If you listen real close, the creepy opening melody is present the entire song. Every riff revolves around that melody. The harmonics in the main riff is the whole melody spelled out. Super ingenious, well hidden, but on discovery super obvious. I really dig this song.

That's a drummer's work

This song sounds like a remix of the original song but this the original

It cannot be understated how incredibly intricate the whole arrangement is and make no mistake the drummer is in charge here. Phenomenal performance from a band who are masters of their craft.

The drummer is so consistent I feel as though he is the foundation that the guitars sit atop of and then accent. Their tone in general makes this for me

why are music teachers always so loveable? i just subbed

You know the song is good when you make the music teacher literally just take a deep reflection on how great music is in general

The bass and the drums work together so amazingly in this song

Polyphia did their first tours of Japan by joining forces with a Japanese KZread guitar prodigy that had covered their song Aviator, incl the blazing Jason Richardson guest solo. When she was in elementary school. By the time she was 11 she was signed to Sony, her first two albums were all instrumental, she got to join the guys onstage and generally meet the world’s greatest shredders (Guthrie Govan gave her tips in person; she does NAMM Ibanez booth with Kiki Lourero & polyphia, Jason R; jams with bumblefoot, Mateus asato, etc; joint interviews with Marty Friedman; Paul Gilbert contacted her with an open/public video to give her free lessons, etc). For her 15th birthday she released two songs with her new band (guitarist & singer), and got Billy Sheehan & Shane Gaalaas as guest rhythm section. 15 yr old LisaX, One More Chance is Enough, check it out. (Remember to count! And yes,the keyboard slot is up for grabs!) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gq6n08-ndcSeacY.html

Excellent format with notes as the video progresses. Thank you for your work.

The drummers little groove at 3:43 is my favourite part of the whole song. I've been a guitar player for 25 years and obviously love what they are doing on guitar and bass, but the drummer is doing incredible work throughout.

Thanks very much. It's great to see a new channel where - through your community - you can shine a light on tremendously talented musicians and vocalists, like these. I really enjoyed it here new sub/bell

one of the best shows i ever saw live and nobody on stage even moved

Loved the piano outro Also the picture of shredded paper when you explained they used to shred harder lol.

Never fails that when that guitar starts, instant goosebumps all over

I really love what you said about the love we all have about music. Feel the exact same way!

Just one of the insane things about this band I don't see too often is that when the bass is focused around the root notes, the guitars are playing a totally different riff based around the 3rd or the 5th of the root note so the entire band is playing 2 or 3 different melodies and somehow playing them all as chords with several different fills all being tied together by the drums that done even play a "safe beast in the pocket" it's really unique and had weird rhythms that work so well for the song.

Saw these guys, in Boston, this past Thursday and they were awesome!!! Played just before DGD!!!

this guy gets it bruh!! just being a part of music is one of the most fulfilling things in the world

I absolutely adore this band! Great reaction! Another great song by them that you should consider is Nightmare!

Cool piece, so much emotion and heavy going on at the same time

So glad i found you. Im in the right place because you listen just like i do.. every reaction u had was exactly like mine lol . Knowing your a teacher.. gives me a lil more confidence in my training. Im on to something 😎 great content.

Never heard so many harmonics in a song.. They made the best use of this.. And heads off to the drummer.. Damnn the timings

I love the extra info on the sides!

I saw them live on the 22nd of September in Columbus with Dance Gavin Dance and my God were they amazing. They can play all this shit flawlessly live. DGD is my favorite band of all-time so getting to hear Polyphia too was out of this world. The raw drums and how absolutely incredible he is. The way their drummer keeps them on time makes their songs sound so perfect. Also, you have to give their bassist a lot of credit too. One of the most funky bass parts I've ever heard. Tim Henson is just an absolute animal. I can't wait to hear some new stuff from them.

This channels a little too underrated it’s so high quality hope the clout comes in soon

If you want to check out something you've maybe never listened to, check out Destroyer by Inferi! Highly technical while still being melodic

haunting beauty seems like a cliche phrase, but to me it best sums up the tone of this piece

love those trivias

wow...so greet. i like it.Good Job man. Like From Malaysia

Since you’re starting to dip into the progressive metal scene I think it would be cool to hear your thoughts on some meshuggah, maybe dancers to a discordant system. Or if you liked polyphia I know you’ll love animals as leaders. Probably the best prog band on the scene right now any song by them will definitely grab your attention. Love the channel man 👍🏻

Lol just for kicks (I also don’t know if you have already seen it) but check out Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail

Definitely listen to crush by them. One of my favorites.

i found polyphia from a video on facebook of a little bit of guitar solo. i'm not a musician and ive always been curios what a professional thinks of it. because it sounds amazing to me.

Highly recommend checking out Between The Buried & Me - Extremophile Elite (live from the fidelitorium)

Thanks for reacting to this! Next up, rule of nines by spiritbox

he’s feelin it

Okay had no idea about there name so thanks for that, I started getting into music because of math and progressive rock music so that was an interesting fact to know

These guys are insane. THe melody is mostly implicit in the chord progression. They are very on top of it with the guitar parts. And the beat is really tight, with the guitars and bass keeping the accents. Even when the drums are not playing (like in the beginning) the beat is so clear and makes you move your head.

"I'm gonna have nightmares about that" Just wait until Tim comes in.

Quite outstanding 🏆

You gotta do unleash the archers - the awakening. It's a MUST!

You should react to Manuel Gardner and Tim Henson playing In the cut. It’s pure gold.

Glad you enjoyed the music like the rest of us... but as a music teacher, I would have expected more analysis on the musicality of this piece... other than generic statements like the guitarist is great and it’s nice to see the passion from musicians.. I don’t know the video just seemed lazy and as an initial reaction of such a masterpiece, you didn’t seem all that impressed/mind blown... which is fine, you’re entitled to your own honest reaction but... I’m sure other people who truly felt this song reacted much more excitedly and was at sheer awe. You didn’t at all scratch the surface; didn’t tell me something I already knew (again as a “music teacher”). Just wanted to share some, hopefully, constructive feedback.
