Soften The Glare "March Of The Cephalopods" 

Who else came here for Ryan?

The first time that the algorithm did something right in 2020

Okay Ryan has to be one of the most underrated bassists out there like seriously.

What I like most about this is knowing all the cephalopods are marching and jamming out to this

JaZzVayNe

Great to see Ryan playing to his peak ability. A true legend and visionary innovator. Mudvayne would have been nothing without him. His talent deserves to be heard.

"I wonder what the bassist from Mudvayne is up to these days, he was amazing..." Wow.

I cannot believe I'm just coming across this now. Absolutely fantastic

Well... This is best misclick of my life.

It's like if Primus just did the crazy parts.

How can the rest of mudvayne give up on this much talent is beyond me

Strange how this drifts between exciting and relaxing. Passive Aggression? would be great music for a DOOM mod level

Ryan + Fretless + 5 String + Hawaii Shorts + Genre Fusion + :D

1:08 Probably the most pleasing bassline to my ears I've heard in a long time

Bon, the happiest guitarist, ever! Why's he so happy? He gets to play with Ryan Martinie.

the riff at 2:57 sounds so much like primus and I absolutely love it, this band blends my favorite elements of bands like Rush and Primus together and adds so much melody, and it's amazing to hear ryan play bass

One of the best Bassist players of todays music.

I'm not sure he's as underrated as he is underappreciated. #RyanMartinieForEmperor

This song was more thought provoking than the entire discography of hellyea

I'm a simple man. I see *BRR BRR DENG* and I click.

The prog is strong with this one

The bass player gave me goosebumps back when I was a school kid and made me pick up an instrument. Now I'm a gigging musician and living my life doing what I love to do.

I thoroughly enjoy watching Ryan play. He has so much joy out of playing and it's goddamn inspiring.

I was really hoping this would be a tune about the endangered Appalachian Mud Squid.

Man Ryan really is putting that fretless thumb to work. Some of the sounds he gets from the thing are just bananas. I love it.

Ohmigod... I'm a bass player/vocalist since the early 80s. And I love Mudvayne. I'm now 50, and retired my bass to my 19 son, but still sing. I'm also a huge prog rock freak... Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, John Myung, etc... My 19 yo son just today showed this to me. I never knew. Holy crap. Fan freak level waaaaaaaay up.

Its so nice to see Martinie's new material. Hes one of my favorite bassist

Martinie knows his instrument, it's refreshing to hear bass take the lead.

As a Marine Biologist and Metalhead. I approve of this

ok the bassist from MUDVAYNE, is in a jazz fusion band??? sick!!!

Somebody likes Rush

Me and the boys in nature:

That fretless melody was amazing! The chord progressions being outlined is super unique. Awesome!

The smiles on their faces are one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

Ryan has his own voice through bass, it's insane. You can hear him clearly on any project he's worked on.

Ryan is one of my favorite bass players. The whole band is incredible. Imagine them playing outside on the street with people walking around from bar to bar like at Mardi gras. Everyone can get into it.

And Chad said he choose to continue being an artist 😂😂😂

This is some legendary level style video game music. Ryan's playing is almost unmatchable truly amazing I've been a fan of his for 15 years and it's so refreshing to see him still out there having fun. I never woulda found this if I wasn't explaining to someone what a good bass player looked like

My dad actually met Ryan when he was with Mudvayne. He said it was the best thing that's ever happened to him. Chad was a dick, but Ryan actually wanted to hang out with my dad. And so, my dad actually quit playing the bass when he heard Mudvayne, cause Ryan is the mother fuckin best bass player in the world, and Ryan was so distraught! He was like, "No! I didn't want you to quit! That wasn't my intention!" and my dad was like, "After I heard you play, I knew I couldn't be up to par with you. You're so talented and amazing." Mortal of the story, my dad is a dumbass for quitting playing the bass cause he thought he was horrible compared to Ryan. (Which he really wasn't) But yes, he met Ryan and I really want to meet him one of these days. Also, he's the one who gave me the link to this video when it first came out.

Slipknot should’ve hired this guy when paul died. 🤦🏼‍♂️

King Crimson meets Alan Holdsworth meets Jaco meets Primus. Awesome.

Wonderful talent, each of them. Mitch Hull is a fantastic drummer.

I came from the "Ryans Angle Mudvayne Dig" video to "Ryans Seinfeld Intro" wtf

Alright comment section, tell me some factoids about this band. I know Martinie is from Mudvayne, but that's it.

This is bad ass. Bass player will melt your face right off.

I keep expecting one of them to start saying "Jerry was a racecar driver". Wrong band?

Love Ryan's playing I wish he would have tried getting back in the public's eye sooner, in my opinion he has to be one of the greatest bass players.

Ryan has such a distinctive Bass sound and style. One of the best Metal Bassists of the past 20 years for sure!

Please play more of that fretless it sounds like jesus whispering sweet nothings in my ear

Ryan Martinie is one of my favourite bassists of all time alongside Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and a few others. I'm so happy that we get to hear every note he plays in Soften the Glare. I love Mudvayne, but Ryan's incredible bass playing on Mudvayne often gets squashed between the wall-of-sound guitar mix and kick drums. Here, it's all crystal clear in all of its glory. The rest of the band is amazing too. Long live Soften the Glare! ❤

Can we do a "dig" funk jazz cover??? Would be epic...

I never realized that when a cephalopod started to march it would sound so good and blow my mind

1:08 best part imo

This song has been stuck in my head for the past week, love it.

holy fuck..a guitarist that actually challenges Ryan. This is SOOoooOOO GOOd!!!

Wonderful !!! Suuuuuupergroove ! big hug from Brasil !

Wow!! This is some amazing stuff. Beyond impressed

This band is like a perfect mix of Rush and Primus

Anyone else totally zone out around 2:17 and have to go back?

Just some eclectic musicians having a little fun!

this is so chill yet so complex at the same time, love this band

puse baijsta de mudwaine y descubri que nunca dejo de tocar ESTOY DE ACIDO Y DESCUBRIR ESTO HOY ES UN NUEVO PRESAGIO AL NUEVO MUNDO AL QUE VOY

ryan is love, ryan is life :) haha love this guy. my all time favorite bassplayer!

If only half the people who love the video paid a measly 10 bucks for the album on Bandcamp, then maybe they'd put out more music : (

clicked in a heartbeat. This shit awesome

Is this fretless bass ??

Reminds me of liquid tension/ cynic

I love Mudvayne they are probably my favorite band. And this wasn't bad either. With that being said, has Ryan ever heard of a shirt? 😂

Music is an intimate bond created from giving yourself over to you instrument, and furthermore letting it not take control of you, but rather letting it guide your expressiveness and creativity, so it can create for you something wonderful. Sharing this kind of bond with like minded people is about the most beautiful thing you can do with your life in my opinion. Music is a magic anyone can obtain with enough effort, and it becomes downright profound when you use this magic with others.

Great tune ... Mudvayne brought me here .... reminds me of PRIMUS

Had to watch this a 6 times and still can't get enough

Make this song the next Wolfenstein main theme please.

I came here because of "Brr Brr Deng", and I REALLY like this. Shades of Zappa, Holdsworth, etc in the music. Fantastic bass lines and great interplay between the musicians.

Ive known Mitch for 25 years now. Was the greatest drummer then, still is, and always will be. He showed me stuff I never imagined, in life and music. One of the greatest people Earth has ever had.

Do they have a video(Warwick) on Ryan's bass? Love the playing. Jazz with some metal taste. Very nice!!

When I saw the title I thought this was parody of March of the fire ants

Ryan, the new record is amazing. Sick shorts too.

The camera guy looks like he's recording a school fight 2:56

Some of the most expressive and interesting playing I've seen in a while. Happy I found this.

Full on jazz fusion. Love it. I always new Martinie was a jazz player at heart.

This is so much better than that horseshit band chad is in now. Its a god damn shame they get all the attention though.

I had no idea Ryan had another band. Jesus Christ, this makes my damn day.

Ryan is a funky ass dude 😂😂

This song is like many others, a timeless piece of art. They got a so unique sound, amazing. Wish them only the best for the future. Take care and keep the groove. Thanks for sharin.

It's like listening to Jaco play with Weather Report on Heavy Weather...Truly a master bass player that deserves more interest. No one plays like Ryan has as a person in Mudvayne or after. He's a virtuoso in his style.

This is unbelievable exquisite....

This is killer man.. this is right up Ryan's alley.. great song..

He just gets a lot less screen time than is due...LD50 is amazing........ BEST BASS PLAYER EVER IMO

1 person is an idiot. Probably Chad unliked it

1:07 what is the name of the genre that sounds like this exact part ? 🤔thanks in advance

Love, love, love this! If anyone missed out on the early incarnation of this song...you'd be mind-blown at the evolution of it! (And, to those bashing Chad - please don't. Yes, he's a complete fucking douchebag who threw away the superior band who gave him a career due to a fight with Greg... ::ahem::...BUT, this is about Ryan and the amazing music he's creating with STG. Let's focus on that, yeah?) STG, honestly, got me over Mudvayne. #I'mGood #FuckChad #FuckGreg #FuckthePast #LoveSoftentheGlare #STG

Really like the Primus part at 2:55

Mudvayne was my favorite band, I met the guys on multiple occasions and they where super nice! But I now realize mudvayne without Ryan is just hellyeah. Side note, Ryan was the nicest guy I ever met in the metal scene.

This is what a rock/metal music video should be, the band playing and enjoying their music. And Ryan is a monster on the bass, beautiful jazzy parts.

this song is beautiful and strange ;) just amazing!

Of course my comments have been taken down. Such a wasted talent. Sitting around waiting on chad for mudvayne. Should've started a band with mudvaynes drummer instead of waiting on Chad. Loved the few things you did do even if it wasn't metal because you're amazing but man we could've gotten so much more out of ya.

I’m a simple man. When I see Ryan Martinie playing fretted Bass, getting a fretless sound in board shorts and flip flops in the middle of nowhere in a jazz fusion outfit I’ve never heard of, playing in odd time signatures, I hit the like button.

Ryan is one of the most underrated bassists of all time. change my mind

Ryan, the best!

I'm gonna say more Cynic meets Blotted Science with Alex Webster and Ron Jarzombek. Of course with their own brand of awesome.
