Michael Martin - IRREVERSIBLE MECHANISM - Abolution Drum cover

Описание: Hey guys !

I am Michael Martin and this is my third drumming video.
This time I have chosen the track Abolution from the last album of Irreversible Mechanism: Immersion ! Immersion is definitely in my top tech death albums' list of 2018.
The track Abolution gets it all: blast beat, groovy and catchy parts, growl/clean vocals and last but not least some amazing guitar leads.

All the drum parts of Immersion have been recorded by the almighty Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris) and that was a sick challenge to play this song. Of course, I've learnt this song by ear so there might be some slight differences between the studio track and my version.

Tempo is 240 / no edit / only one take

Special thanks to my partners in crime:
Martin Montillet from Reborn To Die Again and KRD Audio for the recording and the video edit. Welcome to the family dude ;)
David Thiers (Secret Place Studio): mix and mastering
