Im probably going to get shunned for posting this but any love for the EXTREMELY talented and EXTREMELY underrated Mike Flores of the extreme technical death metal band Origin? Hes infrickinsane! This man sweeps and is extremely fast with his fingers its unbelievable!

when it comes to technical ability i dont think there are better bassists then him. his basslines are super fast.
and on the song the aftermath he does arpeggios like the guitarists which is awesome.
on this video he does some warm up:

although the music of his band (origin) is very brutal it has some fantastic moments. this extreme speed and screaming is also a way to let out anger so dont wonder if u try to listen some origin.

o i just saw that the thread is old sry

Yeah dude, he's nuts. There aren't many videos really highlighting what Mike can do..I wish there were more. His tone is kind of 'meh' for me though...

Mike Flores is amazing and his sweeping on The Aftermath is complex! He sweeps and taps. Im still trying to get it down.
