Frontierer Live - UK Tech Metal Fest 2016 - First Show

[@theunaphotobomber]

Also, this is an incredibly mixed/mastered live recording...

[@Frontierer]

Luke Skinner thanks man. I record and mix all of our stuff and did it for this. Brad at Audiosiege handles all of our mastering

[@OTTOAUDIO]

They just stood there... trying to comprehend. These will be the people who look back in 12 years and say "I was there... been a fan since the beginning."

[@edmeth]

I loved Dillinger (you can hear the influence in their sound), but it was time they called it a day. It’s time for these dudes to shine.

[@Hellscrap3r]

Frontierer, Sectioned, Admiral Angry and Car Bomb are like the soundtrack to my fucking life. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@zsxdfddsgfsgsdrgdr1767]

its funny because sectioned and frontierer like the same band i think

[@Hellscrap3r]

@@zsxdfddsgfsgsdrgdr1767 It's all the same members, save for the vocalist. At least as far as I'm aware.

[@virtual_balboa]

Admiral Angry, yes yep always and forever

[@drewbocop]

I saw Car Bomb open for DEP during their final tour. They were relatively unheard of still, at least I had never heard of them. They were EXCELLENT.

[@gilroitto]

Thanks for the Section tip, really enjoyed them

[@seth691]

it's so awesome that someone picked up where Danza left off!! love this shit!!!

[@chadmoore9106]

Seth Grant totally read my mind.

[@Magdalena8008s]

Random fact. Lead singer was in a band with Danza’s Josh Travis called When Knives go Skyward before he joined Danza.

[@Nascarsoccer]

I thought for sure this was another band with josh Travis in it. So damn good

[@MrTommyDUB00]

All I was hearing after Techfest was how surprising these guys were. I'm hoping these guys can really blow up when their next album drops.

[@SoundIDCreators]

New album dropped... and it blew up. frontierer.bandcamp.com/album/unloved

[@2mgxx]

They got a Rolling Stone write up.

[@ProjectPhoenix21]

2 years later...they definitely blew up. These guys are fucking insane.

[@2mgxx]

They got even more Rolling Stone list placements like best metal album at around 18, and best new metal band I think. Might be wrong.

[@Frontierer]

www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-metal-albums-2018-763783/tomb-mold-manor-of-infinite-forms-763786/ Number 17! Man this video feels so old now. Definitely improved a lot since then.

[@AndyCagleCatfishing]

straight-up Danza meets Dillinger...total chaos.

[@ShikariHybryd]

A thing of pure beauty.

[@19RaxR91]

The thing is, it Sounds chaotic, but the groove is almost always there, at least based on how many times Ive went through "Orange Mathematics". I have troubling getting into "Unloved", however, something about it doesnt grab me...

[@chadmoore9106]

If only The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza were still around. What a killer tour that could be.

[@matthewhogan180]

Cannot wait for these guys to play a couple shows in the States. NYC will go nuts.

[@Frontierer]

One day..

[@ericshloyda2976]

NJ WILL RAGE!!!

[@GeorgeEndress]

Pittsburgh crowds are fucking insane

[@thejudgeholden84]

Just an out of control band. Chad has some pipes man

[@frelopermanboy7426]

Chad is one of my favorite vocalists, got an incredibly distinctive voice. I cant wait for their new shit this year.

[@teapotofdoom]

Love how the audience is overwhelmed, dope stuff 🤘

[@colins7771]

this band is FUCKING AMAZING... Insanely beyond crazy fucking good.

[@Peemanufacture]

The tone of what they say will make me shift

[@lordguirk]

this is the monster i've been looking for im so glad i've found you here

[@Frontierer]

Make sure you get the album for free!

[@NoogaJack]

No crowd could possibly be ready for shock and awe of this magnitude.

[@xTB99x]

I might be totally wrong, but I get kind of a RATM vibe with the pitch of the vocals and the effects that the guitars use. Fukcing love this album!

[@janlucsaneaux1915]

I know I'm 2 years late, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this. I discovered these dudes a couple of days ago and they are becoming one of my favorite bands holy fucking moly.

[@Anthropomorphic]

Now that you mention it, yeah.

[@alexmaur8817]

Oh definitely

[@jamisonandrewmanhorvaththe1124]

it is ironic, comparing RATM to Frontierer, but I definitely hear it. Kinda the same with Car Bomb and Metallica; I think Car Bomb sounds like if Metallica were a math core band in the 80s, only select songs by them, though.

[@jordans.2675]

Very impressive Vocal Stamina! I'm loving this!

[@operationgnp]

That crowd definitely wasn't ready to find out they didn't even know the heaviest band on the bill was hittin the stage. Hopefully next time around though they'll fuckin realize. Sick show. Love from San Diego. On a random note, does anyone else just feel like frontierer is the raddest fuckin band name on the planet? I fuckin love you guys. everything about you.

[@Frontierer]

Thanks man. To be honest that's the best reaction I have ever had from a crowd so was really fun haha. Thanks

[@badgerarc]

Nah dude, they had He Man ripping up the circle pit for most of their set. And he even burst his inflatable sword.

[@operationgnp]

Glad you dudes had a sweet time Ped, it definitely looked fun I just kinda imagine some 'parting the seas' style pit brutality from you epic dudes :D Maybe a full-room circle pit, fuuuuuuuuuuck :P

[@P3ppar]

Framåt Malmö!

[@claycorso137]

Ped, this is one of the most well-edited and mixed live videos on KZbin! Can't wait to see you guys live someday.

[@TheAlbinoskunk]

Oh man I wish I could have been there. If I ever see you guys live and you open with Tunnel Jumper again, I think I'll explode

[@Frontierer]

It's a fun opener for sure but we're hoping to have a couple of extra songs when we play in The Netherlands

[@dantheman52420]

18:04 this has got to be the heaviest breakdown ever. Surely the crowd is going insane. Oh wait they're just standing there. Were you guys expecting a smooth jazz show or something?

[@jeffd.3883]

LMAO. Competitive knitting muzak

[@dantheman52420]

It's making me anxious watching this again. Someone needs to shove someone into someone else

[@skyatlas7334]

I mean when you're packed in like fuckin sardines its hard to move XD

[@usererror4716]

crowd is wack but atleast there is a crowd!

[@BIGFUPES312]

My man rocking that Will Haven shirt ftw!

[@nilsseubold287]

You guys decimated that stage. Great set, great band, great approach. Hope to catch you guys live some day in the states!

[@Frontierer]

Thanks Nils! We hope to be there

[@benaiah93]

Sounds amazing. Great work

[@DillingerEP]

Good stuff. Had no idea this was going to sound as good live as it clearly does. Good on yeez, folks :)

[@Frontierer]

Cheers!

[@BirdNoise77]

The crowd wasn't ready

[@tribbyyonda-bass9186]

This is fucking awesome!i love your strong vocals bro

[@Frontierer]

Cheers dude! will tell Chad

[@tribbyyonda-bass9186]

great,thanks

[@brodykiller]

Robbie Tribulan thanks my man

[@IvanVyzhlietsov]

Great debut, i hope you'll develop your scene presence in future, sick music like this deserves crazy stage killing smash combos (:

[@Frontierer]

We're working on our live shows...just need to play more

[@shawnsmith8558]

Damn this sounds pretty awesome, very clean and well rounded mastering/sound! Love from Canada! I just saw Thantifaxath (Toronto based black metal with lots of noise and dissonance) and Pyrrhon and Cleric (US Death/Mathcore blend), you guys would fit right along side these guys on a bill haha Cleric and Thantifaxath both have some incredible new-ish releases out. Here's to hoping for a new ep/lp and maybe a Canadian Tour guys :P cheers

[@Kubsbeats]

Those cymbals sound fucking perfect...Anyone know the cymbal specs? In particular the ride/crash Paiste. Cheers from Toronto

[@TheEuropa567]

China and crash/ride are Paiste RUDE, hats are Alpha, and you can see the crash/ride and left side crash have a small section cut out of the edge, dries out the sustain nicely

[@owenhughesdrummer304]

Hey dude! Thanks for checking out the video! I do change cymbals regularly (unfortunately) just because they break haha! Im using Diril now but back then Paiste was the brand for me! I believe the set is, 14 inch Paiste Alpha Hi hats 18 Inch Paiste Signature or Reflector crash 19 Inch Paiste rude crash (That has a scallop repair) and of course, the 18 inch Paiste rude china! Hope that is helpful and feel free to check out some of my other drumming content on my channel! Cheers bud!

[@willstanbury9725]

we demand guitar playthroughs! i cant believe i didnt find out about this amazing fucking band until now. its like car bomb with more hardcore punk influence. i love when an album pisses me off when the songs are over

[@alexanderrestucci3604]

For the love of fuck. Please come to Arizona one day, gentlemen! I need to lose my shit to this at a show!!

[@gabrieljames4910]

Come to Seattle I will buy you food and all of your merch

[@thisissentimentalillness]

SO. GREAT.

[@theaquariuschannel666]

If I had epilepsy, I would go to Frontierer concerts

[@frigidlegumes]

Stuff takes on a totally different character live. Sounds fuckin great either way!

[@stemcellphone]

Rocking a Will Haven shirt... didn't expect that.

[@DocteurZeuhl]

Too bad there's a desync on most parts, because this first show is the best first show in the history of fist shows.

[@Frontierer]

As in the audio is out of sync with the video?! Thanks for the kind words man

[@DocteurZeuhl]

Yep, I think some videos were not perfectly synchronized with the audio, because the desync depends on the camera. I think it's visible at 1:10-1:12 (the video is late on the audio, the cymbals are a good clue), 1:58-2:04 (poor drummer ^^) and so on. Still a great video, sorry about the nitpicking :)

[@Mugenloo]

Yeah its a shame because everything else is so tight and perfect. Editor fucked up. It happens. But with live concert footage it makes a huge difference, pretty much live footage editing 101.

[@Mugenloo]

4:34 Perfect 4:38 Embarrassing

[@vincentalligier4078]

You guys are very cool. kiss from france.

[@NojSivraj]

Sick, guys.

[@Frontierer]

Thanks dude

[@pictures_on_silence]

that is a concert !!!!

[@drumsno]

The band should film again at a smaller venue for the full effect!

[@MatthewMaranan]

Holy shit! \m/

[@RobbisTV]

You guys fkn RIP! Come to Toronto, Onterrible please. It would be sick to see you play The Opera House

[@MichaelBFusion]

Their literal first show or just first show after the orange album released?

[@drumsno]

First show ever! I believe they practiced once before this.

[@CriticalMisser]

not really my bag (followed a friend's link), but one of the best live recordings ive heard in a long god damn time... kinduv hearkens back to late 90s early 2000s hxc... whoever did this live mix is a goddamn wizard

[@CriticalMisser]

cascading dialects kinda reminded me of training for utopia from waaaaaaay back

[@Frontierer]

I mixed it all as i do all of our stuff. Got it mastered externally. Thanks man!

[@flemplays]

"What if we took a Dimebag Darrell guitar squeal and turned it into a guitar riff?" -Frontierer

[@raykane8720]

I think the crowd dont know what happen

[@josefrancisco6969]

awesomeeeeee.

[@Frontierer]

Cheers dude

[@neoconnor4395]

This is rad

[@jaredbruno4383]

fuck man i need a cigarette now lol fucking chaotically amazing

[@johnusmaximus83]

Watching this, getting pumped for ArcTanGent. (And then Glasgow later in the year...)

25:12 - Beard-core-shuggah

[@alef4572]

Holy fucking shit bleak

[@jokeroflife2006]

I don't think the crowd was ready for you guys. at. all. That dude in the white shirt up front knows what's up though. Evil Dermis would of kicked their asses for sure!

[@FantaFuture92]

Well every song sounds the same. I really liked it when i first did listen to this band but it last like 5mins and this shit get´s boring fast.

[@FantaFuture92]

***** All i hear is some whammy madness. It´s brutal and all but not my beer.

[@Frontierer]

I get that it can seem quite monotonous - particularly on a live video recording where you dont get the stage impact. It's always hard to capture that but tried to do my best to keep punch with the mix. Will keep your comments in mind for a future setlist but you should really try the album to see if you can get into it.

[@Frontierer]

It's all mostly 4/4 to be honest. I think it can get quite monotonous because our sound is very much BAM BAM BAM hit you in the face, with no let-up.

[@krokodilejaw5431]

To me, this kind of music isn't really about diversity, it's more about the raw, chaotic feel. Whis is something that Frontierer nails better than most bands.

[@zaesoodl]

this is fucking unreal

[@marknorrismusic3512]

Absolute kill skills.

[@irotinmyskin]

the voice reminds me of Grady Avenell of Will Haven

[@brodykiller]

irotinmyskin my biggest influence. Cheers

[@irotinmyskin]

awesome to know that, and you do a great job! congratulations on your success!

[@brodykiller]

irotinmyskin thanks so much

[@randopedia1]

me, too... a few of the riffs, too ;)

[@randopedia1]

... not that I'm complaining. Will Haven are my favourite band.

[@greeninjaize5635]

These guys make Sikth look like Interpol.

[@wakingthydemonwakingthydem6447]

ахуительно

[@19RaxR91]

Eh, unfortunately "Bleak" sounded not right - and I dont know Why exactly, because the drumming sounds in the Pocket, but Still somehow not the same, as on the record, so the rest of the band sound off, as does the vocalist, because it seems he doesnt Get the pocket.

[@Frontierer]

CisforCock first gig ever with 1 rehearsal not knowing how the songs will turn out will do that to you

[@19RaxR91]

@@Frontierer Yeah, thats what I figured. Still, though, its so great to see the Beginning of it all, as well as how far you have come. Hope to see you at some point in my neck of the woods!

[@pestesoidubutor8626]

I don't like djent/tech-metal but this band's music fucking impress me. Maybe because I can hear a real punk/hxc energy and even some "tech-sludge" (a promising new genre) into it. This sounds hostile and menacing.

[@Burriamcold]

What the fuck is up with that crowd?!

[@theunaphotobomber]

BOY that is one weak crowd. Not trying to talk shit... just... how could you not want to destroy your body to this???

[@macheteddie]

pretty bummed you guys are that boring live. your album is a nice addition when the world is absent of Danza, but shit. study the chariot or something.

[@Frontierer]

octopus art.net this was our first show as a band based across the globe. With one full band rehearsal the day before the show I couldn't have asked for more. If you go watch some videos from our recent European tour, during 3 shows Dan, Chad and Calum were all being lifted up by the crowd and surfing into a vat of sweat in every venue. People coming up and screaming the lyrics which was beyond anything any of us had expected. THOSE are the shows.

[@macheteddie]

i came across this video looking for more content of the band in general so I'll give that a search and watch. Also, i was quite bummed to realize they didn't get admission to the U.S. i live in austin and was super hyped to be able to see them.

[@Frontierer]

octopus art.net we have never tried to get into the USA... wrong band!

[@chadmoore9106]

Dude, way to be a dick about it.

[@SHREDPWNS]

god awful... a worse emmure

[@MrTommyDUB00]

If these guys sound like Emmure to you, then your missing the point entirely.

[@Dwesk]

Just because Glass Cloud's Josh Travis joined Emmure doesn't mean Emmure sounds anything like these guys or Glass Cloud :)

[@BloodPython67]

Dwėsk he did? damn, he's either taking a fast track to the bottom, or has some crazy plan for that friggen band.

[@Dwesk]

Hunter Beveridge to be honest their new song Russian Hotel Aftermath is pretty rad, give it a listen
