- Here's "Withered and Obsolete" from Ulcerate's Everything Is Fire. This song baffled me for years so I finally decided to take a stab at it. Even after learning this, I still don't understand how anyone can come up with riffs like this...cheers to Ulcerate for raising the bar miles above the standard.
New album, Vermis, is coming out September 17th! Brace yourselves for the next sonic apocalypse!

3:48 - THE most apocalyptic riff of all time. FUUUUUAAAAAACKKKKKKKKKKKK
Was blasting this song in my car last night. There is no riff that is more apocalyptic.
Oleg Zalman maybe caecus first riff....i love you man when more will be more covers?
Seriously... it makes me go borderline deranged. Sooo fucking GOOD!
Oleg Zalman 2 month end, I am here with a reminder. pls one more cover
When they fuck up during rehearsals, how do they get back into it? "Start at that diminished thing you were doing again!" "The one with the blastbeat under it?" "Yeah that one!". Inhuman.
this.is.amazing. dude, my mind is fucking blown by those riffs. No wonder you were baffled, who the hell plays like this?! Like, can you imagine walking into a room with someone to jam and they start playing this shit? like wtf would you do? Ask what mode they are playing in?? god DAMN it Bobby!
4:12 is just too goddamn good.
Ulcerate is a superbly high level of guitar difficulty and I am a 100% sure the same goes for their drumming.
Chasm of fire and the imperious weak are absolute mind blowing complex ideas between the guitars and the drums!!
Sooo much riff winage in this one. Sick job.
Wow... Seeing how complex this is makes me like this band even more. Thanks for posting this :)
Yeah, it's in Drop B. Ulcerate's the kind of band that utilizes a drop tuning for it's full range advantages, so good luck with it in standard haha! Almost every riff in this song plays off a min6 chord shape, usually with added voicings above the min6 chord, which would create Holdsworth-like chord shapes in standard. If you could do it, more power to ya!
Hello. Awesome cover. What kind of guitar is that? It's beautiful.
@@qasperr994 Thanks! It's a Carvin DC727, built to my own specs.
never ceases to amaze... ulcerate riffs got me
Ulcerate is already on the highest podium already, but once I actually see how difficult this looks to play I put their level as God mode!
Great cover, still coming back to it, you really appreciate more the insane outer worldly riffs and arrangement of this song when you watch it being played at the same time as listening to it! Would love to see some more Deathspell omega covers from you as well as I see DSO and Ulcerate as pioneering and bar raisers in both their respective genres!
You know, as a lefty guitarist, I've had to deal with that for 10 years haha. Pro tip: imagine you're looking into a mirror, and everything becomes less awkward :)
When I was taking lessons from Dominic LaPointe that's exactly how he put things at ease for me 😊
Brother, you are absolutely killing it on this tune! Shapeshifting gloriously.
@@stevesullivan8405 I've grown so accustomed to watching righties play guitar, that when I see another lefty, I have to rethink everything haha
Thank you kind sir, I had a blast with this one.
Holy fuck, maaaaaad props. This is one of my favorites off the album. Crazy to see how it's played.
Great playing man, you're on another level!!!
insane playing dude so tight
Go for it, that's what the tab is there for :)
Happy shredding.
I'm super late to the party but this is excellent, your tone is SUPERB. I'm on an ulcerate binge after hearing their new track, I URGE EVERYONE READING THIS TO CHECK IT OUT.
Cheers
I wish i could go back in time and discorver them again!!!!....lucky bastard now run and listen the whole discography !!!
holy shit dude, flawless cover
thanks for doing my favourite of the album, very good playing.
all the fucking masterpiece is memorable my favorite i've choose caecus but drown within is unreal so all the album ...
This would definitely be my favourite band if they had more riffs you can actually headbang on.
Here, everything is so amazingly complex and mindboggling, it takes patient days of cautious and thorough listening until you finally grab a tiny bit of what it is. Both the guitar and bass layers, the dissonance, and St Merat's prodigious pummeling bring this little je ne sais quoi that makes Ulcerate a special entity, one that deserves its audience and all the praises left in its wake.
Un énorme respect.
The first ~50 listens of this album went right over my head, but I knew there was something special, so I kept coming back. I'm glad I persisted because EiF is an unparalleled masterpiece. When I asked Michael Hoggard how he wrote such riffs, he said he's not so sure himself haha
@@noobsauce well, thanks for your answer, i was reaching my 49th listen, i'm almost there!
Please do Confronting Entropy
Amazing work! I can't even begin to fathom how much time must have gone into transcribing this beast! Thanks!
Thank you! I don't remember exactly how long it took to transcribe...no more than a few days.
This song is so fucking hard to learn! Let alone figure it out and tab it. Great Job
the most amazing riffing this band ever has !!!!
3:32 that fucking riff I mean what the fuck how do even go about writing that
Beautifully done!
Very impressive cover!
hi Oleg! i really love your work is so sick man, god damn your a very good musician and the music do you play is my favorite! please make a cover of xenoverse discharger from wormed! or Megaliths of Despair of disentomb and sorry for my bad English hahaha greetings from Mexico
Awesome cover!! sick riffs
Nice playing. Even as a left handed guitarist, it still looks trippy to watch another left handed player :)
That was sick.Your playing was spot on.
Cheers!
Bro! Great job!
I finally got around to learning some of this and I can do the first minute and a half kinda sloppily, I'm probably going to have to watch what you do with your fingers to see if it helps me at all.
Regardless watching this again is hardly a bad thing due to just how amazing of a cover this is.
thanks man! i think the riff at 3:47 is probably the hardest riff in the song, super finger twister
Oleg Zalman Looking at it makes me imagine my hand being mangled horribly so I can barely imagine actually playing it.
+Thank Ydu GARGD I just love how completely unintuitive it looks like even with 10 years of guitar experience
I tried to learn it as well but I never would have thought it would look this fluid and now it makes sense, gonna try it myself
Brooklyn, NY
Holy shit dude! They write such awesome riffs! Good Job :o
Unreal!!! How about "Gorguts - nostalgia"?
Please cover Vermis or The Imperious Weak from the new album.
insane job man, very good playing. saw them three times already and each time I asked myself what the fuck they are playing :D not of this planet, just awesome
I've been watching several of your videos and I'm really glad of your song choices. Getting that "old school" youtube vibe with played for real guitar and synced video/audio feels great. I was missing that. Nerdy detail : a love it better when you shoot from an angle headstock to bridge, so that we can better see your right hand approach.
Thanks man! Regarding the camera angle, do you mean when my left hand is closer to the camera?
A camera angle like the one in your "Martyr - Nameless, Faceless, Neverborn" with fretting hand towards camera (the more interesting part being facing the picking hand knuckles instead of the elbow).
And yeah, you being a left-handed, please apologize my usage of "right hand/left hand" which was very misleading...
All good! I'll keep that in mind for the next video :)
Incredible as always. And thanks for tab!
Good job! I'm learning this at the moment, it is so hard to memorise all the sections!
Thanks man! Yeah, this song is jam packed with so many killer riffs. Once you get to the 4:27 mark, that's where your brain starts to glitch in the memory department haha
Excellent!
brilliantos.
Nice cover as always.
great work bro. truly impressed. I saw Ulcerate in Rochester, when they toured with Tombs, they played a small venue and I was 2 feet from the band basically. couldn't take my eyes away from the guitars. What blew my mind is that their pedals were minimal. What are you playing with as far as effects, and what is your guitar tuned to? low C# drop?
thanks man! this song is in drop B, so C# standard with the 6th string a whole step down.
as far as gear goes for these videos, I just use free plugins for tone. Live, my setup is pretty minimal. 6505+ head into an Avatar cab, maxon 808 od, and an ISP Decimator II for the noise gate. I've also been messing around with this really cool pedal called the Instant Lofi Junky. It's a compressor, chorus and modulation pedal all in one. Love using it for spooky clean sounds similar to the clean guitars in Meshuggah. and distorted, it can create an interesting atmosphere as well. You'll be able to hear that thing in action on the next Artificial Brain album.
yeah is incredible that michael is able to write like this and think to memorize all his parts especially on their newest records is Inhuman fuck.....and cant wait for new artificial brain!!!!!
Left-handed?! 6 strings on a 7 string guitar?! Who do you think you are?! XD Great cover mate
Great job man! Maybe I'll try and give it a shot as well...
you’re a god. i’m so hilariously mad
This shit got me crying
Muy buen cover!!!!
dude
postal
hey oleg how do you make it so clean? is it more about the pickups or your tone setup, or even post-production? and cheers for your awesome playing and for letting us discover new awesome acts
It's definitely a combination of all of those variables. I posted a picture of my tone settings in Reaper, it's in the description box under the video.
Also, I never use extremely high gain, those pickups are pretty damn tight, and I believe that a significant amount of your tone lies in your fingers. I played guitar for about 9 years before I started to focus on tone/gear, in order to force myself to make riffs sound good with a shitty rig. and thank you for the kind words!
thanks for your reply!
Amzing cover dude! Seriously the best :D
What are the specs on that guitar?I'm thinking of getting a Custom Carvin DC7 as well.
Thank you very much! Check your youtube inbox. I can't even find mine anymore without navigating through my email, so if you're having difficulties, I'll share the guitar specs here as well.
Man, I was thinking of trying to learn this song. Watching this cover is making me rethink my decision... like, to ever start playing guitar! Probably a stupid question, but this is as difficult as it looks, right?
Yes, maybe even more difficult than it looks. But don't ever give up.
@@noobsauce Thanks for the advice. I'm just a "for-fun" bedroom player, so I tend to call it quits on stuff that becomes frustrating. Ulcerate and this song is just so good though...
@@jonathanhenderson9422 Well, if you stick with it, I guarantee the satisfaction of nailing even just one difficult section of this song will be super rewarding, in the short and long term. We all start as bedroom players, and if I wasn't having any fun, I would've stopped playing guitar a long time ago. Keep at it, you'll surprise yourself.
If you get time, do check out tracks The maze, Fear and trepidation, In the healing garden. You might end up liking them, maybe even covering them someday ;) Cheers
Красавчик.
Spot on! How does that Carvin play for you? I've been looking into one myself, as my agile is being a bitch and It's damn hard to find a good Lefty 7.
It plays great! It took some getting used to because it's a completely different guitar spec-wise compared to my Schecter, but I'm very happy with it. The best thing about ordering from Carvin is that you can tailor every specification to your needs.
Please tab and cover some Vinnie moore.
3:33
thinking of doing any more ulcerate?
Might do one from Vermis, either title track or Confronting Entropy.
How do you get this tone?! I can't figure it out! Lots of presence and highs and medium amount of gain? I just don't know!
Low gain and lots of mids. Check out my screenshot of my settings in Reaper in the description. The only way for me to clean up the tone using these free plugins is to throw heavy high pass and low pass filters on the EQ.
I have yet to get deep into home recording, so hopefully it'll only get better from here!
3:47 okay what the actual fuck
7 string lost?
but why did you remove the 7th string?
***** It either snapped off prior to playing this, or I just strung a 6 string set on the guitar since I was learning a bunch of six string songs at the time. I honestly don't remember, it's been almost two years haha
Tuning: B F# B E G# C# ????
Yep
Do you not have a seventh string?
Not in this video. I don't remember why...probably snapped and I didn't bother replacing it.
For fuck's sake, dude, you're making this look way too easy. Those are some of the nastiest riffs I've ever tried to play.
There was definitely a lot of internal sweating goin on here
Все дело в невидимой струне.
tunning?
Federico Javier Irazabal
6 string Drop B
*cuts off his useless hands*
