[@LLCoolPeas]

serious amounts of practise and dedication! If you appreciate this sort of ability, check out Between the Buried and Me. They are incredible live and their performances are on point just like these... Quite different in style but have plenty of technical death metal in their sound and influences.

[@KY1KRR]

Agreed. Its crazy. I was just thinking about the bassist actually holds the whole sound scape together because if they just had a whatever bassist that was just there to support guitars archspire wouldnt be nearly as good without jared. I like how they were very inspired by the classical sound on this album too because the bassist really seems like a player from that era. Just nails it so well.

Bands like Archspire are the Formula 1 Racers of music. they are performing within the top 1% of their field. ELITE musicians.

[@ThoR52]

And more importantly they have interesting things so say musically. A shit choice of notes played very fast is still shit.

[@Xplora213]

@@ThoR52 I’m not hearing that interesting musical statement. Being a deathcore band is almost the opposite of an interesting musical statement. Quantisation much??

[@TheVaryox]

@@Xplora213 I don't know how you think they're a deathcore band, but whatever. Anyway, I find their pieces really engaging, they have great dynamics, interesting structure, moody chords, insane technicality, fantastic soundscape, they're really emotive, there's clearly thought to the played notes, not just mindless scale shredding over a very "whatever" riff - truly like nothing I've heard before. That's what I'd call making interesting musical statements. But if you don't find it interesting, that's ok, music is an individual experience. Personally, I find lots of other tech death super unengaging, because they just can't make me feel anything. And if they use a fretless bass, can't listen to that shit.

​@@Xplora213your comment is imedialtely invalid since your Second sentence

[@Xplora213]

@@DomiBlueShellz that which is asserted without evidence can be ignored without evidence. I don't give a damn about your opinion. I have given you a reason to give a damn about mine. Quantisation changes the ability of the musician to express an emotion - it makes it boring and uninteresting. That's why the music sucks. That's a reason. You might as well be a teenage AI bot. Sadly you haven't worked out that adults ignored you for this very reason.

[@demogis]

This is goals. Been playing for 25 years and this motivated me to level up. Best metal bass tone I've heard in a while (whole album kills). Bought a Kiesel Vader and darkglass pedal to emulate. Picked up the sheet music too. This is extremely difficult to play, but enjoying the challenge.

[@mrheavyduty3.0]

This band is the reason I had a kiesel 8 string built. Such a great challenge and even more rewarding to learn and play along

[@TomMusick]

I have become hopelessly addicted to Archspire, every time I listen to "Relentless Mutation" I notice something new and get goosebumps all over again. This CD has been in the stereo for about a month & I can't think of a single valid reason to swap it out for anything else.

please, don't bring the "pick vs fingers" into this. its bullshit

[@johnthomas9224]

Real bassists dont use a pick. Its called fingers. Plus if u want more bite in your tone theres a technique called double thumb and its not hard to get down. Anyway id love to see this guy do work with dominic lapointe or erland caspersen of spawn of possession, and say fuck geetars. Itd be quite entertaining.

[@genaroguerrero9228]

... wow, so imature

[@johnthomas9224]

Genaro Guerrero says a geetarist. Lol if you play bass with a pick, ud better be one hell of a player or youre just asking for ridicule. Anyone with formal training gets it. Picks on bass are sheerly cosmetic, lazy, and pointless. But more to the point, this guys playing is relentless and makes great choice of notation and articulating on runs and sweeps. Truly a master of technique and theory.

[@trackjunky3338]

lucid is and always will be my favourite album from these guys , but relentless is only a smidge from taking the title - all i can say is thanks for the tunes fellas kudos to you all

[@Ch69ad]

This guys has complete mastery of his instrument. It's beautiful to watch, he is completely relaxed and composed as he plays. When the video begins, he actually plucks his harmonics a bit hard and got some buzz. Immediately corrected and plucked some gorgeous notes perfectly. Stay sheding my man.

[@coltonpugh9669]

I just started learning this and I have to say, the way Jared splits his fingers on both hands up in the tapping run during the intro blows my mind. I would have never figured that out from looking at the tab alone.
