Most people don't understand metal music. I come from a classical music background, and I can say, without a doubt, these musicians are as much ,or more so so, talented as any classical musicians today. To memorize these complicated compositions, without sheet music, is to me, astounding...and the technical virtuosity they exhibit instrumentally is unprecedented..
My brother is heavy into music. Not super into all the metal genres like I am, but I whole heartedly agree that memorizing songs like this, let alone having the stamina to play a whole shows worth is a physical feat.
As amazing these guys are I think it’s a bit much to compare to a classical musician, world class soloist regularly play hours worth of material from memory with absolutely no room for mistake.
@@robr9170yes, they play (tracks they’ve learned, not written themselves) and songs that are played and performed at nowhere near the BPM that majority or extreme metal is composed at. Like saying day & night are comparable for general warmth. Two vastly different paradigms
I will be happy to quote your statement in an essay on the new (21st century) metal music just devised, intended to make the highly cultured audience of the literary quarterly aware of what a colossus this otherwise charming monster called metal has grown into, which it (this audience) has always been rather afraid of.... :)
Dont think he knows how to play hahahahaha 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Became a fan last year, only took one song from the first album I believe. Don't know if headbanging is allowed
This (as well as the rest of their work) is the best extreme music I have ever discovered. Ulcerate is, in my opinion, the most underrated band ever. Mind bending.
In my opinion they are the best death metal band right now. It's at the same time really brutal, complexe and deep. Most of the time I find death metal band kind of cold and empty : technical without depth. That's not the case with Ulcerate and Jamie St-Merrat is just an incredible drummer, really musical.
This is clearly death metal to me, but a new way of death metal, more complex and rich. In a similar vibe there's also Eryn Non Dae (they are fucking great), Nero di Marte, Zhrine... That's a beautiful new scene of metal.
Yes they are. Actually DM has become in something repetitive or basic sound (Slam) and that is not what DM must be. I really enjoy Ulcerate because they are more than brutallity and speed, they are complexity.
Gorguts been doing this since 89, deathspell omega since 98, the dissonant stuff is only surfacing now, it's in no way new, but it's legions better, thats for sure, check out the youtube channel OdiumNostrum and have yourselves a dissonant field day also Portal is the best band, I'll fight all of you irl
You know what would be nice? A whole Ulcerate set, shot properly like this one. Yes the Saint Vitus Bar sets are really nice, but just imagine...man I really hope to see them one day when this whole thing is over.
Still can't believe a human being could writing and Perform !!!!The riffs of Caecus and The earth at its knees!!!jaw dropping insane..also jamie !!a god among human compression !
This is how you should play death metal! Awesome! The drummer is one of the best out there. Great shooting as well by the cameraman. Ulcerate are, in my opinion, on the fast track to become one of the greats in death metal.
God I love this band, found this album last year at a rough point in my life. Their music isn't just heavy as fuck and intricate and dissonant, its also got genuine emotion in it, something I feel is lost with a lot of bands who do this style
A mini-festival or something with Ulcerate, Ad Nauseam, Gorguts, Artificial Brain, Sunless, Deathspell Omega, Plebeian Grandstand, Abyssal, Dragged Into Sunlight, Teleport, Anachronism and Gigan would make me instantly wet my pants
Just saw them in Syracuse NY on 11/20/23 at the lost Horizon, there were maybe 30 people there. Ulcerate was massive, sounded so fucking good. Their technicality on stage is surreal.
I recommend Autechre, for all those who also like experimental music. Especially his latest works, like EXAI, Elseq or even those new epic live sets... If you like extreme, Autechre knows how to go deep too.
I am a musician and I play in a Death Metal band, so I know how to play but don't understand how the hell they remember every riff and transition so accurately.
Being in an Ulcerate's concert must be confusing because you can't even identify a clear pattern to headbang comfortable, their composition and riffs are so dense that you feel obligated to pay as much of attention as possible , and the music and lyrical content has some complexity that you actually want to reflect what are you listening.
I can do that 🤔 First I'll need to become immortal to learn potential learn to play 3% of this...🙄 Ulcerate is in my opinion the best band in this world... They are the theme music to the Apocalypse 🤘
Do they play a pre-recorded guitar track live? Or is it just Michael played in stereo? I don't know shit about live performances (Other than enjoying them in the crowd).
I think no =) But it's not a shame, many bands make post production for a good quality sound on live vidéo. It's just weird to hear 2 guitars and see only one playing :)
No, it's a guitar effect Michael Hoggard use in which he plays the guitar riff and then use the effect to play the other riff. (I read it from an interview).
This band makes so many amazing riffs. The ambiance is crazy and scary. I wish they had a more technical and better singer. Monotone and not enough contrasts.
I'm pretty sure they had a Hate Eternal cover in their regular set list around the first demo era... I remember James introducing the song with "Yeah, this one's a bit difficult" or something similar. I also hear Hate Eternal in another band Michael Hoggard and Jamie St Merat were in around the same time - Misadventures In Self-Surgery - ua-cam.com/video/2-AWDVAOYi4/v-deo.html - there's a link in the description of that vid to download five tracks as well... the vocalist (and poster of the video) is Ben Read, who was Ulcerate's vocalist on Of Fracture and Failure
There's a riff somewhere in this song that sounds ALOT like a riff in Behold Judas so I get it. It's like Portal had a baby with Hate Eternal or Gorguts.
Drummer is insane but the band I've heard a thousand times over in the past with other bands including gorguts and many others. Excellent musicians though
I understand that the harsh, abrasive sound isnt for everyone, but you cant help but appreciate the sheer proficiency that this demands, not to mention the massive amount of complexity, depth, and music theory there is behind once you really analyze the music on a core level
Well this is what these guys find meaningful and put their heart and soul into and they wouldn’t care if you don’t like it, this music isn’t for everyone
You just don't get it. Its not for everyone. I love the twisted immolation influence. They do pull off what they are trying to accomplish and only slightly touches on the abstract believe it or not.

As an extreme metal drummer myself your words are very kind and appreciated. Thank you.
jamie's drumming skills are unbelivable.
Dont think he knows how to play hahahahaha 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Became a fan last year, only took one song from the first album I believe. Don't know if headbanging is allowed
This is THE paramount, upper echelon of technical death metal and videography, PERIOD. Thank you all involved!
This (as well as the rest of their work) is the best extreme music I have ever discovered. Ulcerate is, in my opinion, the most underrated band ever.
Mind bending.
one of these days they will summon a cosmic being by mistake.
Is it a mistake though?
By mistake?
co9 4 example? LOL
You are mistaking them for Portal.
they did and he's playing the drums
A band that will be remembered.
Peppe Frasca Word.
Peppe Frasca Yup.
This is an understatement
Two requirements to play in Ulcerate:
1) Play everything fast as hell
2) Be bald
Andrew Smith 3) play mind boggling intricate and tasty
As well as Necrophagist.
kennyalwaysdies no, the drummer has hair :^)
Be the greatest inhuman octopus like Drummer !!!!
How to be a dumb basic human being:
1) make 2 evident conclusions from a brief observation
2) turn that into an uninteresting "joke"

Loïc Paradis-Laperrière i dont know if this guys still doing "death metal" this is so much perfectionist than DM

also Portal is the best band, I'll fight all of you irl
Yes, and to me there's something really musical in their music. It's full, oppressive and beautiful.
You know what would be nice? A whole Ulcerate set, shot properly like this one. Yes the Saint Vitus Bar sets are really nice, but just imagine...man I really hope to see them one day when this whole thing is over.
the brain overheats so much trying to play this it scorches your hair off apparently
Underrated comment!!!
What an amazing band and performance. Ulcerate is one of the most creative modern death metal bands.
Ulcerate, Gorguts, and Artificial Brain are really good at writing absolute fuckery, not gonna lie
Still can't believe a human being could writing and Perform !!!!The riffs of Caecus and The earth at its knees!!!jaw dropping insane..also jamie !!a god among human compression !
Add Deathspell Omega to that list
@@Krimson5pride true and ad nauseam...
@@Krimson5pride and krallice
Interviewer : "How intense would you say your music is ?"
Ulcerate : "YES"
Always delivering jaw dropping performances.
Professional perfectionists.
Just three guys making all that (extremely technical and masterfully executed) noise. Amazing.
saw these guys twice live, what a treat, top musicians that are just clearly enjoying themselves
Mad respect for the one who filmed this and put the video together.. amazing
We need the whole show. I saw them for the first time last year and it was the closest thing to a perfect show that I've ever seen.
This is how you should play death metal! Awesome! The drummer is one of the best out there.
Great shooting as well by the cameraman.
Ulcerate are, in my opinion, on the fast track to become one of the greats in death metal.
God I love this band, found this album last year at a rough point in my life. Their music isn't just heavy as fuck and intricate and dissonant, its also got genuine emotion in it, something I feel is lost with a lot of bands who do this style
One of this days I will warp thru time and space. And I hope Ulcerate is there continuing playing as brutal.
Amazing stuff! Few bands manage to create structure out of chaos as these guys do.
This band changed my life..
that drumming!!
Can someone put a tour together w/ Ulcerate, gorguts, and origin. Thanks in advance
+Artificial Brain as opener = perfect line up
Gorguts, Ulcerate, Ad Nauseam, and Deathspell Omega
A mini-festival or something with Ulcerate, Ad Nauseam, Gorguts, Artificial Brain, Sunless, Deathspell Omega, Plebeian Grandstand, Abyssal, Dragged Into Sunlight, Teleport, Anachronism and Gigan would make me instantly wet my pants
@@zb695 also hissing!!
I saw Ulcerate w/Gorguts last year in Australia with MGLA and Marduk, a varied bill but quality throughout
These guys are amazing & J St Merat is one of the best drummers on the planet in any genre.
they are the band death of our era, i see chuck spirit around them
Just saw them in Syracuse NY on 11/20/23 at the lost Horizon, there were maybe 30 people there. Ulcerate was massive, sounded so fucking good. Their technicality on stage is surreal.
this is what it must feel like to lift planets..........
I need to see these guys live again. I miss them!
A beautiful dark ritual.
the best death metal band of our time
This band are the fucking pinnacle!
I recommend Autechre, for all those who also like experimental music. Especially his latest works, like EXAI, Elseq or even those new epic live sets... If you like extreme, Autechre knows how to go deep too.
Yoo nts is deep as hell,also excited for the new album!
didnt think id see Autechre on Ulcerate or vice versa
exai is a beast of an album
saw them in Prague, blown away, the guys play so effortlessly
I thought no death metal album would ever be better than Vermis, then Shrines Of Paralysis was released.
Jennifer Thompson everything is fire was better. Maybe even Destroyers of All
FutileExistence all are esenssial my body!!!
But now what's about stare into the death and be still?))
Please Please PLEASE tour the states off of the new record!
Maybe next year :(
this BAND is unbelievable !
Mindblowing.
Can't wait to see these guys again
Holy shit there's only 3 of them? They sound massive considering!
Jaw dropping live act.
True masters of their craft
Well, now this is some seriously awesome performance. Respect!
It's INSANE!!! ☠️☠️
Love Ulcerate!!
One of the best out there. I have I small preference for Blood Incantation because of their darker 'vibe' but Ulcerate are phenomenal.
Peter Moes lol "darker" ulcerate is the pinnacle of bleakness
Sick track. Oh and Woda i Pustka always delivers excellent videos!
aliens
the fitst time i heard this band... i thought, this guys are aliens
Human, very Human
This type of metal is what the kids listen in the star wars universe hahahahahaha
Caótico , profundo , insano e difícil de ouvir
Exprimindo um tipo de sentimento controverso e angustiante , respeitando a evolução do death metal
the kings !
*mighty drums!* 🤘
Ave Ulcerate, Avvesome drummer!!
pure art
Un performance super elegante y caótico 🙀😻
I am a musician and I play in a Death Metal band, so I know how to play but don't understand how the hell they remember every riff and transition so accurately.
a shitton of practicing, besides that they are intelligent guys.
Focus
David Gonzalez I see what you did there
elite music.
Ojalá y un día de estos vengan a México
what an amazing performance

Ulcerate is in my opinion the best band in this world...
They are the theme music to the Apocalypse 🤘
Epic. Fuck, I wish I'll get to see you live.
love love this.
Portal though takes the cake
Nah Imperious weak alone is More Frightening and Extreme than anything made by Portal
You are the best!!!!!!
My bald brothers...
That, was fucking badass!
Is it me, or does this sound like the first track off of Obscura by Gorguts for a little bit in the beginning?
Now that you say it... yeah
Ależ otchłań!
Saw them live in Croatia. They kicked so much ass!
Need a karaoke version.
Ulcerate rules!!! Dead Congregation t-shirt, yeah!!!
Whoa whoa, hold on a second. This band has ONE fucking guitarist?!?!
Any chance that the entire show will be posted?
Como los amo la putisima madre. Ojalá los músicos Argentinos tuvieran el coraje de ustedes.
Never. Ni los músicos, ni los políticos, ni el futbol. Nada.
Do we have access to the full show?
Do they play a pre-recorded guitar track live? Or is it just Michael played in stereo? I don't know shit about live performances (Other than enjoying them in the crowd).
He loops them live using a pedal according to Jamie on the NZ drumming podcast
@@lewisthorntondre5265 Interestinggg. Thanks! I'm going to look into that podcast too.
When a band reach Saitama level of metal
That guitarist is a human brontasaurus!
GORGUTS and ULCERATE should tour together
Gods \m/ #Ulcerate #Ulcerateforever \m/
shelton nergal gods are jelous
Yeeesss !!!
great video
The lizard men
Oh ? there is 2 guitars on stage now in ulcerate ?
Allobrogia [Official] guitar and bass as always.
Yes, but we can listening 2 guitars on stage, sound records in studio (post production).
the second guitar is a backing track i believe
I think no =)
But it's not a shame, many bands make post production for a good quality sound on live vidéo.
It's just weird to hear 2 guitars and see only one playing :)
No, it's a guitar effect Michael Hoggard use in which he plays the guitar riff and then use the effect to play the other riff. (I read it from an interview).
fuck. yes.
Great mix, but where is bass
норм качает
arkaik sondaj metal.
Live in Karaköy diye okudum :(
This band makes so many amazing riffs. The ambiance is crazy and scary. I wish they had a more technical and better singer. Monotone and not enough contrasts.
That The point you Grabhead!!
I'm enjoying him the most on their latest record. He's a bit more varied & maybe the delay helps too.
@@EverythingisFire feels less forced and more pain inducing!!!...Hits the emotions
sic
Either They're Canadian or They're really into later gorguts. They sound good though
They're from NZ so probably Gorguts fans then :D
Delicious filth...
Why are they bald?
Omg Vordrim you can't just ask someone why they are bald
Barrier huggers are weird.
Anybody else hears a lot of Hate Eternal on Ulcerate?
adejal acr maybe in the vocals and speed but ulcerate is way more complex and extremely brutal!!!
there was some hate eternal influence definitely on their first full length in the guitar riffs here and there.
I'm pretty sure they had a Hate Eternal cover in their regular set list around the first demo era... I remember James introducing the song with "Yeah, this one's a bit difficult" or something similar. I also hear Hate Eternal in another band Michael Hoggard and Jamie St Merat were in around the same time - Misadventures In Self-Surgery - ua-cam.com/video/2-AWDVAOYi4/v-deo.html - there's a link in the description of that vid to download five tracks as well... the vocalist (and poster of the video) is Ben Read, who was Ulcerate's vocalist on Of Fracture and Failure

Say what you want but i find this utterly comical. Idk. why, but it just cracks me up.
I truly do not see anything that can be considered funny about this.
Ridley On Steroids maybe is the super opressive,relentless and utterly complex sound that laugh of how great it is unbelievable!!!
it must be the neck
Ridley On Steroids you suck at life.
I understand that the harsh, abrasive sound isnt for everyone, but you cant help but appreciate the sheer proficiency that this demands, not to mention the massive amount of complexity, depth, and music theory there is behind once you really analyze the music on a core level
23 Dislike? Seriously?
This is Ulcerate, not LGBTI Community Guys... i mean, Girls... Or whatever you are!
Ranndy Garcia no need to call anyone girls if you look like one
@@Moth-ManRemasters bearded girls? Keep you fantasies for yourself man.
Jeez
wasted talent
Well this is what these guys find meaningful and put their heart and soul into and they wouldn’t care if you don’t like it, this music isn’t for everyone
Why because it challenges your MIND!??...Pussy
You just don't get it.
Its not for everyone.
I love the twisted immolation influence.
They do pull off what they are trying to accomplish and only slightly touches on the abstract believe it or not.
