We had a beginner and intermediate guitar class offered to us in my high school. At the beginning of each class one student would get to share a song with everyone. I made everyone listen to Dagger and Shadow, also played some Tesseract for my turns in the intermediate class lol
Same, except I was a freshman in college. I'd never heard of them before they were announced as part of Veil of Maya's US tour with Northlane and Structures, who I loved at the time. So I pulled them up on YT and Dagger was the first thing that popped up, and I'd never heard anything like it before and was completely blown away. By the time the tour came around, I knew their entire discography back to front. I still watch the videos I took on my phone from that show to this day. I just wish my Vildhjarta hoodie still fit, I've gained some weight since then 😅
Vildhjarta might be the only band to ever truly succeed Meshuggah by evolving what they started directly, instead of implementing their style in another genre.
I mean, periphery did the same thing, although Vildhjarta is more true to Meshuggah’s style of djent and is more of an extension of their sound as opposed to periphery’s more electronic, jazzy, and futuristic sound 🤔
@@Djent_Djenerator Periphery is essentially metalcore that’s heavily inspired by Meshuggah, Allen Holdsworth and film score. Vildhjarta takes a lot of the same influence as Meshuggah, but it’s rooted in more black metal, doom, drone, and death metal backgrounds.
Nobody succeeds meshuggah you could never be more wrong about anything. Flatearthers and Holocaust deniers are more believable than someone who can say "*blank* has succeeded meshuggah" with a straight face.
For me, it was the Omnislash EP. Shiver and Don't Fail Me Now (Lady Luck) were what got me into Vildhjarta. It was wild when Masstaden dropped, they really sank into their particular style by that time. Traces getting lyrics was weird at first, but hell it was worth it no doubt. Masstaden was a masterpiece. Then Thousands of Evils dropped before they went quiet for some time. Then, finally out of nowhere, not only do they release a sequel to Masstaden, Masstaden Under Vatten, they completely remastered Masstaden and Thousands of Evils. It's not often you see a band so absolutely dedicated to perfecting their own works.
Always great to see people talking about Vildhjarta and spreading their music! However, I certainly recommend checking out all available playthroughs made by the actual band as Baena's video displays some but misses several crucial elements of what makes the original riffs so great. Take Shadow for example, here at 1:27 Baena plays only a descending pattern, but if you look at 1:01 of Bergström's original playthrough he's essentially sweep picking a chord, faster, ascending AND descending. At Baena's 1:49 some additional hits have been left out (see Calle's playthrough from Euroblast having more notes at 4:29) and the high note with the bend is sometimes played on the lowest string for variation in the original playthrough. How important the choice not only of which notes but also what string to play it on is crucial to Vildhjarta's sound, and it is something the band has mentioned as important (I'm glad Baena did show this for toxin though).
I was going to comment the sweeping motion bergström does. The first time I saw bergström playing that part I was surprised that's how you make the guitar sound like that....
@@ricardopieper11that sweeping motion got so many sleepless nights for me when tabbing the song out. I wanted to get as close to what Daniel played. That little lick is very similar to the licks in phobon nika. It sounds completely different when it's clean and only sounds the way it sounds because of the distortion. The shadow tab that is circling around over the years is completely different to what Daniel plays too.
The fact that that bend on Passage noir is almost (if not exactly) equivalent to a hammer on-> pull off is crazy to me. Masstaden under vatten is easily one of the best albums of last year.
Some of these definitely seem more sporadic and random than meshuggah riffs therefore making them more difficult to memorize imo. You nailed it man good stuff
One of the reasons I love Vildhjarta so much is because I have no earthly idea what is going on. I watched this video, I saw the tunings, and I still have no clue. 🫠 Great video!
If that's actually a stock Bias IR im really shocked by how good it sounds lol. Vildhjarta actually use old Line 6 Pod units for their tones so maybe we should not be suprised lol.
@@hannibalbarkas1350 I used the Bogren Downtuned IR (Gonnojira) but the tone I uploaded to the cloud has the closest stock IR I could find to sound like this as possible
The last riff in 'Paaradiso' might possibly be the heaviest Vildhjarta riff of theirs I have ever heard. Next to the middle breakdown section from 'Längstmedån'.
Man i love Vildhjarta, they're hardcore af, nice job on the riffs, they do have a very different technical style to their unique riffs. I believe my favorite song by them is "All These Feelings", such a relentless unforgiving banger.
When the playthrough for Shadow came out years ago, I was soooooo blown away by how bizarre it was composed. Yet very drawn to it. Definitely my favorite riff of the bunch.
That ending breakdown from Nar De Du Alskar is top tier, low tuned as shit and sounds like it's straight out of a glitchy hellscape, this band is legendary to say the absolute least.
That section in Benblast, where it sounds like screaming and tormented souls in hell…it comes right before the riff you showcased here - that’s one of my favorite things to play with the windows down in traffic😂 never gets old
What I love about vildhjarta is that they don't stick to the same clichés as modern djent/metal (Generic Breakdowns, Pitch Shifter abuse, overdramatic clean vocals, etc.), they are way more brutal and atmospheric, just like meshuggah.
This was amazing. Loved the hlb riff video too. Next video idea - tony danza tapdance extravaganza. Complete with the atonal sweeps. Come you can do it. And to challenge yourself, do it on the baritone Jazzmaster lmao
Awesome video dude! However the set tones you created i will say every guitar is different and if you want to achieve a more vildhjarta tone (esp off the newest album) then i would manipulate the eq before the signal hits the amp. Bias fx has a handy 100-3.2k eq, perfect before the amp. You can cut the 200 ,400 and compensate with 800 and a cut on the 1 6 will smooth it out.
That harmonic sound you get when you play the lowest string open on a baritone or 8 string is so exaggerated on the alumniati that's crazy sounding it's like I'm hearing the harmonic more than the note itself. I wonder if it's because of the metal neck.
Hey Andrew ! Could you make a video about bias fx and custom a setup with us please ? Like from bottom to the top ! And give us advices about how to use it great. Cheers fam, great video
Vildhjarta has started a theme which is currently new , even though vildhjarta did it a decade a go, in comming years we shall witness djent thall dominating the scene
En Mork Vit Logn from Thousands of Evils is very high on my list of some of the heaviest Vildhjarta riffs. That groove of the first riff absolutely destroys anything in its path
►Download BIAS FX 2 Here: bit.ly/3M7e6fJ
I'm guessing yes, but if I got a bias spark can I use these patches?
Nice video Andrew. May I ask the string gauge used in this for Esp guitar
?

That was chuckle worthy……….so I chuckled.

This is probably your best video yet. The tones, production and transitions go crazy, especially considering that it's Vildhjarta
One of my favorite riffs from this band has to be from Shadow, that riff is just majestic
There he is
ur still everywhere
Best riff on that album for me is in Deceit at the 4 min 13 sec mark.
Passage Noir and Toxin are told tier 👌🏼
Måsstaden under vatten is a masterpiece 🔥
Passage noir or den helige anden are my favorite ont this album but it's not easy such an amazing album
The end of Eternal Golden Monk is probably my favorite piece of music ever written
BIG agree
Gonna have to agree
But as you know "when you reach perfection...."
Flow like water
im sad lavender haze's breakdown isnt in here but god damn are they masters of their craft
same with heartsmear and vagabond :(
Same dude, I was also sad Traces didn't make the list. The first 40 seconds of that song is heavy as hell.
Sick! The All these feelings riff is still one of the heaviest riffs I have ever heard
När de du finał riff breaks my head, love it
So sick.
One of my favorites is the intro to Nojja
How it goes:
Dun dun dun BLARRP
Dun dun dundundun dun BLARRP BLARRP
You feel me
0:31 my brain was fully geared up to hear a BlueChew or Hims ad after you said that..
😂
All these feelings is my favorite song of theirs. The intro is sick, everything after goes hard, but the outro my god that hits harder then a tank.
The flow and playing here is fucking seamless man, probably my favorite mix of yours yet 🤘🏼
I've been listening to Måsstaden under vatten while working for a while...what a special album. Like, really incredible.
He's looking over at a music sheet and counting with all his might lol. I love it. These guys are my favorite band of all time
Some of these definitely seem more sporadic and random than meshuggah riffs therefore making them more difficult to memorize imo. You nailed it man good stuff
Hell yeah, finally got a heaviest riffs on my favorite band! Sounds awesome!
Yup, i’ll definitely be covering Passage Noir. Love that sound!!! Thanks for sharing
I first heard Vildhjarta with their latest album and they quickly became one of my favorite bands. Great work man.
definitely one my fav vids youve done so far brother
That riff of phantom assassin is one of the absolute sickest
One of the reasons I love Vildhjarta so much is because I have no earthly idea what is going on. I watched this video, I saw the tunings, and I still have no clue. 🫠

The bass drops in this video were like actually insane. Watched this video in my car and yeah.. good shit 👌🏼
Vildhjarta ❤🔥

Sick bro! Looking forward to hlb’s heaviest riffs!
Just their entire discography 🙌
YAY!!!!.... my favorite kind of riffs.
Heavy Vildhjarta ones.
I saw them live 2 weeks ago, it was sick!
Lucky soul
The one sentence to describe all vildhjarta's music is, "This is not a confession, this is more like a betrayal."
That ending breakdown from Nar De Du Alskar is top tier, low tuned as shit and sounds like it's straight out of a glitchy hellscape, this band is legendary to say the absolute least.
thank you for being metalist, its soul healing
The old demo song "as the sky drops dead" had some of the roots of heartsmear and kaos2, just a deadly heavy song
That section in Benblast, where it sounds like screaming and tormented souls in hell…it comes right before the riff you showcased here - that’s one of my favorite things to play with the windows down in traffic😂 never gets old
My reaction when I saw that you posted this: YEAHH FINALLY!!!!
Nar De Du... is so unique. Loved the bit here!
All These Feeling is imo the heaviest most chaotic intro to any song ever
I'm watching this again a year later. Commenting again a year later. Vildhjarta is fuckin absurdly heavy with challenging schizophrenic riffs.
You done did good, chief!
I needed that, AWSOME ! 🎉
WHAT GUITAR WHAT GUITAR WHAT GUITAR WHAT GUITAR PLEASE ITS SO COOL
What I love about vildhjarta is that they don't stick to the same clichés as modern djent/metal (Generic Breakdowns, Pitch Shifter abuse, overdramatic clean vocals, etc.), they are way more brutal and atmospheric, just like meshuggah.

I love that you used the whammy pedaali phrase from Calle's vid =D
You nailed it! Good job 👏👏
All theese feelings probleby the best song ever made
this goes crazy hard
so slick, so fresh
Steeped my tea while listening to this 🤘
THALL
Nuts. Sounded sick.
vildhjarta riffs have resulted in some of the most spastic faces I've ever done
_they _*_c h o r m k y_*
Well done man!
THALL!! 🤘🤘🤘
heaviest vildhjarta riffs
*plays literally every song*
Just melted my brain.
Passage noir is by far my favourite on that entire album.
I like the green sparkly paint job.
This is so sick!
You should consider doing a full on thall side project, outside of Carcosa. You get it. The more thall the better.
INTHALLIGENT VIDEO ANDREW
As a thall society official member I approve this message.
when a band's HEAVIEST riffs are half of their debut release you know they're a cut above
This was amazing. Loved the hlb riff video too. Next video idea - tony danza tapdance extravaganza. Complete with the atonal sweeps. Come you can do it. And to challenge yourself, do it on the baritone Jazzmaster lmao
Vlidhjarta fuckin rules. Complex riffs and grooves all day, babyy!! 🔥
yes sir this the one 🔥🤘🏽

Was it hard because of the timings and rhythms? Great Tonez! Great video!
I’d imagine. Those polyrhythms make the riffs feel random
That harmonic sound you get when you play the lowest string open on a baritone or 8 string is so exaggerated on the alumniati that's crazy sounding it's like I'm hearing the harmonic more than the note itself. I wonder if it's because of the metal neck.

Bro that bend in Shadow is meatier than even Vildhjarta does how in the fuck
Thall Pedaaliii. Also that pink headless eight string is super dope
Hell yes. Have you checked out “Means End”? I think two of Vildjhartas ex members were in it.
thall.
Once you learn that part in Dagger, you can no longer not stank face that riff 🤘
And the man didn't play Deceit! Mad props. Even tho that riff goes hard AF, I would assume it's much easier to play than any of these.
Back in 2010, this is what "dj0nt" meant to me.
THALL indeed. This band is F****** amazing and such a "sit down and play the entire album"
These wild tunings
not that wild, just drop F with the low string tuned differently sometimes
Lavander haze is my favourite so far
Legend
En Mork Vit Logn from Thousands of Evils is very high on my list of some of the heaviest Vildhjarta riffs. That groove of the first riff absolutely destroys anything in its path
Yeah that section needs to be twice as long
@@deathonion404 I could listen to that first section all day
My favorite riffs by vildhjarta are in heartsmear and lavender haze, but they sound so complex...
ahit yea im down to hear some vildjharta
Siiiiiii !!!!! Por fin!!!!
If Dalí played metal, these are the kind of riffs we would get
Some awesome guitars being used here.
Does that metallic green guitar have a Nazgul in the bridge?
running the 10-74 8 string pack by daddario on my stephen carpenter 607b & it melted my face my eyebrows are non existent
