[@JasonCHarper]

Clean is an understatement...and this djentleman is a tasteful note boat

[@LifttheDead30]

DUDE, that riff at 1:09 is...................EPIC. I love that one and keep rewinding it when blasting it in the car. You are an inspiration man.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Perfect musician and perfect music! I have this Permanence....ON VINYL! Long Live Sheethappenspublishing! Thanx a lot, Mr. Stephen Taranto!!!!

[@Knosferatu]

1:18 absolute genius

[@Nephzi]

The third song gave me old school Grand Turismo vibes around the solo

[@terrywin2661]

Dude is a MONSTER!!

[@Penisdoll]

Tightest playing I have ever seen.

[@Nikonowincolour]

Super psyched on this mate, can't wait! Abasi couldn't have picked a better player to represent their instruments. Love the tone at 1:34 too

[@dagerhabidsnakeskin1540]

maybe there is one player, Tosin Abasi

[@santiagogarcia9436]

The LICK at 0:55 when the metric modulation kicks in😍

[@JarodM]

Yeah, jazzy dude~🎸🎶

[@TheRubenFuentes]

Plot twist this is all separate parts from 1 song

[@FabioEloi]

Still the most ridiculously exciting teaser

Super Hyped!! Been waiting for a while to hear this!!

[@keegaannO94]

[@theicon2125]

Have you ever considered writing music for video games? I'm hearing a lot of potential great boss music here.

[@StephenTaranto]

THEICON2125 That was my dream job at one point. I’d love an opportunity to work on a kick-ass game :D

[@DanThornton828]

So stoked to finally have some full material from you!

[@StephenTaranto]

Martin Roussev I’m hoping to make some at some point but we’ll see !

[@reinergarcia2151]

tosin brings me here 🙌

[@josephlauletta3419]

My shared love for Paper Mario TTYD with Stephen makes this even sweeter for me. Brings a damn tear to my eye how well he channels the character of that game's soundtrack in his writing (by his own admission). This is going to be a legendary release

[@StephenTaranto]

I have a strong feeling you'll like this record then :P. Paper Mario TTYD >> All.

[@oli_dall-r4112]

Cant wait !!!!

[@bruceanthony8345]

THIS IS VERY FUCKING AWESOME MEN. You are a crazy guitarist.

[@drgonzo802]

Last person to blow my guitar playing mind this intensely was Tosin or maybe David Maxim. Damn those guitars look so ergonomic and amazing. Can't wait to listen thru the ep dude. I haven't been this geeked about an album/previously unknown musician in a long long time. Your production quality is impeccable and seeing your technique was damn inspiring. So thank you. I've heard ppl say they think prog metal,specifically the djentier side, is getting stale. This is a strong fucking case against that notion. With you and Animals on the scene prog metal is as fresh as ever imo 🤘

[@oli_dall-r4112]

Excellent !

[@BenjaminEllisMusic]

MATE. This is going to be so sick! The harmonised trem-insanity run at 2:10 is absolutely beautiful! Can't wait

[@ericpalkovich]

Wowwwwww Killer!!!! Can't wait for this :)

[@sebmorae]

I love you Stephen

[@StephenTaranto]

Sebastian Mora I’m glad someone does :3

[@oli_dall-r4112]

[@kylepolhemus781]

[@timmorganmusic4282]

Wicked!

[@celestialmonkey]

Fuck yes. It's like The Helix Nebula 2.0, with some Owane thrown in maybe.

[@benbmusic88]

This is great man!

[@me1945me]

Finally!

[@estebanmedellin9972]

hell yeah man

[@dave6564]

1:00 cant wait to learn this riff

[@EloiNicod]

Holy Crap ! :o this is fucking Huge man !

[@pesciwl]

Definitely moved up in my list of guitar GOATS. Get goosebumps every time I watch this teaser. I have Spotify, and will still buy this album. If you have a better direct way to get you some $$$ let me know. You deserve every penny for this. Take your time with the Helix album :) We'll have plenty to keep us busy.

[@StephenTaranto]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! I do have a Bandcamp where you can pre-order it for pretty cheap, but i'm happy with any way you choose to support it :)

[@pesciwl]

@@StephenTaranto Done. Hope we'll see you in Florida sometime soon. (BTW loving the Abasi)

[@Cestariarts]

He isn't considered as much of a guitar god because today there are too many shredders so it gets a little unnoticed, but there's something on his play that stands out. Too good

[@wapangimchenchar1231]

Pixel heart is bae

[@FRACTALSinstrumental]

Amazing EP man ! Congratulations :D

[@ClayWilliams]
