Polyphia - Chimera (feat. Lil West) (Official Music Video) 

Bruh😂

😂

I play a mean kazoo maybe we can sell them on a duo

I can do the silence

they would somehow find a way to make triangle challenging lmao

yea, he really stepped it up on this album ;)

everyone killed it.

The distorted tone sounds horrible though, in all songs. Dunno how it went through.

@@wannabeserpento99 you sound very dumb commenting on a polyphia song about distortion

@@wannabeserpento99 I mean this in the kindest way possible. You're very wrong lol. I suspect you need to get more into heavy music or get better speakers/headphones because you're clearly missing it.

Yeah....( i havent learned their names beyond knowing tim and scott) he kills every track

@@dxdraiba7604 the other 2 are both named clay so that should be easy to remember

The thing I most like about it is it's not just technically proficient, there's a certain soul to it that most other prog rock drummers sort of miss.

Brandon was worlds better imo. Sad he left when he did.

Impeccable fills, absolutely amazing

Pleasant as fuck

@@Paul-jp8zz Oh sweet. Thanks!!

@@galadhonx9825 Also on Rick Beato's channel, "What Makes This Song Great? Ep.103 Polyphia "G.O.A.T." - Tim is again with him one on one explaining his playing. pretty cool

Dude has an 808 on the drumkit they're not pausing to do a drop mid riff. They're amazing but let's not act like they're pure analog, this isn't the 70s

@@warlordjr.jr. I don’t really care if the 808 and sidechain compression are built into the drum kit or if they just added it in during post-processing. It’s still dope

Every band needs to start somewhere. I do agree with you though. It's really cool to see a band just starting out to gain a large following and be successful.

Completely agree! Watched them for the first time in the UK alongside Intervals in a small rock bar. Now they’re playing an O2 venue next year which I’ve bought tickets to!

No you don’t, quit cappin’

Kinda miss the old style with all legit instruments and no trapbeats. But this is what sells I guess

@@DingleDut It's what they want to do artistically. They haven't "sold out" in any sense of the word. Their sound is still authentically Polyphia, it's just that they've pivoted away from the djenty prog sound they had in the days of their debut EP

fuck yes

Ye

It needs to happen. Like ASAP.

This needs to happen!

Well THATS something I didn't know I needed u til now

I gotta say tho, live is a different story. You definitely hear the flaws clearly. That being said, it’s extremely difficult to play regardless.

got a goons kinda dude here. nice.

Same

Yea it’s been a year since he’s been on the Goons podcast

@@safwanjaton422 Of course man. Who's your favorite member of the goons?

Maybe but song still sucks

Clay G. as well, they all killed it

Idk about the drumming tho

The mix on the whole song is crazy

Gober is an amazing talent. Dude can shred guitar like a boss and not many people know it

@@P34V3Y7 he's a basist

@@lukeskywalker514 ….I know but I’ve seen him shred

Dude, for sure. I have to use buds. I took a fucking gamble on a US brand, STATUS and holy fucking shit. 3 drivers work! Them shits sound like you are in the fucking studio. It's crazy. Status clearly has a new triple driver platform all their shit works on now. It sounds RETARDEDly good. I have the BETWEEN PROS, them shits... Dude, it's not even a thing. For fucking real, every other pud I stuck up in there, sounds like all bassey or tinney, these shits are balanced. Straight up. BEATS is dogshit, RayCon IS a CON -- it's in the fuckin name bro. I've had these motherfuckers for a minute and goddamn it, I guess the only bad part is how it uses the case to trigger bluetooth connections. That pisses me off. But christ, the sound is about as good as is humanly possible. Fuck, it's good. I just bought the original Korn album on vinyl and I'm gonna stream that over bluetooth. Yes, I need pills, I get it. But it's gonna sound dope af.

@@P34V3Y7 Clay A can also shred aswell. both of them are the shit fr

I'm sure you're already aware, but the end of Bloodbath is particularly top-notch in this regard.

@@Bisquick my face is in disgusted when I hear Scott's solo. That shit is just perfectly put together

@@TheMessage25 when your face is so disgusted by the music that your english breaks.

@@thoriqzulkarnain4114 you're Kool. Go find an activity

The first drop is perfect. Killer

LOL, I'm often curious what music will sound like in 10-20 years. My 10yo is OBSESSED with Polyphia though!

I have 4 little girls and they all like polyphia lol

Family guitar budget is going to get really pricey!

My 8yo loves polyphia🤘🏽

@@XmemphistoX oof

lol Yeah they literally did a feature with a trumpet player on their song Genesis lol and a weird jazz fusion song with a music producer/keyboard player/DJ on their song The Audacity.

polyphia takes a lot of influence from hiphop

"as long as it slaps, put it in" is a mentality all musicians should have

The riffs don't sound new to me, they're very flamenco based.

@@holliswilliams8426 i think they mean new in terms of polyphia history

Beautiful and very thought provoking comparison "lil west is as how one places vinegar in food". Love that line even if his verse or feature isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Nah. The rapping sucks, it doesn't belong. Then again, it's not my music and they can obviously do whatever they want. I'm just saying that's when I turn this song off.

W est not one of tha street niggaz!

I don't know about the rapping part. I like it, but it sounds like an afterthought within the context of the song, and I kinda feel bad for Lil West. I feel the same about Look But Don't Touch and its feature, Lewis Grant.

It's my favorite part of the song. Especially when he's singing. It goes well with the guitar playing.

"I've got an Idea. It starts with a flamenco guitar part, then Scott you go djent djent djent, and after a groovy interlude we throw a rap verse in there" -Tim Henson 2022

❤

There was a heavy hip hop stuff on that song :D

Rap in the song? Good thing you didn't mention it as it's underwhelming

@@benoittakamine7167 HUH

@@rarecromALT Do you like the generic 2022 autotuned electronic rap into this track?

@@Hillslayer What makes it electronic? Also, most rock/rap singers have been autotuned since like 2000-2005. Not all of it is immediately noticable. So, yeah, the cadence and the delivery of the vocals make the verse really cool, especially the mix too.

There are 3 genres in the song: classical/flamenco, rock/metal, and rap.

ahhh never thought about it that way!

@@chrisboccia chimera is a mix of 3 animals

@@carinae2035 Not strictly. A chimera is a blend of 2 or more species. In Greek mythology, a chimera is a combination of a lion, a goat, and a snake (which happens to be 3).

We used to call it fusion at a time but yeah this track brings the genre to another level

like a chimera, multiple heads

@@djangosmissingfingers i want multiple heads😉

the rapping was too basic and boring, didn't fit the instumental, no emotion at all

​@@TMPOUZI You know, when you understand any kind of psychology you learn that when someone spouts out anything hateful, the specifics of the hate are reflected by their own subconscious failures in order to try and level the playing field...

@@InkcorperatedMusic ok Mr Froyd jr, not being hateful, just my honest review, cope with it

😂😂😂

Who's grabbin' who....

Not you only.

Lol

LMAO

True love

If your black metal friends don't like this, they don't understand good music or anything about music theory and how absolutely bonkers of a group of musicians these guys are. Absolutely talented.

@@matthewd1094 you’re absolutely right

I never expected a lyrics man on a polyphia song

I think they’re meaningless. Hate that i hate but the song dumbed down A LOT by that segment. The song really didn’t need lyrics that mention some girl? Who the fuck cares lmao. Ass.

Sick

Extra cool because each of them definitely has their own style too. You can hear a distinct difference between Scottie and Tim for example, but they mesh together so well it's astounding

@@TStizzle19 Withe the Tim/Scott thing, I didn’t notice so much when I first started listen around 2019. But now when I hear the slidey low end solos I know it’s the MVP Scottie!

That's literally why they're called "Polyphia"

You by chance know wtf the shiny overlays they have on the are?

@@tazeylazeysr6400 sorry, i have no idea, but It looks so dope.

@@tazeylazeysr6400 from what I've seen it's just a custom cover that they got custom made from an artist. Underneath is just the tod10n

All the instruments were wearing "armor" during this album

Lol

Oh yes, as it always is

I thought it was pretty credible actually

My headphones are OTW now lol I'm so pumped

With a HiFi DAC+AMP it's next level

Might want to grab the album and rip it into a lossless quality too, youtube isn't doing it justice.

Not this song

GOAT should be. I think that’s biggest non vocal song ever dropped.

chill

And we're alive in this moment for it.. I absolutely agree.n

I would invest way more time in history classes if this was what we were learning

What other bands are inconsistent? I’m not hating or anything, just curious…

CHON for example 😭 and I love those guys but where they been

@@BHPOfficial their record label screwed them over so they weren't making much money so they're trying to wait out their contract. or something like that

Are Polyphia still considered a metal band? (Honest question; I don't know the genre well.)

@@lwcarr3879 not really. They've shifted more to prog rock. Still great, but not really the same genre.

Well said, freaking masterpiece

Yer mum is masterpiece

You are not alone and library is probably better than workplace lol!

The gym is a great place for this “MASTERPIECE”

weirdo alert! weirdo alert!!!

Yeah was really hoping they'd finish the remix

I dont get it?

@@DayTreaper on the chimera video release stream they had time to spare so they tried remixing a part of yellow submarine in the last 7 mins of the stream

@@raulsaldivar3057 they were going hard fr

do you have a link?

Eiiezc si dive e de cc CCC c fa i ce. O eei.h 🙏t.M..

Every polyphia song is greatest

This album is packed with great songs, they're just getting better and better

@@kittatro Tim’s gotten soooo much better over the years it’s actually insane

This one is by far my favourite too, I've listened to this song at least a thousand times

Agreed!

One could say it’s like Playing God

Satanic level

Um no. Is it very skilled playing? Yes. However as someone who is 42 and listened to all sorts of bands and different styles drumming and guitars I can guarantee that you have never heard certain bands. First of all when you get about 6 minutes in to Pantera's studio version of domination, that is something that you have to turn up consistently every time that Riff starts. Then you have bands like morgion. And cradle of filth. And you absolutely cannot discount Fear Factory the remanufacture album when it comes to bass because that shit what blow you away. And you have bands like satyricon. I can go on and on. And I am not saying these things as though I'm coming down on you or anyone that enjoys this because it was good however broaden your horizons because it's all been done before many many times and a lot of people never go back and look at what started these bands. A lot of people go back and look and find other bands that they think are even more incredible than the one they previously adored. Expand your horizons

@@sgtfluffy718 just because you can’t appreciate new music doesn’t mean no one else is allowed to

@@sgtfluffy718 🤓

They just need a tiny bit of 'soul' and 'feel' but that will come with experience, perhaps. i hope they don't just keep doing 'this' all the time;- i'm not really autistic enough to listen to a whole album of people trying to sound like they're programmed by 'A.I.'.

It's nice trap flamenco, but a bit sterile for me.

This

😭

Was looking for this comment. Dudes got a schnoz

Scammers should fuck right the fuck off.

Come on, NLND and Renaissance blow this one out of the water by miles.

@@protestmyhero5613 Your opinion. Mine is mine.

I'm confused about what in what they do is re-invention, most of it is either djent or sounds very flamenco based.

@@holliswilliams8426 You could argue the same for early shredders, that they just combined Neo-classical elements into Rock and started playing faster. I'm just happy that Polyphia 'shreds' in a genre fluid manner without focusing too much on labels and their norms.

I just saw Alluvial with animals as leaders recently! super cool guys, meet them at the merch stand and got them to sign my Sarcoma CD! Phenomenal show!

@@fyrea Seriously! I only recently got introduced to them earlier this year and I'm so glad I got to see them play already. The guys were hanging out at the bar during car bomb briefly. I was chilling up on the balcony behind the sound guy.

i bet its scotty playing it

@@adamoz0004 You're right. I listened again, and now I think Scottie will play 8 string, and Tim will play nylon.

@@manuelsaenz6424 didnt realize it was an 8 string. figured probably 7 string. but it sounds similar to look but dont touch so youre probably right

@@theenlightenedone5429 Yes, the first electric guitar notes sounds very low. But also, in one video, I guess Abc solo from Scottie, he has like four guitars on the wall: the gold top one, the seven strings that appear in Ego Death, and also an 8 string, so I suppoused that they will present a video with an 8 string guitar, and this is the closest one. It's a great opportunity for them and Ibanez to promote this kind of guitars, haha. I never thought I would like to have a 7 or 8 string until I hear and want to play this songs.

@@manuelsaenz6424 It's actually Fredrik Thordendal's signature (Meshuggah)

Watching the playthrough elevates it even higher.

They need to get a better a drummer tho

Really y’all think so? I think the first half is sick and the second half is meh. I guess it just shows everyone’s taste is a lil different

@@hadenmoser7242 I think if Lil West had better lyrics and bars, it would have been way cooler

@@VicSellsPeace true the lyrics could be better but his flow combined with the insane instrumental sounds pretty cool

@@VicSellsPeace ... do you mean: if he had more talent, (or they chose someone else), then it would have been way cooler? If so, i agree. He was a dumb choice.

@@synisterfish Basically haha. Idk Lil West too well, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt

Yep, such an acomplishment

no offense, but i think featuring rap makes their songs fuller and more cohesive, their songs are already structured how hip hop beats are, it seemed natural. I just think this style of rapping doesn’t fit it, i feel like more agressive rappers would fit nicer

@@gezi0752 I feel like Denzel or Pouya would be a good fit for a Polyphia collab for whatever reason

@@Milklord47 true

No man, let's add Eminem in this equation please.

Already are lmao

@@Shmicah1235 seconded

Well that day is today lol

I think you misspelled hip-hop

@@BobbyxRevolution they're not hip-hop. They're fusion metal realistically
