First Fragment Release Play Through Video

With the recent release of their debut album Dasein in May 2016, Montreal’s neoclassical tech death collective First Fragment has caught the attention of many guitar fanatics worldwide with their adventurous and eclectic sound. Combining ‘80s neoclassical metal, flamenco, and extreme metal influences, the music of First Fragment is a bold, over-the-top “monument of shred,” despite its structural and harmonic simplicity.
In celebration of its release, the band today is pleased to unveil the first in a series of guitar playthrough videos featuring Phil Tougas. Check out “L’entité,” now playing below:

Captured at Humanoise Studios with Mathieu Marcotte (Augury, Humanoid) and mixed by Hugues Deslauriers (Augury, Defilementory, Vengeful etc.), the eleven-track Dasein features guest appearances from current and former members of Spawn Of Possession, Obscura, Inferi, Augury, and Elderoth, as well as artwork by Sam Nelson (Incandescence, Wayfarer, Stoic Dissention).

Formed in 2007, First Fragment quickly drew attention of the underground after releasing numerous demos, and their debut EP The Afterthought Ecstasy as a three piece. It wasn’t long until the band made their official entry in the scene afterwards with a full lineup until eventually getting the attention of Californian-based label Unique Leader Records to release their debut album. Years later, First Fragment remains as strong as ever and unchanged to their core, and in their common obsession: To dominate the world.
