[@kermheat]

great sound !!

[@LevitatedSinep]

Sumerian artists should do this more often!

[@jakediertay4711]

These guys were so absurdly good. Still wails in 2022

[@chiefsmackahoe777]

Great stuff! I think I like this instrumental better than the original.

[@Sairos-Plays]

same here glad im not the only one

[@grbgeslnger24]

Yup

[@djentlee9064]

I'm glad I randomly clicked on this video I usually never like bands i've never heard of but this was really damn good

[@Mason121127]

me too. rock on my metal brother.

[@wilkinsos]

Same here

[@JoeLawMusic]

How do you expect to discover new bands to listen to with that attitude? Not trying to be mean. Just a question.

[@djentlee9064]

***** Good question, the only time I discover bands I like is randomly like this, whenever I start looking I just get dissapointed most of the time

[@jackkettles999]

That Guitar is Beautiful.

[@lnfester]

so awesome!

[@necrophagist00]

Nice work boys

[@wilkinsos]

AWESOME

[@bvbsoldier99]

Now I want an instrumental version of the album.

[@mrluka551]

This is amazing !!!

[@daymiengold5414]

fuckingg yess!!!! now you guys need a tab video and what tuning do you guys play in

[@wolfeyp1711]

Drop A#

[@ryancurfman]

I used to have a Jim Root telecaster just like he's playing... black with the black pickguard and everything! makes me wish i never sold it

[@HuPatibulo]

I must say all your instrumental works are masterpieces. I think that if you wouldn't play with a singer you would win a LOT more.

[@GodOnABreak]

That breakdown at 3:00 is almost a spot on steal from TDWP

[@KY1KRR]

haha yes the zombie ep I gotchu

[@GTAPanos]

That's what I thought. I immediately thought of Outnumbered

[@WuKingdom1]

Oh wow...I never realized that and I heard Outnumbered live...

[@adamfnandf]

It is almost the exact same pattern, but to be fair, I've heard patterns extremely similar to this and the one in Outnumbered in other songs. There are really only so many patterns you can make with open chugs.

[@cmonsterz]

I definitely dig this. FNA!

[@xFatalxGrizzly]

Can definetly hear the TOTA - Charmer influence soooo sick!

[@iAmDiBBz]

That verse Rift :O

[@dandreamdrums]

WOW i love this song lml

[@ZachShaw]

Dude this is my jam. Makes me wanna be a kickass frontman, or somethin

[@DeafSprungoffical]

this song is difficult but ill get it down.love the way it sounds

[@DiegoP81]

im in love

[@mhabilliginzulfahris1362]

Karen euy, ngagitar na bisaan, sae lah kang diajar na dimana eta teh kang

[@lTimeStandsStill]

I want that telecaster. Is it the Jim Root edition?

[@davydoomz]

What scale length is that Tele, looks looong!?

[@esquipulaarchuletta5800]

25.5 but it only has 22 frets.

damn just randomly decided to watch this. pretty damn good might go try to find an album to download aha

[@giwrgos1349]

perfect

[@epicfunniezsa123]

song is sick as fuck. love city in the sea

[@xHOUNDofANUBISx]

pretty fuckin sick fretwork! definitely am a fan of this band now(:

[@dmitryoksen8701]

[@TheArcTangente]

Insane lead

[@Spencerthepoet]

They need to release the whole album instrumental!

[@artiombist1486]

[@neils68]

Artiom Kostykevich 000000010000000000000001000000001000000 rinse repeat.

[@ixPeekABooBix]

[@wolfeyp1711]

[@patrickjordan5987]

[@darkerium75]

the best in the world seymour duncan

[@Texasmonster10]

Yeah, what's the tuning my dudes? I wanna learn that verse riff! So badass.

[@TheLeagueoffailure]

from the sound of it, i think its a half step down from drop B. I dont know what that tuning is called

[@MellowHazard]

TheLeagueoffailure Drop A# or Bb. However you like to think of it.

[@TheLeagueoffailure]

David Lopez thanks. we learn something new everyday

[@Texasmonster10]

Thank you!

[@IBIiZzArDI]

What tuning is this on?

[@bvbsoldier99]

Pretty sure it's drop A#.

[@358Yamahayz]

Anyone got these tones made in vst? Been trying to figure out the lead and rhythm tone of the lead guitarist. Got the lead but the rhythm not so much.

[@ArtyomIlyin]

1:24 i thought playthrough means to play exactly what sounds

[@iExisttt]

r u drunk

[@blankbrian]

iExisttt no he's right. its off. but i mean who cares its just a play through. artists don't always play songs exactly how they were recorded

[@srivera5780]

What's the rhythm notes for the chorus?

[@EschGanesh]

What guitar does the lead guitarist use? o:

[@vittoslayer]

jackson dk2qht

[@kmw5100]

Jackson DK2QHT

[@ianpaul12]

can someone tell me what model of fender is that?

[@marcosking8]

Ian Encarnacion its just a telecaster, but a modified one.

[@GremlinGatbuger]

Ian Encarnacion its gibson telecaster hellraiser

[@ianpaul12]

Gremlin #Dream Arts since when did a fender turned into gibson?

[@GremlinGatbuger]

Ian Encarnacion sorry ;D it's joke :)

[@CapTyinKnots]

+Ian Encarnacion Idk if you were still wondering 2 months later, but it's the Jim Root signature.

[@superbotte1706]

[@MultiZHLOB]

[@DeafSprungoffical]

[@curtiswright9494]

[@GonzaXP0012]

[@4ibus]

Ништяк лабают)))))

[@dmitryoksen8701]

[@emoreaper15]

Why havent i heard this until now

[@xAphenx]

This is sexy.. What guitars are those, I can only see Jackson and Fender .. telecaster? haha thanks if anyone knows

[@njudndudi]

I'm not a 100% sure about the tele but it's probably the Fender Jim Root Signature and the Jackson is the "Pro Series DK2QHT" and it's actually a good and pretty affordable guitar! :)

[@xAphenx]

njudndudi Thanks a million!!

[@AdrianBensvik]

the guitarist on the left doesent do that much does he ?

[@michelinn11]

HOLY FUCK.

[@mort0868man]

Fucking amazing

[@grbgeslnger24]

Drum play through as well plz

[@mhabilliginzulfahris1362]

Keren bsnget lur

[@AlexXxtestify]

I really don't want to offend anyone here ecspecially not the band themselves but I quite honestly could stand their album. And now that I hear this I'm pretty sure it's because of the vocalists

[@petiecet]

Hey guyz, I like the work you put up right here, and I really love playtrough videos but man... there are some mistakes that should be corrected here, and like in " The Purge " video. No offense, and I'm not gonna troll or anything like that, just make clear things... listen and watch them, and you will notice ;)

[@kevinmarks13]

Finally found this video after many hours trying to remember the band name 😂

[@Ibanez369green]

Tuning?

[@wolfeyp1711]

Drop A#

[@JakeGallon]

NEED TABS NOW..what is the tuning. I am gonna figure this baby out

[@lalizwow]

That was pretty fucking cool (:

[@PuffNoBaka]

Tabs?

[@Muro_1695]

It's kind off like the last breakdown of Outnumbered TDWP

[@epicfunniezsa123]

breakdown at 3:05 to sick for fucking words

[@nickm1870]

Sick as fuck.

[@kennethhealon21]

"Here's slow" -shreds all fast-

[@67TrianglesInARow]

Wow... the rhythm guitar does absolutely nothing interesting at all throughout the entire thing.

[@xHOUNDofANUBISx]

still goes good with it though

[@DeezGamed]

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how much he does in the writing process haha

[@miniDroiDs]

Maybe you didn't heard about what is called a "rythmic guitar" in a song ... Beacause this is what he does

[@67TrianglesInARow]

miniDroiDs Rhythm guitar does not have to be boring and simple to be rhythm guitar. They are not synonyms. There are tons of rhythm guitarists that have very interesting and fun to listen to parts.

[@2strokeFORever]

Jamming a telecaster nice

[@intactGB]

Wow, I passed this band up after hearing thief very generic metalcore song that has the most views. Not expecting this time of guitar work

[@AsianPersuasian]

Tuning is Drop A#

[@faiqlutfishahrin]

its in A# tuned . some one please tab this fucking thing ! i try to learn it by ear guided by the video . its fucking hard -.-

[@gustavgjerstad6867]

This song is 1000 times better without any clean vocals imho...

[@johnreeves6621]

And Sumerian signed this band because....?

[@Voros15]

putting EMG's in a Tele just doesn't seem right... lol

[@hubertvedere4574]

Leads are fun, but the non-stop chuggin' gets boring...

[@njudndudi]

Moe J. so what you're saying you can't play metal without chugging? Not that it's wrong. It can be really awesome when placed right. But if it's almost throughout the entire song… it really gets kind of boring. Still dig the song though!

[@OurCityOfRomans]

He's not saying that he dislikes chugging, he's simply saying that it's overused in this song. Unfortunately that's the case for 90% of metalcore these days.

[@hubertvedere4574]

Matt Morgan Thank you matt.

[@grbgeslnger24]

Never lol

[@WalkerFilmsOfficial]

Too bad they overdubbed the guitar tracks from what they were actually playing. Awesome song though I dig it!

[@NickolaiDuddits]

Eh some cool things going on. I enjoy the layering, but from song to song it seems a bit too similar. Also the rhythm is a bit lame for me, too many open chugs. Not bad, but also not for me.

[@landlord21]

Looks like the lead guy missed a couple notes haha

[@Psychograce93]

It's not even them playing :\

[@McbrydeWithaY]

It's a playthrough, not a cover. They wrote the song anyway.

[@codic6759]

Tuning/tab?

[@wolfeyp1711]

Drop A#
