serious amounts of practise and dedication! If you appreciate this sort of ability, check out Between the Buried and Me. They are incredible live and their performances are on point just like these... Quite different in style but have plenty of technical death metal in their sound and influences.
Agreed. Its crazy. I was just thinking about the bassist actually holds the whole sound scape together because if they just had a whatever bassist that was just there to support guitars archspire wouldnt be nearly as good without jared. I like how they were very inspired by the classical sound on this album too because the bassist really seems like a player from that era. Just nails it so well.
@@ThoR52 I’m not hearing that interesting musical statement. Being a deathcore band is almost the opposite of an interesting musical statement. Quantisation much??
@@Xplora213 I don't know how you think they're a deathcore band, but whatever. Anyway, I find their pieces really engaging, they have great dynamics, interesting structure, moody chords, insane technicality, fantastic soundscape, they're really emotive, there's clearly thought to the played notes, not just mindless scale shredding over a very "whatever" riff - truly like nothing I've heard before. That's what I'd call making interesting musical statements. But if you don't find it interesting, that's ok, music is an individual experience. Personally, I find lots of other tech death super unengaging, because they just can't make me feel anything. And if they use a fretless bass, can't listen to that shit.
@@DomiBlueShellz that which is asserted without evidence can be ignored without evidence. I don't give a damn about your opinion. I have given you a reason to give a damn about mine.

I swear you're one of the most relaxed bass players I've ever seen, your technique is so under control it's crazy. This is the sort of mastery of technique I like aspire to have.

This is a playthrough and not doing some playback over the album audio. There are moments that looks like he is playing in slow motion. Total control of the instrument. Insane.
This is goals. Been playing for 25 years and this motivated me to level up. Best metal bass tone I've heard in a while (whole album kills). Bought a Kiesel Vader and darkglass pedal to emulate. Picked up the sheet music too. This is extremely difficult to play, but enjoying the challenge.
I know that you made this comment two years ago. but You should check out the band Omnific. They are literally what you described th-cam.com/video/AqVuQNxvc5s/w-d-xo.html
Finally a bass player who knows when it's his moment to shine, and when he just needs to follow the guitar. Great playing and songwriting man, keep up the good work.
I have become hopelessly addicted to Archspire, every time I listen to "Relentless Mutation" I notice something new and get goosebumps all over again. This CD has been in the stereo for about a month & I can't think of a single valid reason to swap it out for anything else.
This is what years of practice and dedication and playing over and over and over again looks like. Love this band, every part of it, and I do like the vocals, it's a compliment to (and doesn't take away) from the instruments.
BurnThePope agreed. Haven't seen Archspire live yet (but I will in a few weeks), but Origin's live performances are mind-bending. Whoever decided to put these bands on the same lineup is a legend.
This guys has complete mastery of his instrument. It's beautiful to watch, he is completely relaxed and composed as he plays. When the video begins, he actually plucks his harmonics a bit hard and got some buzz. Immediately corrected and plucked some gorgeous notes perfectly. Stay sheding my man.
loving these scales and hey who ever said you need a pick to be a metal bassist.. you're absolutely slaying it dude... making our bass player watch this :)
If you do, he'll tell you the same thing I told my guitar player who showed it to me; and asked why I don't play like this. I said, "If I did, you'd listen to me even less."
Real bassists dont use a pick. Its called fingers. Plus if u want more bite in your tone theres a technique called double thumb and its not hard to get down. Anyway id love to see this guy do work with dominic lapointe or erland caspersen of spawn of possession, and say fuck geetars. Itd be quite entertaining.
Genaro Guerrero says a geetarist. Lol if you play bass with a pick, ud better be one hell of a player or youre just asking for ridicule. Anyone with formal training gets it. Picks on bass are sheerly cosmetic, lazy, and pointless. But more to the point, this guys playing is relentless and makes great choice of notation and articulating on runs and sweeps. Truly a master of technique and theory.
The thing I find most discouraging about my bass playing is I can't create a good tone. I don't want to blame my equipment. I must be doing something wrong.
purest and most valuable art form....priceless !! you only get to see it ,hear it ,own it for as long as the artist paints it,then there is void n silence
lucid is and always will be my favourite album from these guys , but relentless is only a smidge from taking the title - all i can say is thanks for the tunes fellas kudos to you all
I just started learning this and I have to say, the way Jared splits his fingers on both hands up in the tapping run during the intro blows my mind. I would have never figured that out from looking at the tab alone.
@@Progbassist I agree that the kicks are unbearably thin but I can't hear the bass in the official mix and I could barely hear it in this in some parts. Now that I'm thinking about it I may have lost some of my lower hearing range in the service.
Yea the bass is kinda hard to hear in some parts and doesnt actually have much low end. But it still have that "clang" and presence that makes it cut thru pretty nicely.
This video is pure inspiration for a beginner bass player such as myself. I love watching kickass bass players totally rocking and jamming! Gives me hope that I’ll be great one day! Yeah! 🤘💀🤘
I was just listening to TH-cam in the background, letting it do it's thing going to random videos. Then I'm listening to this song and I'm thinking "the bass is so clear in this song, I don't remember it being that clear on the album". So I turn to the page and see it's actually a bass playthrough. The bass writing on this track is so creative and beautiful. I'm glad they chose to do a bass playthrough of this song so I can hear all the awesome, bass-y details! Thanks! Can't wait to see Archspire in SLC in September, got my tickets and saving up money for a ton of merch!
Today I learnt fingered bass gallops are a thing. This entire band is nuts, the more I look at their stuff the greater their prowess appears. Jared's right hand synchronisation here is insane for me.
Just got a new phone and this was the first song I went to to see how good the phone speaker on it is!! The speaker is good but this song deserves an even better one 🔥🔥
Haha I watched the guitar playthrough and I couldn’t stop thinking about it should be bass instead. This was a damn fine choice if it had to be one tho
Mind blowing outer dimension shit...I just turned 40 and I been into metal since I was a kid.. discovered these guys a few weeks ago and I can't stop listening haha
@Blubber and by doing he ruined it. Can't find one bass video with seeing his name in the comments and people saying shit like epico and all the other corney shit he says
I just want to see the time signatures of a whole song. I wanna see if it's as crazy as the changes and insane patterns. These guys are true mathematicians.
Jared is insanely good. The new Archspire album needs a very prominent bass solo (where the bass takes a spotlight for a little bit). It needs to be fast and technical enough that the famous youtuber davey504 cannot play it.
I'm a reasonably proficient bassist but I knew I'd bitten off way more than I could chew when I got to that tapping run at 0:34 😂 that one tapped note with the slide... I'm out!
I have never seen this before but when i saw that bass, I was hoping he would play like that. I still caught my jaw hanging all the way through it lol .
During the quick, intermittent runs of notes (for example around 3:35) - is that three notes, or four? Is he using the pinkie for a fourth pluck, or is the pinkie just moving sympathetically with the ring finger? (super excited to learn this song, the video is very much appreciated!)
Call me a simpleton, but that muted big string very near the end of the song...just does it for me. It's the cherry on top of an already great song-icecream-sunday
This has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it when dropped. Idky I never thought to look up a bass play-through! The bass blew me away and then some lol sadly bassists get overlooked in most metal but tech death (Archspire in particular) never lets me down 🥺 I’m not sure if Jared makes me want to practice more or sell my bass 🤣
3:10
Guitarist: "So, I'am going to shred some sick solo at this part, how about you?"
Jared: "Same?"
Jezus very inspiring awesome work ✅✅✅☝️🤘🔥👁🔥
Guess that makes it a duo ^^

It's a miracle itself only to memorize a whole song.

Its a life at this point.
It’s not that hard when you write it
Bruh. Don't be ridiculous. This song is not so complicated. Well, maybe for tiny metalhead brains.
its all scales and shapes thats how its memorized easily
Bands like Archspire are the Formula 1 Racers of music. they are performing within the top 1% of their field. ELITE musicians.

As a decent death metal drummer of 30+ years, I’ve recently aborted all attempts at covering Spencer Prewett’s impossible drum tracks.

His form and technique are nearly flawless which is part of why his playing is so exquisite.

possibly the best bass playthrough ever..

This is one of the most played bass playthroughs on YT and for good reason.
What a great song choice for showing off that insane three finger right hand technique. Good lord that was awesome.
Beyond just the skill, the memory needs to play a full set of this is insane.
The talent in this band is truly amazing.
