An unbelievable amount of work went into this. SHOUTOUT to Katie Koenigknecht (who brought this project to life), Tom Winspear and Winspear picks, the Kiesel guys, my good pals and music friends, my parents and family, Joe and Louis Mooradian. And of course, Necrophagist and Relapse records. This took a ton of effort and you all made it possible somehow, directly and indirectly.

It only took 2.5 years.
Noctambulant full cover 2022?
thats all it took you?? lol Great work! Dont know you got through Symbiotic In Theory or Ignominious and Pale
Well worth it
Subscribing in respect of all your effort.
The video is a gem!
Sam Mooradian I love you
The fact that somebody covered their whole album in one video is enough reason for Necrophagist to come together and make a new album.
Lol that happened when I learned "World Circus" in it's entirety. Pretty sure it was a coincidence tho
Half-life 3 syndrome I see. Learn to let go, dude. It's not healthy to hold onto things forever.
Muhammed Suicmez is never coming back. The money is not there. There are tons of offshoot bands that are all great, Obscura, Alkaloid, Christian Muenzner, Hans Grossman, Blotted Science... we just have to be happy with what we get.
@@themelnibonean7017 none of those bands will ever be necrophagist to me, they might be as good but not necro, i can never let fucking go im trying
@@themelnibonean7017 I can almost guarantee Necrophagist will be back to tour at some point bud. Someone that godly talented will get the itch to play live again. Wouldn't put money on ever seeing a new album. And really..... would you want to have the monumental task of following up onset of putrifaction and epitaph?
Fucking phenomenal dude!!
Thank you man!! 🖤
Nice to see 66Samus here hahaha brilliant job, from both of you guys. Cheers from Brazil!
Your turn Sam 🤨
I do this at guitar center every Saturday.
I play Stairway to heaven at guitar center every Saturday.. backwards.. through a Boss Metal Core plugged into a triple rectifier with everything on 10.
Me too
Lol amazing
Hahaha
same XDD
Some may not like this, but this is what peak male performance looks like.
LMAO
I listened to this through my DT-770 250ohm with Topping DAC and Amp, trying to find a place where you make mistakes. A lot of covers like this 'hide' behind the backing track a lot. What's crazy is with small differences like the whammy bar you can hear your guitar very clearly, so not only did you cover the entire album nearly perfectly, you also managed to absolutely nail the tone- it comes through here and there when you're off by a tiny beat, and you can hear your tone sounds nearly identical to theirs. Dude, I've seen a lot of Necrophagist covers in my life, I played one of their songs for my high school music final in 2010 (Diminished to B, the easiest one lol)- I know I'm 6 years late to this, but holy shit man well done. This is incredibly impressive.
This is the best thing i've seen since that dude who play Fermented Offal Discharge including solo on a clarinet.
Best compliment of my life thank you

We always appreciate your comment.
Man this should have sooooooo many more views
People are too stupid, cant cure stupid lol
Lotta people can't get past the vocals to enjoy this type of music. Shame, really.
Epitaph is the greatest death metal album ever made, and the cornerstone for what is tech death. Quite the task to cover it completely. Thanks for sharing Sam.
Everything is fire is the single best FUCKING annihilation ever recorded that happens to be death metal!....
Diminishing between worlds by Decrepit Birth
I had a edgier comment here ridiculing sexual preferences. (Not to be taken seriously.) But I forgot I was living in 2019 and some Necrophagist perusing woke sjw might, however unlikely, come across this and turn me into Jack Dorsey's kombucha SS. I have therefore preemptively censored this comment. Needless to say you 3 have all chosen poorly and for homework I am instructing you all to direct yourselves to the part of the Death Metal library that begins with Gor and ends with guts. For starters.
@@swanofnutella4734 How did you manage to get offended at something that didn't even happen?
LOL Agreed with you guys above me^^^ I’m far more interested in Ulcerate, Decrepit Birth and Gorguts. Epitaph was great for it’s time, but it’s played out. Would’ve loved to hear the follow-up. Even talked to Muhammed about it at Summer Slaughter 2010, back when he was telling everyone “We’re going into the studio next month...”. Yeah, well, it’s all good. There’s so much tech-death out there now, even if they put out a new record it would just get buried imho. So many better bands out there than Necrophagist these days...
I remember trying to learn “Seven” and getting the intro down. Then...my brain breaking attempting the rest. I don’t know how Sucimez does vocals on top of playing that stuff. Legendary album.
That's the sad part about and the good part about being into extreme genres of music. We get to see real musical genius such as Sucimez. He wrote practically all their stuff, played it perfectly live and had really good vocals on top. The sad part is that it's hard to share it with anyone outside the genre.
It will take humanity four years to understand how immensely difficult and impressive this full album cover is. Holy shit man.
But it's been four years :/
@@sonkeh7362 and I said it two years ago.
@@Behdad47 right. There is still hope left then!
One of the greatest death metal albums of all time. Don't care what elitist idiots say. This album alone gave birth to bands like Obscura almost completely. The range of bands this album has inspired is endless.
What do elitists say? I've never really seen anyone shitting on Necrophagist beyond some people, myself included, finding the lyrics corny (I generally find the whole gory themes silly)?! But hey who listens to death metal for the lyrics, right?! I certainly don't.
Are there really morons that disagree Necrophagist pretty much paved the way for tech death as we know it?! Epitath is an album that still fares well today in the death metal genre in terms of musicality despite having been released 15 years ago. Tells a lot about how ahead of its time this album was. A true masterpiece.
@@Itachi951000 Ye honestly That's stupid. I never see someone shit on Necro. In fact there's so many copy cat band that follow Necro sound that makes my ear bleed.
@@Itachi951000 most of the lyrics on epitaph are about philosophy or jungian psychology actually, its the first album that has the more cliche gore themes typical of early death metal.
Because Necrophagist is not elitist enough?!
SOP are the only ones that I think can compare. All of the others just wank around with far less musical theory and originality.
I legit shed a tear sometimes when I hear that first solo. I heard this album at such a pivotal time in my life and something about Epitaph has stayed with me more than any record. Being about 13 and hearing this shit and thinking "wtf is THIS?" I think I was listening to Slipknot and Linkin Park alot before that lmao
I relate so much to this comment. This album was scary to me when I heard it. It was the scariest most beautiful music I had ever heard. I was in my friend's old car driving on the freeway when I heard it. Can still smell the car.
First of all:
RESPECT for that tight playing.
learning all that stuff must have been much & hard work.
you should write new material for them,
you are the Nectrophagist' now! :)))
keep it up man!!!
I really hope to find some originals in your Channel.
subscribed for more.
Hella
Dude I still can't tell you how much I respect you for this. I keep coming back to this video for inspiration, not kidding
TheEnizeo thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoy it and I’m glad it could inspire you :)
This album is still the greatest tech/death metal album ever and the standard by which all others are weighed. It still affects me like it did when it came out.
Only death metal album better than this is Individual Thought Patterns, which completely changed my life when I randomly bought it at FYE when I was 15. My other favorites are by Gorguts and Vehemence. I don’t really listen to much straight-up death metal anymore though.
Cosmogenesis and Path of Apotheosis are my two favorite technical death metal albums.
I cant pick one between Epitaph,Relentless mutation, algorythm and cosmogenesis
Henrique Vergili Do you like Gorguts
@@HeavyProfessor yeah,i Love considered dead and stiff and cold is a fucking anthem,but i still prefer the others albums listed above, and I should mention Defiant Imagination too,wich is the album that introduced me into death metal
couple of questions:
1. was this the most difficult task (within reason) that youve ever attempted?
2. during your learning of this album; did you start to actually understand some of those insanely complicated riffs? the groove in them? or was it mostly memorization?
3. has suicmez ever contacted you about the vid?
WE NEED ANSWERS
BUMP
where is the answers?
ANSWERRRRRRRRRRS
Yeo
fuck this is so TIGHT i cant even begin to imagine how proud you are of this , you should be .
This album is sitting at an absurd 71% on Metal Archives. I swear snobs can't stand greatness. This is top 3 in most important albums in death metal history and has achieved legend status. Shouldn't allow anybody to post reviews...
My god your economy picking is next level!
This gives me hope. I learned economy from the beginning and I can't switch
six years and Im still watching this.
Wow, incredible dedication to stick at it and nail the whole album. Tech DM masterpiece. Now take what you've learned on this journey and write the Epitaph follow-up we never!
Also, little known fact about the album - the legendary audio engineer Bob Katz mastered it, famous for tons of jazz classics. That's why it's so unbelievably dynamic for a DM album with no clean guitars.
5:49 is just absolutely INSANE
Dude you have made it in life. You have done a thing less than 1% of the world can
Let me remind you that 1% of the world population is still roughly 73'500'000 people. I doubt that there would be even a hundred thousand people that are technically savvy enough to play Necrophagist cleanly (given 2.5 years of time, of course), so I believe that his feat is much more impressive than your estimate suggests
@@Bloodrammer jeez. there are probalby only 1000 people in the world who could have done this
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just back here again for the 15th time since I found this a year ago. I stillborn can't believe the dedication this took.
Damn. Covering one song would've been respectable but you really went all the way. Mad props

@@chongyvevo No?
@@chongyvevo No?
ChongyVEVO No?
ChongyVEVO No?
Man, I was making the same kind of face watching you play the stillborn one.
"Quick, I've only got 33 minutes to practice!"
This dude:
We goin to r/technicaldeathmetal right now.
flawless victory
This was beyond impressive. Every aspect of it.
I wanted to do exactly this when I was way younger, thats 13 years ago now and all this time I always faced riffs and licks that just would never ever clean up. I practiced some songs for hours each day for over a year and I never saw it happening. So I put that dream under ground without ever giving it a proper burial. Its one of my biggest shames in life, I still sometimes run through Epitaph joylessly and pity myself for getting worse at it over time. Tech was my love and I threw it aside because I couldnt be bothered to keep my chops up, I rather played fucking video games.
This has rekindled the flame. Im taking the oath, I will bash my head against it one more time in your honor. Thank you for inspiring me like noone has in so many years. Before I am 35 I will have put up a whole playthrough of Epitaph. Thank you with all my heart.
Your lack of silence disturbs me… how goes your guitar journey ?
@@TimmyRayField hopefully bro is still practicing
this wasnt what i was searching for, but exactly what i needed
...but can you play Come As You Are ?... truly amazing. this dedication and this INSANE amount of work to be able to do this in one shot... can't even begin to imagine how many hours of work U put into this. A real tribute, this is beautiful
5:09 that riff is so SICK. Great job dude, perfection.
Great stamina, strong and economic technique, buttery legato, [apparently] solid memory - sick stuff, +1 sub
Insanity. I watched Dean Lamb try to learn this for ages. Just wild. And Suicmez crushes it while singing lol
I can't even put into words the amount of respect I have for someone that took years to learn and cover the whole fucking album.... holy shit
So fucking good. Love this album.
Your face at 13:00 makes me realize how much you actually love the album. Really nice work man, keep it up!
I just put this on in the background of playing video games to see these ridiculous riffs being played so effortlessly. learned a few of them from this too. insane skills. cheers!
This is absolutely astonishing, Sam. Equally impressive as your cover of "I"
Seth Angerer thanks so much Seth!
This is the most radical finger exercise practice I have ever seen. Dude, you are legend.
Holt shit this is amazing... 20:45 seems like the hardest riff, but none of their stuff is easy by any means lol. My hat goes off to you sir, this is truly entertaining to watch. Thank you!
Epitaph’s into looks absolutely insane.
This my goal in life rn
This is amazing , the amount of work you had to endure to learn all the guitar parts plus editing the video must have been insane!
Seeing the overwhelming love and support on this video makes me happy, to say it’s death metal this shit gives me life. Insane work man, can’t fathom the patience this must’ve took
This is super impressive bro.
This is so fucking nuts. The sheer willpower and endurance needed to take on just one song by them is ridiculous. You've reached the top of the pillar buddy.
He is the necrophagist
Crazy and perfect job man! Congratulations and respect for your motivation and your work!
Ahh thanks so much!
this is such a staggering feat honestly.... all of this style of music keeps grasping for the complexity and precision of this record and it is still untouched in my opinion.
This is beyond impressive. I can't imagine the amount of work you did to be able to play this accurately.
Well played you deserve more views man!
I just can't believe this album came out in 2004 it still sounds so fresh! Covering the whole album in one video is crazy great job!
Saludos desde Colombia parcerito, firme, mi banda favorita
Que chimba !!!!! Que hp man más teso !!!! Que vuelta que esa banda este cómo desaparecida... Realmente no sé qué le pasó !!!
Saludos viejo !!!!
Throwing another comment on the pile for the algorithm, because any time someone searches for necrophagist covers this video belongs at the top of the results. Especially since OG necrophagist live shows are so rare and low quality, it's just great to see the tracks played properly in HD.
Duuuuude! That's very impressive. V E R Y impressive.
Symbiotic in Theory is truly the most ballbusting Necrophagist song to cover.
Wow the dedication this must of taken is nuts that's epic man.
This sounds so good with two leads playing the same thing. Wow especially during ignominous and pale.
best riffs on the album IMO:
3:52
4:45
8:03
10:02
12:40
12:46
24:36
nice work, btw!
That smile when he plays Only Ash Remains. Thats the feeling when you're one of the coolest people on earth.
Man, this is highly impressive. Subbed. Can you do this with Onset of Putrefaction too? ;)
Thanks! I want to. We’ll see
This is just all around impressive. Every note, every picking, straight through. Insanely difficult to do to any music - let alone some of the most technical metal ever written. Congratulations on a job well done man.
Thank you dude 🥹
@@SamMooradian you deserve it brother you're out here making stuff like this and providing entertainment for metal fans everywhere. 🤘🏻
that technique. you're girlfriend must be proud ;)
You think he has time for a girlfriend with all the effort he put into this 😉
underrated - thank you
Dont worry about the economy, because this guys picking has tons to spare.
omfg god man, thaaaaaaaaat isssssss aaaaaaaawesome! Great work !
This band really has the sickest riffs ever...
I can die when we get album III
Crazy shit man. No way that is easy. So impressive you covered it all.
Sick, I wish the album mix was a little lower so I could distinguish your playing more.
Spencer Miller exactly. Sounds fake as hell
@@OmniscientVirtuosity hm no
Immaculate..... holy shit! Going forward, whenever I think about "Economy of motion", THIS is the ideal 🙌
Aye, just write a new album for them, please.
Man, I came here aftee seeing the Revocation album cover. My fucking God you're simply insane!!! That must have been an incredibly difficult task to complete all in one perfect take. Man this deserves millions of views. I cannot stress enough how impressive this is. Wow.
Can we get a Diminishing Between Worlds album cover? 😁
Full album cover 😳😳
Absolutely amazing!
We can barely hear you bro !
You should upload another version !
Jeff Azzopardi that’s because he’s as tight as 11 girl.
@@Sueizi0 yes officer this comment right here
Patryk Sawicki FBI OPEN UP!
i swear metal genre covers deserve way more views and recognition than they get
The solos proabably took you like a year to learn lmao..
2.1k subscribers but 2.3k likes and only 11 dislikes, and then awesome video. The best thing I've ever watched in 2019
Inhuman technical Death métal. Fucking beast riffs 🤘💀
IGNOMINIOUS & PALE is just insane
Man I still come back to this video every few months and am just BLOWN AWAY that you covered this album so flawlessly. I feel like learning all these tracks and executing them as well as you did is the HOLY FUCKING GRAIL of death metal. You should be insanely proud.
Beastmode on 🔥
Te amo mucho, hermano. Gracias por esto.
only 3500 views??!!..... clearly this video is insanely underrated/unknown. This is probably the coolest guitar cover video on youtube. Amazing work!!
Can't stop having fun by watching this vid. It's great and awesome for all time.
This is what I call a true metal lover.
You, man, deserve at least a free ticket to one of their shows. This is astonishing. My respect to you.
I bought this album when it released back in 2004., really impressed by the guitar cover/play through cover of the whole album. Good job.
Fantastic playing and a wonderfully spec-out guitar.
This is just mind blowing. My mind is getting blown so hard right now I might pop.
Possibly the mother of all cover videos yet done.......? Great job.
Here am I, 3 years later, getting inspired by this ridiculously good cover
That's some next level dedication to cover an entire Necrophagist album. Have nothing but respect to you brother.
This whole playthrought should be 18+ Rated. This was obscene. Thank you!
Wow the dedication. Truly inspiring.
I first saw Necrophagist in small church (yes, lol) in Roseville, CA... 2007, 2008 maybe... They played with Winds of Plague I think. There was probably 40 people there and they got mad at Muhammed when he cursed on the mic. I just stared at his left hand the whole time in awe.
Only tab books I've ever owned is Master of Puppets and Epitaph. If you click my channel I have a few videos of their solos from MANY years ago. Not as good as your playing though. Awesome video!!!
Symbiotic in Theory looks so incredibly difficult. Kudos.
It's just sick. I was only looking for a single song cover to see what's new out there, 32 minutes 52 seconds pure technique.
Far out, solid and right on!🤘
This is the best video on CZcams hands down
