METAL EVOLUTION - A Riff Journey from Black Sabbath to Today's Most EXTREME Metal...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2024
- Black Sabbath and Cannibal Corpse. Master of Puppets and Cuntcrusher. This is the medley you don't need but it's the medley you deserve! In my most ambitious evolution video yet, I attempt to showcase metal from its earliest inception to its most extreme ends. It was very difficult to evolve in both heaviness and timeline simultaneously, although that is approximately what I tried to do - with a preference towards evolving in heaviness, and a touch of making the songs transition well. Where along the metal-o-meter do you fall?

You can really hear the influence that Black Sabbath left on Infant Annihilator
Could've swore I heard the smallest hint of Nickelback in there as well.
I swore there was a pubic hair of ColdPlay sprinkled in there too
the truth is that instead of Cuntcrusher I would have played Crucifilth or The Battle of Yaldaboath (the two first minutes of this one are part of the densest and heaviest things I've ever heard)
@@ethancheyne2286 dare I say there's a smidgens of a young Justin Bieber in there as well 🤔
@@thats_not_glue perhaps a splash of Taylor swift as well?🤔
The forearm veins are a true representation of how metal a song is, great work!
Pretty much what i thought, thanks xD
Feel the burn🤣😅😆😛
@M83 Collective Knuckle Strummer
True true
I love how as time goes on the guitars get more rustic. Pretty soon you’re gonna see a band using straight tree slabs with strings on it and you’ll know it’s gonna be the heaviest shit ever
Holy fuck that's a brilliant fucking idea. Have to go for some heavy wood too. Big old slab of some ironwood, 8 or 9 strings (12 to 92 or something right?), and some bare machine screws bolted into the slab for tuners. Magnets nailed to the body with wires directly soldered to them. No fancy shmancy 'pickups' and shit. We're going for RAW and HEAVY. Vildhjarta, Humanity's Last Breath, and Black Tongue shall weep.
I want to make this.
Igorrr has a guitar like that
As I lovingly glance at my ltd b206sm. Thing is furniture.
Or just a piece of railroad track, Les Paul style.
I think early metal had melody in them. As metal became progressed, it became more percussive and rythmic
i think most of my music falls into " your friends wont listen to this" and ive never heard a better explanation for it in my life
Transition from The Trooper to Master of Puppets was somehow super obvious and super unexpected at the same time. Nicely done.
That transition was perfect
As someone who's mildly obssessed about the new Vildhjarta album, that last category made me smile.
That last and Metal to Core are the badasses heavy shit bro
mah dude
T H A L L
It's true that they needed their own tier. Vildhjarta is next-level
Ikr djent bit passed and i was like "where's Vild/HLB?!". big smile at the end there
Holy shit, what a killer video. This must have taken so long. 💕
Waaay too long 🤣
Putting in that work. Well done 🤘
And ofcourse, the Heaviest song Holy diver in the end. Only one song is below and more heavy. The definition of a Black hole in the metal universe..
*S M O K E O N T H E W A T E R*
Legends speak of this bell bottom djent, but never did I imagine the myths were so true!!!
@@Murf_Workshop It is told that the tuning on SOTW is so low you can't hear the fundamental notes of the guitar. What you actually hear in the track are just the upper harmonics.
I love that you named that section “your friends won’t listen to this” because I actually turned one of my friends from being a Greenday fan boy to a deathcore snob lmao.
Thank you for reminding me that Wait and Bleed was '99. I was fine knowing that I was listening to Slayer, Metallica, etc. as a kid. Or even my dad's Black Sabbath records when I was still single digits, but remembering that Slipknot (which still feels fairly recent) was actually 23 years ago, just makes me feel old. lol. Hard to believe that album came out a year after I became a dad.
Crazy how that first Black Sabbath riff holds up better then some of the later ones. Timeless.
Because they still had a song. Not just a wall of sound and endless sweeps
i do think because there were not a lot of metal bands out there making a metal song these days is a lot harder to get recognition
Lol no honestly that riff sounds like something a local band would play these days
@@charizardmaster13 Simplicity is key, yes it is very basic but you have to consider how heavy it sounded in 1970 lol. If you want something heavier and faster from Sabbath I recommend Symptom Of The Universe (1975). Still heavy as fuck even by todays standards, I consider it the first metal song to have elements of what would become thrash
@@JRSAL5 its not about simplicity. Its about it sounding amateur and badly written but some people arent ready to have thaf conversation because they suck off any old music just because it came out first
It's difficult to linearize metal, because it evolves in multiple branches simultaneously. But you did great.
Yeah no other genre has so many" sub genres " !
Agreed. Also important to note that metal can play anything. But not anything can play metal.
Just like Science
@@jesuscondom15 exactly
I just had to put a dislike, because half of core included has nothing to do with Metal, though I agree that it is a progression towards "extreme". Still I love the way he plays, especially the backing track is better than that of many famous guitar covering YouTubbers. Kudos for nailing it "it is impossible to linearize metal"! Rock on
I genuinely laughed out loud that "Very Swedish" was the upper limit for what your closest friends would allow you to play in the car. It's so true, unless you sneak in some djent with a nice groove.
Dude this was sick. Those Vildhjarta riffs are so nasty
NOOOUSTY
When I introduce my friends to Vildhjarta they mostly say it sounds like ultrasound to them :D
@@AtomWeed They're wrong ultrasound is above 20k and infrasound is the low one
The transition between The Trooper and Master of Puppets was smooth asf
I enjoyed the hell out of that, thanks. And I was 13 when Sabbath changed the world.
It is very obvious that you put a lot of time into this! I specifically really enjoyed the audio mixing. Thank you for a great video
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Your tone on Ace of Spades is just purr beauty. Actually on all songs, but that one stood out.
Including Archspire and putting Vildhjarta on the very end is actually genuis. But I missed the moment (right before THALL) when you turn your guitar to a left-hand guitar and attempt a HUMANITY'S LAST BREATH song :D
'
great video! subbed!!!
That transition from the trooper to master of puppets was flawless 👍
I mentally asked "What about Meshuggah?" when I got to the ' very Swedish' and shortly after said "oh I see why." Such a great video; I can tell you have a lot of passion for metal! Great addition at the end, I laughed and headbanged lmao
10:46 dis one is 🔥
These new Lorna Shore songs are absolutely insane brother! Can’t wait for more. Also kinda sad there was no Signs of the Swarm. ☹️
Hell yeah! Haha, honestly the hardest part of this video was picking the songs, so many to choose from
Glad to see people loving Connors Influence
Djent should honestly be a bigger category. The influence it had on the heavier and more progressive bands of the 2010s and even now into the 2020s is huge. Great vid!
What a well done piece. This would be great for someone wanting to learn more about metal guitar styles for sure!
Wow dude AWESOME !! I'm so impressed by how many riffs you can play (and some are really difficult) ! Love how you achieved to transition between one riff to an other ! Great work thank you !!!
Man, the absolute effort and talent in this video is insane. Great editing and quality as well. Thanks for the wild journey of all these iconic tracks!
Glad you liked it!
Wow, awesome skills man! The drum tracks in the 'None More Heavy' category gave me flashbacks from around 2010 when the Guitar Pro 4 crashed and everything went nuts at once :))
Crazy, I remember listening to all these songs back in the day. But also listened to a lot of Meshuggah. Then Djent started to creep in the scene around 2010-2015 with bands like periphery for example that feed off the old Meshuggah style. It sounds like today rock/ metal is becoming more and more influenced by that rhythmically complex and deep heavy rythm. Makes for awesome sounds.
Great content! Lots of nostalgia and pure energy and hype of the new stuff. keep up the good work dude!
Oh dude the vildhjarta hit me right in the sweet spot. Thank you for that ❤
It's amazing, really. I spend a good portion of my time listening to as much new music as I can get my hands on (and I play clone hero a lot, with all the random stuff you get in there), and yet I've never heard of Vildhjarta. I looked it up immediately and am glad, this is good stuff.
Nice! They are one of the bands that when I first heard, I thought... wow, this is really something new and different.
@@ThomasHogue You should check out Obscura by Gorguts or Triptych by Dischordia. mindblowing
thank you for including behemoth. they have a wonderful evolution as a band on their own too
Agreed. My favourite record of theirs is Evangelion
I appreciate the attention to detail with the tone of each song! Great work
Awesome skills on display and a tastefully chosen list. Keep it up!
Amazing, dude! You're very talented.
Had to revisit this, to thank you for completely putting me onto monuments, and helping me vastly expand my music taste
Very awesome to hear, glad you enjoyed!
Incredible editing, Thomas! Love the middle progress bar.
Dude that was really well put together and masterfully played. Awesome
Nicely curated, you got me with the archspire and vildjharta, 2 of my literal favorites. I reckon tech death + thall is the future of metal
At the beginning of the Slaughter to Prevail part I was like, "Is this Solefald with the random folk dancy tune?".
Awesome work, man!
Sweet, sweet metal. Thank you for the playlist refreshment!
This video definitely got my sub! Thanks for sharing this wonderful ride through evolution and history! Hella great playing too!! 😀
Thank you!
with as many metal channels as i follow idk how it took so long for yours to pop up on my feed, but im glad i clicked on it. love your videos man, keep up the good work!
Great to hear, thank you!
Nice! most of these kind of videos always show metal until the 2000's ending with Djent, that's ignoring the last 15-20 years of sound development.
The inclusion of Rainbow's magnum opus made me so happy. Thank you for this wonderful video!
I love your content! This is awesome!
Meshuggah is so unique among all these bands, this is one of the reasons I love their songs…
*I love some Sabbath!!!!!! Right from the start, I was let hooked! 😈 Love the video and Infant Annhilator…. sick!*
The band that started it all!
Slaying it as always my man. Loving it. ❤️
What an incredible player. Amazing job! Brought me back to learning in high school around 2000
I think Very Swedish is where I start to fall off a bit. Anything past that feels like a bit much for me, admittedly, even as someone who's into noise music.
I’d say the more “extreme” permutations of metal you could get into, if speed and chaos aren’t you gig, would be things like Godflesh’s Streetcleaner or slower, textural things such as drone metal or atmospheric sludge metal. Personally wished this video didn’t boil extremity down to BPM, as I think that gives a false impression. Also, as another noise fan, I wanna recommend Fatale by Pedestrian Deposit I really like it :)
What I've found working for me personally is some of the modern heavy stuff that is also melodic or sounds original in one way or another. I'll provide a few examples that are pretty different from each other:
Trivium - The Sin and the Sentence
Insomnium - Valediction
Rivers of Nihil - The Void From Which No Sound Escapes
Fit For An Autopsy - Far From Heaven
No idea if any of this could be to your taste, but try them out if interested
Agreed. I love me some heavy crunchy metal. That said some of it is rather talentless bashing on instruments and screaming. Music needs a touch of melody and vocals
@@bl00dy_c4p3 Oh, don't worry, I already know of and enjoy Godflesh and drone metal. Doom metal is one of my favourite subgenres, along with black metal.
@@muro4796 Thanks for the recommendations! I think if I listen to that stuff I'll get a taste for heavy music that's a bit further on the scale.
I am so listening to this on loop! I am between Gateway to Metal and Very Metal! :-D
That's what I like to hear 😁
Very sick and great video! Was proud to know all bands from last tiers :)
Awesome video and song selection. It was like a retrospective of my teenage years :)
Holy hell Archspire top of the Everest, the canadian boys are so brutal, please do more covers from Archspire.
The first time I heard drone corpse aviator I knew death metal had evolved 🤯. I’ve got another archspire feature in my death metal then vs. now video
@@ThomasHogue I see your brutal job and you are in the same Stiles like Dean and Tobi they are a perfect duo Jared Oli and Spencer in the kitchen make the nuclear blasts.
My first thought when I saw this video, Archspire must be at the top 😀
Great job Thomas! Generally, the progress bar shows gradual guitar displacement by drums as a main instrument.
I love how your perpetual derp face, it's genuinely amazing
You are most impressive sir! Thanx for the videos🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Amazing content man! Damn there was heavy stuff coming out in the nineties , great video
Thanks! Yeah until I made this I never thought about how quickly the extreme metal genres emerged in the 90s. Hammer Smashed Face only 2 years after Judas Priest's Painkiller
@@ThomasHogue Reign in Blood was only 3 years after Piece of Mind and Scream Bloody Gore was only 1 year after Reign in Blood, lol
In my opinion Death really set the bar and got tech death rolling.
@@ThomasHogue you should check out Atheists, Piece of Time. Crazy technical and in ‘89 no less.
I still don't understand why you have so few subscribers... The videos are just super!
As soon as the blastbeats kick in with some crazy fast foot patterns I just have to smile every time.
Wow what an effort. Amazingly done.
I love the choice of the songs, I definitely prefer the heavier side of metal, so the last 4 I was progressively going like "mmm, yeah this is my stuff".
I love this video, it also shows my gradual apreciation of the heaviness in metal.
Never played an instrument
Listen to 6 hours of metal minimum
( I’m your age)
And I’m still finding bands to look into
Metal is the only genre that hasn’t peeked🙏🏻🤌🏻🤘🏻
Well...Everything was pure fire! Great work!
Great work!! thumbs up for audio and video quality too !!
Props for using one of Meshuggah's lesser known songs.
I like how in the olde days one did not have to chose between heavy and melodic. Also: Is 800 notes per minute 'none more heavy' or is it Crowbar?
My pfp is a Shadow of Intent album. Check em out.
@@Tonjit41 good one too
i’ve got nothing against any of these bands or modern metal as a whole, but a model t being pushed by a gnarly fuzz is more heavy than most of these combined
@@Tonjit41 kick ass band, love me some metal and some halo 😂
You want heavy + melody? Check out melodic death metal or metal core. I've been listening to a lot of bleed from within lately. I like everything in their uprising album and earlier because of how groovy it was
Content keeps getting better man! Keep it up 💯
Probably the best video of its kind on UA-cam, great job.
Magnificent. My favorite genre was your friends won't listen to this. Subbed.
Same dude.
Kind sir casually playing infant annihilator and archspire is illegal.
Serious chops in this. Great vid
Esto es brutal bro💪 aguante el Metal🎸
Daaaaammnnn you included fucking suffocation man, that albums is full of incredible riffs
Don't forget kids, stay tech.
Great riff evolution demonstration! Thanks!
I love how when we hit None More Heavy you can see he finally breaks a sweat because the songs are genuinely difficult for even a highly skilled guitarist to play.
Gotta love the fret wrap in standard tuning, Happy New Year. 🎉🎇😂🤘
Happy new year!!
N.I.B rockea tan duro como cualquier riff moderno
Great metal music riffs history lesson! Thanks
Great work man. Cheers 🍻
Great video man... Another genre could have been technical death metal from 90's and 2000, like Necrophagist, Obscura, and also progressive metal like Dream theater and progressive death metal like The faceless, Born of Osiris...
man im sad Opeth/bloodbath weren't in the Swedish part Mikael is incredible :(
and Vildhjarta or HLB for Djent, Buster is revolutionary for djent
sick list though, a few i hadn't heard of from the 90s that sound amazing!
WAIT THE THALL SECTION THOUGH!!
GHOOOST OOOF, PERDITIOOOONNN 🤙🤘
Dude, the way you format your videos are insane. This is so good, "your friends won't listen to this"🤣 it's so true
Awesome medly!
Amazing stuff mate, always blown away by your videos and some absolute bangers throughout.
I wonder if you're in any kind of gnarly pain after playing some of these riffs but you look pretty relaxed! Maybe a few moments here and there being the exception. How long does it take for you to recover if you were to play some of the latter songs like Archspire for a few hours? Again, brilliant video I loved it 🤘
Thanks man, glad you are enjoying! Archspire, Cuntcrusher, and Demolisher were all pretty challenging ha. I notice a cumulative effect - after a few days in a row, it's definitely time to take some time off
I think I could make an argument that normal people would be more willing to listen to Cannibal Corpse, especially HSF, than old Behemoth.
Absolutely awesome video dude! 🥷
Awesome vid dude!! 👌
yeah from classic rock to absoloutly fucking nightmare music !
Cool video and great playing but, I think Dime plays CFH a little different than the way you played.
Perhaps, I did see a lot of tabs staying in the open position but I found that less natural :)
Awesome transitions, I like it
Awesome video!
hit me right in the feels with wait and bleed. 7th grade me approves. as does 34 year old me.
wait till metal heads find out about noisecore
Really enjoyed this! You have a new subscriber thanks!
Nice mate! I love how you played all the most epic songs in metal since its birth. Subbed
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
