      Michael Mather I’d argue that as far as math rock inspired techy stuff Viraemia is one of the better bands out there, despite having very little published material. There’s plenty of math rock inspired metal music that is just straight trash (the biggest offender being IWABO) but bands like Viraemia, Braindrill, Origin, and Rings of Saturn that manage to ride the line between utter noise and intelligible song structure

    Very well done man. I mean, one thing is what the guy from Viraemia created, but reproducing it? That a whole new level of challenge!

      No man, I really mean it. It's really a whole new level of difficulty to reproduce stuff this complex. I know because I was kinda of a musician in a time in my life.

    Dunno about the tuning, but Scott Plummer from Viraemia did write this for a six-strings, so you can play this song on a six-strings. You can find the tabs online

    I remember watching this years ago and thinking a 7 string was massive - now I play 7's and this just looks normal! Still an insane cover!

    But he is right. To be fair, he didn't said this wasn't art, he said that art is not made of technique alone. It sounds amazing and I really dig it, but many songs from other bands are less technically impressive and they are still amazingly good

    I guess the only thing left for me to do now is take the elevator to the roof, light my Bass on fire and toss it over the edge to the street below; and watch the trucks run over it....again!, and again!!, and again!!! You put in some hours dude! You are totally worthy of your ability...I salute you!
