Neolia is dropping their guitar playthrough video with us today of their song “Rise And Fall”. It is insanely entertaining guitar wise with plenty of sections and some cool chords. The guitarist is sitting down, making all sorts of entertaining faces and pretty much enjoying life. This is one of the most colorful playthroughs I have seen!
The band tells us about the song and it’s origins:
“This song relates to the hardest point in time in Alex’s life, when first realizing he was alone at the age of 21. He tries to recreate his past steps and become a rage prophet. He starts his journey with a clear purpose to awaken the people that surround him about the false world they live in. Shortly after, Alex realizes he had been overlooked, and that no one believes him, and in fact they feel comfortable maintaining their current daily lives. In the midst of it all, Alex finds comfort in his depression, his demons reach out to him in his time of despair while reassuring him that he is where he needs to be.
The track starts off with a heavy groove intro, but it breaks once the verse enters with a drum & bass like groove basically stating the main characteristic nature of the song which is a sort of bi-polar feeling as the energy stretches back and forth in. The song contains some odd signature rhythms and polyrhythmic components and even leans into different genres. “
Enjoy the playthrough and don’t forget to check out their latest self titled album!
