REPLACIRE stream "Horsestance" guitar playthrough


REPLACIRE Boston's explosive, multi-faceted technical metal band REPLACIRE are streaming a new guitar playthrough for the track titled "Horsestance". The playthrough is streaming now at Ultimate Guitar.



Regarding the playthrough, guitarist Eric Alper comments: "We chose to do a playthrough of Horsestance because it's a really fun song to play. It's a real burner with some of my favorite riffs on the record. The right hand is really important here, there's a lot of string skipping, gallops, and aggressive down picking. The main 12-tone melodic riff is also a real finger twister."

"Horsestance" appears on REPLACIRE's album 'Do Not Deviate'. “A plethora of humongous, technical riffs, slamming, slithering drums, noodling, prog-inflected lead melodies, and vicious, guttural vocals which occasionally transform into a soulful, enigmatic croon when you least expect it”, 'Do Not Deviate' is streaming now at No Clean Singing. 'Do Not Deviate' is available across multiple CD and LP formats at the Season of Mist E-Shop HERE, as well as digitally at Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and more!

EPLACIRE was founded by guitarist Eric Alper in 2009. The band issued its first material, the self-released full-length album 'The Human Burden', in 2012. The 'The Human Burden's unique and wide-ranging material was an ambitious statement of intent, and cemented the band a thriving reputation as a must-follow heavy bands in the region. Following 'The Human Burden' release, the band toured extensively through the Northeast supporting the likes of BEYOND CREATION, HATE ETERNAL, MISERY INDEX, ARTIFICIAL BRAIN and more. Footage of REPLACIRE performing "Corridors of Resolution" from 'The Human Burden' can be viewed here.

What the press is saying about REPLACIRE:

"Replacire's The Human Burden is what would have happened if Chuck Schuldiner were still alive today and mixed up with the likes of Obscura and Opeth at the same time. It's enjoyable technical metal that skips over all the flashy showmanship and dives gracefully into the otherwise murky waters of the modern progressive metal scene. In short, if you want everything you like about popular bands jammed into one 41-minute masterpiece, then you're in the right place." - Metal Injection

"The Human Burden is an intricate technical death metal affair but gives a lot of room to Opethian passages and subdued grooves. Replacire have a complex songwriting format down pat, but not in a showy way; they use their skill to craft distinct songs. Truly one of the few bands I would feel comfortable calling progressive death metal." - No Clean Singing



"The Human Burden is easily one of the best technical death metal albums you’ll have heard in a long time, if not for the simple reason that it doesn’t try so damn hard to be technical death metal. Think of Replacire‘s writing style as if Opeth just took on the Jarzombek brothers to join them in the studio and jam on some new ideas for a record; grounded in musicality, but damn is there some insanity." - Heavy Blog is Heavy
