Ben Bennett: Bass Playthrough of Xoth’s “Battlesphere”
This may be some of the most aggressive thumping and plucking you’ve ever seen. Death metal band Xoth just released this video of bassist Ben Bennett playing through their song “Battlesphere,” and he absolutely beats the music out of his bass.
While you don’t hear a lot of slap in metal, it perfectly suits the group’s dense wall of sound by cutting through with plenty of punch.
Plus, he does it all in style with a pretty wicked shirt.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
