GEAR GODS RIGGED - Black Crown Initiate 

"If you're a kid, smoke a lot" had me in tears 1:36

Hadn't heard of this band until today but when I saw Wes I let out a shout of joy. Great player, great guy!

haha, wanted to keep close attention to jesse describing his drums (drummer myself) but burst into tears of laughter over his shirt ! I also love spicy food and this sauce is the best ! keep coming these videos, really cool and informative !

Glenn Fricker would be impressed with this drummer's ingenuity, surely!

These are sick, thanks for the hard work Trey! Also, Jesse's drum tips are sick! Awesome set up ideas for consistency on the road.

I'm a simple man, I see Wes Hauc, I hit like.

Love these guys, happy they hit the mainstage at Euroblast '16, easily one of the best acts. Dudes are really cool in person.

Wes is such a cool dude.

This was much needed. Great band!

Holy shit, Wes joined the band?? Awesome!

"Can I clip it onto your beard?" "Sure." lol for a band with a lot of nihilism themes they're some chill ass dudes

The drummer drawing circles on his Evans heads to disguise them as Remos reminds me of Criss Oliva airbrushing a Jackson logo over his ESP headstock lolol

The drummer and his gear is the most interesting part of this video...and this is coming from a guitarist lol

I love this band!

That's sick as fuck. Props to still fuckin with the old school axe ultra. That thing is a definite beast.

Awesome timing, I'm seeing them tomorrow night

Great band!

Beard Mic is now the new meta

As awesome as it was to see Wes Hauch in black crown initiate I think a player like him needs to be in a spot where he controls a vast amount of the creative aspect of the band. Bci was Andy Thomas. His style is or was bci. It’s exciting hearing alluvial now and really exciting to hear what Andy Thomas can cook up with rivers of Nihil.

Did you do one for Ne Obliviscaris?

wow ... I always wondering where Wes Hauch has been before the Alluvial with Keith Merrow... I thought he's straight from military and play with merrow. I never knew him beside from instagram. unlike ola, no one making him a wikipedia bio LOL ... now after watching this, his interview from the faceless popup... thanks geargod

Totally didnt know Wes was playing with them!

Wes did a demo of the washburn dime slime. With the SD DB sig set. Cool dude.

*THE WINDSWEPT SHORE IS SILENT IN ABSENCE OF THE TIDE*

lahwf plays bass???

Holy shit these dudes are super funny XD

dude you should have asked how long hes been growing that thing!

I recognize the mezz and greenroom of the Whisky in Los Angeles.

Nice video guys!!! \m/

These dudes are cool.

Haha you guys are fucking awesome.

Hey Jesse , I have a quick question. What are you using for bass drum heads??

So what's going on with Wes and Merrow project anyone know?

Wasn't Wes using an Axe FX?

Now I know how to mic a beard

Plays extreme death metal with stock pickup!...noice

OHMYGODYES

I need a beard like that

what string gauge does black crown initiate uses?

What is the wood on the neck on the bass?

That bass looked so phat

i like the smell of patchouli cause theirs usually good acid around lol haha

Hahaha. If you're a kid... smoke a lot. 😂

you need to cut down your hihat stand man lol,,
