DISSECTION - Maha Kali - Bass Playthrough by Brice Leclercq

[@briceleclercq101]

I was thinking of doing The Somberlain in a more or less near future... Any comments or even other suggestions than this track?

[@trancetuberevived1131]

Hi Brice! Dissection fans are really sleeping on your stuff.. Do you happen to have any other unreleased rehearsals / concert recordings etc? I am sure there would be a serious interest in that stuff.. Especially granted since Dissection is not a business, but an idea and energy. Thanks for this, I am happy for any Dissection relates stuff too! The Stockholn concert must have been an intense experience! Hail!

[@briceleclercq101]

@@trancetuberevived1131 Well I have the rehearsal recorded right before the gig in Stockholm, some raw recordings/rehearsals of Reinkaos but I have already posted this kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6fLaWeoibGZqpI that was supposed to be a bonus track for the album as well as a raw recording of NIB from Black Sabbath that we covered back then, meant for the japanese release... Somebody mentioned that I could do Black Horizons from the rehearsal and it's actually a good idea since nobody has heard a "normal" version of this track from the Rebirth area.

[@trancetuberevived1131]

I always listen to Rainkaos and travel back to the days when I discovered, the greatest metal album of all time, all the best from Mexico

[@briceleclercq101]

Man, I'm listening to Reinkaos right now. It's such a good record and I love the mix. Great work...

Thanks Justin! It's nice to hear... I was very surprised about the mix and how loud the bass is ;)

You have the ability to make your videos instantly stunning and attractive. Thank you to the algorithm that made it possible to watch good videos, I hope that you will succeed as you have worked hard for your dreams. After watching your video, I am grateful that I endured my difficult days when I looked sad and humble and became truly happy for a little while. On the waves waving and swaying on the huge sea called KZbin, my little channel boat is paddling towards my dream today. I am very lucky to have found your video while rowing a small paddle and going endlessly and endlessly. Your video shines the most on my KZbin window right now. Your video is the best video. I wish you could stay by my side forever. In the wide KZbin world like the Milky Way in the night sky, I happened to meet your video as beautiful as a star and enjoyed it as if I was dreaming. Please continue to upload your wonderful videos often. Even if the KZbin road is rough and the rain and wind blows and everything in this world moves away from me, I will always keep only your videos in my memory. It's the same premonition, so my heart melts. Even if the seasons pass and the years pass and the mountains and streams change, I think the KZbin world will never change and will last forever. Whether it was a coincidence or a coincidence based on an unknown mysterious algorithm, I opened my KZbin window and your thumbnail caught my eye.

[@briceleclercq101]

Thanks you very much for taking the time to check my videos DS Kim. Best of luck with your channel as well. And don't forget that you are doing your videos for yourself first. The rest will follow...

[@xeagleandhawkx]

thank you so much for posting this! i am a relatively new learner of bass (started in Dec) and i played Maha Kali at a student showcase performance. I didn't think i was ready to fully learn it yet, but i stumbled upon your video and was delighted that you are the bassist of Dissection! so i followed your lead and energy and gave a very confident performance at the student showcase! i also love that you enjoy Dokken and a lot of other bands that i like too. thank you for being an inspiration! looking forward to your new covers :)

[@briceleclercq101]

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a good comment! I'm glad that I could help you learn Maha Kali and welcome to the bass world! And yes, I listen to all kinds of bands and music. I find it very inspirational...

@@sethheliotrop4293 Since Reinkaos is your favorite album; when I recorded my bass on it, my goal was to make it as dark as possible... For this, I used a 5 strings bass on the album, to be able to go very low on some tunes like Dark Mother Divine or Black Dragon. Anyhow thank you!

@@briceleclercq101 sounds massive! BTW you mentioned my favorite songs :) I've always wondered why that sounds so hellish. I love this "sterile" lab sound.

You guys ever considered putting a band together and play a tribute to Dissection? I'm sure Jon would be thrilled! \m/

[@briceleclercq101]

Well I'm still in touch with Tomas Asklund and Johan Norman, but for me, Dissection without Jon is not Dissection... He had such an impact on the music by his unique way of playing that it wouldn't be a good idea at the end. People will want Dissection not a part of Dissection. At least that's what I think...

[@TheWisdom4all]

@@briceleclercq101 Thanks for replying back to me brother! It's awesome to hear you guys still in touch and everything, I totally understand what you mean by finding someone to be on the front of the band even for a tribute... It's just really frustrating isn't it? If you ever coming to London drop me a message, we arrange a chilling dark jam session \m/

[@CactusJacksEar]

To me it seems like Set and Watain have hijacked Dissection's legacy... If anything happens, it'll be on their side I can almost guarantee it, and personally I believe that sucks because contrary to what most everyone thinks, Watain has basically nothing to do with Dissection..

[@piotrstarosta8005]

Huge respect for your playing in Dissection, I always loved the level of creativity but at the same time it all fits together. Love the tone - what do you use?

[@briceleclercq101]

Well, this comes from the rehearsal before Stockholm, and we were tuned in D. Reinkaos has different tunings, depending on which track. So, I don't recall exactly but it can very well be that Maha Kali is in C#, yes...

Amazing!! Your Bass is a Squier Vintage Modfier or a Classic Vibe? I have a 2007 Squier Standard PJ Bass.Squier Basses are very underrated

[@briceleclercq101]

Thank you very much! It's a Squier Classic vibe 70's and I changed the pickups for Seymour Duncan SPB-3. And I agree with you, you get a lot of bass for the money. I've played many basses through the years, Ibanez, Warwick, Spector... But I wanted to go back to the roots with this bass and I'm not disappointed at all!
