    Just for reference, aqua regia is an acid used to dissolve gold from other metals. That's why there's "liquid" gold in the video

    Absolutely one of my favorites from the album. Love love love the obvious jazz influence. The beautiful piano, that soft guitar. I don't even care what genre this band is (supposed) to be. When you produce great songs like this, I'm going to listen.

    So being born in 1970, imagine all the music and bands I grew up with.
    And to this day... Sleep Token is in my top 5 of all time.
    They have songs I like less than others But, they do not have a bad song!
    I can't get enough of them.
    And I can't wait to see what's next from you.
    Thank you for putting out such good content, it is very entertaining.

    If you want to hear blues and metal together, give Zeal and Ardor a go. Worth checking out the background of the band too and how they were created by asking 4Chan for 2 genres and the reply was a less polite version of black music and black metal, and so their singer went ahead and mixed blues with metal and based it on a alternate history where slaves make a deal with the devil

      I mean, with my slightly ironic interpretation of "the Devil" (as the liberator), that's basically what Haitian Voodoo was, so it's not much of a stretch; Zeal & Ardor take the actual heritage of the lead singer and make it metal (as it should be, in *this* history)

    I kind of agree with you in regards to vessel's vocals, the live version of Aqua Regia is 100% better especially because they have the choir that harmonizes with vessel. That piano breakdown is sooo tasty tho! Can't wait for you to do Vore, the harmonies are INSANE and it's my favorite from tmbte

    It's a nerdy sex jam. I appreciate the play in the lyrics between romantic chemistry and scientific chemistry. I think if a song this smooth had overtly romantic lyrics it would be too much (I'm on the aromantic side of things.)

    • @SoulSingerDiscovers
      @SoulSingerDiscovers  3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah I think you’re completely right! Having balance in a song is definitely the job between the songwriter/arranger. And I think here it’s done well. I love the balance tipped tbh but if the lyrics were too soppy it just wouldn’t be right. Thanks for taking the time 😊

    You're spot on. I've felt there's been some things missing for a number of years now in Metal and one of those is harmony. You found it more maybe in the 90's but the trend since then has gone a different direction. There is one Metal genre however that has kept those elements quite well and that's Power Metal. One good band just released their first song in about two years, Unleash The Archers. Song is Green and Glass. You got to check it I think you'll find a bit more of what you're looking for! Cheers 🍻 🤙

    Have you heard of Leprous yet? They're quite an interesting somewhat jazzy somewhat metal band. If you want clean vocals from them, I'd say their song Below would be a good start, but if you want something harsher, maybe Slave would be a better start. 🙂

  • @zhivik
    @zhivik 3 місяці тому +1

    Just a note - while a significant amount of metal indeed originates from and is inspired by blues, it doesn't apply to everyone. There is as much influence from punk, for example, especially in the alternative metal/rock scene (grunge is a good example). This doesn't invalidate your comment, it's just there is so much more to metal than many people realise :)

    • @SoulSingerDiscovers
      @SoulSingerDiscovers  3 місяці тому

      Oh no I understand that influence isn’t linear for sure, and neither it should be. I think the point I was trying to make was that it’s just very cool to me that’s been listening to a lot of metal recently it’s so removed from its origins because of nonlinear influence, so when I hear it going back a little to roots music it feels like a wonderful full circle. Thank you for taking the time for a little conversation on it 😊
