I have heard and played quite a bit of metal guitar in my day.. but these guys.. they have such a unique sound.. it’s so deep and heavy but yet they put it all together in such a way that is rather melodic and actually beautiful... love their guitar playing.. the musics always pretty kick ass..

yep, back when metalcore was actually listenable. Just every kid gets on the scene now and goes "I can 0101010100011011101" and that's a new song... great. Then you have some bands actually trying to be creative like The Arusha Accord or Plini, or even Polyphia etc... I guess metalcore these days is metal for the masses, it's the metal equivalent of pop.

Hey, Deftones are a great band and still popular

I am 30 years old and have been playing over a decade and like to believe I can tear it up myself, and I swear I have never watched a guitar video as many times as this one.. something about these 2 dudes riffing together is beautiful really.. its so heavy and deep, low, but virtually anything they have ever put together just has this melody to it.. they harmonize one another brilliantly and it just sounds,...... too damn good.. I’m off for my mission of learning everything they have ever put out.. but it’ll never be that same by yourself.. for sure..lol.. only these 2?guys can do this melodic metal they have going on so diversely. Hope they do it till their hands won’t let them anymore.

I remember hearing this demo before the album came out and knew that music was about to change for the better AOJB is one of my favorite albums of all time and their riffs are so good that I had to learn them to rethink my songwriting structure! I sent my demo to Roadrunner and they liked it! Nothing ever happened cause of the band breaking up. But I shit you not that I had heard some of my riffs on later albums from roadrunner by different artists it’s just crazy!!!

Two of my guitar hero's. Great stuff.

One of my all favorite tracks from Killswitch. Aggressive, heavy, and just over all great song. The opening track from for Alive or Just Breathing like what an awesome start. Followed by Self Revolution then it just gets better through all the whole album. But this track is one of my favorites off of the album.

That tone !!!

Love this song!

FUCK YES. need more of them. literally anything will be good. can really tell they enjoy playing this song. love them

How are dead set hardcore sound can be made to sound so beautiful in parts is just mental.

How big are Adams hands??? Steve vai watch out!

I'm dying to learn that solo

how could you dislike this?!

Joel and adam used to idk if they still do play the game “pinch drunk love” live where they pinch harmonic at eachother in the midst of songs. Its pretty f’n awesome to catch

those caparison's are so sick
