One of the most underrated bands.

North carolina musicians are the best, and im damn proud to be one.

[@HarveyAVideo]

[@DeadArtistsDrawFlies]

I can't wait to see these guys on the Metal Alliance Tour. People need to fucking watch this!! These guys are so under-appreciated.

[@WayToTheDawn127]

Steven, you define the true meaning of metal and guitar shredding all in one piece of material......YOU ARE FUCKING AMAZING!!!

[@bretched]

[@rudolf37rudolf]

saw these guys live they were the best band i have ever seen in my entire life so amazing :D

[@jswazz9264]

That fucking rules! Some of the best metal I've ever heard; and I've heard a lot.

[@z0mgzt0m]

holy shit so many sick bands on victory records

[@hilariousgas]

He has such excellent hand position, it's like watching Segovia.

[@Alexander6843]

this needs a lot more views.

[@ChaostheClown]

This whole band is fuckin spectacular. Just saw them live and goddamn I was impressed.

[@SammySam7x]

This guy is a machine!

[@DirtyHomeles]

fucking hell sick video! this guy is true musician he knows every single note on his guitar

[@WayToTheDawn127]

This guy defines the true meaning of metal!!

[@rammice]

I fucking love you guys, you're the best band I've discovered since In Flames a looong time ago

[@shREDhead44]

his tone is sick!!

[@WRETCHEDNC]

Thanks for the kind words! That's awesome about the poster. \m/

[@A1ex1sBB]

yeah awesome ! \m/

[@WRETCHEDNC]

Thanks man. I like the 7 and 8 string stuff a lot of bands are doing, but I prefer to stick with 6.

[@IAMBRIANJOHANSON]

Still my favorite guitar tone. Fucking juicy

[@WRETCHEDNC]

Thanks dude!

[@NipplesMagee]

Fucking flawless.

[@xXxIncisionxXx]

@574R5CR34M You said that just because he wrote it means he can play it. I was just adding onto what you said, not dissing you. I've got nothing but mad respect for Wretched. My band band even has a show with them coming up and my guitarist who has been playing for six years and is one of the best I've ever seen play always says that Wretched is even better live and talks about how perfectly they play their crazy songs.

[@AeowCorpse21]

great

[@WRETCHEDNC]

It's because that arpeggiated lick is what John plays. I play the rhythm behind on the CD and live. - Steven/Wretched

[@chichipoos]

yeah son! \m/

[@DecapitatedOwns666]

fucking awesome

[@rockout327]

woot!

[@Bitchflakes666]

this guy blows that guy from within the ruins away

[@Deathcore4christ]

i feel that they would get further on a different label. fuck victory... ive met a few bands that are on their label. and they hated it. I feel that century media or Sumerian records they would have a better future for Wretched. they have an immense amount of talent.

[@Bawb17]

Yeah I just saw them last night and they are one of the best bands I've ever seen. Very underrated band.

[@elasdickband027]

I'd say Metal Blade. They'll blow up on that label, it's the perfect home for them.

[@bradleystockton6505]

I agree metal blade would be much better for them.

[@MarkxxM]

:O beastt

[@CircularLogic924]

@Coasterpimp123 Cuz he's in the band! :D

[@TheXPERTG]

Hell Yeah !!!!! 3:D

[@meeee32156]

awesome song...what goes flying at 2:16?

[@dfencerocks]

@Coasterpimp123 obviously, he did write that

[@luner1313]

i went to school with him and the drummer :D

[@bngreen89]

@Multipatterns btbam is no longer on victory. theyre with metal blade now.

[@ralankjr]

damn this is just amazing really wretched is my favorite metal band this music is to me what the perfect metal band sounds like with the brutality and the incredible instrumentals on all 3 albums fack i wish one day i could be as creative and skilled as these motherfuckers rock on. getting my signed son of perdition poster framed this week \m/

[@stevewalker6340]

respect the jean shorts!

[@xWTFeverXcorex]

I've been trying to learn this song, but fail epically. any tabs?

[@imnicksadler]

what key is this song in? Thanks :)

[@Sk3tch22]

1:08 i went 6 to midnight

[@Coyseph]

@Coasterpimp123 That's how good musicians do it lol.

[@sossy1]

@Coasterpimp123 well he did write..

[@PeaceDisturber]

I'm glad somebody that's really good at guitar actually moves their wrist like I do when they play haha. Whenever I see players of this caliber they all seem to have that malmsteen thing down where they barely move their hand while playing a millions notes per second.

[@BobbyChounramany]

0:48 is actually hard as cold nipples to play fluently. its fairly decent jump.

[@jacksdrumshop]

those pants are metal

[@iheartLouis1]

No disrespect to extended range bands, but its nice to see an awesome new metal band that shreds six strings. Mostly because I can't afford a seven string.

[@xXxIncisionxXx]

@574R5CR34M Yeah I know. Check my vids of my band. We're nothing special and we jump styles a lot. But we're getting a lot better.

[@choganskateboarding]

@eddieboy1234 He's the rhythym.

[@JesusMEDM]

@theartofshred I fucking agree with , if you are a metalhead , disliking it is impossible , and dislinking wretched to !

[@AgentSpiral]

@Coasterpimp123 Why would he?He wrote the song..

[@ihatethebeatles34]

I like how even the squeal at 2:08 is perfect, lol.

This guy is troo!

[@sossy1]

@Coasterpimp123 it*

[@connormartini]

@nickluvheat idk the key but the tuning is dropped b

[@NicIsbRuTaL1]

@seanr1013q haha wretched is the reason why i wanna get better not give up, i mean i can play the whole beyond the gate album minus some of the solos x) (sure it took me time, i didnt get it super quick but i stuck with it and pushed myself) all you need is practice and dedication and you can do it bro :D

[@brandon5pennies]

thick ass tone

[@surreptitiouswritings]

neither of the guitar players in Wretched are the "lead" guitar player. They BOTH play lead parts and solos. Steve just does the majority of riffing in this one.

[@NicIsbRuTaL1]

@nickluvheat its in drop b

[@TheAngryKeebler]

Hah! One of the other guys throws something at him at 2:14.

[@surreptitiouswritings]

he definitely should have played the lead part at 1:09!!

[@VcExPos3d]

I don't see what the arguement is about breakdowns. In my opinion its much more fun to mosh too. Complex solo's release an infulx of emotion. Two solely different things. I personally prefer music that combines them. No reason you can't have both. And holy shit why is the drummer of fall out boy playing guitar in this video.

[@Cypher858]

D: awh he didnt play the part at 1:09

[@jessmanp]

That one finger is flyin out wide... Ahaha

[@choganskateboarding]

Hmm I could've sworn this guy played a Shecter. Anyway,cool new release by these guys.

[@BobbyChounramany]

drop B tuning

[@straightedger9]

:-D

[@atari3200t]

Makes me think of what Protest the Hero would sound like if they had a singer with testicles and exclusively played death metal

[@BMTHization]

@djmcsheehy78 damn striaght

[@Shad0wz69]

thall as fuck

[@JeremyPringsheim]

you're half right...

[@KippSa]

@WaylonI you don't think within the ruins is good? mfw

[@xXxIncisionxXx]

@574R5CR34M The dudes from Dragonforce can't even play Through The Fire And Flames. Just because you wrote it doesn't mean anything. Every hear of a computer programmed instruments?

[@AlisterTate]

I just came for 1:04-1:16

[@Adam32295]

ieatcatsforfun321. You say melodic death metal is about releasing and building tension... just so you know, ALL music, no matter how simple, or complex, weather its metal, or rap, or an opera, ALL music is just tension and release

[@grimslider75]

a tautology.

[@BMTHization]

@Bitchflakes666 but, it is good

[@DEANVX93]

its funny because he looks like somewhat of a nerd but he shreds

[@MrMIKEhawk420]

That guitar is pregnant now.

[@jerrykelley1256]

this fucking pisses me off. this is no longer a band. how in the fuck is that possible? they had all the talent and then some. this was one of, if not, my favorite death metal bands. how can they no longer be a band? I really dont get why bands like Suicide Silence are more popular than this music. this band was like a death metal version of mozart. I need new wretched music in my life.

[@Thepaulislame]

New album coming soon on Metal Blade records ;)

[@xPATRIKOSx]

he didnt play that sweet riff at 1:09 :/

[@WRETCHEDNC]

hahah

[@WRETCHEDNC]

It would be a lot easier in a Standard tuning. But yes, that jump does suck!

[@meepmop666]

alex is a mormon

[@buzzardz43]

I guess its not his part :T

[@WaylonI]

Wretched is like the only band giving this label a good name, the rest is deathcore trash.
