LISTENING TO MY BAND'S FIRST DEMO

[@DiscordCurse]

My friend Patrick and I were listening to Bleed The Future when it first came out and he had a seizure. We always joked that you guys just played so fast it made him seize lol. He passed away May this year. It feels like forever and yesterday. When I went to see you guys a couple months after he passed in MN when I walked in Wesley Willis was playing on the pa. That was one of Patricks favorites to make me laugh with. I know he was there at the show with us. Thank you for the memories. Both to you Dean and Schmitty❤

[@yungplague5534]

This is crazy

[@DroneCorpse]

this hit me like a truck. keep your homies close

[@kackman1950]

I'm really sorry for your loss, my friend.

[@MangoOverload91]

Sorry to hear your friend passed, man. Unfortunately, as we get older, it only gets more frequent. It never gets easier. Love and peace

[@voidofhope6259]

Not gonna lie, that Every Black Minute stuff sounds pretty fuckin dope to me. You’ve done well to honor your friend Dean.

[@Shredder-KJ]

Yeah I agree I thought it was pretty good 😌

[@jasonYFinnishCanadian]

I enjoy your videos. I was part of Every Black Minute for a short very short while, I did vocals at a few shows back at the very beginning. RIP Joe Porter he was a good guy! He was a big In Flames fan he got that black Gibson Les Paul just like the guitarist from In Flames. I’m sad I missed the funeral. I’ve always looked back and enjoyed the time I had hanging out with Joe.

[@roach5606]

i did vocals for them for 3 shows in 2008

[@jasonYFinnishCanadian]

I think we started Every Black Minute in end of 2006. I miss the feeling of being a monster on stage hyping the crowd, but making it my career wasn’t meant to be. I enjoyed it, but would not trade the life I’ve built for it.

[@DeanLamb]

Hey fellas! I must have just missed you guys lol. Hope you're all doing good.

[@jasonYFinnishCanadian]

@@DeanLamb highly unlikely you play a show in Fernie, BC, but next time you play a show in the Calgary area I’ll try and make it out.

[@jasonYFinnishCanadian]

@@DeanLamb @DeanLamb your totally right about Joe being driven and dedicated couple good stories: I remember driving to Abbotsford from Chilliwack to practice at Dan Yakimkos during a blizzard he was insistent on going didn't want to miss practice. It was a sketchy drive but we made it. One time coming back from practice he ran out of gas right at Evan's rd on Hwy 1 he didn't have money to fill up but wasn't gonna miss practice I didn't know this until we ran out. Vehicle sat for a while we made a couple calls, but Joe tried the ignition again and it fired up we made it to a gas station and literally rolled into the station. Good on you for making this video.

[@EvanIcosian]

As someone who grew up going to shows in Chilliwack, I saw Every Black Minute quite a few times! Pretty wild hearing this stuff again

[@jasonYFinnishCanadian]

The good old days. Shows at the Fairfield Rotary Hall!

[@julianmorgan8536]

@@jasonYFinnishCanadianoh man! Haven’t heard that name in a while. I remember seeing Fall In Archea there. Blast from the past.

[@Pickswitch]

Me too!

[@JoshuaMRichard]

Nice homage to your homie, Joe. He obviously had an impact on the person you became in regards to your current band. Thanks for sharing, Dean.

[@Got-My-GED-on-Social-Media]

Hearing this just shows that you were a guitarist born for greatness. Damn you guys were tight for being young.

[@cheesofile666]

I would’ve loved this ep back in the 00’s dude! Joe sounds like a great guy. An enterprising person like that is always good to have around in your ’formative’ years. RIP.

[@johnnygotgrowls]

This is a fantastic video and a great tribute. We’ve lost a lot of good musicians locally recently but I’m thankful they all left some pretty great music behind to listen to fondly

[@TheMotherSeal]

My sincere condolences Dean, I'm sorry for your loss.

[@elimcfly350]

Sorry to hear about your friend. On the positive side, this is a cool concept for a vid, going over your old stuff and seeing what you'd change today. Cool vid.

[@non_brewed_condiment]

Sorry to hear about your friend RIP. this is a nice way to remember him

[@niheall49]

As soon as you started track 3 I thought ‘very Mastodony’ then you said Mastodon straight away. Crazy how many people have been influenced by them and their sound for so long. Long live Mastodon! ❤

[@grimg0r]

rest in peace Joe ❤this was a great video to watch, i love seeing bands show a more vulnerable side of their lives. this really showed how much he meant to you

[@themotioncodemarc]

My condolences. 💐 Listening to first albums is a trip eh? Mine was no where near that good was a total mess but it still gives me good feeling of how far it affected me for future years playing in a variety of bands. Such good vibes Hope you guys are doing well! Happy holidays from the east coast. 🤘 Marc

[@shawnandonandon]

Joe was an amazing dude, he introduced me to you when I was living there back in 2010 ish. Thanks for this ❤

[@devilsnevercry7]

Thanks for sharing, lovely memory, take care man🫶🏼

[@oldmetalguy4577]

It's amazing how many years can go by but the music brings you right back to that time and those people, in an instant. Great video.

[@DerekHen]

@7:56 “we are going on a journey dude” 😂

[@P.dripps92]

Sorry for your loss.. I gotta say this band rips

[@Aetheretic]

Great video to honour your friend Dean. Now that I'm in my 30s, and after losing my Dad to cancer, I'm noticing a lot of people in my life getting sick, or passing away. Mostly my Dad's friends and band members, (he was the singer in a Judas Priest/Black Sabbath cover band called Winterkill). They were the biggest cover band in Edmonton, Alberta in the late 80s, early 90s. The Neuraxis mention took me back a bit. I remember seeing the album cover to The Thin Line Between, thought it looked cool and downloaded some of their songs of off Limewire. I thought Neuraxis was such a sick band. First tech-death band I ever heard, before I knew tech-death was even a thing. I bought the album shortly after and was enamored with it. Played it in my Dad's truck a lot, (he loved metal, showed me Opeth when I was 13). Much different from anything I've ever heard at the time, and kinda still is. I love Asylon too, bought the album as soon as it came out, and bought a Thin Line Between zip up hoodie I still have and cherish. I still have The Thin Line Between on display on my album shelf, along with a number of albums that shaped my childhood. I wish they didn't break up, Asylon is an amazing album, and I thought they were just getting better.

[@FadyenRS]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. This was a nice tribute.. it's good to remember that even when someone is gone the influence they had on your life stays with you.

[@GearStuffandThings]

This was a blast to watch. Condolences on your loss, friend

[@corpsefiendriffs]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Dean. This video is a beautiful homage to your dear friend. I'm sure he would be proud!

[@millerbeer01]

Sorry my friend.RIP to that fellow and hugs to his family.

[@Ithyphallics]

Those growls with the low gain chords at the end of Bysmarck is pretty sick

[@PBRivard]

8:39 Circle of Cysquatch haha. Love that you're super open about where the riffs come from and call yourself out.

[@eleintblood]

Very endearing video. Not bad for your first record, Dean! Also, RIP Joe. To the long-lasting influence of friends.

[@aaronbartlett9565]

Beautiful way to pay homage to your friend. Sorry for your loss bro

[@-woobies-]

That was fun AND somber, man. I can relate, long live Joe! There’s usually one in every band, but rarely do they find each other. And when they [do], the outcome is usually totally magic.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

RIP Joe 🕊🤍 Cool vocals and logo.

[@dokidokideathproof]

I was expecting this to suck really bad but you guys were really good, definitely amazing for the timeframe the band was from.

[@joshtaylor6086]

As musicians, we are lucky to have these recordings from our past. They are more than just music. They are windows that allow us to remember. Friends, good times, influences and all the things that make us what we have and will become. It is sad that your friend has passed. But, with this recording, you get to relive all the good stuff. Peace, brother.

[@dangorski2975]

very sorry for your loss sir! excellent video in his memory.

[@rolypolyyy]

This Kiesel has always been my favorite of your collection. Burl 8 string with dark hardware looks fantastic

[@StyL0s_]

You guys played with Nylithia. Another Vancouver forgotten gem!

[@mtodd]

Sorry for your loss. ❤️

[@Fatsatan]

Dude that stuff is pretty cool, there’s nothing wrong with any of those songs! Being a musician myself for 45 years i understand how you feel when you listen to old stuff you wrote and played, I’m always overly critical aboot it too 🤘

[@JTGuitarO_O]

Sorry for the loss of your friend/bandmate Dean The demo sounds sickkkkkk though 🤘😎🤘

[@mstrasser]

Awesome video (and sorry for the loss). Track 2, getting big Leper Affinity vibes from that intro. Also, "Benthic Liege" sounds like it could have been an epic album closer!

[@gorefest9939]

I know this channel is dedicated to guitar, but i really dig what the drummer did on that EP. Sorry to hear about the loss of a former bandmate. Hello from Belgium

Sad to see a friend and bandmate pass away, that ep was really fun to listen, kudos to that, really fun death metally stuff.

[@iwearvelcroshoez]

Dude, this EP sounds amazing! RIP Joe. It sounds like you were a cool dude.

[@lolPaperclip]

I remember seeing you guys at the McCallum activity Center with First Reign headlining

[@elgroocho5780]

Hey I remember that too! 🤘

[@nickdaniels1321]

Man I loved this so much, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I have a similar story so this resonated hard with me. Hopefully you don't mind if I share: I was in a band in high school with my buddy Petey. He was a great guy, always so nice and funny. Unfortunately, life took us in much different paths over the years and we kinda fell out of touch. But even after all that time without fail he would still come out of the woodwork and show support for everything that I did musically every time I posted new stuff. He passed in 2017, I won't get into details but it was a true tragedy. Especially if you knew him for as long as I did, the guy had been through so much. We made a few demos together around 2007-08 which we posted on myspace. We really loved Born of Osiris at the time and were lucky enough to record with their keyboardist Joe in his basement for our second demo. The only place I still had our demos when he passed away was on my old ipod from high school, which I hadn't used in years. Fortunately I borrowed some cables and a dvd burner from my job at the time and I successfully was able rip our demos off the old ipod to burn some cds for our friends, just like the old days, to give to his family and our friends. Hearing those songs after he passed was really something. I still think about a lot, and see his parents once every few years. Man, what great times, push on and prosper in honor of our fallen brothers. Keep on keeping on Dean. 🤘

[@michaelmessina5341]

I lost 2 of my friends 6 months apart 2 years ago. They were both brothers and loved metal. One played drums and the other was the guitar player in a band called Resurrection. I know how hard it is to say goodbye to friend.

Beautiful tribute to your late bandmate, Dean

[@DroneCorpse]

sorry for your loss

[@Sefhen]

Saddened to hear about your friend, I'm also born in '86 and also have lost friends, old and new, to various things. Cool way for you to remember him by going through your old stuff. This stuff sounds pretty decent.

[@WeIsDaTyrantz]

Damn, Neuraxis. Weirdly one of the first bands to get me into tech death despite being super obscure even during their active period. Shame they never did anything after Asylon because that's a v underrated album in terms of voice and style.

[@yoyojoe22]

The vocalist is in a new band called fracturus. They're really good

[@KingOfBlood217]

This was a cool trip down memory lane to take! Some cool older riffs

[@daved2352]

There is no feeling like listening to music you made with a friend who's no longer with us. I lost a friend in 2020 and occasionally listen to the demos we wrote as a side thing from our respective bands in like 2015 and it's such a weird mix of feelings.

[@boxcpl]

Love the intro on circle of cysquatch, worth ripping

[@matttaylor1449]

I liked the last song the most. Pretty cool melodies in the beginning.

[@dfree2764]

Thank you, Dean 🖤

[@AoLIronmaiden]

Whoa lol, I wanna listen to the EP now 🤯

[@dwaynemorgan1]

Man, this brings me back! I also had no idea Joe passed away! I had a hard time paying attention to the rest of the video after you said that. He was a solid dude.

[@TimSpaw1leg]

Went through my old band "Cauterized" album about a month ago, just to have a listen to some old stuff and a chuckles.. It's pretty much the same reaction you had with your band... Cauterized was late 90s early 2000s so VHS, cassettes and CDs is all I have... Our old producer put them on KZbin some odd years ago... through every song, it just got more and more technical.. yoy can see this progression in 1 album.. I'm a bassist, and been playing death metal/Tech Death since 92 or 93.. It wasn't called "Tech Death" back then.. back in those days it was Death Metal and Grindcore. We just wanted to be more technical than Suffocation and more brutal than GG Allin or Deicide hahaha.. Fun stuff.. I like watching musicians go through the old bands.. it's actually really inspiring.. and funny at times.. My condolences to your band mate.. sucks man.. had a few go off to Valhalla myself..

[@DrumlessPracticeLoops]

I remember EVERY SINGLE one of these songs

[@DeanLamb]

😂

[@Pauligrinder]

Damn, those were some pretty cool songs. That's about the level of technical I prefer tbh - just generally it's focusing more on being brutal and evil sounding than technical, and then it had some proggy parts thrown in which is also cool. And the vocalist sounds awesome. I tend to go back to my old compositions (which are all Guitar Pro tabs) and just wonder where all the weird stuff came from . Some of it is really interesting because I guess I didn't know how to do things, so it's just really outside the box.

[@chatrick203]

Sorry for your loss brother

It's really fun to hear you talk about not knowing where old music you helped write is going. Have you listened to Archspire? Talk about not knowing where we're going! RIP Joe. He's probably pretty pumped that you're still pushing the envelope.

Dean, you absolute fucking Chad.

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

I remember as a kid, playing a "battle of the bands" in my local town. The quality was abysmal (apart from one guy who was considered a local legend for being able to sweep pick). Bear in mind, I grew up in the boonies of Northern Ireland. Anyway, long story short, we got paid like 40 pounds for the whole band, and there was 3 of us. 15 years old, it felt like a monumental moment. Someone had actually compensated us for our effort, even if it was essentially a token gesture. You brought back that memory. I miss those times, and those guys.
