"When I play, I don't think, well now I sweep, now I tap, etc. I look for the note I need to play and I find a way to play it." - Christian Muenzner
Christian Muenzner changed the way I play guitar and made me a much better player. I've learned so much from him. Stefan Kummerer is amazing too. I love his vocals and lyrics. He's an incredible song writer and an amazing guitar player. I'm so excited this duo has reunited!

I'm sick of people saying technical music has no soul because they don't do long bends and make emotional faces when they do vibrato. Just because you don't get a good feeling from it doesn't mean they didn't put feeling into it, or that the fans don't get one. These guys pour their hearts into their playing. Give them the respect they deserve.

Now I can devote the rest of my life to learning half of this song.

and steffen kummerer does vocals with THIS. holy fucking shit. i cannot play his parts without even thinking ffs.

[karlravioli]

i can't even believe how amazing christian is at guitar.  it almost looks like he's not even playing the solo.  his movements are so minimalistic

[dissonantoblivion]

The tapping solo with the whammy bar mesmerizes me every time. It's so beautiful.

This playthrough inspired me as a 16 year old to learn this song, and now 9 years later (2 years after last playing regularly) has reinpassioned me to play this again.

Omnivium was a masterpiece of an album

[matthewws]

This will always remain my favorite guitar playthrough.

The way Christian plays is so effortless. I am vastly intrigued by the way his left hand rests and moves and facilitates the very accuracy of his playing. His style on that hand is very different than what I've seen in this genre before...he uses his pinky a LOT more than I would expect a techdeath player to. It's almost as if he is doing so with purpose. Amazing.

[Havok]

The solo is something only Christian can pull off, at 2:10, he is using 4 finger pulloffs, i couldnt figure out the notes, but by seeing this playthrough i now understand, he has a super pinky.

These guys have complete control over their arms and hands. And their minds.

Christian Münzner master mind in the 2 best allbums of obscura, ,, living up to the name

[CTE-EagleVeryHeavyFighter]

Looks like Christian is back on the menu, boys!!!

[DangerousDrummerDado]

Wow those riffs and melodies are more complex that I could imagine. Hate to say this but who needs a new Necrophagist album anyway when we have these guys?

[fredmachine]

Just to answer those questions in one post:
The guitars used in this video are:
Münzner: Ibanez RGD 2127Z and Ibanez JEM 77 BFP.
Kummerer: RAN Custom model (based on the 80's Hondo H1 Death Dagger).

[kchennessey]

I love Christian's solo in this song, both technical and soulful. It reminds me of Uli Jon Roth.

[biorythmicshifter]

And this is why these guys are at the top of the pile…absolutely stunning.

[MrTheZatoichi]

its so frustrating that they are playing this song like it is just nothing. mad skills
