If this is how Ten Sepiroth sounds like, I can only imagine what Eleven Sepiroth would sound like

[@SuicidebyYourMom]

I'm not sure mankind is prepared for that.

[@mandoleiva9823]

Love this comment 😂

[@u.v.s.5583]

Ten little Sepiroth went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little Sepiroth sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little Sepiroth travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven. Seven little Sepiroth chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six. Six little Sepiroth playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little Sepiroth going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little Sepiroth going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little Sepiroth walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little Sepiroth sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little Sepiroth left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.

1:57 - Been listening to metal for 13 years, and this is one of the coolest fills I've ever heard

[@devankallio1828]

agreed, replayed it like 20 times

[@tanchokdewan9020]

How about necrophagist drumming tell me any thing u know

[@REIDOPLANETA]

Sebastian is so creative it's unreal. Anytime I hear his shit it's always outrageous. A shame he's gone.

[@tracechan9942]

I've been session drummer for jazz/big band/rock/death metal..basically anything you can think of for 15 years. This man is on a higher plane of existence.

[@janivelic2316]

I agree 100 %

[@hardcoreoma]

Weird flex but ok

[@jasonlauritsen5587]

​@@hardcoreomahow is that a flex? It's stating credentials as to having a broad knowledge and capabilities.

[@JestersoftheOccult]

More than once I rewinded parts of this video just to try and comprehend how tasty the fills were.

[@justynfogarty6209]

Really incredible fills he's playing! Glad he joined!

[@mikafabio]

3:20 I never have rewinded a fill that often

[@adrianmunizcourdin9060]

3:20 OMG!

[@shinma989]

Yeah, gave me the goosies

[@marcjensen4093]

THAT's what I needed to see! A drummer who is ALIVE when he plays!!!

[@tsconn23]

Sorry to see this lineup split apart actually. Glad I got to see them live.

[@millenwagon]

I know you posted this 3 years ago, but I guess you’ve heard they formed the band obsidious and released their first full length album recently, very very good!

[@necrohorror9000]

He literally used every part of that kit! Amazing talent and the different speeds at which he just goes into....mind blown!

[@FutilityOfReason]

I know the year isn't over but this is hands down best album 2016.

[@MutilatedMetalhead]

It's certainly my front runner!

[@lukerogers151]

It will definitely be in my top 5, for sure!

[@maaaaaap]

Terminal Redux is better, but top 5 stuff so far.

[@havoc2431]

+1, been saying that since it came out.

[@CorrosiveJapsEye]

Blaze Kushrenada this and Opeth's Sorceress Album both are worthy of the title of album of the year 2016 :)

[@Nappa9000]

This guy is the perfect replacement for Hannes, his playstyle fits really well with your band's music. Keep it up you guys, Akroasis is in my top 5 of the year!

[@majikkraptor4697]

I'm glad we finally get to see a playthrough of Sebastian and Obscura together. Great video, and perfect replacement for Hannes!

[@hermesjunior0]

Unfortunately I can not give relike... Sebastian is incredible!

[@killorbeeliminated844]

Some of the best sounding toms ive ever heard.

[@MrAntihumanism]

Very different style to Hannes. Lanser loves doing unconventional things, sounds different to nearly every death metal drummer out there.

[@woodenhoe]

I love them both

[@Skepsis710]

The fill at 3:28 is unreal. That timing is so bizarre.

[@theadamblock]

Wow. I hadn't heard of this drummer before. He's really bringing a unique style of playing to this type of metal. Outstanding

[@mattyjazzz]

This is absolutely amazing. Whoever the 7 guys were (on this day) their bums are obviously hurt because they either can't do this, or because they can't understand it. I love metal with absolutely no vocals. I was in a metal band years ago and we were all instrumental, or "instrumetal" as we liked to call it. This is type of music I find has more in common with certain genres of jazz music than it does with certain rock music. These guys are literally maxing out what can be down on these instruments. They're pushing them to their very limits. To me, this song right here that I just listened to for the first time, was art. It's like watching a symphony to me.

[@BrettRebman]

nearly 3 years later and it's still the tastiest damn thing I've ever seen

[@BrettRebman]

5 year check, still the tastiest shit ever

[@coinzac3225]

The best fill here, wait for it after 3:13 - So many techniques and it sounds too damn good

[@gallagherdrumsri5411]

He play's with such a fucking awesome groove. I can't get enough of watching his technique.

[@johnsonboone953]

This has got to be one of the best/coolest playthroughs I have ever seen, and I've seen a shit tone of them. So mesmerizing, and such awesome playing, I could watch this all day. From one drummer to another, fantastic job!

[@hellsing1983]

This video is my favorite drummer video on youtube since it has been uploaded. Love everything the guy is doing here. He is solid and very colourful, especially with his fills.

[@holyshit1916]

The 3 fills at 2:49 are GNARLY!

[@RogelioPerea]

This stuff gets the instant no-questions-asked subscribe. Awesome!

[@user-gt4xh3xi5o]

This is up there with one of the best playthroughs of any other tech death metal band, the speed, power and especially his stamina and precision of the song, of course it's not a one take but I imagine it was not easy to do a bunch of takes

[@giuseppefortinelli8097]

Damn he’s a beast. He’s technically impeccable, tight, nice fills, nice idea, and even if the genre may be restrictive, he still make the whole listening experience sooo tasty. Great musician here!

[@chriswilk1]

such unbelievable musicianship. everyone in this band is talented beyond the norm.

[@magetaaaaaa]

I know nothing about drums, but sometimes I try to stomp along with the bass pedals and get exhausted almost right away. How they do it is beyond me.

[@cedricmissotten]

Literally the best drummer in the world.

[@millenwagon]

As a metal lover since 1999, akroasis and diluvium are both in my top 10 favourite metal albums of all time

[@sixstrinngmunky]

The stick control is insane! Too often do I see drummers who just wail on every part of the kit and then are sacrificing good drum and cymbal tone. Damn I wish I could find a drummer this good to work with!

[@BSeffDrumVidz]

This was perfect! Ultra tight and creative. Bravo - would love to see Obscura, again, with you in the lineup (in the USA)!

[@georgikrastev]

This is so beautiful and I don't say it lightly. Not just the mechanical skills, the sound is so pleasant, makes me want to listen more and more, I love it. :)

[@WeirdSchizo]

Awesome! His style of playing reminds of Alex Rudinger a bit.

Yeah... Obscura doesn't sound even relatively similar to Death. Their solos sometimes have similar phrasing to chucks, but that's about it. Not sure where youre hearing that

clean, powerfull and not overcomplicated. i love this guy!

[@billrussell1979]

have been a fan of Sebastian for years, from Panzerballet. I am a big fan of metal too, but not a singularly obsessed metalhead or anything. Wondering what hardcore metal guys think of panzerballet. Sebastian and those guys all have degrees from the German university. Their music is "off the chart" jazz and metal compositions and recomposed covers. Obscura and such music is physically challenging as far as the blastbeats, etc, but rhythmically straightforward for Sebastian, based on the sort of things he plays in Panzer. I like the fretless sounding bass like cynic and certainly strong material from the "prog tech death" genre.

[@xenomorph2056]

God that is awesome. Also, you are actually hitting the drums to achieve that proper tone. Thank you so much for that.

[@Elayaass]

Loved it, long time without seeing a metal drummer who doesn't over use the blast beat

[@mathewreed818]

That’s because he’s well versed in all styles. He’s the ultimate drummer. He’s the product of when someone dedicates their life to their craft. He’s got the ultimate respect from me.

[@BrandonZackey]

Hell yea man! I think this is one of my favorite songs from the album

[@GraveyardWarden]

Jesus Christ this is a spicy enchilada. This dudes insane

Just when i thought Hannes Grossman couldn't be matched haha Great drumming! Stylistically reminds me of both Mr. Hannes and Alex Rudinger.

[@MikeBrown-ry2kf]

So much Death influence! ILOVE IT!!!

[@daikaijugodzilla]

I love how he doses the blast beats, like little blast beats mixed with other kinds of beats, i've never heard something like that before in death metal, it's the opossite to the adicction of abusing of blast beat, making it monotonous

[@toolband1992]

Amazing drumming! Think you're a great replacement for HG. Can't wait to see Obscura with one of the best line-up's when you hit London later this year. Thanks. :)

[@ozgurmizrak2431]

Frighteningly perfect, vow.

[@erickoathoa]

Amazing!!!!

[@Necrocous]

incredible playing. great kit layout too.

[@psyken_2321]

Oh my goodness, how refreshing this is. Not a single trigger to be heard, and actual hard, proper hitting. Even the sticks are big and chunky. Is this really death metal?! But yes, compared to the other trigger-happy speed demons out there this is great not only because it's organic, but as a drummer, the diversity in this man's playing really puts a smile on my face. Yes, it may not be blinding double bass 16th notes at 250+bpm, but this is Obscura; not bloody Nile. Too often do I find (especially in Nile) there is very little to no changes in flow or structure in the drumming. Blast beat, fill. More blast beats, more fills. And maybe if you're listening to something more brutal, a few bomb blasts here and there. This on the other hand I would call the "thinking man's drumming". 2 seconds on a skank beat, maybe another couple on a bomb blast, going into a normal blast, fitting tasteful fills between each change in beat. All the while going through constantly changing time signatures, 2/4, 3/4, 5/4, etc...fantastic.
