You sir...are a real one!

Incredible stuff. Not a single weak moment on Everything is Fire. Possibly my favourite album ever.

YES someone else knows about them - that album is the tits

I'm wearing that shirt right now

yes

I'd love to do something off Vermis, specifically Confronting Entropy. But from what I understand, they use various tunings on that album and that just makes an already difficult transcribing job way more complex. I tried learning it before and was puzzled right off the bat, the notes I'm hearing and the shapes needed to play em in standard tuning make the parts impossible.

hahahah

Cheers man, I'm very humbled to hear all that! Some general transcribing tips I can provide are: - dive headfirst into ear training if you haven't already - live and breath the exercises that you come across - try to use a DAW (or program like Transcribe) to explore the panning of a song and the whole spectrum of sound in general when trying to figure out individual parts

@@noobsauce That's a lot of great information! Thanks for such a quick response! I sincerely appreciate it. It's not every day you get that sort of interaction with people who are actually in the bands you listen to on a regular basis. I'll have to download the software, and see if I can't pull it off. Cheers Oleg!

isaac dissonance

@@depthsofabjection yep....

It is! It's the No 1 Stretch Strap. A fair warning if you try it, it's very long. I made a custom hole higher up on the leather to compensate, and I'm a fairly lanky person at a 6' height.

That's one of my favorite Ulcerate songs, and I remember getting frustrated trying to figure that song out when it was released. Might have to give it a go again. Are they tuned to Drop A on that one?

@@noobsauce i know they are tuned lower on that album then the others for a few of the songs i read that in an interview. you can see the chord positioning pretty clear in this live video. even seeing this video i still couldnt figure it out !! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fd15jLx01KvSYXk.html

Complex unreal 😯 piece of devastating death metal

Thank you! 🙏 It's an Ormsby Hype 7

@@noobsauce oh i see, very sick looking axe dude!

yep, album rules

@espertie Thanks for naming the band.

Not all, but most from the last 7+ years

I'm not a fan of Ulcerate's continued direction post-EiF, so no covers. Maybe I'll do Confronting Entropy or Vermis one day, those songs are bangers.

And new Arti B is super close to being done! There have been a lot of real life obstacles, not including covid, that have slowed down the recording process over the past few years. But we're finding the extra time has brought forth new elements that aren't present on the first two albums, and we're extremely excited for everyone to hear these songs.

Thank you! It sure is, it's a run 2 Hype

Thank you! I haven't tabbed it yet, but I plan on tabbing it and sharing here soon.

@@noobsauceOlegggg please share the tabs when you did "crying"

@@noobsauce

@@noobsauce I still got the tab from rivers of gore laying around here, if you're interested. Seems pretty accurate.

@@UweKowski sure, I'll take a look at it! My cover is just my own interpretation, so I'm curious what others had in mind. Feel free to link up with me on facebook. Also, I'll still be sharing my tab here. I have Guitar Right fully done, just need to learn the left side's parts.

I would argue that the production on Ulcerate's albums is relatively clear. The difficulty in making out the guitar parts mostly lies in the disharmonic intervals creating jagged frequency vibrations that, mixed with heavy distortion, can amplify the subfrequencies produced by that dissonant clashing. If this sounds like some kind of black magic, look up the harmonic overtone series, it should shed some light. And definitely the years of practice help, the only way to get your ear sharper is by using it over and over.

​@@noobsauce Yes. When you have one guitar playing both very low and high notes, what ends up happening with the overtones that are produced by both notes is that the distortion creates an affect of "ghost frequencies" being present in the sound, which can make it like you are hearing 50 different things, whereas it might be as little as 2 or three. But, if you ask me, bands like Ad Nauseam have much better production when it comes to such sounds compared to Ulcerate.

@@viki2133 very true, especially in Ad Nauseam's case! Those guys have probably the clearest natural production I've heard in extreme metal

@@noobsauce bruh, covers from the new ad nauseam album when? I really can't wait to see you unravel that shit. It's so chaotic. Sub Specie Aeternitatis or the title track would be fucking great choices

@@noobsauce Oh and as fucking hard as that sounds, id love to see you record left and right guitars in separate takes, cause the guitars are never doing the same thing. like rarely do they match up the entire album

More like Post rock meets blackened abstract death metal

I'm actually using amp sims here, Line 6 Helix Native plugin in Cubase. My signal chain is noise gate - Hedgehog OD pedal (Ibanez TS9) - ANGL Meteor (ENGL Fireball) - Ownhammer IR of Mesa Boogie - light reverb

I unfortunately do not have the time for any lessons. Maybe if I can break out of the 9-5 cycle, one day!

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll have this re-uploaded by tomorrow. Sorry about that!

@@noobsauce or just upload to ultimate guitar as with your older videos.... Sad no one did the newer albums. Ulcerate is not the easiest stuff to figure out even if being used to the style. You helped me out a lot with those older ones.

@@TriInfinity ultimate guitar is the worst, I stopped uploading there after repeatedly declined tab submissions. They don't care about accuracy of tabs, and they require tabs to be submitted with full instrumentation

Updated the link to a Google Drive folder, let me know if you're having any issues downloading/viewing.

Yeah

@@noobsauce H O W ?

@@hk-4738 just have to slowly chip away at learning things by ear over and over and continuously step out of your comfort zone. Over time, that comfort zone grows larger. Taking music theory and ear training courses in high school helped big time. Interval recognition through melodic and harmonic dictation exercises will go a long way in opening your mind's ear. It sounds new-agey, but you can actually develop a sense of pitch recognition that allows you to feel chords first rather than hearing them. All that + knowing what is or isn't possible on guitar, I can whittle down what's happening close enough most of the time. I also use a program called Transcribe! that allows me to focus on any point of the L to R stereo panning spectrum, loop parts, slow things down, pitch shift, etc. It also has a 20-band EQ that I can sweep through or low/high pass to "remove" low and high frequency signals, bringing the mids (mostly guitars) to the forefront. The more I manipulate the track, the less clear the audio comes through, so it's a bit of a balancing act. All these features are available with any standard DAW, but Transcribe!'s UI is stupid simple and allows me to focus solely on transcribing. I'm happy to help with any more insights if you have questions, I love nerding out about this stuff.

On a side note; what guitar model is that? I looks pretty sick.
