Ruination is my favorite album from them, I love all their albums but Ruination is just something else. Perfectly orchestrated from front to back. Looking forward to their new album in 2024

I wish every bass was this prominent in the mix.

This band has had one of the best glow ups, they went from a "simple" deathcore-ish band to a tech death metal band with such dynamics and complexity. Love em

Wow, glad to see this album get some shine. It's an incredibly overlooked album that's a masterpiece through and through. Nick's bass playing and tone is just `chefs kiss` amazing. They released this album with practically no promotion or advertising and then maybe played a couple shows and then the band took a break for years so they never really got out and toured for this album cycle so it stayed largely unknown.

Yeah that one is wild, one of my favorite JFAC tracks

At some point in time metal was huge in my hometown and this band came to play a few times. At that time I thought death metal was not for me. But I am realizing that I missed out so much ! This song is great ! Thanks to whoever recommended this.

Excited to watch this one! Looooooove the bass tone throughout the album. To me, it's the ideal bass mix for metal.

Back in the day this song completely forced me to re evaluate JfaC. Amazing evolution by this band.

I'm so glad you're tackling something from Nick, he's been one of my favourite players for ages and I think he's the one that introduced me to Warwick basses, coincidentally I picked up my first German Warwick just yesterday (Corvette $$ 5 string) and you're totally right, such a specific, very cool mojo to them.

You absolutely need to hear some of the material on Xenosapien by Cephalic Carnage. His playing was crazy on that record, too.

This song really captivated me the second i heard the intro, and it was the first song of the album i heard, i then listened to the entire album, and the bass stands out on all tracks. But this song is my favorite, especially how it leads in from the first song, you would really field day with the first song outro and then it plays into this song, just excellent music.

Yeesssssss. Nick played out of his mind on this whole record. So stoked they’re back again.

Ttheir song tickles a spot in my brain I didn’t know was there. At the moment I'm loving October Ends' new song, you should definitely react to it!

This is easily one of my favorite albums, probably neck and neck with Where Owls Know My Name as my favorite in the genre and its absolutely because of how well the bass cuts in throughout all the tracks through beautiful chord choices and great tones throughout the whole thing.

Great video! I have a request you've probably had a few times, Nuclear Power Trio. Anything by them, but probably Clear and Present Rager would be a great track to cover. Cheers! 🤘

One of my favorite JFAC songs ever! Even though there are many that I like/learning to love over the years.

Glad to see more metal stuff being looked at! Can’t recommend enough Entheos’ Dark Future album.

Mark, you’ve gotta check out Grinding Wheels of Ophanim off JFAC’s new album Moon Healer. Nicks bass line is absolutely killer on that track. The bass tone is absolutely perfect throughout the entire album along with the bass being extremely forward in the mix. Worth a listen. A review of this track would be a nice follow up to this video. Keep up the great work!!

My dad majored in musical theory in college back in the 70’s and I’ve had the hardest time convincing him of the complex musicality in death metal. The death metal he was exposed to were in the early days of the genre when it wasn’t as complex as this. He made his mind up about the genre way back then (he hasn’t really kept up with the times in any other aspect of life either), so he believes this genre is nothing but a mess of crunchy noises and random riffs played at high speeds. He’s 72 years old now, so I’m not sure if there’s any hope that he’ll take to this genre any more kindly now than he did 10, 20, 30 years ago, but I’d like to think this video might change his mind. I’m gonna try to remember to show it to him next time I see him.

The curious thing is that outside of the undeniable heavy warwick bass sound, if you are playing metal the other way a bass can cut through a mix very clearly and really shine is ironically enough, a fretless wood fretboard bass: something about that almost singing quality to the sound really makes it almost as prominent but in the complete opposite way to the warwick sound by being strangely ethereal inside a very well, metallic, mix with highly distorted guitars and punchy drums.

I want this dude to check out Ohrwurm by Cephalic Carnage. Same bass player

So shortly after Nick joined the band, they made a huge pivot to a more progressive style for Sun Eater that I much prefer over their old stuff. Their new one Moon Healer that just came out is a lot like Sun Eater, and I think is even slightly better if you can believe it. So I really only listen to those two albums, and mostly for the bass lol

Yeeeeessss thank you so much for this!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 ps Danny Walker is a top 5 drummer; Nick is a top 5 Bassist and this album has one of the best drum and bass combos ♥️♥️♥️♥️

It's funny how you mentioned that this isn't the genre you would want to play a P bass or jazz bass in, which I agree with. However, the original bassist for First Fragment, Vincent Savary, used a 5 string Fender Jazz through a Bassman on the album Daesin. The first video you did on Forest playing Gula, that was originally recording on that 5 string Jazz. Absolutely blew my mind when he told me that.

I don't think I have really ever heard the bass being so upfront in the mix in an extreme metal song before. Death had a few songs but when the guitars come in but that upfront is nice. The faster parts still the bass isn't as audible except for when it's filling out space.
