I'm blown away, wow, powerful stuff here...
-
crystal mountain is my go to death metal recommendation song for people who’ve never heard the genre. it’s such an anomaly in the sense that is can be wildly brutal while also being incredibly lyrical and instrumentally grand. it pretty much embodies peak death metal. true 10/10
-
I hope we'll be getting one of these videos for "Break Stuff" by seminal blackened death-doom outfit Limp Biscuit
-
That opening, playing Crystal Mountain on the piano like that... enough to make a grown man cry. Beautiful.
-
Crystal mountain was the first song i learned front to back on guitar
-
I always thought it made so much sense how the bridge harmony is done in 5ths, aka the purest and stable interval. Pure and stable like a crystal.
-
This is great I'm going to show this to my dad tomorrow. He's free thinking ex-preacher 70 years old and he loves this shit
-
that flanger effect in the bridge is an overdub using pick scrapes im pretty sure. i recorded this song once and did that and sounded bang on.
-
Oh man this is my favorite Death song. So happy this video just popped up.
-
Chuck was an anomaly. The word genius gets thrown around a lot, but holy hell, he was genuinely one of a kind. An absolutely masterful musician.
-
As a Christian, this song really hits, religious hypocrisy is highly annoying and makes people hate religion a lot. But I can't help but to think I'm part of the problem to be honest, no one is perfect. Jesus also really harshly judged the hypocrites, any Christian that uses the bible to justify treating people wrong should stop calling themselves Christians. Thank you for another awesome deep dive

I'm so happy I clicked on this video

Always happy to see these song analyses in my feed. Crystal Mountain was the first Death song I ever heard and got me into the band. But for all the times I’ve listened to it, I’ve never lingered long enough to pick out the things that make it awesome. You’re right - it hits at a subconscious level regardless, but it’s so cool to go through and see what makes the song tick. Chuck wrote such best music and lyrics to go with it. Keep the analyses coming

We need a deep dive for Hot Dog by Limp Bizkit. The lyrics are absolitely genius.
-
Interestingly, I'd think around the same time frame, a band named Mayhem, released an album with a suicide photo of their vocalist and constantly criticized bands like Death in the US for making intricate musical compositions that didn't sound like they only knew three chords and recorded it on cassette in a basement.
-
The riff you mention at 15:36 really is wonderful. What a beautiful phrase.
-
Amazing band, rhythms, and vision. RIP Chuck.
-
