Animals As Leaders - Inner Assassins (piano)

RIP to my left hand. And to all of my keyboards which could not handle the repeating notes in the main riff.
I have a bunch of alternate takes of this that I tried with other pianos that I will eventually upload.

[@jsabbott0]

Alternate take, which looks cool but was recorded on a far inferior piano, for those interested: th-cam.com/video/huNCc9-xI_M/w-d-xo.html

[@lok6662002]

My left hand feels tired just by watching this

[@franktodd3247]

One of my favorite songs by AAL. You make the 5 section flow really well (3:45). I totally wanted to jump on my drum set and join in.

[@chewbaccam5436]

This is the most incredible interpretation of any prog I have ever seen

[@karwashblark7499]

It's up there, for sure.
Makes me think "AAL meets GoGo Penguin"

[@Rejii16]

Criminal how this doesn’t have more views. Amazing cover!

[@mohamadfachrizal6440]

Matt, Tosin and Javier would be proud if they are seeing this

[@jlae111]

This is stunningly done. Your interpretations are so refreshing. Thank you.
PS: new Meshuggah coming... just sayin'...

[@zacknight7640]

Less than 5k views after 2 years? The level of talent on display here is remarkable

[@DaveRogersPiano]

Insane left-hand-right-hand independent control.

[@SequoiaSounds]

So happy to have a new upload from you!! 🐙 As impressive as always. Bowled over by your rhythmical precision, timekeeping, and stamina...

[@AaronWelchMusic]

You've turned it into boss music! 10/10, got carpal tunnel in my left hand watching this.

[@dspannplayspiano]

My favorite instrument playing my favorite prog metal band...what is better? Thanks for this!

[@shadowselfCA]

I am a keyboard player but have not played many pianos. I don't think I have ever played one that would be responsive enough for this. Fantastic playing, and a fantastic instrument.

[@drummusician]

Holy fuck, dat left hand🤘

[@mushymoist8813]

big fan of big man! 0~o!

[@jackholladay2001]

Woah that’s next level…your time is insanely good.

[@ccobuzzi450]

Another 10/10! One of my favorite Animals As Leaders songs too ❤

[@FoivosApostolou]

From a fellow pianist, this is AMAZING

Glad to watch new astonishing video from you, Sam! Keep going!

[@johnrinehart8866]

Amazing. I can only imagine the amount of time it took to learn how to do it and then actually learn how to play it all the way through.

[@Antukes]

Stunning !

[@andreasvandieaarde]

Nice to see you're uploading stuff again! I first saw your Converge covers a little bit ago and noticed you hadn't uploaded for almost a year, so I thought you'd stopped! I love your Piano arrangements of this stuff it's awesome - had a thought to transcribe some of it - particularly Fault and Fracture - and make Piano tutorials of em y'know with your permission and maybe help?

[@andresborjas7559]

Love it!

[@bobinchainz]

Beautiful !!!!!!!!

[@charliecreamer1533]

Someone show this to Charles Cornell

[@andreferreirasiqueira8424]

Incredible, incredibly powerful and beautiful... That's an achievement, congratulations.

[@facundozwenger9993]

amigoooo, sos una bestiaaaa!!! bellisima interpretacion

[@twinsanity4991]

man i really wish we had the transcriptions to this amazing piece of music

[@vaishnavplays203]

The ending brings tears to me everytime .. so lovely that you covered it beautifully......

[@thenecessitarian]

Damn , you should be doing original music with these kinds of skittles!

[@welitonmendanha7825]

Incrível! Saudações do Brasil, irmão!

[@Mr.InbetweenFX]

I absolutely freaking love this! My only complaint is that you can’t mute the notes in the same way that it’s originally muted. Otherwise this soooo dang fantastic and I love it.

[@bentapes8891]

sounds like something straight from a halo game

[@SynysterGates70]

Beauty 👌

[@Shorjok]

Your speed is incredible, really nice technique with the multiple fingers for one key for those really fast notes. There were a few chords that sounded off to me but that's about all I can criticise about such an amazing performance

[@onsesejoo2605]

Why am I thinking Emerson, Lake & Palmer here ?

[@beile796]

That’s crazy is there sheet music for this

[@andreasvandieaarde]

You're playing all this by memory too, holy shit - do you study music or anything?!

[@pimpsauce]

i came

[@דניאלשמש-ח9ג]

did you right it by any chance???
