First Fragment is like a band with 24 brains

I remember reading the comments on another video (a Sepultura song, I think) and metal stans began going on about "THE BASS IS ONLY TO ANCHOR THE SONG, NO MORE NO LESS," and one guy cracked wise about how "God forbid fretless bass should ever be played in metal." Forest would make their heads asplode. This is how metal stays fresh and exciting, by bringing in new ideas and concepts from everywhere. The stans can keep listening to the same old same old while I will seek new sounds and see if I like them or not.

Except fretless bass isn't new in metal music at all, just not utilized as much.

@@Crodon I agree, let's not forget Steve DiGiorgio who played fretless bass on a number of Death albums

trying to process all these notes! Amazing!

Insane. He plays bass like a flamenco player. And so clean. 😂 🫶

Big props to bands like Death, Cynic, Gorguts etc for paving the way, but this is so next level my great-grandchildren still won’t be able to comprehend how this happened 🤘

I've seen many bassist, but none of them are as perfectionists and virtuous as this guy. This level of composition is out of reach for the majority of us. Witness evolution of human species at its finest

jus met him and talked in portland! pretty much told him this!

Absolutely stunning song. As someone who is listening to tech death 20 years already, this song is a stellar example of amazing balance between tech elements and musicianship. I know a lot of people praising In'el but this song is even more impressive on so many levels.

Unmatched skill. Underrated band.

Forest my dude, this shit is insane!! I will always sit in awe as I watch you play, if I ever get the chance to see you live, I'm bringing a chair so I can sit my ass down and pay full attention to a master at work.

Seriously. I'd rather sit down for an hour and watch him play than be in a mosh pit any day.

Such technique. Elements of jazz and what seems to be classical guitar playing. I didn’t think tech death metal bass players were this good. I’m blown away!!!

Astonishing playing

FOREST IS A MANIAC ARE U KIDDING ME

This is some of the best bass I've ever heard in my life, period.

The most insane bassist I've ever seen. Thanks for the reminder.

The best Tech/Prog Death Metal bass player of all time. Everything he touches become gold. It happened with early Beyond Creation & Augury albums and now with First Fragment incredible sophomore album. Terrific.

If First Fragment is so good why isn't there a Second Fragment???

It's done, Dominic is the absolute best bass metal player in history period, some may say Steve Digiorgio, Cliff Burton, Jeroen Paul Thesseling, etc And I know music is not a competition but man Dom is above any other. I just hope someday meet him and thank him for inspiring me and so many other musicians. Go Forest go!

Creativity Beyond imagination? Nay, I call it... "Beyond Creativity"

I don't understand anything you're doing , but you're doing it very good !

I know the execution of this song is beyond amazing. But what I find even more interesting is the idea on how you are able to compose something like that, my god. Inspirational is a small word for this.

I've been playing bass 31 years, mostly metal, and you still never fail to blow my mind. Fucking amazing!

Great work as usual! Go Forest.

相変わらず気持ちがイイ音～。 独特のピッキングフォームだから唯一無二のプレイ。

this man is pretty much a bass virtuoso

Absolutely amazing song and video. THICC bass sound. Also, worth to note, cameraman isn't shaking in seizures and perspective doesn't change 3 times per second, which is always good.

I like all the notes he played.

The precision is unmatched! Amazing stuff Dom.

Watching this again and again... amazing!

I'm not sure if I should feel inspired to become better, or simply quit playing, because this was spotless. The intonation, timing, fingering, slapping, tapping, everything is just perfectly executed, and yet with so much feeling.

Loved his work in Augury and he's still killing it.

MAGNIFICENT!

This is amazing! This is insane!

so precise! insane! absolute god

What a wild ride

I'm always completely blown away by these playthrough videos! Just beautiful playing. Haven't spun the LP in awhile! Definitely overdue for a listen!

got you with youtube recommendations, this is great !!

i can watch you playing for hours! Amazing work!

that was absolutely stellar to watch. wow

Glorieux.

Wow.. absolutely mind blowing!.

This is absolutely amazing.

Amazing

Absolute monster, fantastic stuff

it is fantastic to see the band again.

Wow its amazing

Could listen to this for hours, absolute master at his craft!

Magnificent

Impressive as always. I wouldn’t expect anything less from you.

Truly inspirational playing.

1:24 maaaan that harmonic is insane !

Beautiful and brutal.

bass sounds amazing

Absolutely face-melting! Cheers! (I could probably do that if I had five fingers.)

il ne me reste pas assez d'années de vie pour atteindre ce niveau technique et de recherche mélodique

@@cosmicpanda7043 I'm guessing you are a fretless? If not, the frets will mute the harmonic when you do the slide. Keeping the fretting finger straight/perpendicular to the string also helps. You could also try to remember the exact locations of the harmonic depending on the fret number, but that is a bunch of work

Your music is nothing but phenominal. Keep it up guys \m/

Bonkers....I as a bass player, will now have to go back to Ole Smokey....thanks Forest 🥸

Malade comme toujours Forrest!!!! Continue ton travail excellent!!!

Trop malade ta vraiment beaucoup d’influence musical c’est beau a voir et a entendre

Spotify smart shuffle introduced me to this band and instantly I was captivated by that BASS! had to see more! Shout-out to smart shuffle!

mastery full bass

Wild stuff.

This is my new favorite band by a landslide.

Merci !!!

Awesome spot light on Forest! God is love, hugs and love sent from cali, praying for all!

Spectacular as always. Literally every note this man plays is gold. I like how in almost every video (or actually every video?) of Forest doing a playthrough he plays with a long sleeve shirt of some sort. A fellow long sleeve enjoyer :D Also that beard is coming in nicely! I wonder how long he's going to grow it haha :D

C'est la toune que je mets en début de mon cardio, à la fin de mes entrainements. Depuis cette chanson et la fin de l'album, il ne reste qu'une trentaine de minutes. C'est le temps, (et le rhythme), parfait pour faire de la course. J'entends cette chanson (entre autres) chaque fois que le battement de mon coeur s'éleve,

The only one! Grande Forest!

funky!

Gran composición....el bajo sabe!

I had the pleasure of playing a show with Beyond Creation when he was in the band and my god it was mind boggling watching him play this live and a super nice guy as well.

Its totally magic to see how he is using his instrument not only to support the rhythmics but also to layer on harmonics, while filling the soundscape and having a total decent sound. Damn good invested 5 minutes :)

Why dom is num 1 ? CREATIVITY

Wouuhaa chaud patate!! Et jouer ça à chaque concert?! Quelle performance, respect!

Incredible as always. This guy isn't my favorite bass player (Mike Watt), but he's who tech-death players wish they were. Or at least other tech players ASPIRE to reach this level. Always a pleasure, Forest. Thanks!

i like the sound of the music that i hear

Tu repousse encore les limites mon ami ! 🤘 c'est mental.
