this song is legendary, theres also a clarinet cover of it on youtube and yes the dude kinda crushes it
That video is GOLD.
That guy could cross the Atlantic with one breath
That dude is a fucking god, he's one of a kind for sure.
KINDA crushes it???? he should be part of the band!
As a classically trained clarinet player, he absolutely got it spot on. The insane technicality with high register leaps, precise articulate, and complete mastery of breath control along with the endurance to play all of that in one take. If he can play that, he can play anything. I wish to sound like that one day.
In this album, it's Muhammed doing vocals, guitars, bass AND drum programming.
and he got a degree in engineering. last i had read he was working at bmw
@@andykapsar4667 yeah hes been working with BMW for a while now.
yeah, that's the most ridiculous thing about this album - and Necrophagist, in general. It's basically just Muhammed, but then dolled out to other amazing musicians, who are also amazing. when i saw them live and we talked to Muhammed, he basically said they don't ever practice together, he just writes it and they play it. what the fuck!?!?!
a man of culture i see
And you can tell since the drums and bass sound like Guitar Pro
Impressive how Necrophagist will never get old. It doesn't matter what year you listen to.
For sure. Necrophagist is still my go to band when I want to listen to a true masterpiece
20 years later and necrophagist is still awesome. Gone too soon.
so factual
You should react to their second album Epitaph, in particular the songs 'Stabwound', 'Ignominious and Pale' or 'The Stillborn One'!
Yeah, pisses me off how everyone sucks up to this song. Symbiotic in theory or Ignominious would be my choices.
@@Antarath My two favorite songs on that album! Insanely technical pieces.
Its seriosuly a much better album with better songs
@@roflswamp6 It helps that they actually had a drummer playing on the album.
I think he’d appreciate Only Ash Remains the most
Necrophagist was a peak of technical death metal. Incredible music. So well crafted.

@@brosciencePhDjoke of a band
@@Heavymetalbeard hell no
Did someone tell him. The lead singer is also the lead guitarist? Imagine that live. 200iq
The dude literally in BMW as engineer currently
And the bassist.
And he programmed the drums.
dont imagine, its real.

It’s been 13 years since the last Necrophagist performance, and nearly 20 years since the last record, a lot of bands would have faded out of our memories, but the fact that we are still talking about it says a lot.
Yeah, Muhammed Suicmez said Malmsteen was his first "guitar hero" when he was starting to play guitar, so he studied him a lot, and from there a lot of classical composers. You can hear it a lot in his songs, not just his solos, the use of counterpoint and polyphony in a lot of riffs. He also likes to precisely compose and structure his longer solos (like this one) like he's building a piece inside the song.
That's excellent. It's everything that I love in composition -- especially solo writing.
@@CriticalReactions I'm willing to bet he wrote the song around the solo. The small sweep in the first 2 sec is a dead giveaway.
@ILGustavo Well, let's be honest here, it's not like it's really lucrative career to play tech death, even giants like CC aren't exactly rich rich from doing it.
@@kookoo9235 Of course, I'd say it's unprofitable. You spend years of training and in the end you get nothing financially. Money is not the most important thing, but you can't put your life on the line and get nothing for it. It's a sacrifice.
@@Permaclok They (when Necrophagist was a group, before Onset of Putrefaction) actually already had a demo version of Fermented Offal Discharge, with a different solo. The album version is better, tho, more well crafted.
It's been said but the fact that Muhammed can play this and do vocals at the same time is light years ahead of the times.
Wouldn't you get used to it, though? Once you reach proficiency in an instrument and practice what you write long enough, surely this becomes less of a task.
The riffs are still considered very complex to this day despite its 1999 release. As a musician, I give myself a little bit of credit for understanding that these riffs are more difficult than most modern tech death bands due to time changes, palm muting, and precise alternate picking. And yes, once one has gained the muscle memory to perform these songs, they must also be able to growl without injuring themselves while simultaneously playing guitar. It takes a lot of dedication, but practice makes perfect. Muhammad is amazing.
@@Ryan-vh9bw it can be very hard but sure anything can be accustomed to
@@Dan16673 true and yet no one does it like Muhammed to this day... 😌
Necrophagist is definitely an interesting listen, especially for the solos. They’re usually one of the first technical death metal bands people get into and they definitely cemented Germany as the foremost location for quality tech death at the time (this is probably why you hear neo-classical influences). As for their place in tech death’s timeline, tech death was not a new development at the time as bands like Death, Atheist and Pestilence had been popularizing it since 1991 at least. This album (Onset of Putrefaction) came out in 1999, but didn’t become popular until it was remastered in 2004 (this version). Necrophagist were more accessible to people not familiar with the genre and their classically-derived melodies had a massive influence on modern tech death, with the genre now being divided into more “straightforward” tech death like this and the dissonant, atypical sound pioneered by Gorguts and Ulcerate
To add to that perspective, a lot of extreme metal didn't get very big until the internet made more obscure music accessible and the late 90's and early 00's are when you start to see a lot of metal acts become more recognized, as well as the beginnings of metal fusions with other genres (Of course, Athiest and Cynic were making metal/jazz fusion in the early 90's, but they didn't get popular til the 00's, and then became large influences). Necrophagist was releasing music during that period and was able to be noticed as a result (I had Necrophagist in my Top 5 Friends list on Myspace).
So, although there were some bands that were creating original sounds in the early 90's, once obscure music became accessible on the internet, metal started to grow and bands like Necrophagist were able to reach a broader audience.
Another slight addition is I'd say Gorguts and Immolation pioneered the "disso-death" genre and Ulcerate are the evolution of that innovation.
Jonathan Henderson That’s fair. Immolation were so ahead of their time that it’s easy to forget their role in the grand scheme of things
@@dan_the_pathmaster7934 Indeed. Two awesome things about Immolation is how consistently excellent they've been over the last 30 years (too many of the OG DM bands either were short-lived or really declined in quality), and how they always maintained a balance between old-school DM song/riff-writing and the more innovative dissonant approach. They also make a great "gateway" band for people who find bands like Ulcerate a bit too much but are looking to move beyond more traditional DM. Close to a World Below is still one of my top 10 DM albums ever.
Tech death was not new, but Necrophagist was one of the earlier ones (the first?) to pave the way for the more brutal tech death that you hear nowadays.
I feel like half of the people here just wait the first three minutes until the solo comes along lmao
maybe because songs from the first album are too inaccessible, emotionless, besides solos, songs from the second one, that is Epitaph, have better structure and are easier to listen to
@@triumphtinltcomicdg Advanced Corpse Tumor, Intestinal Incubation, Culinary Hyperversity and Extreme Unction are the songs, besides Fermented, that I keep coming back to. Awesome riffs and instrumental sections + crazy and/or über melodic solos.
It's the way I'd wish a respected band like Suffocation were sounding.
Can you imagine that a guy did a full cover of this song with his clarinet including the 1 minute guitar solo? Just type Fermented Offal Discharge clarinet and enjoy!
I gotta see that. His circulatory breathing skills must be off the charts.
Holy Christ.... I just checked that out and my GF who played clarinet but doesn't like death metal was amazed. I for one was laughing my ass off. But amazing
Sad to hear that tech death is not your cup of tea :-( but all I can say is that extreme metal requires a lot of time most of the time. However I really dig your analysis on the songs and it's always on point! I love it when you go into details. Necrophagist has a neo-classical side to it and so is First Fragment you need to check also with the song Le Serment de Tsion. A lot to digest even after 5 to 10 times but it's truly musical brilliance! 🙏🤘
Did you know there's a dude on youtube who played the entire Necrophagist album on guitar? He spent two years practicing the tracks.
This solo will forever be the best solo ever written in Tech Death.
It's so well written, full of classical influences. I believe the guitar hero Steve Vai even said that putting aside the horrible lyrics he would consider Necrophagist's solos as some of the most beautiful ever created in rock/metal
I will always prefer Ignominious.
"Fermented Offal Discharge" and Pink Floyd's "Time" are my favorite solos of all time!!
Any time I see someone asking about death metal (or tech-death), I always point them to the band Death, especially if they're not fond of heavy music. They're one of the most respected dm bands for good reason: lots of melody, poetic lyrics, excellent musicianship. They had a way of writing about the human condition that was powerful and not bound by that typical dm sound. If you want something a little less aggressive, Control Denied is also well worth trying.
EDIT: Just a note about the vocals: Yes the note placement and such can be seen as utilitarian but you have to remember this band has no vocalist: Muhammed does all growling and yes, while playing guitar at that level of proficiency, and he pulls it off live as well so quite the rarity to have a death metal guitarist that plays that intricate stuff and still growls but just as with the late Chuck Schuldiner, he naturally finds spots where it rhythmically fits easily for the guitar parts so that's why you get short, simple burst without much variation mostly around the more elaborate adornments going on.
This is a very influential band for Technical Death Metal and for Death Metal in general, even with a relatively tiny and sparse input they're still widely followed and for good reason. Of note is that Muhammed brings a rather interesting neoclassical style to many of the lead work (His support guitar players usually do a really good job at doing this as well but I call him specifically because well, he's been the only constant on the line up anyway if we're talking the overall "sound" chances are it's probably him specifically)
I've requested this one a lot but I think it fits even better here: For another technical death metal with a neoclassical bend, except throughout the entire song and not just mostly the leads, check out Canadian act First Fragment - Song: 'Gula' or 'Le Serment de Tsion'. Because there is more typical harmony and melodies you might like it slightly more, but no warranties as the tempos are much higher at times so it can be quickly go right over your head with all of the details of 3 lines (Bass + 2 guitars) doing entirely different lines on counterpoint and such. But it pays off to listen intently, rather well in fact.
Gracias a tu comentario descubrí a First Fragment... Y lo estoy disfrutando mucho!!!
That “Yngwie sound” has a lot to do with Necrophagists generous use of harmonic minor. They make it sound more sinister, but still very Baroque Neo-Classical.
Goddd i love it
also has a lot to do with the fact that yngwe is one of muhammeds main influences
Speaking of necrophagist, you should absolutely listen the band in which their former drummer plays, The Aristocrats, with a certain Guthrie Govan on guitar. I don’t know how to describe the genre they play... just listen to it, you won’t regret it, I promise
I always get goosebumps listening to the solo man, words can't describe how good it is
The vocalist is the lead guitarist... they were flawless live when i saw them. Been quite a few years since they broke up now.
Nice shout out you did. Glad to see that.
It took me a few listens to get into that genre. This song has one of my favorite guitar solos and probably one of the best solos written.
Necrophagist is on another level in terms of technical expertise. Even though their last album was 2004 , alot of tech death bands in general can't hold a candle to these dudes. New album releasing any day now!
Ayyyy thanks for the shout out, glad you reviewed it!
It's funny all the variety of genres in this channel, from jazzy djenty groovy stuff to techinical melodic blast beats hahahaha
Diminished to B was the first song I heard with this band back in the day.
It has stayed in my playlists ever since.
Hey, I'd like to recommend the band Imperial Triumphant and their newest album Alphaville. I would really like to see a Composer/Musician Reacts to any of the songs on the album, but personally, I think that Rotted Futures would be the best introduction (+ it is the album opener).
I'm not really a regular viewer, so I don't really know how those themed weeks work, but if you have an avant garde/experimental jazz + extreme/black metal week, please consider checking out one of their songs.
I second this. They are the future of extreme metal
3rd! I think Atomic Age and Rotted Futures are particularly interesting songs.
@@brunzmeflugen Atomic Age is great, but Transmition to Mercury is probably my favourite ATM. But my preferences change pretty fast. I have been listening to this album basically nonstop for about a week and still finding new things to like about it.
imperial triumphant is sick. lower world would be a good song.
I'm not sure about Malmsteen influences but the guys in Necrophagist were definitely listening to ballet music for some influences. The song Only Ash Remains from their album Epitaph ends with a section from Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights from his Romeo and Juliet ballet.
This solo is actually an adaptation of one of the 24 caprices by Paganini. Advanced Corpse Tumor solo too.
Which one?
Thats why epitaph is a better album meuzner is better than suizmes
Technical death-metal totally rules.
So you did a reaction to my second favorite solo ever on my birthday.. thanks dude! I'd love to see your reaction to the Ignominious and Pale solo
Greatest solo ever
See me playing acoustic version of ignominious
I am blessed to have seen this band live, and incredibly they're even better live. After the tour i saw them on they pretty much disappeared right after, never to return.. so glad i got to witness them myself. if you ever wanna react to another necrophagist song please react to "to breathe in a casket" its my all time favorite metal song
Can't believe I'm being that guy but if you remember the band chon that you reacted to a while back they are big fans of necrophagist. Interesting to see how influences work.
In case you did not know this, CHON recorded the guitar parts of STabwound for Alex Rudinger so he could do a drum play through of it. Def check it out, "alex rudinger necrophagist stabwound" on youtube
YESSSSSS
I requested and would prefer something from Epitaph because on this one the drums are programmed, but it's indeed their most famous and loved song so thanks!
and sorry for the duplicate, i didn't realize i requested twice
Edit: Right about Malmsteen, great catch! Muhammed Suiçmez, the guitarist/vocalist/songwriter was heavily influenced by him. Also, Necrophagist has my favorite solos in metal
No worries about the duplicate. Most people request the same stuff on everyone video. It was more of an oversight of mine that I put the screencap together without properly going through it.
These guys really set the standard for tech death in the late-90s/early-00s. I have immense respect for their technical prowess, but they're not a band I listen to a ton. I still tend to prefer a lot of the bands that inspired them, including Death, Atheist, Cynic, and Gorguts. If I had to guess why it's probably because I feel like Necrophagist is the point where the genre started to get a bit too clinical, though that's hard to quantify. I do think those earlier bands had a slightly proggier bent, while with Necrophagist (and Cryptopsy and Suffocation to a lesser extent) it became all about how technical you could write riffs and bass/drum patterns.
You're basically correct about Yngwie's influence on neo-classical metal, though he wasn't the only one. Before him, Ritchie Blackmoore was a very important figure, especially with Deep Purple's Concerto for Group and Orchestra (all the way back in 1969!). After that there was Keith Emerson from Emerson Lake and Palmer, Uli Jon Roth from Scorpions and Randy Rhoades who played guitar for Ozzy Osbourne. But Yngwie was probably the major figure for bands/artists after the 80s.
Saw this live and it was just as precise. Absolutely insane..
The solo in this song is my absolute favorite of any solo!
For me it’s not even up for debate there is nothing that touched the feel I get from it
Thank you for reviewing this insanely great song
This song is fantastic still can't believe it was on during prof week
Prog lol love you Brian keep up the good work 🤘
This os the first time I see one of your videos and I liked it. Great critical point of view for one of my favorite. death metal bands.
Thanks for mentioning some highlights from the blocked videos list. I've looked through it before but somehow missed that Devin Townsend was in there.
Ha, it turns out to be a reaction to a video I just watched this morning.
Even better. Double the Devin in your life today!
I have stacks of albums, and with the advent of youtube, any music is within reach; with all that, that is still my very favourite solo ever.
Bro I am still waiting for other Necro songs like stabwound, ignominipus and pale etc.
Beauty tune! happy to see some Tech Death!
Yessssss. One of my fav bands! Mohamed Sucmez is amazing. One neat thing about this whole album is it was ALL done by him. Everything was recorded by him. (Drums were programmed, but that was later filled by Marco Minnemann!) And another amazing bit is that not only is he the lead shredder, but he is ALSO the lead singer! Serious talent in Muhammad.
The drummer from Necrophagist is in on an instrumental project with Ron Jarzombek called Blotted Science. I think you would dig it a lot, but also they don't get a lot of reaction coverage. Their songs Synaptic Plasticity and Brain Fingerprinting are my personal favorites.
They're technical, but boring.
Love you man the hairs coming back
I'd love to see you do something from Planetary Duality by The Faceless. Maybe Coldly Calculated Design, The Ancient Covenant or the actual song/s Planetary Duality parts 1&2.
Oh yes!! The Faceless are a band worth checking out! Maybe listen to Xenochrist as well
@@ptr_does_music7042 Yes definitely! Also Legions Of The Serpent and Sons Of Belial. Such a special album.
Man that album is amazing
This band is flawless live too!
Best solo in the continuous space/time.
Totally on point about that solo section
need more necrophagist reactions, legends.
After you watch the misheard lyrics video for this song, you can never unhear it... I can barely contain my laughter every time I listen to it
Dude you should check out anything from their second album "Epitaph"
It's much better than this in terms of composition
I recommend "ignominious and pale" and "only ash remains"
See me playing ignominions acoustic version
I BEG you to react to Control And Resistance(self titled song) or The Fall Of Reason by Watchtower, literally one of the most influential metal bands ever.
The first tech/Prog metal band ever.
Honestly never listened to Necrophagist before, at least not really but this is pretty cool.
A lot of interesting ideas in there that I didn't quite expect.
You should react to every song!! They are pioneers! You should also check their guitarist, Christian Muenzner, he has other bands and even solo projects that you would surely enjoy!
Wow, I wasn't expecting this to be the song your daughter requested.
Haha, that one unfortunately had audio issues so we'll be re-recording tomorrow.
I'd really like to hear your breakdown of Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child live at Woodstock (other versions aren't the same). You might be able to hear all the little details he throws in, including all the extra sounds and feedback that he turns into notes of their own to add yet more detail and fill in every space. You can tell what he was trying to do and didn't have a chance to finish perfecting.
Would you react to Van Der Graaf Generator's "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". Peter Hammill went on to make amazing solo albums. They were the underground of British prog, but were incredibly unique and gifted as musicians. Such talent lost in all the growth of major prog bands. There's a fantastic live version from 2013. Gentle Giant is another band replete with talent. I cannot find a single reaction to this band - one of the few bands in the 70s I didn't have the chance to see live.
Bro this was the first song I ever listened to when my homie introduced me to them and I legit cried the single tear Indian scenario when I heard the solo for the first time
I am late to the party but you have the right levels on the volume there! Very nice
Being lucky enough to see Necrophagist live, I can tell you with confidence that Muhammed plays his solos with 10000% accuracy. The man doesn't miss a single note. It was incredible.
You must hear to Dasein, the debut album of First Fragment, specially their "Gula" song
I was smiling the whole time waiting for a long sigh when it finished.
Maybe.....maybe I'm getting more used to this stuff :)
Technical names, latin names, names from lord of the rings and extremley gory or image evoking names are all big points for band names in metal:) Love it.
All their music is like a symphony
Solo line is like Neo classical
Yo! Glad to hear you liked Oceans Of Slumber. Their new album just dropped, you should check some songs out from it if you haven't already. Maybe A Return To The Earth Below, Pray For Fire or To The Sea. Or The Adorned Fathomless Creation if you want the reeeal heavy shit.
But yeah, onto the actual video lol. I'd consider Muhammed to be like the father of Tech Death, tbh. They seem to have had a big influence on bands like Archspire, Obscura & all the other bands that have music that's hard to play lmao.
Gorguts came before, but the style was a slightly different. It definitely laid the groundwork for Tech Death, tho. So, maybe you could call them "The Godfathers Of Tech Death" lol.
The story behind Necrophagist/Muhammed is kind of a sad & happy one. Sad, because they only made like 2 albums and we'll probably never get a 3rd. But, happy because Muhammed is apparently an engineer for BMW, so the homie is out there makin' bank lmao. Also, Christian & Hannes from the 2nd album are out there letting their creativity reign free in the music world with their tons of side projects lmao.
And yeah, it's safe to say Yngwie Malmsteen had a pretty decent influence on Metal. I've heard him mentioned a lot over the years. People from Brendon Small (from Dethklok/Metalocalypse) to Vital Remains to plenty of Power Metal bands, I'm sure, and of course Muhammed were all inspired by him.
But uhh, yeah. You really should check some stuff from Epitaph. I'd say Stabwound, The Stillborn One and Only Ash Remains should be towards the top of the list.
I think Stabwound is their most popular song, but I think you might enjoy The Stillborn One. It's a slower, "calm" one by Tech Death standards. Well, I mean... for the most part. But, still lol, check it out.
You should check out Equipoise, anything off of their album Demiurgus.
Super good tech death with spanish flamenco guitars and piano. And FRETLESS BASSSSSS.
a fair criticism...no BS, no biases.
A band that Immolated their sound very well was the faceless. Check out the song xenochrist from the album planetary duality.
just a heads up, the word you're looking for is emulate. immolate means burning something to a crisp
givemeajackson ha yes! Recognized the error after I hit send.
Oh man, Necrophagist is a tech death GOAT. Epitaph is a better album, but this song is the best one off of their first album. So glad that I got to see them live before they fizzled out. They played this song during their set, but I was kind of disappointed that they changed the solo at the end. Still a great show.
i dont thibk they fizzled out, muhammed i believe said it was never going to be a permenant thing, it was just something he wanted to do and move on or something. he got a degree and moved on
@@andykapsar4667 From my understanding, he was working on a new album for years and years. In 2008, Romain Goulon said that there was a new album being made, then in 2012 Marco Minnemann said that it was still being worked on, then in 2013 Goulon said again that they were still working on it, until finally in 2016 Goulon mentioned that Necrophagist was dead. You can check their wiki and the citations for the sources of that info, and I remember reading about those updates at the time.
So, you're probably right that Muhammed got his degree and focused on work, but there were years of waiting for a promised album, with an update every few years, and I don't think Muhammed himself even ever confirmed that Necrophagist was no more. That being said, fans just need to let go and move on.
@@liliIiliIilil sounds like fear factorys history. theyre together! they broke up! new music! no music ever again! its a roller coastee for sure
He is playing and singing at the same time actually
You should react to Sun of nihility by Job For A Cowboy
Clarinet cover of this song by Gleb Kanasevich: ua-cam.com/video/50vL1uAXn7s/v-deo.html
More from Epitaph please :o
There is a reason they call it technical death metal
Would be cool if you checked out earlier death-metal bands, the grandpas of contemporary thriving tech death scene: NOCTURNUS (1992), ATHEIST (1991 or1993), DEATH (1993 or 1995), CYNIC (1993). You'll get to see the roots, not just the branches.
Also love the shirt
It's great man cool bass as well ☺️
maaan, this singer is the guitarist which is also playing the solo here xD and the rythm of course
You should check out "only ash remains" by necrophagist
4:18
Cookie Monster, is that you?
If you want to check out some stupidly fast vocals, check out Remote Tumor Seeker by Archspire
The lead singer/guitarist made the first album (the one this song is on) by himself, programmed the drums and did the guitars and bass. He wrote the lyrics (which are pretty gross) when he was 14 and made the album by himself when he was 23.
Also please react to Car Bomb - Fade Out. They do a lot of cool stuff especially with pitch shifting pedals.
React to Soen - Konikas , Opal, Pluton, Covenant, Lucidity, what ever you want :) (ex Opeth drummer, Steve Di Giorgio was also in band)
One of the greatest guitar solos ever
4:00.... We may begin
I would love to see what you think of psycroptic... (ob)servant
NECROPHAGIST is Tech Death, but it could pass for prog... Or maybe prog death, I don't know ? But I love prog and I also love NECROPHAGIST !!!!
Whats the song during the end credits!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAZAM could not tell me
but now im sittin here thinking its a GP file ?
It's my own little jingle I wrote. I've never publicly posted it anywhere and the only place to hear it is in the credits of my videos :)
Dude yes killjoy is a legend
He is Brian know the dude he's badass
you should listen to stabwound by them or any other song from epitaph, you will be surprised for sure
Culinary Hypersensitivity is a sick song by them.
A “little” Yngwie influence? Lol I’m just kidding of course, but for sure, Yngwie had an incredibly large influence on tech death guitar including Muhammed Suicmez from Necrophagist. His sweeping, tapping, fast fluid runs, and of course his playing which was heavily Harmonic Minor (Phrygian Dominant) and a liberal amount of diminished ideas sprinkled throughout had a huge impact on technical death metal that survives entirely to this day. Muhammed DEFINITELY has heard of Yngwie.
But yeah you’re 100% spot on with that point. Even players who are younger and don’t realize it, were influenced by players that were influenced by Yngwie (Michael Romeo for example took things to another level and we still see his style of tapping runs in metal today, and for sure in Necrophagist’s Epitaph).
I love Yngwie Malmsteen. I still can’t play the entire Far Beyond the Sun even now I don’t think.
you should also react to =Inanimate Existence-Staring through Fire"
There isn't really much proggy about Necro. Technical, absolutely. But for Prog Death you're better served with the projects that were spawned by the members of the this band like Obscura or Alkaloid.
You should check out symbiotic in theory that song is insane
fyi someone coverd this on a clarinet. solo too.
You should check out Horrendous
Hehhehheh "Mike Caputo" - random familiar names in the comments. It was like that one time I saw Scott Conner's comment on a Mike Caputo's video
love it how at 8:00 he simply stops moving is head and probably starts thinking "what kind of sorcery is this?" lmao
He stared into the abyss and it stared back
