M.A.N "Logocide"

[wolverine669]

@crazyazn007 Rob Guz is a very original person, but I guess there's no deeper reason...

[BulletTrotter]

We want you in Italy!

[tbeiber09]

I'd love to get ahold of a quarter tone guitar. Looks like some very interesting shit could come from that.

[MusicAsMedicine88]

this pretty fuckn dope!

[someguy827]

If Wayne Static and Burton C. Bell had a baby...

[executeorders]

the guitar player looks like that guy from star trek :D

[gryphonavocatio]

It's almost tolerable, and then they go into that nü-metal "seduction" bullshit. The quater-tone stuff is brilliant. Wasted on a shitty band.

[countmorgoth]

This is sick! Thanks to Drop for introducing me to these guys! BTW, is singer the same dude from Icon In Me?

[mushroomsuicideboy]

@countmorgoth yes i_i,

[BOLTACORE]

@countmorgoth yes he is same as icon in me.

[jasong622]

these guys look like Mortal Kombat characters

[btyremanable]

interesting use of the quarter tonal system

[blackshadowbass]

Welp. Looks like I have another favorite riff.

[21Bouncer]

someone give me the discography of this band PLEASE!

[carnicerodeperros]

ok they look like a bunch of sell outs but fuck that guitarist is sick as fuck!!!!!!!!!!

[iamthenewlow]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­H. <3

[GrozaBathrust]

ok the lady in mortal kombat costume is creepy



[UltraHeadbang]

press 1

[tehpeasant]

How do they tune their guitars to play quatertones?

[TheHeraldic]

I was intrested because I've heard this band used microtonality. But this, for me, is one big fail. He just fails putting decent melodies together, which is totally understandable.. It's just not creative.

[Rager611]

@TheHeraldic I Agree. He also fails at having a metal haircut. a skin head and a mullet... a skullet? this must explain the guitar fails. The entertainment value in laughing at him is good tho, so I've watched this a couple times.

[TheModCon]

@TheHeraldic This actually is one of the songs on the album that uses microtonality best, I was very disappointed with the lack of risk taken and experimentation on the album. Most of the riffs are just normal sounding riffs. I expected it to be somewhat 'similar' in a way to the guitar solo, very different, and Harry Partch-esque

[TheHeraldic]

@TheModCon yea especially, when you think about it, microtonality gives you more combinations with intervals... so you can do so much more xD

[TheModCon]

@TheHeraldic Definitely! I was looking forward to some really bizarre chords hah hah ^^

[SCORPIOXDRAGON]

holy.

fucking.

shit.

I shouldn't be able to view this video in my country.

ears in the U.S. are just not equipped to handle quarter tones.

if the wrong person hears this, it could be fatal.

... HELLS FUCKING YYYEAHHH!!!!!

....

i need a cigarrette now.

[kratanuva725]

@SCORPIOXDRAGON Who would be equipped to handle quarter tones? I've heard people from the middle east say they HATE the western usage of quarter tones.

For one thing, Arabic music doesn't actually use quarter tones, they use neutral intervals. E.A. 3/4 tones, not 1/4 tones, so even though theoretically they use a 24 tone scale (it is a lot more complicated in practice) they never play notes that are a quarter tone apart, except maybe for ornaments.

[adithyakiran16]

That solo...

[cystacae]

This song has a lot of similaristies to Meshuggah. I find them all most on the same level as each other.

[TheModCon]

@cystacae I'd love to see what Meshuggah could do with quarter tones! :O

[3TheALife3]

at first i was like, is this a joke? the the vocals came in and i was like WHAT THE FUCK! YES!

[POPPINNADES1]

Is that a distort pedal or what?????

[chillifarmerjoel]

those are some dirty ass riffs!!\m/ \m/ you be needin' them gloves!!!

[bedfall]

crazy star trek guitarist!

[halo31033103]

かっけーな。ギターの奴オリジナリティを追求してる。すっげーー­ーー！

pperfeeec ool



[neilorourke71]

zach de la rocha on drums!

[MykeMetyll]

It's great to hear a band that's more nu-metal influenced than that new "deathcore" shit.

[rage1331]

@MykeMetyll HA

[scrotzki789]

Hats' Off to Holdsworth @ 2:48

[LordSauercrowd]

The Vocalist is a Dez fafara clone ..!!!! DevilDriver rulez ...

oh i forgot ...this song is sick !

[jacksonguitarsrule1]

I was told these guys were good. Only found another "nu-metal" band. Goodbye

[cmakproductions]

@jacksonguitarsrule1 Right, because in Numetal all they *ever* do is use microtonal guitars, Meshuggah-esque solos, Static-X type vocals, and various influences from across the board. You're spot on, bro.

[crazyazn007]

any reason the gtarist is wearing plastic gloves

[NikkoB1024]

@crazyazn007 Because it's awesome

[Alacardt]

@crazyazn007 he has hepatitis and they share guitars XD

[applepie338]

@crazyazn007

SO he doesn't get his hands filthy from those mega dirty riffs.

[Tharladyn7]

@crazyazn007 stylistic reasons I guess. he is trying to say something i believe! (don' really get what this is, but i didn't ever try)

[BubSmuth]

@crazyazn007 to provoke thought and discussion about their clip...

[Slabolator]

Jesus Christ Mental! I'm getting flavours from Mudvayne, Meshuggah, Static-X.. But its not just a copy-cat band. Sweet!

[ThrashingBastardHell]

Preciosa fusión del buen Math Metal con Nü Metal como los de antaño! geniales elementos Industriales y Experimentales, pero más freak's son los cuartos de tonos en esta canción! algo que me sobre-sorprendió ya que pensé que nunca nadie lo llegaría a hacer ¬¬ xD.

[josieradomski81]

made my day!!! thanks downloadmusic .im

[bizzare78]

Don't forget the Sepultura influence, don't know if the band agrees, but i hear it for sure! =)

[Linkacious1]

I don't think they're going to win any awards for coolness, but jesus christ on a bike the music is fucking immense!!

[MrArek44]

great music... the best album fro man i think so... :D cheers from poland ;)

[JoBForACoWbOyEntomb]

uhm... yes <3

[iloveheavymetal1]

sick singer



[alukarl]

0:22 can anyone say meshuggah?

[Z32spdstr]

@alukarl i love meshuggah

[ojetecalor2]

Que grupazo!!!

[ironpilot27]

SIC !!! 5 stars !!!

[mugen12666]

Korn + Static-x +Mudvayne = M.A.N

[ekdavid]

@mugen12666 +sickness

[jambii]

fuck yeah!!

vocalist is a Necro fan too :D

[someguy827]

These guys are fucking sick O_O

[Acydia1]

sort of sounds like a mix of Static-X and Meshuggah. Hey somebody should try to tab this song.

[ScarGuitar]

METAL FATIGUE!!! :)

[ScarGuitar]

METAL FATIGUE!!! :)

[Liitenbrud]

First time I heard M.A.N was 9th of October this year, as support for Sonic Syndicate @ KB, Malmö - Sweden.

THEY'RE FUCKING AWESOME ON STAGE, and this song is DAMN GREAT.

[TheFuckingWicked]

Sick Fuckin song

[AaronWelchMusic]

That guitar is just epic, i want a quarter tone guitar, though god knows what i'd do with it...

[Lubial]

Fucking awesome fucking metal!

[Jeudaos]

fuck yeah, this is was better than my own sickness. the guitar solo sounds like something pink floyd would do if they were acid metal! can somebody explain this microtone stuff to me better, is it something to do with the solo?

[eliten0Ob]

@Jeudaos Microtonal is when the guitar got frets BETWEEN the normal frets. So you can obtain quarter-tones.

[Jeudaos]

@eliten0Ob so he's actually on the fret divider, rather then on the fret is what your saying.

[DarkDoorFilms]

@Jeudaos 2=it's the guitar. Instead of having twelve frets to an octave there are 24, leaving each musical 'half step' (one fret on standard guitar) is cut in half. It'd leave the entire neck with either 44 or 48 frets but it would be the same scale as a 22 or 24 fret neck, just divided into more parts.

[Jeudaos]

@DarkDoorFilms thanks for the info. I appreciate it, now I need to make sure I know what your talking about. you threw octave in there and now I'm confused. I know know the words fret and neck obviously though hah

[DarkDoorFilms]

@Jeudaos Basically, each fret is divided into two frets with half the intonation in between, It essentially adds 'notes' between the existing notes in the musical scale, making it quarter-steps rather than the average musical half-step that is a single fret on a normal guitar.

[AaronWelchMusic]

@DarkDoorFilms I'd imagine it's quite a high scale length just to assure he can actually play the notes though xP

[DarkDoorFilms]

@AaronWelchMusic It looks like it's somewhere between 27"-30", which is pretty much standard standard for seven or eight string guitars (his is 7). There's a close-up of the fretboard during the solo and the frets seem pretty small, even on the nut side. The upper register must be nearly unplayable.

[MarkAllanBarnes]

I love the sound you're making with those 24 edo instruments. Woo!

[sevishmusic]

Kudos for using microtones... More bands and musicians should be getting on microtones (and not just quartertones either). I don't know if this band sees it as a gimmick - but I don't, it's a way of life!

[clones98]

This is great!

[CannibalZombieKiller]

Rob Gus is the shit!

[supernoisebleed]

singer sounds like max cavalera here, but in another video, he sounds like the singer from mudvayne, and yet he sang for mnemic on tour haha, versatile indeed

[supernoisebleed]

@supernoisebleed also sounds like jens kidman from meshuggah also.

[malique666]

Great guitarwork, cool sound!

[QBACORE]

great love it

[combusted]

at 2:49 minute of play beginning with the introductory song of the album Allan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue:)))

[Poundedinodust]

sååååå blyyytungt!!

[dnevnost]

The vocal voise in this band little bit resimble on Ill Nino vocal

[jyrgeeniusfilm]

48 fret metal !!!!

[cockhead25]

I can't wait to see them this summer!!!!!

[Kivip44]

Woah, this track/video's actually really good! The drums, vocals, everything! Prolly my favourite M.A.N track this far, gotta buy the album. Goddamn!

[ExceriusGuitar]

I think this is incredibly lazy. The idea is nice, but they never exploit it beyond incredibly basic chromatics. They could do so much more with this, but it seems typical for this band to take interesting concepts and do absolutely nothing with them. Another good example is Blood Vanish where he uses ''exotic instruments'' only to layer the lead melody. No interesting musical lines or anything. Just.. plain.. layering.. Just like this is just.. plain.. chromatics..

[42themeaningoflife]

@ExceriusGuitar They do a decent job, and this is more creative that 95% of everything else being put out atm so I'm not sure that there is much room to criticise, besides, getting microtones to sound like more than random noise to the western ear is an achievement no matter how simplistic the arrangement.

[Luvanicebum]

Holy crap! This is just plain nasty. Love it.

[belowtheforgotten]

michael bogballe is the shit this shit is fuckin awsome !!! mnemic worthy

[tigrisnakkana]

I'm feelin' Meshuggah-ish

[kontarisjohn]

i don't care how well they know how to play their instruments or the full scale quarter crap system, the result is at least pointless, irritating and technically extravagant...when are some bands planning to play some quality music instead of masturbating on the frets and trying to be as technical as possible??? M.A.N tries too hard and as a result FAILS so hard. (i respect their proficiency, i despise their music)

[korn74]

Awesome, love there sound and this video.

[GabroeZombie]

I just realized the principals of the "Full Scale Quarter Tone System".

48 frets mean double the amount of notes. and 1 fret goes only a quarter tone instead of a half. Shit just gets weirder and weirder... Must be an interesting body and neck scale.. I hope Rob makes a guitar lesson video or workshop video again and explains it all.

[EktomorfFan]

Ahh this is kick ass !!!! Amazing.

[Folter]

why does the guitarist have a bag on his hand?

[PureTalentSG]

@Folter if u look the guitarist up, hes into lots of wierd effects and ways to play the instrument..in one other song he uses a coin instead of a pick to create a solo :) i guess the bag is to make it sound more 'slippery' when he moves up and down the neck, to give that chormatic feel :)

[dvdroshin]

yeah they weren't as good before this. this album shouldn't be as disappointing as the last one.

[xxhybridstigmataxx]

this band has sucked up until this point, this song is fucking badass

[chaskamaska]

i hate metal, but quarter tones are fucking awesome

[Noir2129]

This type of metal has seen it's day, that day has come and gone.

[mondomg]

Quartertones for the win.

[kinetico]

Damn,this video definately tops "My Own Sickness".The guitar solo is FRIGGIN insane,like someone combined Koichi Fukuda and Fredrek Thordendal together.Vocals are reminiscent to Static-X,Mudvayne,and Fear Factory.Drums are complex yet great.Bass is near close to guitar sound(in a good way).M.A.N,don't leave anytime soon.This is pure FUCKING metal at its prime.

[the2989]

looks like the guitarist is wearing condoms on his fingers

[totalulz74]

haha, this video sucks so bad! :D

Song is pretty good.
