What an amazing performance! On 2013 I had the honor to be in the support band for Hate Eternal for 42 dates in the USA. On the 20th date my amp collapsed and Mr Rutan himself let me use his amp for the rest of the tour. What a legend! Only respect and admiration for the great Erik Rutan.

[@bizzlemizzle8467]

cool story bro...

So sick brother! He's a machine! 🤘

[@merginator]

Wasn't that the Hate Eternal and Fear Factory tour?

[@greatkali5866]

good for you

[@Titant2]

Rutan rules. In my opinion he is the most criminally underrated metal guitar player/death metal vocalist of all time.

[@SentientSeven]

Also he appears to be the nicest dude ever in interviews

[@BrandonofRedemption]

PIZZA He had sex with a pizza?

[@tylerdees4850]

@@SentientSeven he is. I've met him and he's the nicest guy in the world.

[@laynevlogz4922]

Titant2 crazy talented! ☝️

[@sullivanknoth6430]

Evidence suggests that he and HE are certainly underrated. I remember seeing HE on tour with Vital Remains and the crowd size was pathetic

[@granthelas4468]

Erik is the unsung hero of death metal

[@SebaStarscream]

That picking hand is TIGHT. The lead is exquisite. What a beast.

[@strixaluco9369]

The King of All Kings! His solos have so much soul and emotion, which is very rare in Death Metal.

[@AlexHevari]

As far as I can remember (And I've listened tons of death metal stuff) - only Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P.) played such an emotional and soulful solos.

[@skatterpro]

What we perceive as emotion is subjective, but I'd argue there's a bunch of guitarists out there putting in this level of emotion in their leads: Kyle Rasmussen of Vitriol Luc Lemay of Gorguts Marlon Friday of Abhorrent just to name a few.

[@rickdiggler9680]

I appreciate the sentiment of Rutan but death metal is some of the most soulful. check the leads on horrendous' The chills. The clues in the title because I get goosebumps just thinking about some of those solos

[@jorgequiroz1027]

Rutan and Dave Suzuki are one of the few were the music is chaos and destruction but the solos are soo melodic.

[@Mizziri]

What a beast. Not only has Rutan produced countless incredible DM records, but godDAMN can he play.

[@isaiahgrandt5305]

Are you ready for the new cannibal corpse album

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

@@isaiahgrandt5305 if it sounds like bloodthirst? If it’s torture or skeletal or any of that crap they retired to me.

[@Admiral_Bongo]

He started as a musician first, producer second, after all.

[@Metal_Vault]

Rutan is among the elite, one of the best extreme metal guitarists of all-time.

[@RohannvanRensburg]

I'm mesmerized by his picking, he's so smooth. I don't really understand how he does two downstrokes and string skips at the same time so smoothly.

[@Kwert]

Smooth and he's also picking HARD. Really underrated in the world of metal guitarists.

[@RohannvanRensburg]

@Dig Ol' Bicks You'd be surprised how often this doesn't always work out. Some guys have a really gifted intuitive sense for how to accomplish what they're doing technically, or at least how to seek it out. Simple practice doesn't necessarily get you there.

[@Fitheach81]

@Dig Ol' Bicks I'm with you, practice - not maintenance. There's been a plethora of books, videos going back to the 80s, at least for metal/shredding stuff. Eric's also been a pro-musician for 25+ years, the folks who pick things up easily are possibly more interested & motivated than others - I recall ppl I knew from middle to high school who'd stick it out for a year and move on, or their 'band' was more about hanging out with friends than anything else. Anyway - Eric's fucking amazing and underrated for sure, but he's built a solid reputation with Mana Studios which is noteworthy in itself.

[@kennethfrazee2540]

Inside picking ftw. Eddie played similar pattern on Diver Down's "hang em' high." Just gotta take it slow with mass repetition, while watching family guy or something to distract from the tedium.

[@RohannvanRensburg]

@@kennethfrazee2540 It looks more like he's doing some sort of two-string sweep motion, there's no change of pick angle. Down up-down down up-down down

[@MetalDeth777]

Hate Eternal is so underrated. Truly one of the heaviest bands in Death Metal, period.

[@adksmsjudn34321]

HATE ETERNAL IS THE DEFINITION OF DEATH METAL

[@nategin9009]

[@snø_music0]

I couldn’t disagree more

[@lommalos]

[@mjm00011]

Eric is a legit guitar god. It's about time everyone realizes it.

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

I’d expect better riffing than this for that title but whatever’s. I loved king of all kings record and the lead on God of the forsaken

[@stonemaster234]

Guitar god might be a mis-title but death Metal god he is forsure. Without him who knows what Morbid Angel would’ve turned out like, also Dreaming With The Dead is an amazing record by Ripping Corpse, and of course his work with Hate Eternal and his production work with so many great bands that credit him for their crisp, yet full and pronounced, non watered down sound. He’s a sponge when it comes to learning new things it seems to me, and someone with that much ambition and energy to put towards something like death metal, mannnn, dude must have some serious relationship problems lmao but he’s a great legend and we’re blessed to have him in Cannibal corpse now❤️🔥👌🏻

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

@@stonemaster234 I agree. Fantastic talent.

He just did a play through video for a new song. Fucker rips!

[@twelvegaugeslug7840]

I was hoping the same when I heard he'd joined. And he has.

[@johndunne4316]

He is one of 4 of my Favorite guitar players all time. Trey,Rutan,Skolnick,Mustaine. Him and Trey were magical.

[@pantera89]

yea but what about terrance Hobbs? (Suffocation)..........

Killer guitar work all the way through, but from 4:17 on is just incredible, and really shows what makes Rutan such a special death metal guitarist. Still writing killer stuff after almost three decades. Maybe the most underrated legend in death metal history.

[@tobycarr8516]

I love how you can actually hear the bass grinding in the mix!

[@frankmartin9958]

Love the melodic solo, Reminds me of his playing in Alas

[@tylerdees4850]

Erik kicking some serious Ass! Saw him with cannibal corpse and he was incredible he's the only one that can fill in for pat and plays pats parts perfectly. And I've been a huge fan of Hate Eternal and cannibal since I can remember.

Agreed

[@paake3134]

Beautiful guitar and amazing talent Edit: holy shit those solos.

[@TheScaredofsilence]

In fairly certain dragons have been slain with that guitar

[@anahowana]

Always wanted someone to bring from the shadows artists like Rutan or Hoffman brothers into the lights of KZbin production videos. Seeing Erik that close killing it with the help of this deadly beautiful Bcrich ironbird custom shop makes me happy. It was only through 90s morbid angel DVD bootlegs that one could enjoy Rutan's craft !! Cheers from Morocco.

[@KadintheGuitarDude]

I keep coming back to this. What an absolutely unbelievable performance. At 3:25 I had to double check to see if I had the playback speed set to higher than normal lmfao

[@timcarstensen9951]

Listen, all I’m saying is that Cannibal Corpse should play King of All Kings on the next tour with dual vocals.

[@JohannesParra]

Doubt Paul Mazurkiewicz can play that fast

Erik is an insanely crushing-tight rhythm guitarist!His picking style is sharp as a razor and heavy as an anvil! One of the best!!A very challenging and inspiring musician!!

[@The_Cadaver]

I got to stand like 4 feet in front of Eric at a small show in El Paso, Texas in the early/mid 2000's. Absolutely blew me the fuck away. Ever since then, he's been one of my all-time favorite death metal guitarists. Plays the absolute SHIT out of his instrument.

[@jasonlauritsen5587]

I like to stand a bit further back or atleast i think i would. Both times that i saw Hate Eternal I was at the front and damn do you get hit with his hand spray. The guys a friggin beast with them instruments, makes em earn their keep.

Fuck I’m awesome, I actually live 3 hours from El Paso lol

He bought it off some dude on Ebay 😄

@@DSchea lol no he didn't. He talks about the guitar in a tour video of his studio. A buddy had it made and had to sell it but would only sell it to Erik.

[@archdruid9955]

Kyle Watson You’re absolutely right Kyle he bought it off of Joey Capizzi from The Dying light my best friend Brandon was in the band also and they use that same guitar to record their dying light albums and then afterwards Joey Capizzi had sold it to Eric. Joey and my boy Brandon actually recorded the albums in Eric’s studio in Florida

[@thatsameenergy]

@@archdruid9955 it really is a cool guitar. I love the pickup choices and why. And thats cool you guys are part of death metal history in that way because that guitar is legendary at this point.

[@archdruid9955]

Kyle Watson When Joey Capizzi had it it had diMarzio pick ups and a Kahler tremolo. You should check out the albums the dying light survival guide to the apocalypse and the killing plan old school East Coast death thrash

[@riv-music-7]

When he is playing his solos, you can clearly hear his "classical" ear speaking. And concerning the chords playing the harmonies, this could also have been a song written for ALAS. A project I really, really liked. It is sad that he didn´t go on working on it, obviously. I remember getting the first ALAS demo from him when he was on tour with Morbid Angel!

[@sinnersmetal]

Amazing solo!

[@andrewpattie3528]

Fantastic composition.

[@Fitheach81]

I remember Keith Merrow from the Agile Guitar forums around 2008-10, can't believe how far he's come! So glad I got to see Eric with Cannibal last November, probably the best live guitar sound/mix I've heard, thick/dense and articulate, would love to see Hate Eternal as well.

Amazing guitar player but much more amazing person. Had the opportunity to see Hate Eternal at St. Vitus in Brooklyn, NY; a very small yet intimate venue. While he was setting up, I asked him a few questions about his set up and he quickly stopped what he was doing and began to answer my questions. Rutan even took the time to snap a quick pic with me. Super, super awesome dude! Needless to say that he made a lasting impression. Stay brutal! ✊

[@SmashAtoms]

He’s always super nice. I met him at a show and asked him to sign a vinyl for my buddy and he did it with a smile. Grade A dude.
