[@AngauMusic-d1i]

Holy Shit! That in my opinion takes more skill than doing the guitar cover. He was playing the rhythm of three guitars and then decided to put Spencer's vocal lines in as well. Damn!

[@LeeNashMusic]

Do you know the Piano cover of CAFO by AAL? There is a guys playing in splitscreen Its incredible!

[@hyperplayability6290]

this probably won't get read but i'm already having to put in some real work for the polymeters on drums where it's just literally whacking something with a piece of wood opposed to playing polymeters with actual notes on piano

[@theintelligentone4766]

Periphery themselves shared this on facebook... Absolutely insane man....

[@yarnewolfenschlegelsteinha4293]

BRO EVEN ADDED THE END OF INSOMNIA AS THE INTRO CRAZY DETAIL

[@NickMavromatis]

The Djentist

[@Mameyaro]

The jazziest metal song ever

[@yvancluet8146]

If you like it, Jazz Metal is an entire genre :p

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

this blows my mind... like actually fucks with my head... how did you even consider trying to learn that on piano.. let alone ACTUALLY PULLING IT OFF. incredible.

[@AlteFritte]

Totally agree, just... FUCK... FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

[@JoeyIzzoMusic]

Hey man, so glad you liked it! This cover was largely made possible by Nolly's bass tab transcription. That and crazy amounts of practice time.

[@Sh1nton]

I expected the drummer to absolutely kill it because it's a Periphery cover, but nothing could have prepared me for the talent of that piano player. Very well executed and tight virtuostic playing from both of you.

[@IndridCold00]

I'm eight years late to this cover, but holy shit, fellas. Y'all truly are the 1% of musicianship.

[@th3druminator]

Periphery sent me! this is fantastic!

[@SilversteinRescue]

This is the most insane thing I've ever seen! Periphery shared this on their facebook page just now saying its insaneee :) I quite agree

[@brandenkhan15]

#Periphery led me here. Excellent skills #Djent s. Beautiful.

[@adarknessinme]

Piano and drumset actually blend much better this way than I'd thought they would.

[@alexanderwinters3891]

Sick as Hell, how did I not bump into this years ago.

[@andreaandrea808]

This reminds me of Hiromi Uehara. Props guys, this is phenomenal! Immensely talented musicians

[@randomshxt2099]

[@systematik2930]

if periphery was like this all the time Id listen to them everyday. I want to see some originals!!!

[@saureeeegogo]

Wow I’ve seen this video as a teenager, maybe 10yrs ago and I remember I was so amazed by it. Now all of sudden KZbin brought me back here and I’m still just as amazed.

[@brianfarrington9918]

Yeah, it's 2020. still coming back to this. Appreciate.

[@maconner99]

Way Way Good! Two Thumbs Up! I'm fairly sure this is the fastest piano work I have ever seen!

[@varunrajnair875]

+Jason Guerrero Listen to Tigran bruv

[@jasonguerrero5476]

holy crap thank you so much. this is amazing. bro, got any more any awesome recommendations? ever check out chon? rooftops?

[@varunrajnair875]

Jason Guerrero Chon is definitely brilliant. Check out Jaga Jazzist, Snarky Puppy for orchestral oriented grooves. Plini, Owane for guitars.

[@jasonguerrero5476]

I do enjoy my plini and owane. gonna give the other two a try. Thanks so much!

[@splitmaster3]

[@justinsanker]

I love that intro to Ragnarok at the end.

[@DMRCapitalHill]

Pure talented

[@mitm5811]

the chorus sounds so eerily beautiful on the piano. And the drumming was spot on to my ears.

[@zakkbogan2ks846]

By far the sickest cover I've ever heard. On point flawless yes!

[@nrthorun]

This is fantastic. Amazing performance, you guys are sick.

[@VikramShankarMusic]

Fantastic cover dudes! Both drums and piano were sick.

[@peraltasigis]

Absolutely fantastic. Sober and brillant. Congratulations.

[@Gecc]

[@Eneticckk]

Currently my favorite video on the internet

[@deadrat117]

Holy cow. GREAT job guys!

[@anda7x531]

Periphery official page on facebook,just shared this

[@DuochromeFilms]

Sergei Rachmaninov would love this. As so do I. It's friggin awesome. You guys should do a whole album of this and make a dvd of it too. I'd buy em both.

[@laurenjaye2699]

Holy freaking crap guys... this.is.amazing. Awesome, awesome job.

[@akionice7158]

Nice!!

[@FuelBurnMedia]

Now that I've scooped my face back onto my head after you guys just melted it off, I can now type "Sensational!!"

[@reidnoble457]

Obligatory anime theme song comment... But seriously, I might have just found my new favorite youtube video! I loved how you subtly changed the chord progression at a few parts to make it more interesting on the piano-- very impressive. I've been trying to figure out some Contortionist songs but this is a whole new level!

[@RedSkyWhisper]

That was cool ! Though I felt a sax would fit great in here for Spencer's vocals, but it was awesome anyway !

[@robertfennis6088]

Awesome guys! Just awesome!

[@mfloblade]

owah guys, that is incredible! your version is awesome !! I like that! piano and drum together are perfect!! continue your job I follow you !! make more cover with this unit! It's pretty cool!!!
