Drumcam from Dark Funerals concert at Blastfest, Bergen. Friday 20.02.2015.

[@arturm.4496]

After almost 6 years watching drumcams on KZbin, I've decided to create an account just to comment this truly out-of-this-world-performance. Not human.

[@ilakresfengsel]

Haha, great. This is truly mind-blowing stuff...

[@aMessIam1]

I grew up with this dude and hanged around his first band Pathos. Lived like 100 meters from him and could hear him practise every day! Hell yeah Nils Fjällström! You made it, ofcourse!

[@These_go_to_eleven_1959]

What did he practice 10 hours a day? sounds like it!

[@aMessIam1]

@@These_go_to_eleven_1959 Give or take. Plus with all of his bands..

if you talk to him often, tell him im watching him from acapulco, mexico! im his fan and im left drummer too!

Everyone who likes playing on drums gonna smile through whole the track!

[@sirbattlecat]

Unless they're not into metal, in which case they'll complain about his lack of groove.

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

AbandonedCorpse so true , because it’s cool to see s.o. Beeng so much into Music and Drums

[@SarahAParis]

My favorite drummer, Nils Fjellström!🤘🤘😍Love this guy.. He's amazing!

[@Camelworks]

What an absolute beast! I've seen some shit in my days, but when I saw them play at Wacken in 2012... I witnessed the most ferocious, accurate and fast live drumming. Jaw dropping.

[@eckinoxyt]

Javier Merino he was X) he did a break few years ago,but he played at Wacken with DF and it was really insane

[@Mustis1524]

What makes you think that? Nils did play with Dark Funeral in 2012. He has been their only drummer ever since Matte Modin quit in 2007. Nils momentarily quit the band in 2010 but was back in 2011 but he has played with them since.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

You should check out Ulcerate then ;)

just Dominator things :D

The grin after the fill tops it all

[@borknagarpopinga4089]

The Best Drummer Ever

[@matiassebastianponcef.3689]

I play drums as a hobby from almost twenty years, only Black Metal and I never see such drummer / musician as is Nils. He Is the best for far....

Fucking hell, I can barely go that fast with TWO hands! Dominator, you're a fucking god.

it's pretty common to play like that when you're in a black metal band actually..

[@Hhhlll7778]

Ida Kongensøy Actually it isnt...Nils is on his own level

[@idakongensy6355]

well then you haven't heard much black metal drummers lol

[@Hhhlll7778]

Ida Kongensøy 🤔

[@Mustis1524]

Nils is undoubtedly in a league of his own. Yes, I absolutely think that commonly mention drummers like Trym, Hellhammer, Frost and Nicholas Barker all pale in comparison to Nils. I'm yet to hear anything from any other black metal drummer that would make me doubt that for even a millisecond.

[@littlebear2477]

For this as an on tour video is remarkable the speed ,stamina and power . All Hail Dominator !

[@behemoth9920]

gotta love your videos great quality!!

[@rob666lee]

great technique man love it

[@fernandosanlorenzo3051]

Una bestialidad absoluta!!!!!!

[@Peatman]

Remember when this album came out in 1996 and Equimanthorn's drumming was just unfuckingbelievable? Well, the bar has been raised several times since then in metal drumming land, and as monstrously impressive as this guy is, I kind of miss those days when there were absolute black metal pioneers that put a lot of brutal physicality into their playing. Now, in part thanks to KZbin's myriad of instructional videos, surgically precise extremely fast drummers are a dime a dozen.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Exactly, this is why guys like Alex Rudinger don't impress me that much. Too clinical, like if you're gonna be precise and clean, be tasty, powerful and flashy like this guy and Jamie Saint Merat

[@rot_studios]

Dream Theater is a good example of this. They went from a drummer with a lot of groove and feel to one of the most clinical and precise drummers there is. It all sounds so lifeless now :( It's all very impressive on a technical standpoint, but it stops being art.

[@acidbrewmatt4781]

Completely unrelated to the awesome drumming, but the guitar tuning is lower than on the album. Which I think sounds much better than it is on there.
