Stemage - Anosmium

[hardcoredd12]

your great man i lov your metroid songs

[Bobby59kats]

This song sounds like it's really fun to play. Should I take the time to try and learn this monster riffage?

[BloodFoxTK]

is there any chance of a tab book for all the metroid songs you have covered?

[starwars551]

One of Stemage's Best. This, Release, and Strati Part 2 are some of your greatest.

[brownbunny1000]

i like you stemage

[ausgamer529]

sounds like its from F ZERO

[BloodOnlySpills]

0:57 ~ 1:13 is the sickest part of this beast. Grant ought to teach classes on guitarisms.

[stardustzag]

0:58 to 1:08 that part is fucked up!

[concreteflea]

Just a tiny bit off, not "fucked up"

[stardustzag]

right hand up an down al time! fuck yeah

[aznguitar92]

awesome song. you are an amazing musician dude. i'm especially a huge fan of metroid metal. great games and your interpretation of their music is outstanding.

[destinationweponx]

You rule dude at everything!!!!

[hayabusa235]

Standard?

[Stemage]

Standard.

[hayabusa235]

How long does it take you to make a song this good?

[Stemage]

That's a very kind question man. I'm 30, so I guess 30 years? I dunno.

[hayabusa235]

lol im 14 going on 15 and im trying to make a song. This song that you made, the beggining sounds like Three Evils by Coheed and Cambria. i always wanted to make a song like that

[destinationweponx]

it does lol

[hayabusa235]

love your music dude. Your a great musician also. I would buy your album if it was in stores but ima wait before i get it on itunes. nice song By the way

[maurobeardy]

the guitar tone is actually nice, it has this kinda creamy sound that is quite distorted but in a pleasant way

[concreteflea]

Whos drumming? Is it the track playing in the background, or is Kevin helping you?

[Stemage]

That's the drums from the song on the record. I was able to pull them out for this playthrough. Thought might make sense to just have drums and guitar. :)

[Slah606]

Is it Anosmium of Ansomium? 'Cause half the internet says one and the other half says the other. I get confused by the name.

[Stemage]

It's Anosmium. It's a play on Anosmia, which means the inability to smell.

[Stemage]

@Slah606 It's Anosmium. Anosmia is the inability to smell. Anosmium is the state of having no sense of smell. You're welcome 2 years later. ;)

[ChickenPissInTheRoad]

Easily my favorite band on Silent Uproar Records. How is the name pronounced. Like Steam-ag. Or like Stem-Age?

[Stemage]

Thank you!! It's Stem'-edge - like garbage. ;)

[ChickenPissInTheRoad]

thanks, I've been pronouncing it like steam-edge this whole time!

[bastianolea]

I love that album... Thanks you guys, you made me grow up, really, thanks to Stemage gates opened for me in different music areas and that made me really happy :)

[DaemonEX0]

Yes, likewise.. I got into metal by his Metroid-convert songs, which lead the way to the Goth, Progressive, and Screamo songs I now listen to.

[bastianolea]

OMG, here is the same ^_^ Metriod metal introoduced me to Metal music and to Stemage. I bought the CD, loved it. Fabulous Fabulist from stemage then introduced me to screamo bands and the rest of the tracks to progressive rock/metal music :D

[slorgking]

How does a song that doesn't sound remotely screamo introduce you into screamo? I don't get it...

[bastianolea]

...Fabulous Fabulist has growl/scream lyrics, maybe? n_n

[slorgking]

That's funny... I didn't know skramz was strictly growl/scream lyrics...

[nikoESP]

i really want to know the tunning of the guitar

[PrivateBuckwheat]

I'm pretty sure it's just standard, although someone did a cover in drop D.

[DaemonEX0]

Amazing. I'm so getting your album shipped.. Keep it up! Please. o_o;

[ChickenPissInTheRoad]

I highly recommend the album. One of the best I've ever heard.

[jellytroid]

sweet

I couldn't help noticing the ring on your ring finger.

Are you married?

[Stemage]

I am indeed.

[jellytroid]

Did you write that song?

[Stemage]

Yep

[Rael0505]

I'm surprised this is in standard tuning, haha. I've been trying to follow along thinking it was in drop D, and was confused by how he was playing the power chords.

Kamen0 made an awesome cover of this in drop D actually, so I guess it doesn't make that big of a difference.

[cottenswab9000]

i agree, doesnt sound like standard.

[OrcishIncubus]

Best part of this song:

Darwin's acting gay

Giggling in his grave

Opening champagne

On this day

XD

[b0b330]

Strati is phenomenal. It's the future of rock. Prog-pop-metal-indie-instrumen­tal-rock. Keep it up Mr Henry. I look forward to the next album.

[JackXIII]

Love you man, you rock out loud. I need to get a hold of your CD again (My first copy got stolen along with my whole Soundgarden collection, Black Sabbath, Franz Ferdinand, and other stuffs... )

[sonicsmainman1]

SWEET!!! I wish I were atleast as half as good as you.

[A7XRules4life]

Me too... XD

[A7XRules4life]

I'm still waiting for someone to post a video response to this that's even half as good. XD

[A7XRules4life]

Dude, I used to listen to your CD just for nostalgia, because it reminded me of the summer when I bought it, which was filled with good times, and often with the CD playing, but now I just listen for the pure awesomeness. =] =] =] =] =]

[PrivateBuckwheat]

Heh, I wasn't able to get it until the Spring when it was released on Itunes. That took forever...

[A7XRules4life]

I got it after that. I remember seeing the advertisements that it was on iTunes, and wishing I had iTunes just so I could get the album. But I ordered it and got it in the mail.

[PrivateBuckwheat]

I wish I had done that... I like having the physical copy of albums so I can look at the artwork and liner notes and everything, but I didn't feel like bothering my dad for his paypal account...

[A7XRules4life]

Yeah, somehow I had money, and I gave my dad cash in exchange for ordering if offline.

[A7XRules4life]

Oh, Stemage, you should do one like this of Library!!

[bastianolea]

I bought your cd and i love ALL the songs! your music is impressive... i love it! Go stemage!

[A7XRules4life]

I think I just had an orgasm watching this, it's so great.

[PhazonNuke]

Great as always Grant!

[ImTheKobold]

Dude, awesome. You did metroid metal right? If so those were amazing, if not, you're still bad ass.

[PhazonNuke]

He did make the Metroid Metal songs...

[inamamani]

I would love to see a Stemage KURIKINTON (狐) duet... I would kill for it.

[buchanan012]

more more more!

[Kamen0]

this is the most totally awsome stemage video EVER!!!!

[Kamen0]

this is the most totally awsome stemage video EVER!!!!

[biloxigator]

I'm not even a minute in, and already, all I can think is,

"...Wow."

[ethanhunter]

I do like to watch you play that thar gwee-tar, sir. I especially like it when you move your hand up and down the frets really quickly such that your hand is just a blur for a half second. It's kind of like watching Bruce Lee fight except instead it's, you know, you playing guitar. I guess what i'm getting at is that you, sir, are the Bruce Lee of Rock n' Roll.

[StevenZed]

Great as always. Keep up the good work, Grant!

[FirePaperMario]

It would be cool if I met you spontaneously. I'll be the guy rambling about Metroid Metal.

[XPhazonmasterX]

omfg ur crazy at guitar.

i fell in love with metroid metal.

keep it up bro

[IPwnNubs13]

Dude, your album is awsome. I listen to it at least once daily.

Btw, what pickups do you use?

[A7XRules4life]

By the look of them, Carvin DC127 stock pickups. That's his guitar. A high quality, worth the money DC127. His amp is a Peavey Delta Blues. I think 115, I don't recall. =] Peavey amps are absolutely unbeatable. The Delta Blues and Valveking are my two all time favorite amps.

[Rael0505]

Can you really get this kind of tone out of a blues amp? I've seen a couple other youtube videos with the peavey delta blues and it seemed to sound completely different from what Stemage uses. And he told me he's not using pedals.

If I ever get the chance I'd love to try the amp out.

[A7XRules4life]

Me too. I want this kind of tone. It's so sweet.

[Elviolli]

Great stuff, man!

[guysome2]

haha yeah it is, im gonna try to learn it, it was my favorite on the album

btw, Elviolli you did the "secret of the forest" right ? i liked it lol *thumbs up*

[Elviolli]

Hahah, sweet. Glad you enjoyed it! So far it's still the only cool thing I've recorded. Some of my youtube vids aren't too bad...but I'm still a hack when it comes to acoustic guitar.
