Can you imagine going to a gig where the support act for Periphery is none other than Plini?! When people say that music is getting worse I just have to wonder what on earth they're listening to, because I can find stuff I like from every era, whether it was composed 500 years ago or yesterday. Prog music is in safe hands with musicians like Plini writing incredible stuff like this.

[@markg2861]

Semantic Samuel exactly . People are just looking i the wrong places for music. They don’t really want new, they just want different artists playing the same shit. Kinda how the 80s were lol. I rly believe this is one of the best eras of music. People can make incredible songs in their bedroom now which is amazing ie. Plini.

[@13NZR13]

A few years ago Plini and Intervals opened up for Animals as Leaders. That was a hell of a show!

[@josuastangl7140]

I can imagine ... bc i was there in november.

[@Simpaiii]

so much this! It blows my mind. we live in a time where most of us can access basically ever piece of music ever created with 3 clicks or less and people want to tell me that there isn't any good music being released anymore?

[@___xyz___]

Music certainly isn't what it used to be. It's powered by other mechanisms than back in the days of the classical masters. That is not to say that the artists themselves are no longer capable. They just don't have the means nor the motivation to create genuine works of art. They're entertainers before they are artists. And that is fine. But I'm confident in my belief that the quality of musical productivity, by the piece and as a whole, of certain musical periods of the past was higher than today. In simple terms, the historically educated consensus is _today's music has gotten worse._

[@CharlieRobbins]

The thumbnail already sounds amazing

[@djent_prog_core_guitarcovers]

This makes me want to click more than Warning Signs, Red Font, Smileys and overly emotional faces on most of the thumbnails

[@jehu2223]

You sound amazing!

[@mohitrahaman]

:D

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

Chawlie how ow you UwU

[@courtlandwhited7030]

Accidental Charlie Robbins sighting in a Plini comments section made my night. Love you bro!

[@Kaikojo]

Damn, they found an excellent drummer. He plays like a jazz drummer at a rock gig. It's so different from the rest of metal drummers, he really captures the essence of Plini, I feel. Not to mention how goddamn fast and powerful, yet relaxed and effortless his strokes and embellishments are.

[@richardbradley1532]

Yep, love the fusion touch

[@wackosaco7369]

Allison bends time. It's wierd. haha He reminds me of Matt Garstka, with how absurd his timings are.

[@mikedawesofficial]

My kind of tune

[@lunbun1471]

hey mike

[@aayushgulhane7932]

woah hi there

[@Kirk00077]

I bought a bass because of this song. Simon is *amazing*.

[@thekramer1097]

Yeah. I wish I could play like him... and I'm a guitarist

[@verysillypenguin]

Simon is so sick. saw them in Vancouver when they had troy and yea he's a beast. Simon plays tighter than plini lol

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

...@@verysillypenguin

[@marksimmons7906]

Plini and Simon Grove remind me of Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan. Both perfect on their respective axes, in their ranges, and perfectly complementary of each other in their syncopation.

[@iker4222]

the pinches at the end gave a whole different vibe and I'm loving it, holy shit

[@notsure2696]

I can’t wait these are some of the best musicians of this generation.

[@fmspjanus]

I saw him live in Dublin supporting Tesseract. Gotta chance to talk with him and some of the band members. I hate celebritism and all that stuff, still... Amazing people amazing artists, so glad I had a chance to have chat with em. Together with Tesseract by far one of the best live performance i ever had pleasure to witness, beats almost every single "old" band I used to love as a kid(Deftones etc.). Hopefully Covid-19 situation at some point will be somehow fixed to the point people can enjoy this as much as I could.

[@camilomontoya7412]

LMAO

[@osmark86]

@@fmspjanus Deftones are better than both both Plini and Tesseract imo. their music feels a little more alive and meaningful than either of these two bands. Plini are nice for when you want groovy, jazzy, prog vibes but honestly think Animals As Leaders are a more interesting option usually. All of these bands are still fantastic (well maybe not Tesseract..).

[@fmspjanus]

@@osmark86 I grew out of deftones and also seen them live twice which was... Disappointing. I don't want to argue cause its a a matter of taste. In terms of composition I do not see plini as a background "jazzy" music as it has barely anything to do with ambient or jazz on a theoretical and practical level.

[@osmark86]

@@fmspjanus I wasn't trying to start an argument either, just stating an opinion. As you say, tastes and all ;)

[@florentinpeters7450]

The next plini tour should be called "Plini and the beards"

[@ZachHord]

Plini of Beards

[@edensmoma]

Battle of the beards

[@christophersleight19]

Plini and the masked beards. Folks it's 12-08-20 @ 5:52am in Colorado Springs Colorado. Our Countries are being shut down. This is great music. But ultimately it won't change where we are headed. Turn off your TV. John 14:6

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

Amazing performance, as always. Pinch harmonics at 3:44 onward are some of the coolest I've ever heard.

[@karankulkarni4204]

They just started abusing the pinches in the end for fun

[@niupe705]

I got a fever ! And the only prescription.. is pinch harmonics

[@joshmazany1590]

They do it everytime I love it!

[@bodoms_demon4159]

That got an "oooooo" from me, so sick.

[@glumauig21]

Gave me a permanent stank face when I first heard it. I go back to this video every now and then, and sometimes literally only for the pinch harmonics in the end

[@GumonX]

BEST SONG EVER! Im sad, i played it, im happy; i played it !! Im hopefull, i played IT … im DREAMING… i played it! Thank so much Plini

[@cbaum64]

That tonal shift live is absolutely God-tier, good lord

[@jimcalverley]

Not ONLY are these guys incredible musicians, kudos to whomever recorded and mixed this - this track is so damn tight, and fat, and clean, and dirty, and powerful, and...did I say fat? It was so fat, it was fat twice! Amazing. I'm a fan now.

[@shwetabhsameer7068]

The current era of progressive metal is simply amazing. Musicians such as Plini and David Maxim have brought whole together a new kind of music to the scene. So lucky to have found them and seen them performing live. :)

[@DepressingHappyMusic]

That bass tone was built by the gods

[@SrikanthIyerTheMariner]

Plini is the reason I am able to enjoy rock guitar again after many years .. the last time I was so excited was when I discovered Guthrie

[@thorthostenson]

I saw them at a small venue in Minnesota and it was the best concert I ever saw. You can't beat talent like Plini.

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

I was there, they killed it !!!!

[@nerdvananc]

You can see the pure exuberance they're experiencing on stage each time they look at each other. ;--;

[@AA-th5vi]

I love your music Plini. It's really refreshing and uplifting somehow. It makes me happier every time when I listen to your music

[@nmr405]

That little bit he plays along with the bass at 1:16 is just *chef's kiss*

[@oddcreature8953]

Plini continues to set the bar exceptionally high. Supported by great musicians, particulary Simon!Simon!Grove on his very beautiful North-German Le Fay bass. This is quality music. Thank you so much!

[@morrisgreg2176]

THE SOUND QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE IS SO FUCKING EPIC CHILLS THE ENTIRE TIME GUYS. THANK YOU.

[@rudybigboote3883]

Back in the 70’s bands like King Crimson set the standard for prog musicianship but now… I mean my god, bands like Plini are doing things that would have been considered impossible even for the best musicians back then. These guys are so good it’s scary! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@olass_]

cant wait for ""tyyy duuu daa duu du daaaaa tududa""

[@rissalas9254]

i literally sang this in my head and it's accurate lmao

[@Jin_Raiden]

I love how this is very ethereal and grimy all at the same time. I’ve seen Plini quite a few times on all amazing lineups and it truly is an experience. Another amazing song as per usual 🙌🏽🤍

[@DeadlyLazer]

Binging with babish on the drums killin it

[@poopguy6208]

DeadlyLazer LMAOOO

[@ailyas3556]

[@FlatulEssence]

I just heard of Plini just now. I love his creation. Exactly my kind of genre,

[@crececonpoder562]

Me causa cosas profundas su musica, en este momento me caen lagrima de mis ojos, es hermoso.

[@soutrik27]

MAGICAL

[@edensmoma]

So freaking good

[@devonboes2376]

There is no way to describe the way this music makes me feel other than FEELS they don't need a vocalist with the way he makes his leads sing out of his guitar and always the perfect counter basslines once again amazing ❤️

[@anggiesurya7377]

Simply amaze with they looks like in a musical conversation.

[@batfishh]

[@greghufton6561]

Saw Plini live about a year ago in Toronto, he was amazing!

[@francescocapuani]

My Heart Is on fire

[@JosephFacer]

I love the unashamed abuse of pinch harmonics at the ending, especially with the held out version of the main riff

[@DanielNachbaurART]

Goosebumps one of my favorites! I jam it almost everyday for the past couple months, so fun to play and hear!

[@themorgansnyder]

Plini plays all his music so casually. It hurts.

[@salvador960]

I was there and yes is as unreal as it looks and sounds
