ORTHRELM

[twistswitch]

Other realm!

[mioluce]

I think that for some weir reason, from all the weird avant-gardian artists, all the trolls seem to be falling on Orthrelm.

[morphuze]

it's probably a coincidense/irony, but i remember reading about some dude going up to them after a show and said "hey that was cool improvisation", and they were like "huh? we don't improvise!", and maybe this tune is like an exegerated reaction to that.. it's so repetitive that it's imposible for it to be "improvised", unless you believe they are able to win the lottery 100 times in a row, then yes it's ""random"", and amazing how they do the same ""random"" thing so many times, aka NOT random

[Torghest666]

Wiwiriwiwiwiwiriwiwiwiriwiwiww­iwiwiriwii

[huohvsa]

What? It would have continued??? Get me my money back!

[Blackmetalsausage]

I appreciate what these guys are doing and its really good, but how about 4 minutes instead of 10? but i think id still rather listen to Krallice

[freejazzfree]

as always youtube comments seems to be the largest gathering of small minds anywhere in the universe

[Intelligentia100]

Got to love the trolls, too bad Mick Barr is 50 times the musician they will ever be.... it's almost laughable at how good he is.

So trolls, can you do this? If not, then leave.

[busessuck1]

has this guy commited suicide yet?

[maxwolf333]

this is good but why the hell is it so repetitive?

[TheVampireSteve]

@maxwolf333 It's minimalism. Repetition is part of the style, unfortunately. I guess it's appealing if you're into that. Doesn't stop it fro being a good song, though.

[maxwolf333]

@TheVampireSteve you got me there.

[willeng84]

@maxwolf333 Well put. Its not to say its bad just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to repetitive. Throw in a change every few bars and make it like 6 minutes and I would even say how does this guy do it but this is using a guitar for repetitive almost percusive effect but its too much of the same.

[Nibbbling]

i like the bit where the long-haired dude plays the same bit really fast for a minute or two

[trumpetswim10]

i cant believe i just watched all 10:19 of this

[HybridZephirus]

@trumpetswim10

now you can divide by zero

[jeremynischuk]

so sensual...i love every singe sexy note..gods boner...hilarious

[tjadz]

This is what happens when a motorcycle goes down my street.

[yerafraud]

Wow, these guys make Rusty Cooley's alternate picking exercises sound musical.

[sugarybiscuits]

The shittest fucking band ever!

what a load of BOLLOX

[tanit80]

The comments on this video are very hilarious :)

[chriswright780]

aren't these guys playing at the Super Bowl this year?

[michealdark]

Well aren't you a productive little shit, Onyx?

[vincentizghra]

thank yoyu so much for this, amazing performance

[LiquidCruelty]

This is, to me, way more interesting than their old style

[aristacraticthug]

There timing is fuckin ill

[deathRUNor]

@aristacraticthug HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ITS FUNNY that you said that, because they are actually RIGHT on the beat. just because they use uncommon time signatures and polyrhythms that you dont understand doesnt mean the timing is off.

[aristacraticthug]

@deathRUNor  ill means good

[omfgitsblake]

i dont even have to smoke when listening to this

this alone makes me feel really high

[three9s]

@omfgitsblake

:) yep

[00sven00sven00]

im gonna play this on the train on my shitty one speaker phone! take THAT dumb kids and your lame auto tuned so called r and b!!

[irishrobotmonster]

this is class, i think i might like it sometime, but not yet

[discosodomi]

cool this is really impresive !!! good musicians but, the only thing is, it sounds like shit !!! I like this

[corruptedxsilence]

its very trance like and surreal, but i wouldn't expect that to come out of this kind of playing.. cool stuff

[unholycrap]

the stamina this requires must be ridiculous

[deathRUNor]

@unholycrap for sure. mick barr is a fucking BEAST, though he looks like the biggest nerd on the planet ha.

[MegaYoshitsune]

Thank God we still have some unique musicians

[deathRUNor]

@MegaYoshitsune agreed \m/

[onyx1304]

@MegaYoshitsune uniquely retard

[skullcrusher6]

when i grow up ill be a middle school music teacher and ill teach every grade to play this with fipple flutes :D

[Heretic5566]

This is so incredibley beyond fucking stupid.

[InvisibleRobotFish42]

FUCK YEAH OV

[tmschafer]

yeah - this is from OV

[rosplodj]

really enjoyed this... can anyone tell me is this improv or a performance of a recorded piece?

[SaintPrimus]

I think this must be from OV

[fastrnb]

@rosplodj

It's a piece, they don't improvise. 

[opensourceguitar]

I hate most music, but not this! I feel like fucking an ocean or two, how about you?

[bishop529]

what the fuck are you on

[dilnatmom]

fastest guitarist alive

[onyx1304]

@dilnatmom u high or sumthin? u call this fast? try gilbert

[popokaka88]

Extatic, hypnotizing, minimalistic.... Great work - Mick Barr eats coconuts!

[AySay1990]

FUCKING GROSS...

[turkeytrot123]

yeah buddy

[sefeed65]

Hahahaha, I can't believe I listened to 10 minutes of this stuff. Their precision is impressive.

[MatthewLicense]

All I hear is a load of random notes being hit at speed with random drum fills to back it. =/

[AddictedToFunAndMeth]

At least its not Pantera.

[onyx1304]

@MatthewLicense it is random... this guy doesnt even kno how to slow it down coz he is tryin to fool evryone that hes playin it on purpose haha

[TheBrutalD]

this kicks the shit out of classical music

[onyx1304]

@TheBrutalD noob

[Ghik1987]

so boring...so overrated

[chodeoverlord]

you're an idiot...dude is WAY underrated. go watch more videos about things fucking monkeys and leave your worthless opinions there moron.

[Ghik1987]

opinions must be respected...can't you have a normal talking?

open your tiny mind...i watch this video and so i comment it...where's the problem?

i cant understand why people get so aggressive on youtube...are you scared from who doesn't think like you?

[chodeoverlord]

dude...form proper sentences and then we can worry but respecting your opinions.

[Emil315]

In what way was that not a proper sentence?

I personally don't like Mick as his music is in my ears boring, and simply cacohonic etc. There's a difference of saying "MICK BARR SUCKS ASS!!!" and saying "I don't like Mick Barr" or "Mick Barr sucks ass imo"

[onyx1304]

@Emil315 if u say mick a great guitarist, its a sign that ur brain mabe failing haha

[leololozone666]

@onyx1304 whether you like his music or not....if you cant appreciate his ability then you are definately brain dead.....what the fuck are you trolling his vids for if you dont like it......go listen to wolfmother or somethin

[shug6009]

That's how the internet works:

Stick to sites where everyone agrees with you. Never get challenged. Keep the blinkers on forever.

I like it though.

[Zhalarasha]

win

[onyx1304]

@Ghik1987 ya clown being overated by clowns haha

[TimiHendrix86]

irl trolls

[leololozone666]

fuck you guys mick rules,,,

[onyx1304]

@leololozone666 KING MICK... Ruler of CLOWNS

[vtjt74X9]

some of you people make me sick! fu ck you! these guys will shread your di cks off with their riffs! and stop buying your "punk" records at the mall. blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh!

[onyx1304]

@vtjt74X9 isnt that a britney spears cd u got there in ur room

[flinginferrets]

he missed a note... f this

[onyx1304]

@flinginferrets he misses all notes, hell thats not even a note, NOOB

[HolySmokesTheSquire]

It's like a poor Wannabe Hella band...

Bland drumming and repetative guitar riffs, :(

[punxtr18]

Have you no knowledge of the song OV? Besides, Orthrelm doesn't have vocals :P

[crypstopher]

If you do a little research, Mick Barr does perform with Zach Hill. In that case, I would say they perform similar music, but not that they are wannabes.

[mebbmebbmibbmibb]

@HolySmokesTheSquire sorry...but orthrelm's first album came out in 2001

and hella's first came out in 2003 please expand your horizons

[gaddi28]

There's nothing to think about here...

This is boring

It's repetaive

Every riff sounds like the next one

And did I mention... it's repetative...?!

[AddictedToFunAndMeth]

It's pretty incredible someone who listens to The Locust can call this band repetitive. Or rather "repetaive," and "repetative."

[mebbmebbmibbmibb]

@gaddi28 to each their own...i love this....i feel sorry that you have the attention span of a commercial consuming american

[onyx1304]

@gaddi28 thats because this clown is creative(not), best guitarist(not), fastest(certainly not).... and a super RETARD!!.. thats because this clown is creative(not), best guitarist(not), fastest(certainly not).... and a super RETARD!!.. thats because this clown is creative(not), best guitarist(not), fastest(certainly not).... and a super RETARD!!.. thats because this clown is creative(not), best guitarist(not), fastest(certainly not).... and a super RETARD!!..

[heavymetalcripple]

sounds like a fucking game show. my mom told me to turn it off she was really annoyed it drove her crazy. she just killed herself. its still pretty cool song thing thou

[ITTNTB]

does anyone know if the drummer is in other bands? or other side projects?....oh and lets not forget this song is one of the best of all time

[Paulie88]

My man!

[ozeri]

Wow fuck'n Amazing . all you guys that hate this music / don't connectiong to this music : liten , this is not an usual thing to understand it , you need to b e realy into it to understand it . Mick barr believe in him music , he created sumthing very different - something tht is gonna be remembered after few years . we - the fans of brotal pro ( Orthrelm , Hella , Behold Etc ) - were all believe this . it's the entrace for a new era of thinkink man's metal !

[onyx1304]

@ozeri 1st, ur english sucks, 2nd u call this new era?? fuck u guys hv been sayin that this shit a new genre, era... but still its still has shit... coz theres no music in it... well its still under METAL... SHITTY CLOWN METAL!!

[jimrita]

totally. idiots.

[onyx1304]

@jimrita mick is retarded clown

[jimrita]

"sounds like all death metal"

yeah, all death metal bands avoid low frequencies.

[Muloc7253]

Complete shit

[1Killjoy1]

yes you are

[onyx1304]

@Muloc7253 agreed

[kapso66]

very good /// i listen this song for 5 hours very very good

[onyx1304]

@kapso66 no wonder ur english sucks... ur beginning 2 b a retard after listening 2 it haha

[3balljuggler]

They are extremely talented in many ways.

But I would go nuts trying to even listen to this stuff.

[punxtr18]

No doubt. But crazy is what the world needs sometimes. [/lame] Idk, it's entrancing for me...

[Jahsus]

Saw these in manchester ... think they supported the locust ... i really dont know how they remember it all.

[onyx1304]

@fuzzyfuzz because it is SHIT

[msurrealist]

mindless noodling

[3balljuggler]

TO say mindless is just the opposite.

To say non-musial is more like it. IMO

[onyx1304]

@3balljuggler retard guitarist is more appropriate

[onyx1304]

@msurrealist because mick is retard

[dodgyd55]

sounds like all death metal

[BigMikeV]

kill yourselves

[Giordie666]

fucking extreme! it's great!

[DonnyCaballero]

This song should be in Rock Band.

[xoid]

LOLLL

[punxtr18]

No, it should be taught in schools :P

[onyx1304]

@punxtr18 taught in school of CLOWNS

[yuser314159]

Please, tell me what the HELL is that ? a couple of super fast shred licks repeated over and over again...well i think this band has succeeded in the most difficult challenge ever taken : being more boring than drone doom...

[onyx1304]

@yuser314159 excuse me, 1st of all, its not superfast, 2nd, its not boring, its retard....LOL

[mradamcooley]

OV is great.

I'd like to get some tabs... not for OV, it's pretty easy to figure out.. but some of the other stuff isn't.

[onyx1304]

@mradamcooley dude it doesnt hv tabs, he played it randomly and repetatively... coz he doesnt kno what tabs are n hell he doesnt kno how 2 play a guitar LOL

[HolyKatana]

Mick needs to get rid of that Music Man amp. Music Man amps have a great clean tone, but I'm not a fan of their overdrive at all.

[thelatedavidsmith]

musicman owner here and i agree

[onyx1304]

@Arach agreed

[ccceizure]

This is pretty sweet. you know, mick barr's acoustic stuff is pretty cool too. i saw him do this cover of lionel ritchie's 'hello'. it was so sweet, tender. who knew he had such a breathy, whispery voice! he followed that up with some iron and wine and I think this john mayer cover. everyone was singing along by the end. soo magical.

[napalmdeath1001]

fucking awesome

[anapazapa]

ya know what's gecidurva about this? the whole song is written through. nothing in the time-line is improvised, apparently. and the pitches, they also seem to be minutely worked out. every bar is stiff. and neither makes one mistake, playing live - and they do not even look concerned about such earthly things as 'not making mistakes'. just playing.

oh dear.

[AmeeSigner]

Awesome band, OV is a pure masterpiece ! I love them

[onyx1304]

@AmeeSigner u stoned or sumthin son

[Darrylizer1]

Interesting, these guys have a unique sound to be sure, but it gets a little repetitive for me. I predict tendonitis in the guitarists future. Pretty manic stuff.

[hellogoodbye353]

2:00-5:30, the floor tom is a minor third to the guitar part.

[pizzaROX]

cool Hella played hear also.

[cullaumana]

OV!

[misterherman]

there's something religious ceremony/mass-like about this performance...awesome reinvention/application of the simple acoustics of a drum-kit and guitar riff.

[Roswellsounds]

Concentration, precision, memory!!!

This guys are simply fantastic...

People: this is NOT some heavy metal garbage, or some stupid shredder waving his grasy hair in a leather costume. This music is way beyond those very simple grounds.

To all you people who appreciate this, try to check out a modern composer called PHILIP GLASS, specially his works from the 60`s. There you will find Orthrelm`s big influence...

[onyx1304]

@Roswellsounds dude u call this a music... its way TOO simple to be a music, observe..

FACE - pretend to have soul

GUITAR - pretend to play fast/ randomly picking and fingering(without a tab) REPETATIVELY

then u can b a fucking mick barr or even more retarded mick barr

[Roswellsounds]

@onyx1304 Since you seem pretty clueless about music theory (specially when applied to this band in particular) you leave me no choice but to tell you to fuck off... Not gonna waste time here. Think what you want!

[zickery12]

love this song

[WahRR]

Interesting band, great song.

[RobinStarfighter]

I'm so sick of all you people out there who just can't give it a rest. Just because you don't like this - doesn't mean it's bad. It's hard to pull this off, and if you don't come up with something impressing yourself, you're just plain fucking stupid. Whine about something more important ffs.

"Duuh.. I can't understand.. why this is cool.. duuh... I hate it, it's gaayy... duuuuh" SO FUCKING EMBARRASSING.

[RobinStarfighter]

By the way, the clip was insanely boring, I agree. But they're still good at what they do, don't take that away from them.

[Virgilio53]

this is so boring, and non-musical

[onyx1304]

@Virgilio53 in other word - RETARD

[throwindembows]

it takes alot to make this ind of music. These guys are insanely talented and for someone to speak bad about them is just as insane.

[onyx1304]

@throwindembows dude u drunk?

[throwindembows]

@onyx1304 i was, lol... good eye.

[throwindembows]

@onyx1304 must have been. comment stands as is!

[BoundtoUnwound]

I have to say that this is the first experience for me hearing (or seeing) them. I will admit there is some due respect for that overall stamina and togetherness they share. It's a tight set. and the rhythmes are just being driven into the listener for the same reason Mick Barr-swaying your lumbering head in repeated sway.

[churchboose]

LULZ the first minute is just the same shit over and over again it sucks my anus farts

[JazzyFresh93]

omg i was laughing my ass off.hahaha!!! this shit sux.

[onyx1304]

@JazzyFresh93 hahahahahaha

[musicforspeeding]

The riff at 4:56 is amazing....oh man.

[JazzyFresh93]

wtf is wrong with u. this band sucks.

[Heyylouie]

go listen to red hot chili peppers or nickleback you fucking fag

[SunRaInSpace]

That was the most hypocritical statement ever. So you're saying The dog penis's and brokeback aren't queer and youre saying that they actually play music?

I heard their shit when i farted last night.

[Rivitedschmo16]

You cant play like they do.

you can barely breathe like they do.

[onyx1304]

@SunRaInSpace hahahahaha

[Rivitedschmo16]

Fuck your Clear Channel. With yer Nickelback

[onyx1304]

@Heyylouie dude they got millons of dollars 4 their music, mick just got som retards who worship him

[onyx1304]

@JazzyFresh93 theyre retards...

[ChrstopherNeilHoward]

my mom just came in and said "what're you playing a game?".i said just said yea lol i couldnt just listen to it but i love watching this motherfucker play!

[pstl85]

Am I the only one who loves mick barr's hair?

[podycheck]

I've really wondered how the guitarist keeps from breaking his strings. OV is actually kind of fun to listen to all the way through. You have to take it as a whole.

[khalithistle]

this just sounds like a cassette rewinding, what the hell's the point. and the guy who compared it to steve reich has to be kidding

[mikeofdoom]

Play us a fucking riff you noodley dweebo.

[onyx1304]

@mikeofdoom dude he just learnt how to play a guitar, give mick a break hahahahaha

[exex1]

this is too good to be true.

[kinx001]

this sounds to me just like some practicing guitarist  :)) except that in stead of metro, there's real drummer playing some annoying stuff

[jimrita]

how anyone can say this is just guitar nodding is beyond me. if you listen to it all the way through, you'll notice how well it was arranged and orchestrated... how as the album goes along, it gets more and more complex, until finally it just turns into light-speed shredding, the crescendo... it's a masterpiece.

[onyx1304]

@jimrita lightspeed??? man ur brain must be slow callin this shit lightspeed... owh ur retarded after listening to mick's song hahahaha

[antimax]

This band's amazing, but I'm sorry, the OV album sucks... The thing I love about their music is that they never play the same thing twice, but on OV, that's almost all they do...

[UnDeux]

But it grows on you, like most minimalism does...

[antimax]

I can understand that... but not for me.

[zacharyan]

that's the point. one track, no song titles, long stretched out chunks of music. it's a trance inducing minimalist work. i like their other stuff as well. (iorxhimitor is great)

[jimrita]

i'll second that

[TalonTheater]

Orthrelm - Satan's hold music.

[punxtr18]

Jesus and Satan are overrated. Don't equate Mick's work with that fictional idea ever again.

[onyx1304]

@punxtr18 MICK is an OVERATED CLOWN

[ASRCA2006]

ich stimme omoikane teilweise zu, aber die welt braucht querdenker wie diese

[omoikane666]

Just a lot of guitar noddling and not a lot of creativity really. Yeah, they are really good musicians but that doesn't mean anything when your music is really dull.

[jimrita]

this whole portion of Ov, on this video, is my favorite part of the whole album. awesome.
