[@smuuggggg]

I shouldn’t be laughing so much

[@bukeksiansu2112]

The drum sound like old typewriter machine

[@foxmoulder7724]

so technical, i may have technically shit my pants

[@Kweesh]

That's called a technical foul

[@gavinjuge1961]

ayyyyyyyy

[@eatmyfishy]

After watching Dean teach his wife to play this stuff I appreciate it even more. I love this song because of that video! The melodies are amazing and when I first heard Archspire I thought they were more fast for the sake of being fast.

[@eatmyfishy]

And that fucking bass part! Absolutely amazing!

[@eatmyfishy]

lol and the drums!

[@Froffy_]

Archspires Next album is going to be like 600bpm and they will all have enhanced prosthetic limbs so they can play faster

[@jibcano1777]

bro they already have those

[@Nargaroth]

"And the music will be so fast only computers can listen to it.."

[@jackburton3149]

Personally I don't feel their stuff at 350 bpm or anything of the like, just half that with smaller values to fill the bars. Fast chord changes from bar to bar or within each bar is what really makes a fast tempo fast. If you want a real fast tempo, try Taraf de Haïdouks - Intoarcerea cailor magici (especially past 03:20). It's not metal, but still, I think you'll see the difference ;-) With all that said, I'm not saying Archspire's stuff is simple or slow mind you

[@spaceboy7413]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyniZmOnZyGf68 This is gonna have to be their new drummer.

[@jjs8426]

@@jackburton3149 I've always seen it as the Spencer is thinking in 300bpm and 350bpm depending on the song, while Dean and Tobi are thinking in 150 or 175. You are right but I do think that Spencer is thinking in 350.

[@owlbme]

I saw a guy wearing one of your shirts while grocery shopping. I asked him, "which band is that?" He replied it's a sick tech death band called Archspire and the vocalist is like tech n9ne speed. I told the man i am going to look this up when i get home. Now here i am at home, having an eargasm on my porcelain throne.

[@richmandoza3251]

God works in fun ways ;]

[@fizzysh4rk]

i, too, am having an eargasm on such a throne

[@cedrictruchon4151]

good thing youre already on the throne cause i was not when i first heard this and I shit myself

[@jjs8426]

Huh that rhymed, _nice_

[@francoisgagne3322]

Hahahaahahahahaaah

[@_misterwilly]

Top notch technique, riffing, composition, tone, mixing, musicianship... We are lucky to have you guys.

[@artificialplanet1540]

Tobi's picking technique (the one with a Kiesel Vader) is kinda weird, but clean nonetheless. They are fucking sick.

[@Borahkreth]

Didn't notice that, but yes, even weirder than Tosin Abasi. Waaaay weirder. But I can't play 10% of what he playes, so it's fine with me

[@pattocetamol]

Proper extreme pick angles.

[@Kerosian1]

I flip my pick like that too. Top of the thumb for fast alternate picking, side of the thumb for sweep picking. Its more ergonomic than it looks.

[@kevindelaere1386]

these guys plays the difficults techniques on guitar just like it's nothing xd and compose a song like this is very difficult if you play alone and they succeed to make the 2 guitar riffs fits perfectly to eachother

[@kylewipert11]

Tech death blows my mind. Especially when it is done by freakishly talented musicians. I love how they use a 7 and an 8 string guitar, yet make it seem normal. The riffs these two play simultaneously in completely different ways make the song sound massive. The creativity is phenomenal

[@devonboes2376]

This band and Beyond Creation blows my mind with how talented all of the musicians are.

[@shanepilgrim5802]

I've played(stillplay) metal since I was a young teen. Mostly the heavier,Darker,Evil- er side of the genre. I'm 50 now so I've got some road under me. These Fucks Make Me want to quit playing!!!! Im embarrassed at myself!!!! These guys are FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!! I can't believe I've Survived this long without these Artists. AMAZING!!!!!

[@footingball5566]

Yeah that's the best part in my opinion. They are pretty much all TOP TIER musicians. As much as I like metalcore, prog, classic death metal etc., tech death is the genre where you will find other bands that can perform like Meshuggah, especially live. I use Meshuggah as a gold standard for live performances and so far pretty much all I've seen of tech death has been FUCKING INSANE

[@ThatGuyOverThere010]

@@shanepilgrim5802 39 here, been in a few death metal bands and to be on the list (live) with this band i would shit my shorts quick, they are on another level

[@theabsentdeity]

Okay guys. WHERE'S THE BASS PLAYTHROUGH?! Loving this, but you've got a new bass player. He shreds. We wanna see it!

[@learningisgrowing]

Damn

[@ginodelavega752]

since one year ...

[@Archspiremetal]

2 years now! He wrote the entire new album with us :)

[@hasyimsyarif6453]

damn right !

[@samjack2360]

Agreed so when is there gonna be a bass playthrough cos i mean..like..fuck

[@chrisgreene8611]

apparently these dudes write everything together as a group. that's insane

[@berkeunal5773]

An extreme version of "writing together" is done by Ad Nauseam. They practice together and write their music throught this way for more than 20 years now :)

[@Wylie777]

Writing songs together is exactly how every band should do it. In my former band, that's how we did it and we got compliments all the time for how tight everything sounded. Transitions were smooth, breakdowns were fire, and crowds had a lot of fun.

[@nikolauswilliams3124]

My new favorite thing to do is sip wine and listen to Archspire

[@khaymanwelch9824]

Nikolaus Jones the correct drink is actually scotch.

[@mtchilcott]

He's a trend setter

[@DavidWoodMusic]

My dude

[@divinefallfromgrace]

I'd only agree to wine if it's the proper stuff. Same with whiskey. LSD is the ultimate musical listening assistance imbibment.😁

[@louiscrowley1755]

2 things about this after 100 watches over the years just killed me - in a good way. Toby's picking hand and Dean's little hands! I don't see how Toby doesn't cramp up in 5 seconds and the pick is at such an angle 80% of the time. Then Dean eliminated an excuse for us short fingered folk. Never will I cease to be impressed by these two.

[@bradleysmith9431]

Yeah I noticed that. And then that one guys fret hand arm, his elbow is by his side the whole time. Which is a common bad habit, but for this guy he makes it work. Just wonder how much faster he would be if he had correct arm position

[@Thrashmetalkicksass]

Technical...yet musically cohesive. Great

[@WillBallForSoup]

Mindblowingly technical. So many strong riffs in one song. I will 100% be buying the album.

[@strappinggermanlad]

Always admired their skill, this is the first time i admire their songwriting. This Band just jumped to the top of the techdeath game for me!

[@wyrmfireproductions7519]

Literally every member of your band is freaking super human. Amazing song.

[@albert.rw2]

insane as usual

[@heavenly2k]

It's insane how talented each individual musician is in this band

[@bakedspade]

This is one of the greatest tech death songs ever wrote. I love this band so fucking much and I'm glad to be alive to enjoy Relentless Mutation.

[@internetwarrior666]

These guys and Beneath The Massacre need to tour. My life would be complete.

[@Anthony-d5u7c]

Absolutely the best album ever made. Hands down. The story being told, the music matching the vocals there's nothing like it.

[@Azur_Filip]

Sounds like a hard insane boss battle theme !

[@Ginosphere]

This band just make my life better^^

Greatest climax to a song. I now need a wetwipe

the dedication to reach this mechanical proficiency is exciting/inspiring

[@datnillavondizzle]

Archspire is beyond tech-deth. Archspire is a new genre. Period.

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

The 147 dislikes are people that wish they could play like this. ARCHSPIRE!! FOREVER AND EVERY DAY.

[@willstanbury9725]

That fucking hybrid picking is insane. I don't think I've ever seen it applied in a metal guitar part before

[@raperepublicanwomentheysee1786]

Gorod...circa *2007* at least. They weren't doing it on 8 strings, so I'll give archspire a point for that

[@chr6s66]

I need a drum playthrough!

[@TheCoolPotatos]

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to play this song's drums lol

[@Feosta]

Lets challenge 66Samus

Watch this damn video everyday ... cant believe how easy it seems to be for them to play that when i have trouble learning metallica after 15 years xD

[@MattoCinema]

I've been playing guitar for 23 years. After getting into Progressive Tech Death bands like you guys, it made me realize how much I suck Lol. That's what I get for learning blues instead of shredding and tapping techniques. Lol

[@seejay17]

You prob dont suck. Just make your own music youd be surprised. Dare to be original my friend. Blues is incorporated in most this music

[@Benobot99]

The drums though! We'd all love to see a playthrough of the drums for this song too, and maybe bass as well! :)

[@XenoTravis]

God damn why are they so good at guitar.

[@Compendyum]

Yeah, like the drums/bass/vocals are just regular...

[@Pygmyer]

The video that makes you start and quit the guitar at the same time.

[@gavinwolbert2164]

Those are some beautiful guitars.

[@dudarino666]

Please more drum videos. Cool guitars and stuff. But that drummer is what keeps me coming back. I need to see more of him.

[@unhumanelastic]

@2:21 Love that pinky FLYING

[@jessebowles5632]

Headless guitars are genius because it gives you a perfectly good excuse to put your logo right by where everything is looking: the hands, not the headstock.

[@JiggingDjent]

I don't even have to buy the album and I could hear it all I want for free, but I'm not going to do that. I'm going to buy the album and probably some other merch too. Because Archspire deserves it. They've fucking earned it.
