My name is Kaiya Pelletier and I am documenting my metal journey as I discover and listen to metal music for the first time ever. I'm in my mid 20's and I've been a singer songwriter and performer for over 10 years. Currently I'm in 3 bands and gigging around in Asheville, NC where I live. I have a Bloodhound named Spooner, I love mexican food, Stephen King, collecting CD's and cassettes and my favorite movies are tied between Jurrassic Park and Alien.
Current Moshpit Count: 15,842 - Розваги
The fire missed my house by 300 meters. This song brings back every emotion of that day like it's happening again. That solo makes it hard as it reminds me of the sirens 😭
One my favorite bands since about 2014 when my friend introduced me to them. I’ve seen them live 3x and they do not disappoint. They sound just as good as the studio album. It’s a shame that their drummer has parted ways. I love his drumming style. I can’t wait for the new album!
I hope you rest to more of their older stuff. And plague flowers the kaleidoscope live in Denver or Devour me, Colossus and Intra Venus
I hate ads but dammit if I wasn't for getting an ad on Facebook inviting me to check out Citadel if I liked Opeth.
I found NeO through Osu! lmao. One of the hardest songs in the game at the time was coincidentally Painters of the Tempest. Every time I failed miserably trying to do the beatmap on nofail, I would eventually just vibe to the song. That was nearly five years ago, and now I'm going to see them live in October!
@@airy9461 fr osu! is such a good game it made me discover so many new artists and new genres
Maybe my favorite modern prog metal band. Tim being a full time clean vocalist/violinist just brings such a unique aspect to the band that no one else can really duplicate
The song is about the loss of life in the Australian bush fires of 2019/20.
The wind instrument you refered to was a horse's skull. Equs is the Latin word for horse.
I'll be at the next neo show in Melbourne. Will I be the only 60 year old?
I'm 48 and will continue to see them when I can, it's a great night, no age, sex, or religious beliefs get in the way of the Ne 'o' family 😈🤘🙏
I'm 60+ and I will attend the Stockholm show. One of the best bands I come across in later years. Perfect combination between metal and prog.
I'm 58 and will be seeing them in November in Montreal. My current favorite band, along with Ashbreather (check out Hivemind)!
One of my favourite bands. These guys deserve it all. This album is shaping out to be the best one just based on the two singles
I love watching people discover ne obliviscaris for the first time, never gets old 🤘🏻
Loved your reaction ☺️ They're such a talented band, and the mix of sounds/instruments/vocals is just so interesting and fresh. I've got tickets to see them in May, can't wait to see them live ☺️
Hi Kaiya, lots of good observations. I totally agree with your description of the bass player, he is a VERY busy player, uses no pick (here), and his very clean and strong in the mids, round sound adds to the immediate impression, that I also had when listening to them the first time. This guy seems to come from the jazzy end of bass playing! His playing is also very melodic in a traditional way. Which is not a bad thing at all and fits their music very well, he actually adds something to the complexity for sure, so they never get boring, no matter how long the songs are...
2 Aussie bands in a row I’m liking this haha! Glad you’ve discovered Ne Obliviscaris, They’re absolute world class and should be more well known then they currently are. Now I just have to wait until you discover Be’lakor \m/
🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏✊✊✊
NeO are a top notch band. Check out Forget Not,Devour Me Colossus,Eyrie,Intra Venus,Xenoflux,Icicles Fall, or basically any of their older tracks. Pretty Flawless imo. You can't go wrong with NeO just like you can't with Opeth. Their compositions,transitions,mixing,musical talent ,banging drums,dual vocals,dual rhythym/ lead guitars,phenomenal bass,and the fricking violin playing all adds up to a true rollercoaster ride of musical eargasms without sounding muddy. I have been waiting a while for you to experience the absolutely beautiful chaos that is NeO. You will put them on your personal playlist once you dive deeper into their catalogue. Thanks for this one dear.
This band hits differently than 90% of the catalog
There is one thing NeO does and it's bringing beauty to chaos.
If you have the chance to listen to Citadel, go for it! it's their peak album imo and Exul has the chance to equal or even beat it.
Superb reaction too!
First time seeing your channel, thank you almighty algorithm! Both songs released from their upcoming album so far, this and Graal, are so, so very good.
As a first time watcher of yours, I feel like I should explain why I just subbed too :) I like the approach you take, where you just dive in and read about it all afterwards, keeping an open mind to interpretation.
Also, it's so cool of you to link all of the bands information and websites, merch etc, I can'trecall seeing many if any reactors doing that, so kudos!
Equus is about the 2019-2020 bushfires in Australia, nearly 500 people killed, and more than 3 billion animals.
Not 500, around 38 (still too many)
@@Brendo2386 according to the wikipedia article on the bushfires:
34 direct, 445 indirect (smoke inhalation)
Ne Obliviscarus is great! It's cool to hear you partnering with Season of Mist; they've got a lot of great bands under their umbrella.
While it's not the same label (rather, Prosthetic Records) the new Fires in the Distance is shaping up nicely, as well. You should check out their latest videos sometime, I think you''ll dig 'em.
"Ek-wuss", FYI. Great react. Loved it!
They are touring Spain with Persefone. Feliz!!!!
Ps, the images refer to Polish painter Beksinski..one of Xen's influences
Welcome to the phenmomen that is Ne Obliviscaris!
the new and oceans album is pretty good, they're on season of mist too, been around since the 90s
If you like violins in metal: Orbit Culture has a very cinematic violin in their song 'The Newborn One'
Oh that is so cool, that Tim's sister played the second violin part.. I didn't realize that till you dug into the credits.
You should check out Rivers of Nihil. Maybe their song The Silent Life or off their most recent album, The Void From Which No Sound Escapes. They have a happy surprise in the music.
Finally my favorite band please we need you to react to the portal of I Album by them
You must hear Forget Not by Ne Obliviscaris
My favorite of theirs! (Until Equus came along, that is...)😋
@@jennifer9047 if we’re talking new album I would say Misericorde 2
@@MattRWTFZeroimo suspyre is their best song off the new album
I have to admit, I was crying the first time I heard this, it's utterly haunting and I've not heard a song that compares since, just incredibly really
Opeth used to be my favorite band. Ne Obliviscaris is my current favorite. Some of my favorite songs are And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope, Equus, Intra Venus, Curator (which is part of a song that they made a video for), and Forget Not. I saw them live once and they were absolutely amazing. Looking forward to seeing them again, this time headlining, in November.
I saw NeO just before Covid hit, and they were absolutely amazing. This is actually the final album with their OG drummer Dan Presland, so as a drummer I'm pretty excited to see what he comes up with in his final stint with NeO. I can't imagine it'll be very easy for the guys to replace him in the future. He's a legend. Also, I didn't see anyone mention, but Tim's (Clean vocals/Violin) wife is playing violin with him in the quartet!
That's his sister, Emma, not his wife
Ive listened to well over 50k songs in my life, from 80s videogames ost to dirty rap passing through about every genres. This new album from NeO is like nothing Ive ever heard.
More NeO pls
Finally 🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏✊✊✊
Best band everrrrrrr
About this one, I haven't reacted to it yet because I'm waiting so patient for the release of the album, I love their 3 albums and the little parts
I've reacted of this one and Graal aren't the full experience, so I only hope is at least a vibing album.
3:51 yep. That made me happily excited to see the ending.
Dødheimsgard (DHG) released a banger of an experimental blackmetal album in May, but also have to shout out their best song from way back, "Traces of Reality" which ALSO has a violin solo :D
Best metal band in the world 💀
OMG I just finished this one, Behold the Kingdom of the Wretched Undying by Infant Annihilator, it's almost 18 minutes, features multiple vocalists from the genre, it's divided in 4 parts and it's...well you gotta listen to it, please if you react to it do it with lyrics, it's so inmersive! You won't be ready for it. 😳 Greetings from Mexico dear 🤍
Please check out "and plague flowers the kaleidoscope" live. So much to take in.
These guys have a song. Kaleidoscope pestilence flowers, thats taught in professional music classes over here as an example of how to play lol. At the Sydney music emporium i think.
And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope.
@@lMarcusl yeah thats it
I mean, it was taught one semester in one music professors class. I dunno that it’s continually taught.
As the dudes over that Windmill observed, the solo gets consumed by the figurative wildfire of the song.
Great reaction! It’s definitely an intense song! It will take a few more listens to fully appreciate. Just like most of their songs.
They are my favourite band/musicians, I mean top 3 of my personal favourite musical instruments are incorporated in the band excellently. Drums, Violin and Electric Guitar. And the amazing clean vocals (Tim) and brilliant harsh vocals (Xenoyr) and the meaningful poetic lyrics written by Xen are more so the reasons. Along with the amazing Bass Guitar. What more could I ask for in a band? A Musical heaven for me! 😃
You should check out their previous Albums in due time. Probably starting with Portal Of I, then Citadel and Urn!
Looking forward to more NeO reactions. If you or anyone else wants to support NeO more, check out their Patreon please! 🙏
Whos your other 2? 😅
@@deanmadden123 My other 2 top bands? Well it’s Be’Lakor and then followed by Opeth! 🤘
@@yasithperera5700 thanks dude! Opeth is one of my favorite bands. MAYH, blackwater park ect. So ill have to check out be lakor. Never heard of em.
@@deanmadden123 If you like Opeth. You will like Be'lakor :)
Yeah MAYH is my personal favourite album from Opeth!
So, there are a few metal bands that have done shows with full orchestras. I really like the show Skalmold did with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. It's kinda cheating. You get the band, 3 vocalists, 3 choirs (male, female, and youth) and the orchestra. The non-metal elements are very well integrated, rather than just being tacked on.
Nothing will ever sound as beautiful to you after discovering this band, it's the only thing close to a flaw they have.
PS this is the first time they have ever put a backing choir in one of their songs. So your comment made me laugh pretty hard.
Lantlos
Violin and extreem metal go realy well togheter. At The Gates did in in 1991 on The Red in the Sky is Ours. And back then it was magic!!!!
Violin in a metal song?:
Unlucky Morpheus. they play Violin in ALL their metal songs!!
A great band from Japan you can react anytime!
portal of I the first album awesome.
I'm sure it's been said but you must must must listen to And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope by these guys.
Interesting about the message of the video. I didn't realise. Although where I live didn't get hit by the bushfires, they came close, and friends of mine had to defend their homes, because they lived on the rural outskirts. When the bushfires were at their worst, the sky in my city was completely brown. The sun was just a tiny glow in this horrible brownness. You couldn't go outside without a proper mask, and everything was covered in ash and dust. And because nobody was going outside, and nobody was driving, when you did have to leave the house, it felt like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie. I can only imagine what it was like for people whose homes were consumed.
I'm so sorry you had to experience that. I remember reading about it and feeling so sorry for the people of Australia. Such a scary thing. But this song is beautiful and captures such a traumatizing incident in a beautiful, haunting way. Have you had a chance to listen to their new album yet? I'm planning to deep dive into it once I get my studio set back up. Thanks for watching and for writing your experience!
@@imaKaiya Thank you. It is strange, but the world has been so crazy these last couple of years, as we are hurried from crisis to crisis that I think a lot of people are already forgetting how terrible the fires were. As for the new Ne Obliviscaris album, I have added it to my every growing "pile o' shame", which is all of the awesome metal that is coming out! So little time! :D I look forward to your deep dive video. \m/
Cool reaction video, are you swedish btw?
And plague flowers the kaleidoscope is their best song imo so I would recommend you listen to that
They have many great songs. Plague flowers is one of them. Forget Not , Sarabande to Nihil is full of great stuff, Hiraeth, too. Certainly Plague is their most reacted to.
@@Enochulator not going to lie i kinda dont know much of their music apart from their debut album, really should explore it because Equus sounds amazing
One of my favorite bands! You should check out persefone too they are on tour together. And you should check out dominia. My favorite band they have a violinist too. My dying bride inspired. On your channel or free time doesn't matter to me 🤘🤘🤘
16:35 Interesting guitar solo.
One of the greatest bands right now, I hope you continue to check them out 🖤 (fun fact, i dont know if you saw since you kind of skimmed the description but since you kept bringing up the video, their harsh vocalist Xenoyr directed it, he’s also the one who does all their merch and album art)
Mehh I disagree. I think they are pretty overrated. Very mid band.
@@burningbelow4424 did not ask 👍
@@juno1503 don't care. 🤘🏼
Huge Beksinski influences
Do a reaction to Deicide - The Lords Sedition. One of the greatest Death metal songs ever written, RIP Ralph Santolla.
Please react to the band Startled By Silence.
/request Bathory
very Opeth like.
Except Opeth is so much better.
@@iconfresh7406depends on the era. Rn i feel like neo is carrying opeth's torch
If you're partnered with season of mist. Where the hell is archspire reaction??
you are not saying it right. it is e-kwus
hi girl, this band has evolved a lot over the years, in their beginnings they were kinda like a prog extreme metal, really focused on music over singers, with beautiful instrumental interludes, sometimes acoustic ones, then they abandoned a lot of that part of their music and went for more straight simpler structures, not so progry, i thought we have lost them and next album is going to be ABAB sturctures. now with this record they seem to have gone back to the progry structures, but still vocals are too present in the songs
i suspect ego battles goin on there, i hope they can get that balance they had in the first two albums
they are awesome musicians, and make beautiful music, ihmo the first album is a piece of art, you could dive into it
Not sure where you're getting this idea of them abandoning prog structures. Their third album has plenty of proggy sections with no vocals throughout Eyrie, Intra Venus and Libera, a little less so on Urn (part 2 especially). They can't just keep doing Tapestry of the Starless Abstract or On the Tongue of Eloquence style music with major instrumental interludes forever, else that too becomes samey and predictable, just like the modern cliche "verse, chorus, verse, chorus, break, chorus, end" you hear in most mainstream music. If anything with every album their song structures get more and more varied so that you never know where you're gonna end up.
If like this and death metal, yeah! You ain’t liking Metallica’s “if darkness had a son”. I’m a Metallica fan, and didn’t like it. So I know you’re not.
Art metal poopoo not heavy
Ne Obliviscarus is pretty overrated in my opinion. After 2 minutes of one of their songs I'm done and gotta play something else. I'm not about those 7 minute songs every song. There are sooo many better bands to listen to.
7 minutes too long for you bro? says something about you, as well as your performance inside the bedroom. I'm sure your top 4 deathcore bands are better than NeO! Take it easy man
