How they play that clean is beyond me. There is no hiding mistakes with those tones

[saranshspeaks]

songs like suda make life worth living.

[CheesyCola]

Mountains of Creation has to be the hardest Chon song. This is crazy!

[DomSchu]

This band is so refreshing compared to the sea of mediocre metal bands today. I love how their guitars are just on the edge of breakup instead of the typical over saturated tone usually used.

[deo.strengthspan.project]

I'm a bass player. Although of course the guitars are the stars of this band, I can't help but notice how simple, but effective and supportive the bass is. I felt if I was playing in this band I would have the inclination to want to have my playing as technical and complex as the guitars, and probably would end up over playing and kind of stepping on their feet musically.

Anyone else think this? Am I over-thinking this? Because that's definitely a possibility.

Anyway, great band! Definitely one of my current favorites

[drinalco]

1:47 the chord break that I always look foward to in chon songs.

[MelodiousIllumination]

0:45 is easily one of my favorite riffs. The part after in 7/4 is also tight

[robertmeyer]

I can't help but picture these guys at a big jazz concert lineup, and the older guys in the other bands like "Damn those kids fuckin rock!"

[Kamijin]

what so good about them is... they barely use heavy distortion. Great stuff!

[alias]

4:53, this melody makes me feel so much things, it's just incredible i've never head something like that

[coreychilds]

I don't think you could ever be in a bad mood if you performed this music every night. The positive vibes are too strong

[jordantoft]

I so wish they played Temporary Destabilization, I think that's my favourite of the Demo 2008 songs.

[knoopx]

that's some three incredibly talented young men

[tike]

Im so glad mountains of creation survived all this time. i would really love to see temporarily destabilized get a revamp too

[danielgil]

I seriously would love to hear what beautiful music these guys could write on some classical guitars. I also just love how they are all happy to be playing. We need more musicians like these now. I hope I can someday live up to these guys in playing though. But I guess that's just a shit ton of practice. CHON is just full of emotion/passion and technical skill I don't know how else to describe it. I love it.

[joshuabadhawk]

I love how weird and honest it is.
It's really just some bros jamming,
being chill, enjoying the company of each others tones..
I don't know, maybe I'm just weird myself, but I enjoy the sh* t out of it.

[CSXer]

This reminds me of old YES music! Or maybe even Crimson... (Sorry...I'm old...LOL!)
Love it!!

[FinallyHaveaNick]

so technical yet so beautiful. modern day virtuosos

[ssj]

wow. what an instrumental band chon is . they use modern jazz in their music is just amazing. keep it up guys :)

[andraswagner]

dude they nailed Suda so hard. It's just like on the album.
