In a quest to further study the links between the past and the present I have made a video remix illustrating these similarities. I took two things that I personally have a deep interest in and combined them. Those are Death metal and Tribal music. Many people tend to shun Death metal and couldn't possibly see how it is related to tribal music. However death metal to me is an expression of ones self in the most primal fashion. Releasing all rage and frustration and ultimately catharsis. It brings back to our most barbaric roots only the same way tribal music can. For many tribal music holds the same connotations death metal holds for me. It allows them to release their true primal nature.
So I combined both of these aspects in a video. The audio contains three layers. The first is the math metal band Meshuggah's song I. The second is an indonesian tribes monkey ritual called kecak. The third is african djembe player's playing a traditional rythem.
Overall the video is okay I wish I had more time to properly sync the two however it was a difficult process just to get it here.
