Hey, I play keys in this band. Thank you so much for making this video, this was an awesome reaction to watch! You even acknowledged nice details like choir lines and the intro arpeggiated synth! x ) fun fact, that one plays during all choruses and it's also the same sound of both key solos here! (6:12 and 7:19). And knowing you don't usually listen to metal makes your capability to appreciate it even more valuable. Congrats on that wonderful skill, you are awesome! -Jose "Sona"
This makes A LOT more sense now. Since I said those "guitar solos" sounded so clean with no real crunchy distortion to the sound. They weren't guitars at all lol had me fooled! I'm usually way more analytical, but glad you still enjoyed it. Thank you for making amazing music & keeping the league community WILDLY entertained
Thanks to you! The solo at 3:48 on your video is a guitar one indeed, just not the others! But yeah, most people will think it's a guitar unless they are more familiar with power metal bands in which this type of keyboard sound / solo is more commonly found. Again, I loved your energy and I can clearly tell you are super talented and are able to analyze more for sure. Would love to see what you think of other songs but I will come by nonetheless = )
I've never seen Joey react this hyped for a metal song before until now. Pentakill's music making him want to jump out of his seat is a treat to watch.
So, metal is.. ALOT more varied than most people think. it's probably the most expansive and varied genre of music there is because there are just so many different sub-genres of metal. Pentakill has alot of elements of power metal and symphonic metal.
@@KidKat__ yep, I know people were going on about how Sona has tubular bells on her etwahl in the new Pentakill skin but it's like... They're used ALOT in metal actually?
pls react to Lightbringer (both versions, the 2015 one and the Acoustic that released with this album), one of the best songs and a really fucking banger of an acoustic cover
Can back this up. Lightbringer acoustic is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I want to hear more of their songs in acoustic, but Lightbringer was definitely the best one to start with. Joey won't regret listening!!
The rest of the album is is good and all, but if I had to have to analyze one more song, yeah, Lightbringer. Both versions just for the comparison and the shock of the difference between the 2.
If nothing else from Pentakill, both Lightbringers would be a great comparison, hearing it acoustic still throws me off a little, it'd be great to get Joey's take!
Riot’s music department always kills it when it comes to their concept groups. There is a reason we’ve waited 2 years for this album. Same with K/DA, they always make sure the albums are perfect before they release them. Definitely would recommend listening to all 3 pentakill albums, if you make a video that would be dope, but even on your own time. They are definitely worth the listen. Great reaction dude, keep up the good work. 🤘🏽
If you thought this song was all over the place, wait until you hear the full album. Every single song has twists to them, each one unique, and not only do they feel *good,* but they feel like *Pentakill* Great reaction as always!!
Would absolutely watch you react to every song on this album (and ones off the last two albums too!) if you wanted to, no matter how spaced apart they are! Could be one a month and I'd still be grateful just to see you check them out, as passionate and knowledgeable as you are about music. Love what you do, man, keep it up!
"Tell me more about you. Do you like toast?" Me, literally holding a half eaten slice of toast: .......no..? Dammit Nato, that was spoopy! Absolutely love the hell out of your reacts and breakdowns. Originally came for the league songs reacts but the breakdowns you give, even for song genres you aren't a huge fan of, are what hooked me. You analyse the chords, instruments and various tricks of the trade I have never known about or even given a second thought to, and it's given me a deeper appreciation for music as a whole. I hope you keep doing what you do for a long time to come because you have such a fire personality you share with your viewers that it makes the video an experience. You have fun with the music, you share your knowledge and every single video is unique and engaging. Thank you man
I vibe so hard to this song everytime i hear it. It's so dynamic and keeps itself interesting throughout i have no choice BUT to give it all my attention. I like how each soft part gets softer and more mellow just to make each heavy part right after hit that much harder. It brings a smile to my face seeing people who normally avoid metal hear stuff like this and then understand why I love this genre so much.
I think that is the biggest compliment you can give. When its not your taste/genre of music, but you love it and are nothing then positive about it. This made me happy x3.
Honestly the variety in the album is quite amazing. It's not just that each song sounds different or has different styles to them, but you get different styles in the same song and they all blend in so well. If I had to say what else I'd like to see a reaction of, it's definitely Gathering storm (this song is just a vocal flex from Nora) and both versions of Lightbringer (regular metal and acoustic)
Honestly i dont think Riot has actually done Noora justice yet, she has a far more powerful range than riots music has given her, compare hollywood dreams or black ninja to stormrazor and gathering storm and you'll see what i mean
Personally I'd like you to react to Gathering Storm, Redemption as they are more rock, Conqueror is also pretty cool for the one switchup part. Think overall this album is the best of the 3 since it has a variety of metal.
You will be surprised lots of metal music has things like this in it. Genre you may like is the power metal genre. Both the lead singers are from Power metal bands. They often have more catchy melodic choruses and synths or orchestral pieces mixing with the dirty grittiness.
Joey !!! Before I am going to dive in.. I am so glad you did this review. I was barely aware of pentakill even though been fan of lol for years. I am so glad I listened to them before and this track is off this world.
Would love to see the reaction to the full album if you did it. If not I highly suggest Edge of Night and Redemption from the same album. Both have completely different tones from this song but are just as good if not better.
Joey my guy this was a fun reaction! You had me searching up their album and found the "Interactive Album" version. Its an animated concert of the full album 🔥
this video goes to show more people need to listen to and explore metal, and when i say that i mean like the 500 subgenres, maybe not start off with deathcore or hardcore/post stuff but power metal, symphonic, and anything similar are a wonderful bridge into the world of the genre and how diverse it can be
"they keep trowing shit at you". Bro, this is absolutely all what metal is about : throwing the most vibing, hardest, shit directly in your brain, and this is why metal is also an awesome genre of music
Okay, you're not reacting to the album but you NEED to react to Edge of Night. Im my opinion is the best song in the album BY FAR. And i'ts their second most listen music of the album on spotify, very close to lost chapter.
@@bruh5991 Conqueror is the one that's not streamer safe. The only two songs that mention streamer safe use in their description at all are Predator and Conqueror, which are the two songs that feature Telle, but Predator _is_ streamer safe for some reason :S
you should try the acoustic version of lightbringer from this album its amazing and maybe compare it to the original from a previous album you get a good insight into how metal works from this
next should be the rest of the album , but most important is to react to Lightbringer. that shit is insane and there is a new ver. in the new album too
I'd also reccomend Edge of Night. Imma be honest, I'd love for you to react to all of pentakill, but you said you wouldn't, so im good with that, but if you ever have time just give it a listen, i personally love all of their songs so much. Love your content man Peace

Hi Sona, thanks for bringing Lightbringer (Acoustic) to us! You're the Lightbringer! Love the band!
❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻
Great album thanks guys!!!
Joey: "It's not my genre."
Also Joey: *jams out*
I've never seen Joey react this hyped for a metal song before until now. Pentakill's music making him want to jump out of his seat is a treat to watch.
You're here too???
I swear you are everywhere XD
@@hanoween5941 don't tell me he is LeBlanc
@@GilangPranoto i'm beginning to believe it XD
Didn't you see BURY THE LIGHT
So, metal is.. ALOT more varied than most people think. it's probably the most expansive and varied genre of music there is because there are just so many different sub-genres of metal. Pentakill has alot of elements of power metal and symphonic metal.
Metal is also just.. So insanely vast. There really isn't an alament that isn't used in some way in some genre of metal. It's so insanely cool.
@@KidKat__ yep, I know people were going on about how Sona has tubular bells on her etwahl in the new Pentakill skin but it's like... They're used ALOT in metal actually?
Waiting for the next return of Pentakill where they can go djent and electronic and almost neu Doom-like
Right? Whenever I tell someone I listen to metal music, all they think is that it is about screaming their lungs out. It's so sad.
EDM is way more vast, but it is basically because you can make any bpm, sound design or melody in EDM
*I tried.*
you did well sir, proceed to wake up tomorrow once more jkjk :D
Love it man, scruffy gets to live another day
Never ceases to amaze me, your reactions are always enjoyable, also hot tub streams don't sound too bad
@@carlocastillo6437 wtf xD
Alright. But I do want a reaction to Aftershock... the dissonance shall take over your body
5:34
Well that solo part was actually played by a famous solo violinist Ray Chen. Well, I was shocked when I read that on the description lol
Really, my idol .. he plays... Really..niceee yesssss ahhhhhhh...
Oh cool! Ray Chen was worked we League at lest 2 or 3 times now
U know someone is getting more and more into metal when he uses "disgusting" to qualify good music
React to the rest of the album, every single song is a guaranteed banger
pls react to Lightbringer (both versions, the 2015 one and the Acoustic that released with this album), one of the best songs and a really fucking banger of an acoustic cover
Can back this up. Lightbringer acoustic is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I want to hear more of their songs in acoustic, but Lightbringer was definitely the best one to start with. Joey won't regret listening!!

OMG YES ITS MY FAV SONG
Yes!!!
I wouldve watched 1 hour of you reacting to this album but if you dont want to I will respect your choice
Totally agree with this, do your thing Joey!
This reads like that "I ate a cat today" meme reply.
I am with you
@@Aramendoa Veigar Anão tá se multiplicando por tudo quanto é canto wtf
joey, remember, the first song of the album is always the "safe song".
Riot’s music department always kills it when it comes to their concept groups. There is a reason we’ve waited 2 years for this album. Same with K/DA, they always make sure the albums are perfect before they release them. Definitely would recommend listening to all 3 pentakill albums, if you make a video that would be dope, but even on your own time. They are definitely worth the listen. Great reaction dude, keep up the good work. 🤘🏽
FINALLY BOY YOU MUST REACT TO "LAST STAND"!!!
YESS!! It's my favorite song off the album 💞💞
@@Dori6584 YOU'RE GODAMN RIGHT IT IS!
You must do Gathering Storm and Redemption!
My personal favourites of the album!
Redemption is the fucking BEST!!!
So cool thing about the intro
Those werent synths, that was an actual guitar arpeggio that went through 4 or 5 layers of editing
If you thought this song was all over the place, wait until you hear the full album.
Every single song has twists to them, each one unique, and not only do they feel *good,* but they feel like *Pentakill*
Great reaction as always!!
Riot has been working over 2 years on this album, and you can teally tell. They did an amazong job on this album.
I was waiting for the whole album react T.T Come on Joey, you know you can’t escape the sick vocals!
Bro ur reaction to this song was exactly how i felt, really made me smile watchin this.
Might as well react to all three Pentakill albums. They are completely amazing!
Would absolutely watch you react to every song on this album (and ones off the last two albums too!) if you wanted to, no matter how spaced apart they are! Could be one a month and I'd still be grateful just to see you check them out, as passionate and knowledgeable as you are about music. Love what you do, man, keep it up!
It makes me really happy to watch you enjoy and vibe to Pentakill so much :)
Very excited for both lightbringers, edge of night, redemption and gathering storm. Those are probably my favourite pentakill songs
You gotta do Edge of Night. My favourite of the album, it has a peculiar feel, a bit quieter yet still epic.
I was literally stun when i was watching live concert when i first heard the songs that concert with those songs was EPIC
"Tell me more about you. Do you like toast?"
Me, literally holding a half eaten slice of toast: .......no..?
Dammit Nato, that was spoopy!
Absolutely love the hell out of your reacts and breakdowns. Originally came for the league songs reacts but the breakdowns you give, even for song genres you aren't a huge fan of, are what hooked me.

I can ensure you that the almbum is so great that each song will be a completely different experience
Joey: Its not my genre
Also Joey: I FEEL EMPOWERED
You can react their full concert tho:D
Banger music, banger reaction.
literal masterpiece in every sense.. performance, lyrics, and production.. amazing work by riot games music team!
Do lightbringer and the acoustic version in one vid my guys
7:54 that's metal for you. a whole bunch of sub genres that will surprise you with different tempos, instruments, harmonies... it's beautiful.
oh no Joey, we want those hot tub streams for sure ;)
Si.
Facts
They always make the first music in any metal albums, more "family friendly"
I think that is the biggest compliment you can give. When its not your taste/genre of music, but you love it and are nothing then positive about it. This made me happy x3.
the whole album is insanely good!! i loved it so much. you should react to Redemption next, is my favorite of the album
Man you gotta try Aftershock, its the most unique in the album if you ask me. i bet you'll love when viego says those savages, ravenous, those beasts
It is really cool that the vocalist/front man in Pentakill is from Norway (my country) :D
The entire album is this good. If you don't want to go through the whole thing, my recommendations are Lightbringer, Predator and Gathering Storm.
I'd kill to see a reaction to this whole album from you!
Please don't kill anyone lol
@@JoeyLuckyBoyNato We'd kill the like button though ;)
They did amazing job with this new album. Some of these songs are absolute bangers.
Honestly the variety in the album is quite amazing. It's not just that each song sounds different or has different styles to them, but you get different styles in the same song and they all blend in so well.
If I had to say what else I'd like to see a reaction of, it's definitely Gathering storm (this song is just a vocal flex from Nora) and both versions of Lightbringer (regular metal and acoustic)

Personally I'd like you to react to Gathering Storm, Redemption as they are more rock, Conqueror is also pretty cool for the one switchup part. Think overall this album is the best of the 3 since it has a variety of metal.
My favourite of the album is Edge of Night. Such good vibe 🥰
You will be surprised lots of metal music has things like this in it. Genre you may like is the power metal genre. Both the lead singers are from Power metal bands. They often have more catchy melodic choruses and synths or orchestral pieces mixing with the dirty grittiness.

Not surprising how much he liked it, rap fans and metal fans go hand in hand
Unironically the most goated rock band. This shit is like an audio war
Would love to see the reaction to the full album if you did it. If not I highly suggest Edge of Night and Redemption from the same album. Both have completely different tones from this song but are just as good if not better.
Awesome reaction. If there’s any other pentakill song you should react to from this album you should do Edge of Night
I really want to see you react to both Lightbringer versions if you do more Pentakill! Such an excellent song that hits so differently on each version
Whole album. Please. We need it.
This song gives me the chills.
Redemption is one of my favorites!
This album had a metal song for every single person on earth
Doesn't matter if you listen to it or not, YOU'LL PROBABLY LIKE AT LEAST ONE
Would love to see conqueror reaction
You must react to the full album now. You wont be disappointed I promise.
Joey my guy this was a fun reaction! You had me searching up their album and found the "Interactive Album" version. Its an animated concert of the full album 🔥

Whooo love those instrumentals loved your excitement brilliant thanku so much love and God bless x
I never felt this happy watching a react vídeo.
I love how he get so Hyped HAHAHAHAHA from the start up to the end of the vid
Your reaction to this music is contagious. I can feel your energy all over my place
"they keep trowing shit at you". Bro, this is absolutely all what metal is about : throwing the most vibing, hardest, shit directly in your brain, and this is why metal is also an awesome genre of music
If you react to any more, I think Aftershock is a must listen; it's my personal favorite on the album
the vocalist is Jörn lande which is one of the best vocalist out there in metal.
Okay, you're not reacting to the album but you NEED to react to Edge of Night. Im my opinion is the best song in the album BY FAR. And i'ts their second most listen music of the album on spotify, very close to lost chapter.
Its fcking great but nothing against the two Songs with viego singing
Weren't some of the songs not streamer-friendly?
@@Exel3nce Telle's voice will never match the power of Jorn Lande u wot
@@V2ULTRAKill sure you wont, iconic, but the point still stands
@@bruh5991 Conqueror is the one that's not streamer safe.
The only two songs that mention streamer safe use in their description at all are Predator and Conqueror, which are the two songs that feature Telle, but Predator _is_ streamer safe for some reason :S
He needs to react to the virtual concert experience Pentakill had (well parts of it if Joey can't review the whole video).
MAAN I just realised that when Olaf Pentakill skin is on its recall does the drum solo on the song aaaaaaa
This entire album is amazing you really should react to all of them if you can they are all so good
Im glad you appreciate Jorn so much, he's an incredible vocalist imo!
Nice, I was expecting some pentakill, please react to lightbringer next. It has 2 very different awesome versions. Keep up the great work !
You should try Conqueror or Aftershock from the same album. You'll have a blast!
LETS GOOO LETS GO LETS GO LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YES LETS GO
As a major rock fan this song slaps so hard I was headbanging so hard i now have a headache.
You should listem to their live concert. Lets make it happen lads
If you wanna get blown away listen to Gathering storm on the lost chapter album the singer goes so hard
Ok, now you gotta react to Redemption! That song slaps so hard
We need a full album reaction!
you should try the acoustic version of lightbringer from this album its amazing and maybe compare it to the original from a previous album you get a good insight into how metal works from this
Metal is always associated with satanology but karthus' voice is just so heavenly and thats a fact
You should try listen to another one: Pentakill - Edge of Night. :)
next should be the rest of the album , but most important is to react to Lightbringer. that shit is insane and there is a new ver. in the new album too
EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS ALBUM I LOVE YOU ALL
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS NJENZHAMSNAN AHHHHHHHHH ITS FINALLY HERE
FF7 playing in the background again ❤️
Now react to redemption
this band was the reason i got into LoL nothing else but Pentakill.
edge of the nigth and gathering storm are absolute bangers !
Please react to the full album!its so worth it
React to lightbringer original version and the acoustic version! More power to you Joey Nato!
EVERY. SINGLE. SONG on this album is fire!
The whole album is FIRE i swear
"Predator" in this album is most unic song what i heared
So i hope someday i will see your reaction on Pentakill - Predator
Redemption is the best song in the album imo. So lively and motivating.
I do wish Joey would check out the rest of this album, pentakill 3 Lost Chapter even just to see him getting down with the music
I'd also reccomend Edge of Night.
Imma be honest, I'd love for you to react to all of pentakill, but you said you wouldn't, so im good with that, but if you ever have time just give it a listen, i personally love all of their songs so much.
Love your content man
Peace
Waiting full album reaction
