[@NikNocturnal]

*Ahh, good old 0000's* Comment down below what you want to see me cover next!

[@FabulousKilljoy]

“Landmine” by Polaris

[@gsgreens6373]

I really want to see you do "ruin" by Lamb of God. 🤘

[@oernsen8131]

cursing akhenaten by the great After the Burial... Fuck yesssssss

[@kwinkzpower]

All Shall Perish - Day Of Justice!

[@matthewroman5520]

New Silent Planet song

[@scottmaillet9775]

This has been my warmup song for like 14 years. Allegiance era ABRB had some sick riffs

[@Arazmithin]

Hahaha, same this was so fun to play when first learning metal/ect. Stopped for three years and relearning this again right away. This cover came out just in time. lol

[@siktz]

I've always played the triplets with alternate picking. Is this the way you learned it back in the day? I remember watching them play it in KZbin back in the day and the alternate picked most of it. Nik seems to play it with down picked

[@Arazmithin]

@@siktz I alternate pick the triplets too, but I'm not good enough/fast enough to down pick things Nick and others can. =P

[@probasteelchiquitoahorapro1490]

@@siktz excuse me, which part are you talking about?

[@tomsxe]

Probaste el chiquito, ahora probá el grandote 0:09, las 4 primeras notas, las hace todas para abajo, y bueno en general todas en adelante

[@metallifan561991]

this whole album is such a masterpiece!! Love old ABRB!!

[@brivet5049]

Oh yes

[@doomzy8622]

Same!!!

[@Megaalith]

Wish they were still together, one of the best bands I've ever seen live and I saw Black Dahlia 3x

[@metallifan561991]

@@Megaalith I never got the chance to see them live, unfortunately

[@mattkemerait]

Objectively some of the sickest riffs ever written. No matter how many times I play this when I get to "No one is setting a path for us to follow..." I feel like tearing my f*cking house down. In a good way.

[@yuvalw7543]

As if tearing your house down to metal is ever bad...

[@NivanSharma]

2:04 for the best face ever

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Absolutely brutal, Nik. Amazing job on the cover. Mad props too.

[@bre4kd0wn1]

Okay. Okay, okay, you are EVEN here! Are you everywhere? Or am I also everywhere?

[@maximilianosantana5696]

Its great to know Drop C sounds this sick

[@Felix54Z705]

I miss this band, there first two albums are some of my all time favorites.

[@skullyozeez6781]

Ct Saints seconded

[@katatonic5672]

they've been thinking about either coming back or just calling it quits, they made that post in 2016 so it's probably not gonna happen but they shared this cover so it could still happen.

[@AnthonyWabo]

ALLEGIANCE, my favorite deathcore album of all times. I can jam it from start to finish in one sitting even today! ABRB are missed :(

[@PearlDrummerFTW]

They're making new music my dude.

[@AnthonyWabo]

@@PearlDrummerFTW saw the update, fxck yeah, hopefully they stay around for longer this time

[@PearlDrummerFTW]

@@AnthonyWabo Yeah maybe but even if they only release a short album I'll be happy. The song they had on demo sounded pretty good. Hasn't become a classic yet but I'm sure it will in due time. Not many bands make music like this anymore.

[@Big_Giant_Ben]

Bro same. I say this all the time. Allegiance is a right of passage for the deathcore genre, so fucking good!!!

[@mowglig9382]

Every time baby!

[@Newlybear]

Man I haven't heard this in so long! These guys were way too good and underrated!

[@NodSquad]

You've earned a shit ton of awesome points for covering this song. best deathcore band in history.

[@AntronxE]

Wow! Didn't expect to see this cover from you, in 2020 no less! I love it! If we're going back in time, Gimme some Funeral Thirst or Knee Deep. You know what I'm talking about!

[@Monitionmetal]

Ow yeah, funeral thirst please!!!

[@gabbygabby6910]

WOW good taste sir funeral thirst by TBDM Unhallowed year 2003 album classic . Knee Deep from JFAC ?? Classic . I was only 13 when i started to discover all these songs

[@MateoOrtiz-Sntcds]

That's the fifth time I see this beatiful cover and the best of all the As blood runs black cover I've seen in youtube. When My fears have become phobia NIK!!!

[@dethkok3869]

This is the first song I learned on guitar and it's funny because I've learned so many songs that I usually forget in a months time but this one will ALWAYS be remembered

[@TheJessovski]

one of my favourite songs to shred since i was a teenager, ahhhh i feel old. love your shit Nik ty for the throwback inspiration mate.

[@synyska]

tried getting a friend to listen to this, and all he could say was "how can you listen to this, theres no skills in this, just a bunch of random strings plucked on a guitar" I now question our friendship.

[@mobilemetal4554]

synyska that or you get... they just scream. That takes no talent.

[@jjeoy]

you don't need people like that in your life.

[@billyturk8117]

You need new friends man you dont need that kind of negativity

[@cinforammi8543]

Don't question the friendship question how you ever became friends in the first place.

[@qerzuk]

wow, impressive how thew band stayed in the key of c minor while randomly plucking strings. That's true talent.

[@deckofdecks2633]

ABRB The granddaddy's of deathcore! sick cover man.

[@HiThereFaceHere]

The nostalgia is almost too much. I had every high school memory rush through my brain

[@elecscp]

So good to find people who are not half-assing their content just because making videos is relatively easy. You are awesome! The playlist say you've made 493 videos... FOUR HUNDRED NINETY THREE... jesus f.. much respect dude, you totally deserve the support.

[@lewisbean4250]

Melodic deathcore was such a sound

[@armanpgrigorian]

The riffs are so fun on this one. Especially when you get to bring that ruckus. Also, do you use Guitar Pro for those on screen tabs? If so, how do you get it to be transparent like that?

[@CristianKirk]

I'm pretty sure you just need to color invert the layer/track (depending on what editing software you use).

[@armanpgrigorian]

CristianKirk Ah I see, ill look into that, thanks

[@taylorwhitman6015]

Just jammed this whole song with this video since ive known it for 10 plus year, except you taught me a few things i didnt know. Thanks for the video bro!

[@itzDrexzyyy]

Love this song, I play intro-in dying days-my fears become phobias-Hester prynne every day to warm up for or end my jam/practice session, have done for many many many years lol. Some tracks from triumph are fun too, like resist in honour and echoes of an era, echoes is so much fun to play, you should do a vid of that one that’d be good to see 👍

[@brootal5435]

same here!!!

[@Megaalith]

I warm up to ABRB as well, then I try to play Instinct then I move on cause I can't do Dan's lead part.

[@itzDrexzyyy]

@@Megaalith yeah dans parts can be brutal in some of the songs lol, i havent played echoes of an era in ages and now its like hand torcher lmao , spent to much time away from the geeeetar , may have to start playin it more lol

[@NivanSharma]

Haven’t watched the video yet but i know I’m gonna love this!🤘🏼🎸

[@M3tal_matt]

This song takes me back man 🤘

[@SteelKicker01]

For anyone wanting to learn the riff at 3:20 its at 150BPM not 140BPM as said on the TAB. Took me WAY to long to figure this out in Reaper lmao.

[@malcolmvincechaucostales7845]

Love this song since i first heard As Blood Runs Black ! This was one of the catchiest songs ever🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@FortniteMomLive]

I was JUST LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM YESTERDAY OMG!

[@TheDreamCatchers]

Fortnite Mom i hadnt listened to this in 2 years, listened to the first time yesterday and saw this today, so crazy

[@carlmarker9257]

man when i was 16 id watch the offical playthrough soooo much it blew my mind i was just starting to play and i thought i was witnessing the apex of technicality this album along with all the other metalcore basics were my life dawg

[@DJ-pp4mt]

Dude! I remember this from high school. I used to jam this album, and play along with this song. Great choice man!!

[@jf7231]

First song my buddy and I learnt to play all those years ago, sick cover!

[@CptnCrunchberry]

Okay, now cover the rest of Allegiance! Because, that album is flawless.

[@DerrykWithaY]

This entire album slaps TO THIS DAY

[@TheDankTaco]

Damn straight!!!

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

holy shit man this song is so damn technical, especially for such a new band from way back then at the time

[@TheDreamCatchers]

Been waiting for this for so long, probably the first truly heavy song I ever listened too, underrated deathcore 🔥🤘

[@ivanchavez3711]

This is imo the best metalcore album. Every song is a banger

[@billyturk8117]

This CD has been in my car CD player for years. I listen to it randomly just happened to listen to it last night lol

[@hackaustinn]

one of my favorite songs i ever learned on guitar hell yeah i got to see them live with prakway when they first came about and it was my first concert ever ill never forget it

[@godvandamme9921]

Awesome job! I use to rock this album all day at work

[@Slayd2Pieces]

finally got it all learned, started yesterday and gotta say this song is about as fun to play as Pray for Plagues was for me, 10/10 new fav song to play and just jam too.

[@MusicWorldKaraoke]

Great job buddy! Greetings from Barcelona 👍👍

[@niquo3116]

somebody just paid me on fiverr to play this song on drums. I've done the whole thing without having any idea it was a real song and I was like "damn the song is pretty cool" lmao

[@JayReau]

Dude one of the best bands of the 08' metal scene. Thanks for bringing back the classics

[@Fleeto27]

I've loved this song for years for the drums...... Just wateched you play this and wow! 😲

[@blairthomastoews]

That was really awesome man.

[@matthewflores4941]

ABRB could have been so much bigger if they kept the drama out of the band. They should as big as Whitechapel. What a missed opportunity, obv sickkkkkk cover.

[@cult2]

what drama?

[@thecrazzxz3383]

@@cult2 what drama ?

[@Vinnie-Venom]

Bro this is such an underrated comment, I managed to make friends with Nick on MySpace back in the day he was the bass player. Super chill guy super cool, I just don't know what was going on with Leche the drummer there was just so much drama there, oh yeah and with the vocalist

[@Vinnie-Venom]

​@@cult2man there was all kind of drama unfortunately with this band, it was mainly with the vocalist and the drummer.

[@fklr-369]

Yes dude you got it everything on point!! I'm 100% sure you learned this by ear it's so beautiful note by note by man.

[@aweblasome3715]

OMG THANK YOUU I LOVE THIS SONGGGG

[@duckyoutube6318]

This song is easy to learn but hard to play. The bliss after you get just the rhythm and notes down....however, when you land that first pinch harmonic.... so good.

[@jc8liter2388]

Takes me back to the FPE couch

[@MarcoFerlito]

I'm used to listen to Allegiance during running session xD... Old school \m/

[@davidmolina9203]

Soy baterísta con 9 años de experiencia... Recién comencé a tocar guitarra y carajo vaya que es ultra complicado, es muchísima tecnica!!! Mis respetos a los buenos guitarristas.

Wow, I've never heard this band (and song) before. Thank u for introducing me, i'll give them a shot because god damn this was brutal. U did an awesome jod as always.

Jeah!!!! Did a guitar and vocal cover to this couple weeks ago! Glad to see more jamming to this classic 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@TheAceOfOnes]

One of the OG metalcore songs I fell in love with / got me into the genre hell yeah!

[@nuzabe9054]

This came out in 2006 no metal core band in that era sounded like this, this is death core. They wish they sounded like this lol.

[@TheJohnnee]

At the Gates riffs sound so good in drop C and with a little bit of Cannibal Corpse influence.

[@taylorgeisser420]

A never-ending search for closure, conducting from the grave

[@Earth-Worm-Tim]

Had I not been a subscriber I’d of never even heard this song. There is a musical gap for me from 2000-2008 while I running combat ops in the corps. However, it isn’t completely lost; I discovered In Flames in a record store in Slovenia back in 2002. I bought the live in Tokyo CD (among others) and HOLY SHIT 🤘🏼
