This is the vinyl mastering! The regular version is available for streaming on bandcamp & ULR's youtube channel. Cheers! Instrumental version coming end of 2022.
Technical Death Metal at it's finest. Best album of the year, and the best of this decade so far as far as I am concerned. Masterful, beautiful, and compelling.
Thanks, it sure sounds different. I would absolutely buy a Full Dynamic Range digital version in an instant. Also the instrumental version, for sure!
@@norbertremsei Same!
👽
Outstanding, time will show this as it is, a masterpiece.
Am I the only one that absolutely LOVES this artwork? I just want this to be my main living room piece.
Compliments this album like fuel makes the fire go BOOM 💥
Absolutely👁️👄👁️
I'm just going to imagine that everyone in the band improvised their parts at the same time and recorded the entire album in one take and called it a day.
No me imagino que se pueda hacer de otra forma, es simplemente insano.
no shit,thats how i love to write my stuff.but other than here it just sounds like shit
that album is one of the best in the genre and an absolute masterpiece.
You should check out verified entity.
Their just insanely talented like these guy!
@@BirdOfHermes8381 in-case he actually looks up Verified Entity
it's Vitrified Entity LMFAO no shade tho, who tf ever uses the word vitrified
good shit tho
it's even better than the first one of them
The guitar work on this album is absolutely insane.
Ya y el bajo esta pintao
real jajajjsa. Forest es de mis bajistas favoritos y es innegable su habilidad y creatividad
@@danteslaughter1523 jajajajajajj csm los wnes wenos!
One of the best albums I've listened to in my life. Top 10.
Me too. First fragment is one of the best opens by last 10 years for me
Still come back here occasionally... such an awesome album, the music, the vibe, the art, everything...
When I think of arpeggio and speed metal sounding shred, Pantheum is always what I hear since this album released. The trading leads immediately reminded me of Cacophony and you guys are one of the few modern bands to build off that sound in a technical, yet still catchy way. This album just get's me stoked on guitar, music in general but it makes me want to play!
Yes, i got jason beker vibes from the first single. Really love this sound
This album makes me want to quit guitar
@@duschendestroyer this album inspired me to build a fretless guitar (not bass, but I will also buy a fretless bass) to try to cover First Fragment on only to get frustrated and quit guitar as well
I just got the LP today as my nephew and niece's present and it is just great, a Masterpiece!
WOW, this is amazing, I've never heard something like this before and I want much more. This album is flawless and one of my favorites, this band deserves more recognition.
6:31 this breakdown is so fantastic
Still listening to this album nonstop, probably the greatest metal album made to date in my humble opinion
wow
The whole album's a gigantic masterpiece, but I think that In'El is really the track that staay stuck in me the most. Each time I listen to it, my brain basically can't process normaly anymore the more the song goes. It's absolutly mesmerizing.
Wow so this is what the Vinyls I bought sound like (no vinyl player lol)! How is the instrumental version coming along? I heard about it like 6 months ago. Cheers guys! I hope you come to Sweden sometime.
so many bands can make a wall of noise. But this is truly outstanding above all, Ive listened to the album about 3 times now, and each time its just sinking in more and more how special this work is. What a monument!!
The Guitar work is amazing and so unique, i would absolutely love a instrumental version of this album
I literally cant stop listening to this album, its peak music. So catchy and insanely technical
A tab book for us pathetic mortals, please 🙏
This album made me rethink guitar. I'm not a guitarist, it just hit me different. Never heard anything like this before. I've heard my fair share of tech death, this is just something else.
100/10 Masterpiece.
Superb musicianship! I have a feeling that I'll binge this album many times in the future
one of the best albums of all time for me. pls continue with this style
I love this Album/CD! First Fragment is definitely one of my all-new favorite Death/Avante-Garde/Atmospheric metal bands. Very cool. Highly Recommended.
Can’t wait for the Instrumental version….not that it’s not great with vocals
A remaster with more stuff?
YES PLEASE
Not remastered. This is just what's on the vinyl version of the album but it wasn't on youtube so I uploaded it.
@@FirstFragmentQC Either or. Thank you
My favorite album.
Love it so much and can't wait for the next one.
Le plus bel album et le plus bel artwork.
Masterpiece. First Fragment est seul dans sa ligue! Et ils démolissent tout en show!
What words are there for such a masterpiece?
UGH UGH UGH RRRR
good stuff! i like it a lot thanks for what you are doing all of you!
oh my god ... amazing, never stop making music!
It is out of question that the music is awesome, but I really want to praise the artwork at this point. As a fellow musician and gamer, it reminds me of the Oolacile DLC of Dark Souls. :D
A masterpiece, no less. Bach would be proud
One way or another - the album is outstanding, amazing, awesome, monumental. It's glorious. Eternally 😁
Masterpiece.
Masterpiece of a record. Can’t wait to see em live
Sounds really great, specially with headphones. Nice work!
Time for a kit that makes this album pound your chest.
denueo te pillé
Я просто в восторге от этой группы
Я тоже... Очень хотел бы купить их диск, пластинку, или же кассету)
very unique style in the genre, amazing album. i would love to hear a instrumental version of this.
ua-cam.com/video/11PjcfwN72M/v-deo.html
an album worth gold! excellent work!
i liked this flamenco style in the begining
What about at the end?
@@theolarcher587 all this album is absolutelly amazing a masterpiece
Chef-d'oeuvre total!
this is such a masterpiece, this has been on repeat since i discovered it last week. hope i can see you guys play it live sometime in wisconsin here.
eclectic, technical, fast af yet catchy and groovy and still a wonderfully cohesive album.
one of the best albums ive ever heard great job guys. U killed it! 🤘
The most Magnificent Album and Musicians ever. Congrats FF, and cheers from Romania. We love ya guys !!
Obra maestra!❤️
Masterpiece!!! Bravissimo!!!
Magnificent!
Absolutely masterpiece
recently i have enjoyed listening to this music with my ears
Perfection
my most listened to album in a long time. pretty good music i would say
Absolute wizardry. 🔥🧙♂️
had to stop everything I did to fully listen to this. strong vinyl my guys. this is tight.
i wish everyone could enjoy this album as i do, one of the best things in life.
I'm the #1000 like! 🤘🤘🤘 These guys are masters of the craft!
masterpiece! I look forward to the instrumental version too
Holy shit this is the best album Ive heard in years
Love the entry just like Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Great musicians, will get this on vinyl 👍
We need the instrumental version ! Please !❤️
A masterpiece!!
Vinyl always sounds better. Well as long as you have a decent Preamp/turntable and speakers.
A milestone in the tech death genre. Hell, the new "power tech" genre too
Increíble álbum!
This bass is so good
okay... this is sick!
wow 😮
Eu tava ouvindo agora
🐵
Funny, this was on YT next suggestion as i blindly followed a Dominic LaPointe rabbit hole. Really dig. Reminds me of Gorod and the like
GOATS!
This album is among my favorite tech death. (Even thought there are clearly other musical genres within this bands sound)
If it's the groove you're into... Gorod have 2 albums (Leading Vision) (Process of a new Decline) that will blow your socks off. Still the absolute pinnacle of the genre over 15 years later imo.
@@Sk-tb7ktI love both of those albums but let's be real, First Fragment is much crazier than Gorod.
This album is peak techdeath
Les musiciens sont Tellement géniaux...
Forest est celui qui m'a motivé à apprendre la 6 cordes fretless, merci 🙏
Le chanteur n'aurai pas été dans Spawn of possession ?
Spawn Of Possession est un groupe Suédois, nous sommes Québécois : )
@@PhilTougas oups 😅
La voix est pourtant très ressemblante .
Bonne continuation 👍
Obra maestra!
This slaps
is this the best metal album ever?
🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
❤ 10/10
I liked Dasein quite a lot, but it didn't scratch the itch that some other bands were. This, though...fuck, where were you hiding this? This is absolutely incredible.
When you see "fretless lead bass" listed in the album credits, you know you're in for a treat.
p.s. would love to see a drum playthrough of the title track Gloire Éternelle
🔥🔥🔥🔥🇵🇹
31:43 what a nice section, it reminds me of Black Star intro
Toking salvia to this is a challenge,but it must be done...
how was it>?!
🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
That art makes me wanna go play Elden Ring again.
What is the difference between this and the regular version?
Snare sounds better & overall sound is a bit quieter but overall a bit less squashed. Both done by the same engineer but for different purposes & formats. This album has 4 different masterings.
@@FirstFragmentQC sounds great!
@@FirstFragmentQCdo any of the 4 versions sound vastly different from the others? If so, do you plan on releasing all 4 here on UA-cam?
@@FirstFragmentQC needs a 5th mastering... without vocals! If enough people ask, maybe it'll happen haha.
Do I hear the drum kit from Fear Inoculum?
I wanna see these guys with equipoise!
круто
Please sell the vinyl mastering as flac on Bandcamp as well. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Fucking insane guys
I wouldn't have released this album being you. Humanity doesn't deserve that level of enjoyment and perfection.
Mr.Tougas I know that you have many side projects (and I love everyone) but where the fuck is instrumental version of this album?
Still to this day, 1:40 is just so f'ing HOT!
and still amazed the vocalist didn't damage his voice after recording the vocal chord destroying part at 1:06:40.. I imagine he couldn't speak normally for a while after that recording session.
that's the guitarist doing vocals!
@@nachfullbarertrank5230 Yes well, it's myself while Dave's vocals are layered under mine. It's usually the opposite as I usually only do backing vocals but this part needed a bit of anger : )
@@PhilTougas ah, okay. yeah the higher screams fit that part really well :D
God almighty i do love me some actual good tech death
COME TO 🇧🇷
por acaso você viu meu primo? ele é mais ou menos assim👉🐵
杰作
comment 1h10 peux sembler aussi court
I know I would love to throw some money at y'all for a lossless copy of this. Bandcamp maybe?
