Mind-blowing idea

[@themiraculous0447]

I think about this on a near daily basis lol. They have a lot of connections too. Gene Hoglan drums for both of them and byron stroud, the bassist for syl, was actually dethklok's tour manager for at least the first tour.

Devin is such a performer, I love his stage presence, it's amazing, always brings a smile to my face. This version might actually be BETTER than the album version. It's more intense. Devin's really feeling it! With those screams @ 2:33 you just know. I find myself coming back for these video's every week, they're freaking awesome.

[@DJ11726]

he did a good job singing ISHAHN's chorus vocals....great song...dev has a mean sound...guitars dont look complex...that wall of sound is just brutal

He also tunes his guitar in a way that not many other players do.

[@darksorcerermusic]

yeah creates that really deep sound...my strings would flop around like spaghetti if i droped that low on my current set up

[@Decimator7]

John Kosar Yeah. Open C major mainly. His 7-string are Open Cmaj + Drop G. Same remark for the Open B : Open B maj, with added Drop F# for 7-string. Got to use a .65-.70 gauge to get enough string tension on the lowest of all.

[@JUdrums]

if its intentional what he does there (and i definitly think it is) then hes a fkin genius! even if u look on the songs with music theory background they are SO ineteresting and good written! he thought throug every single note, every chord, every pause, every tempo, every dynamical aspect, every submission, just everything! he also revolutionised my guitar tuning which is D/B/F#/B/F#/B/F#/B thanks to the greatmaster of simplifying. thanks for your attention :) JU

[@uboligu1]

[@TristanJCumpole]

People don't listen to demos for the sound. Les Paul himself said that "people are sold with their eyes" or something along those lines. You could drill a hole right through the guitar to hang your winky through and Devin's endorsement would have everybody doing it.

from 0:21 is sounds like it should be in musical. Or a very dark children's film. that sounds twisted but there's something about it

Yeah it sounds very Danny Elfman-like.

[@0ktober]

I love it too, try "In Abhorrence Dementia" by Limbonic Art, the atmosphere gets darker everytime you listen that record through.

[@isaiahperrry]

Yeah, there's kind of a folky groove there.

[@Brinydeep666]

well of course it sounds like it should be from a musical its from the album deconstruction which is a dark fantasy story and According to an interview with Townsend, the album is a concept album focused around a man who is obsessed with finding the true nature of reality. In the process of this journey, he goes to Hell and meets the devil. The devil shows him the secrets of the universe, presenting a cheeseburger to him. However, being a vegetarian, the man cannot eat the cheeseburger, rendering his attempts at working out the true nature of reality pointless.

I love "Ki" too. I started with Devin singing for Steve Vai and it didn't show Devin at anywhere near his full artistry in that band member capacity. Fast-forward and "Ocean Machine" rocked my world, then years later "Ki". My God, that title track's arpeggio ending ...

got tickets for 12th March 2017 Tesseract as support. only 24 years after seeing him with Steve Vai in 1993. can't wait, as an older git we now even got a hotel for the night in Bristol. I spent too many freezing cold nights waiting for the first train home during the 70s and 80s, I remember Bristol[and many other towns] in November hanging about all night in just shirt and jeans cos you missed the last train home. and Bath! ~ October and November 1980 {Comsat Angels, Rush] really really cold winter, U2 supported Comsats who became a big deal...that's why I specifically remember those
