Konnakkol Duet (INSANE RHYTHMS) Metal Version || Artificial Fear

This was, by far, the HARDEST project I've ever completed. I wanted to do this as a personal challenge to myself, and it turned out pretty cool! So, enjoy the CRAZY rhythms of the Indian Konnakkol now in metal form! (You can even follow along with the printed rhythms in the video!)

Super effort dear artificial fear.. Its so overwhelming to see this..

[ArtificialFear]

So THIS is where Meshuggah gets their rhythms from...

That 9-tuplet at 2:44 sounded so sick and out of nowhere. Will have to try that in an actual Metal breakdown. Amazing stuff man, respect to you and the konnakol singers.

[NetiNeti]

Starting 0:45 she keeps track of 2 totally different time sigs on both hands in addition to singing the phrases 🔥🚨

[Shadycicada]

This is probably the best thing I've seen in 2018

[morningonearth]

The original duet is the most metal thing I heard in my life. Now this metal-version just confirms it. Thanks

[ayushkrishnan]

Oh man! I’m discovering this in 2022 and being a fan of Indian Carnatic Music & Metal - I’m mind blown! 😍

[oodoodanoo]

I'm Indian and now I know why I love metal...

[IgnacioAOlivar]

Progressive Metal is an ancient rythm in India. Awesome!!!

[SignalsMusicStudio]

AHHH GAAAHD AWESOME...I was going to do a few videos on Konnakol on my channel... I will be sending people here to see this!

[epiczeven]

LOL! Indian Dream Theater :D!
2:44 Holy sshhhh*t!

[motormouth_]

Dude... you need to stop! Ever since the metal Zelda covers, you've been a major musical influence of mine. Now after seeing this, I think you've transcended human limitation... Haha! Awesome work. Truly unbleivable! Keep going man.

[jonnybarsley]

More of this cultural metal
style please. It's so powerful.

Great job representing a slowly dying art form for your audience. I wish more knew about konakkol singing.

[queensmickey]

This is absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen such a humbling art form. An absolute pleasure to watch and listen from start to finish.

[emilioguzmanalvarez]

the original video was posted a lot of times on a fb group called djent, and all the time ppl was requesting this, just a perfect metal cover with all of this crazy rhythms and finally haha what a great job!

[best_dad_bod]

This is amazing. I followed a reddit link for odd time signatures mixed with metal and I found pure gold!

[RoPanuganti]

The music of my people brutal style. I love this

[dragonhunter]

So heartwarming to see this ancient art be internationalized as a student myself.

INSANE is the word. Congrats. India have by far the most complex and fathomless rythmic tradition. Nothing is even close, not even african, cuban or brazilian match this mental engineering. And its wonderful syllabic pedagogy simply have been functional along centuries. It works, as we can see in the original video
