  • Viraemia recording at Castle ultimate studios. Scott (me) playing "Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation"
    viraemia.bigcartel.com/
    It is a 10 string bass. I built it with a 34" scale and it is tuned in fourths from D (an octave below drop D on a normal bass) to B. If you have a problem with calling it a bass ( which is short for bass guitar) then call it what you would like, or consult the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (free at plato.stanford.edu/ ) on the problem of the many and or Sorites paradox.
    It is not a War guitar.
    And if you think that my music 'has no soul', it is not my fault, I am a ginger.
    Thank you for all the supportive and interesting comments.

    I dont understand why people think this is random garbage....sure its chaotic and scattered, but it is a WRITTEN PIECE(meaning it can be performed and re-performed, not just random un-memorized notes), and my guessing is that it was the writers intention to be that way(Viraemia titles themselves Pathologic Death Metal for christ sakes, what is it supposed to do, appeal to the masses in the same manner Slipknot does?).
    Plus, who could forget that Chorus in their song Cancrum Oris? Brilliant shredding.

    • @yameex5
      @yameex5 9 років тому +4

      60 years ago 12 tone serial music went through the same phase, though even more extreme. Note sequence, rhythms, intrumentation, etc, was all serialized and all written. In the end, one of it's most celebrated practitioner's, Karlheinz Stockhausen, came to the conclusion that when you create a texture that seems to be too consistent, it becomes boring. Obviously, if the player is playing the notes extremely quick, and there is no pattern to lock onto, it's not going to be meaningful to *most* listeners. The most you can say for this music is that it has a lot of energy, but after a while, the mind/ear seeks more substance.
      Bach embedded deep symmetries into his music, but made sure that the melodic and harmonic content was interesting and appealing.

    • @DuskbloomRose
      @DuskbloomRose 8 років тому +1

      +Mike Loutris I like this comment and Bach is awesome. It's very true what you said about serial music, however since this is metal and metal is about head banging lmao (not necessarily true and there's many ways to experience metal) it works.

    This band has very simple structures, and in one case it is literally verse chorus. The individual riffs themselves are crazy, which I myself love, but the structure of these riffs is simple and well thought out. They're actually a very catchy band. The real reason people don't like this music is because it's too brutal for them. They talk shit about this band and then listen to progressive metal which is just as technically challenging with complicated structures. The only conclusion is that it is too brutal. Only a certain percent of the population will ever enjoy atonal chromatic (Thou they are also in key many times as well.) forms of music over something more "melodic" but people like us do exist so how about you all stop whining and let us enjoy what our tastes tell us is good?

    I'm tired of "emotion". More bands need to have more strings, there needs to be more people pushing the envelope of technical ability. This is different beast, one that doesn't need preconceived notions of "emotion". Emotion doesn't make this band be good at what they're trying to do.

    • @loveisincest4123
      @loveisincest4123 8 років тому +1

      Emotion in music is not like actual emotion, it more like the intensity of the song, in metal at least. The intensity can be ruined by making the song almost to fast to comprehend. Like other technical death metal bands have been able to play extremely fast and technical, while maintaining a constant brutal feel. The amount of notes you throw in a song doesn't make it brutal, the amount of work does.

    God damn it this was seriously the best technical death metal release EVER and it was only a fuckin' EP!. I was so stoked when I heard they were going to release a full length and now its never going to happen. Good luck on your endeavors man whatever you may do with just know that even with just your ep you guys changed the standard of TDM. you created a fucking masterpiece you are seriously some of the most skilled musicians out there. Please do something with your immense amount of talent!

    What happened to tech death? It used to be an interesting thing because more than relying on wankery and too random-sounding riffs, it relied on very complex structures, odd drum beats, polyrhythm, odd time signatures, instrument experimentation, etc. This is no more than some sweeping over a constant blastbeat. Yeah, of course, this stuff is almost impossible to play to the usual guitarist/bassist and it's stunning to see someone pull this out, but it's nonetheless an uninteresting and uninspired piece of music. My opinion.

    "Excuse me sir how many strings does your bass have?" "All of them."

    Whether you like the music or not, building that thing and then playing it like you know what you're doing is a fucking feat. Well done.
