➡️ It’s time to get heavy again here on Low End University with JOB FOR A COWBOY! Their 2014 album “Sun Eater” is frequently mentioned when the topic of ‘killer bass performances’ comes up, and bassist Nick Schendzielos offers a masterful demonstration on how to cut through a dense death-metal composition (and mix!) In this video, I hear “Sun Of Nihility” for the first time and quickly pick up on his method of “slipping through the cracks” when the guitar or drums lay back - even for just a few seconds! The sustained guitar chords offer a playground of notes for the bass to follow behind with, and the throaty Warwick tone announces its presence perfectly. I also discuss his bass-fill phrasing, extra usage of slides to create a more “lyrical” sound, tips on writing bass parts like this in YOUR music, discussion on the Phrygian Dominant sound used in this track, and much more.

Job for a Cowboy is so damn underrated. Sure everyone remembers doom, but everything they've done after that has been better. Looking forward to their new album next year
Doom was always my least favorite. As soon as Genesis dropped Doom was obsolete.
nick is dope, check out his cephalic carnage stuff
@@nation5478 The intro of Abraxas of Filth yeee boiii
@@azazelwalks9081 I’m not into it either, but with basslines like this how could you not lol
Ruination is my favorite album from them, I love all their albums but Ruination is just something else. Perfectly orchestrated from front to back. Looking forward to their new album in 2024
I wish every bass was this prominent in the mix.
Wow, glad to see this album get some shine. It's an incredibly overlooked album that's a masterpiece through and through. Nick's bass playing and tone is just `chefs kiss` amazing.
They released this album with practically no promotion or advertising and then maybe played a couple shows and then the band took a break for years so they never really got out and toured for this album cycle so it stayed largely unknown.
they're releasing a new album in February!! hopefully they will play more shows this time around!
My drummer was just telling me this last week, he’s the one who turned me onto them, he first showed me their new singles and right away I said “dude that’s a thumb bass”! Then he Told me about this album, I had to mention this to Mark right away!
Sun Eater was auch an amazing album. I'm SO excited for the new album.
This band has had one of the best glow ups, they went from a "simple" deathcore-ish band to a tech death metal band with such dynamics and complexity. Love em
Same bass player as Nuclear Power Trio. Love to see a reaction video
Ahh yes, his alter ego, Vlady P
No way haha. Didn’t know that. Makes sense
At some point in time metal was huge in my hometown and this band came to play a few times. At that time I thought death metal was not for me. But I am realizing that I missed out so much ! This song is great ! Thanks to whoever recommended this.
the song before this one, Eating the Visions of God, goes into this song with an absolutely PHENOMENAL bass riff!
Yeah that one is wild, one of my favorite JFAC tracks
I'm so glad you're tackling something from Nick, he's been one of my favourite players for ages and I think he's the one that introduced me to Warwick basses, coincidentally I picked up my first German Warwick just yesterday (Corvette $$ 5 string) and you're totally right, such a specific, very cool mojo to them.
Another artist to check out with very busy bass parts (but super cool) is Erlend Casperson, he's a killer tech death bass player, lots of swapping between fingerstyle, slap and double thumb, lots of double stops and popped chords.
Also if you ever do another video on Nick please check out the Orhwurm playthrough he did, you get some great shots of his playing!
Sik timing!!! I had one of them and they ate amazing! I’ve also had a Thumb NT5 and miss it every single day!
I knew you had to pick this song!
shout out to my favorite drummer Danny Walker of Intronaut for crushing this album in the studio!!! he's a huge inspiration for me.
I first discovered you guys opening for Intronaut actually XD I took some great photos from that night that are lost to time.
Excited to watch this one! Looooooove the bass tone throughout the album. To me, it's the ideal bass mix for metal.
Never heard anything from this band, but thanks to you, I've found something I never knew I was missing. Such an epic bass tone. I can't seem to get my '87 Thumb NT5 to sound as good as this! And I discovered they are releasing a new album after 10 years! Thank you Mark for doing this tune. I knew this would be a treat as soon as I saw "Busy bass parts"!
Hey man, awesome!!! So glad to hear I can also turn folks onto something new, as you guys do for me. Cheers!
It's the woods in the Dolphin. Ovangkol. Extremely dense ....just seems to have a tone that nothing else can replicate. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking up one. It is so choice.
@@CS-Loc I had a feeling the Dolphin was something special. So is the price!!!
The forever rot, their new single, is a goddamned master piece too. Both their new singles are. Such amazing basswork. ALSO Nick Shinz who plays bass in JFAC also has a side band called nuclear power trio, which has super fun basswork, it's great. Check out their song called critical bass theory. Edit: Oh didn't know you know the man! Please do check out nuclear power trio, though.
Nuclear power Trio kills!! Clear and present rager is bad to the bone, don't forget to grab em by the Pyongyang!!
Nick is such a huge inspiration for me. Thanks for doing this video
He's incredible - thanks for stopping by Jared!
Back in the day this song completely forced me to re evaluate JfaC. Amazing evolution by this band.
This album blows me away every time.
This song really captivated me the second i heard the intro, and it was the first song of the album i heard, i then listened to the entire album, and the bass stands out on all tracks. But this song is my favorite, especially how it leads in from the first song, you would really field day with the first song outro and then it plays into this song, just excellent music.
Nick is a beast on bass. Check him with Havok, something from Conformicide.
You absolutely need to hear some of the material on Xenosapien by Cephalic Carnage. His playing was crazy on that record, too.
This is easily one of my favorite albums, probably neck and neck with Where Owls Know My Name as my favorite in the genre and its absolutely because of how well the bass cuts in throughout all the tracks through beautiful chord choices and great tones throughout the whole thing.
Great video! I have a request you've probably had a few times, Nuclear Power Trio. Anything by them, but probably Clear and Present Rager would be a great track to cover. Cheers! 🤘
Yas here we go!!!! Thank you Mark!!! Much appreciated homie!! This was Nicks first album and it was the best decision the band could have made!! Would luv some more from this album
Thanks for going over one of Nick's songs. I love his playing and tone. He is such a talented player that deserves more attention.
Ttheir song tickles a spot in my brain I didn’t know was there. At the moment I'm loving October Ends' new song, you should definitely react to it!
Yeesssssss. Nick played out of his mind on this whole record. So stoked they’re back again.
You should definitely check out algorithmic salvation by the zenith passage. The bass play through is wild. They have a lot of syncopation and a very tight sound
One of my favorite JFAC songs ever! Even though there are many that I like/learning to love over the years.
such an incredible vocals Jonny has !
Definitely, he’s one of my favorites. His is voice is truly iconic.
The Opeth reference really hit The target with me
Mark, you’ve gotta check out Grinding Wheels of Ophanim off JFAC’s new album Moon Healer. Nicks bass line is absolutely killer on that track. The bass tone is absolutely perfect throughout the entire album along with the bass being extremely forward in the mix. Worth a listen. A review of this track would be a nice follow up to this video. Keep up the great work!!
For fuckin real man!! I’m wishing there were tabs out there for the album cause when I went to look at a playlist of songs for bass I wanna learn pretty much the whole album was on there 🤣 such a good album 🤘🥴
Nick's work in Cephalic Carnage is also interesting :) Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!
It's impressive how you understand each part, it seems to be so complexe, this band is genius
You should check out Entheos, especially anything from Dark Future - (Evan Brewer on bass & Travis LeVrier guitar) Really unique blend of style for something brutally heavy.
My dad majored in musical theory in college back in the 70’s and I’ve had the hardest time convincing him of the complex musicality in death metal. The death metal he was exposed to were in the early days of the genre when it wasn’t as complex as this. He made his mind up about the genre way back then (he hasn’t really kept up with the times in any other aspect of life either), so he believes this genre is nothing but a mess of crunchy noises and random riffs played at high speeds. He’s 72 years old now, so I’m not sure if there’s any hope that he’ll take to this genre any more kindly now than he did 10, 20, 30 years ago, but I’d like to think this video might change his mind. I’m gonna try to remember to show it to him next time I see him.
I think you should react to some Obscura, their bassist is very good!
Glad to see more metal stuff being looked at! Can’t recommend enough Entheos’ Dark Future album.
Nick's work with Havok is great too!
I’ll have to check it out!!
The curious thing is that outside of the undeniable heavy warwick bass sound, if you are playing metal the other way a bass can cut through a mix very clearly and really shine is ironically enough, a fretless wood fretboard bass: something about that almost singing quality to the sound really makes it almost as prominent but in the complete opposite way to the warwick sound by being strangely ethereal inside a very well, metallic, mix with highly distorted guitars and punchy drums.
I noticed you said that part of the Warwick zing may be attributed to the brass frets etc but nick is using a fretless.
No, it’s a fretted Dolphin model. Not using a fretless.
I just commented on another video to do this one the other day. You did it. Months ago. You just get me
😉
Wasn't a fan before this album. But damn the bass on this album is next level. Such great tone all round.
Who ever mixed the album is a legend 🤘
So shortly after Nick joined the band, they made a huge pivot to a more progressive style for Sun Eater that I much prefer over their old stuff. Their new one Moon Healer that just came out is a lot like Sun Eater, and I think is even slightly better if you can believe it. So I really only listen to those two albums, and mostly for the bass lol
Fuck yes!!! I’ve been requesting this all year 🤘🏽🙌🏽
🙏🏼😎
Yes!! Love your videos and glad your covering him, he's so good.... Another BEHEMOTH you need to cover is Linus Klausenitzer
I was coming to the comments to say the same thing. His playthrough of Åkroasis is just mesmerizing to watch.
This is easily my favourite channel on CZcams
That’s high praise and means so much to hear that. Thank you for hanging out with me! 🙏🏼
I´m not a deathcore fan. As a matter of fact, I am not a Job for a cowboy fan but this album is pure magic.
Same man, I’ve dabbled into them a lil bit but my drummer showed me their new singles and right away I said “dude that’s a thumb bass” and was absolutely hooked and he turned me onto this album and I tried to listen to the older stuff but it’s not the same without Nick, same as scale the summit isn’t the same without Mark
Job for a cowboy is death metal
@@PaykoeTsunami93 well doom isnt lol
Job For a Cowboy has been death metal, not deathcore, for practically all of their existence. Only their demo and first EP was ever deathcore
Great vid! Would love to see you react to Day of the Baphomets by The Mars Volta.
Dismember - Dreaming In Red has amazing bass tone. More basic but worth checking out
I’d LOVE to hear you react to something like “The Realest” from Issues
It's funny how you mentioned that this isn't the genre you would want to play a P bass or jazz bass in, which I agree with. However, the original bassist for First Fragment, Vincent Savary, used a 5 string Fender Jazz through a Bassman on the album Daesin. The first video you did on Forest playing Gula, that was originally recording on that 5 string Jazz. Absolutely blew my mind when he told me that.
It’s a totally different level of bassist when you can have a debate about the differences in equipment/amps/pickups/basses/strings/pedals/settings and all the different nuances of the ways to apply them to the songs…. Meanwhile I’m over here trying to figure out how to just play my favorite songs. Lol
@@JoneyJefe You'll get there. Just keep applying yourself and dedicating your time and the rest will follow. I've actually learned a lot from Mark just by listening to the bands he has been in and watching this channel regularly.
Thanks Colton!
@@JoneyJefe No problem. Always keep in mind to go as slow as possible when learning new things. Songs, techniques, licks, whatever may be. Learn them note by note and get them cleaned up early on before your muscle memory takes over.
Warwick basses really are special.
Jfac is my second favorite death metal band behind Cattle Decapitation. They havent realeased anything that wasn't absolutely amazingly composed.
Dude, you need to do The Agony Seeping Storm. Same band, even more amazing! Love your work dude, keep it up!
Jfac is so good. Their bass is so dang delicious
hi i love your videos
And, I love that you enjoy them! Cheers, and thanks for hanging with me in the Premiere today 🙏🏼
Dude seriously need to check out their 2 latest releases.
I was going to recommend them but the bass mix on this album is way better! Not the bass work but how well it sits in the mix
I saw JFAC around the Ruination tour. Still one of the best metal shows of my life.
Nick did also amazing on ohwurm by cephalic Carnage
We're speaking my language now sir lol. BTW my dolphin pro 5 string fretless has a bone nut and Aguilar dmb pickups.i still have the stock brass nut but this deer antler bone nut makes the unique sound even crisper
Rad!!!
@@LowEndUniversity I know where another is close by and it is available to me because it's my uncles.its the main reason why I went in search of a warwick bass...but I wanted a 5 string fretless and this dolphin is a 4 string fretted...it's a bubinga front with a swamp ash/mahogany 5 piece back.the stripes run clear up the neck and it has a ebony fretboard.all stock warwick hardware and I could get it for a farely cheap price if u were interested....I can contact u on social media and we can discuss and see if it's at all possible to even have u see and play it prior
I want this dude to check out Ohrwurm by Cephalic Carnage. Same bass player
You have to check out Cannibal Corps, Alex is a death metal bass master!!!
And so is Dan Linkler. He was with Anthrax and then did Gridcore, check out Brutal Truth
beyond creation seen the conversation and left xDDDD
now he should totally do the agony seeping storm by job for a cowboy
Check out The Silent Life, by Rivers of Nihil. VERY good bass
Yeeeeessss thank you so much for this!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 ps Danny Walker is a top 5 drummer; Nick is a top 5 Bassist and this album has one of the best drum and bass combos ♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you ever want to go back into the 2000s nu metal reactions, I would recommend Sam Rivers from Limp Bizkit. He is so damn underrated. His basswork in Rearranged is amazing and the musicality of Limp Bizkit severely goes unnoticed because of Fred Durst lol
This sounds super fun, I’m down! Definitely another band I never really got into aside the few main hits.
@@LowEndUniversity Other songs where his basslines stand out are 'My Way', 'The One', 'Boiler' or 'The Truth'. Oh and his main choice of gear are Custom Streamers with fretmarker lights, so you know he's legit 😂
Been learning some Limp Bizkit baselines for a cover set my friends are planning on doing them, they are honestly quite subtle and very creative, Sam Rivers does a fantastic job at playing to Wes Borland while still be able to take creative liberty and switch things up. Really great bassist honestly.
Yeah I never got very into Limp Bizkit because of Fred Durst. His voice is just so annoying, among other things. But I’ve heard this same sentiment about their musicianship and I should probably give them another chance, at least to listen for what’s going on musically.
Job for a cowboy is amazing! You should do an infant annihilator song next
I’ve watched some clips from Nick on twitter a few months ago and there he used his MTD Basses for all the clips. They sounded just like this track to me. So I guess the sound is still in his hands 😅
Speaking of Nick, have you checked out Nuclear Power Trio, yet?
It's an instrumental prog 3 piece with some phenomenal bass playing.
Ryan's influence is certainly very prevalent there but in the context of very melodic songwriting.
And their gimmick is just fun.
Nick is the 🐐 for metal bass.
Please check out Obscura Akroasis or Diluvium with Linus Klausenitzer on bass!!
have you tried the bogren bass knob std plugin yet? love the videos,,
Love you videos!! Have you checked out Obscura??? They have some excellent musicianship also.
Hellll yes 🤘
Thx for the introduction to this song, I liked it.
Check out some ABBA! Their bass player is so great! Money Money Money and Gimme Gimme are two that I love
I've listened to a lot of Death metal/core but never followed Job For a Cowboy. Really great bassist, I'll have to check out some of their albums 👍
For your viewing pleasure PLEASE check out Mike Flores from Origin. That guy is unbelievable, I saw them play live about 10 years ago and I couldn't stop watching him the whole time. You don't even have to do a reaction video, just enjoy how insane this guy is 😆
You should check out High On Fire at some point! Jeff Matz is a absolute beast!
If you want to hear more from Nick Schendzielos you should check out Nuclear Power Trio!
Pretty sure Danny's not in Intronaut anymore. But I guess I must of seen you guys on that tour (with north?) Unless it was at the venue that Chris is banned from? Either way it was a great show. You should do some Joe Lester bass lines next.
Yeah, he's not. I just said it out of habit after spending months and months with those guys in the past. Yeah, it was with North! Are you referring to The Orpheum in Tampa? Yeah, STS was blacklisted from that one...ha. I'd love to do some Intronaut tunes soon!
@@LowEndUniversity Ha! You knew that one quick. Lol. Was a great venue but they recently moved up the road a few miles. Great shows there all the time. Maybe I'll get to see JFAC or even you there one day.
I know you put EMG's in that bass, but I'm curious if you upgraded the preamp as well?
you should check out the band Equipoise!
Idk if you’ll check this out but Mark I’d HIGHLY check out Archspire if you’re curious about heavier genres. Namely “Drain of Incarceration” 🔥🔥🔥
I did a video on Archspire awhile back here! czcams.com/video/LdHO_juKNz4/video.html
@@LowEndUniversity completely missed one! Thank you, Mark!
You bet. Enjoy!!
Nick Schinz is the shiz. Check out Ohrwurm by Cephalic Carnage
I'd like to see what you think of the live performance of Rush and Primus together on the Live South Park Tribute Concert from 2022
You gonna do anything off of the new album?
Possibly!
Centric flow - obscura
Oh yeah this is a good'n. It changed my opinion of them. Tasty stuff.
I don't think I have really ever heard the bass being so upfront in the mix in an extreme metal song before. Death had a few songs but when the guitars come in but that upfront is nice. The faster parts still the bass isn't as audible except for when it's filling out space.
Just released a new album, maybe a review for that too?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have you don't any Steve DiGiorgio yet? I love his work, but Constitution Down from the Roadrunner United collab album has a sick bass intro by Steve!
I have! I did Death’s “Overactive Imagination” here: czcams.com/video/VuQ4wWzhs9E/video.html
It's most certainly a dolphin.
Should check out follow the fool by primus the bass is something special
Need to know if it's a short bus or a long bus too. That helps a lot.
I would have never imagined his last name to be pronounced "shin-jealous"
That’s how he told me to pronounce it, haha
Do 'Divine Falsehood' by Job for A Cowboy if you haven't already 😊
DANNY IS THE BEST! Grew up with that dude.
you need to react to Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse
Hey there, I did a video on Alex awhile back for a different band: czcams.com/video/CwZP9kSCreo/video.html
However, I really do want to do a Cannibal song too. I'm not super familiar with their catalogue - what song do you recommend that showcases him the best?
Hey Low End!!!! Guys please like this recommendation so he’ll see it. You gotta react to the band RANCID and the bass solo in the song MAXWELL MURDER. Matt Freeman is amazing. Thanx and keep it up!
Hey! I read all comments 🙂 - this one is on my list and coming shortly! 🙏🏼⚡️
@@LowEndUniversity bro!!! Thats awesome u wont be dissapointed. Matt Freeman is amazing and Rancid is my favorite band.
do necrophagist
Wait until he listens to Moon Healer by Job for a Cowboy.
