[@devoidofskill]

Really clean playing of such complicated riff.

[@restoringforce9893]

What a tone, man! Love it

[@awrely]

Thanks!

[@Kidcrowley]

I swear this riff is so good, when the song dropped and i heard it i was in awe

[@muntazeerrashid8834]

COULDN'T AGREE MORE BROO. BEST RIFF EVER. And very clean. Nicely done

[@Knowonselph]

these guys are my fine wine. every song just gets better and better

[@killerhippo10]

chills literally every time bro. Clean as a whistle 👌👌

I would put Erra's riff in Gungrave up there as well.

[@oliviamarie5285]

And the one in snowblood

[@soysauce9296]

ERRA has an entire catalog of riffs more techy than this

[@perunyara2919]

@@soysauce9296 erra has better riffs, but drawback is that their music is bit more formulaic then invent animate.

[@Aurora_17]

I’m a huge fan of both, but Invent takes the cake on this one

[@goobingtons]

​@@perunyara2919 erra and ia are literally verse/chorus style metalcore lmao

[@FunkVT]

I love these kinds of riffs, nice job and really nice tone !

[@JohnnySideburnsX]

Loving the color switches! The more I see this riff, the more it makes me want to cover it

[@kojimezu5821]

Shit this does really look fun to play. Gotta give it a try. Nice cover bro🤘🏻

[@dillfunk-vd9je]

*laughs in Erra, Gungrave…

[@Butterfly-lr6ed]

lol, i'm a big erra fan, but gungraves riff has nothing on this one. i could listen to this shit all day

[@kayvan671]

@@Butterfly-lr6ed Agreed

@Butterfly I'm a huge Erra fan and I don't really listen to Imvent Animate but like... You're right hahaha

Invent > Erra Love both tho.

[@samiuhossain395]

I love you for that.

[@Jasper-Holland]

perfection

[@wiguelharo]

such an amazing riff but i think there are more progressive riffs out there. This is an amazing riff of course but i think that AAL or Meshuggah has more progressive riffs. However, I love IA and this song and riffs are pure modern bangers, and u did justice with such an amazing playing! PS: cool guitar dude!!

[@Harper_Sloane]

Can't forget vildhjarta either. This riff is basically just if vildhjarta wrote doomsday by Architects.

[@RaganRogaine]

shits so sick

[@hadair407]

I now own a Legator N8FS after watching this video and finding it in a sale. What a beautiful guitar

[@workshopblackbird]

Awesome job on it 🤘

[@frankjefferies339]

this and gungrave are my competitors for best prog riff

Solid

[@8BitZ0mbie]

So good bro. What a great riff too

[@MikeAngelo7604]

Sounds awesome 👏

[@minuswon]

Awesome job!

[@funnyperson4027]

Invent animate is like taking every sick erra riff and making it into a band

[@Darrell1977]

What is that beautiful guitar? Great playing too

[@awrely]

Thanks!. Thats Legator N7FS

SICK!! My Legator brother! You must learn the ERRA SNOWBLOOD riff!

delish riff

[@moternaz]

loved it bro

[@iryncyn]

Super 👌

[@sukeuryeong]

Riffs like this from IA scratch that itch that’ll never be satisfied from The Afterimage

[@vicariousfr]

I think the most progressive riff of the decade would be an 8 minute riff in a row, without any repetition, with every possible and conceivable syntax and shape, and with at least twenty different time signatures in it. Not a music, just a riff, 8 minutes long. So here, no.

[@vladvladimirov4399]

Just learned Traces from Vildhjarta. Their shit never repeats. 6 minutes of just insanity

[@vicariousfr]

@@vladvladimirov4399 Oh really ? damn, I'll check it out then ! ^^

@@huejazz_ IA > Erra

[@jdoxTV]

@@huejazz_ IA have long been doing this style of 7 string stuff longer than ERRA did, ERRA became more like IA not the other way around.

[@huejazz_]

@@jdoxTV erra have been around longer than IA lol wtf are you talking about. The meat riding is crazy here. Erra innovated this type of style before them.

[@jdoxTV]

@@huejazz_ where did i say they were around longer? erra were a completely different style of band on 6 strings in drop A# with a very specific style while IA were already doing exactly what ERRA ended up switching up to.

[@LairAstro]

what did you use to get the tone?

[@awrely]

I used Archetype: Gojira

[@LairAstro]

​​@@awrely nice I have gojira as well, wish mine sounded that good 👍

[@awrely]

@@LairAstro it's all about sounding in the mix. If you really need versatile ready for recording tones try the new plugin by Josh Middleton. Way better than Neural stuff

Its good but... Gungrave

[@Harper_Sloane]

I don't get this comment. It sounds musical to me. Music doesn't have to be a slow singable melody

[@soysauce9296]

Uhh.. that's a cool riff and all, but there isn't ANYTHING progressive about it lol.

[@vexedpixels]

How

[@Harper_Sloane]

​@@vexedpixels it's just a Mashup of other progressive bands, mostly vildhjarta.

[@ballzheimers1782]

Cool stuff but imo sounds just like every other 'core/djent' band

[@rat_king2801]

more djent than prog

[@victormahtapene2573]

Djent Prog my dude

[@Harper_Sloane]

Well I'd argue it's more thall than djent

[@anomalyLG]

Same as every other un-musical djent bonk bonk slide weedly weedly "riff." Shit was dead by 2016.

[@Harper_Sloane]

Awful take. This has way more thall influence than anything from 2016

[@anomalyLG]

@@Harper_Sloane it sucks bad.

[@Harper_Sloane]

@@anomalyLG dawg you're literally a death metal dickrider. You can't sit here with disentomb covers on your channel and say that other metal genres are un-musical. I love death metal, but it's literally just chugs followed by random pull offs and then a pinch harmonic, throw in trem picking if you're feeling brave.

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

This isn’t progressive it’s Djent 😭

[@nicknelson634]

I seem to be the only one that thinks that this riff is really nothing special.

[@downanddirtytruth]

I agree. Nothing great.

[@thewrongneighborhood7847]

whats progressive about this? it sounds like literally everything thats come out since periphery 2.

[@LuckyPkerz]

I mean.. played nicely, but it seems like these guys always write the most try-hard riffs man, kind of tasteless if you ask me

[@x0scimy0x]

Define tryhard in this scenario, I don't see what's tryhard about this riff

[@MegaLaban12345]

Basic

[@66fitton]

Wtf? Is this even music at this point? Talent for sure but I just don't get it. Needs a new word lol

[@Prey.Rock99]

That is really subjective bro! You can’t shrug of shit you personally dont like as non musical its not always about the harmony its about the rhythm too!

[@Prey.Rock99]

And yeah you can call it thall if you’d wish😉

[@kionicxnm]

i don't see why this wouldn't be music? music is subjective so it's very hard to even make random noises that would fall under some of the many broad definitions of music. props for at least recognizing the talent ig 😅
