When you can get the metalheads to headbang in your jazz fusion composition, you know you've made it.

[@nickoga2112]

So. Fucking. Metal. Jazzy. Prog. Armenian?. Indian? Loved the mashup of styles. This song is so rich in musical styles and timings.

[@danielallocca7770]

That little stick trick at 6:36 is everything. Reminds me of drum corps

[@pedrofrazao2096]

i'm so happy just cause this exists and i'm alive to hear it

[@toprak3479]

"Tim, how many times do I need to repeat this? Classical guitar isn't a percussion instrument." "SHUT UP MOM"

[@alviamarata827]

tigran as leaders!

[@crunchyonion]

2:25 me, approving of literally everything Tigran does

[@lucasurbina1273]

6:28 when we said "takatetitdektiatato" i really felt that...

[@beckycartel]

The squirrel that lives in my backyard is named Tyrone. He comes in my garage sometimes. I'm feeding him peanuts right now. He likes this song.

[@samuelmarconett1979]

"Djent song I wrote" -Tigran Hamasyan

[@koooole]

A monastery is in white flames Rocks are melting Birds are chirping A kid is playing on gran-pa's anvil Fumes are rising Metals are dripping The Alchemist is mixing the crucible

[@arrrgr]

I let my newborn baby boy listen to this, he instantly turned 22, learned to play the bass, built a Time Machine, went back in time and replaced the bassist with himself.

[@999Mher]

Who wants some TRADITIONAL ARMENIAN DJENT?!!!

[@Goldenleka]

damn son! Such a 10 out of 10 arrangement. So pleasing for my adhd mind - growing up listening to Meshuggah, Pantera, Miles Davis, D`Angelo, Badu, albanian folk music, Primus, Gong and what have you. Why keep it in one genre. Just arrange music that is fun to play - and it will be a joy to listen to. Thank you for making something I can go back to.

[@hilalpilavci3992]

Fun fact: He has mentioned in an interview that his favourite band is Meshuggah, a swedish progressive metal band! This man is a genius. I have never felt an artist music so deeply in my emotions as his!

[@LlamaMommaDrama]

You rarely see guys enjoying what they're playing than those drummers. Holy, they look like they're having a freakin blast.

[@TheVGDrumCovers]

As someone who grew up listening to System of a Down but now almost exclusively listens to prog and math rock, I think I've found something very special here.

[@DaarkMana]

Charles Cornell introduced me to Tigran Hamasyan. I’m so grateful!

[@disgustangy4901]

I knew about before the Charles Cornell video, but same.

[@danielrc14]

6:14 top 10 rappers eminem was too afraid to diss

[@MrTherooster97]

6:06 -6:48 Mans spittin’ BARS 🔥

[@kaiowens1616]

This is genuinely one of the most incredible musical arrangements and performances I have ever witnessed. this right here is why I want to pursue music. Nothing else makes me feel like this

[@yeahuri4724]

It's been a long time since someone actually make prog sounds original.This is so much better than shredding over the top, and not to say much much creative, more musical to be exact.10/10 prog over here guys.

Agreed - the only part that sounded out of place was the Indian chanting by Jayaraman. India is not really a part of Middle East so it sounds as foreign as a classical piece would, compared to the rest of the song..

[@war4peace1979]

Yea I was impressed and in a very good way. I don't even remember when was the last time I was impressed that much, probably Dent's Verstarker was the last album I liked that much.

[@celestialmonkey]

There's plenty of great prog coming out still. You just need to know where to look.

[@Snowbound2643]

its called fusion for a reason

[@drewsleyy3836]

THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS!!! Tigran cannot possibly be a real person, good lord

[@djoc417]

needs more views? it just got uploaded lol

[@QianDrums]

Still watching it in 2024. 😍

[@Scooby-Doo23]

The bassist is working so hard it's amazing....

[@HandMadeHippo]

If this was on Spotify it would be my number 1 every year

[@adeleisnofail]

I've listened to this so many times and only just realized that he is whispering/scatting during his piano solo at 3:29 which gives me some more insight into the brilliance of his musical mind. Amazing!

[@danielapazos8891]

omfg i almost died because of the epicness of this

[@kombokenji]

That whole section between 3:29-4:22 was absolutely amazing. I love that little almost a minute of calm like jazz, idk how to describe it

[@vicentealvarado5608]

Is that MARO singing? The link we needed between Jacob and tigran

[@robchitsonzojr.9056]

That Konnakol part 🔥💃 !!! Everything about this is absolutely amazing... Meshuggah vibes😎

[@PAINRULEZ]

This is by far the best version of this song.

[@abhimanyukhadwal]

Respect from India. This has been nothing but extraordinary

[@michaelkilgore]

This is one of the most moving live recordings I have witnessed.

[@MsDavo123]

omg Djent mixed with ethic jazz, and indian bro absolutely killed it with his insane vocal odd time signature

[@itscalledsonder3785]

I've watched this for what seems like a million times, and I still can't get over how much fun everyone is having. Love this so much!

[@juan.espinosa]

This is what creative people do when they set norms aside. Several timing nightmares that are simply mesmerizing surrounded by beautiful singing, wonderful!

[@mikestix78]

6:36 " I got you bro"

[@AkleaNeon]

I saw the piano and thought - ahhh some jazz again, and then THIS MAGIC EXPLOSION OF SOUNDS AND BLENDS happened. umami for the ears all the way. wooow. WOW.

[@skoto8219]

2:03 i just noticed he's playing the choir part with his right hand and the crazy bass polyrhythm with his left. before i assumed he was just doubling the bass there. insane.

[@arishok77]

Wonderful to hear Berklee chorus sing Armenian! This was amazing!

[@blacklabel131]

This is actually heavy af.

[@vroomoon]

I love that MARO is just casually one of the backup singers.

[@xenophagia]

Good god. The entire band is just incredible. And the way the two drummers work together is awesome! Tigran Djents hard as hell!

[@menouaaa]

This is a combination of many amazing Armenian traditional songs, it's cool how he's composed it

[@bradgrossman3704]

Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders (amazing metal instrumental band) took over SiriusXM's Liquid Metal for a half hour, playing some of his faves. This was one of them. My reaction "What the hell was that?". In the best possible way, had the same reaction when hearing Animals as Leaders the first time on that channel. Quite amazing!

[@darryllouis245]

That metal feel though.... Just awesome.

[@forgettable8365]

The heaviest Jazz in the world

[@Aletchko]

This is the best composition I've heard since discovering Stravinsky!

[@Roryagreen]

This is without a doubt one of the most creative pieces of music I’ve ever heard, I’m LIVING for this drum set up!

[@emmar.3487]

i've watched this at least 20 times

[@5hyguy42]

So exited for his next album Tigran is my favourite musician hands down

[@nicholasbenish618]

best part is the cut at 2:14 from the very serious focused faces of the amazaing chorus in this recording to the guitarist absolutely losing it

[@SonicVisualGR]

This is by far one of the best compositions I've heard for the last 20 years, Thank you great Tigran, all the great musicians, and all the cast for creating this masterpiece!

[@daveh3766]

Almost didn't watch, but so glad I did. Awesome! Mirror drummers a 6:40 sharing stick for roll is just sick!

[@martinpaddle]

On a previous Tigran Hamasyan video someone must have asked "But can he djent?"

[@baguettedeatun]

Its so amazing that every musician seems to be enjoying the hell out of themselves

[@heladoscuro5074]

God... This is the pure definition of talent

[@tatevvermisheva4464]

I don't know how to express my emotions and feelings. This is insane ~

[@charleskiesling9774]

This piece of music feels like it is truly the product of all the music that came before it, like all the history of music led to this. Stunning, and I can't wait to hear more things like this

[@carolynrupp7162]

I'm in the midst of watching this completely enthralled. Leaning forward in my seat. And then 6:37 happens and I had to burst out laughing. Perfection.

[@edonave]

This is the best thing happened in YEARS. I'm truly moved.

[@uti58]

Pardon my language but, MOTHER FUCKER... This just automatically played on my on one of the KZbin Playlist. First it grabbed my attention and then it kept me in awe, through and through. The composition, the arrangement, the instrumentalists and damn that metal section. I am not sure how many times will I listen to it on repeat...!!!

[@BANGKOKJUNGLE]

The evolution of music takes another giant step forward. Genius.

[@gruwer92]

Omg. What an amazing performance. So many cultures gathered in one place.

[@mmmbetter55]

I didn't know music could get this good. I've just discovered Tigran, whoa. WHOA!

[@jahinstrument]

WTF, I HAD TO CRY? My whole body is shaking

[@tigranmarutyan]

It’s like heaven for every musician here, they enjoy every millisecond , me too Thank you Tigran and everyone who made this fantastic music . you are the best

[@uchooo6303]

Its a mix of what I enjoy the most in music. Just the best song ever, I dont even have the words to describe it.

[@frombeyond5]

I love to hear Tigran's mumbling each time he is concentrated on the piano

[@Natalie-nh8vj]

OMG this is the most amazing song i`ve ever listened to. like 100 out of 10! it repeats over and over and over on my playlist

[@ariadnabernardeau3727]

Amo con todo mi corazón esta pieza, no puedo expresar con palabras lo que me produce, solo decirle felicitaciones por traer algo tan divino a esta tierra.

[@stephenweston6514]

It's so cool seeing the rhythm section grimace just trying to count the tuplets and the sense of achievement when they nail it

[@DavidIzkierdoArispon]

No he visto pianista contemporáneo con tantas influencias musicales y virtuosismo como este tío! Bravo !

[@harrypethel6388]

When I saw Yogev Gabay on drums I was so happy. He introduced me to Tigran with his cover of Out Of the Grid

[@bazdesh]

6:36 hehehe

[@attuneu]

this is best music I've ever heard, not to say all other music is lesser, it is not, yet the absolute command, mastery,dynamics,sheer musicality, the interplay, the visual feast, the glory thank you

[@Lucius338]

Such a jam. This song never tires. This and several other works by Tigran have been on my daughter's playlist since she was born. Now that she's a bit older, whenever we let her pick on youtube, she brings us to either Tigran Hamasyan, Jacob Collier, or Snarky Puppy.

[@asmodeo111]

Tigran its a real genius of this modern era !!! maybe is "The" genius, and it's only 30 yo .

[@danilomcn1]

Incrível, belíssimo. Suave, pesado, poético e agressivo. Tigran é um gênio a nível de Beethoven, Debussy, Mozart e Bach. Ainda consegue ser melhor, pois mistura vários ritmos, tendências e estilos no jazz, como o heavy metal.

[@Spergen]

If anyone is curious, or wanting to hear more of Tigran's in the same vein, the ending 'riff' @5:45 and again @7:00 is the prominent groove/riff in Tigran's song 'Red Hail' on his album 'Red Hail'. The chord progressions heard around 1:57 and throughout the middle of the track also sound very familiar to those heard in 'The Grid/Out of the Grid' and other songs on Mockroot. I can't get enough of his more groovy stuff like this, if anyone has any recommendations similar to this I would love to hear them also :)

[@CharlesHx]

I am speechless. Watched it five times in a row - and counting. Thank you.

[@RandomGuitarist7]

Found myself coming back to this every time. Amazing.

[@ChrisDiBernardoMusic]

Somebody re-attach my head, it snapped off head-banging

[@RiKoOIBG98]

Beautiful! What a brave bunch of cats, coming up with the extraordinary arrangement.. Tigran is the man

[@yestfmf]

This piece blows me away. Jazz, armenian folk, METAL, with irregular tempos. AND multiple vocalist and an....auctioneer?

[@malydok]

For any of you metalheads out there, the guitarist, bassist and drummer (right hand side) are from the isreali band Distorted Harmony, highly recommended. The drummer, Yogev, also has a YT channel breaking down drumming - he's a cool guy. Then there's also MARO singing, who I thought was an established artist by then and has pieces with Jacob Collier among others. And then I probably only haven't stumbled upon the other musicians but the amount of talent in this single arrangement is quite something. Berklee really is the top music school I guess.

[@narekkhalafyan643]

Tigran is a remarkable musician and composer. I am happy to be his contemporary and compatriot.

[@308atalay]

Do you realize how much people always enjoy playing with him?

[@amymalina5073]

Talk about hearing music that feels completely new and different! I am so impressed with the vitality, variety and interest of this music. This area of the world produces some incredible music. A big shout out to Berklee too for their open mind to all kinds of music and their openness in general in educating people to be musicians in the deepest, most meaningful ways. The school is growing and changing and the students along with it. Forget the arrogance of some of these rigid music conservatories. Berklee is leading the way to something really special and new

[@mertplaysguitar]

The beauty of this composition brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful 🙏🏻👌🏻

[@lumo_]

the bassist is the guy that played on the Meme Medley back in 2011, figured that just now. It's cool to see how good he got!

[@Jojooo64]

Of course I enjoyed his last 3 albums but I miss this mind-blowing Red Hail-spirit soooo much. I would love to hear more music in the style of Mockroot and Red Hail

[@joaoguerreiro52]

He'll get back into it i'm sure. I think Shadow theater was the perfect blend of his armenian, jazz and metal influences.

[@ayhamarand5794]

its a 2021 and still my favorite .. when u make a metalhead banging his head on this legendary music you have to know you nailed it guys

[@musicfan8867]

Didn't know I would be able to hold my breath for 8 minutes... absurd in the best possible way, what some people are able to accomplish.

[@raammaharsh3029]

Just amazing! Jazz vibe + armenian influences. Cool!

[@giaguaroturchinoYOY]

Adam Neely listed him as one of the most infulencial pianists right now

[@fifaresfifax2731]

i discover you workin on stage at the jazz music festival in Nice( France), now you are a part of my life

[@henning-bass7648]

This is so amazingly good...I'm completely overwhelmed by the musicianship and skill!
