You can be proud. 👌🏻

[@simclimie6045]

Another mixdown??????

[@DanWaters]

What a work of art, dude. Respect

[@supermechadug1618]

I'd love to see a mix video for this, sooo much space in this mix, it sounds enormous. The drums breathe so well. Fantastic job, would love to see how you achieved this. Also These tunes are bangers. Every. One.

[@simclimie6045]

Tabea you need to contact Matt Reeves the director of The Batman movie who is directing The Batman 2....and ask him about doing the soundtracks for it

[@hundredarrows]

The melodic intensity of Rabea's riffs are unmatched

[@tudorsintoma9619]

Couldn't have put it better in words. His riffs always have that melodic elememt to them, no matter how heavy or intense, which I think makes him stand out over other guitar players in this genre

[@joesatchton212]

Pretty much every time I listen to music from Rabea I always have a huge smile on my face as I think back to how far that shy, slightly awkward presenter from Anderton's has come. I smile and am, oddly, so frickin' proud of the incredible, versatile, always interesting musician Rabea has become. Onward and upward to more and more success and recognition Bea....Ya done good, but your best is yet to come. XD

[@CaliPsych]

Them Changes: so many people, including me as a rule, are inclined to view someone of immense talent we've only just recently discovered as the "next Hendrix." but Jimi's biggest gripe that I ever was aware of was the sort of thing that his label told him after the Are You Experienced album, which was "give us 4 more of those." he wanted more than anything else to forge ahead with what flowed from within and brought into existence all that he was and is so praised for in the first place. inspiration is a living river, not a stagnation. for the remainder of his brief life he did that and as a result we were gifted with such as Live at the Fillmore East with Buddy MIles. my way of thinking is to want a vocalist that jives with what I'm hearing right here in this work. I do think that could be killer...but I'll just accept it for what it is: something wonderous that I have not heard before. CaliPsych a.k.a. Mr Dave

[@colozeus]

I yelled like a little girl when this popped up in my feed. And now all my neighbors get to enjoy it. :P

[@Kurjistaja]

0:05 Over Jostled 3:12 Less We Know 8:29 Dos Huevos 12:37 Ride Out of Failure

[@mattkay4771]

Let's just take a minute to talk about that mix. Perfect!

[@MrBladecatcher666]

I just love the way you mix a nice beefy low end, with a kick drum that actually sounds like a kick drum. That's kind of rare in heavy music/metal. Great stuff!

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

Yep. I hate the overly boomy + clicky style of a lot of modern metal kicks. This is one you 'feel' and that supports the bass, rather than just overpowering it.

[@liamkdrums]

Agreed!!

[@Landmast3r]

Yes, 1000%. Drummer is bonkers too!

[@donbehatin]

yeah the low end on this is super tasty

[@ellleigh1216]

Yeah I noticed this too! All of Bea's music is heavy but doesn't lean into a lot of the tropes, it is its own sound and massive like nothing else.

[@BigDinnerBoy]

This swings meat dude

[@RabeaMassaad]

You can download my plugin presets I used for this record at this link: ndsp.co/totemist_presets

[@hunterblainauthor]

Powerful.

[@UMCmetal]

Amazing moments in this. Very inspiring

[@OhhGeee]

This man is a god and that axe is his hammer...

[@CaliPsych]

absolutely tangible profundity ! Cali Psych...a.k.a.: Mr Dave

[@poozwonger]

Banging! Less We Know is determined to stop me doing work by flipping my desk over.

[@johnconnearnmusic]

monstrous!!

[@snapfinger1]

A well paced 4 movement Tone Poem. Dark. Thick.

[@CaliPsych]

,,,as pea soup! CaliPsych...a.k.a.: Mr Dave

[@jimpleace7488]

Like my coffee

[@Joesorr324]

The fact this doesnt have more views is criminal

[@patrickr12342]

Give this magic peace some time to get recognized, man. This stuff is amazing.

[@davidlawson5937]

F'n bad ass❤

[@ExpatZ266]

Your drummer is an ADD drummer, I love it. I miss my ADD drummer. He was fun to play with.

[@johnkillink]

yeahhh!!!!!

[@aderhoney6234]

Renews my faith in musicians. Fantastic.

[@MrSamcdavis]

HELL YEAH

[@oleksandrhorskyi8442]

Straight up FIRE. Also Dos Huevos is an instant classic, what a banger!

[@oleksandrhorskyi8442]

Also it's almost criminal if you don't play this live at some point with the amount of content you two generated!

[@chrisp6717]

100% sold FOREVER @6:10 in. Just amazing

[@ronnieeuda]

The sound of two tidal waves collapsing into each other.

[@Rob_van_der_Linden]

So I searched for guitar lessons for beginners and this came up, anyhoo great stuff :-)

[@hogblockula9335]

This was absolutely fantastic, guys

[@dannystumpf321]

i dont know how this flew under my radar man, this is so good

[@walkintheseshoes]

I just keep coming back!

[@drummerguyron]

Killer vibey stuff here.. Not normally a fan of instrumental stuff but yeah this hits.

[@Austin.Hunt.]

Siiiick

[@jmcsquared18]

Idk if you're aware of it, but every piece of music you're part of becomes an instant banger. You have the musical Midas touch.

[@patrickr12342]

Amazing soundscape and a joy to hear. Fantastic work!!!❤🎉❤

[@AlbusBand]

Well damn…🙌

[@TheMid1001]

This is unironically the best ad for Archetype: Rabea. Jokes aside though this is awesome

[@richsilvestri7704]

Mmmm buttery sauce for my ear holes!! Sweet Rabea as always, those drums were nuts as well!

[@andy_stinson]

You write songs like a movie director creating a storyboard

[@nowmonk]

Bring It on!! Hell freaking yeah!!!

[@padbender2972]

beautifully written and savagely played

[@leddygee1896]

Rabea is a Melodicist rather than a soloist. hence, The Totemist!!. Absolutely Brilliant...

[@thehomienicked8208]

Please tour this record. Genuinely one of my favourites of the year. Also, come to Toronto, Canada.

[@mohnjark3739]

Riff God Bea! 🙌

[@MartinReynolds87]

Well this is perfectly metal and excellent, thank you to both of your for your dedication to your music.

[@jamiewilson343]

silver surfer is flyin. well done sir

[@kirkduncan2139]

Sick visuals, killer music. I’m getting some serious Karnivool and Kingcrow vibes.

[@SomeGuyWithaKnife]

Less we know drum groove reminds me a lot of Everything and Nothing by Mudvayne. Cool influence.

[@andrewmanara5289]

Tone killa

[@jonswain4539]

My god… jaw dropping lads! It’s like karnivool and Norma Jean had a progchild! This ep has everything! Tone, groove, amazing feel and writing all round. Literally an absolute pleasure to listen to. Thankyou guys ❤️

[@junctichannel773]

YAAAASSSSS!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@RustyNotesTV]

That guitar tone is absolutely disgusting, in a perfect way! Great job buddy! What a beautiful EP!

[@stephrgmn102]

Okay please, you guys go make a full 1 hour album. That's f*cking great !

[@aaronvansichem]

Dude this is in my opinion some of the best stuff you've ever written!! god damn

[@wjveryzer7985]

FAV moment so far the riff at 10:50 was worth the wait!

[@arsgraff]

Aaaa, I just came now. Rabea is genius!

[@HoldMeForever]

The art cover looks really cool

[@riffstofly]

This is killer! Reminds me of Toska

[@Harmonic-Distortions]

THe title track is fantastic. Nice job!

[@letsallbe-friends1120]

Fantastic riffage! 🙌🙌🙌

[@Mdougherty8054]

Incredible.

[@cnhamm532]

Absolutely incredible! I've loved Toska since I first heard you guys, and Totemist is even better!

[@jaydenshaw4154]

Melodic chaos, face melting riffs with just enough elegance. Drumming is off charts as well, fucking smashed it lads!

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

Rabea is a fan of Sikth so no wonder he likes creating some of the most intense riffs like in parts of these songs.

[@MrSirCadian]

Goes to show that you don't need vocals to convey melody, emotion and weight. Fucking outstanding work by you both

[@matthewbottine363]

This is absolutely phenomenal that drummer is amazing this whole video is perfectly beautiful I could listen to this forever and never get tired of it the music you could fall asleep to!!🎶🔥🔥🤘

[@spiraldrop4897]

Starts as a new Karnivool😃

[@patrickprotzman2407]

This stuff is truly inspired. It contains some of the melodic chunky goodness of the Toska stuff I've loved for years but is decidedly more modern. The drumming super engaging and in your face which matches the intensity of the guitar perfectly. Instant classic!

[@hagimusicproductions3176]

The first 8 bars or so...."yep...that sounds like Rabea" :D

[@J_Ambrus_Films]

This is a fantastic piece of work. Less We Know is my favourite,

[@Kentin2235]

Waouhou, thank you so much you two!!!!

[@SirPraiseSun]

hell yea new music!!

[@pegasusstation4977]

Only just stumbled on this. Great stuff 👍

[@85crossy]

Sensational

[@marcogianesin]

W o w .

[@jmalen123]

Great tunes. Great video. Reminded me of some Karnivool, and that isn't a bad thing my brothers.

[@shea_o_keith]

This is fucking art.

[@wesleyb_92]

Hell yeah brother

[@davedavem]

EPIC!

[@CieDGF]

More !!

[@flexus6309]

Straight fire!🔥🔥🔥

[@tommythecatofficial32actual]

The whole production is absolutely amazing

[@Craigs_mums_bush]

Big Karnivool vibes. Nice one mate!

[@pc2908]

Killer!

[@chrisjohnstone6164]

.... just awesome!

[@simonthompson9380]

Fantastic set of tracks

[@AC-9883]

Please bring this to us live with Dave and Joe completing the lineup 🙏🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻

[@gustavoradaovejas8378]

Brutal energy. Thanks.

[@UKSportsFan]

Awesome stuff, Rabea! The Sabbathy type riff at the 6:10 mark would make a great ringtone 👍

[@foxyfoxtrot4233]

Great tunes! Enjoyable for both their musical content as well as their soundscapes.

[@buaidhnobas1ify]

Killer, thanks, Man.

[@bneum]

Dude, Ride Out of Failure has been on repeat, it is filthy! What a tune, hats off man, great editing for the vid too. But really just some stellar work chaps.

[@bobisadrummer]

Something about seeing the behind the scenes video makes the finished product so much more amazing.

[@hagimusicproductions3176]

This is fooking brilliant

[@royalie9999]

Just amazing !!!

[@filippredin2063]

Immense. As always!

[@erielakemusic]

love "lest we know" but man, those guitar layers, tones and comp on "ride out of failure" are just fantastic.....epic tune, congrats

[@vladimircharkin7806]

marvelous

[@NOaSsistance]

Rabea always gets me to pick up my guitar :DDD

[@gentlewolf1279]

Dang bro... another sick round of tracks

[@paulschlachter4313]

[@davidlawson5937]

Can't stop listening. Love all the breaks. So fluid! Master class!
