Gatekeeper - "Optimus Maximus"

[obliaca]

Shit. I need to know what drum machine that is?!?!?!? Somebody out there must know...

[atennnant01]

No. This is wrong. Circle in the rocks in Arizona to little neck small circle made out of rocks in the sand also- it is in between these two points- that is where the gatekeeper is; resides. try me t or b or z

[burnking]

The EYE OF HORUS!!!!!!!

[hellucifernation]

THEY STOLE THIS (NOT SAMPLED) from Synergy's "Trellis".

[PetieFr]

O.O THAT'S INTENSE!

[shutout123]

This is so god damn sinister. Love it, I literally just blanked the fuck out.

[hellfukk666]

This sounds like Oldschool EBM. I haven't heard anything like this in a long time. I wish they would make EBM like this instead of that Terror EBM or that Futurepop crap it all sound the same to me.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

@hellfukk666 If you like that EBM/new beat sound that was big in the 80s, I think it's making a comeback: there's strange synthed-out weirdness like this, and also more straightforward dancey stuff like Kloq and Spetsnaz.

[innerartdotnet]

Totally in the mood for some nu-EBM this morning

[SlowVandal]

So awesome!

[CALEPTO]

straight fire ya suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaas

[thempyreans]

Brilliant video, these guys are genius....Great Job!

[LucasHinojosa]

love this track..Check out a live video of Gatekeeper performing live at the Echoplex in Los Angeles on 3-29-2011 on my channel. I gotta see them again soon. To be honest they were by far better than Salem or Light Asylum that night. Keep in mind I love both bands... :D

[blacksunn93]

This great!* lOve it!

[Blainearnold]

The NEW GODS!

[theydkm]

SICK!

[KrisForges]

please post gatekeeper mirage video. it amzn x ∞

[arkell808]

we talk about the sample during an interview we did with Altered Zones if anybody is curious :)

[Juanjaa]

I recently discovered Gatekeeper and have to say that im really amazed, an excellent surprise

[bjornintuit]

They sample Synergy's intro, that's it. Gatekeeper made more of it than the original. Synergy's shit is weak, don't waste your time on it.

[pslayvins]

they took the best moment of trellis, like 4 measures, and used it in part to construct a deeper and much more complex composition. sampling is not a new concept, people...

[tundradubs]

FUCK DA HATERS

[batsinmybed]

This is depressing.  This is not "sampling," this is STEALING. You are using the ENTIRE SONG by Synergy. Brooklyn Hipsters, good thing you have that trust fund! You're about to be sued.

[mrdanielsir]

@batsinmybed

They most likely credited and got permission... and bands like Synergy would be happy to be noticed through other bands sampling their work.

[kg4]

SYNERGY

[TheWizaard]

This is what I didn't know I was craving. Can anyone identify the films in order? :3

[philbs13]

I love the clips from "Popcorn."

[dozaemonable]

it bit sounds like Macarena, though lol

[wiitardo]

JIZZING EVERYWHERE OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

[suzylux]

O Love...

[Ic3Fr3sh]

O-o

[UsefulChamber]

fuck yes.

[RobertGoodFella]

Illuminati crap

[cadburycaramel]

.how is this band not more famous, this kinda music is so sick, i mean its not the 80s anymore you never hear mad synth playing anymore, especially not a john carpenter inspired group, which is just awesome in by it self

[SynergyOhio]

@cadburycaramel This song is Synergy's - "Trellis" are these goofballs really taking credit for this shit?

All they did was add some garageband drums to it and loop the intro. Listen to the original version which sadly has only 104 views

[helpcomputing]

@SynergyOhio holy sh't you are right wtf. I think friends of mine are in this band?? i have that synergy record i remember it was one of the first clear ones i ever got. I am kinda bummed.

[WhackaWhacka]

@SynergyOhio How do you know they didn't credit it on the record? They can't very well give credit when someone else posts it on youtube. Secondly, it's not the same song; they sample a riff from the song as an intro; the rest is different. That's nothing new.

[tunemx]

@SynergyOhio that's a shame 15 ppl supported your rant. And that Synergy shit is only sampled for introduction the whole song is not built on it.

[VernianProcess]

@cadburycaramel You should check out Pittsburgh's "Zombi" they also have a total Carpenter/Goblin influenced sound.

[kingklabe]

WOOOOOOOT!!!

[AugZF]

@kingklabe W999999%T yeah mayne

[nequest]

Y'know how sometimes the memories you have of films are better than they really were? Gatekeeper are basically the the rose-tinted version of a million warped VHS soundtracks that lives inside my head.

The video nails that feeling down hard.

[nuclearghost]

so fucking amazing.

[GrantmotherTubes]

YES! Gatekeeper is seriously the best.
