[darkshadow203699]

you have all the gear that i want, its unfair haha! wicked cover man, fair play really like it!

[TylerBermuda]

i must have this axefx patch

[herculesplayinguitar]

hey dude!

are you still playing guitar ? havent heard any new covers from you in a long time, but could you do a cover on insolence-poison well ?

[cataclysmichael]

@herculesplayinguitar

I haven't quit, but haven't got around to play much the past year unfortunately :/ I did just learn a song from a band that a few have requested though, so I'll try to make a video of that in the holidays or something. I checked out that insolence song, but there isn't much guitar in it, mostly bass, hehe.

[herculesplayinguitar]

@cataclysmichael yeah true, i listened tto the song later on that day and realized there is no much guitar there and btw i live in norway so lets talk norwegian :D

kan du kansje ta trivium-in waves ? eller noe med deftones ? =)

[cataclysmichael]

@herculesplayinguitar

Deftones, definitivt Deftones. Et av favorittbandene, men vet ikke om en gitar-video av dem er så interessant. Er jo litt "kjedelig" gitar, hvis du skjønner hva jeg mener :P

Men har tenkt på Deftones mange ganger, så før eller siden blir det nok en video med dem :D

[herculesplayinguitar]

@cataclysmichael kult om du hadde tatt my own summer ;) eller back to school :)

[Dethsquirrel]

did you do this in Ab standard instead of drop Ab?

[cataclysmichael]

@Dethsquirrel

Yes.

[davo664]

You look like Gibbs from NCIS, AND youre an insane player !

[krowcing]

Dude you're a beast! Awesome work!

[Lukehontas]

i would kill for your engl amp ...

[Rickles]

Awesome cover! What kind of pickups are those?

[cataclysmichael]

@Rickles

DiMarzio X2N-7 + Q-tuner high Z

[ArcaneBastard]

Sick tone man.

[CalebinthekeyofC]

wish i could have 7k worth of gear just sitting in my bedroom

[cataclysmichael]

@CalebinthekeyofC

You can. Just take a loan as I did (sucks to pay it back though)

[teamSKDM]

@CalebinthekeyofC Its about 9k. maybe even 10k. lol. i mean axefx=2k, his carvins gotta be about 2k, engl head is about 2/3k, No idea on his cabs, lets say theyre 500 bucks which im sure theyre much more expensive than that. hes got a jeff hannemen behind him, something else, and i want to guess an ibanez rga-8. all that totals about 9 grand probaly. lol.

[Cube993]

money + talent = endless possibilities.

[cataclysmichael]

@Cube993

Wish I had one of them :P

[penam7300]

Wow. This is almost same.

[Jo3guy17]

You my good sir are a djentleman. Great tone and quality your rig sounds awesome! Great cover man.

[Magic2312]

Among the best covers I've seen on YouTube. Great job!

[PAblotubedrummer]

Great Cover!!! Congratulations!!!

[eatmyad]

Excellent work dude!!! Playing is tight as hell and ur tone sounds awesome!

[dirtbikeflipper]

Camera?

[cataclysmichael]

@dirtbikeflipper

Sony HDR-SR11 Handycam

[jimchippington]

my god :O what guitar is that ? its beautiful !!!

[cataclysmichael]

@jimchippington

Carvin :)

[Icarusdied]

@cataclysmichael what would you say your favorite set of pickups are? qtuner?

[cataclysmichael]

@Icarusdied

Hmmm... probably Lundgrens or EMGs..

[XFrozenmetal]

Hi =) What tunning are you using for this song on a seven string ?

[cataclysmichael]

@XFrozenmetal

I used standard Ab, but I think it's originally in drop Ab

[XFrozenmetal]

@cataclysmichael Ab is G# Right ?

[cataclysmichael]

@XFrozenmetal

It's the same yes.

[staplercut]

@cataclysmichael and what string gauge is that?

[cataclysmichael]

@staplercut

I use a 009 set. Pretty flobby, but I like it.

[no5eh]

what pick-ups are those?

[cataclysmichael]

@no5eh

DiMarzio X2N-7 and q-tuner high-z

[1123vljhut]

OSAKAwwwww

[NoaOno]

You alive mate?

[cataclysmichael]

@NoaOno

Yes, I am.

[decimater75]

i saw your bleed cover a few months ago and then this, sick. Whoever disliked this is rebecca black by default.

[iRaiseTheDead]

Damn you and your axe-fx.

[Lazzari89]

hey dude did u do any mods into the guitar for the pickups size ?? I've been told that normal carvin pickups are smaller than dimarzios or SD

[cataclysmichael]

@Lazzari89

With dimarzios you can just cut the mounting og the pickup slightly as it's made of plastic. That make them fit. I had it routed by a guy though.

[HyPeRUnKoMaN]

Osaka!!!!

[KawamurAsun]

Absolutely amazing !!! Besides you look like Arnold Schwarzenegger -2:00 !!Cool !!

[Rhoads93]

What guitar is that? its so sick!

[cataclysmichael]

@Rhoads93

Carvin DC727

[hotlion81]

@cataclysmichael Carvin rocks!

[andrashun92]

sick :) you're good with odd time!

[TheMetalxSean]

Best cover I've seen. Solid playing! Very smooth, great layering, fantastic equipment! 6/5 stars.

[cataclysmichael]

@TheMetalxSean

Thank you! :)

[lolekebaben]

Digger coveret!! sykt gjennomført! Du er det norske svar på Fearedse :P

[cataclysmichael]

@lolekebaben

Takk takk. Jeg har holdt på et par år lengre da ;)

[Valkyrjah]

I usually don't like watching covers. But this was really good!

[cataclysmichael]

@Valkyrjah

Thanks man :)

[Owen6669]

Make a video without the crappy vocals! Periphery sucks so much just because the vocalist is appalling! /rant

[cataclysmichael]

@Owen6669

Casey Sabol (which did the vocals on this version) is one of my favorite vocalists, so I don't think so. I respect your opinion though.

[Owen6669]

@cataclysmichael Fair enough, i didn't express my opinion very eloquently unfortunately ^^

I just download the songs from Bulb's soundclick so those are all instrumental : )

This was the first song i ever heard from periphery/bulb and my mate played it to me, and i was amazed until the vocals : (

Shame its not more like SikTh or FellSilent (My mate Joe was the vocalist of FS) they were sick!

[cataclysmichael]

@Owen6669

I know what you mean. Happened to me many times. Love the music of a band except for the vocals totally ruining everything, haha.

[chickenluva1]

how do you have so much money>

[cataclysmichael]

@chickenluva1

I don't.

[chickenluva1]

@cataclysmichael how do you have all this nice ass gear haha

[cataclysmichael]

@chickenluva1

I don't, haha. Ok, I do, except for the engl which I sold.

Here's how. I don't waste money on alcohol, smoke etc. I drink water instead of soda++ Everything adds up. I got rid of my car (that's AT LEAST a guitar each year right there, haha). I've had like 1 week of vacation all together the last couple of years. I also had a loan for a couple of years on some of the stuff, which I paid back a couple of months ago, finally. So it's just until recently I actually OWN my gear, hehe.

[chickenluva1]

@cataclysmichael Haha, if you sold your car HOW DO YOU GO PLACES? Very solid shit dude. I have a inanez RG7321 with an aftermath in the bridge, a 6505 head, and a vader 4x12. I really want to get an axe fx ultra though, i just need a way to get cash haha

[cataclysmichael]

@chickenluva1

I got a bicycle instead, haha. Also, here in Norway there's buses, trams, trains and subways all over the place. At least here I live. Not as convenient, but cheaper... And my girlfriend have a car, so that helps too :P

Now that the axe-fx 2 have come you can probably get the first one for cheap. Unless you want the latest and greatest... I'm more than happy with the first one so I'm not going to upgrade. Wish it had headphones jack and usb though...

[chickenluva1]

@cataclysmichael Nice! I live in a really small town in northern wisconsin, so theres no transportation, and my band practice is twenty miles away:/

Yeah! I would be MORE then happy with an ultra, I have a pod for an interface so neither a headphone jack or usb is a problem

[PathogenProductions]

Fuck your tone is bitchin.

[WTSFguitar4EVR]

you're really good my friend :)

[Neltheros]

Mike, may i ask which recording software do u use?

[cataclysmichael]

@Neltheros

Logic

[Neltheros]

@cataclysmichael thanks!

[FirstSplitter]

great cover bro ;) take a look at mine :)

[cataclysmichael]

@FirstSplitter

You even got that incredible annoying window-water thing, haha, that's great!

[DanteLeblanc]

Lol. Get it, gurl.

[czudor59]

Bingo! 

[mattnsim]

how does it compare for you against playing Meshuggah's Bleed?

[cataclysmichael]

@mattnsim

Bleed is more difficult.

[H3lloSE]

@cataclysmichael u serious? I prefer playin bleed then thisxD This is sooo much more complex xD

[wolfman109h]

perfect djent :)

[MrKoheed1]

BEAST.

[cataclysmichael]

@UltimateGajeel

Only this one. I haven't tried any of the other ones.

[samathanwataguan]

I love how this has more views than the actual music video haha.

[MourisCZE]

oh my.. do you have a band or something ?



[cataclysmichael]

@FreeByrd007

I use a DR 'tite-fit' 009 set.

[ConceptsProject]

Why is it only showing my views?

[cataclysmichael]

@ConceptsProject

What do you mean?

[ConceptsProject]

@cataclysmichael I've watched this 150,000. At least. But you only have 150,000 views?

[cataclysmichael]

@ConceptsProject

Haha. So that's why it got so many views, thanks! Looks like 296 others have seen it too though :P

[wowaccpass]

good cover and everything, but do me a favor; Stop swing with your head! it looks rediculus with short hair :) 5/5 thumbs up and so on

[xBornxOfxOsirisx]

If you want to hear more brutal groove/tech death, go check out Ænimus. Type it into youtube - Ænimus - 'The Awakening' Such a sick song.

[cataclysmichael]

@xBornxOfxOsirisx

Not a fan of the vocals :P

[Mushamashi987654]

you should. pretty intense

[leowang6418]

Hello, I like your guitar it sound very awesome!!

What are your gears all you use?

Do you use Marshall JMP-1 to create this awesome tone?

[cataclysmichael]

@leowang6418

All I used was the axe-fx :)

[Mushamashi987654]

do you ever do veil of Maya? might be fun.

[cataclysmichael]

@Mushamashi987654

Haven't really checked them out yet.

[ajaxb52]

Hey dude what i wanna know your head cab and pedal setup asap man cause it sounds amazing and i notice the engl invader nice mate

[cataclysmichael]

@ajaxb52

All I used was the axe-fx.

[ajaxb52]

@cataclysmichael then i know what im getting :)

[Korn32freak]

Pretty awesome job man, you should make a cover of oxmodius or frak the gods.

[haklbarry2]

haha np :D my english isnt the best =)

[martinlutherkingIII]

epic man this band is awesome

[blast3000]

Yoour tone is incredible!!! What pickups are you using?

[cataclysmichael]

@blast3000

Thanks!

Dimarzio x2n in the bridge and a q-tuner in the neck.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@cataclysmichael Of course it's Dimarzio if it sound's that Fucking awesome. =D

[pR1sooeem]

@blast3000

he did a "gear tour" in one of his videos, but to answer ur question: DiMarzio X2N-7 and Q-tuner high z

[MrIKTPQ4life]

This guy must have a very large penis.

[haklbarry2]

@MrIKTPQ4life Yes... i think he can fuck hisself..

[MrIKTPQ4life]

@haklbarry2 It's "himself" not "hisself".

[haklbarry2]

@MrIKTPQ4life true :D

[MrIKTPQ4life]

@haklbarry2 Sorry for acting like a grammar cop, it's just a habit.

[Marsell88]

why on earth do you use a rack with an ENGL head! :D i mean, ENGL alone is a monster... but still! coll, very very cool! :)

[XplodingGuy]

i want ur house

[BlackValkyire]

cool to watch, good playing!

[cataclysmichael]

@BlackValkyire

Thanks man!

[S33k66D3STR0Y]

i dont know if anyone has mentioned this or if you already know about them, but there is a band from the UK called Haken. you should check out there stuff, id recommend drowning in the floods

[cataclysmichael]

@S33k66D3STR0Y

Checked it out. Not bad. Sounded like a mix of very many bands. But it didn't make me go 'wow'

[westwalesphotography]

This sounds much better with your playing :) , great tone

[drumsmetalheavy11]

18 people are jelous assholes, great job man! you rule!

[macintirekyler]

you have like the exact same rig as bulb.. axe fx and engl invader.... im jealous

[pinheadpizza]

dude i fucking love you for having a carvin 7 string; i have one too except it has a much different finish and only 2 volume knobs. awesome cover though. btw, is the bridge pick up a bareknuckle or another q tuner?

[cataclysmichael]

@pinheadpizza

Carvin = Win.

It's a dimarzio x2n in the bridge.

[pinheadpizza]

@cataclysmichael thanks man, and btw have you ever thought about doing an after the burial cover?

[cataclysmichael]

@pinheadpizza

I ordered in dreams last year, but still haven't got it. The order just says 'Awaiting Stock'. But when I get it I may feel the need to make a video of them :P

[ox0Jason0xo]

really awsome cover of this only afew bends were off nicely done

[fenderchamp93]

excellent cover! u should check out mine nd lemme know what u think its not perfect but yet. no ones is i messed up alil on the solo but check it out

[cataclysmichael]

@fenderchamp93

Thanks man!

Are you playing unplugged? That's no fun, Have to crank that shiz up! :P

[darkhero101010]

what tunning is it/?

[Buchy1369]

@darkhero101010 drop g#

[spacemonkeyzass]

Awesome!

[loborneta]

Thats an AXE FX right? And I dont like this vid because you can get so much better sounds out of that thing.

but thumb up anyway =)

[zjeeper9]

nice monk haircut you rat bastard!

[swedenrockrules]

polyrhythms...only for real metal die harders

[meah941]

Hey man, great cover! If you don't mind me asking, what would did you choose for your carvin?

[cataclysmichael]

@meah941

Thanks!

What "would" I chose? I guess you mean wood? If so, koa neck with maple stripes, swamp ash wings and quilted maple top. And birdseye maple fretboard.

[meah941]

@cataclysmichael

Woops, haha sorry about that, I did mean wood. Thanks for the info

[RingoFreakingStarr]

I usually love your tone but I wasn't really feeling it in this one.... :/

[ConceptsProject]

Quick question mate! What software did you use to edit the video?

[cataclysmichael]

@ConceptsProject

Final Cut

[iBaNeZk566]

your good bro, howbout a cover of Born of osiris- follow the signs. or whatev by boo

[cataclysmichael]

@iBaNeZk566

Thanks. I'll check that song out :)

[ThatItalianGuyTil]

First order of business: This kicks like 4 kinds of ass.

Second order of business: There wouldn't happen to be a tab, would there? Or was this by ear?

Third order of business: Standard F#-e tuning?

[cataclysmichael]

@ThatItalianGuyTil

Thanks!

There are tabs, just google it.

Tuning: Drop Ab (I play it in standard Ab in this video though)

[MetalDrummer09]

GOD THIS IS SUCH AN EARGASM!

[Erithlon]

I really want an axe fx ultra!

Its so expensive though.......

[cataclysmichael]

@Erithlon

Less expensive than buying 200 tube amps. The axe would still be more versatile compared to the 200 amps though ;)

[Icarusdied]

@cataclysmichael Hey man, i just did a cover of this song. really rough but it sounds better than i expected. Im using the X3 pro in this one too, so thanks for helping me pick it out!

[cataclysmichael]

@Icarusdied

I'm more impressed by your AAL cover! Wow.

Want to send me a tab of that beginning sweep?

[thisiskenney]

that's a beautiful head you have back there

[cataclysmichael]

@hatecore64

Around $2000

[cataclysmichael]

@hatecore64

That's what's awesome about Carvin, you can choose your own specs, and you still get a good price!

I sent them a mockup I made. I don't remember what the colors was called, but I can find out if you want to know... I have the order pdf some place on this computer :P

[1230hagen]

you're hair looks like something from the 50's. You my friend are a badass.

[cataclysmichael]

@1230hagen

Make bulb, not war.

[Icarusdied]

@cataclysmichael i redid a bunch of my older songs, along with this one. come tell me what you think!

[TeamTwinsanity]

@cataclysmichael Or make djent not war. D:

[Thelordbaphomet]

@cataclysmichael Hey, are you Arnold Schwarzenegger's hidden son? Cause you sure look like him heheh but instead of muscles you got the shredding skills \m/

[cataclysmichael]

@Thelordbaphomet

Arrh...arrrrgh arh arh arrgh!

But seriously, I'll start to work out like crazy from now on to make the look-a-like complete. Just give me a couple of years and... "I'll be back!"

[Thelordbaphomet]

@cataclysmichael Hahahah awesome, just dont forget to keep on working out those fingers cz they do a great job up till now ;)

[Bugohab]

where did you get this recording?! isn't that Travis Orbin drumming?

[cataclysmichael]

@Bugohab

Bulbs soundclick. I think he removed it later on though. That's superior drummer drumming... but programmed by travis I think yes :P

[nostealthebucket9009]

Awesome, a qtuner! what is the other pickup? what model q tuner is it? awesome playing, man.

[cataclysmichael]

@nostealthebucket9009

the q-tuner is high z and the bridge pickups is a dimarzio x2n..

Thanks!

[nostealthebucket9009]

@cataclysmichael did you have to do any routing to fit the pickups?

[cataclysmichael]

@nostealthebucket9009

Not with the dimarzio. They have plastic mounts so you can just a little of the sides of them and it´ll fit.

If it´s not plastic mounts you have to do a little routing. Just a tad.

[nostealthebucket9009]

@cataclysmichael awesome, thanks, i just got my dc727 on wednesday.

[cataclysmichael]

@nostealthebucket9009

Congrats. Show me pics! :)

[nostealthebucket9009]

@cataclysmichael hell yeah! i'll send you a link once i finally take the pics!!! :D

[avenge10]

tuning ?

[JoelGeetar]

think your guitar was in the wrong tunings during the solo but very good work

[vdjn55]

Awesome cover! I'd give it a 4.5/5. Why? Because the solo at 2:09 sounded kind of weird. I think your bends were a bit too much.

Other than that, it was a solid cover! Btw, what were those sounds at the end of the video? They were creepy lol

[milan215]

@vdjn55 i think the bends were a cool touch :)

[cataclysmichael]

@milan215

I wasn't used to have that low tuning with that thin gauge on the strings, so it was very easy to overdo the bends, I thought it sounded kinda cool with bends like that though, so I just kept it that way :P

Good to hear someone else liked it! Finally.

[milan215]

@cataclysmichael

Yeah man its awesome lol i liked it that much i put your vid on my facebook wall for everyone to see :)

[cataclysmichael]

@milan215

Thanks man :)

[worldsanoyster]

can i comment?you are amazing!hehe!;-)
