[@mikesemesky]

Such an honor to be on the show, Nick! Super stoked on how this turned out!

[@WombatThings]

Mike! Huge fan! So sick to see you collabing with Nick, epic duo. Are you guys releasing this as a full song? 🙏

[@gziggy]

You absolutely smashed this. Cheers!

[@coltonrudd]

This sounds so good man! Such a great melody choice, and the friggen tone of your voice dude…unreal!

[@tamawarren8256]

It'd be an absolute injustice to not release a full length version of this one lads, banger 🤌

[@Ripper15ltd]

I'm sorry, but this is unreal. This NEEDS to be made into a full track with Mike! That would be on repeat constantly!

[@kyleritter3074]

Holy shit, he is one of my most favorite vocalists EVER! I can't believe this! Fucking epic!

[@WombatThings]

Surreal to see one of my favorite vocalists on my favorite KZbin series. Guys please finish this song 🙏🙏🙏

[@Mr.Sheffield75]

He's working on a release, so I expect it will be finished at some point.

[@WombatThings]

It better 😤

[@GuitarTabsDaily]

those are called “in the pocket faces” when you’re programming drums. This was straight 🔥🔥🔥

[@ItsDrewsif]

Oh shit that’s my BOY right there

[@SamBrockmann]

I want this to be a full song.

[@an_eternal_hum4647]

"Hey, I wonder if I have time to watch TRT before I head to the gy-.....nope, staying home"

[@alex.charles2]

pro tip from the ATS Intern, watch TRT while doing cardio🤝

[@fatherbear_418]

Unapologetically has happened to be at least 2 times

[@fatherbear_418]

But I did lift last night whilst listening to TRT Season 1 on Spotify 💪🏻😎

[@sahamal_savu]

You flexing bro? haha

[@khonshu6620]

I have worked with Mike. He is crazy talented.

[@adammotter7430]

Posts and clicks within 3 minutes. Who’s with me?

[@TommyGunner0]

Be rude for this not to be a full release surely?

[@randylodder1265]

Dude!!!! Just.......... wow!!!!! I agree..... y'all need to finish this. Fricken epic sounding!!!!

[@ftwinsidia]

hyped on this! controversial pick but A Voice Within is by far my favourite Intervals project.

[@WombatThings]

One of my favorite albums of all time honestly

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Gonna have to agree with you on this one

[@c.j.echave]

Yeah I pretty much stopped listening to Intervals after Mike left.

[@NekBodesh]

MIKE! Love to see my fellow Baltimore boi doing things.

[@VinceMusicianG]

this completed could definitely be a hit

[@sahamal_savu]

I knew I recognized that name, I played the SH!T out of that Haarp Machine album and also enjoyed the Intervals album he did vocals for. Nice choice for a guest 👍

[@cauapaulon167]

That wasn't a Thick Riff Thursday, that was a Thick Masterclass Thursday maah Niiiib, such a surprise to see Mike in this episode, i love his work, my fave by him is Cosmic Metaphisical Verisimilitude with Jarrod Alonge... CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS

[@drivabletoaster417]

When the algo hit me with a 45 minute Nicky B video, I start to believe there is a god after all.

[@memocayuna]

Mike Semesky is AWESOME! Discovered him on Interval’s AVW and he’s been one of my favorites ever since

[@jordanmckee1349]

That fading lead into the post chorus brooooo

[@ForzaSiciliaMusic2]

Amazing episode! Final riff with Mike's vocals is maaasssiiiive 🔥WE NEED THE FULL SONG!!!

[@kyleritter3074]

I'm posting this at 8:41 , so before anything and I'd say it sounds like rivers of nihil. which i love.

[@corneeeey]

Raunchy - watch out has been a song i always go back and listen to. So happy to see this video!

[@sunsetfuzz]

would love the full album

[@vahle420]

The end result is insane 🎉

[@uriionice13]

A thick riff Thursday that's longer than 20 minutes??? Sign me tf up

[@ADAMBLAZEVIC]

Wow, this song, you 2 have to finish this, it is stuck in my head. For the Q&A: I'm kind of trying to write some songs but often times I struggle with a transition or to come up with a new part of the song. How do you tackle these types of roadblocks?

[@nopeno-dv6pv]

love mike so much. miss him in intervals .

[@joshuasplural]

The vocals really bring me back to A voice Within, great work all around from both you and Mike!

[@bigdupolas_guppus]

"its a different kind of heavy" nah bro its just heavy I had a stank face this whole time

[@kylegrossi8175]

This was badass!. But i think we all need an EP now lol!!!! Also, this collaboration and interview format was great. Would like to see this again with other artists.

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Haha thanks dude! Glad you like this format! Definitely will have more on the way!

[@DRJTUBECHANNEL]

What a voice! Great track! Do you release this stuff somewhere? Love your riffs and a big fan now…

[@alex.charles2]

Nick Broomhall wherever you stream your music. The riffs from episodes 1-25 are released on an Ep titled "Thick Riff Sessions Vol. 1"

[@thedutchdjentleman]

If you’re gonna turn this into a full song, I feel like it needs the post chorus riff to be turned into a breakdown (aka, half time the drums, removing the dead notes on the guitar, etc). Loved the video as always!

[@Dustinchugs]

Mike is another prime example of the “Canadians are nice” stereotype 😂 I remember hearing him on the album he did with Intervals and was absolutely blown away

[@PeterCleff]

"In a standard tuning", although technically correct, is hilarious with anything more than 6/7 strings.

[@tragusrock]

The second half was refreshing. A back and forth between to artists.

[@theisaackielofproject3973]

This is so good Mike is such a good vocalist, your conversation about how you approach music was very interesting. as always great stuff man

[@JEDSaje15]

this sounds incredible!!!! I need more of you 2 in my life!

[@DieboldTSZ]

Full version bro this is insane

[@sheenmachine]

Man some screams in the 2nd repeat of the post-chorus would sound so sick

[@Impractical_Engineer]

Girth riff Thursday. The video was a treat.

[@FilipeCanadas]

so sick guys! great thick riff Thursday

[@ARIS4NUBS]

the ending sure could use some heavy screams - SUMMONING SPENCER SOTELO!

[@SIGMA-PHONIC]

Nick I'm new to recording and posting videos. You have inspired me to get back into music. I even went and got a headless guitar bc you look so comfortable and not smacking your headstock on everything 😂 thanks for sharing with us

[@sahamal_savu]

That's funny because I was considering going the other direction, like Dean Lamb with his massive pointy headstock 😂

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Haha that's awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@b3ss443]

FULL TRACK PLEEEEEEEEEASE

[@abethebaebest2950]

Always cooking heat in the kitchen no matter what the theme is, love your vids!

[@an_eternal_hum4647]

Oh damn! Nice work man

[@frankkellymusic]

incredible work here Nick.

[@alexkaminsky210]

Incredible stuff

[@michaeldeane6102]

Awesome shit bro I fuckin love these!!

[@PeterCleff]

I definitely hope to see way more of these. Beautiful!

[@RandomationsYt]

This SLAPS

[@dustinburnette5804]

Nick this was such a cool episode! Really enjoyed hearing your playing with vocals added to them! For the QnA, what volumes do you typically track at when recording guitar, bass, and drums to keep from clipping on the output?

[@MatheusFantoni16]

This is awesome dude. Keep doing it. 🤍🏄🏼‍♂️🇧🇷

[@matt6288joyce]

I am so glad you’ve done this! I hope this is the first of many vocal guests!

[@bolillo5013]

Sick

[@user-wj7ot7jc7u]

Dooooood! Goosebumps!

[@corneeeey]

Man this is so good. I still repeat the melody in my mind!

[@TheButcher0fBlaviken]

With those vocals it gives me really huge Termina vibes

[@jmaaybraak]

Dude, one of ur best. It's very atmospherically dark stuff, but still so heavy. Well done man!

[@joeymeehan5454]

It was awesome hearing you guys talk about your creative processes together. Great chorus and great dogs too!

[@moiseshaskins3031]

Would love to hear this as a full song. So dope dood!

[@trummtrummtraktikitak]

id categorize this like: doom doom doom doom dum dum

[@Sound0432]

I can't express how much pride I had for you in watching this series, your channel, and your talent progress over just two years. Keep it up and Happy Holidays ❤

[@purpl3882]

I love this, the part after the chorus grooooves so hard

[@StarWarsRumors]

That was pretty cool.

[@thefuse03101]

This is so awesome dude. After hearing these cleans, i didnt realize how much clean vocals he did with Raunchy. Always thought it was the keyboardist doing them all.

[@riolee-ribas976]

this is giving tesseract vibes

[@batbeardscs]

Just casually mentions that his wife plays bass and sings…maybe she could collab on a TRT?!

[@cristiangomez7147]

got to finish this.

[@brianjohnston1770]

Some major he is legend feels so far

[@GrootGuitar]

Stupidly epic. 🤘🦖

[@tragusrock]

Hey dude, since stumpling onto channel, I have been a weekly watcher. You make it look so easy. I like the newer split screen view. Thanks for your content!

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Thanks for the support! Glad that view works better than the old pic in pic version!

[@dekhruel]

Oh damn a new Raunchy!!!!!!

[@kadensabourin2571]

Hey Nick! Huge fan, you inspire me every day to continue working on my projects and constantly give me new ideas. Just a question, if you could collaborate with any artist out there right now, who would it be? Keep it up Nick! :)

[@orbital486]

Very cool and interesting. Hoping that Raunchy release a new album next year.

[@rodrigordacruz]

Dude, we need you to release an album. Please! Hahaha Awesome work!

[@adamvictor7492]

I genuinely look forward to these every week, it's so inspiring and has really helped me with my own music as well. For the QnA i was wondering since you said you mainly use your 8 strings as 7 strings why not just get s 7 string, is there any real reason or do you just prefer how the 8 string feels. Alternatively i was wondering if you have ever considered using archetype Rabea Massad, i absolutely love it and use it for my main plugin, i think you could do something really cool with synth, anyway keep up the amazing work :)

[@dongfangyuan1233]

Q&A Question: One of my favorite things about these riffs you put out is the drums, did you/ do you play drums? If not, how did you go about learning to program them (like how you write them, not literally how to program drums in a DAW)? They are usually my biggest bottleneck when writing music and I'd love to learn more about your process.

[@nathanmorphett8310]

It's that DBZ 100x gravity kinda heavy

[@eemelimakela9362]

Damn these riffs remind me so much like Atlas, if you havent listened to them I HIGHLY suggest you do so. Hands down one of the best Finnish bands out there rn!

[@easton_ography]

Dude i know I'm a little late to comment on this video but I've been following you for like 10 years on soundcloud and now here. I can't believe how far you've come and that you had the opportunity to with with someone like Mike 🤯 AVW is by far my favorite intervals album. I saw them a couple months ago and it's just not as cool without Mike 😢

[@calebmolenda9588]

Question for next week: what do you do when you get in a rut when writing drums?

[@Savagewoodworker]

Reminds me of psychosphere by periphery. Which is sick. Mikes singing is killer as well. Fits the riff awesome. Very EPIC

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

Good comp!

[@tusharjamwal]

Go slow and chug low is also my formula for heavy xD

[@rileydavis3690]

doooooooommmm

[@ETHVN_AtNoAvail]

9:42 That intro is so trudgy. Like it gives me “…and then she bled” vibes or old school whitechapel. Best comparison I can think of, it hits that gut punch feel

[@Abrazzi.Gaming]

Found the "like" button, but where's the "love" button? ❤

[@NegativeChaos93]

Big fan! I discovered your channel a month or so ago and have been excited for Thursday ever since. For the Q&A: I've been writing music for years, but only recently have I been able to record. I feel like I'm getting a grasp on mixing volume levels, but EQing and mastering still confuses me. What are some tips or resources I could use to improve and make my music sound like it does in my head?

[@Groteploscky]

What inspires you the most at the moment of writing music? We know we are out of ideas some days, but how do you do it? What is the trigger for you to keep yourself writing music? I love your videos, man! Greetings from Argentina!

[@PeterCleff]

For Q&A. Do you have any advice for aspiring internet content creators? Specifically in regards to staying motivated. Great video!!!

[@Buttface1981]

The drum face is just ole' 'stank' face. We all do it at some point lol

[@robertnkleby3550]

I would love to know what chair you use! Looks very comfortable! New to your vids btw and awesome stuff! Keep it up!

[@braydengrieve3383]

Q to be A'd: has the weekly video release schedule significantly adjusted the time spent on other aspects of your studio? It sounds like you have a great team, but weekly videos at this level of quality must eat up hours of your time and potentially anyone else helping with audio / video

[@bricebuccolo3390]

Rest Among Ruins dropped one of the best prog metalcore albums then disappeared 🥲

[@daarkshadow8]

Im extremely jealous of your kiesels. 😢 one day ill get one maybe… that new pink one you got is my dream guitar

[@miguellamar6748]

I hear this as The Faceless heavy

[@tusharjamwal]

A vibrato in volume is called tremolo btw xD thanks papa fender to forever mess that up for us

[@metalmoto3275]

How and what do you add to your drums to make them sound so damn good
