Protest The Hero Bloodmeat Reaction & Breakdown Composers Point of View
Protest The Hero Reaction Video
"I'm definitely going to go deep on this band." Please do. Great band, horribly underrated.
HORRIBLY horribly underrated. One of the greatest bands of all time I reckon.
YEAH PLEASE DOOO
I wouldn't say they're underrated. Most people into this kind of music know and enjoy PTH. It's also worth mentioning they never really did a good job of growing their sound, which kinda forced them to lose traction. Old PTH like this is still my favorite from them. Probably played this album over a hundred times lol
@@neil2451 Bro they're definitely underrated 100% and they did an amazing job growing their sound. As perfect as they could have. New Protest is sooo different from Fortress but still just as talented and fast. I can't agree with anything you said haha
@@neil2451 Also i can say almost every single one of my friends and their friends, workmates etc listen to Prog and love Prog and not a single one of them had ever heard of PTO until I showed them recently so yeah definitely underrated.
Holy shit I’d given up trying to get reactors to do Protest the Hero! So glad someone is finally doing it. Thanks to whoever suggested this!
ikr, he reacts to songs and bands others ignore =)
that's why I still have faith he'll check out Cynic someday 😂
@@alejandrocastillo6664 I want him to react to Cynic "How Could I" so bad. I feel like he would be asking how could they... In 1993. They were so ahead it still feels futuristic.
For real bro! NO ONE DOES THEM! For such a great band they get so little love.
@@alejandrocastillo6664 I'd love for him to just sit through Traced in Air start to finish - it's not that long!
What kind of reactors? I mean this is the best reaction channel, and he as a composer is the best, for this kind of music.
My first metal show it was btbam, in flames, protest the hero, and kill switch.
When protest was playing there was a group of people trying to clap along and Rody stopped to acknowledge their efforts but then asked them to stop because they were so off time. He said "It's not your guys fault, it's our fault for writing stupid fucking songs" hahaha
Great first show line up. My first show was killswitch right when Howard joined shadows fall and cradle of filth.
Thats a dope first concert
Mine was Pantera and Slayer it was nuts
Saw this same tour in Saskatoon, good times
I remember that tour! It was the first time I was going to go see btbam and they wended up going on early and I missed them. I was so pissed, but PTH was a good consolation.
@@sisterblazemusic that sucks, but I certainly know the feeling!
The first time I drove 6hrs one way to see born of Osiris, from my home town to Edmonton, Then 9 hrs to Calgary twice. Just day trips. I think asking Alexandria was headlining in Edmonton, then August burns red for the other two in Calgary. They couldn't make it through the border the first two times, then the night before the 3rd ABR confirmed they were gunna make it on a reply to my comment... their bus broke down in Sask 😭
You know you love this album when as soon as Bloodmeat finishes The Dissentience immediately starts playing in your head.
Every.Single.Time
☠
I literally can’t listen to goddess bound and goddess gagged for that reason to me it’s just one big song
@OP
"PREACH!!!"
@@patrickrowland7090hanks for reminding me of Goddess Gagged, that song makes me think of simpler times booting up my playstation to play NHL back then haha
Long time Protest fan, some fun facts:
-When they wrote Kezia (first major-label album), they wrote the music before they could actually play it; they had to learn how to play that fast. They were under 18 at the time.
-The bassist from this song (Arif), left the band after their 4th album (Volition) to compose for theatre and pursue other musical endeavors, he was the primary lyricist until this album as well.
-They publish all their own sheet music and guitar tabs under their own publishing company, Sheet Happens
first fun fact is actually false and they actually hate that people say that
@@Theasaurus
I believe Luke and Tim started Sheethappens together yeeaaars ago, it's so cool to see how it's grown haha
Holy sheet. I discovered sheet happens in the last 6 months and want to buy the whole catalog. Modern metal is a great genre for vinyl and I love the big artwork.
I remember listening to Kezia at high school not long after its release and being so completely blown away that was all being written and performed by kids the same age as me :') Can't believe its been 16 years and PTH are still this tiny niche thing for all the absolute stonkers they've put out.
WAIT SHEET HAPPENS WAS MADE BY PROTEST? WHAT?
PTH doesn’t get enough exposure. Their musicianship is top notch, vocals are incredible. Music is approachable, not all screaming and speed riffing.
I'm a very experienced prog music listener and their style is just always too "chaotic" for my taste. I listened through the entirety of Palimpsest and while there were neat parts I just felt like it was stimulation overload the whole time. I find that I appreciate music with some space here and there. I keep trying these guys out because I hear great things, but... Maybe it's just a matter of not matching my preference in sound.
@@dansourile5444 I complete understand. They are one of the few bands in this style, I guess I dont think of them as prog. They do have elements of prog. I think Fortress has nice breaks/changes in the songs. like Spoils.ua-cam.com/video/WqL_JnnOo9k/v-deo.html or Palms Read ua-cam.com/video/YaGSX_KQwnc/v-deo.html
@@Doohickeydongle I agree, if you come into this band expecting prog then you'll be put off I think.
@@dansourile5444 I hear you on that, though I tend towards harder prog/math core like PTH, DEP, BTBAM. A lot of these style of bands just always keep the dial at 11 the whole time or are so all over the place within one song that I can't find an identity for a particular track. Often there's simply no space or groove in the song. And personally, I need some groove and space to really enjoy the journey of a track. For me, this song has just enough groove and cyclical sound structure that I'm totally on board with it.
@@dansourile5444 Listen to the album Volition, I think it'll be more your speed.
Protest is literally the most underrated band ever. They only ever put out good music, their new album is so good and well written.
Protest The Hero, Every Time I Die and He Is Legend should all be rich and famous.
@@leonardjones6167 i agree! He is legend is based out of nc, and their shows were talked about and sold out, and other states just treated them like an opening act. Super good band!
Shitty music just ain't worth making
I gotta listen to palimpsest again I guess I thought it was their weakest release even tho I do love them so much. I thought Pacific Myth was their best of their newer stuff.
@@leonardjones6167don’t forget SikTh. They’re criminally underrated. They started a lot of this stuff. Death Of A Dead Day is in my top 3 albums ever.
When we got to the vocal "da da dada", seeing your reaction gave me life
Wait til' he gets to Wretch's cat meow breakdown 🤣
C'est la Vie, Mist, and hair trigger are going to give you the most color in their palette, but heretics and killers, sequoia throne, and spoils are going to be the most similar to this.
Really want to hear him break down From the Sky or something from Volition. Really shows off their polish in terms of skill, even with the lineup changes.
I think C'est la Vie is a great next choice. Sequoia Throne is absolutely fantastic as well. There really isn't much by PTH that isn't just a full send.
Dont forget about tongue-twister !!!
Sequoia Throne is the SHIT!!!!!!!!
@@redaffix7320 Skies or Mist from Volition are 2 of my favourite songs, as is Turn Soonest To The Sea from Kezia.
Protest The Hero are simply some of the best songwriters ever.
Protest the Hero - Drumhead Trial
Very underrated protest song, I think you'll like it!
One of my favorites. The dual guitar solo sounds like the guitars are arguing with each other.
Drumhead Trial is super heavy for me, with the lyrical content and the fact that I was listening to it nearly constantly at a traumatic point in my life. But, there’s not many songs out there better than Drumhead Trial.
The last minute of Drumhead Trial is one of my favorite passages of music all time. Gives me chills every time.
they ought to make the female vocals a permanent part of this band .. shits so good
This & "The Canary" & "All Hands" would be my shouts of the newer stuff.
"Plato's Tripartite" is one of my favorite by them
Protest the Hero absolute MUST listen: Sequoia Throne, Drumhead Trial, Clarity, Tidal, Turn Soonest To The Sea, Hair TrIgger, Blindfolds Aside, Palms Read, The Dissentience. Try to avoid the official videos though. A lot of them are pretty old and have awful audio quality.
This list gets me. Most of my favourites are on here.
Yeah but the Hair Trigger video is super fun😁
@@wesleyb27L Yeah, I couldn't agree more!
Don't forget Caravan, Cold Water, Tandem and Moonlight
To me all of Pacific Myth and Palimpset are must listens. What they've been putting out the last few years is just on another level imo.
All of their stuff is A tier, and I've listened to these guys forever, but the last couple releases just hit different.
The entire Scurrilous album is a masterpiece IMO.
my friend sold these guys weed once and sat and ate sandwiches with them lol... fun times
Scurrilous is just insane. My favorite album of theirs by far.
my favourite album is this one (Fortress) , but yeah, Scurillous is just as amazing.
Also my favorite! three songs off that album for me would be: C'est la Vie, Dunsel and The rein of unending terror!
Fortress is peak imo.
Protest the Hero is amazing, their albums Kezia and Fortress are so good
I absolutly love the song Blindfolds Aside
The fact that Kezia was done when they were still in highschool is still insane. One of the best concept albums in metal, and it's their first LP. Crazy talent and musicianship.
I really like volition too
A-fucking-men, saw them twice here in Ottawa, once to promote Fortress and then a ten year anniversary of Kezia. So gooooooood.
Seen them live 3 times. I even love Pacific Myth tbh.
Ridiculously underrated band. They crowdfunded one of their album.
Its hurts my soul that this band never got thier shot to be heard. They are all so talented and have been grinding for decades now
I love that everyone for the most part is suggesting different songs because their whole discography is A+. There's no bad songs
this guy gets it
They still haven't peaked.
Two decades and two band members later, they still haven't peaked
The EP to their latest album blew my mind. THE EP!
I don't really like their stuff past Scurrilous honestly, but it's certainly not bad.
Literally not ONE bad song. The only band I can personally say has zero bad songs.
Holy hell he actually did Protest! Yesss!!
I remember buying this album in high-school and jamming the fuck out on the way home with my buddy. That first listening experience will never be forgotten. My mother hated life, we were on top of the world. Stellar band.
These guys do SO MUCH in 3 and a half minutes, omg
Some personal favorite songs by Protest The Hero: "Blindfolds Aside," "Skies," and "Yellow Teeth"
Yellow Teeth is freaking incredible. The climactic way the final chorus sounds gets me every time
@@Blade658 it makes me want to yeet my guitar out the fucking window though lol. Those dudes are absolute monsters.
Yellow Teeth and Bone Marrow are my top 2
I love skies as well
@@alispie I only attempted the main riff once. The strum pattern at tempo is filthy
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to anything from their album Volition or, their newest, Palimpsest. I would recommend From the Sky or Solliquy. I 100% promise it will blow your mind. They are my favorite band of all time. They have never made a bad album.
Always recommend Skies and Yellow Teeth, my favorites!
I feel like the fireside gets overlooked, how hard that has to be on rody is impressive
This is true. From The Sky has such a wicked punch to it and a masterful evolution into a lower dynamic section that explodes into some of Rody's best vocal work.
Plus, I'm not sure if you've reviewed Plini or not (HIGHLY recommend you look up Plini) but his bass player, Simon Grove, mixed the lastest Protest album, Palimpsest as well
@@thedogtor4390 My vote's on Yellow Teeth, definitely my favourite song from them. Probably in my top 5 songs ever.
Palimpsest is a masterpiece.
Turn soonest to the sea! Always been my favorite track from Kezia, and I've only met one person who felt the same.
One of the few bands that I've love every step of their evolution as a band.
Clarity, The Dissentience, Wretch, Sequioa Throne, Blindfolds Aside, Caravan, Sex Tapes, The Fireside, and The Canary would all be great songs to cover in this format. Truthfully though, you really can’t go wrong. Every album they’ve made has been fantastic.
Thank you for plugging Sex Tapes, that's the first song I ever heard from them and I love it
Caravan was nice addition too, good call man. Certainly not the one with the most complex playing techniques on the list but from a composing perspective, it has to be inspiring. The instrumental version tells a beautiful story I think..
Wretch A+ still one of my favorite songs ever
I continue to cry -bang to the end breakdown of The Canary to this day.
Ughhh! Soooooo much Wretch!!! 😭😭😭
No hate to any current members I still love the band but damn this PTH lineup was my fave when Arif was on bass and Moe was on drums.
i saw them on the tour for scurrilous in baltimore and got to hang out with arif after the show. top notch dude. and they fucking killed it.
@@leem2849 that’s awesome dude, I’ve seen them a lot here in Vancouver. Chillin/smoking with moe and arif in the merch tent at warped tour is my highlight hahaha.
Arif and Moe were the peak of the band.
agreed, it was PTH's gold time
@@jpados They were handing out Kezia for free at a club show down here in AZ waaaaaay back in the day. I remember rody doing a backflip on stage, been my favorite since then
Protest the Hero is probably the greatest band to have ever been. Glad you're as blown away as I was! Enjoy!
I've been listening to this band for 10 years now and I don't see that stopping anytime soon! :)
YES !!!-their album voilition was crowdfunded and they raised so much more than they asked for they hired chris adler to drum for them-money well spent
Whoa I didn't know that cool tidbit
I learnt that at 2 in the morning instead of sleeping and it actually made me understand a lot more abiut Volition, like why I was like "I feel like I know this style of drumming"
@@seriouscasualgamer9580 The drumming on volition is pretty tasty, Adler killed it.
@@RyanCogar absolutely, it's my favourite album of theirs for the drumming alone
it was also Moe's(original drummer for the band) request, he wanted some one who would write drum parts in a similar way to how he would
You should decompose some stuff Between the Buried and me. Them and Protest the Hero have carved out similar niches of craziness. A good intro to them might be Disease, Injury, and Madness. Two bands its hard to pick a bad song with though.
definitely agree with btbam. i say start with selkies or lunar wilderness.
@@leem2849 ants of the sky
Start with Swim to the Moon.
Oh man I'd love to see some reacts to BTBAM Selkies or White walls
I would recommend The Coma Machine or White Walls.
Found out about Protest back in 2006 at a warped tour. Been fanatical about them since. They’re so great! Bloodmeat might be their most epic song, Fortress is a monumental album, Kezia will always be mega nostalgia for me. Every time they’ve evolved as a band has been incredible too
Saw them on one of the side stages at warped in 06! There was like 50 people watching, Rody was wearing a save the tatas tank and going ham 🤌
I think this is the only channel where The Human Abstract could be featured. Their first LP was amazing and Crossing The Rubicon would be the highlight track.
You should check out Mastodon's The Czar or The Last Baron! These are both fantastic prog metal tracks.
The Last Baron! Definitely!
Links to these 2 tracks:

OR
ua-cam.com/video/hPxql0rPmKE/v-deo.html
Their earlier content is not to be slept on either. Hearts Alive, Sleeping Giant, Trilobite, many amazing tracks from all four of their first albums.
Oblivion. But really anything from Crack the Sky will do.
@@AliceC993 completely agree. Crack the Skye just happens to be my favorite album (ever) so I'm being selfish :P
oh damn, he actually did it. I just noticed that he linked their merch and stuff in the description, thats sweet.
also be sure to react to Sequoia Throne, Limb From Limb, Palms Read, Drumhead Trial, and so much more from this amazing band.
Limb From Limb is my all time fav song from them. So friggin good
At 55, Protest the Hero is still one of my favorite bands. I saw them live again last week in Baltimore. Just an amazing show. Been a fan since 2005.
This is the band that changed my perspective on music completely
My favorite band of all time. that song was recorded when they were all 20 years old. amazing band straight outta Canada. Their newest release is phenomenal. you should react to From The Sky by Protest the Hero in the future!!! Their progression as musicians hasn't stopped at all. They have become much more skilled songwriters in their mid 30's
Hey, you probably know more than I do, but since Fortress wasn't their debut and Rody is the youngest member of the band (or at least from the original lineup iirc), then how young was he during the recording of Kezia? Blows my mind.
@@michalodler3567 I am a guitarist. So when i first discovered them in 2008 and finding out that they were all born in 1986 and 1985 (i'm 1986) i was blown away and realized i had to step up my game. Kezia was recorded in 2004/2005.....they probably did most of the writing in 2003-2004 so i guess they wrote and recorded that album between the ages of 17 and 18?
Protest the hero and Vildhjarta are my desert island bands. Love both to death for different reasons.
Love, love, LOVE Protest the Hero! Rody, their vocalist, is so great! They’re so complex and fun. I think you’re ready for Dillinger Escape Plan! I’m not sure what song to suggest. If anyone agrees, make a suggestion. I can’t pick one.
Take the Dillinger Escape Plan challenge: listen to 43% Burnt
i don’t know if he should go to dillinger just yet... they can absolutely turn people off to that genre with one song 😂😂😂 i adore them but that’s a whole other level.
milk lizard would be a decent mid-intensity intro to the band, then go back into miss machine and calculating infinity; finish off with irony is a dead scene and transition into mike patton month. :P
Prancer or Gold Teeth On a Bum
@@leem2849 I get what you’re saying, but his last two reactions were PTH and Carbomb. I think he’s ready to dip a toe into Dillinger. 😊
This is refreshing content that really stands out from the rest of the reaction videos on the tube.
My favourite band since 16 or so. 34 now. Palimphest is just a masterpiece. They are like wine in both ways. You go back, they are better, you go forward, they get better. They are impossible.
Rivet off their newest album Palimpsest is also fantastic. One of my favorite songs from them
That piece just before 6:10 is so cinematic. You can *feel* the Mongol Hordes' horses thundering down on you.
as their gallop meets the earth!!!! \m/\m/ so many good memories with friends from this album
9:59 🤘
Fun fact, the PTH lads weren't old enough to sign their first record deal. I grew up in the region they're from, I'd highly recommend their very early work. They had to get permission from their school to film their first music video and had to get permission to play in venues that sold alcohol. Their dedication to their is world class.
I was so obsessed with their first 3 releases, the Calculated Use of Sound EP, Kezia, and the album this is from Fortress. Kinda lost touch with them after that, my tastes changed a bit, life happened etc. but I’ve been revisiting those albums and have been loving the nostalgia. But man, Fortress was so good, that album was around the time I first found Mastodon, Baroness, other bands and that whole time period in my life was such a wild period for me as I expanded my guitar playing and listening “abilities”. Kezia will always hold a special place in my heart but I can acknowledge just how improved their songwriting was by Fortress.
Please check out Between the buried and me! Hard to pick one song really.
Got into both Protest the Hero and BTBAM in 2008 and it's sure opened my ears to new sonic horizons.
Start with the newer albums, and work your way back. I would personally recommend " voice of Trespass", very progressive.
Damn! I really love protest the hero! I suggest reacting to Cest la vie, and also Mist, those two are great!
Yep these two tracks are amazing and would be great next tracks. Here's the links to these two:
ua-cam.com/video/vKZ-eKBJ9dw/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/A-eT-KpT1vQ/v-deo.html
Mist isn't their most technically complex song, but it arguably has the coolest back story, and is really listenable.
He will wet his pants with excitement when he listens to the new material from PTH! Love from Brazil, man!
Damn this song STILL gives me goosebumps.
“C’est la vie” is amazing. One of my favorites from these guys. Check out some between the buried and me!! White walls is a good one to start with
This reaction made me so damn happy
Kezia is THE most perfect album ever. 15 some years later it still blows my mind that a bunch of 16 year olds wrote and performed such a front to back masterpiece. A lot of their later work becomes a little out there and hit or miss, but Kezia and Fortress are both front to back nothing but solid gold.
Same opinion. Through out high school these 2 albums truly set the stage for what was possible for writing music. Obviously the guitar is so next level and the vocals are truly unique but the bass lines are what sent this band through the stratosphere for me. Really got me 2 hand tapping on the regular and co writing shared riffs as a bass player.
C'est la vie is one of their greatest songs.
Sequoia Throne and The Dessentience are as well
Oh man, this is awesome.
I've seen Protest live 8 times, and their live sound quality is incredible too!
A lot of people have not heard of this band! They’re massively underrated!!!
Friend ...for years this was my favorite band.
These guys were writing well beyond their years, and the complexity of the music/arrangements is matched by the the intelligence of the lyrics. The bassist writes the lyrics, and he's so well-read and an absolute wordsmith when you dive into them.
I listened to them first in high school and when I revisited this album years later I was FLOORED by the scope of the lyrics
You’re rolling through so much of my musical library, I love it! Give a listen to coheed and Cambria 21:13 and Time consumer
HOLY SHIT!@!!!! IM SO EXCITED!! ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE BANDS! I ALREADY LOVED YOU BUT NOW IM HERE FOREVER! THANK YOU DUDE 🤙🤙
Hell yeah dude I feel the same way!
They're homegrown talent for me a couple hours away. Love these guys.
Skies, Little Snakes, Yellow Teeth, The Fireside and C'est La Vie are some of my personal favs that I would always recommend to anyone who wants more of these guy's music. Definitely one of my top 5 all time favorite artists to ever grace my ears.
Their new album is a masterpiece (something I never thought I’d say about a band I’ve been listening to for like 15 years, there’s usually a drop off in quality, or nostalgia is too strong for the old stuff), any song from that is worth reacting to. Highly rec From the Sky or The Fireside.
Scurrilous always gets over looked and it’s amazing, Hair-Trigger is my rec from that.
Numenorean - "Adore"
It's a fantastic blackened/post metal track with lots of dynamics. I think you'll really enjoy the journey of it.
Amazing album.
Pretty decent band right there. Unreqvited is another one.
Yes! I've been trying to get other reactors onto this song.
This was almost my AotY for 2019. It's remained in my top played and this song in particular is one of the best songs I've heard in a decade I think
Band: Karnivool
Song: Cote
First song on their first album, truly a sonic masterpiece
Roquefort
Favourite band, can't recommend them enough.
Watching in anxiety, fearing he will knock over the cup any second. Rock on!
He knows what he’s doing
This whole album for me was great, I’ve listened to earlier stuff, this one grabbed me. I do go back to it even now, and it’s just great. Never bored of it.
Saw them and hung out with them in a very small capacity on their trips here to Newfoundland. Awesome guys and great band. Their song Mist is about Newfoundland so they'll always have a place in my heart.
'From the Sky' off the new album is a banger worth checking out.
The whole album fortress is my favorite, however the arrangement on Plato's Tripartite is definitely top tier.
As soon as he said "I'm going to do a deep dive on these guys" I rushed down here to recommend that song. Best tune on Volition. It's one of the most perfectly orchestrated songs I've ever heard. And I would think that any kind of producer would love to listen to and break down something like that.
The build up and ending of Plato’s Tripartite is incredible. Basically any track with Jadea Kelly is golden.
Thank you for listening to PTH, hopefully we'll get more! So let me just pick a song from every record - "Blindfolds aside", "Bone Marrow", "Hair-Trigger", "Skies", "Harbinger", "The Canary". Cheers!
The song Blindfolds Aside by Protest the Hero was written when they were 16. Still blows me away
Hearing him doing these compositions makes realize why I like these bands now I find myself going back to these bands and songs major props 🤘
Dude you should definitely check out their latest album Palimpsest. They are a band from Toronto, Canada and I absolutely love them. Their latest album, to me is an amazing step towards their complex sound.
Sikth - "Bland Street bloom" or " Sanguine seas if bigotry."
Definitely a band that blends aspects of periphery and PTH, but still unique. I definitely prefer Sikth.
saw these guys play live years and years ago, the technicality is even more amazing to see in person
Yes! Protest don't get the recognition they deserve!
"No Stars Over Bethlehem" was the hook for me on this band.
Please check out omnipresent perception by beyond creation! The song has an amazing fretless bass solo, incredible musicians!
I've been trying to play Protest the Hero songs on guitar for about 10 years. I can now finally play bloodmeat and hair-trigger, but it took so much practice. Incredible musicians with complex and fun riffs to learn.
This has me excited to check them out again. I'm gonna go pull this album out next time I'm in the car.
Skies from their album Volition is great too.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thousand times yes
Protest the Hero's song "Skies" is a particular favorite of mine, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the songs people are suggesting.
that one is so damn good
Oh shit. Another Skies vote. It’s gotta be next.!.!
I absolutely love that this is the first song on the record, total pump up, tells you all you need to know.
They have a song on that album called Sequoia Throne that gives me chills.
For the love of all that is holy, please do more Protest. I’ll donate $100 to your charity if you do the entire Volition album. Thank you for what you do!
This offer still stands. I need more Protest!
@@drewctaylor thats kind of a major amount of work for 100 dollars though
Honestly, everyone is mentioning a lot of their older stuff, but their more recent stuff on the album they released last year, Palimpsest, is amazing and even more technically deep composition-wise.
Fortress is in my top 3 metal albums of all time. From front to back, this album is an absolute masterpiece 🤌
I saw them live in a tiny tiny venue in Hamburg like 10 years ago. Towards the tail end of the show half the audience was on stage so the lead singer joined the crowd on the floor instead. It was a romp and a half 😁
I get anxiety watching how many times he comes close to knocking over his coffee!
Haha. Me too.
Geebz, how's it! Hope you're well. I know Meshuggah Clockworks and Enslaved Havenless is right around the corner. Super stoked
This is in my top 5 favorite albums of all time, but I could never describe why. It's nice to hear a composer articulate the same thoughts I've had and put it into words.
I LOVEEEEEEE that you reacted to this band and dove DEEP into their alternative style of music!!
Did anybody recommend Daughters yet? If not, well, there it is.
Seems like Daughters would be a good selection for any react channel.
Fuck yes. Their self-titled blew my mind, like Elvis breakdancing on a malfunctioning jet engine.
I've recommended them a few times. All of their stuff is bonkers but _You Won't Get What You Want_ stands out to me.
@@alondite215 it's truly oppressive
He didn’t say aloha to me at the start and I’ve never felt so betrayed.
Had to come back to this review.. Just saw Protest The Hero last night in Newcastle, Australia.. They played this song, and it was aaaaaaaaaaamazing!!!!! Every note on point, just insane!!
Blindfolds Aside and Heritics and Killers are where I started with them. They’re tremendous and I’ve road with them since their beginnings.
Amazing band of my fellow Canadians. It’s always a three-way tie for me between Kezia, Fortress, and Scurrilous for best album. Palimpsest has been a nice new addition to the catalogue though.
Please do a reaction next to Sleep Token’s “Say That You Will”: ua-cam.com/video/NCGgmABxLLY/v-deo.html
PLEASE MAKE SOME BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME REACTION!!!!!
Oh my god! A band from my hometown!!! So good that you are appreciating their stuff!
Bone marrow, sequoia throne, blindfolds aside, tidal wave
Hell yes!! I got to see Protest play through this entire album back in the late 2000's!! One of my favorite experiences. Unbelievably talented band!! Really nice guys too!
I saw them perform the entire album in 2018 haha. Probably my favorite show I've been to
