How to Prog Metal in 40 seconds

[@BetterNateThanN3ver]

To truly be Prog Metal this song gotta be called something like: “External Metropolis pt. 6: Interpersonal Contrivance”

[@sparkinu1687]

Nah brah we need Hippopotmonstrosesquipiladaliaphobia pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis pt 46.

Lool yh my first thought was this is basically every Periphery song 😂

[@iamdecentatguitar1091]

The jacket, the glasses, and the guitar strap, just gold

[@russellvitranoiii3504]

The strap alone almost figuratively killed me, 😅😂😂😂

I think we need a full version of this also

okay but make it a whole song, all twelve minutes of it

Nah make it like SDOIT or Catch Thirty Three, 50 minutes of madness

Why is no one saying that Nik’s a fucking genius? Like, the dude fucks!

[@raidermaxx2324]

wait what?? do you kids actually say that?? "the dude fucks" ??? :P

[@ChildTickler202]

Yeah man he goes hard and deep

[@SarcasmIsMyGame_]

He sure knows how to pluck a G string

[@TidesofWarHighlights]

He makes some of the heaviest riffs I ever heard, and half the times its just as a joke.

[@AwfulWeather5684]

You should make a video like this specifically on how to sound like Opeth. Because they spooky and I liking it a big lot.

[@ournextarc]

Nik needs to make a synth of just his high pitched vocal notes. Have the AI make it a few octaves worth. Then incorporate it into the most amazing prog metal song ever.

[@blairbird8022]

Now I want a how to mathcore in 30 seconds.

"One high vocal note."

[@matthewmanafie]

Aahhhh , man, those Lyrics. I rly felt how my emotional scale just expanded itself into a new Dimension. You rly opened my eyes!

[@marklohebany228]

the riff sounds like it’s multiple riffs from different songs, that were just smashed together. this is very accurate

[@RaulVicenteJ]

Dude, I'm speechless. Every single detail. Genius.

[@brunocharbonneau5272]

That high vocal note with the music killed me. Good job!

[@jackdennis3626]

A full version of this is needed

[@Paulosf94]

Also definitely not missing on holding the guitar high af 😂

[@GretgorPooper]

DUDE, we need a full one now.

I've chuckeld at most of these videos but that actually sounded really good to me.

[@EncoreASMR]

Prog has taken over modern metal. Literally nearly everyone from BMTH to Architects to Metallica to August Burns Red to Spiritbox to Deftones to Blind Guardian plays like this. And of course Between the Buried and Me & Dream Theater

[@tristankrager9789]

How i felt the first time I heard anything by Jason Richardson

[@blakejones6648]

Angelic singing 🎶

[@GlenMeye]

When he said "Ah" my Berkley degree felt that

[@ujai5271]

I appreciate that these are usually "How to X in 30 seconds", but because it's prog, it's longer.

[@emmahester3427]

He's not wrong. Great video Nik!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jackdennis3626]

Please do a full version

[@jpmalo6708]

Nick the only guy to ever play sitting and standing at the same time lol.

[@MortonCammar]

Every dream theatre song ever.

[@NA-zc3om]

that high note xD

[@neonnerd1364]

This is why I love between the buried and me. Tommy doesn't go afk. He just does his vocals over the radness.

Bro just made a Dream Theater song and I love it!

[@islayzombies1]

It's funny how the second you add in the jazzy note runs, it starts to sound exactly like Between the Buried and Me. They're like a death metal band crashed into a Uni music department at high speed.

[@SurgicalStrike41]

One of the better btbam descriptions I've seen

[@ezysao]

And that is most likely the band he got inspiration from when he made the video. Between The Buried And Me is also one of the best bands ever, not a statement it is a fact

[@lightrogueowns]

Sounds like this should be on Galneryus’s album “Union Gives Strength”.

[@CarpeDiem23]
