Dude, you killed this!

Thanks dudes! The tones from the plugin made up for the lack of alien-like technical proficiency ;)

That was sick! And you definitely nailed the AAL sound.

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Thanks man!

[@hakametal]

I feel like we're witnessing the New Wave of Australian Heavy Metal. It's a golden age for Aussie metal right now, so much insane talent coming out.

[@ebgbees]

Your channel is the perfect mix of education, entertainment, and some of the tastiest riffs known to humankind.

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Thank you dude! I try my best to make it all of those things

[@deerco1]

The more song writing vids are a must.

[@richmit7154]

and now this is the new single, amazing how a demo can turn out because you had a song missing to complete your live set lol

[@bryce1073]

One of my favorite guitarists making music like my favorite band. This is wonderful. Thank you, Keyan!

[@Tobi-hu9mf]

feels like AAL, spiritbox, and your own unique style had a kid, and it was beautiful. excellent work, would be happy to see more of these in the future

[@Kieron12354]

i've loved seeing this channel grow, even over the past few months man!

[@vallabhsivaprasad]

That clean sections sounds so good kinda reminds me of the verse from secret garden

[@kylesandersmusic]

Damnnn the end result sounded INSANE!! Such an entertaining and insightful video dude, love your stuff!

[@Sanjayfoi]

Dude! You are awesome ❤️🤟🤟

[@DustinMatos]

Sick man! Great composition and lesson! You definitely nailed the AAL vibe.

[@urba.sonzogni]

I love this type of videos because it shows how much work goes into writing something. With social media and short video format we often forget that behind something that is 30 seconds long or a minute, there is a lot of work. Please, do more!

[@oskargotowski]

The song you wrote was just insane! Make it to full version 🔥😍

[@joshuatiley4298]

Smashing it Keyan. Smashing it.

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Thanks Josh!

[@vatsalprasad9059]

SO. FFFFF. GOOD! That's it, was holding back spending on Patreon, but this video does it. Been watching you since the beginning and you have my full support. You're THE most relatable guitarist of YT for me. Love from Sydney!

[@vallabhsivaprasad]

WE NEED MORE COMPOSING AND SONGWRITING VIDEOS FROM YOU PLEASE (also did i catch the QC in the background?)

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Yes, that is a QC

Amazing vid! And congrats for Mishas’ reacting your videos!!!!

If I wasn't looking at the screen and knew it was you playing I would've thought this was and Animals as Leaders song. Well Done, you smashed it!

[@PaulKingMetal]

Dude, it was awesome! Well done😉👍

[@HoshiFanatic]

Holy shit this is amazing.

[@ravenhart8361]

Nailed the feel of the guitar. Drums are a close representation but not quite Animals. Great composition and performance overall!

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Matt is too crazy, I tried my best but I just can’t emulate him hahahaha

[@routesgranulated]

Yesss! This is wicked dude! It’s nice to finally see a fellow Aussie kicking it with Archetype Abasi. You’ve earned a sub man 😄🤘🏻

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Excellent work! I can tell you had fun with this 😄

[@agemeliaris9604]

Dude awesome job , You nailed it!!!

[@asizeablebear]

Holy FUCK dude. Slayed it. It's got that AAL vibe but still feels like you. Big kudos.

[@artemiybzhedugov7034]

Great job, seriously. Especially the "thump" part haha

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

Bro always kills it

[@antoniovillela9091]

holy shit keyan. u're a god man. u definitely should definitely should do more videos composing. ps: tosin probably will steal this riffs 🤣

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Thanks for watching dude!

[@BLADEOUTDATOMB]

[@Sinisterbvnny]

Nice, dude! Definitely more of these videos would be awesome! 🤘

[@finlet3874]

that bit you played around 5:25 reminds me of Loathe, really sick!

[@apoplexiamusic]

awesome tune and even more awesome guitar!!

[@dubberpelnea74]

This is so next level

[@guilhermekaltenbacher]

FABULOUS!!!!

[@indigoakaben]

As a major AAL fan and a new fan of yours... this is phenomenal.

[@LunatiqueRob]

It would be interesting to also see how you approach drum programming and any other instruments that's not guitar when used in a track.

[@tmg5214]

Excellent. Thanks man.

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Thank you!

[@dorlandt2]

Holy crap dude, insane production!!! And it did remind me of animals so bad! Im a few days in to producing progressive metal (still got a long way to go) but since i found your channel, you helped me to create some decent sounds!! Thank you for that, ill be sticking around!🙏🏾

[@Antonio-11101]

Great stuff, dude! Also, sweet solo!!

[@garrettsodroskymusic]

This is so dope dude!

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Cheers Garrett!

[@Marta1Buck]

This can be a comedy and I couldn't even laugh on how accurate it is. You nailed it.

[@thesquillyexperience9442]

this really does sound like ammos as leaders. I really felt inspired by this one

[@AscentToZenith]

Damn dude you’re so talented. No joke you play like one the guitarist in the age of modem metal bands. You should do an EP

[@rogues1370]

Nice one mate!

[@AbsenceWithin]

Have you upgraded your filming setup in addition to the colored lights because the visuals look great! Love this style of video and the song turned out sick as well!

[@sevn9562]

Now that was sick af!!

[@birdznyamz]

Really like the inside look of the writing process. Great video, and the percussive clean riff was tits.

[@Asyouwere]

I like the song on its own, I don’t know if it’s a AAL song, but I definitely like to hear more of the Keyan style songs! Great job.

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Thanks man! I might do these more often

[@Asyouwere]

@@KeyanHoushmandLive You’re a legend, looking forward to hear more of you.

[@luciferMorningstar666_____]

[@djandrewification]

This feels like a loathe meets AAL vibe

[@BrettFairchild]

sounds great

[@jackevansevo]

You nailed it

[@davidegiancane]

Yeah man, you nailed it! I'm very interested in watching video like that in the future. You might introduce us into your own songwriting workflow...it would be great!

[@franciscopizzani9943]

Sick man love it !! You need to learn theory ,because you have all the potencial

[@Intake124]

So sick dude

[@RaemusGuitar]

Killer track! I know it's a different genre but it gave me similar vibes to a Feodor Dosumov track where he's demoing a new Ibanez guitar. Lovely work 😊👍🏼

[@yardy88]

This is actually sick

[@lobito81799]

Actually nailed it

[@TeaspoonUlysses]

Nailed it.

[@armandobravo4L]

So much wow very fire absolutely nailed it time for me to go practice now haha

[@ShadoW_one_woman_band]

Thank you a lot for the videos it is really helpful :) Keep going on your nice work. Much respect for your work :) ShadoW.

[@kshitijk14]

u wrote a sick ass song dude! 🔥

[@raj4myo]

The percussive section kinda sounds like a merge between tosin's selective picking etude and Mike Stringer's percussive section in Secret Garden. Love the track dude. More composition videos would be great!

[@sillyness3456]

That solo sounded so much like Paul Wardingham. That was amazing.

[@cxrmelo_]

This was fucking great man! Nailed it!

[@DK-jk8xz]

This was sick mang

[@nuke97]

Well done.

[@TheRedAnvil40]

11:15 - 12:00 could be Animals as Leaders perfectly. This was good AF.

[@damonthompson6879]

Naaaaaaasty. Love this dude.

[@cody_mize3221]

i'm definitely late to the party, but starting my 8 string journey today

[@jeffneiman4635]

Killer as always dude! Consider setting up a light high and behind you as a backlight. It will help separate you from your background and prevent you from looking like you're falling into the void, haha!

[@kingnary9th688]

tbf, he did explain why it’s not backlit or anything, did you catch that part? haha

[@floridaboy9641]

The end section of that song is fooookin heavy

[@danthemanmillan]

insane!!

[@nikiangelov3997]

Not gonna lie, i didn't think you can do it. Not only was i proven wrong but now i'm kinda obsessed with this little tune!

[@marcocarnaghi294]

After this, I have zero excuses to not to try to writting something in the style of AAL, because of my shitty thumping abilities haha Actually, that section was my favorite

[@MrDushelove]

man, it almost turned out if the first reef wasn't so obviously similar to tosin's reef, literally rewriting the first reef would be cool

[@trebone9067]

Epic.

[@Hamydrz]

Pashmammmm🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@KreatorOfDeath1985]

Oh shit bro I was full on head banging to this shit. Hell yea

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

I’m glad!

[@michaelsaporito271]

Definitely dig the writing session type videos. Also, now I need an 8 string? 🤯

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

Ah cooool. "Im just gonna refine this" 5 hours later....

[@anthonyflores2651]

sounds a lot like the song of the soloman by tosin!

[@justevan877]

Now I wait for archetype plini 2.0

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

I’d love to do a Plini style song next, if that ever becomes a thing

[@Acepilot1312]

Awesome Keyan! Absolutely nailed it! By the way, what Ibanez 8 string is this? :D

[@stephenmosher641]

Yeah, is that an 8-string S style?

[@baraldobumpa3447]

Sounds like OG Animals As Leaders
