I remember reading the comments on another video (a Sepultura song, I think) and metal stans began going on about "THE BASS IS ONLY TO ANCHOR THE SONG, NO MORE NO LESS," and one guy cracked wise about how "God forbid fretless bass should ever be played in metal." Forest would make their heads asplode. This is how metal stays fresh and exciting, by bringing in new ideas and concepts from everywhere. The stans can keep listening to the same old same old while I will seek new sounds and see if I like them or not.
Except fretless bass isn't new in metal music at all, just not utilized as much.
@@Crodon I agree, let's not forget Steve DiGiorgio who played fretless bass on a number of Death albums
Metalheads who don't like this (or at least appreciate it) are stuck in the past. I love Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, et. al., but I also really like Berried Alive and Igorrr; and this dude _tears it up._
First Fragment is like a band with 24 brains
trying to process all these notes! Amazing!
Insane. He plays bass like a flamenco player. And so clean. 😂 🫶
Big props to bands like Death, Cynic, Gorguts etc for paving the way, but this is so next level my great-grandchildren still won’t be able to comprehend how this happened 🤘
It's done, Dominic is the absolute best bass metal player in history period, some may say Steve Digiorgio, Cliff Burton, Jeroen Paul Thesseling, etc And I know music is not a competition but man Dom is above any other. I just hope someday meet him and thank him for inspiring me and so many other musicians. Go Forest go!
HIM AND EVAN BREWER BUT YES UNREAL!
Sean Malone
He is amazing. Killian Duarte is another
Dang, you mentioned Jeroen Paul Thesseling. He was in Pestilence. ( Check out Fami from LOVEBITES! )
Hugo who took is place in Beyond Creation is pretty damn amazing….awesome guy too
If First Fragment is so good why isn't there a Second Fragment???
you might want to rethink some of your life decisions that eventually lead you to make this joke
@@randomcultist398 Maybe...listening to Demilich so much makes me shit my head a bit
Is the second guy in a race better than the first? 🧐 Why do people keep making this joke? 😅
Guatafak me encontré un gay en los comentarios
@@Lucas.Uzabal yea if Demilich is so good, then why isn't there a second album!?!??!?
I've seen many bassist, but none of them are as perfectionists and virtuous as this guy. This level of composition is out of reach for the majority of us.
Witness evolution of human species at its finest
jus met him and talked in portland! pretty much told him this!
Absolutely stunning song. As someone who is listening to tech death 20 years already, this song is a stellar example of amazing balance between tech elements and musicianship. I know a lot of people praising In'el but this song is even more impressive on so many levels.
Unmatched skill. Underrated band.
Such technique. Elements of jazz and what seems to be classical guitar playing. I didn’t think tech death metal bass players were this good. I’m blown away!!!
It’s called tech death for a reason
He's easily in the top 3 best bassists in Metal.
Oh we have such sights to show you
Top 1.
@@vommir. who would you put in your top 3 bassists?
For me, I'd say Jared Smith from Archspire, Brendan Brown (ex-Ne Obliviscaris but their current bassist Martino Garattoni is also pretty fuckin good from what I've heard so far) and Forest!
Forest my dude, this shit is insane!! I will always sit in awe as I watch you play, if I ever get the chance to see you live, I'm bringing a chair so I can sit my ass down and pay full attention to a master at work.
Seriously. I'd rather sit down for an hour and watch him play than be in a mosh pit any day.
This is some of the best bass I've ever heard in my life, period.
Astonishing playing
❤
The most insane bassist I've ever seen. Thanks for the reminder.
The best Tech/Prog Death Metal bass player of all time. Everything he touches become gold. It happened with early Beyond Creation & Augury albums and now with First Fragment incredible sophomore album.
Terrific.
FOREST IS A MANIAC ARE U KIDDING ME
Watching this again and again... amazing!
One of the best to ever do it on bass. Period. Flawless technique, endless flavour, creativity beyond imagination, forever inspirational. Can't express enough how good Forest is!
Creativity Beyond imagination? Nay, I call it... "Beyond Creativity"
相変わらず気持ちがイイ音～。
独特のピッキングフォームだから唯一無二のプレイ。
This is amazing! This is insane!
This is absolutely amazing.
that was absolutely stellar to watch. wow
Wow.. absolutely mind blowing!.
I don't understand anything you're doing , but you're doing it very good !
Great work as usual! Go Forest.
so precise! insane! absolute god
Impressive as always. I wouldn’t expect anything less from you.
it is fantastic to see the band again.
Truly inspirational playing.
Enchanting Forest 🌳
I like all the notes he played.
The precision is unmatched! Amazing stuff Dom.
I'm always completely blown away by these playthrough videos! Just beautiful playing. Haven't spun the LP in awhile! Definitely overdue for a listen!
I've been playing bass 31 years, mostly metal, and you still never fail to blow my mind. Fucking amazing!
Could listen to this for hours, absolute master at his craft!
Absolute monster, fantastic stuff
i can watch you playing for hours! Amazing work!
MAGNIFICENT!
Beautiful and brutal.
Loved his work in Augury and he's still killing it.
I know the execution of this song is beyond amazing. But what I find even more interesting is the idea on how you are able to compose something like that, my god. Inspirational is a small word for this.
la classe internationale!
Bravo Dominic !!!
got you with youtube recommendations, this is great !!
Absolutely amazing song and video. THICC bass sound.
Also, worth to note, cameraman isn't shaking in seizures and perspective doesn't change 3 times per second, which is always good.
LEGEND!!🔥🔥🔥
holy crap balls this is epic
brilliant, as always, and i havent even seen the video yet
I'm not sure if I should feel inspired to become better, or simply quit playing, because this was spotless. The intonation, timing, fingering, slapping, tapping, everything is just perfectly executed, and yet with so much feeling.
What a wild ride
bass sounds amazing
il ne me reste pas assez d'années de vie pour atteindre ce niveau technique et de recherche mélodique
Awesome spot light on Forest!
God is love, hugs and love sent from cali, praying for all!
Spectacular as always.
Literally every note this man plays is gold.
I like how in almost every video (or actually every video?) of Forest doing a playthrough he plays with a long sleeve shirt of some sort. A fellow long sleeve enjoyer :D
Also that beard is coming in nicely! I wonder how long he's going to grow it haha :D
Absolutely face-melting! Cheers!
(I could probably do that if I had five fingers.)
I really wana say thanks for so much influence forest 🔥🔥🔥
C'est la toune que je mets en début de mon cardio, à la fin de mes entrainements.
Depuis cette chanson et la fin de l'album, il ne reste qu'une trentaine de minutes.
C'est le temps, (et le rhythme), parfait pour faire de la course.
J'entends cette chanson (entre autres) chaque fois que le battement de mon coeur s'éleve,
The master of intonation and technique 🤘
Malade comme toujours Forrest!!!! Continue ton travail excellent!!!
The absolute grandmaster of bass. We need tab books!
Wow its amazing
Its totally magic to see how he is using his instrument not only to support the rhythmics but also to layer on harmonics, while filling the soundscape and having a total decent sound. Damn good invested 5 minutes :)
Spotify smart shuffle introduced me to this band and instantly I was captivated by that BASS! had to see more! Shout-out to smart shuffle!
Your music is nothing but phenominal. Keep it up guys \m/
Amazing! i would love to see this man play one day; Forest, you are a huge inspiration! That B string hit hard my ears bro!!
Trop malade ta vraiment beaucoup d’influence musical c’est beau a voir et a entendre
You are the man Forest!
Tu repousse encore les limites mon ami ! 🤘 c'est mental.
Glorieux.
one of the greatest bass player in tech
Incredible as always. This guy isn't my favorite bass player (Mike Watt), but he's who tech-death players wish they were. Or at least other tech players ASPIRE to reach this level. Always a pleasure, Forest. Thanks!
Wouuhaa chaud patate!! Et jouer ça à chaque concert?! Quelle performance, respect!
Great,Forest rulzzzz,Hail from 🇱🇻Latvia
Amazing
Magnificent
Gran composición....el bajo sabe!
This is my new favorite band by a landslide.
this man is pretty much a bass virtuoso
What a legend.
1:22 the harmonic slide 😛
HOW DO PEOPLE DO THAT!? No matter what I do I can never get it that clean
@@cosmicpanda7043 I'm guessing you are a fretless? If not, the frets will mute the harmonic when you do the slide. Keeping the fretting finger straight/perpendicular to the string also helps. You could also try to remember the exact locations of the harmonic depending on the fret number, but that is a bunch of work
@@nachfullbarertrank5230 Is it a fretless only technique then? I swear I've seen Wooten do it on his fretted Fodera, but if that is the case then I'll have to move a fretless bass higher up on my shopping list
awesome
Wild stuff.
Bonkers....I as a bass player, will now have to go back to Ole Smokey....thanks Forest 🥸
Legend
Forest is the man!!!! 🤍
Miss ya buddy! Matt from Woe of Tyrants here 🤙
Why dom is num 1 ? CREATIVITY
I had the pleasure of playing a show with Beyond Creation when he was in the band and my god it was mind boggling watching him play this live and a super nice guy as well.
No words 🙏
1:24 maaaan that harmonic is insane !
The only one!
Grande Forest!
Fretless bass does go very well with metal such as this!
Criss de machine !!
mastery full bass
Damn this is impressive
Yes!
Merci !!!
funky!
Fortiche! Et enfin un qui a compris qu'une gratte ou basse ça se positionne entre les jambes!
i like the sound of the music that i hear
Incredible. Please make a video where you explain you plucking hand technique that would be so awesome.
