I came across this the other day and have listened to it a few times since. Stunning. This is the first music release by Earthside in six years, and this track, as well as the whole album, was inspired by a painting by Goya called "Duelo a Garrotazos" or ("Fight with Cudgels"). According to interview this is about mankind destroying so much - 'All That We Knew and Ever Loved". The drummer, Ben Shanbrom, says the "vindictive pettiness that we see all around us in our politics, our arguments, and daily interactions is something universal and terrifying in human nature". They tried to capture that in the video and music.The piece was composed by the keyboardist, Frank Sacramone.
Goya's painting presents a sad but true vision of Spain (if that was his intention or even if it wasn't). In the 120 following years, we went through four civil wars. Still today, two centuries after it was painted and after 85 years of peace, 'the two Spains' are alive and kicking. Kicking each other, that is.
Earthside is so underrated. I'm amazed at the amount of detail they put into each song. It's not about making the money by pumping out songs for them. Also to add.....Aww Right!!!
I've never heard of Earthside but I will definitely delve into them much deeper for certain. I truly enjoyed and appreciated their musical composition & the visual art that enhanced and blended perfectly with the storytelling. I love this kind of presentation. It had me on the edge of my seat for sure! Awwwright! 🤘🔥🤘❤️

Thanks for the great review and analysis 🔥 For your information actually the video clip was made after the music. The fact that the music itself already tell an incredible story, we just had to close our eyes with Sylvain Favre and imagine the visual story by listening. We found all the part in the music and use the grid as a guide to the structure of the visual story. Actually the music structure is really similar and fit for the kind of structure we find in « story » from Robert mckee which is a reference for structuring scenario for film. You have the first event that change everything’s, the « discover the world » part, introduction to the goal, several obstacles then multiple climax… It was an incredible experience for us to make this clip/short film, and I can’t thank you enough for your time spend on reviewing it 🔥 Maxime Tiberghien.
Awwright... I'm surprised not to see anything from VOLA in your catalog. I think good places to start would be "Napalm" off their new album, or perhaps either "Alien Shivers" or "Owls," each from an earlier LP.
Wow! Such an experience! Totally hooked, the music pulled me in and left me in awe. Great video Geebz! MESHUGGAH - i (One track EP, 21 minutes) THE FIVE HUNDRED - Walls of Jericho
Seeing as Leprous' drummer is one of the two drummers on this I'd love to hear something from the BRAND NEW Leprous album! My standout favorites are: Nighttime Disguise Silhouette Shadow Side
Awwwright! You should hear Caspian and Year of No Light, both come from the same school of Earthside, Cult of Luna and The Ocean that you have already reviewed here, I think you would enjoy them.
Key Of Geebz : Would you consider tackling Earthside’s newer track titled “We Who Lament” featuring female vocalist Keturah? This song is emotionally visceral and so beautifully assembled. Thank you for your consideration. 🙏
I watched them in Seattle, on tour with Leprous. Maybe five years ago or so. They were pretty good. Also visited with them before the show, and they were pretty cool dudes
I also saw them on that tour and met them after the show. They all signed my ticket and were super nice guys! I liked them so much I kept following them
I think there's only two songs that I've been wanting to see my favorite channels listen to: Rivers of Nihil - The Silent Life and Revocation - That Which Consumes All Things
Awwright! Here till the end of the video. You have to do Mob Mentality from Earthside feat. Lajon Witherspoon. You'll be blown to pieces: ua-cam.com/video/WhtEusYxATQ/v-deo.html
It amazes me how they got the attention of those higher up that funded the band to allow them to put out a video with this level of production on their first album.
Thanks for the good breakdowns! My wife and I have been having fun listening to you run through a lot of our favorites. If you ever get the time to check it out, I’m hoping you would enjoy breaking down the composition for the song Young Robot from Dance Gavin Dance. Very flowy, lots of layers, fun musical mix ups to exaggerate the emotions. I anticipate it’s not hugely requested, but would love to see your thoughts!
Really interested in looking into Earthside, love your vids, love the music you're introducing people to, please do more 12 foot ninja and awwwright from the end
I've said this a few times earlier, but please check out SepticFlesh - "Dark Art" , or "Prometheus". To put it short, their guitarist Christos Antoniou is an orchestral composer
Yeah I've been wanting him to get on ERRA and some more Loathe. Augment, ultraviolet, crimson, or just about anything from the recent self-titled. Some of the best guitar riff writing I've ever heard tbh.
If you want to do more instrumental reactions, you should check out the band Explosions In The Sky. They do some soundtrack work as well, but their albums are amazing. "Your Hand In Mine" is probably the most well known song, but "The Birth And Death Of The Day" and "Disintigration Anxiety" are very good as well. Cheers!
Just wondered if you have ever done a breakdown of Standout computer game music scores, such as Halo, Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous or Stellaris would be my suggestions. i know you probably have a MASSIVE backlog of titles your still wanting to do breakdowns of, just figured i would enquire.
@@UnafraidCookie, I was merely pointing out the majority of suggestions in the comments from the aforementioned video. Many have contributed greatly to music in the video game landscape that are often underappreciated.
Great diagnosis again. If you need a video that is right in your wheelhouse, checkout BMTH - Doomed Live at the Royal Albery Hall! Has to be the live version. You will not regret it.
Definitely need to check this band! If they collaborate with Baard Kolstad, they cannot be bad :P The whole song is definitely a journey it songs some grandiloquent, progressive post rock! If you get a chance to check them: Dir En Grey - Vinushka, it would be amazing!
Hey, Geebz! I listend this time and I come here to tell you, please, before the countdown ends, you must do Mob Mentality from Earthside. You'll be revisiting Eathside and also Sevendust, as the feat in this song is Lajon Witherspoon: ua-cam.com/video/WhtEusYxATQ/v-deo.html After you anniversary, I'll continue to remind you to check Bent Knee! Awwright!
It's painful that this video will probably be played 200,000 times maximum, less than most piano playing cats, and the song will be less known than Friday than Rebecca Black. Side note complete disrespect from UA-cam when I searched this band it changed my search to Earth's ide 😔
You NEED to take a listen to ERRA Geebz! I recommend "The Hypnotist" or "Dementia", two very special and badass songs! Love your breakdowns of metal songs!
@@interdimensional115 Dude, I listen to ERRA because I rarely find ANY band with the same sound and complexity to their tracks... But Achitects? Nah, I think you should listen to ERRAs last album (perhaps even every album) and rethink that statement, because they are two completely different bands imo. I used to listen to Architects A LOT a few years back, and I really enjoyed their stuff on LF // LT and AOGHAU. But the latest two albums have been a bit simple and bland for my taste... I really hoped they would grow on me, but they never did. Both ERRA and Architects have a really special place in my heart, and both make great music! But I wouldn't call ERRAs music 'basic' and 'no substance' and not even CLOSE to being copycats of Architects! But that's just my opinion. Have a good one ;D

There were two drummers, Earthside’s and Baard. You hearing two snares was actually just them working off each other and doing a sort of “drum duel.”

@@carolynm.7530 You are in for a real treat! Check out the song (and video) "A Dream In Static" (title song off their first album).
@@paulcoste7830 Thanks Paul for the suggestion. I'm going to check it out.
Whoa, this was like a cinematic masterpiece.

I had to click off your video to go watch the actual video in full screen because *MY GOD* that is one of the best music videos I've ever seen
Thanks. I love this band so much I waited for the premiere of this song on UA-cam. These guys are amazing talented.
Stunning. Beautiful. All the right feels.
This is very very nice I'll be listening now!
This song blew my mind! I agree, earthside is underrated, these guys are more than amazing!! Masterpiece!
Awwright...
I'm surprised not to see anything from VOLA in your catalog. I think good places to start would be "Napalm" off their new album, or perhaps either "Alien Shivers" or "Owls," each from an earlier LP.
The video is like a short movie and the song it's soundtrack. Awesome job
trust me, the visuals was done for that exact video.
What an experience. The visuals, the music. Chefs kiss.
Wow! Such an experience! Totally hooked, the music pulled me in and left me in awe.
Great video Geebz!
MESHUGGAH - i (One track EP, 21 minutes)
THE FIVE HUNDRED - Walls of Jericho
Leprous have a new album out. Aphelion. Check out Nighttime disguise!!!
The new album is phenomenal!
I was not aware they released new music. Sweet! Been listening to A Dream in Static for a long time
Always here till the end, my friend.
Seeing as Leprous' drummer is one of the two drummers on this I'd love to hear something from the BRAND NEW Leprous album!
My standout favorites are:
Nighttime Disguise
Silhouette
Shadow Side
I don't normally do this, but if you liked Nighttime Disguise, you can check out my cover if you have the time and desire to do so. Thank you.
@@Gabriel-Cabana damn dude, that's pretty fast work! I'll do that at some point
@@neilvanmiddendorp8162 It doesn't include video or mixing, that's why. I'm not patient enough for that. I compensate with good sounding gear though.
Awwwright! You should hear Caspian and Year of No Light, both come from the same school of Earthside, Cult of Luna and The Ocean that you have already reviewed here, I think you would enjoy them.

Awwright! 🤙
Geebz! React to Earthside - Contemplation of the Beautiful please. It's also massive and has vocals
ALRIGHT!

One step closer to GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR - SLEEP.
Great video!
This was very different but also very cool. I've never heard anything like this awwwright
Idk maybe you should checkout the new bruit album
Request for the song 'Outliers Retrospect' by the band AVIATIONS 🤘
That is a good question. I had thought the video was made for the song, but it could have been the opposite.
Alright!
I've said this a few times earlier, but please check out SepticFlesh - "Dark Art" , or "Prometheus".
To put it short, their guitarist Christos Antoniou is an orchestral composer
Awww right!
Aw-right!!
For your 30-day countdown I really suggest you check out another one of their songs - Mob Mentality
They have other great songs with guest singers. Got to see them live with Leprous years ago. Glad they have a new album coming out.
Awright! :)
Awwright! 🤘
Haven't peeled out. STILL HERE! AWWWWRIGHT!!!
ERRA - EYE OF GOD. Geebz, it's time 😆 Erra is an insanely good band, you really need to check them out!!!
I've been wanting him to listen to Dementia forever
Yes, Erra is absolutely a MUST!
Yeah I've been wanting him to get on ERRA and some more Loathe. Augment, ultraviolet, crimson, or just about anything from the recent self-titled. Some of the best guitar riff writing I've ever heard tbh.
@@albreezy26 Agreed! And more Loathe is always welcome 🤘

He did Halo 1 main theme. Hasn't done anymore that I can recall. He was bombarded with Steve Vai's Halo 2 theme and Mick Gordon rip and tear.
