SEZAAM - Flames of Damask

[yourealldeadlikeme]

2:56 sounds like after the burial, alot.

[OnotoleMD]

Karen, say something at last, are you planning a tour? I'd love to absorb this song at a live jam. Make some EU and CIS trip. We got a kickass set from Vildhjarta in Russia last month and now we're waiting for you, djentlemen.

[Skulldaman]

I love your music. You're a true artist; we need more people like you. Much love.

[dannycassy]

The gods of all rock and metal demand an album from you Karen Grigoryan.. Deny this request and your soul shall be imprisoned for eternity!

Wow this is amazingly amazing music :D

I spy a penis in the first minute of this video :o

[DylTwentyFourSeven]

Karen, you should make a video exlpaining what this solo project of yours is, what inspired you to make it and help people understand your not in Sumatra anymore haha.

[disembowel6669]

you even do the drums here? 

[Jaker462]

Man...i'm seriously lovin your style, one that doesnt flow in the sea of oversaturated metal, but a buoy amongst a few standing out in such a vast ocean.

[SteeleInd]

Hey man, I hate to be that guy, but do you use Pod for your tones? If so, would you be willing to share your tone patch? Your tone is monstrous.

[iama619]

Who in their right mind OR their left mind could dislike this?

[1337rh]

are you still in sumatra?

[muffinman46721]

@1337rh no hes not

[ToRqC]

Большое тебе спасибо Карен,за то,что вдохновляешь

[SmashingPinatas]

But this is fucking incredible.

[kapral18]

[Darbukum]

здравствуй Карен!Я делаю тоже такую музыку с восточным колоритом,мне очень нравится.Правда не в дженте,а полегче.Буду благодарен,если ты послушаешь мои композиции и скажешь свое мнение.Можно посмотреть на моем канале

[raptor990]

your music is mind blowing man keep doing what your doing and making peoples ears jizz from joy

[Greasyxx]

this is really fucking good :D

[smokingcore]

красавчик, карен ;)

[MrBlackieee]

IT`S EPIC

good luck in ur own creativity.

[Burn1ngTheMasses]

what scale are you using through this man it sounds sick

[Plague413]

@Burn1ngTheMasses Phrygian dominant but he throws some other stuff in there occassionally

[poiuytrewq95]

i was just curious... do u know any music theory and what approach do you use to aplly it to your guitar? your an amazing guitarist by the way

[Balkasak]

Awesome :) What scales you use ?

[animosityxxx]

Amazing...

[AsDemonsBurn]

@yell0hfrend hey, dude. I really like this song and Winds Toward Sezam, Sumatra is watered down with breakdowns, WITHOUT breakdowns and bullshit faux-brutal garbage I would listen to it all the time. You guys are pretty much all fanboys of Karen so I can expect backlash for not being one.

[Skulldaman]

brilliant!

[RaptorrJesuss]

excellent work man this shits amazing

[PhantomSocke]

Reminds me a little bit of Winds towards Sezam ;)

[Alkarin11]

I love your solo work so much, the east-esque harmonic minor sounds have always been my favourite.

[schectermartin69]

dude i love this sooooo much thanks for creating this

[youngcristian]

this song have fragments of "flamenco" harmonies

reggards from spain

[Whatheheckman]

Oh btw Karen hope you are keeping up with After Burials new stuff =D Their new album comes out in 5 days and there is a full preview of the album on amazon.com if you go to the MP3 Download section and search After the Burial. Their new stuff is amazing from what I've heard so far =)

[Curbst0mped]

love these heavy riffs dude keep it up what tuning is this in?

[lackthereof1783]

@Curbst0mped 8 string tuning. lol i would imaging because it really brings out the higher notes which is the main focus

[MetalOfAllOwns]

Hey Karen, So as soon as i heard this i had to Download your songs. and i Blast them on my phone at work and on my way to work.. there so fucking awsome man !.. thank you for letting us enjoy your music for no charge. but i would love to buy an album or something at some point.. so please keep this shit up ! your awsome !!!

[cakesen]

you are my favourite guitarist. Pure motivation!

[FrttMs]

Goddamn Karen, this track is really, really good! Keep on doing this man!

Oh, and how's it going with Sumatra? ;)

[SethWTFF]

Karen I love both your solo work AND Sumatra and it pains me to see all of these people who probably don't know the first thing about music talking so much shit about your creations. Keep on rocking man, your music is fucking amazing.

[TsarDragon]

@SethWTFF I love the hardcore breakdowns and all that in Sumatra. I also love the solo project of his, his djent, and his great piano pieces.

[666HendrikB666]

reminds on winds towards sezam, very nice geezer, go on with this.

[666HendrikB666]

reminds on winds towards sezam, very nice geezer, go on with this

[666HendrikB666]

remind on winds towards sezam, very nice geezer, go on with this

[GranCaida]

i love your solo music. who does the drums and bass? do you do them all, does members from sumatra help you?

[kapral18]

@GranCaida thnx. Drums and bass are recorded in fl studio by me. It`s my solo project so no one of sumatra is involved in this projct.

[lackthereof1783]

@kapral18 wait. you record the drums? like you play them? lol i thought they were a drumming program or something! props man

[Plague413]

@kapral18 You play drums?

[jerbre]

Youre the best Karen. I love youre stuff

[MichaelSDeJesus]

I like the bass mang sounds loaded

[luisantos1986]

i came one hundred tousand million times with this song

[Mithologian]

Hopefully, this is what Sumatra will sound like from now on. Not theyre bad, but with this added they'd be beast. Btw, the pics are nice but id preffer to see you playing :P just saying

[kapral18]

@Mithologian no sumatra won`t sound like this because it`s my own project not Sumatra songs Sumatra will continue its path in deathcore progressive music

[Mithologian]

@kapral18 oh well. You guys are sick either way so it doesnt matter :D

[AsDemonsBurn]

@kapral18 take the deathcore bullshit out of sumatra or continue to be a watered down band. Your choice. Breakdowns = lazy songwriting. Your solo stuff thrives because it isn't bogged down by generic JUMPDAFUCK UP YEAH HERE COMES THE BREAKDOWN parts. Also, please stop singing. Its really, really horrible autotune attack attack-esque

[yutaNshit0]

@AsDemonsBurn um, i disagree with that. let him do whatever he wants

[kapral18]

@AsDemonsBurn check out my "unnamed and tragic" song where I do sing naturally and other songs or covers mine with vocals. The autotune was used once by the choice of our soundengineer on sumatra album anyway u can check out how I do sing on our live video

[TsarDragon]

@AsDemonsBurn Ehh... Deathcore is Sumatra is, don't like it? Fuck off! If breakdowns are lazy I don't care it sounds fucking awesome

[Whatheheckman]

@AsDemonsBurn Just shut up, He can make his music however the fuck he wants, if you don't like it go make the music you like yourself. Karen has unlimited amounts of talent and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. Keep singing Karen it sounds great ;) and keep making music you're a genius =D!!!!

[sauron610]

@AsDemonsBurn Have you ever listened to Meshuggah? Can you comprehend the tireless work and how much talent and intelligence it takes to write songs like Rational Gaze or Spasm? You are referring to a COMPLETELY different group of people than us, I suggest you go take your poorly thought out bullshit somewhere else. We are mostly musicians on this page, so if you want to troll scenster deathcore, go troll Attack Attack and shut the fuck up. We don't like assholes ruining our musical experience.

[AsDemonsBurn]

@sauron610

can you be any more butthurt? What does Meshuggah have anything to do with anything. I don't give a fuck about how "intelligent" or "talent" it takes to write a goddamn song, listen to music because it sounds good. I'm pretty sure I'm not ruining anything, so fuck off I can express my opinion.

[sauron610]

@AsDemonsBurn Does not change the fact that your opinion is fucking retarded and as a result you've lost all speaking privileges.

Here's some advice.

1. Rethink life thus far.

2. Try again.

[AsDemonsBurn]

@sauron610

learn to differentiate facts and opinions, son. Deathcore is watered down death-metal, and Karen used auto-tune on Sumatra. Deal with it. 

[ridefour15]

the kick drum style is different than a lot of djenty bands, and i like it.

good stuff all around man

[inuyo93]

Epic

[therealgtarbeast666]

loveing this

[beanbagman0039]

You should get some blackouts in that eighty, heard they sound better than the stock 808's

[harrisoneatsairplane]

Karen, you need to take your little project to new heights man. You have an incredible amount of talent that people want to hear, especially in the US.

[1337rh]

first view. max nice job karen

[FatFingersRock]

AWESOME!
