Modern Day Babylon - INFINITY /// Skervesen 4AP FF8 ///

[@alexander_J1]

9 years later this shit still rips, I remember melting into another dimension the first time I heard it. This will stick with me into the next life. Thank you for being you.

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

Prophetically said. I love the atmosphere that this guy creates. It’s definitely super unique, even compared to all the other djent/prog metal there is

[@wyattstevens6226]

Yes. It does haha.

[@GonnaGetYouBoi]

LOL

[@ThorsShadow]

Man, I remember first listening to this song all these years ago. Just got it in my recommendations again. Thanks KZbin algorithm. And thanks Modern Day Babylon for creating beautiful music. Back then and now.

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

Me here again after 9 years... The life is going away... fast.

[@Naengdam]

11 years now and can't even believe it's been over a decade and then some. How times have changed!

[@Lateralusaint.]

It really runs. Things worth mentioning on the other side. Good music.

[@666Ninjosiah666]

Nearly 10 years since i first saw this and i still love it

[@user-qu1xe5jn7f]

Oh man, I'll never forget hearing this album for the first time. My friends and I were fucking stunned. No words spoken the whole time we listened. We just shut our drunk traps up and sat in amazement as this absolute masterpiece of an album unfolded. So many memorable licks, riffs, and sections. 2:08-4:23. Simply incredible composition and execution.

[@ZomBLord]

The clean bit in the middle sounds almost like something Buckethead would write.

[@MrGolden43]

This is THE djentiest djent my djenty djent ears have ever djheard.

I know it's a guitar playthrough and the dj0ntiness is very g00d but let's take a minute to appreciate how audible the bass is. Said by a guitar player.

[@DeeBeeDee]

3:23 gets me EVERY FUCKING TIME.

[@kawaiirunnersdriftclub]

3:21 for me...

[@EvilDuck5000]

This is where the song really begins for me. D;

[@blackbird7156]

[@TheDamageIncorporate]

Holy crap, I started headbanging at the "drop", without even realizing it. That's when music's good, it tells you what to do and you just do it.

[@TC9700Gaming]

That was insane!

[@adrian5190]

I just love that lick at 2:51

[@jred3806]

This song is timeless

[@wonfuego]

the way that string flops around gets me all excited.

[@PunkCheVara]

Why are people arguing about originality, this song hasnt been writing by anyone else but this guy. and, why are people nowadays only interested in technicality or being able to pull off super complex shit on guitar? we came for the music, the music so happens to be good. Sop ranting, Enjoy that shit!

[@kevinbasel8401]

The music isn't good man... Isn't about technic but honestly play a drop chord all the time doesn't make it nicer... No melody here and not need complex pulloff or stuff to do it

[@shannonmccarthy7094]

@@kevinbasel8401 someone has no idea how complex this track and album and band realy is. 2 years late, but chuuu missed out my friend.

[@kevinbasel8401]

@@shannonmccarthy7094 It’s not about how much complex a song is. It’s just sounds too much “dropped” to me (and I think to other too). If I want I could cover this song for you (for a friend) but I honestly will never go to a concert like this. (Pulloffs-hammerons-fast tricks-‘70/‘80 metal sounds much better and melodic to my hears)

[@shannonmccarthy7094]

@@kevinbasel8401 do it!

[@kevinbasel8401]

@@shannonmccarthy7094 If I will, will you recognize that what I’m saying is true or will you just want to waste my time? Its also said how you evaluate a song by its technical difficulty rather than its melody. If you like that way, I can also show you lot of songs that are 100 times more difficult than this.

[@amirtak9886]

Almost 10 years and I still listen to this.

[@brandon-built]

I'm always coming back to this video. INFINITY has got to be my favorite track of yours. Can't wait for new material!

[@natec2]

i still cannot get enough of this

[@vowsofwolves3526]

The first ever Djent song I heared three years ago. You got me into this movment with this incredible song, it changed my conception of music forever. Thank you

[@subsume7904]

Still one of my favorite songs of all time. It just goes so hard.

Best djent joke I've ever heard

[@0stringking0]

I love how the frame rate in cameras reacts with the vibration of the lower strings. Looks beautiful when it rings out

[@RECTmetal]

This playthrough gave me mad feels, all the thall, that top string flapping in the wind like a loose whore. Feels bro, feels.

[@raymartinez5389]

Ahaha

[@IDeathMetal58]

The ambidjence goes hard in this one.

[@RomeoLacoste]

great song and video! much love. will deff see you when you come to LA. keep it up! youre my fav instrumental djent for sure

[@tannenchase3008]

for some reason it always gives me a sense of satisfaction seeing strings oscillate more than they typically do (like in the cartoons)

[@scarax146]

3:22 gets me EVERY TIME

[@belugaprincessofficial]

The way his right hand almost rotates to pick is so weird but so satisfying

[@joeymoehlenkamp1097]

This song should be played on the brink of war when humans create their own factions this will be the final song of humanity this is insane

[@IndividuumNot]

this song still gives me the shivers like every fucking time iam listening. sooo powerful!

3:23 - SICK GROOVING MY BRAINS OUT

That top string is ridiculous.

[@brandenkhan15]

You have a great sense of feel and atmosphere. I get goosebumps listening to this.

[@MateoBakija]

I love this! So original, you can't hear such music and melodic phrasing by any other band nowadays. And that vibrato is so admirable and mesmerizing. I only wish he used the 8th string a little bit more and tuning was too high for my taste. I'm sure I will come to listen this again because the catchy melodies stuck in my head now.

[@colemcnair5752]

The tuning was too high?

[@MateoBakija]

[@thegodphreaker]

Whats the tuning? Amazing playing

[@stenmartens7179]

haven't had an 8 string for some time now, but its either Drop E or EAEADGBe

[@yodaadoy2863]

I would say drop E

[@AngirasDarbha]

Drop D#

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

Drop Eb or D# as some would say, a half step down from 8 string drop E

great musicianship, i wish i could play with you im a drummer and your right up my alley and what im lookin to play.

[@qwinchii]

Look at that string flop at 1:39 onward. That tuning is low as shit haha.

[@ModernDayBabylon]

it's just shutter speed of a camera(only on canon 5D, not on other shots of Nikon) that causes this wobble... check out the music video elitist - caves there is the same problem ...

[@slehlasezem]

TheStrayShot I wouldn't really call it a problem, looks cool;)

[@martinr7728]

Dadgummit twistuh it makes the video look awesome as shit for any band

[@kzrrz]

Dadgummit twistuh It also has to do with how the camera is set up to record, but still, playing an 8 string even at standard F# is low as fuck.
