DEMILICH (original vs. remasters) Nespithe デミリッチ

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Just gave it the ol'relisten on the headphones again on account of my crappy Walmart desk speakers and MAN, having no baseline or bias with no clue who these obvious geniuses are, they're all 3 so different and stuff I think I like about each that I want it to continue longer to even say which is "best"?!

[@metal_helm]

For being 1993, these guys were ahead of their time (I know this is cliche). But it's like they are progressive death metal with minimalism characteristics. They'll take a 5 note riff, and keep twisting it around in a different way each time. glad it intrigued you

[@MagnumDongG]

according to the notes of the 2014 version "This version of Nespithe is mastered from the original unmastered 24 bit master tapes, whereas all the other versions were mastered from the inferior 16 bit CD masters."

[@metal_helm]

Nice thanks for the information! That might be part of the reason why I like it so much. 😁

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

This reminds me of a song I think I thought about writing called "Highly rating the squeak from the digits of the manualist musician who rates versions of bands filled with incredibly clever titled run on sentences and imperceptible perceptions of sound" Oh hey, check out John Twomey, the Original Manualist!

[@metal_helm]

LOL

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

2014, saw them live back in 2018, met Antti and Aki, got my shirt signed a my picture taken. It was an honor.

[@metal_helm]

that is incredible!!

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

@@metal_helm Only other person person that happened with was Matt Pike and Al Cisneros of Sleep.

[@metal_helm]

@@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip that's cool as hell. I've got my own stories too of meeting my heroes that I plan on saving for later on this channel!

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

@@metal_helm Love to hear them, now are you in Japan currently?

[@metal_helm]

@@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip nope in Michigan. I did talk to Blitz (Overkill) and Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage) while I was there though..oh yeah, also Buzz from the Melvins and one of the guitarists from the now defunct Burnt by the Sun

[@breadhenge]

2K! Congratulations!

[@metal_helm]

thank you sir, now I know someone will unsubscribe just to throw it off LOL

[@strungupandgutted]

Found these guys way before I really got super into metal, was still barely scratching the surface of the genre, they were by far the most bizarre and obscure band i ever came across, never got into them at first but later on in life they would become one of the bands I think highly of , they stand out from any band hands down, nothing sounds ripped from other bands, 100% original music

[@metal_helm]

yes they are very rare indeed. I didn't discover them until much later on and instantly realized how groundbreaking they were. Do you have a favorite out of the 3 versions here?

[@strungupandgutted]

@@metal_helm hell yeah man, they are a gem amongst other bands. And honestly I heard the original release first before the others and was always blown away by it but the 2014 remaster added a bit more depth to the sounds and really made certain riffs stand out more. In my opinion they managed to get a decent balance in the mix and it still sounds heavy and raw but with more clerity. so imma have to say the 2014 remaster is a great re-release but I still have a soft spot for the original since that was my first nespith experience \m/,

[@metal_helm]

@@strungupandgutted well said!

[@riveracollazo]

Man does that 2009 version sssssuck! Its funny that some people are saying that vocals sound like farts. Oddly enough I think vocals are one of Finnish death metal's biggest strengths. It's supposed to sound slimy. I really wish some day At The Gate's The Red in the Sky is Ours would get the same treatment this release did. I really love that one too.

[@metal_helm]

to each his own. It's not my type of DM vocals, but I don't hear farts. I like a more Glenn Benton type of voice, but that's just me. which version do you have? the original or 2014?

[@riveracollazo]

@@metal_helm I've heard both but I own the original since there was a short time where the og recording was free lossless for a while and I still have those files around. I use tidal and listen to 20th adversary.

[@R2R3Lockingnut]

This band reminds me of sitting with my long time friend/ guitar player and he would play me these bands I never heard of 🤯 His influence of choice of bands,excluding the mainstream metal, made me come up with some crazy lead runs that were out of this world. Anyways where am I going with this 🤔

[@metal_helm]

I do know. If I had grown up with you, I probably would have been right there next to him trying to get you to listen to more stuff you'd never heard of \m/ \m/

[@guitarmeetsscience]

No doubt - the rich bass of the 2014 version takes it! Also the highs seem more ...full range...realistic - not sure but it's clearly better to my ears as well. Plus - farts have greatly improved in 2014, and now - they're better than ever - so good you can feel the heat from them!!

[@metal_helm]

well said my friend

[@DoomHydra]

Bruh you had me crippled with that last part 😂

[@ac130kz]

2009 messed up with the highs too much, 2014 is compressed over the level of my acceptance, although I have to admit it has thicc and juicy bass on some songs, which messes up other songs. The original wins here for me, it has so much dynamic range headroom, it's awesome to listen to

[@metal_helm]

well said!

[@grindsmore]

The 2014 remaster has the kind of richness and circumambience that'll win me over in a heartbeat. It's awesome to see some love for Demilich on here, by the way.

[@metal_helm]

haven't watched the video in. a while, but I believe I liked the 2014 as well. I would like to do more "underground" stuff like this, but the views are so low. Anyway, if you think you might like this kind of content (i've got a bunch of these comparison vids) please consider subscribing

[@NTipton90]

@@metal_helm the 2014 version uses a fresh 24-bit remaster from the studio tapes whereas the 1993 and 2009 versions both use the 16-bit CD master which was often left peaks with lots of compression and brickwalling. Also, I got to see them live last year and they ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RULE.

[@metal_helm]

@@NTipton90 that must have been incredible!!!

[@smithe35]

I usually agree with ホタル when it comes to liking bassy versions, but it’s a close call for me between 1993 and 2014. I wish I could compare the farting…I mean singing in the 2014 version.

[@PooNinja]

It may sound good in there but how’s it smell?

[@metal_helm]

i'm pretty sure you know the answer to that

[@PooNinja]

@@metal_helm lemony fresh

[@metal_helm]

@@PooNinja or rotten citrus depending on the angle of your head

[@smithe35]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the singing sounded like farts.

[@EMH-Ascending]

Was this album ever released on vinyl? I know the CD is stupid rare to come across, I saw there was a limited run of 50 made not long ago, but I’m not forking out huge money for it. I need those farts and slams on wax damnit!

[@metal_helm]

good question. I have no idea. If it were released on vinyl, i'm sure it would sell pretty well. oh yeah...LOL. i like your username

[@EMH-Ascending]

@@metal_helm Thank you man, this is my first video I’ve seen by you, that sub count should be way higher! You’ve gained my subscription 🤘

[@metal_helm]

@@EMH-Ascending I think so too, but I guess the rest of internet doesn't feel that way LOL

[@EMH-Ascending]

@@metal_helm Nah man I think you’ll catch on, it definitely takes persistency above all else. I jump around all types of KZbin videos, but Metal content in general is always more niche, unfortunately most people can’t appreciate extreme music, but I certainly do!!

[@philcollinshill2951]

I guess you think the 2011 Individual Thought Patterns remix sounds better than the original too

[@metal_helm]

I don't know! great question I should do a comparison video on this. tbh though, not a fan of this album, I should check it though!

[@MatthewJBD]

What about the new Muse remaster?

[@metal_helm]

you mean the band Muse?

[@MatthewJBD]

@@metal_helm yeah... I know they're not very fitting with the rest of your stuff - but their remaster of the 2001 album is really interesting

[@metal_helm]

@@MatthewJBD yeah, there's no way I could put them on this channel. Not that I don't think they aren't a good band, but one thing that kills a YT channel is doing something the audience doesn't want. Who knows, maybe one day I'll start including rock as well??

[@rocknrollsnaggletooth]

What about the 1996 version of nespithe is it the Master as the first version of nespithe

[@metal_helm]

I didn't even know there was a 96 version!!??

[@rocknrollsnaggletooth]

@@metal_helm yeah Repulse Records released it in 96

[@metal_helm]
