The fact that Death was even mentioned in a Forbes list of any kind is awesome!!!

Carcass!

lol the college intern slipped it in to be a rebel ha

[@JonManProductions]

TBH That's a REALLY solid list of metal bands. No super duper off genre ones, but a couple of really "extreme" choices littering the list. It's fairly watertight all things considered.

[@pattol666]

Bro the fact he released a type x lefty is amazing. OLA GETS my busines simply cause hes creating lefty modelz. Ive wanted a jackson warrior for 10 years. Theu wont make a lefty. But the type x is a better version of the warrior Im buuying thay guitar asap.

[@patrickb2422]

Mike Caputo’s video on Marco Pitruzella’s fake drum videos in response to the apparent demand for him to join Archspire on drums is super interesting and worth a watch.

[@TheHeadown]

I must say that the Dream Theater song gets better every time I listen to it! Solid work

[@CompleteProducer84]

Same! And when the album drops, I always end up liking the single even more in context of the album

[@achillesamusic]

Not a good thing, if it didn't get you hooked from the first time

[@CompleteProducer84]

@@achillesamusic It’s perfectly fine - everyone is different. Many of my favorite songs of all time are songs that I thought were just okay on the first listen. This is especially true with Progressive Rock/Metal which is complex and takes a few listens to digest. But even with simple pop songs, it’s extremely rare that I love a song immediately

[@achillesamusic]

@@CompleteProducer84 If nothings stick in your mind even subconsciously after the first listen it's kinda meh, it's a general rule thingy but anyways

[@devvilboyy676767]

Schecter is the only lefty friendly company. Hearing you say this will make many of us happy. We don't expect the whole catalog to have a lefty alternative. Some options are better than none. So thank you!

[@yellowdog2181]

Record companies are sketchy, look at what they did to Poison, having records pressed outside of the country so that there was no evidence of how many records were being sold .

[@zeevshaff]

Ola it’s a huge missed opportunity that you don’t film and release the making of these riffs, I would love to see your process.. I’m sure many more feel the same

[@user-zp8pn4no8k]

Hes showed his rig multiple times. Why would he take you through step by step? Just so you can copy his years of work?

[@vorpalblades]

Spencer Prewitt's drumming in Archspire is pretty bezerk. That crazy gravity blast/marching band crossover shit is mindbending.

[@bolillo5013]

Saw Archspire live in June and his drumming was even wilder to see in person

[@HatewerK]

I'd say Fear Factory should absolutely be on the list. Unison guitar-bassdrum riffs? Them (ok, Metallica's "One" was their inspiration, but you get the point). Dual vocals? Them. HUGE contributions in my opinion

[@RGudmetalhead]

Yes, they’re basically godfathers of modern metal. It really sucks that their impact keeps getting neglected

[@luigizanellato2959]

I agree man! First time I heard a band play that kind of metal, so brutal, heavy and tight.

[@infinidominion]

No Fear Factory music is classic tho

[@HatewerK]

@@infinidominion i think "Replica" and partly "Demanufacture" are classics (i.e. every metalhead knows them and can at least remember the choruses)

[@wakjob961]

Carcass, Korn, and Killswitch Engage were defining bands that made metal pivot at their times.

[@stevestrickland0425]

Meshuggah as well they carried the torch when Grunge took bands under and pioneered something new while everyone jumped on the new metal craze !

[@guitarsandjeeps]

Thanks for looking out for the left handers!

[@riccardocuoghi2071]

Ola, as a left handed metal guitar player and proud owner of a Solar guitar i can say, i know you tell you try to make the best for lefty but i can say you are making a great job for us. Probably the best brand that make high specs guitar, 7 strings and extreme shapes for left handed and also available. I’m gonna buy my second Solar for sure

[@the43rdparallelthrift34]

Solar's are nice but Schecter makes the best guitars for lefties. Spec wise, you get more for your money than with Solar. Not trying to be a hater but you made the claim...which is far from the truth.

[@joshdower6448]

As the engineer of a 1927 Vulcan Iron Works coal fired steam engine, it was nice to hear Ola sharing the interest. Would love to see a Chug shirt incorporating a train! Choo Choo Ola.

[@TheStrykerProject]

Wait, what?! A label fucked over an artist?! But labels are such an honorable and fair institution... (I hope Fred takes them for millions...)

[@PedroKing99]

Oh yes thank you man! Love it and love that guitar on intro ! Rock on ❤❤❤ love y’all bro cheers with coffee

[@barrettKiwi]

Kevin Parasis is an absolute monster on the kit, I think if he’s serious about joining and can commit Archspire would do well to add him to the band.

[@M.O.A.N.]

It's odd how people could be so good at their craft & STILL decide to fake parts of their performance, to post it to millions & other professionals online.

Longstreth's audition was insane. The double kick hammer god himself came down from Olympus; just skipped right to the final boss. He said he only got like 65% completion though ordinary mortals could never tell.

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

Back in the 1980's when I first started playing guitar I was forced to learn on right handed guitars so now I play right handed as a lefty. Funny thing is when I first played a lefty guitar I couldn't even hold it properly so I just stuck with right handed play. Funny how I got laughed at in the 2000's for playing my blast beats with exchanging snare sticks like we're seeing these guys play, it makes me feel validated. Naturally where there are animals, there will also be shit. Lanky, just like his dad! I love a model train scape! I wish I still could set up trains but my drum kit would get lonely.

[@infinidominion]

You let them ruin you

[@benhughes2563]

To be fair I'm left handed and I never even thought guitars had right or left handed variants when I started out - I just got one and started learning. Pretty sure 99% of people could learn to use their non-dominant hand for everything given time. At least when it comes to guitar, a lefty playing righty is using their naturally selected hand to do the complicated stuff.

Ola, your intro songs are getting better and better. Not that hey have ever been bad, but since recently, I hear a big change. I like it a lot!

Speaking of Solar Guitars prototypes vs production models... I swear that green X type in the background is a 6 string with Evertune, but I don't see the ability to get one from the Solar web site, only with a Floyd. I'm bummed, caused I'd love to get that. Anyway, I'm happy with the 7 Solar guitars I already have, maybe some day could get the Green X Evertune 6 sting.

That said, Kevin Paradis is a goddamn monster and he never fakes or punches in any of his stuff. I've basically watched the last 6 years of his progress online and the man is just a fucking animal. I hope he gets the gig if that's what he really wants but he's also perfect for Benighted and Benighted slaps the shit out of Archspire.
