@@fdsafdsafdsafdsafd youre really projecting with that "quirky" remark chief, which is funny cuz being an anonymous prick is about the least quirky thing one can do these days.
Mirar was just one person for the first 5-6 songs but since then its became two people and man are they masters at the guitar, one guitarist is a jazz guitarist while the other is a classical guitarist and one of them plays piano so thats how you get all the insane melodies and cool chord changes within all the chaos. Also self produced these guys are ahead of their time and they are both very young, super inspiring stuff to listen to IMO, never heard anything like this.
It's funny I'm just finding this as a big fan of jazz and people are like "it takes a few listens through to understand it" and I absolutely understand exactly what's happening and why. Jazz is low-key the heaviest genre in the world.
Can you imagine meeting another metalhead in high school or college and swapping band recommendations while hanging out, and you recommend this? Friendship either cemented or abruptly terminated, no in-between.
I can already visualize these guys going to a guitar store to buy some strings. Clerk: "Hi, can I help you?" Mirar: Yeah we play heavy, got anything? Clerk: Yeah here we got the Ernie Ball Slinky 8-string, that should do you good. Mirar: Not heavy enough, got any bridge suspension cables?
@@bogdanhxc Not everyone's cup of tea to be fair 😂 I'm normally not an instrumental fan either but Mirar scratches an itch I didn't even know I had before my first listen.
incredible ep. noone's done thall like this before. mirar is out here bringing the style to insane new levels, even literally topping vildhjarta and hlb imo. man 2024 has been such a great year for heavy music.
Song must be called Rachma because that piano part is the opening of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. The riffs that kick in actually follow the same chord progression and start off with (and occasionally hit after) the actual melody notes from the first movement of the concerto.
It sounds like a classical work of art in a brutal context. I don’t normally like the ludicrously brutal but this is just incredible. Thanks for introducing me to these guys
Glad you finally did it and shared it with everyone. People need to KNOW about this release. And for the record, it DOES take a few listens to understand what's going on in there. It's a lot of noises, but there are melodies all over the place (and within the crazy pitch shifiting/screeching guitars). Just takes more familiarity with the music and they'll become clearer each time.
Mirar really is some of the most insane work I've seen done on a guitar alone. One of my favorite parts of the EP is the beginning of Franka. Those guitar runs are so tasty paired with the Harpsicord in the background!! It does take a couple listens before the music is understandable, but so worth it when it clicks!
Not by one guy, but if I'm not mistaken Mirar is just 2 people. Either way, this is probably the most chaotic thall I've ever heard, actually bonkers heavy
I'm kinda surprised it's not just one guy tbh lol Usually projects like these are done by one mastermind, but two demons, I mean people, working on it is still very impressive
In the beginning, I was just listening to the song as a whole, but the more I listen to it, the more I'm fking impressed of how many fking layers are there in those guitars and apart from that, the time signatures with the drum syncopated with the chugs of the guitar. It's just impressive overall. I just can't put it into words the intricacy of those instruments. The guitars truly were pushed beyond the limits of it's existence.
I have no idea what it says about my brain but listening to this EP really inspires my imagination and I love it. Makes me think of someone who is stuck in an endless cycle of vicious nightmares, and the only way to escape from one nightmare is to fall into another. A special hell for those who dare to dream above human comprehension, seeking answers, only to find madness and despair in the eternal void between realities… Ahem. Sorry I got a little silly with it there, very cool EP, love you Bogdan
man, i’m so happy you reacted to this ahah. one of my favourite EPs, or just general releases, of the year. Hestehov one of my favourite songs of the year. i’m proud that one of the two guys in the band is Norwegian 🙏. i was unconvinced the guitars in hestehov were just guitar, but they are somehow?!?!?! also the instrument you were looking for is a Harpsichord edit: Oslo does not feel like Oslo i always found that a strange title, banger song though
born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the stars, born just in time for dubstep djent the end section of hestehov might be one of my favorite riff sequences of all time
I've listened to this ep front to back 5 times now and I think it's probably one of the most brilliant and intricate pieces of music of the last decade
10:01 these noises sound like those incredibly satisfying laser cut videos where something is getting engraved or cut from sheet metal with some strong laser.
I think we tend to throw out avant-garde too often. This is avant-garde to me. It pushes the boundaries of what we call music - the atonality/irregular rhythms/lack of melody - but also integrates just enough to keep it engaging and listenable. This is gonna be top of my albums this year (along with Boundaries and Frail Body).
Just an incredible piece of music, start to finish. I liken it to you know the really high end fashion cat walks and they are completely nuts outfits no sane person would wear on the street but somehow high street trends are created and spawned from them? Yeah thats this in music form, SO many bands will be influenced by this and will morph it into something more palatable for a wider audience.
Pas mal non ? C'est français 🇫🇷 Love that you checked it, I always watch all your videos, i love that you keep it real, compared to most reactors who often gets cringy while they scream and smash chair over the most boring breakdown ! Keep on being yourself, this is what we love !
2:40 onward. What I imagine a "when the doom music kicks in" moment would sound like if Doomguy saw a demon punch his bunny and he clenches his first and charges at the demon horde
Show this to anyone from year 15 to 3123 and they will be suffering from an anneurism. This is black magic, I play the guitar and this is traumatizingly beautiful.
Holy shit I would never have assumed you would react to this. I'm half way through Rose Bonbon as I type this and can only imagine how Oslo and Cauchemar are gonna go. I LOVE This EP, but it's insane to see reactors absorb it because there is nothing you can do to prepare yourself for it. I am impressed though Bogdan as you get through the whole thing in one piece and I know this isn't the music you're normally bothered about. Great stuff. As a little trivia, the opening track Rachma is called that because they're playing a Rachmaninov piece, and his music's hard to play on a piano...never mind a traumatised guitar.
Mirar is one of the most unique and heaviest bands out there just wish they had a lead singer to put it all together great video and reaction I Jam this album all the time
For anyone wondering, this is from the first movement of Rachmaninoff's (hence the name "Rachma") piano concerto no. 2 in C minor... if you think Rachma is heavy, listen to the Totentanz by Liszt, now that's some real heavy shh right there... here's the link music.ua-cam.com/video/7nVmFlSV1ok/v-deo.html&si=1L9Pe1zh4AWg8Kup
i was having a full on panic attack by end of it its so dark and heavy its like getting dragged tho a torture chamber tortured slowly to death then the clam peacefulness at the end is the sweet release of death painicore i dont how someone made em sounds on guitar and was able to paint and animate such abhorrent violence in my minds eye but it was an mind blowing bone chilling first listening experience
Rachma sounds like what I imagine a 30 foot demons stomach growling to sound like. Imagine you're Doomguy stood on a cliffside and you see a giant demon walking in the distance and you know it's hungry because of that sound

Cauchemar is French for Nightmare… yeah that’s an accurate title
yep. makes a ton of sense lmao
Bro, it's basically кошмар)
Cauchemar just makes you feel like the worst nightmare is coming by that intro
that whole closer experience is menacing. what an accurate song title.
Well, it literally means nightmare in several languages
Nightmare is "Cauchemar" in french, because I think the band is partly or entirely french
Also they said in the description of the UA-cam video that the song is about insomnia

You know you’re in too deep when your first thought was “eh, this isn’t that heavy. It actually seems pretty accessible.”
