Top 10 Metal Playthrough Videos
Playthrough Videos are made to enable people (who are interested) see details of the playing techniques - usually guitars, bass, drums. Needless to say a player must have something interesting to show - usually things that are harder to play. Web cams show these details.The sickest stuff I have seen recently comes from technical or progressive death metal. No surprise, these two subgenres focus on technicality of playing.
6-string fretless bass (it's much harder to play fretless bass than fretted one)
6-string fretless bass. Bassist Dominic 'Forest' Lapointe is a left-handed fretless bassist. Sick stuff!
He used to play for death metal band Beyond Creation and has some interesting things to show.
Genre: progressive/technical death metal.
The sickest metal drummer (Nile) shows his drumming technique. His foot technique is insane. Speed madness.
Genre: brutal technical death metal.
A perfect coordination between 2 guitarists who complement each other. They use only the instrumental track for this playthrough video (no vox). Their instrumental part is so good that sounds beautiful and completed even without vox. I love the riffs in this song, esp. the one at 1:39

Rafael Trujillo ( right) - lead guitar
Genre: progressive/technical death metal.
On 7-string bass.
If you think the bass has only 4 strings you are obviously wrong, hehe. No, the video wasn't photo shopped - this bass does have 7 strings. And the bassist uses all of them.
Genre: progressive/technical death metal.
The legendary Sean Malone (fretless bass)
Cygnus (Brendan "Cygnus" Brown) was their bassist from 2005-2017.
Genre: extreme progressive metal.
