  • Here's my instrumental guitar cover of "The Abysmal Eye" by Meshuggah! Go to 2:58 for the solo.
    I also did a little one-take cover on my second channel: • Meshuggah - The Abysma...

    I had a feeling we were going to get a new Meshuggah song on Friday, and we did! Once it came out, I started working on a cover and here we are.
    I really like what Meshuggah is doing right now, this song is so cool! I love how a lot of the time, riffs don't get truncated by the end of a hypermeasure. For example: when the cymbals crash and the ambient guitars come in at the intro, the riff keeps going. A similar thing happens after the chorus, where the second verse "starts," but it's still the intro/chorus riff. Idk, I just really like how Meshuggah is able to still keep their formula fresh after all these years. I'm incredibly stoked for the new album.
    Quick note about some production stuff:
    I used GGD Invasion for the drums, but I layered it with two snares and a kick from SSD. I really like how massive I was able to make the snare sound.
    I used Archetype: Gojira for the rhythm guitars, 3rd amp, 1st cab, no overdrive pedal. Took out some low mids after the plugin with an EQ rather than using an overdrive.
    I used some of the fuzz pedals in Logic to get my bass tone. The bass was tuned to F standard, octave below the guitars, so it was very muddy. In the mix I think it sounds great though!

    First of all, to me you emit such a positive feel good vibe I had to smile for the whole video, thank you for that! Absolutely stellar performance and it all sounds so nice together. Your guitar also sparked my interest. Is that a Ibanez RG8? And if so, are those the stock pickups? I heard the stock pickups are only mediocre. I am playing with the thought to buy one for months now. Keep up your attitude and awesome work!

    • @KadeKalka

      Yeah, it's an Ibanez RG8 with stock pickups. I don't think the pickups are amazing, but I think they work pretty well for Meshuggah/djent stuff. Other than the pickups, I really like the guitar tho!

  • @brodieknight772

    Fantastic. Hitting the notes that perfectly on beat seems really difficult. Do you have any synths going here, or is it just the guitar layers plus drum and bass?

    • @KadeKalka

Also tried the Tosin one, i think you'd do that more justice than me since you're a lot more technically proficient. Definitely feels like it'd be good for slaps and taps and what not.
