Archspire - Seven Crowns and the Oblivion Chain Playthrough

[@BaronVonTomas]

I can't believe how amazing these guys are! Their musical prowess is unparalleled.

[@seenbelow]

Just scrolled through the comments section. Here's the summary: "Sounds like a series of exercises played to fast metronome" "Boring and Ibanez guitars have become WAY over priced" "Gee, I love typewriters as a drum track" "Send me a guitar and I'll write you guys real riffs." Sounds like we have composer, a drummer and 2 guitarists who think they are "better". You guys should form a band. This wasn't their best song in 2014 and they evolved a thousandfold since but damn if that movement at 3:22 doesn't get you pumped then you might have a defect.

[@Thrashmetalkicksass]

You forgot "people summing up comments" eheh. By the way I think this is still their best song and I liked lucid collective much more than their newer album

‘ThErE’s No FeEl!’, coming from guys who can barely strum a few barre chords simultaneously.

[@DemonstrativePronoun]

3:22 is why I love this song. Pure gold

[@adino20]

It kind of blows my mind that people like you get mad at negative comments

[@LeviJules]

Sick as all Hell! Hope to hear way more from these guys

[@thenewwoodsman]

YEAH TOBI! I used to work with that guy. Awesome dude. We had a lot of good laughs.

Thank you guys for existing

Today I think i finally got into Archspire. They are indeed hard to digest!

[@jernejfric4810]

Can we get a bass playthrough for this song?

[@littleShepherd1]

please do more. i love you guys

[@Guaguadeath]

This was absolutely fucking beautiful

[@Frosty4427]

If only I could play half as well as just one of them. Fucking awesome.

[@camwjohn95]

The usual issue with some of the most formally skilled tech-grind guitarists is their abusing their capacities to maximize the empty intensity of their noise. While these cats are playing a style that is inherently abrasive and indulgent, they know how it ought to be done. They're obviously killer soloists, but focus is squarely on making the constant arpeggios and time signature shifts flow through tight riffs and concentrated rhythms. The elegant chords, the precise fingering, the clean high notes, the harmony. There's finesse to their musical acrobatics, and if you can get past, or indeed love the divisive tone, this is truly something to behold. Take some notes, shredders, and learn how to write while you're learning to play.

[@operationmindfuck7145]

Bollocks. They want to create an extreme technical style and they have done it better than anyone i've seen. They are trying to push boundaries. Just enjoy it for what it is and stop think it's cool to be contrary.

Nice! These guys need to tour with spawn of possession!

[@jjs8426]

Bringthecowpants yes but they should headline

[@PaulKingMetal]

These guys are crazy. I wish I could play like them.👍

[@kevindelaere1386]

A band with a guitarist with 8 strings and use al off these strings is rare xd anyway you guys are the perfection in guitar playing

[@jakedemara139]

The most talented metal band I have ever heard 💯

[@anwonio]

brutal

[@ThiefOfTheSwell666]

This is solid gold.

[@Mykhthrone666]

Everybody is entitled to their opinions and personal taste but if you don't think these guys are amazing musicians you're stupid. Sorry. Typewriter as a drum track? You know nothing. Give it a try yourself and see how you do. I dare you. Just saw these guys play this past Sunday night with Beyond Creation and Obscura. Probably the best concert and most amazing display of musical skill I have ever witnessed in over 20 years of going to metal concerts. \m/_(-_-)_\m/

[@braxtonfps3580]

You can't go from saying everyone is entitled to their opinion and then call them stupid if they dont think these guys are good

[@fernandalmfl]

Nice! Upload more!!

[@benjaminrapp7418]

Not exactly my favorite genre of metal, but holy crap you are guys are sick! Nothing but respect. It takes an insane amount of dedication and talent to develop that kind of skill.

[@Mar7one]

These dudes are jamming!

[@Phantus00]

Mozart's of metal.

[@NeedsMorePinchHarmonics]

This is a sick song dude it’s insannnne

[@wait666bleed]

4:59 I wish I could see what he does to make that note fly away like that at the end

[@yellowsaurus4895]

It's just a pinch harmonic

[@operationmindfuck7145]

It's like One Archspire song has as many notes as all he songs I currently know.

That 3:25 tho

So much better without the vocals 💯

[@yotubebossbossproduc]

Is this supposed to music to enjoy... Or a typewriter and drum simulator?

[@sqlb3rn]

I am unimpressed with all these "playthroughs" lately that are just pretending to play over the studio backing track

[@w1984t]

We should all hope to "pretend" with that much skill and precision. I'm sure the world would get a good laugh out of what passes for impressive to someone like you.

[@sqlb3rn]

@@w1984t a child playing Mary had a little lamb on a kazoo is more impressive than some fake ass pretend bullshit.

[@GravelordNEETo]

@@sqlb3rn Sounds nothing like the studio track. Tones and mixing are completely different, you’re talking out of your ass.

[@sqlb3rn]

@@GravelordNEETo sounds exactly like a studio track, about as edited and quantized as it gets. just because it's not the mix on the album doesn't mean it's an authentic playthrough. keep smoking crack, magic tricks are more fun when you believe they're real.

Glen Meye I actually like it nice poppy snare.

[@jjs8426]

Anthony Haller same I like a nice ping. My favorite snare is a piccolo snare my personal preference. I absolutely love archspire so emotional and inspirational, to me they are a standard of metal and Mozart would be pleased :)

[@damonstewart70]

Boring and Ibanez guitars have become WAY over priced......go Ltd

[@thebloodychord]

Subjective opinion is subjective.

[@damonstewart70]

Truth is truth,Ibanez has become too gimmicky with special toy effects built into guitars & stuff.....I have some 20 yr old rg's & s series models but the last 5 yrs they've been slacking.My 20 yr old rg has a wizard 2 neck & they say the new ones do too but they are definitely not the same specs.The neck specs of the old rg are premium now.....rip off

[@99shredder]

Watch the scream feeding play through and you'll see the new guitars!!!! NOT ibanez!

[@onuj469]

Ibanez, why can't you endorse someone good. Send me a guitar and I'll write you guys real riffs.

[@onuj469]

+Dystopia1980 been there done that, played music that involved much more intricacy and attention to detail. You could not possibly fathom the level of dexterity and creativity which became my standard. Welcome to the internet you piece of shit. We've been out here cuz.

Standard

[@somerandomarmydude]

***** Okay so BEADgbe and FBEADgbe?

[@sixmix1210]

Anthony Haller One guitarist uses a seven and the other an eight, but they don't play the f string.

[@God666Seed]

for what does he need 8 strings then?

[@BrandonofRedemption]

He is clearly playing the 8th string and it's tuned to an F# if it's standard tuning.
