and then everybody clapped

Damn dude, what's your band?

Decapitated opened for necrophagist it was insane are you in Decapitated

Voice Of Dissension. We were from Long Island NY but we broke up in 2007. Twas a fun time

@@stevepiotrowski-musician6908 are you Tim, Nick, Alf, Steve or Ant?

Yeah Suicmez was the main force behind Necrophagist and he's got a day job. Surprised he did so much touring actually. I think he was still in uni then.

Absolutely! Well said!

if you never got to see them live, boy you really missed a transcendent experience. i saw them in 09 at an all day metal show, lots of good acts, but necrophagist ended the evening, and it was like everyone was just in a trance.

@@MattMajcan Amazing! Wish I could have been there! Congrats on getting to experience some truly great music!

Couldnae agree more. I still listen to this record once a week. These cats are an aural textbook. Kia kaha \m/

Explains how he composes his beautiful solos

@@legionIAMBELIAL Christian Muenzner wrote the solo in Stabwound along with the baseline. But in interviews Mohamed said he wrote everything which isn't true. Christian was involved in the other tracks aswell.

@@m_b4 ahhh ok, thanks my dude

@@m_b4 Christian Muenzner is extremely underrated when it comes to writing. Necrophagist, Obscura, Spawn of Possession. This dude has literally played and made some of the most insane technical death metal in history.

@@m_b4 Suicmez wrote the best Necrophagist solos.

Not to mention he pulls both off on live shows, flawlessly. While he does compose as a singer + guitar player would (Meaning you work the lyrics around the more intricate part of the riff and sing in burst when there's a bit of space or something not as technical is going on. Chuck Schuldiner did this too for example) the tempo here is so ridiculously fast than just one mistake would immediately throw him off both lyrics and guitar. Good thing Muhammed rarely makes any mistakes he's just an incredible player.

Now he's just a humble mechanic for BMW lol

@@chaosclg engineer. Very different to mechanic

I met the guy in 2003 or 2004 without knowing it. Was at a party here in Germany, everyone a metalhead. Later someone told me that this one guy who was there that evening had a band called "Necrophagist". I thought the name was dumb, so it could have stopped there... BUT two or three years later a friend told me about this "great band Necrophagist" and then I listened to "Epitaph" and was blown away. Never met Muhammed again. A shame.

Hey Doc!

and the clarinet cover by Caleb !!!

I have no idea what that is, but that's an hilarious song name. The visual one gets after that is pretty epic.

Fermented Offal Discharge to this day contains my favorite solo in death metal, hands down

Seconded.

@@vaughnblaylock6069 Haha, It's such a typical death metal song title, it's got a guitar solo on it though that made Necrophagist famous outside of their own scene. Search the clarinet cover, it's incredible.

I'd say Relentless Mutation or A Dark Horizontal is a better choice for him, but honestly any Arcshpire song would be great

@@samirgolchha that's right!

Agreed. He has to hear this :D

Great suggestion! Would love to hear his thoughts on the engineering. Plus his reaction to the vocals would be priceless!

@@samirgolchha A Dark Horizontal would be way more interesting tbh

Good music is timeless. If we consider pop music we are definitely behind old gems, and also classical music. Baroque still rocks hard.

It's really really difficult for me to imagine that there would ever come a time an album this perfectly performed and mixed would be considered as sounding outdated.

Same

Same, and they still only have two albums out, maybe one day

Damnit, we got old...mission failed

Oldie but goldie

How do you go even just a year without listening to this song?

christian muenzner was lead in epitaph?

@@dase1n352 Only on certain tracks.

@@Henry14arsenal2007 Yeah he contributed two solos if I remember correctly. Muhammed wrote pretty much everything for both records, drums and bass included.

Hell yeah this song is soo good

Also if you were to listen to anything by Necrophagist again, I would recommend "Fermented offal discharge". That song's solo is like a beam of light coming from the heavens above.

@@edinglaoben that beam of divine came directly from the "Seventh" heaven

and not forget that the mastermind Muhammed Suiçmez is of Turkish descent

@Tapinaldo i was replying to Doran who is Turkish

They took me with Seven

At least we have DEEDS OF FLESH and ARCHSPIRE to carry on the cerebrally gifted instrumentalism of tech-death at this God-tier level.

@@Virvum_Juggernaut #staytech

I would also suggest Fundamental Process by Beyond Creation. Both tracks are standouts!

Yess please!! 🎸🎸

Heck yeah. Beyond Creation has several excellent choices for a review!

I'm voting for Earthborn Evolution, that one is my favourite!

Definitely second Earthborn Evolution.

Seconding Spawn of Possession. Apparition would be a good pick.

Deus Avertat and The Evangelist too

Third..ing? 🤔🤘

@@atleast400demogorgons3 It's their best song imo. Tied with Scorched, of course.

Any spawn of possession track would be awesome . On another level than Necrophagist imo. I love Necro but it’s true.

I saw them on a festival playing after several brutal death metal bands. Necrophagist actually killed the pit in the beginning of their set because everyone was just totally in awe

Saw them on Summer Slaughter. I knew their work but had no clue Muhammad played lead and did vocals. Blew me away when I saw it live.

I'm still waiting :(

Bangers

A Dark Horizontal as well

Yep +1 on this suggestion. Specially since he seems to be reacting rather positive to it, even unexpectedly so since most people who are not metalheads usually don't take too much to extreme music even if they do enjoy other forms of metal.

And Cytotoxin!!

Remote Tumor Seeker! I'm curious if he'd be able to catch out 'the easter egg' of this track

I think a lot of people getting into death metal do that, I know that I did.

He's not the one it's chris

@@caspervanhout Why would you listen to aggressive music with clean vocals lol.

@@R3tr0v1ru5 Why not? Opeth are/were proof that you can make clean vocals work incredibly well with aggressive backing (cleans over the blast beats in The Lotus Eater a great example). Sure, Mikael growled as well, but not always, and many of their best heavy moments came whilst having him singing instead of growling. Let's also not forget that thrash metal exists, which is aggressive music, and many vocalists employ clean singing (Hetfield, Belladonna, Mustaine etc.). Regardless, that's not the point they were getting at, at all. They obviously didn't like harsh vocals at the time, but loved the musicianship on show in these insane tech and prog death bands. When you get a band like Necrophagist who came along, with guitarists like Muhammed and Christian, people will want to hear how good they are, so they'll tune out the vocals in order to focus on the guitar work.

He's the vocalist too 😃

Are you… me? Fermented offal discharge is the best imo

or The Insomniac :o

Ron Jarzombek is nuts! (So is his brother, currently with Fates Warning for 3 albums :). Geebz needs to hear tracks from Watchtower - "Control and Resistance" (1989! Way ahead of its time).

I remember seeing Nolly covering this, and falling in love with the sloppy drum fill just before the crazy heavy breakdown. Holy shit.

Yes, agreed.

foul body autopsy

year late but yeah FOD has the best tech death solo ever made and its not super close

Yes correct,amazing solo guitar❤

Imma have to agree that fermented offal discharge is the best tech death solo of all time.

Fuke yes!! Seeing lots support for Apparition. Keep the votes coming folks!! It's a bloody masterpiece of a track which ANY composer would be blown away by, as far as I've seen anyway...

Definitely Heartwork!

Carcass - "This Mortal Coil", by far my fave Carcass track, those riffs just kill.

Unfit is such a great song to try and use to get someone into the band, just because the production level was so much higher on Surgical Steel. I've had a lot of people tell me old Carcass is hard to take in because it was so raw. Would love to see more people into the band

yes please

Yesssssssss

He should read lyrics for that one, since the music mirrors the lyrics perfectly.

Yesssw plzzzz

Love Spwan of possession, but the polish on their records just isn't there.

@@paulburger9904 on Incurso everything on there is top notch, including production.

If you do drivers of Nihil, you have to do Black Crown Initiate - Belie the Machine. Both bands are from the same town - Reading Pennsylvania

dont forget Blasphemy Made Flesh/None So Vile era Cryptopsy

YES. Best album of theirs, even though the newer ones did grow on me.

Tightest death metal band, only bested by Extol

Necrophagist died and The Faceless rose to take their place.

Autotheism for me but yeah, altogether they're (he's) great

Two days in a row a highly liked comment requesting The Faceless, love it. I'd also prefer Autotheism, but Planetary Duality is also amazing.

i agree

YESSSSSS!!!

Then some Obscura (An Epilogue to Infinity) and finally we go full circle on the whole Münzner shebang and finish up with Alkaloid - Funeral for a Continent

@@spitefulwar Hell yeah. I fucking love Müenzer's stuff. I can't wait for the new Obscura album featuring David Diepold, Christian Müenzer, and Jeroen Thesseling as new additions. It's releasing later this year. Ekpyrosis or Ethereal Skies would be a better choice of songs from Diluvium IMO.

Oh yea! and then Ulcerate

Really going into the deep end with those Deathspell Omega type riffs, it’s wonderful.

thanks for sharing dude, this album is mindblowing

Also ulcerate-cold becoming!!

yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah my dude

"they built most of their own instruments and recording equipment" Sorry, but where is this from? at least in their pictures their gear looks normal.

seconding this

Baroque composition for daysss

Yes!

Absolutely, I'm sure The Decomposer will love it!

FINALLY. No ever mentions Spawn of Possession in Nercophagist reaction vids.

wouldn't be surprised if they're making more money building them though, still it sucks!

@@almost.sweettalk.caffeine definitely making more money being an engineer with a PhD working for BMW than in a relatively obscure metal band!

I'm in a band too and although we aren't as big as Necrophagist we still have quite a following. Touring we lose money, recording we lose money that we put into the band ourselves. Then there's maintaining a practise routine and balancing kids, a full time job etc. If you aren't jumping on trends to sell t shirts and letting record labels tell you what to do with your own music then you aren't getting anywhere so I don't blame him! Not to mention the hype from this album is so big he could probably never follow it up to expectation

@@chaosclg what’s your band called? Would be cool to check you out

@@OCNmeticadpa XisForEyes, I guess notable tracks for you to checkout would be numb populace and drown the sun. We're DIY now so the quality suffers but the love remains. Hopefully it's something you can enjoy!

Oh yes. Please please please do a song from Nile. The Eye of Ra or anything from that album would be great

User Maat Re!!!

YOU SHALL NEVER AGAIN SEE RA

Cheers from Chile!!!!

haha i just mentioned this to him after the Septicflesh video. Saying the drummer plays like he drank 10 cups of coffee

Mandatory follow up

Yessssssssss

I'll be honest here, I loved King when it came out, but always felt like their stuff was kinda mixed messy. Now I feel I can properly hear all the layers, and the composition and engineering (of Veleno particularly), has made me appreciate them that much more.

@@andystockman761 i agree

YES! please :D.

Yay! I LOVE Gorod. One of my absolute favorite bands ever.

The Faceless is great, anything from Autotheist Movement is my jam

Fuck yeah, the faceless would be great!

And to add, the drummer at one point was Marco Minnemann. He has played with Paul Gilbert and is currently in The Aristocrats with Guthrie Govan

Alex Rüdinger posted a drum cover where the Chon guys provided the guitar tracks

In this vein bc they share guitarist and drummer! Great track recommendation.

Or "Velocity". First time I heard of that song, someone had stated they "just didn't understand the guitar solo" 🤯 To this day, that solo is simply cosmic.

Stiiiiiiiill born one

mutilate is relentless, underappreciated song

Culinary hyperversity is a good one too

Aeons Torn!
