WATCH THIS VIDEO, OR DYING FETUS WILL STRAP YOU TO A CHAIR AND MAKE YOU WATCH IT

 Thursday, September 17th, 2009 at 1:30pm by

“Shepard’s Commandment,” the new video from Dying Fetus, is pretty typical death metal shit. But it’s still totally worth watching. For one thing, the song is pretty good, but also – bassist Sean Beasley finger taps! When was the last time you saw a friggin’ bass player do any tapping? For shame, metal bassists who aren’t Beasley. For shame.

“Shepard’s Commandment” comes of Dying Fetus’ new album, Descend into Depravity, which is out now on Relapse.

    • SonOF

      Well DF practically invented the shit, so they can do what they want..

  • Nate

    For the finger tapping thing… most neo-classical bassists do that lol… Necrophagist/Obscura just to name two… Trivium’s bassist does it. So did Cliff Burton.

    Bass is so under-rated…

      So does the bassist from the Faceless, and there’s a couple All Shall Perish songs where he finger taps

      • http://fantasyh.wordpress.com fantasyh

        Arif Miradolbaghi from Protest The Hero also taps quite often

  • Joe

    Uhhh…ever heard of Alex Webster? That dude was doing tapping shit back in 1994.

  • builtforsin

    He sweeps in the Homicidal Retribution video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVJxCLcU6Wc .

    Tengoooooo Miedo Cabrones wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :(

  • A-lex

    The last time I saw a bass player tap live was John Myung when I saw Dream Theater. And before that at Summer Slaughter Origins and Necrophagists bass players. I could go on. There is a lot of bass tappages going on in metal.

    And Dying Fetus are meeeeeh. I just can’t get into them for some reason.

    • Fong Chung

      Yet you have the name of a shitty Sepultura album. Dying Fetus is meh? Sorry but Dying Fetus destroys anything Pattontura has done in 10 years….

      • SonOF

        agreed.

    Dude, I tap on bass. Granted, I can’t even put a full band together where I live, but still, my point stands.

    • a-ron

      where do you live?

  • pariah

    YOU FORGOT ABOUT FIELDY!

    for real though, the guy in origin is insane

  • http://www.kingdomofnoise.blogspot.com MetalMatt

    Finger tapping AND sweep-picking!!!! Dying Fetus is brootal and not overly technical (like Obscura and The Faceless).
    Awesome.

  • Kevin

    Protest the Hero’s bass player is constantly tapping. not really all that uncommon.

  • Malacoda

    Yeah, there’s quite a lot of bass tapping going on. Also, Dying Fetus’s bassist has been doing it for years. Let’s see: Origin, Necrophagist, Beneath the Massacre, Obscura, Protest the Hero…. etc etc etc.

    • SonOF

      I’m sure everyone here hates them, but the bassist from Mudvayne is amazing; he does a lot of tapping/ slapping stuff..

  • Malacoda

    But he is wearing a shirt I have, so that’s killer.

  • Sin and Death

    Dying Fetus is the best band of all time.

  • Kill All

    Behold…The Arctopus, Psyoups, Burnt By The Sun. Axl, you need to bone up on yer bass players, buddy.
