New Jeff Loomis Video from his Album!

[Cyntex]

Lol, I was just about to post this, sounds wicked! The vocal sounds sweet too.

 

[RearyGay]

jeff has been playing like this for over a decade though. it kinda sucks that the better he gets with his technique the less creative he gets. This pretty much sounds like a tribute to becker/friedman with 7 string chugging.

listen to how this solo develops from 2:55.



His solos used to have the most sinister atmosphere. It was vibe/song first, solo second. Hasn't been like that since Dead Heart.

Exactly.

Tiananmen Man is a masterpiece. Nevermore's albums up to Dreaming Neon Black were sheer works of art, after that everything was just cool, but it lost that atmosphere and appeal.

Early Nevermore is by far, for me, the greatest band.

 

[TheFerryMan]

Seeing Loomis with The safety fire, Periphery and Protest the hero.

So many buckets. so many.

 

[Sikthness]

Man, Loomis and Ihsahn should do a CD together.

 

[Leaper]

Man, Loomis and Ihsahn should do a CD together.

Speaking of which, the Ihsahn track is available for listening.

New Loomis playthrough

 

[ilovefinnish]

holy sh... i loved those ending sweeps!!!!!!

 

[Mwoit]

So many solos.

 

[Lagtastic]

Requiem for the living is nasty. His technique just keeps getting better somehow.

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

Can't wait to see him on 4/14!

 

[Stealth7]

Another new song

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Love Loomis.


That being said, I was very much disappointed. Everything he puts out feels like a rehash of the same riffs and licks from Nevermore's last three albums.

Yep.

 

[TGN]

Really liked Requiem for the Living. Looking forward to the album.

 

[Static]

Requiem for the Living seems like the "Miles of Machines" of this album.

well judging from from the songs that have been out so far, its obvious his playing has gotten much better...its much more cleaner and clear sounding and i love his vibratos as usual..very tastefully done.

That being said, I'm not that amazed by what I've heard so far.The 4 songs that I've heard till now are great but just didn't have the wow factor (this coming from a mighty loomis/nevermore fan).

The ultimatum was my favorite and the arpeggios in RFTL is was really fun to listen to.Hopefully the rest of the album will have something even better than what I've heard till now (really hoping the tracks with christine rhodes kicks ass).

 

[murakami]

holy... fuck...

i thought of jeff loomis as a guitar god when i heard his first
solo album, but this... amazing that he can improve on top
of what he already accomplished.
