2019 u played in New Orleans and even though the new album dropped you guys still played Promethian Kings. My boy Sean Anders asked u guys to play it..... This song is soooooo fucking perfect. I want to thank you guys for taking the time to run through old material live.

[@pourliver]

I picked that shit up and it kicked the shit out of me, looking forward to being able to play the hell out of those tabs! Coming as an intermediate player, the video was great, just enough detail to grasp everything, really love those riff dissection, much love from Montreal!

[@INFERIOfficial]

Glad it helped. More soon to come!

[@MetalDeathEnigma]

It is incredible how much y'all have raised the bar. Inferi is pure adrenaline!

[@daseiinn]

This brings me great pleasure.

[@useroffline6641]

oh yeah, new Inferi content, let's go

[@掏摸スリ]

Whooo, new year, new riff dissection. Absolutely love the tab book!

[@steveosiris]

I hope the new ep become a tab book. That’s been on repeat for days.

[@rob550]

I haven't picked up your tab book yet, but I just want to say thank you for making it spiral bound. It's nice to have when you're working through a piece of music and the book isn't constantly wanting to close back up forcing you to grab a tuner or metronome to hold the pages down, especially on a music stand that has limited space.

[@INFERIOfficial]

Spiral or GTFO!

[@MatthiasKalthoff]

Hey Malcolm, i'm sure you won't remember but the little octave-melody-or-whatever at 8:17 is the one i (male/brutally handsome/grey hair/wonky teeth) tried to tell you about when we talked for 45 seconds after your gig on a cold december night in 2019 in munich/germany ^^ The same night i compared hand-sizes with Dean Lamb, lol. Well, anyway. I know it seems like an insignificant little melody compared to all the insane, high speed, sweepy stuff but i love it and probably forever will :)

[@MalcolmPugh]

I definitely remember! That was a fun show!

[@olecthulhu5339]

Good shit this is awesome. Deans video was hilarious

[@Jonnygurudesigns]

Your own tab book? Hot damn! I'm impressed.. Tons of time put into that I would guess.

Malcolm, thats great. Ive been spinning that cd since its release. I would love to see a video for either "marching through the flames...", " A betrayal unfortold" or "destroyer". 💪🔥😍

[@scallionboy8679]

Well here goes the next ten years trying memorize the 200 plus pages whilst trying learn how to play this awesome stuff 🤤. Thanks for the work put into it. But even if don't make it through it all it was worth buying!

[@Jeffmetal42]

God. Damn. MONSTER! Riffs for days son! 🤘🤘

[@juanxmass]

Was transcribing the whole riff into guitar pro, ending buying the book on sheet happens... Guitarp pro files included if you wonder, that's great Awesome riffs !

[@jktipan87]

Oh yeah malcom the boss

[@Mettle_DAD]

I am the king of all kings! Is the best thing u guys have ever done. Its catchy. Melodic. Not contrived. I didnt know that was your vocal line. That's awesome. Knew u did vocals since your solo work. Always wondered why u weren't the vocals on inferis 1st album rather than binya binya pollywog.

[@loganross6436]

I gotta get this tab book, this album is soo fucking sick. Also Malcolm if you see this, I'm the one who thought you guys used 7 strings my bad lmao. I seen it on a tab, so thats another reason I need the tab book. Complete 100% accuracy from the band, anyways best fucking band ever. Long Live Inferi!!!!!

Is that a new Kiesel or a new camera? The burst color looks different.

[@MalcolmPugh]

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. It is a new guitar. It's a DC-6 mahogany body with a koa top and the other is a Swamp Ash Aries, both have a black burst finish.

Thank you

[@slothyone]

Malcolm - When someone is learning how to do speed or sweep picking, what is the best way to build up speed if you hit a wall? I have tried playing to a metronome but get "topped out" 20+ bpm short even if I practice for weeks. Is there ever merit to just trying to play fast without a metronome and cleaning up the technique later? How do you build speed if you hit a wall? I bought the tab books but can't play fast enough 😂

[@clutchitup9861]

What im always curious of is where did you get your knowledge from and what your inspiration is? Thats what interests me infinitely more than learning the how.

[@Master._._.Blaster]

EPIC

[@pat82ization]

Please,next episod: Sentenced to eternal Life This Song its Amazing!! When it will be available on sheet happens "the End of an Era/rebirth" ?i would buy it immediately!! Thanks!

[@joereyna614]

These vids help a lot. I’m trying to learn some and nope! Lol crazy riffs and time signatures, I’m like “I got it” then play it back and I’m like “wtf?! It’s a different riff” lol. Any idea where I can find some wall flags?

[@INFERIOfficial]

Some of the material is pretty advanced, but you'll sure nail it with time. There is a link in the description that will take you to our merch store. We still have ep flags left.

Shit. I guess I have to take my Floyd Rose out of F standard finally. It’s been like that for a while because I’m so lazy and didn’t play for a while because I have some weird rib pain after playing too much now (like two years with the same strings).
