Architects "Doomsday" - The Decomposer Lounge Reaction, Composition Breakdown | AWWWRIGHT!! Epitaph Records
Architects reactions
OMG I spaced on my intro - THE OLDER I GET THE BETTER I WAS!!!🤦🏽♂️
@@JD_13 Beautiful song! Amazing band. Too bad the broke up. :(
Kardashev- “Between sea and sky.” you’ll enjoy the melodic rifts
It's cool man ... I got ya
AWWWRIGHT!
It's all good, I understood you just fine. Awwwright!
Listen to their song called Black blood
This song specifically is a letter to the drummer's brother, who died in 2016 and was the founding guitarist. The video and song contain a lot of symbolism, and the light in the sky is intended to be him I believe, or his soul per se.
You are correct.
RIP Tom Searle.
Tom was a gift for humanity so much talent gone too soon
Wait. 2016?
Damn I'm getting old
Sadly Tom had starting working on it but didn't finish it before he passed.
Tom actually started writing this song but ya know he couldn't finish it. Dan finished it, and obviously changed lyrics up and made it for him. It's sorta sad in a way
Please listen to "Gone with the Wind" from "All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us". Beautifully poignant. Written by the lead guitarist/song writer, Tom Searle (like most other tracks), who had terminal cancer and sadly passed away not long after. A lyrical and musical masterpiece. Heart wrenching stuff. RIP Tom Searle.
YES. THIS
You never wondered how deep you could sink into nothing at all?
I had to check it out. +1 definitely
Gone with the wind is my fav
Makes me tear up every single time i hear it
Since you seem to like orchestral arrangements, Architects have just released a live version of their song “Animals” recorded live at Abbey Road studios with a orchestra. It’s something that gave me chills. I think you will really enjoy it. I believe it’s only available in UA-cam right now.
Damn, same here, I hope it goes up on Spotify soon. I can't put the UA-cam video in my playlists on the go.
Such an awesome rendition too, and I agree, chill inducing immediately and so so good!!!!
I second this statement.
I thought it was on spotify already
@@andrewblack6473 It may be regional, but I'm not seeing it in the States.
I miss the aloha at the beginning, would always make my day hahaha
I KNOW!! I fully spaced that :(
@@KeyOfGeebz all good ,no worries ! Alohaaa!
Architects!!!!!! Memento Mori would make a great video. I get goosebumps/chicken skin every time I listen to it!
That would be awesome, such a powerful song!
Best song by Architects. Very emotional song. He needs to react to it.
Oh man, they just released a song played live with an orchestra and it's phenomenal, you HAVE to listen to it. Architects - "Animals" (Orchestral Version) - Live at Abbey Road
this version is EPIC and has such smart arrangement of orchestra!
Yeah, it’s superb. Production is another level.
Really hoping he does review this one. I linked it to him on Twitter already, so here's hoping!
Indeed I suggested this a few videos ago, I hope he views it.
I dont like the newest stuff it got a little too whiney for me lol. But everything up to this album is fire. Weird how a band went from deathcore to metalcore.
This song is written by the drummer, Dan Searle, for his brother Tom, who died of cancer end 2016. His song Gone With The Wind on their album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us is written by him. A musical and lyrical masterpiece
This song was started by Tom and the lyrics written and finished by his brother
That "souls don't break they bend" part gets me every time, amazing!
Its always an emotional roller coaster for me
Been digging these guys new album. ERRA is another good band. Gungrave is a good song from their newest album.
Been requesting ERRA for a bit now too so I'm just here to push the rec. Since the self titled is so recent I feel like he should do anything off it so he can get a great representation of what modern metalcore is, since that's what ERRA is lol
Agreed. ERRA would be a great reaction.
@@albreezy26 ERRA was one of the albums I was looking forward to this year and it does not disappoint. The only other album I'm looking forward to right now is the new Spiritbox album.
@@TowerMike idk if you're into more of a hardcore sound although tbh these guys can do it all, but LANDMVRKS is a French band that released their newest album I think the same day as ERRA. It's 10 songs 30 mins and an extremely fun listen. Don't let this comparison make you think anything negative but they are not afraid to switch styles/genres like a band like dance gavin dance is. I think you'll dig it
@@albreezy26 Thank you for the LANDMVRKS recommendation. I know them by name, heard couple songs but never was really drawn to them but seeing as you like ERRA as well as their latest stuff I´ll give them a listen.
From the latest ERRA release the song Divisionary sounds to me like a juicy steak that I enjoy a lot. But hell, whichever song you pick from the album is a "hard-slapper" :D
This was the first song they released after the main song writer/guitarist Tom Searle died from cancer. The guy meditating is his twin brother Dan who is also the drummer in the band.
Memento Mori would be a great song for you to dissect, it's the last song on the final album written by Tom who was very much aware of his own mortality and the inevitability of death. The meaning of the song (and album) has really altered after Tom’s death since none of his fans knew his cancer returned until after he died. Please check it out!!!
Yes! Memento Mori is hands down one of their best songs!
the vocalist, Sam Carter, i think has the BEST RANGE of vocals. Powerful screams, beautiful melodic singing, everything he does and delivery is POWERFUL
#AWWWRIGHT!
Many people will recommend some of their shorter more accessible songs, but I think theres a case to be made for you, when you revisit these guys, listening to memento mori, its 8 minutes of grief at its finest.
YES!!
Hehe yeah i wanted to recommend that one but I took Dead Man Talking from LF//LT instead. That somg has grown on me so hard lately
This is the one I recommended! An emotional masterpiece. RIP TOM SEARLE 🤘
Does everyone agree that there's a sort of unofficial trilogy that goes, Momento Mori, Doomsday, Death is Not Defeat? After first taking note of it, I now frequently listen to the three together like that.
@@FriendOfTrashPandas maybe, sort of. Or atleast you chose that trilogy in your mind. I would say that there is a trilogy that goes like - Gravedigger - Match made in heaven - Royal Beggars
Anyone else see at 4:27 the bright speck on his chair move downwards from the headphones to his heart?
I'm 39% convinced that is Tom hanging around to watch people enjoy their music.
These songs are in our musical B.I.B.L.E.- Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. They convey all our feelings, thoughts & hopes in melody. Music is Life. Life is Song. Song is an embracing of the Universe. Life is short- Music is Forever🎶♾
Literally every architects song made in the last 7 years is a complete banger. For your channel I recommend anything off the Holy Hell album, or "Gone with the wind"
How come Holy Hell before LF//LT?? :(
@@MassiveSpunge Holy Hell just has a bit more grand feel, more layers for him to dissect. Plus it isn't just straight metalcore. Love every album since daybreaker so anything is good!
their new stuff is pretty generic and boring sadly. Hope they find their way back to a good sound.
@@RCmetal11 4-5 song on their new album are really good. You just have to accept it. I dont think they're going back. As much as also I want them to do that. It's their choice and a choice that will help their fame alot wich i hope you aswell are happy for. We cant stop their passion and dreams unfortunately.
@@MassiveSpunge eh in most cases I might agree. But they kind of pulled a parkway drive. They were already super commercially successful with All Our Gods and LT/LF, this switch almost just seems greedy.
Architects is an awesome band , i started listening to them a couple months back , and they just released an Orchestral Version of their song "Animals" which i think you would like a lot , on the same note Bring me the horizon also has a bunch of songs perfomed live with an Orchestra if you wanna check them out :)
He should do Doomed, Oh No, or Drown live at the Royal Albert. He'd love it.
If I could upvote those, I'd give two.
If you started listening to them recently, what do you think about their older albums like All Our Gods Habe Abandonned Us or Lost Forever ? 😊
Every time I hear this song I just can’t imagine how tough it was to be Dan losing his twin brother. RIP Tom Searle I know you’re smiling down on your Architects brothers reaching new musical heights 🖤
This song always brings a tear to my eye
#ALLLLLLRIGHT. Architects is an incredible band and Doomsday is one of their best!
It's me again! Hey Geebz! Please react to more Architects! Hereafter and Gone With The Wind are two of my favs. But also Downfall, Gravity, Goliath, Deathwish, Phantom Fear, A Match Made In Heaven, Royal Beggars, Modern Misery, The Seventh Circle, Libertine, Impermanence ... They're all good :) Congrats on (just about) a year!
I changed my mind. My top pick is Gone With The Wind. And if you want to feel extra emotional listening to it, do a little background into the song/band before listening. It's incredible.
If you do another song by them, as much as I'd like to recommend olfer stuff, they just released a live studio version of the song Animals with a full orchestra and brass section. It's amazing!
^ this please
Architects released very very recently an orchestral version of their new single "Animals". I think you will find interesting, it is really a fascinating journey
So pumped for you to hear more Architects!!!
A little bit about the VOCALS: Sam Carter is a legendary vocalist. His clean singing is beautiful, but he's definitely known for his screams. In my opinion he has perfected the "fry scream" technique, and does an expert job of mixing that same "fry" sound (compression based-grit) with his true cord phonation (singing). On top of this the production is amazing and the vocal layering of screams/singing is wonderfully done. I've seen Architects multiple times and Sam's near flawless performance always amazes me. One of the best live bands 🤘 Awesome reaction Geebz can't wait for more!
Architects is probably one of the biggest influencing bands in metalcore... Some metalcore fans even say, that the album holy hell is the best album (in this genre) ever maid.
The album was written and released after tom (the band's guitarist) died. In this album, you can really feel the anger and despair of the band.
Engineering side: this was mixed and mastered by the duo that does it for Periphery and a lot of other bands with top notch sound: Nolly Getgood (Periphery's former bassist) and Ermin Hamidovic
Former bassist? Since when? Always thought he was still involved
@@justintaylor8645 He’s involved with the band as their mixing engineer and session bassist but does not take part in writing or live anymore
Definitely check out more architects, anything from albums "All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us" and "Lost Forever // Lost Together" is phenomenal but even their other albums have tracks worth reacting/reviewing
the old composer / decomposer line blew my mind
gone with the wind makes me cry every time ) : such a good album
the rhythm guitar player and bass player play the synth sections live. this song was their first after tom searle passed and his brother dan, the drummer used meditation to help him through his passing
I love good lyrics, but the overall of sound of a song is what draws me in at first. Then I'll start paying attention to the different bits, and I go through several phases of loving the same song for different aspects of it. First, I just love the song. Later, I'll love it for the drum work, then it's the intricate guitar bits that keep me coming back, then the vocals, the bass, the lyrics. Hell, it might be something very simple, like a bass slide, or a particular scream, that has me loving it.
Your analysis is incredible! Thx!
That was some intense screaming...actually gave me the chicken skin a few times. Dude was literally rocket blasting his soul into the microphone.
Keep it up!! Love your work and energy! #AWWWWWRIGHT!!!
#alright in for all the Architects. These guys have always been very dynamic and thoughtful in their composition.
Oh my god Yessss!!!!
Love your reactions dude! ALOHA.
You should check out the danish band VOLA , a really cool progressive metal blend between Meshuggah and Depeche Mode , they are fantastic 😍
God the last 20 seconds of the video always stab me right in the heart.
This song is a super emotional song in all ways.... one of there guitarists had written this song and he was the key writer from the start of the band... The guitarist (Tom) passed away from cancer and this is the last song he almost finished.... the drummer was (Tom's) twin brother who you saw holding the crystal in the video.... the way that he played the drums and the way Sam (Vocalist) sang the song was very heavy and emotional and you could feel the pain.... Great Videos.... you should check out Currents- Second Skin
This was such a pleasant surprise from you! Thank you so much for reacting to my favorite band. Would love to see you decompose "Memento Mori" by them as well, I promise you won't regret it!
The end of Memento Mori is an emotional tidal wave. *Swan Song*
Tim Thornhill yeah man, I actually got that whole part tattooed on my ribs. That song means so much to so many people.
Please do more Architects! Also the bass player doubles as the piano player.
Love this song. First time on the channel, really enjoyed it and will be back!
Architects are soo unic. I love all in that band specifically the lyrics.
Architects are an amazing band
Tom Searle had some of most amazing and relentless riffs...definitely check out some previous Architects work! Oh and some new Erra too : )
Oh no....they gave you the Architects. I gotta see this. They are in my library, on the edge of the heavy shelf. Their hooks really stick in head for awhile, their whole compositions make my mind melt at times trying to make sense of it...like Tool or other prog stuff.
For me, It's usually jazz, 70's/ early 80's classic rock or 90's alt rock...Deftones and radiohead (how I found you...and sub'd) keep the vids coming, I look forward to every one of them no matter the material.
You NEED to check out their song "Animals" (Orchestral Verson) holy crap.. powerful, powerful song.
You may have already been told this in the comments, but a lot of what you are hearing as synth/pads is actually clean guitar with a considerable amount of reverb, amongst other processing effects. You actually get a good listen to this in isolation on Nail The Mix's video they did with the producer for their song Gone With The Wind. I really love your analysis of this, and as a new subscriber, I look forward to more of these!
Actually most of those background effects are not from a keyboard... It's layers and layers of guitar arrangements with effects. This band is amazing. You definitely have to check out their new record
If you liked this, you should definitely check out the band Erra. They also have that incredible production, crazy riffage. Their new album has a bunch of bangers. Gungrave is solid.
One of my favorite songs, can't wait to finish this after work.
#allright you are good at this whole audience engagement thing
If you haven't already you should check out the live music video for this song, it somehow has even more emotion
Would love you to check out Pray For Rain by Polaris, they're a fairly recent Aussie prog/metalcore band and they get compared to Architects a lot, this song in particular has an awesome arrangement and form.
#AWWWRIGHT
Geebz becoming an Architects fan makes me so happy!
I'd love to see a breakdown of some Sleep Token, specifically "Higher" or "The Offering" 🙏🏻
I believe he did The Offering already!
@@justynsullivan507 damn he did too, how'd that get past me? 😂
man i really enjoy watching you enjoying the music i enjoy
Fun fact about this band... they don't use pads in this song and in this album. It's actually a guitar. They use a crunchy tone and mix it with a plug-in called Valhalla Shimmer and turn that baby up to 100 and boom... that pad sound... but with a guitar. That pattern that you heard is the guitarist tremolo picking the note. That creates that huge sound. It's truly beautiful and they use the same plug-ing in their clean guitars as well. That creates that ambience. I love that about this band.
That sounds so cool! Where did Josh say he did this?
Great reaction. Love from the Uk
Doomsday was a song that their old guitarist (and also the twin of their drummer), started but never got to finish. Tom Searle was their main composer and lyricist, so their sound changed a bit. They are my favorite metalcore band, so I would love to see Gone With The Wind or A Match Made in Heaven, any song of the Holy Hell album, which is imo the best modern Metalcore album, Broken Cross, and stuff from their new For Those That Wish To Exist album. I would also recommend Bury Tomorrow's Cannibal album, Cannibal and Dark Infinite especially, Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying. #Alright
Heart wrenching video, when you know what it's about.
I wrote a comment 30 seconds in. And now I want to express my awe in your musical explanation and sheer brilliance. I supported Architects back in the day in Manchester and they were so cool. I love you have given them your attention. Have a great weekend my friend
Man oh boy i smiled when i watched this! My all time favorite band. You almost made me cry breaking this down. Thank you! Best channel on youtube by far.
I got another Architects for you that would be lovely for me to watch you listen to (hehe) wich is 'Dead Man Talking' on from the Lost forever, Lost together album. It is one of their finest believe me. You could choose any song and i would be happy. This is juat a recommendation. Have a great week!
Check out Memento Mori. This was written by their guitarist with terminal cancer about facing death. It’s long but gives me goosebumps every time. A Match Made in Heaven is also really good. You can’t go wrong with another from All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, songs like Gravity and Gone With the Wind are good but Momento Mori is amazing.
I JUST RECOMMENDED THIS SONG! IM SO EXCITED! PLEASE MORE ARCHITECTS! HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING! :D
Other Architects recommendations are Hereafter, Black Lungs, Goliath, Naysayer, Royal Beggars, Gone With The Wind. Seriously thank you for reaching to Architects. Great musicians but also fantastic human beings ❤❤
#AWWWRIGHT
Another fun story about this song is that when they released this song back in 2017, they said it was a standalone single and wouldn't be on the next album, Holy Hell. When I bought the album, because it's amazing, I was going to sleep. Now, they didn't put a tracklist on the back of the CD, so when I heard this song on there, I was sat right up in bed with joy :)
interesting fact geebz: they use a weird unique tuning also called the architects tuning that goes like F# F# B E G# C# with the lowest string super low to keep the groove and djenty feel even on a 6 strings guitar
Love this breakdown! Their new album has a lot more experimentation while also keeping their root sound intact. BTW, please react to the new LANDMVRKS, specifically their song Lost In The Waves!
never heard this band before. they sound sick. gonna work through their albums.
Animals is another great song of theirs.
Interesting thing about the video, it takes a lot of visual cues from a movie called The Fountain which is all about accepting the inevitability of death and making your peace with the loss of loved ones; hits hard with the song having been written about the loss of their bandmate Tom Searle.
Huge shout out to Nolly on the production too ! His work is always incredibly well done !!
I didn’t know Nolly did this. That’s awesome.
@@JonnyRottenn__ yeah man ! Absolutely solid work with Nolly on this record. easily one of my favourite producers
Fit for an Autopsy - Black Mammoth the live version is killer.
Anyone who's missing the old Architects as badly as I am check out the new self titled Erra album. It's filled the gaping void...
For sure dive into the bands lyrics in general. There is as much care and attention to detail in their lyrical composition as the musical elements.
AWWWLRIIIGHT!
Erra - Vanish Canvas
Beautiful song
#awwwright
As others have noted, this genre is generally quantified as "metalcore".
Great reaction. Great band. Rest In Peace Tom.
Awesome riff face Geebz!🤘
Wow, I'm early on this one, and one of my fave bands aswell, can't wait. AWWWRIGHT!! Much love from the UK.
Veil of maya - fracture
Protest the hero - from the sky
You’re gonna love em, first is just guitar/drum/production madness. PTH is just an amazing song, hope you get around to do these in the future
Love from sweden
One of my favorite songs ever. This song was from their heart and soul!
Regarding the pad sounds in Architects' music: Most of them guitars! Using a Strymon Big Sky (or Blue Sky) reverb pedal through a Vox AC30. Layered with synth pads too though.
#aaaawwwright lol great video man time to check out this band
After asking for Architects for weeks, I’m sooo glad you enjoyed it as much as you did.
You’ve got to check out some of the new album that came out last month as it’s moved on even more since this song!
Maybe try ‘Goliath’ (which has Biffy Clyro’s singer - if you know them - on it), or ‘Libertine’. #Alriggghhhtttt
RIP tom you are so missed
Thank you so much for this, great analysis and breakdown of the song 👌 RIP Tom Searle 🖤 You should check out Josh Middleton's band Sylosis, he's the other guitarist in the band. I would love for you to do their song "I Sever"! 🤘
Josh is the best current modern riff master. Sylosis is the master class for riffage!
I think Worship Decay would also be a good starting point. They don't have a bad song!
#awwwlright! Keep up the good work my man!
"Proving Grounds" by Stolas is something that I think people should check out 🤙
Their live performances are just as awesome!🤘
he almost seemed scared of it until he started talking about it!!
Architects are incredible. Animals (orchestral version) is a masterpiece
By the way. Just for you to know how talented this band is they produce their own record. Most exactly their lead guitarist and drummer.
You mention how the singer has a great emotional range in this song.. you're completely right. And I bet this one came easier to him than most when you learn about the lyrics. I find this song heart breaking.
Yeees! This was my favorite song for about 2 Years
Normally not super into metalcore with a few exceptions, but this was expertly done and I really enjoyed the song.
You gotta do Syslosis - Worship Decay! Josh Middleton is an insane guitarist!
I like Architects a lot. To me their best song by far is Impermanence.
