This is incredible, I never noticed the harmonics or the synth effects toward the end of the song. I agree, he needs his tracks turned up in the albums. All the members of Protest the Hero are just too good.
I suppose they wrote music that was too difficult to play, and then practiced and practiced to get good enough to play. Kezia was written before they were able to play it.
This is what I do. I'm writing pieces for when I start a progressive metal band. I use guitar pro and tab the rhythm i'm thinking of and the pitch. Then I can hear what it sounds like when you actually get it out. I'll learn it later. :P
Wow. Hearing Arif's bass so naked like this really strikes home why everyone calls him such a great bass player. Magnificent. PTH really need to mix him higher in their songs.
The reason why they don't mix him higher is because they also need to include 2 lead style guitars, and alot of kick bass....the whole sound might fall apart if they did.
I mean, I agree on some tracks he could be louder; but I have no problem picking him out
@BraveUlysses01 Thats the track he recorded in the studio, not mixed at all, just pure sound. and thats a fucking great sound. and if you have seen them life, he brings this tune life too. You can't play that mixed up and perfect you hear on the album without mixing and fixing. if you ever recorded in a studio or played live you would know better.
@BraveUlysses01 ao true, but to do that they really to do something about the bas tone in general. turned up any higher in the mix and that tone would sound like butthole
lool speakin of moe and arif, ive met them both in person, and got the pleasure of smoking a few joints with them :):) protest is a solid band, and the members are sickkk ppl
It's almost as if this is a completely different song with just the drums and bass, I love it

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I covered this and found a better sounding harmonic.
After the harmonic riff when he slows down, do the Eb and Gb 5th fret, the Eb and Gb 7th fret, the your 7-9-7. It sounds very nice.
