Hey everyone! We’re hanging out at Okzygen celebrating the anniversary of a fantastic Death album, Individual Thought Patterns! Released back on June 22, 1993, this album was the only one to unite both Gene Hoglan and Steve DiGiorgio for a rhythm section, a duo that quite frankly cannot be beaten. In fact I’m still blown away from their performance last month during the Death To All show. So in honour of this anniversary we’ll be wielding The Beast as we rip through the fantastic closing track off this album, The Philosopher.
This is one of those songs I’ve known forever but recently picked up again. It’s just one of those things, like riding a bike. You go a few years without doing the thing, but after a couple of tries it all just kinda comes back. Well, that and about 10 minutes with a good tab. The solo’s have a bit of improvisation in them, but for the most part I’ve tried to keep things in line with how Chuck would approach the thing. At least I hope so.
As always, if ya dig what you see then head over to the YouTube Channel and subscribe to keep updated on all the new things!
