you, Jeff Loomis, and Ola Englund got me into Schecters man. I still wanna pick up a KM6 or 7 in ToxicSmoke Green but I haven't earned the right to play such an awesome guitar yet
I'm really sorry for your loss, Keith. I hope you find solace in those trying times. I'm a strong believer that what lies beyond this human experience is far better than what we have around here. I really think he is in a better place now. Your album is a masterpiece, man. Never give up on music! Your stuff helped me immensely during a hard time in my life. Your talent is a gift to the world. Stay strong, king.
@@luisochoa2163 You and me both. That demo kicks major ass and partly nudged me to buy a set of Black Winter pickups. Couldn't be happier with that choice \m/
Just learned about the death of a very close friend, and knowing the circumstances of this album I came here right back. The Black winter song hits pretty different now. Thanks for putting this album out there
Awesome so far! Your take on dissonance and openness, now that it has become so much more vogue in extreme metal, is especially refreshing when paired with tight and punchy rhythms that are a crucial part of your sound. Well done
I've been hoping and waiting for years that the Black Winter demo would become a full release song, I even asked Keith about it after an Alluvial concert a few years ago. I am beyond happy and ecstatic that it finally happened \m/
Sick little Spice Dealer-ish Merrowism at 7:02. Love that shit. The yell at 21:55 sounds so much like Kano from MK1's "YEAH!" when he wins, it's insane. My nostalgia sense kicked in hardcore as soon as I heard that.
I never thought that the influences of my beloved black metal would go so far that the next album of one of the darlings in modern metal would be influenced by this genre. This is a great release, keep it up.
Been blasting this since it’s release!!!!! I feel like you can hear the influence of Morbid Angel on this EP! Its absolutely fucking brutal and I love it!!
dude that first track i was thinking "man if this had vocals itd be up there w/ some of my fav realeases for the year.." then BOOM!! good shit Keith Merrow
Good album! Different than the other ones without compromising the Merrow sound. Love the vocals are really good! And Krimh is one of the best of this era. Great combination, Keith and Krimh. I'll love to see this live once! I ordered the LP can't wait.
Awesome job! Great work as always! Also loving my KM III Artist Schecter so far what an amazing guitar...finally had an opportunity to buy one and try it out.
This is fucking brutal. Everything about this is exactly the kind of shit that I'm into at the moment. The only negative thing I can think of is that it's not longer.
Totally stumbled upon this 🤷🏻♂️This might now be my favorite new material 👌Then 🤷🏻♂️ I noted Krimh is doing drums 🙄 Definitely definitely know it's a good project 🤘 Friggin awesome...
Me and my guitarist from my last band I played with use to play spice dealer as a warm up. been a fan ever since. Killing it brotha! Just makes me itch to play drums again someday when the time is right. Your riffs never fail
yo! thank you for giving us the black winter pickup song.... Can we request a full forza overdrive 6 string song lolol.. that first jam for the forza ripped so hard
You guys are all awesome and I love you. I hope you enjoy this ep!

Thank you!
@@55Ignis Just get one man! It's worth the buy I've owned 4 xD, you always deserve a new guitar
Amazing album Keith!! Thank you for delighting us with your musical masterpieces, you rock man!!
Keith giving us the goods once again! We love you too, and YOU are the awesome one!
I seriously think you and Jamie Saint Merat should collaborate. This def has some Ulcerate vibes.

Some of the sickest, most interesting, and most compelling extreme metal I've ever heard
Finally!! Mumbles!! Been waiting for that one since the Hybrids came out!! Killer song with the beefy riffs!
Sorry for your loss. Couldn't imagine how it must feel loosing a loved one. Great album.......
You really know how to reach into a riff and discover the absolute atmosphere that each note presents, love this already
This is hitting me hard. Today would be my best friend's birthday and so I'm blasting this out for him and all the rest I've lost along the way!
This album was released on my little brother's birthday, in honor of him. RIP Brian Merrow (1986-2022)
Keith is a natural 7 string player /composer
Gravitational = Black winter pickups demo = simply Brutal!
Really amazing album 😈
Thanks Keith Merrow 🙌
I thought Gravitational sounded familiar. That explains it!
I would always go back to the demo just to hear the song when i heard the beginning i jumped with JOY
@@luisochoa2163 You and me both. That demo kicks major ass and partly nudged me to buy a set of Black Winter pickups. Couldn't be happier with that choice \m/
I bought the BW cause of that too
So dark. I wish I could put into words but this hits me in a very profound way.
Amazing.
Incredible songwriting as always and the best mix you've ever pulled off. And you can just feel how much from the heart this is.
Dude, thanks so much!

So dark, so many layers, brilliant riffing, every time I hear it some new feeling comes out. Hope for many more albums!
The pinnacle of mood music. It's like a horror movie for your your ears....in the best way imaginable.
Ridiculously accurate
Brutal stuff. Got it day one and played it as loud as I could for everyone to hear. Respect.
You're a special dude Keith. No one sees the possibilities like you do. Your playing is so unmistakable fucking sick!
Serious Gorguts / Ulcerate vibes here. Really tight and dense writing, and the mix is fantastic!
It felt like listening the death metal version of Deathspell Omega. Love it 🤘🏻🔥
I've been hoping and waiting for years that the Black Winter demo would become a full release song, I even asked Keith about it after an Alluvial concert a few years ago. I am beyond happy and ecstatic that it finally happened \m/
I am beyond excited myself. I used to watch that demo all the time just because I loved the song so much.
@@christopherward4671 Same here man, I learned it on guitar and it's been my most played song
The second half of Tumbleweed has such strong Morbid Angel vibes in the best possible way. Fucking love it!
This is really good stuff mate, Cheers!!!!
🤘🏾😈🍻💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sick little Spice Dealer-ish Merrowism at 7:02. Love that shit.

Mindblowing album !!! I feel like it got a lot of Alluvial x Nightmarer vibes and I love it! Thank you for sharing your art !
This comment reads like a prophecy in 2023.
Those heavy chugs right from the word go got me hooked till the last.
Sounds pretty sick! Great work, as usual!
I never thought that the influences of my beloved black metal would go so far that the next album of one of the darlings in modern metal would be influenced by this genre.
This is a great release, keep it up.
Each song is its own vibe. Interesting chord choices. Solid.
Masterpiece... super kudos Mr. Merrow...
MAGNUM tone, monster riffs. total kingpin of a release. 🦴🩸🤘
Oh how I love your taste for dissonance, absolutely delightful!
The whole album shivers. Mumbles and Gravitational sends a wraith down my spine
Yo! I just picked up your Schecter KM-7 MK-III 7 string, and I absolutely love this guitar! 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
Been blasting this since it’s release!!!!! I feel like you can hear the influence of Morbid Angel on this EP! Its absolutely fucking brutal and I love it!!
Yeah this rules
MUMBLES is from the Km7 Hybrid video!
Slaps hard. Pounded a couple white ales blasting this EP in the laundromat parking lot. I like it.
Reminds me of the dissonance of deathspell omega and blackwater park. Love the new taste bro!!!
You just tore UA-cam up with this release! You rock hard my guy
Thanks for the hard work, always nice to have something new to listen too.
This is so good, Keith! Supreme craftsmanship and talent.
🔥🔥🔥🆘🆘🔥🔥🔥
THE MASTER TONE IS BACK

Getting some really cool Morbid Angel vibes from some of this. ROCKIN
Oh yeah 🤗
Love your composing-skills 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Keith Merrow is a total riff god/monster horrifying riff god vibe generator.
That’s really a killer record. Just bought a copy on iTunes and listened to it on repeat several times. Made my day 🤘
New album kills Keith!!! I absolutely love it!!!!
Awesome job! Great work as always! Also loving my KM III Artist Schecter so far what an amazing guitar...finally had an opportunity to buy one and try it out.
Damn! What a fucking awesome atmosphere! Dude, you always bring something new to the game, it's inspiring. 🤘
BRO this fucks HARD! also where's nick nocturnal's comment lol
Great album! It sounds HUGE!
This is fucking brutal. Everything about this is exactly the kind of shit that I'm into at the moment. The only negative thing I can think of is that it's not longer.
Crushing EP! Yet another amazing album from Merrow et al!
Everything he does is fucking gold
Love the atmosphere. Your songs are always atmosphere first, man. Great job.
Insane!!! I was waiting for long time for your music bro! I like the black and death metal cobination! Thank You!!!
This is so good!! Great work my man.
Totally stumbled upon this 🤷🏻♂️This might now be my favorite new material 👌Then 🤷🏻♂️ I noted Krimh is doing drums 🙄 Definitely definitely know it's a good project 🤘 Friggin awesome...
I remember hearing the Mumbles riffs and wishing like hell that it would be in a song. Killer, as always!
This is awsome,Keith!!
I really enjoy the way you translate darkness
This is a piece of art!! Sick 🔥
Holy Mc'Shizz!! This be some brutal stuff!!
Me and my guitarist from my last band I played with use to play spice dealer as a warm up. been a fan ever since. Killing it brotha! Just makes me itch to play drums again someday when the time is right. Your riffs never fail
That was an absolute blast to listen
Now, I can't even understand what half of the lyrics are saying... but the instrumentation and overall composition is SICK!
mmmm blackened melodic death, my favorite.
been too longgggggg
What a unique sound. Love it all!
Great work Keith. Refreshing to hear our music at this level in this day and time. Is that you playing the leads on Gravitational? Awesome!
I think it’s Gord playing
