Beautiful, Mr. Tigran! The middle-eastern touch was exquisite! I always look forward to how you make the rhythm novel every time! 🙂 You never disappoint! 🙂Is this Jazz Metal? 🙂 Thank you very much for the wonderful piece!
I just saw you at the Jazz à la Défense Festival with my girlfriend and it was so great. Looking forward to meet you again in France soon. And maybe this time we won't have a rude drunk lady right in front of the stage 😅
Is Anyone weirdly addicted? Is anyone else being mysteriously pulled into the whistle again and again? And being pounded by the insane riffs and bassline? ❤
YOU've done it again! "The Curse" is an absolute masterpiece. The fusion of armenian folk, progressive rock, metal, and jazz is breathtaking, and the collaboration with Matt Garstka brings a whole new level of energy.
Beautiful and hard hitting! The synergy with genius Nate Wood on drums is as electric as always. Your compositions have reached a very impressive level of balance between raw playfulness and a sincere maturity. Inspiring stuff.
I spent an hour driving with this on repeat today, and I can't even imagine how deranged I look to the uninitiated -- blasting this HEAVY genre-defying headbanger, while literally wiping away tears every time I notice another BEAUTIFUL rhythmic intricacy, not to mention Tigran's goosebump-inducing harmonic territory.
Can anyone enlighten me on the meaning of the albums' title (and the theme behind the compositions) : "The Curse/ blood of the innocent is spilled" Is it a reference to the Armenian genocide? Your input is welcome
The heaviness as well as everything that's happening in the world, armenia, the congo, palestine and ukraine, as well as other places of conflict, together with the title, this song just hits so hard for me
I love that all tracks so far are tied together. There are not many artists making such amazingly crafted concept albums out there ❤ can't wait to listen to the whole thing in one go
@@valuablesandwich I first heard Tigran as bump music on my local NPR station. I actually tweeted the station to find out who just blew my mind away and it was Tigran.
I knew jazz was like metal whitout distortion... but this is on a whole 'nother level, this is djent whitout distortion Edit i just discovered that Matt Garstka is on the drums, it makes a lot more sense now
@@anthonyperez-xd9fgyeah i noticed, but let's say that compared to djient this is almost clean, and the principal part is the piano wich i think is clean, but correct me if i'm wrong
@@hanysz_ oh ok, i'm a bit confused because i saw a lot of people saying this was matt garstka and a lot of people saying this was nate, but still i don't know who is in the right
0:00 3/4 subdivided in quintuplets. Can be also described as 15/16. 1:47 Metric modulation where a quarter quintuplet of the old tempo becomes a normal quarter note of the new tempo. 1:51 4/4 (x3) + 3/4 bar over which a 5:6 polyrhythm is played. Can also describe this section as a measure of 15, but 15/4 this time. 2:18 Back to 3/4 in quintuplets. 4:13 More 4/4 (x3) + 3/4. Or 15/4 if you want. Both different ways of saying same thing. 4:38 Dotted quarter notes from the last 3/4 bar in previous riff become the new beat of a 5/4 divided into triplets. Can also call this a measure of 15, but 15/8 this time. 5:05 Back to 3/4 in quintuplets. 6:01 4/4 (x3) + 3/4 again.
I like to think of the 4/4 part having 1 bar of 6/8 at the end instead. Then 2 x 5:3 polyrhythms over the beat divisions of 123 and 456. It's a little cleaner in the bar that way.
Me: Awesome! Tigran dropped a new song! Tigran: [proceeds to put a metal riff in that goes harder than most metal artists] Me: [shocked Pikachu face] Tigran: [proceeds to do it several more times] Me: Alright that's going on repeat lol
Ahh, those angelical whistles and the damn riff has been coming to my mind every day since I first listened to this song. We all have been beautifully cursed with this song I think. Can't describe how excited I am to hear the rest of the album. 🔥 Hoping to see you again in Argentina!! Lots of love 🎵
That is perfect because I ever wanted to listen to Kars I & II live in Yerevan but didn't have 20 minutes on my hands, this would be an amazing backup !
What a wonderful tune. Love the repeating stops with different piano fills. This is a great rhythmic exercise for ones brain. Makes me smile still and I've probably listened to it 30 times
Love the (wolf) tones on the low hammering piano during the breakdowns. Not sure if that's the right word for it but it's almost like you get the actual tone of the note and an interval that rides above the tone. Just perfect. Piano sounds amazing. Excellent mix and master
I am so happy to share with you my new album "The Bird Of A Thousand Voices: tigranhamasyan.bfan.link/thebirdofathousandvoices

powerful. so many emotions
virtues and vibes!! love you tigran thanks for giving me 11 years of great listening and inspiration!
Thank you Tigran!! I love the feelings that your music brings me 🙏
New masterpiece! sure we enjoy, thanks and bravo!!!
This one hurt my neck.
FR FR. It hurts so good.
Absolutely jaw dropping. Might be my new favorite track by him. Tigran just never misses man. Can't wait for the album!
Душераздирающе… слезы сами собой текут 😢
Powerful!
I am so addicted to that small polytonal "out of tune" section from minute 3:00
I just saw you at the Jazz à la Défense Festival with my girlfriend and it was so great. Looking forward to meet you again in France soon. And maybe this time we won't have a rude drunk lady right in front of the stage 😅
Ապրես
- You can't play metal on piano. - Hold my beer
Never dissapoing! This song sounds like "Shadow Theater" and "Mockroot" had a baby :) I can't wait for the full album! Thank you, mr Tigran
Is Anyone weirdly addicted? Is anyone else being mysteriously pulled into the whistle again and again? And being pounded by the insane riffs and bassline? ❤
Absolutely :-)
I haven't listened to anything else since it was released
Tigran has always had this effect on me, and yes his whistling is both enchanting and badass! 💯💥 The man never fails to blow my mind
Addicted indeed: I just finished a full transcription of this song (on my channel).
watch?v=DOqgAx1pFIc
Sharing in case some of you are interested :)
This is near infectious, tu.
Kars 3!
100%
With some Erishta on top
Bro is slick with implied call backs
Omg if the new tigran album sounds like this...
We're in for a heavy metal apocalypse
I want an Animals As Leaders ft Tigran set so damn bad
Would be amazing in deed !
That song exists! Listen to Vortex by Tigran
@@tahmidt Yeah I guess he was speaking of a full line up from AAL with Tigran.
YOU've done it again! "The Curse" is an absolute masterpiece. The fusion of armenian folk, progressive rock, metal, and jazz is breathtaking, and the collaboration with Matt Garstka brings a whole new level of energy.
It's Nate Wood on the drums I believe
Crazy one!
This is one of my favorites of yours now Tigran thanks!
Tigran Hamasyan and Matt Garstka are a win-win combo 😤😤🤘🎸
matt gartska? what? (oh just read the description. its nate wood on the record. just for the record)
A match made in heaven
both GREAT drummers
Oooh that shit at 3:02 is rad as fuck
Absolutely
Это нереально круто!! Лучшее, что слышала за последние несколько лет!
Jesus CHRIST ALLMIGHTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christ is King
Easily one of my favourite Tigran pieces. Returns to the old Tigran but still sounds and feels fresh.
Animals As Tigran
Tigran as leaders
Armenians as Leaders
Tigran always manages to surprise me with his creativity, what a great mind.
YES!!!! FINALLY. THE GOAT TIGRAN AND THE GOAT MATT GARSTKA!!! What a beautiful moment to be alive
Wait but in the description it says that Nate Wood plays drums
@@thecolouroutofspacee in the premiere on Amsterdam, Matt Garstka played with Tigran, so that's why I'm hyped
Beautiful and hard hitting! The synergy with genius Nate Wood on drums is as electric as always. Your compositions have reached a very impressive level of balance between raw playfulness and a sincere maturity. Inspiring stuff.
that is heavy

Tigran as Leader
I comment this shit 8 years later on "entertain me" hahah
Can anyone enlighten me on the meaning of the albums' title (and the theme behind the compositions) :
"The Curse/ blood of the innocent is spilled"
Is it a reference to the Armenian genocide?
Your input is welcome
so glad Nahre Sol sent me here. This is some awesome music
The heaviness as well as everything that's happening in the world, armenia, the congo, palestine and ukraine, as well as other places of conflict, together with the title, this song just hits so hard for me

The bass sounds like something from Tool
Yet another mind-blowing random TH-cam discovery!
I cannot imagine stumbling upon this randomly, what that must be like
@@valuablesandwich I first heard Tigran as bump music on my local NPR station. I actually tweeted the station to find out who just blew my mind away and it was Tigran.
@@valuablesandwich It was revelation!
I knew jazz was like metal whitout distortion... but this is on a whole 'nother level, this is djent whitout distortion
Edit i just discovered that Matt Garstka is on the drums, it makes a lot more sense now
But there IS distortion!!
@@anthonyperez-xd9fgyeah i noticed, but let's say that compared to djient this is almost clean, and the principal part is the piano wich i think is clean, but correct me if i'm wrong
@@SE-et5nt That makes sense when you out it that way
apparently it's Nate Wood on the drums here. Matt is playing live with Tigran which is sick too. Let's give Nate some love!
@@hanysz_ oh ok, i'm a bit confused because i saw a lot of people saying this was matt garstka and a lot of people saying this was nate, but still i don't know who is in the right
Final instalment of Kars... or is it?
Great! Awesome composition, also the sound engineer did a great job.
And there was much rejoicing
1:48 yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Épico y genuino like always❤
Շնորհակալություն Տիգրան...
I love how gentle it started then how it dropped at the middle
the concept art design also fire!
YES

AMAZING! ... As usual from Tigran 😌
I will mosh at the jazz show, I don't care
Masterpiece, pushing music boundaries 👑

Modern masters at work. Such a magnetic piece.
Muchas gracias Tigran.
Saludos desde ciudad de Canelones, Uruguay.
What a sick piece 🔥🤘
did i just witness Thall Fusion
Ahh, those angelical whistles and the damn riff has been coming to my mind every day since I first listened to this song. We all have been beautifully cursed with this song I think.

chabon ese concierto fue impresionante
Աննման❤❤❤
Such a Kars vibes
Always love your rhythmic-bonanza outros that just...stop in the middle of the tracks lol
Gonna learn this one too probably, pretty interesting
Аааааа Progressive/Djent/Piano core \m/ \m/ Very nice, Thanks Tigran!
Его музыка как будто состоит из самоповторения, но боже, как мне это нравится!
как красиво.
this song feels strangely related to " Kars 1". there's got to be some relation. somebody tell me I'm not the only one that hears the resemblance.
Հրաշափառ !
Made my toes curl
The last bit at 6:28 is just so freaking groovy omg. Biggest stanked face the first time I listened to the song.
So nasty
I don't know what this video game is, but I need to play it
Cheguei aqui graças ao chat gpt. Obrigada IA! haha
That is perfect because I ever wanted to listen to Kars I & II live in Yerevan but didn't have 20 minutes on my hands, this would be an amazing backup !
Is this with Garstka or is the description just mentioning him for the recent live performance?
This is with Nate Wood. Garstka was (will be?) on some liver performances.
@@FollowingNamePolicy thank you, some comments here made me uncertain.
Muy 'Tigran'
Супер композиция💪🔥🤟

Amazing Collab matt fit this song perfectly
My brain is simply delighted, feels like deep neuronal massage.
What a wonderful tune. Love the repeating stops with different piano fills. This is a great rhythmic exercise for ones brain. Makes me smile still and I've probably listened to it 30 times
