Spawn of Possession - The Evangelist - Guitar Cover

This song is hard.
I do not own the rights to this song.

[@Ry-Horn]

Can't even fathom the discipline required to learn and play this song flawlessly. Fucking amazing dude.

[@bradleystich6245]

Nice cover, this song has just enough in the way of traditional classical harmony and melodic structure to hold the listeners hand as it dives head first into sheer dissonant madness, its awesome. It reminds me of Schoenberg's early quartets in that sense.

[@thee_rita5156]

yoo I started listening to Schöenberg becauso of Deathspell and this band its so good

[@TheVulvulator]

What exactly would you recommend from Schoenberg to someone like me who likes Spawn of Possession and (a bit of) Deathspell Omega?

[@longcrab]

Excellent cover, very difficult song!

[@athannos]

Not gonna lie this scared the shit out of me, you are on a different level.

[@MarkusSsZ]

It's criminal how little views you have on this video. Deserves millions.

[@MooseWilliams]

It's criminal just how underrated SOP is tho,

[@borbor78]

i know exactly how hard is to learn SOP songs .... this one is the hardests of the hardests, the song structure, the insane riffage ..... nice challenge, well done.

[@Existomalus]

While this song is very hard at parts, I still think A Presence Inexplicable tops it in terms of ridiculousness lol

[@2174863]

@@Existomalus That song is chaotic and fast but this song is more complex plus the amount of riffs to remember, I'd say this song is definitely harder. But still all there songs are hard...

[@Existomalus]

@@2174863 as a guitarist who regularly plays tech death, I've seen and played the tabs for both songs and if you saw what I saw, you'd definitely agree. Haha but don't get me wrong I love this song to death 100%, I just don't think it's their toughest song to play. Which is saying something because this song is hard a shit to play lmao

[@2174863]

@@Existomalus Oh most of the songs I play are mainly the same style of playing as a presence inexplicable. Personally to me I find it simpler. The only spawn song i’ve learnt is apparition, learning deus avertat now…

[@2174863]

just depends on your play style!

[@slaughtered777]

Incredible man, just incredible!! This is easily 85-90% accurate, and that is an astonishing feat!!! Bravo dude, need more SoP covers from you :)

[@CnMinus1432]

Not flawless but damn, anything that I'd ever put out myself would make this look flawless. The "faults" are perhaps even down to differences in listening interpretation and can probably be counted on one hand. Thank you so much, all these years later, for uploading this! You are a master.

[@mariajosequintanalopez5479]

I cant really comprehend how hard is to play this, but its fucking amazing, my praises and admiration for you.

[@austere1653]

Beautiful how thé guitars answer to each other

[@MarkusSsZ]

How the fuck can you play this well in one take?? Absolutely monstrous

[@austere1653]

Unearthly mélodies, really. Incurso is really from another dimension. This is my favorite track of the album

[@DemonWhisper1]

This is so goddamn awesome

[@AdamCantalupo]

Thanks homie!

[@nicklucero448]

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I am completely blown away every. Single. Time. Fuckin incredible man. Stay brutal

[@hollowroots2197]

This is freakin amazing, dude! SoP is not for the faint of heart. And played this clean, damn!!

[@Kragith0]

Sick cover and repping the black dahlia murder!

[@A992_]

holy fucking shit I'm speechless I basically watched this video with my mouth open the whole time

[@chriswalkerbass]

you played like a beast

[@joshuawerner3074]

Cool Ibanez guitar 🎸 You rock this song well great cover!!! Sucks Spawn of Possession broke up.

[@edwinjacobellis4852]

This is friggin so good 🔥🔥🔥

[@nicklucero448]

Holy fucking shit that was amazing! Hell of a job man!

[@keeleyreader]

Fantastic job! This sounds amazing, keep up the great work! :)

[@AHighlander]

Nailed it, brother. Now do the other parts.;) \m/

[@Phybia]

That's insane man

[@hiddencreaturex]

Gonna have a go at it with a 6 string, hopefully I can manage. You inspire me haha

[@AdamCantalupo]

Give it a whirl man! I was also inspired by someone else who covered this. Watching his video aided me in figuring it out and knowing that it was possible! lol

[@cete66]

👏👏👏

[@tikus1255]

This song is fucking long, but is it really as difficult as apparition? What do you use btw, ampwise.

[@tikus1255]

Awsome cover btw, you nailed it too.

[@AdamCantalupo]

Thank you! But I don't really know, I think I had a harder time learning this song, definitely took me longer with learning the solos this time around.. Could be because I'm busier right now than when I learned Apparition. For amp stuff I scrambled a bunch of line 6 and free vst's together, I lost what I was using before for my tone with Reaper when I updated my computer months ago.

[@strayfurther8246]

Sick!

[@chimeiwangliang]

Huge respect!

[@rfHll196]

Nice!

[@excrementor69]

Fucking nail it... which one is harder... the evangelist or apparition?

Just look at ya 😍

porco dio you're a fucking beast

[@Aggro1992]

This is badass!

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

Hi @adamcantalupo any chance you transcribed this?

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

@adamcantalupo Hi Adam, I've been working diligently to figure out this song from your video and I know it's a lot to ask but, Do you have a recording of your guitars guitars without the backing track some of The power chords parts with the pinch harmonics,really struggling to hear the separation there so damn fast. Thanks

[@AdamCantalupo]

Hey man, I get that struggle! It's hard trying to figure out songs from videos. Unfortunately, I don't believe I have the file anymore. Ultimate-guitar has a really good guitarpro tab for this song that's still up. It's what I used to learn it and pretty much (tried to) play exactly what was on the tab.

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

@@AdamCantalupo I appreciate you taking time to respond, I like learning by ear,passages can take hours to even figure out,I spent yesterday evening on like 20 seconds of music ,hours on it. I definitely want to look at it tho,I'm curious what it looks like in the notation.

[@AdamCantalupo]

@@BlastbeatsRtreats No problem. Doing that is definitely going to make you a better player for sure! I don't have the same computer I recorded this with, or even a 7 string anymore, or I'd try to help with a specific part. That tab I didn't even write is the best I can do lol, sorry!

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

@@AdamCantalupo I looked at it,doesn't look anything like what you played,I've reached out to Bryssling on Facebook, he's pretty nice guy,I think he's dealing with some health issues.

[@AdamCantalupo]

@@BlastbeatsRtreats What specific part are you trying to get? give me a time stamp. And fuck man that's heartbreaking. Wishing the best for one of the greatest metal players that ever and will ever exist!! \m/

[@metalhead252525]

Sick job dude. How long did it take you to learn this? Nailed the Incurso tone as well!

[@AdamCantalupo]

Thank you! And probably around 3 weeks to learn. But I remember during this time I was obsessed with learning this and spent a couple hours a day in those periods, give or take depending on the day.

[@metalhead252525]

@@AdamCantalupo Wow, that's impressive! I used to jam the Evangelist tab through Guitar Pro (with all the guitars switched to piano lol) and it looked insanely difficult. I was glad to see you covered the solo as well. How did you learn guitar btw? Lessons, self-taught, or a combination of the two?

[@AdamCantalupo]

@@metalhead252525 I took lessons from an older neighbor for a couple years. They were really casual though. It was almost like I was guided in learning techniques, and I learned modes that I now completely forget lol. But he asked me what I wanted to learn, and being 12 years old I was not into learning theory, I just wanted to shred...but now I wish I would have learned more of that, but hindsight lol. The lessons eventually just started becoming him checking out the songs I was learning. Once I stopped jamming with him I kept playing and learning on my own. I'm very grateful for the time I spent playing with him, so if you ever see this Barry thank you! You're the shit!

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

@adamcantalupo Wow Adam, this is proving very difficult,question for you about tuning ,it looked like you were playing in a dropped tuning at times ,could you please spell out the tuning? Is it BEADGBE?

[@AdamCantalupo]

If I remember correctly, one guitar is BEADGBE and the other is BEADGBbE or something like that. Some of the power chords do look like a dropped tuning but they’re still tuned to standard b.

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

@@AdamCantalupo Thanks Adam. I don't like tabs but,they might help in spots ,their often wrong.

[@Dascoo77]

Nice! Good skills 👌Think you’ll like my guitar videos actually!

Hi @adamcantalupo, I want to attempt this masterpiece, is your low string a B?

[@AdamCantalupo]

Yup. Good luck man!

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

@@AdamCantalupo Can I ask if your guitar is a 26 1/2 scale? I'm looking at 7 string guitars and some are the longer scale. I wondered if there's and adjustment to the tension.

[@AdamCantalupo]

@@BlastbeatsRtreats I actually don’t have this anymore but it did have a standard 25.5 inch scale. I always seemed to have intonation issues with the low b string which I think may have been better with a longer scale length? I’m not really sure.

[@BlastbeatsRtreats]

@@AdamCantalupo Thanks for your reply Adam I appreciate it. 26.5 is only an inch over 24 frets,can't be too bad.

[@AdamCantalupo]

@@BlastbeatsRtreats no problem man. But yeah idk If the frets are slightly longer or the bridge is just further back lol. Probably wouldn’t be too hard to get used to.
