#Spiritbox #Metal #NikNocturnal
The sickest thing about Courtney’s screams is that they’re in key lol. You can hear she follows the key* changes perfectly, much like she does in Belcarra as well.
*chord
Yeah I love that aspect of this band. The drummer follows suit too, he always changes his symbols and heads to match the key of the song.
@@Cerecyte1221I hear people complaining about the drummer for this band and don’t understand their beef with him at all. The riffs call for relatively simple and tight drums and he nails it.
Yesssssss Courtney is great in that way
idk who tf got beef with him, he is an absolute machine behind the kit!@@SothorosDjents
Her screams are *pitched*
The *key* is the specific arrangement of intervals you use based on the western 12 note chromatic scale *A-G* with a sharp/flat of each note directly after each note besides the notes B and C + E and F
The key in this song does change and I’m not gonna say I can name what they are just after a brief listening, but what you said is just the wrong terminology entirely and you’re gonna piss theory snobs off and confuse others that don’t know anything and then they’ll make a fool out of themselves repeating the shit you said because they saw someone else say it so confidently
Addendum for clarification: screams are normally an atonal sound. They can’t be pitch corrected with programs such as Autotune because they lack any tonal consistency that would allow them to be.
(Andrew Baena has a wonderful video on this topic)
If you can “pitch” your screams naturally, however, it means you can get closer to an actual tonic clarity with a noise that otherwise wouldn’t. It doesn’t mean you’re in key or hitting any of the notes within that key unless you’re “tonally” screaming, or singing with “heavy distortion” which is a sound you can find very often in bands like architects and bad omens, where they are fully hitting notes. Chris liepe has a plethora of videos on learning how to do that very technique if anyone is interested in free and valuable education.
You will never find a single instance of anyone referring to screams as being in key, this guy is using anecdotes from entirely different concepts to justify his original stance.
The whole EP has been incredible, spiritbox does not disappoint
This breakdown had me chewing on pretzels like I was a breakdown beaver
Spitbox 😂
@@GabrielXDrums brooo noooo not the autocorrect again 😭😭😭
dude, "breakdown beaver" is my new favourite expression
Breakdown. Beaver 😭🤓
@@PeterTurbo4Ever @niknocturnal anything can be metal part 400 breakdown beaver 🦫
My dawg this literally finished premiering...this man is a time traveller
*privileged
@@coldmoonlight6361 OR being friends with the artists
Yeah he just got it sent by the label
He interviewed them so I imagine he got first dibs, and was sent it.
I've had the album since Thursday
Privalaged by living in new Zealand
01:02 Hysteria highly recommended, imo its best breakdown in modern metal
The Void is my absolute favorite Spiritbox song, lol. I love the drums and the tempo and the "soaring through the sky" feel.
I plan on waiting in hell for people who don't like The Void.
@@GeekFurious the void was pretty meh, honestly, spirit box kinda fell off
are you drunk or just deaf?@@MrFearlesskiller
@@gonzaloffline35 rage bait
@@MrFearlesskiller100% agreed. They haven't made a good song since Circle With Me.
Nick: "What song should I make a video on Friday?"
Courtney and Mike: "Ultraviolet"
Nick: ok Angel Eyes
Honestly that was my favourite song on the ep, I do love some chonks and brootality, but the vibes got me in that song
The track you're talking about is Hysteria. It's one of my favorites from them and it has one of the heaviest breakdowns I've ever heard.
He seems to have a problem remembering amazing songs.
Spiritbox's breakdowns are so good because they're just unique, not just heavy noise. Courtney's ability to sync with them is insane.
@@SG-us4gz Still a newcomer to the metal world tbh, so far not going much beyond Knocked Loose in terms of heaviness.
@@Krzysiek9521I appreciate the honest reply, I deleted my snobby comment and apologize for my tone.
Welcome to metal, I hope you enjoy your journey into the wildly different genres until you find what really gets you going.
@@SG-us4gz I didn't find anything worth apologizing for, but appreciate your politeness.
I'm taking my time, it's been 2-3 years, but I'm the type of guy to really get into one band and then listen to their catalogue on repeat. So far I only know a few bands well and I'm slowly expanding my knowlege.
Going back to stuff being heavier than other stuff, I think it's very subjective. For example, for me slower usually means heavier. Contrast is also very important to me - a nasty breakdown in a diverse song (look: ST's The Summoning for example) hits harder than when the whole track is an "ass-beater" (like Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail), even though the breakdown by itself is much heavier.
The transition from Too Close/Too Late into Angel Eyes is beautiful.
This EP is spectacular. Simple as that.
I was waiting for this react so much.. Today was such an epic day to listen to Spiritbox, the contrast between Ultraviolet & Angel Eyes is PERFECT! Discovered them with Rule of Nines & Blessed Be, and they are still my favorite band after all these years.
Holy Roller (deservedly) gets all of the clout but Silk in the Strings is right up there and deserves more love, super underrated. Cellar Door and Angel Eyes are right up to par with them. New EP slaps
I love listening to Secret Garden up to Eternal Blue... start off catchy and melodic, then headbang all the way through Silk in the Strings and Holy Roller, then recover with Eternal Blue 🤘
silk in the strings bruuv 🙏
all of you sleeping on Hurt You frfr
Electric cross is a super underrated banger as well
When first hearing it, I didn’t like Silk In The Strings at all but repeated listening to it in the context of the album anyway…and then one day it just hit me, absolutely loving it since then, as you say deserves much more love
Yes I love that you can hear sounds from all their music combining into this masterpiece. I love Ultraviolet and Courtney's performance.
The djent chug on the breakdown hitting between beats really caught me, makes it more unnerving - love that wrinkle
Unleash the Archers, Spiritbox...man, Canadian metal is great
Also love how every vid has Courtney just singing normally, but the actual in studio voice she's done for the song destroys your soul. The contrast really adds to the whole experience
My favourite Canadian metal band is blasphemy
Are they really Canadian? Mike is the only actual Canadian in the band now lol. Courtney is a southern belle from like Alabama, zev from Pennsylvania if memory serves right, and Josh from Alabama as well
@@DrDipsh1t kind of both. She moved to BC as a teenager.
Brand of sacrifice too
UTA is awesome
Song you were missing in the beginning is Hysteria, one of my all-time favorites
Outro is insane
This goes so hard; good lord. From the vocals of Courtney non stop ripping, to the drums, guitar… man. Speechless
This new EP is so good! Probably my favorite of their songs. You can really tell they were passionate about it instead of pressured to make it.
The song you couldn't name was Hysteria by the way lmao
3:42 "...автономном режиме", Nik are you fully embracing russian at this point? :D
вот я тож не понял, че за нафиг. то ли софт нашенский(?) то ли фиг пойми че за намёк... а может... а может... он на астралинксе сидит О_О =)))
Тусич с Сашкой так просто не проходит)
This is the standardgraphic for a Missing/Offlinefile in Premiere pro, his faceccam Videofile was Missing there, they contain 3 or 4 lenguages on that graphic😅
Brooo it blows my mind that I saw Courtney and Mike back 2015 at the All Stars Tour in Atlanta with IWABO and to see them now is like wow, amazing stuff 🔥🔥
Hysteria!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ (that's the song you were blanking on Nic)
Glad to hear of someone appreciating Belcarra as much as I do. I feel like it doesn't get as much love as it should! It was the first Spiritbox song I heard as well, and it's probably still my favorite song by them. This one is sooo goooood though!
5:04 put the face with "did we Go lower?!" On a shirt, i'd buy
I just watched their new video. Wonderful as always! And I agree with you, Nik)
I've absolutely loved this piece of art!! I've been ecstatic all day about the fact that I have noticed things each time I listen to it. Just pure fucking awesomeness!!!
Hysteria. The song Nik couldn't remember
Love that they brought back lyrics from the bridge in Jaded and put them in the pre breakdown to Angel Eyes, not sure what that's called, like a motif? Idk lmao but I like
The breakdowns on Fear of Fear are just BRUTAL. Spiritbox is so amazing.
People on Reddit think this EP is boring, but those people don't matter, EP freaking slaps!!!!
you really take into consideration opinions from reddittors? 💀💀💀💀
R/metalcore is a joke bro don't worry
Reddit is full of a bunch of neckbeard coomers that complain about everything like cringe liberals.
Hey man to each their own. I found this EP pretty okay but mostly forgettable. This song and the Void are pretty good though.
This band as a whole is boring.
Never heard of Spiritbox until I started watching your channel. Can’t stop listening to them now
Finally got the riff that had me anticipating this song for the entire time until now. Worth the wait 100%
Love it❤ and the little Premiere -OfflineFile at 3:40😂
The shots with the burning steel wool are FIRE, They’re also pretty sweet lol mad props to the cinematographer
Spiritbox: Breathes. Nik: Time for a new reaction video
SAME
Man, Zev is such a beast. Plus, Mike is a genius at arranging Wow! Good stuff, Spiritbox
1:02 hysteria
Your reactions are always hilarious, dude. So funny af! 😂😂
Phenomenal. Keeps getting better
the song hit so hard the video of his cam corrupted at 3:40
vildhjarta and dethmask ep influence is awesome omg i love new spiritbox
This track literally blew my mind. Being a newer fan..I didn't realize they got down like that
OK my favourite breakdown of 2023. Haven't heard a breakdown that hits me instantly in a long long time. It's that clever rythm
"Spiritbox, they just make me smile"
Perfect
Damn. Banger! The break is just incredible.
Thx for the reaction nik. Spiritbox is a phenomenal band, this song is greatness. Courtney is a goddess, Mike's guitar playing is insane and Zev's drumming is ridiculous.
I've been really diggin "cellar door" off the EP
2:52 that little bit sounds like the gate of ivory riff Mike wrote for Dayseeker !
this EP is my favourite new music for a while. So good!
awsome stuff man
You need to write a spirit box song and use Harper for the vocals, that'd be badass
I really liked when Nik transformed into a Adobe missing footage error screen. Was that your Halloween outfit?
Im very hungover and that comment made me giggle thanks dude
You got this video up so fast!
Haha listened to this ep this morning and when this song kicked in… I was sold
too close too lost is my fav song from this EP
Love that Josh Gilbert joined up, made me get into Spiritbox and they are awesome all around
Spiritbox band fantastica ❤
I absolutely ADORE Courtney's resting-bitch-face/curious disgust expression, my GOD I wanna aspire to mastering that expression. What an idol.
Belcarra 2.0 but with beats and crunchy wholesome goodness. That pitch shift together with the drums is so good. The drums and guitars are super tight. They really drive the groove into your bones. Solid track!
4:49 the song was already a banger. And then I felt my soul leave my body hnggggg
Mike had a short showing the recording of the chorus riff from a while ago. I knew I had heard it somewhere before
I listened to the ep beginning to end on release and made the STANKEST of faces when angel eyes kicked in
I love I loved iwabo for a long long time but I’m glad they when in this direction playing more in her zone instead for the memes
Oh so excited. Nik, I much preferred when you played it through uninterrupted first them did the commentary 🖖
I'm just waiting for an album...
I swear it will be wild 🤘
The mara effect pt 1 and 3 are my fav
I listened this ep 3 times in a row today. And I like spiritbox, but my chaotic mind loves IWABO!!!
This song is like Obzen from Meshuggah mixed with Ashen from Humanitys Last Breath
Amazing
The one Nik is referring to in the beginning is Hysteria. Still one of my favorite songs.
1:06 HYSTERIA
i know Courtney is a busy woman but man oh man i hope she makes a one take video for cellar door and angel eyes gahdamn
I agree with Cellar door being more evil and this one more bouncy.
Nah I take it back. Watched the music video like 4 times. This shit is evil too if you are ready the lyrics while watching the video.
It can’t be heavier and filthier than Cellar Door I thought.. and then Angel Eyes happened 🥲 what a beast of a track!
Bruh imagine my complete surprise realizing thats iwabo vocalist and guitarist in spiritbox metal musicians be changing up they look so much i never realized an i never look into the individuals mostly. Unless it's guitarist and they gotta be shredding. Wild
This gives me Mara or Belcara. SOME END. I cant put my finger on it. but I HEAR IT! & THIS IS MY FAVE! As soon as Mike teased us with it MONTHS ago, I knew I'd LOVE!
exactly what I thought when I first heard this song. it's like they released a draft song of what holy roller would've sounded at their first attempt.
Breakdown reminded me of Aeon from Crystal Lake Breakdown
I was working on my Music Around the World Project and started my Canada (12 bands) part, while I was whittling down my Costa Rica pick and finish Austria. Just wanted to let you know, you made my Brand of Sacrifice section, Nik. I waited for today to finish my Spiritbox section.
hace mil años no hace estás "reseñas" y las únicas dos en mucho mucho tiempo son de sus amigos de spiritbox, rarísimo...
Love them❤ cheers from Panama
Not gonna lie I had a big smile on my face from the get go. I knew it was gonna be heavy. This made me so happy.
I swear to god, Spiritbox just keeps getting better. I was shocked at many parts
1:03 Nik is talking about HYSTERIA (I assume) which has a nice breakdown (aka "boo boo buuh") and released along with ROTOSCOPE and SEW ME UP
Spiritbox are gods of metal.
Sounds awesome!! When I clicked on this I thought they had covered Throwdown's Holy Roller🤘😂🤘
Fuck yeah, but didnt courtney say to you to check out "Ultraviolet"? :p
Hysteria is the one you were thinking of Nic, my personal fav from the ep
I also agree with the creep. This and Cellar Door went hard throwing it back to the whole spooky, scary spiritbox schtick of pre 2020. I'm not mad one bit.
Very sad that we probably will never hear another Ryo feature going forward. This would have been a perfect throwback opportunity.
Spiritbox just gets better and better.
absolutely in love with spiritbox...
😂😂🤣🤣 ..."are we doing dummy again?" love it Nic!
Your ears have been blessed *~😊
Nick your best musician and best reaction❤
So much good shit to come out lately, jeeezus
7:03 My exact reaction of when my boss emails me that I have to come into the office on Saturday..
I discovered spiritbox because Elizabeth. Its such an amazing band
I felt just liked you felt. subbed, keep on entertaining us! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
1:02 The breakdown of Constance probably
3:43 He was so stoked that the source video went offline!
I got an ad right as the breakdown started. Needless to say, i am now using an ad blocker, and don't care that UA-cam hates me for it.
Don't mess with my breakdown happy moments.
1:00 probably hysteria, that reminds me of the end of it
