Nick Barker is my favorite Metal drummer by far. He is much more creative then most metal drummers in my opinion. and his drumming in Cradle and Dimmu is amazing.
Because of this song, a lot of people got to know black metal (as I did). Eternally thankfull to Dimmu Borgir for opening the gate to this amazing world.
Man, Barker wrote some of the most interesting fills in black metal. Not a huge fan of the band, but this was some of their "better" work. Fucking killer cover. Audio is sounding killer, the blend of mic n' trigger complements the overall mix very well.
Met Barker on the Dimmu tour 21 years back. Always been my favorite drummer, and biggest inspiration, as a drummer myself. Early Cradle and the two Dimmu appearances are flawless masterpieces thanks to his touch. Good job covering his work, you're a talented man, Samus. Keep up the sweet vids. God Bless.
Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and this CD were ridiculously important for me growing up. Nick Barker is the most important metal drummer that no one knows about. Great job Samus. 🤘
Samus I am an old school drummer, Death, Slayer, you name it. But these nw generation drummers like George Kolias and so forth,but watching you play is awe inspiring.Your Drums sound beautiful to my ears and any cover you play is so much better than the original drummers. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your awesomeness with the world and you are in my opinion # 1 on the drum scene. I had G Kolias as #1 until i started following SSSAMUS , and yjou now are at the top . Also your a nut n have a great personality. Keep it up your an Ambassador to the drum world.
Lembro q quando comprei esse play ouvia essa musica sem parar foi meu primeiro contato com BM sinfonico, e ver alguem tocar assim nessa perfeição é muito Foda !!!
One of Dimmu Borgirs biggest mistakes was letting Nick go. He was the best drummer they ever had. No one else even comes close. What a beast of a drummer.
What do you know? Somehow you have become my new favorite drummer. Not to mention how entertaining and funny you are. Thank you sharing your talents, time and energy.
Today your kit sounds even better than it normally does, have you changed anything at all?? Absolutely top of the tree world class drumming, fuckin breath tacking!
You are simple one of the best modern drummer I have ever seen/heard. I've got 2 request.- 1.) Under the glass moon by Dream theater and 2.) Nothing to say by Angra. Please? ^_^ \m/
Question. Instead of a lesson, can I pay you to just come set up my drums for me? Your set always looks so god damned comfy. Either way, I've been waiting so long for another Dimmu cover and like always you absolutely killed it. Just a lil Barker Prodigy you are
Awesome! It'd be cool if you played something from Kreator one day too! (if possible "Under a Total Blackened Sky", the most melodic and underrated Kreator song ever!)
Is this being played in a slower bpm than the original or am i hearing wrong ? anyway sounds nice with a bit "slower" kinda dragging the beats i like it.
Nick Barker is criminally underrated.
Simon Henrichsen totally
His work in Cradle of Filth is nuts
Thank you
100% agree!
He and Frost were the two that got me into wanting to learn how to play. So fast, so precise and neither use the swivel technique.
Vortex and Mustis added so much to them as a group.
ThomasRocksU I agree. Since they left it just hasn't been the same. High hopes for new album but was disgusted by their latest.
Vortex's cleans fist so perfectly with black metal. It was like a viking's ghost wailing in a fjord.
Daray's still a great drummer.
and Galder
Nick Barker is my favorite Metal drummer by far. He is much more creative then most metal drummers in my opinion. and his drumming in Cradle and Dimmu is amazing.
I think this is the best cover of this song on yt so far! Great work in getting all the little "barkeresque" details right!
Because of this song, a lot of people got to know black metal (as I did).
Eternally thankfull to Dimmu Borgir for opening the gate to this amazing world.
I just did, lol
a nerdy purist might say Blackened Death Metal, but I digress ~
DarkRenaissance2012 symphonic black metal
"symphonic power" with occasional black metal vocals.
George Tsiros wrong
Never get tired of Vortex singing on this song. So damn good.
YOU NAILED IT!!! Even got the little quirks that Nic had...I miss him and Vortex and Mustis being in Dimmu Borgir
Man, Barker wrote some of the most interesting fills in black metal. Not a huge fan of the band, but this was some of their "better" work. Fucking killer cover. Audio is sounding killer, the blend of mic n' trigger complements the overall mix very well.
Agree!!
This is absolutely incredible Samus! I've never seen anyone approach Nick Barker and match his ferocity. Awesome playing!

absolute beast of a cover! Nick Barker's genius and most original composing is clearly visible here
Damn.. I haven't heard this song in YEARS.... Great cover by the way.
This is such a dark and hauntingly beautiful song... and you bring it to life. Loving it matey
66Samus, how have I not come across your videos sooner? This drum cover is much more than I expected! You make it look so easy!
Awww hell yeah!!! Amazing Samus!!
Samus I am an old school drummer, Death, Slayer, you name it.

Keep it up your an Ambassador to the drum world.
The nostalgia is strong with this one. Sick drumming man, you've earned a new sub!
every time I hear your intro "oh yuurrrr"
I fill in the rest with "day bow bow... chickichikahhh... day bow bow... oooooh baby."
That drum solo you did was very good and i thing you are one of the best drummers in the world!
Lembro q quando comprei esse play ouvia essa musica sem parar foi meu primeiro contato com BM sinfonico, e ver alguem tocar assim nessa perfeição é muito Foda !!!
now the rest of the album!
One of Dimmu Borgirs biggest mistakes was letting Nick go. He was the best drummer they ever had. No one else even comes close. What a beast of a drummer.
Gene Hoglan was the best... Too bad he was never a permanent member.
Nick Barker and Hellhammer, those two are forces to be reckoned with on drums for sure. They screwed up when they let both of them go.
Nailed it bro! I would love to see you cover any song from Opeth or Melechesh! \m/
Wow, that was perfect. Always great covers - awesome drumming, terrific song choice, and the accuracy - spot on. Keep 'em comin'!
Beautiful playing! Best cover of this song I’ve seen yet...
I bought that album because I knew Nick Barker was playing on it. Been a fan of his since the CoF days
Epic cover, and man Vortex's clean vocals were so epic I was sad to see him leave Dimmu back in the day
Once again Samus kills it! Samus..lifts you up and never let's you down.
Bad ass man. Dimmu always have excellent drummers with parts that aren't easy to cover, but obviously you can.
Been watching your channel for a while now, and for some reason I didn't know you covered this song. Pure nostalgia and a killer cover!
First time that i've heard Dimmu borgir and i got to say it sounds great. Very good cover also. :)
Absolutely nailed this!!!!! It was a pleasure to watch. Nicholas Barker is a GOD!!!!
What do you know? Somehow you have become my new favorite drummer. Not to mention how entertaining and funny you are. Thank you sharing your talents, time and energy.
Best drum cover of a Dimmu Borgir song I’ve heard yet.
I'll name my next dog Nicholas because of Barker! 😈🐕
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call the dog Barker? Because, y'know, it's a dog and they bark...
I'll see myself out.
Heh! Nice one, BeardedDanishViking
the go to place for immaculate Barker covers 🤘🤘♥️♥️
Excellent rendition of one of the most epic examples of symphonic black metal! Well done man. \m/
Dude you are insane. Sweeeet groove and articulate. 9.9/10
Nick Barker is the master. Can't wait for what he comes out with next.
Hey Samus can you please do a drum cover of Fleshgod Apocalypse The Violation that'll be killer man!
Dylan Forrester fuck yes!!!
This is one of my favorite song by dimmu. Awesome cover
66Samus is criminally underatted!!!!!
That double bass though! Killer!!!!

Today your kit sounds even better than it normally does, have you changed anything at all?? Absolutely top of the tree world class drumming, fuckin breath tacking!

Great job samus! As always :)
I love your drumming style
Perfect, Lord Nick Barker is the best
You are simple one of the best modern drummer I have ever seen/heard. I've got 2 request.- 1.) Under the glass moon by Dream theater and 2.) Nothing to say by Angra. Please? ^_^ \m/
Very nice tone!!!! Full and Powerful!!
Question. Instead of a lesson, can I pay you to just come set up my drums for me? Your set always looks so god damned comfy.
Either way, I've been waiting so long for another Dimmu cover and like always you absolutely killed it. Just a lil Barker Prodigy you are
I want to see you cover ABSOLUTE SOLE RIGHT and INDOCTRINATION man. Your drum sound matches his really well.
I remember jamming so much to this album
Ooouuu yeeeeaaaaarrrrrr!!! nice work
Awesome! It'd be cool if you played something from Kreator one day too! (if possible "Under a Total Blackened Sky", the most melodic and underrated Kreator song ever!)
Fantastic drum cover!
the best drummer in youtube..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Impressivly clean!
The first time I looked up this cover was by an Asian(Japanese?) guy, and he nailed it. Both of you are amazing drummer. Cheers!
Amazing playing!
02:00 "Hey hey, not so fast, my friend!"😄🤟
Next Time, Can you do "The Legacy" or "The Maelstorm Mephisto" by the great Nicholas Barker?.... :)
I don't get it... what is inside that thing in the end of each video? Samus special creme?
Is this being played in a slower bpm than the original or am i hearing wrong ? anyway sounds nice with a bit "slower" kinda dragging the beats i like it.
Great performance of a great song.
Just aweosme 😮
And as always, your drumming blows my freakin mind 🙌🏻
Ps, would you consider doing "lost in undertow" by Opheon?
The best cover by far!
have you thought about covering Shattering the Skies Above by Trivium? Thought would be a fun one.
Kit sounds amazing. What is the snare I must know
I LOVE THIS SONG! oooouuuuu yuuuuuurrrr!!! you nailed it dude!!!! 10 e lode!!
Incredible!
Dude you are fucking epic, your playing is simply brilliant.
Love those double rides, that stereo effect.
Can u do Crystal Mountain by Death next please?
