Damn, and damned, bro. Good. Good. The suffering shall be immense.

[@CapsuleClub-fz6gu]

Dudes I am loving every single band you guys put out. But personally Demon King is just like *chef's kiss* the hottest shit to me. It's speaking to me so much.

[@daseiinn]

This brings me great pleasure.

[@Bumzen]

I came to the comments for this.

[@russellzauner]

It's only because the punishment is so deservedly inhumane and utterly without regret OR disdain. Clean. Sterile. Precise. Hieroglyphic knowledge for the ears of confused and slowly unhinging archaeologists who discover the curses we created for those who existed and those who would exist after, should they exist. If we have lived correctly, they won't.

[@russellzauner]

@@Bumzen so the comments made you come? Nice.

[@Moluminati]

2:50 heavy and insanely welcome The Faceless vibes, love this so much

[@ianurbaitis]

Starting: “Ahh cool! I love blackened tech death! “ @1:25 : 😳😱🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@ryanh1892]

You know this appeals to guitarists when the comment section is all about that 1:30 tapping! Very cool

[@Jeffmetal42]

As soon as I heard the opening riffs I thought, "damn, homie channeling Enfold Darkness."... Then I noticed he looked like Matt Brown... Then I noticed it IS Matt Brown. Dude is a fucking maniac of a riff machine. Stoked to hear more new stuff, top 10 of my favorite guitarists in Metal no contest.

[@russellzauner]

TLDR; *artist once again outperforms technology* I've seen brutal right hand technique. This is a couple steps up from that so I don't really have a word for it yet. All the mental muscle memory I've learned up to this point barely enabled me to see the fucken thing much less track it fully...honestly, the best argument for any frame rate above 120 is now HIM. There are literally missing frames. My kids hate it when I do this at some 3D movies back in the day...I can hear things that the camera literally cannot track. My brain is interpolating a lot of it so I think I see probably more than is actually even printed on the frame because the audio sampling rate is MUCH higher than the image sampling rate so it's not just higher fidelity, it's higher "quality" which means you can actually hear things that would otherwise be lost in the A/D/A transition. You can only play back the data you have, and even in "lossless" encodings there is some actual loss of both fidelity and quality, so it is essential to sample out at the greatest bit density/highest sample rate/widest input bandwidth you possibly can because everything is going to be reconstruction of that original data and with modern tools you can always re-edit a master, even automatically, with plug-in updates, etc. I even have test plans and version control that manage such things. :-) But I digress. As usual.

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

russell zauner we recorded the video in a high frame rate. I think that may have something to do with it.

[@russellzauner]

@@DemonKingOFFICIAL do with what? the fact that unless you're using a 15k USD camera minimum you are not going to be able to capture everything that happens here - just do the math lol - it's a compliment man. My CV on LI shows that my last gig was in metrology which is basically capturing and measuring the uncapturable and unmeasurable. :-) It would be cheaper just to use a super high rate scanning technology and reconstruct it in rendered videos probably. If you had predictive imaging technology and fed it the tune one might be able to have it focus higher scan rates on particular pixel sets and be able to capture more from the parts that are actually moving and interpolate the nearly static data. When someone plays so fast I can't really pick it out these days upon repeated playbacks of a legit video playthrough, it's pretty goddamned fast and it sounds GREAT. Lots of people can play fast but this was also really really enjoyable to listen to. :-) Thanks for posting it and working on the playthrough!

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

@@russellzauner gotcha man cool thanks !

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

@Jeffmetal 42 thanks man glad you like it. There’s a new playthrough up actually, if you haven’t seen it!

[@ImpureAchilles115]

I swear man, its like TAE has never disappointed or put out anything that I don't wanna listen to, each new release and band just elevates this label to whole new level i didn't even know was possible 🔥

[@Graive17]

Fuck yea , I agree with this in every sense. There are very few labels that can pull it off this TAE does

[@russellzauner]

get together with other publishers, I've been picking on the local metal bands here and there to goad into some sort of global anger festival of metal that's fresh and real...we have large outdoor areas in the woods that are really great to hide the bodies/have festivals. There is so much great metal coming out in the past decade that it's hard to listen to it all ha ha ha bless the bomb and youtube all hail the mighty internet connector of metal!

[@alexandermazilu7087]

Agreed, they are my go to, pretty much the new standard for discovering top notch tech death bands. I applaud them.

[@tromboneman4517]

I swear there are more riffs in the first minute than there are in entire songs of even other excellent tech death.

[@logos_motorider6274]

Love it !!!!! 1:31

[@cruznik099]

Real Demon Kings unleashing magma of madness and enjoyment!

[@theofficialmaskofinsanity]

Damn, that's solid playing right there! And love the Darth Vader-head in the background xD

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

You don’t ... know ... the POWAH ... of the Dark Side.

[@cmr2003]

Malcolm Pugh is everywhere 🤣 and that is good

[@saddamemirpratama2660]

As a die hard Enfold Darkness fan, i found this fascinating. If you never listen to Enfold Darkness, i bet you'll find this fascinating too.

[@virulentdepravity6364]

i think current enfold and demon king sound very different

[@aldrinxchuaexecratedph2116]

really inspire by riffs

[@morallyemptycorruptedmaggot]

Enfold darkness and inferi joining together to crush everything! Nice to see Jack back in the game, the guy destroys the drums!

[@novantium3760]

The outro is *chef's kiss*

When I grow up I want to be half as good as him ❤️

[@noacrates378]

It was only a matter of time for these guys made their way onto AE. Nice

Wow. Playing in the ZONE. Magnificent, sir!

[@Voidaram]

[@sincerus2947]

[@simonfrances4907]

This line up is basically Enfold Darkness 2

[@HKKetoRecipes]

Sick!!!!!!

[@ronburgundy2660]

That was nasty. I can't wait til y'all release a full length and are touring.

[@ChaoticEvil123]

The opening riff caught me and the song never let me go. Makes me wonder why anyone would downvote this. Blackened tech death \m/

[@skuminator]

goddamn impressive

[@localizer3195]

recognized the glasses and the king v and immediately knew my face was about to get torched.

Classic news, had been waiting for more since they dropped this Epic song last year. Top work on another Brilliant signing.

[@DoggoWillink]

The riffs are phat

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@CapsuleClub-fz6gu]

Damn I love this shit! It is scratching so many itches for me. I think I'm going through a mid-life crisis cause I'm starting to wear band shirts again and getting back heavy into the metal scene. Hell, I might even go to a show soon! Is 38 too old to go to show??

[@matthewbrown8391]

Hell no. You’re not too old until you start thinking you are.

[@СтепанФлекей]

So great

[@lbb2rfarangkiinok]

Was waiting for this to come out. I guess youtube figured it out and was like here you go, 5 months late bro.

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

The way she goes, boys. The way she goes.

[@garry4107]

this is so sick

[@Moshua_Gerstein]

I absolutely cannot wait. I listen to this at least once a day on bandcamp. So good.
