DESPISED ICON studio report , Episode 3 : BASS

[IPotemkin]

Maaaaxweeeeeelll :D

The best part =)

[guschamber]

He is a bass God..

[HeavyMetalMike22]

i like how he speaks english

[drokan13]

The Sansamp DI is amazing. Seriously if you're thinking about getting one I highly recommend it. It might your bass tone much brighter and all round just heavy

[Beholdthesharktopus]

@drokan13 How would you compare it to a Line 6 Bass PODxT?

[drokan13]

@Beholdthesharktopus I've not tried a Line6 Bass PODXT, so I couldn't really make a comparison, but I can safely say the Sansamp adds much more depth and tone to your bass sound

[rockerleon]

whats the song at the end?

[BVisionProductions]

BASSGASM

[nemesiselite0]

Damn, he's so great !

[Dman4441]

Damn anyone else catch all that music theory talk? This guy knows his shit lol

[Pactoren]

i shook that guys hand last night =D. He is completely insane at bass. I have never seen anyone play so fast on any instrument and be accruate at the same time.

[ToSufferInSilence]

he's fucking jacked!!! holy shit!!!

[DLI848]

should have made the bass louder on the album. I hate when people don't know how to mix basses.

[mitchranalli]

@DLI848 Typical bass player talk. ALWAYS wanna be the loudest.... just kiddin man.

[nemesiselite0]

@DLI848

Actually this is how to mix a bass... but you would prefer it louder.

[DLI848]

@nemesiselite0 It's low man, you can't even tell he sweeps on the album.

[Beholdthesharktopus]

@DLI848 The new Black Dahlia and Born of Osiris albums both have really prevalent bass sounds. I hope this is going to become a trend.

[zebo1er]

u can tell how all these dudes are total masters of their instruments and know them inside and out. they clearly love what they do

[MaggotHeaven]

I love this band so much

[borderjumper67]

this guy is awesome at bass

[MattitudeXSensei]

what is the song from the cd with that amazing bass boom

[bluie3]

MVP, and the end of Day of Mourning

[burnsometrashcans]

he blows their old guy out of every water

[wtmbass]

is he their new bassist?

he's AWESOME

[LordMeMo92]

what's the name of song?

[tristan2]

days of mourning

[LordMeMo92]

awesome \m/

[brianav666]

finally some english

[ilvblastbeat]

25 sec fucking big riff!! <3

[TheEternalSound]

they should turn up the volume on him

[Chapter93]

The first song he's recording is the first song on the album and definitely one of the best.

[Hubdcf]

he sweeps with his bass!!

[AllExhalesAllMetal]

its so cool man!!! cant wait to hear the new album!!!

[0BoogieWoogie0]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxwell^^

[godwascreatedbyminds]

like i really want to like them, real bad! they are soo brutal but only 35% of the time, but when they do it owns.If i could copy and paste their music into another album they would be my favorite...see what im sayin.

[godwascreatedbyminds]

haha nah i still like a fractured hand (the last 10 seconds mostly-because its epic) and ills of modern man and the beginning of arms in perdition

[shevanelRDS]

lol they are ashamed of starting "deathcore" i would be too, its fucking gay. They said in an interview most of the bands who play it suck and they are moving away from deathcore.

They are innovaters, always playin shit that bands copy. Metal as fuck keepin shit fresh before bad bands make it pussy

[demanufacture1]

i agree... they dont play like deathcore bands.

i think they are on the same way like for example misery index. I will risk that Despised Icon plays Death/Grind with a lot of core influences.

[KurbeeKuthroat]

does anybody know if he plugs that sansamp right into the mixer to record or if the pedal is going through an amp aswell?

im having a tough fuckin time getting that kind of tone with my sansamp.

[godwascreatedbyminds]

yea these guys are the best...chug chug chugggggggg....chug chug chug........it would take me 35 years to play a breakdown...

[drokan13]

You obviously haven't listened to a full song. Its not just chug chug chug as you can clearly hear from their video's and albums. Actually listen to a band before you criticise.

[godwascreatedbyminds]

ACTUALLY i listen to this band a lot because they have a lot of brutal cool parts, but over all they are annoying lol because they dont STAY good an entire song, trust me if you knew my friends, they always tell me to turn this "shitty" band off and play something good (like fleshgod apocalypse or some faceless)

[drokan13]

You listen to this band alot, but you find them annoying. Don't listen to them then? Simple as

[Jordanhasgerms]

LOL so you just listen to what your friends listen to??

[godwascreatedbyminds]

uh huh, whatever they tell me, they say jump..i say how high...

[MrMatthewsToYou]

i always do what my friends tell me to do and listen to what they want me to listen too because I can't think for myself and I care so much about what others think of what I listen too and do. the faceless are awesome but they are nowhere near as brutal as despised icon.

[godwascreatedbyminds]

despised icon are awesome but they are nowhere near as brutal as the faceless*

[Magusch]

i don'T think that the faceless is brutal... for me, they are high quality musicians !

[panaramicpimpin]

charles shut the fuck up

[Heretic123456]

i dont give a shit about the "brutality" of the music....i just like it because its awesome!!!

[blight4hire]

well diff pple have diff opinions. some pple find faceless shitty lol

[DespisedSTI]

max kinda looks like Sabre tooth mixed with the hulk lmfao! Amazing bass skills his fingers are fast as fuck.

[TheHereticBrother]

thats right... "fastFinger".. :ł

[awaketheborndead]

sick, and props to him for the intronaught shirt

[BosniaMaggot666]

this is real fucking deathcore and not that emo deathcore shit

greetings from Bosnia

[Oriasis]

At 3:51

That is the sickest sounding bass drum sound

I've ever heard!

I hope to get mine to sound like that one

day!!

[godwascreatedbyminds]

0:00 to 0:08 makes me want to buy this and punch babies, then 3:00 to 3:12 comes around and makes me want to buy a lil wayne album instead, gay, can't believe breakdowns are still around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[TATdrummerJP]

Depends on the breakdown ;) these guys always make it intresting. If you ask me =)

[chokolate999]

yes indeed they do :) not all just chugs

[murphy350]

your a fag

[blight4hire]

haha then you dun listen to death metal with breakdowns i see :) i love aborted, gojira and suffocation. love their breakdowns.

[Rioxxxfly]

hey you're the best

[KurbeeKuthroat]

These guys make me proud to Live in Montreal.

[KurbeeKuthroat]

why the fuck did i capitalize Live? must have been pretty baked...

[TATdrummerJP]

FUCK, the song starting at 1:27 is fucking awesome, this is so the next gear of Despised icon. Can't wait to hear this shit! You guys are great, come to sweden!

[ThePongWiz]

3:00 to 3:12 fucking heavy!

[MeatPole6]

fuck yes

[LuNaTyKHaTeR]

LOL HOLY FUCK@!

[Oriasis]

Damn that shit is fuckin' heavy!

[godwascreatedbyminds]

you fucking assholes i thought i was going to get my ass handed to me, god damn it its just a BREAKDOWN! oh im sure you guys were serious too...

[KurbeeKuthroat]

Bro, relax a bit on the breakdown thing, these guys were doing it waaaaay before this deathcore wave/fad even began, their just doing their thing, take it or leave it.

[DespisedSTI]

Yeah Kurbee is right, these guys started back in 2002, they're legends you cant fuck with these guys.

[elementskater94]

[kizza55]

They're Canadian. A lot of people in Canada speak French. They're known as being French Canadian.

[adzyus]

Despised is proudly from Quebec, Canada !

Most people from Quebec speak French !

[5h3pp5]

I Know Most Of Quebec Speacks French But I Didnt Know That They Were Canadian...

And Do They Sing In French???

Cause You Cant Reallt Tell With All The Pig Squeals And Stuff...

[TaylorMoria]

[5h3pp5]

The first album was...BEAST

[cobhc09]

They are canadian and speak french. But not the bassist because he is from Boston MA!!!

[blind1709]

Despised Icon is from Montreal, Canada. Everyone else is speaking French/ Canadien

[bludrummer]

Max! Not only is he an incredible player, he is one of the nicest guys you have ever met! Can't wait to hear the new album, and look forward to catch you on the road. Brent - Drummer - BLU

[sic19940]

i hope the new album have pig squeals in the song

[dhals1m]

[Magusch]

and i like the bassplayer becaurse he is not a pickplayer to play very fast ...no he play this speed with fingers:)

[sanchez666999]

[grumlop]

[Achdeinemudda]

[GhostAnimals93]
