Most people don't understand metal music. I come from a classical music background, and I can say, without a doubt, these musicians are as much ,or more so so, talented as any classical musicians today. To memorize these complicated compositions, without sheet music, is to me, astounding...and the technical virtuosity they exhibit instrumentally is unprecedented..

[@diocletiandondarrion7102]

My brother is heavy into music. Not super into all the metal genres like I am, but I whole heartedly agree that memorizing songs like this, let alone having the stamina to play a whole shows worth is a physical feat.

[@robr9170]

As amazing these guys are I think it’s a bit much to compare to a classical musician, world class soloist regularly play hours worth of material from memory with absolutely no room for mistake.

[@boregup-ipjames7603]

@@robr9170yes, they play (tracks they’ve learned, not written themselves) and songs that are played and performed at nowhere near the BPM that majority or extreme metal is composed at. Like saying day & night are comparable for general warmth. Two vastly different paradigms

[@tomaszkaminski6495]

I will be happy to quote your statement in an essay on the new (21st century) metal music just devised, intended to make the highly cultured audience of the literary quarterly aware of what a colossus this otherwise charming monster called metal has grown into, which it (this audience) has always been rather afraid of.... :)

[@ChrisS602]

As an extreme metal drummer myself your words are very kind and appreciated. Thank you.

[@simonecioppa4817]

jamie's drumming skills are unbelivable.

[@ernestoflores1057]

Dont think he knows how to play hahahahaha 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Became a fan last year, only took one song from the first album I believe. Don't know if headbanging is allowed

[@Gregwaaaaaah]

This is THE paramount, upper echelon of technical death metal and videography, PERIOD. Thank you all involved!

[@coisital]

This (as well as the rest of their work) is the best extreme music I have ever discovered. Ulcerate is, in my opinion, the most underrated band ever. Mind bending.

Two requirements to play in Ulcerate: 1) Play everything fast as hell 2) Be bald

Mad respect for the one who filmed this and put the video together.. amazing

[@loicparadis-laperriere7285]

In my opinion they are the best death metal band right now. It's at the same time really brutal, complexe and deep. Most of the time I find death metal band kind of cold and empty : technical without depth. That's not the case with Ulcerate and Jamie St-Merrat is just an incredible drummer, really musical.

[@xbzkxpazvzv6800]

Loïc Paradis-Laperrière i dont know if this guys still doing "death metal" this is so much perfectionist than DM

[@loicparadis-laperriere7285]

This is clearly death metal to me, but a new way of death metal, more complex and rich. In a similar vibe there's also Eryn Non Dae (they are fucking great), Nero di Marte, Zhrine... That's a beautiful new scene of metal.

[@silenceiswhereweare7268]

Yes they are. Actually DM has become in something repetitive or basic sound (Slam) and that is not what DM must be. I really enjoy Ulcerate because they are more than brutallity and speed, they are complexity.

[@longdongsilver9068]

Gorguts been doing this since 89, deathspell omega since 98, the dissonant stuff is only surfacing now, it's in no way new, but it's legions better, thats for sure, check out the youtube channel OdiumNostrum and have yourselves a dissonant field day also Portal is the best band, I'll fight all of you irl

[@loicparadis-laperriere7285]

Yes, and to me there's something really musical in their music. It's full, oppressive and beautiful.

[@faunbudweis]

saw these guys twice live, what a treat, top musicians that are just clearly enjoying themselves

[@olavvandenhogen5951]

This is how you should play death metal! Awesome! The drummer is one of the best out there. Great shooting as well by the cameraman. Ulcerate are, in my opinion, on the fast track to become one of the greats in death metal.

[@craigjames1082]

God I love this band, found this album last year at a rough point in my life. Their music isn't just heavy as fuck and intricate and dissonant, its also got genuine emotion in it, something I feel is lost with a lot of bands who do this style

[@Ribs13]

Just saw them in Syracuse NY on 11/20/23 at the lost Horizon, there were maybe 30 people there. Ulcerate was massive, sounded so fucking good. Their technicality on stage is surreal.

[@TheRoyalKnightPain19]

Being in an Ulcerate's concert must be confusing because you can't even identify a clear pattern to headbang comfortable, their composition and riffs are so dense that you feel obligated to pay as much of attention as possible , and the music and lyrical content has some complexity that you actually want to reflect what are you listening.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

I think no =) But it's not a shame, many bands make post production for a good quality sound on live vidéo. It's just weird to hear 2 guitars and see only one playing :)

No, it's a guitar effect Michael Hoggard use in which he plays the guitar riff and then use the effect to play the other riff. (I read it from an interview).

there was some hate eternal influence definitely on their first full length in the guitar riffs here and there.

[@phaedrus_nz3654]

I'm pretty sure they had a Hate Eternal cover in their regular set list around the first demo era... I remember James introducing the song with "Yeah, this one's a bit difficult" or something similar. I also hear Hate Eternal in another band Michael Hoggard and Jamie St Merat were in around the same time - Misadventures In Self-Surgery - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aF6kiHeMdrSMn5Y - there's a link in the description of that vid to download five tracks as well... the vocalist (and poster of the video) is Ben Read, who was Ulcerate's vocalist on Of Fracture and Failure

[@gabrieljames4910]

There's a riff somewhere in this song that sounds ALOT like a riff in Behold Judas so I get it. It's like Portal had a baby with Hate Eternal or Gorguts.
