We've come a long way, musically at least. In junior high I thought Hells Bells was a heavy ass song. Contrast that to this abosolutely mindblowing listening experience,
Nah, depends on what ya mean by that. Lil Pump type bs then yeah. But wordsmiths and top tier producers? Not even close. I grew up in the hood on r&b, soul, hip hop and some reggae. Wasn't til I was right about in my tweens/teens that I was put in tune with punk, hardcore, some metal and especially their derivatives/synthesis genres like crust, D-beat, thrash, powerviolence, grindcore, blackened crust, death ska, etc. I've known underground, backpack rappers and hip hop producers, punk, hardcore and metal musicians, done a little with hip hop and played in hella bands in a range of genres over the last 20ish years and it all takes different skill sets to make and to consume while picking up the nuances that make it either good, mediocre or shit. It's mad difficult to make a good beat and come up with the rhyme schemes and word play found in good hip hop. But just like every other genre and sub genre, the shit everybody knows is usually the worst they have to offer. There's a lotta really trash rap out there, especially lately. But there's hella trash out there of ever other type of music too lol The Lil's don't definitely rap just like Mushroom Head doesn't define metal 💀
In early July 2019, my daughters and I stood behind these guys in the Air Transat lineup in London Gatwick airport. Even though all of us had been shafted by a 24 flight delay, I was struck by their friendliness, good humour, and good manners. I listened to 25 seconds of this song, and I must say that it ..... stretches the limits of what I typically enjoy. Nevertheless, these seem like decent dudes.
Hah that's awesome... Metal gets a bad rep, a lot of the people are pretty friendly. If you see another metal head rockin a shirt of a band you like, it sparks friendly conversation. I love the stuff, I see why some people don't though.
*Archspire discussing the new album* Dean: "I think our previous albums were not fast enough" Oli: "What the-" Spencer: "Yeah i was thinking the same thing" Oli: "Guys i ca--" Dean: "Ok lets do it"
I have heard that their drummer drops his sticks all the time at shows. Regardless, this band would not be as exiting if it was not for the drummer and vocalist.
What separates Archspire from other crazy fast bands is that not only do they play insane tempos but also the composition works very well. Other bands tend to just shred random parts in the song and call it that. Archspire arranges all those fast notes and turns it into something I can put on repeat.
Definitely one of the best modern tech death bands. I like how they can play super technical without sacrificing musicality and descending into wankery, like it's really melodic the whole time it feels almost like baroque chamber music but like heavy.
There are hundreds of TDM bands on my phone, and even if I shuffle, I can still tell which band it is just by hearing the first few seconds. That's why this genre is so awesome -- no limits, just endless space for creativity.
It is so amazing how these bands not only showcase such a complex and intricate playing and composition, but each song sounds so unique and otherworldly.
How is it so... segmented? Sounds like some sort of insectoid alien creature

@@lred1383 Yeah they probably use some fx or editing to get the glitch effect in the recording. However, from what I can tell, he seems to be able to nail the same tone of growl when he does it live.
I am pretty sure this is the best album I will ever hear. It is perfect. From start to finish. Every second of it pure fun, bliss and face melt. Thank you so much for this.
Yeah it's great, but don't lose hope, there's other good stuff out there too like Bufihimat - I, another 30 min album where every song is "listenable" it's really a mindfuck of an album, trippy metal where the songs all randomly transition into something else at some point than you thought it was when it started. Not to mention all the great stuff by Chimaira/Decapitated/Septicflesh ect. I also discovered another one recently called Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name.
@@w33d533d Thanks for the recommendations :) I know all of these and they are great albums! I actually have come to love another album album even more than thia one here. Ulcerate - Stare into death and be still. Absolute masterpiece, you should check it out!
With Rings of Saturn completely dropping the ball on their new album, the throne for king of tech-death is open for Archspire. Outstanding pacing and riffs here. What an exciting track!
Lugal Ki En is pretty sick. Like Archspire a lot. Actually have a hard copy of All Shall Align. Very hard to find. Spawn Of Possession did the speed rap delivery first as far as I know (I could be wrong of course.), so I tend to consider them to be the originators of that style, but Archspire definitely have their own sound. New song is one of their best IMHO. Some writers consider Desecravity to be a Japanese Cryptopsy clone, but I think they are better. Both Archspire and Desecravity have their own identities at this point, so I am eager to see how great both bands become. Cheers.
Very progressive and technical elements. In general I like it, especially the video. What I like about Archspire is that they don’t write songs with same cliche formula that many heavy metal bands follow.
Forest Shouts Back I'm so glad you're an Archspire fan haha. I've seen them live six times and they are just as amazing live. I swear Spencer breaks cymbals every show.
Retrovirus Spawn of Possession get so much praise but I just don't get it. Them and Obscura are just so overhyped, and then bands like Artificial Brain and Virvum somehow get passed over. Just don't get it personally.
i cannot stop it my skin is alive may be the most unsettling lyric in archspire. and then shortly after its followed by the most beautiful instrumental break in a song. what the fuck
This is the band that inspired me to start a solo career playing with my slide-flute! I thought to myself 'how can I write music with this tiny windblown instrument with depth and creativity and not totally plagiarize Archspire? IMPOSSIBLE!' lol!
Case in point, his mother had done the same as him for all this time to see her son again, and there he stood: the cloak of others made her impossible to recognize, and she carved him like any other martyr of their guise
It's not just the speed of the vocals (and other instruments) that is impressive, but the ability to memorize all of it. So many lines in one song. Hell I probably couldn't memorize any of their songs on any instrument, even when it's something I'm better at, like drums.
![Archspire - Involuntary Doppelgänger [Live in Montreal]](/img/n.gif)
This 4 minute song has more snare hits than the whole of ACDC's disography.
We've come a long way, musically at least. In junior high I thought Hells Bells was a heavy ass song. Contrast that to this abosolutely mindblowing listening experience,
No neck lol
More snare than IM .. Amen to that 😁
Could be possible...welcome to the world of Tech death 😁

1 minute late for a Archspire show. Only missed the first 6 thousand notes
Hayden Hayden haha
And the first thousand words
So different to a Sunn O))) show lol 😂

Listening at half-speed, you can really hear him enunciate every syllable!
Indeed it is quite incredible
and it sounds a little like dethklok XD
Listening at 2x speed, you can travel to an alternate dimension.
Jerry Grannan i had to overclock everything for my pc to be able to run it at 2x
Instructions confusing. Dick stuck in ceiling fan. Halp.
This reminds me of a meme of a guy with a lone face and text that says:
"10 minutes late for a grindcore show
Missed the first 2 bands."

play it the other way around... "oh, I'm half an hour too late for the Funeral Doom band... oh, they have just finished their first song, great!"

This album has more lyrics than....well I don't know.
@Dawn Razor Not really, it's a thrilling story as long as you have a hint of imagination

"can you do it in 4 minutes"

3:31 those super fast "BLEAGH!!" get me every time
The musicianship here is insane.
I felt like Oli was taking oxygen from me because I was panting at the end of the song
It's like a spirit bomb, he needs energy from the listeners
Their tempo level just broke my scouter
Brandon Castaneda it may have been over 9000.
This song makes normal time slow down. Use with caution.
Jordan Thaler true this, i listened to the new thy art is murder song and i rendered everything as skank beats
Its true. I thought the song was like 6 minutes long.....shocked to find out it was only 3.
🤣
Eminem been real quiet since this dropped.
I love that the vocalist actually does the growl at 1:40 when they're performing live.

With Rings of Saturn completely dropping the ball on their new album, the throne for king of tech-death is open for Archspire. Outstanding pacing and riffs here. What an exciting track!
Great band, but king? No. I can't believe you even mentioned the other band. You didn't even mention Desecravity.
I have never listened to Descravity before. But I don't have to. Lugal Ki En is the greatest tech-death album of all time.
Lugal Ki En is pretty sick. Like Archspire a lot. Actually have a hard copy of All Shall Align. Very hard to find.

Check out the song "Deviltry." Pure tech goodness. Enjoy.
Lugal Ki En was pretty boring to me.
Album of the year to my opinion. The "easy" melodic solo part is just wonderful
You guys really aren't letting go of that craziest band in death metal title, this why you guys are my favourite death metal band.
Usually quick snare songs sound dumb to me, but I can"t stop listening to this song, a masterpiece 👍
these guys never dissapoint, good shit
Came here with a broken heart over the new Rings of Saturn song. Worth it.
Very progressive and technical elements. In general I like it, especially the video. What I like about Archspire is that they don’t write songs with same cliche formula that many heavy metal bands follow.
I tried headbanging to this.
Long story short, i'm bored at the hospital, can someone recommend some nice movies ?
Watched it at half speed, and he does indeed pronounce every word.
I love that frilly bridge to tempo change that leads in to a solo so much... 1:11 is brilliant
dude that snare mix sounds so sick
PING
Baisically the whole song.
Saw them last monday in Bristol. It was brilliant. It`s been 5 days but I still have my batteries full! It washed my frustration away!
Song is too slow. Only truly listenable at 2x speed.
At 2x speed has the same sound as a v1 rocket launched on london during ww2 😂
Ahahaha
While this is clearly a joke, I'm practicing this on guitar at 1.25x speed so normal seems more playable
*Infant Annihilator would like to know your location*
@@richiecordrey6892 just realized Infant Annihilator does approach those speeds lol (though not vocally, to give these guys credit)
Just saw them this past Sunday in Brooklyn NY. They are indeed every bit as nasty live as they are on record. Blown away.
Absolute destruction! Archspire are the undeniable gods of modern tech death!
Forest Shouts Back I'm so glad you're an Archspire fan haha. I've seen them live six times and they are just as amazing live. I swear Spencer breaks cymbals every show.

Been following these dudes for a while now...stay sick and refreshing a diamond in the rough for Technical Death Metal
If the whole album is like this then Archspire may have a masterpiece on their hands
I'm from the future to tell you, yes it is a masterpiece (but the one after it doesn't quite live up to it)
Quit talking to ur self
@@Jiggleslinky Bleed the Future is more heavy and technical, but less proggy and experimental like RM is.
that clean part at 2:27 man...
right into my ears ❤
awwww, another ballad, can't wait for a fast song
Listening to this is the best workout I've had all week.
The best song of the all time ....wtf...they are sooo pro and mental...such a clean sound...I love it
i cannot stop it my skin is alive may be the most unsettling lyric in archspire. and then shortly after its followed by the most beautiful instrumental break in a song. what the fuck
My head couldn't follow any of this! it's amazing! AGAIN!
My favorite Archspire lyric ever: "ECCCHH!"
Keepin my hope up in 2020 cant wait for concerts to be a thing again. Bucket list band to see.
-archspire: "the lucid collective lyrics wasn't enough fast, but we can fix in our next album" xD

This new album is going to be badass!
I'm glad discovered this band.
Saying anything about the bass, but not the drums or guitars, even the vocals, feels wrong, but I love the bass...
Dayum, how'd I miss these guys for all these years... been listening to too much Allegaeon and Psycroptic I guess. Great stuff!
There is no such thing as 'too much Allegaeon' or Psycroptic!
2014- 320 bpm spencer drum
2017- hey we finally sung the fucking lyrics and its time to relase the song
It's not just the speed of the vocals (and other instruments) that is impressive, but the ability to memorize all of it. So many lines in one song. Hell I probably couldn't memorize any of their songs on any instrument, even when it's something I'm better at, like drums.
Best band ever... also funny lyric video lol
So stoked for this.
I think the part from 1:10 till 2:00 is my absolute favorite in a Metal song ever.
I didn't know that even languages have a new game+ mode, goddamn
This is awesome. It really reminds me of Dethklok
ok ........ this is what tech death is all about ... memorables riffs , dexterity, insanity, majestual interpretation ..... 5 stars.
1:17 this is why its my favorite song
I love this band, seen them every time they came to OZ
God this band is fantastic
