I hope Jared doesn't see this comment...

@@SwanMGSYT different a bit styles and Jared is very good in his style , at least I didn't see it on fretless, waiting for the album archspire!!!

[@Matt-nk2tp]

We need a Dean interview with Forrest or Phil Tougas!

[@FirstFragmentQC]

This is gonna be the last video we'll be posting in a while. Next time, it'll be something from our next record which is being recorded right now. Enjoy!

[@williambiron2726]

YES YES YES

[@joshuawerner3074]

Yes New First Fragment coming soon! This was a good play through video of your Bass guitarist playing track one from the second record! Keep tech guys and always be safe and have fun rock and roll forever!

[@brashka8452]

Can't wait!

[@JIbbWhistle]

Awesome!

Sick. Cant wait!!

[@ThatPunkYT]

6 strings Fretless Lefty Fingers The ultimate bassist

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

And he taps too like a boss

[@russellzauner]

I now have two reasons to justify a 6 string bass. Fretless is just icing on the already deluxe cake.

[@KingKorns]

i was so buffed by the playing tat i didnt even notice the left playing... what the fuck

[@RaphaelBolivar]

And you didn't mention his pose of classical guitar

[@leonardomattarmonteiro2824]

Yep Definitely

[@kyleroliver2143]

"The bassist from that Canadian tech death band from quebec is insane" ah yes you mean forest the bassist from Every Canadian techdeath band.....i still remember the augury play through like it was yesterday. 🤘

WTF BEST COMMENT ( TICKLE 👹)

[@vonclod123]

Now thats funny!

[@russellzauner]

You get friction burns from his tickles if you do resist.

[@Lordoftheswollen]

Behold and despair the tickler is among us!

[@ChrisBevanBass]

The dude's picking hand is unreal. What a beast 🤘🏻

[@dimitriid]

Damn badass. Also love to see how Dominic is very aware of rhythm too: 1:52 notice how he bounces between normal and half time along with the drums when they switch from hats, to ride then back to hats. That's bass 101 for you right there.

[@ArtOfRuin981]

Man's a beast.

[@BORN753]

I think you meant between swing feel and normal. Or am I getting something wrong?

[@officialmetalwill]

So you think it is badass that he can perform basic techniques? You should get out from under the rock you're obviously living under.

[@albertoornelas9283]

that's what I be telling my friends, that change of rhythm is simply one of the best things to ever be played on a fretless

[@shelbygl0ck545]

We are not worthy enough to even change this man's strings

[@officialmetalwill]

Why? He isn't really anything special. His left hand finger picking is slightly impressive, but nothing he is playing is difficult.

[@sRichterMusic]

Not even to retune his bass lol

[@tromboneman4517]

I don't know which is the best thing to come from Quebec, poutine or the death metal scene. Both are f%&king awesome

[@vommir.]

Also the black metal is gold!

[@coltonpugh9669]

Vincent's lines are seriously the craziest I have ever heard in my life. You couldn't have found a more capable replacement than Dominic. Even for him, with his experience, learning Vincent's parts has to be challenging.

[@geraldlaurens6987]

Respect, FIRST FRAGMENT FOREVER

[@brandongnarlow9162]

Refreshing to hear a bassist, especially a metal bassist, who takes his shit seriously. Great stuff!

[@Forcene77]

Vraiment très impressionnant! Tu ne cesseras jamais de m'épater avec ce talent inné que tu possèdes mon chum. Une fierté, une emblème pour le Québec! Respect Forest!

[@daveleblanc3558]

Une vraie machine de guerre!

[@clist9406]

Classical sounds so killer with the metal drum beat. Killer Bass playing

[@IronMetal]

That left hand owns Cliff Burton and Steve Harris every day of the week. I'm left-handed too!

[@blackgravy4996]

Not really my style of music, but I recognize ridiculous skill. Much respect!!

[@officialmetalwill]

"Ridiculous skill"? You don't listen to much music, do you? Nothing ridiculous about this.

[@chrisss3749]

What? It’s a compliment mate. Ridiculous can also be a positive description i.e. that man is ridiculously talented

[@benjbsn2429]

The only ridiculous thing here is @officialmetalwill :’(

[@kernelpanic3520]

Dominic "Flying fingers" Lapointe :)

[@ArtOfRuin981]

There is nothing left of his girl. Melted into a puddle lol shes in the case and the bass goes on the dates lol

[@OvAeons]

always love his playing!

[@JohnHenry1331]

1:46 sick groove 🕺

[@fireemblemistrash75]

I imagine Dominic’s pre-bass workout is seeing how many walnuts he can break with his plucking hands. Then dialing in the dream bass tone

[@EricBurnetMusic]

Excellent! Forest pour toujours.

[@petemendoza705]

Ok home office can wait now! This is way more important!!

[@WORLDFESTMMXCIX]

Dude, you are amazing. I already knew that, but damn. I mean, really. Wtf did I just watch? You just one-take Jake'd maybe the craziest, most demanding cut on the record. I'm floored. Inspiring!

[@gaetanbothorel688]

Perfect, inspirational, godly!

[@francescoballetta7945]

[@jasonberezowski2869]

The playing got to a point that I actually just started laughing out loud.

[@Chiro75]

Reddit moment

[@coreygraves1228]

Great playing man. 😉👍

[@ohadellert6319]

Metal bassists are like the avatar. Every generation gets one!

[@jcauto66]

This is the best left handed fretless death metal bassist that I've heard so far today

[@mladd777]

Forest, this is an amazing playing as usual. The composer of this bass line, Vincent Savary, is a hell of a bassist too. His playing was top notch too. Can't wait for the next album!!

[@TheSpliffstarEffect]

The most incredible right hand technique I've ever seen. Forest is without a doubt the best bassist in music, imo.

[@officialmetalwill]

RIGHT hand? He isn't doing anything special at all with his right hand. I can't believe how easily impressed some people are.

[@DREADDWELLER]

@@officialmetalwill I think he didn't think about Forest being a lefty, lol. His picking is definitely the most impressive part, but come on dude, REALLY? "Can't believe how easily impressed how some people are"? What the hell actually impresses you then? And don't say "Victor Wooten" or something because the style is so different they're not even comparable.

[@gabrielbiancardi4004]

Now we have reached the peak .. Death metal for nerds I couldn't be happier than that, being an old guy of this musical style. congratulations
