedene-live in Brutal Assault 2016 (Drum Cam)" One of the best extreme metal drummers Cheers!

best song from mgla - allways reminds me to a man in the winter, walking, comes into a snowstorm, get into wilderness, figthing through snow and then get pirced by ice cracks and freezes to death

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

WOW!

Please do anything by Lord Marco! If you're really digging the technical metal drums, he has his own KZbin channel. I recommend: Hunhau Mitnal- "Creador y Formador". He does it blind folded with no triggers

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Oh my God yes. That song or Chain of command/oppression or bleak flesh unique Cosmic inaccuracy

[@kraterkop]

Yes we need Lord Marco here!
