Archspire just needs a better vocalist. I know this isn't popular opinion but their vocalist has held the master musicians back so damn much. Imagine if they had vocals like spawn of possessions or better yet, old school psychroptic.
@@TerminalM193 r u serious? But Oli better that Dennis, and only one vocalist who had better vocal than Oli was Martin Pedersen from Visceral Bleeding.
5:15 this is the single coolest transition in any song I've ever heard. I listen to this song every now and then and remember that I suck at bass... but want to get better lmao. Forest is who I wanna be when I grow up as a bassist
Thanks for spreading the word! Also, for those who haven't seen it, the video for our first single was uploaded a while back on our label's channel instead of this one. th-cam.com/video/4mU_qLoa3Ds/w-d-xo.html. Enjoy the swing grooves!
Fucking hilarious I have the same Unleash The Archers Matriarch t shirt yo I'm dying laughing yo lol! You guys are ultimate level badass yo !🤘😎🤘🖤🌷😂🎼🎸🥁🎧📣🇨🇦
@@FirstFragmentQC I've seen them live before that's how I've got 3 Unleash The Archers t shirts plus other miscellaneous stuff! Wow he's in other band's too wow!I also have your The Afterthought Ecstasy ep album and Dasein album on bandcamp too and going to buy your new one soon at the beginning of next month yo! Also seen you guys live in Ottawa at Tech Trek Fest yo and it's still holds the candle as the best live metal show ever yo you guys are godly yo!🤘😎🤘🖤🌷🇨🇦🎼🎸🥁🎧📣
I've watched and listened to this a million times, but this is the first time that I noticed the little harmonic note snuck in at the end of Forest's solo (3:29) and it's little details like this that show how amazing of song writers the fellas at First Fragment are. It's not just technical wankery for the sake of it, it's very well written, very musical technical wankery. I love it, this album is so good.
@@nokturnalreign9887I'll be the first in line to defend Necrophagist's place as the godfathers of techdeath. But First Fragment and Archspire are truly in a tier completely of their own. Like it isn't even really close.
This song cracks me up. My brain cannot compute how incredibly technical and fun this is that it defaults to laughter. Thank you for making such awesome toons, they bring me much joy and pleasure 🤘🏻
These bouncy swing riffs you guys have been writing like at 2:50 are so fucking cool, feel like I've not really heard anything like that in this kind of music before. Wicked stuff!
OMFSay10! This is so frickin awesome amd fresh sounding! Love the Watch Tower shirt! So good to hear a Spawning of a Possessed Martyr written in Spastic Inc...
Dammit guys this is omafkingawd delicious! Just couldn't stay awake for the drop those 5½-6 hours ago. Woke up now and realised why I should've stayed awake. On the third watch right now and have paused to write this. It feels like EVERYONE (including invisible Nick) is unleashing their superpowers sequentially. My soul leaps with joy!! When those afterburners kick in at 5:12 holy hell that catchy groove hook to finish....just leaves me wanting MORE of the song!! Guys, please consider putting out an instrumental version of the album as well y'all. Pleeeease 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Salut from India. 🍻🍻🍻
Every single solo is amazing especially that last one before the final bass solo comes in. Those tapped harmonics (if I remember right, that's what they're called) at the end are an amazing touch
I could listen to the into riff on the first track forever I think (then I realized they put the song at the end too). Now I’m just sitting here listening to that over and over. That riff is killer.
You guys make me sick lol.. I can't get enough.. I remember a time many years ago when i had heard several bands that made me feel alive again.. This is another one of those bands that makes me feel all funny inside.. haha! love it!
Forest's bass line in the beginning is the funkiest tech death ever.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks calling it “funky” is the only way to go.
I'm not one for overstatements, generalizations, nor "the most" statements - ........
...but you might just be right about that

@@eldiyar4519 Oli does inhales.... Fucking inhales... Acts like a cringe rapper, I could go on and on but alas, music is subjective.
@@TerminalM193 indeed not a very popular opinion lol
@@TerminalM193 bruh archspires lyricisy matches their timings, hard to do. As much as I love ff don't compare them for music's sake

That harmonic at the end of Forest's (first) solo. Band stops on a dime. PING. Just, awesome.
Yessss
Bassist brought his own Icebell ❤
Happiest death metal I've ever listened to
I would almost say this is Power Metal with blast beats
@@bstrange666nice one however Happiest DM award goes to Lykathea Aflame
@@bstrange666no corny vocals either
That whammy bar deserves a glass of wine and a cigarette after all that
The snare needs one too hahaha
The base needs a whammy too...although, he doesn't act like he "needs" it, it would still be cool and well used (I'm sure).

@@FirstFragmentQC Can't wait for the new album guys, you and Archspire are my most anticipated albums including The Zenith Passage..
L'attente en valait vraiment la peine! Ça se voit et ça s'entend que vous aimez le travail bien fait \m/
I feel so many emotions with this band, that it's impossible not to shed tears when listening to it.
This shit's so good, it's enough to make a grown man cry... calisse!!
I love fretless bass solos so much!! Awesome as always
Hi Sebastiside, I love your cover of tetrastructual minds by vektor
4:11 callback from the opening classical guitar riff. Top tier riff. I love this!
Love that part!!! Love it when acoustic intros are integrated into the rest of the song, and the rest of that solo part is just ethereal :D
@@nachfullbarertrank5230it’s glorious ❤ holy fuck

I KNEW I recognized that bass style. Beyond Creation's The Aura
Since SoP retired, First Fragment have taken the baton as my favorite techdeath band pretty well. Such a lovely tune!
Same.
Same, they became the Apex Predator of Tech Death now
@@8man943 indeed as well as archspire. But SoP were the greatest
@Sir Paul, Spawn of Possession, friend.
@Sir Paul spawn of possession
This is the right thing to show to a person who thinks DragonForce is pinnacle intensity
Or any Necrophagist song lol

@@jakel7213 I would hope so considering Necrophagist has been defunct since the mid 00's.
Imagine the genre just stood still for 20 years.
@@jakel7213I'd like to throw Allegaeon in this mix as well. Their 2014 album Elements of the Infinite is god tier tech death.
Absolute perfection. Can't wait for the entire album.
saaaaame
When the hell is it coming out?!?
@@TerminalM193 Like 10 months ago lmao. October 31, 2021.
Маэстро просто! Низкий поклон за творчество и музыку! Привет из России!!!
It's playthroughs like these that inspire me to become a better musician everyday! 🙌
This song cracks me up. My brain cannot compute how incredibly technical and fun this is that it defaults to laughter. Thank you for making such awesome toons, they bring me much joy and pleasure 🤘🏻
WOW. That was SERIOUSLY impressive. A technical masterwork, for sure.
I had the pleasure to talk to forest for a school project. incredibly nice guy!
Ive watched this countless times and I still get the chills
Love that the guitarist is wearing an "unleash the archers" t shirt 🤘
These bouncy swing riffs you guys have been writing like at 2:50 are so fucking cool, feel like I've not really heard anything like that in this kind of music before. Wicked stuff!
I must have watched this 200 times! Love it! Make music forever please, thanks.
Forest solo on this one is amazing already been listening to it in loop. So glad to see it played for real so early, thx for that video
They played all of my favorite notes in the right sequence.
You just doesn't avoid dancing with this. This is Amazing.
OMFSay10! This is so frickin awesome amd fresh sounding! Love the Watch Tower shirt! So good to hear a Spawning of a Possessed Martyr written in Spastic Inc...
That harmonic flick on the bass at end of solo
Dude 1:46 so sick 👏🤘
This track is FUN!
This song is so much fun, I was smiling through the whole thing.
Such skillfull execution. You guys have a real flair for performance. Hope to see you guys play this one live. Sounding real good.
I clicked immediately! I love these playthroughs
the bass is insane, incredible
Hands down, Gloire Éternelle is indeed one of the best sounding metal albums this year. Amazing sound, amazing song, amazing album!

Whole song is amazing but 4:10 onwards , it's just brilliant
