#NikNocturnal #NewSong #Reaction
Hey Nik, I like the idea of 'randomly exploring songs'. I always like to discover new bands, new songs, so for me it would be cool if you're doing that because it's always fun to watch.
His Nik Noc twitch tends to do a lot of things like this.
want a new band to explore? check out The Dream Analysis - Call of the void. they are a new local band looking for some raw reactions.
Pop Evil was one of the best concerts I've been to. Trenches and Waking Lions would be some good songs to get into them
Absolutely! Waking lions is great. 🤘🏻
Their self titled from 2018, is their best album in my opinion.
@@JR-90 Hopefully their latest continues the heavy trend. Loving the singles.
Always really dug trenches
Waking Lions probably my favorite, Trenches is worth it too hopefully he checks them out
i don’t think i’ve ever heard pop evil being so lowww on the guitars like that but this song slapped🔥
If you're curious then watch Annisokay, they're pretty good !
React to like a parasite by annisokay PLZ
@@Jake-bu8pj Under Your Tattoos or I Saw What You Did would be a better starting point for Nik lol.
Well, I like every song of the new album.
I even got the deluxe box of it.
Friend or Enemy is my fav. on this album for sure.
Wasn't into their new album, but a massive fan of the last one. Great band.
^^^^This
actually he covered coma blue a while back haha
i think this is about the heaviest pop evil gets (mostly in the guitar) but i've always loved this band
I agree! 🤘 Pop Evil kicks ass
@Limitless i don't think ive heard that i'll go check it out
@@kionicxnm their old stuff was a bit more on the heavy side. He used a lot of distorted vocals verging screams
I mean, Waking Lions is heavier then this song tbh
Dude if you decide to check out any more from Pop Evil, you're gonna be so surprised at the contrast between this and some of their older songs (like Boss's Daughter).
Ye, this is a long way from breath
they were just another country dad rock drunk bar band lmao. such a glow up, imo, even though it’s something i’d never listen to. they’ve done a lot of maturing and this track is great
Waking Lions arent too far from this I'd say
Deal with the Devil 👌🏻
I thought Trenches was pretty decent...although I also thought it was interesting (and objectively, kinda cool) that even after they were getting lots of airplay and going on major tours, they would still play this tiny-ass bar in Roanoke near where I grew up a few times. I never got the impression that Pop Evil got too big for their breeches.
This honestly reminds me of a heavier Shinedown.
Lol yup
Absolutely with you on that 👍
Same but Brent's vocals sound better to me
a lot of their music bounces between being kind of heavy like this, and just being a knockoff shinedown. Their last album had like 2 or 3 songs that were kinda heavy like this one and the rest you could mistake for shinedown songs. That's not really a bad thing but I really like their heavier songs and they don't make many of them lol.
@@TheEpicLinkFreeman My thoughts exactly. Hoping the entire album is full of bangers.
For a band that's primarily radio rock, I really dig when they experiment with heavier stuff.
Same.
Torn to pieces by them is one of my all time favorite songs. It’s not even metal it’s completely opposite to this but both are absolutely amazing!
I still have that song on my metal play list cause it fits. Yes definitely one of my favourite pop evil songs
Waking Lions and Trenches are pretty good songs by them as well
Pop Evil putting out tunes that blow the pants off any new Architects .. words I never thought I’d say lmao 😅
This song is great but speaking from experience, it's very much a song for Octane to play 7 times a day. And they do.
Also check out Waking Lions by them. Shit fucks.
Octane brought me here.
If you're gonna check them out, recommendations (in this order, imo):
- Waking Lions
- Deal With The Devil
- Trenches
- Let The Chaos Reign (had some punch imo, as well)
- Footsteps (For some P Roach as made by Pop Evil)
Radio friendly metalcore, I dig it
Gateway metal?
Check out their new song Paranoid if you want radio friendly metalcore
Pop evil has never tuned that low I liked the instrumental a lot
This song has got me through so much the last couple months. Glad they are getting the recognition they deserve!!! Have also seen them in concert 3 times!
Agree, I play this and feel so much better.
I'm so happy you've reacted this .. I've had it on repeat for ages!
Nik: "Is it an evil pop band?"
My brain just went "that is a rock band, isn't it?"
I've never thought of it that way but you're not wrong 😂
You should check out SHERIDAN - THE HEIST
The song has the heavy chuggs and the spacey ambience.
They deserve a listen :) 🤘🏼
Roots by them goes hard too
I just checked them out, thank you haha
Nice recommendation!
Thanks for the recommendation it was a bloody good song. They have no guitarist, I feel this will confuse Nik.
It’s worth to check them out! Love them
Love the idea of exploring random songs/bands for sure. If that is the case you've really got to check out 'As Everything Unfolds' as for a relatively new band, their sound is solid af and the leads' vocals are golden.
Discovered this band a little more than a decade ago with "100 in a 55". You wouldn't think this is the same band. They're fun as hell live too!
"Very Cube-y" Not a bad band. Pretty catchy. Thanks for introducing me to another band that didn't make it under the rock I live in.
I recommend listening to Waking Lion by Pop Evil
@@thegeektarist6239 awesome, thanks!
Trenches is another good song by them btw
So glad they're being featured! Pop Evil is so good!
Their song Deal with the devil is pretty awesome. And their last album has some catchy stuff!
These guys, Nonpoint, and Sevendust are my favorite radio rock bands... They never make a bad song
One of the most underrated rock bands of the last decade. Live shows are high energy and Leigh's voice is legit.
Nik, you would enjoy the guitar riffs on Trenches. No doubt you will 🤘 to that track it definitely fits the music you enjoy/review.
Pop Evil never disappoints! 🤘
In fact, they disappoint a lot with some songs ;)
I dind't know I needed this, but damn this was a good song.
Nik, I'm all for you finding random songs to listen to. Great way ti find new bands!
If these guys had a screamer they would be hella epic
Some of their older songs included screamed vocals so they very much have a screamer. He just doesn’t do it much anymore.
@@eternalhorizons6524 I wouldn't called them screamed vocals.. just more distorted, but still singing
They have heavier songs. Check out "Let The Chaos Reign", is also from the new upcoming album. Nik should've checked that song instead. This is more poppy.
@@JR-90 check out the first song from Onyx
There is a place for clean only metal bands.
I've been jamming to this for months and now finally nik looks at it
Pop Evil was my first ever concert Ive ever been to, and one of my favorites too! I actually havent listened to their music in a long time so it caught me by surprise when I saw a female drummer haha, so its been a while! Not too bad but now I miss Chachi :/
I think you'd really like waking lions by them. Main riff is a banger 🤘🔥
You DEFINITELY need to check out more of their older stuff. They are SOOOO good!
Check out Hero, Deal with the Devil, Trenches, Boss's Daughter, Last Man Standing
I’ve been luck enough to see these guys live twice and they killed it. I saw them on their headline when they played the ROXY in West Hollywood and then again opening for Skillet at the Wiltern in LA
watching you react to this made my day....done with bridge...into chorus...oh chorus 3.0...brilliant
I always forget that I like Pop Evil until I hear them playing. Definitely Radio Friendly but like, who cares?
You mean good radio friendly. Usually radio friendly isn't good.
@@theirishpotato6588 fair point
@@wcanderton yur
Discovered these guys a couple years ago, they’re fun to listen to. One of my go-tos for my commute
My dad introduced me to Pop Evil, with their song 100 in a 55, an old pop evil song, as for you finding random music you have never heard 100% keep it going
Pop Evil has been pretty big where I'm at for a while, they were very standard rock for a long time now they've been morphing for the last few years into the HEAVYISH.
Pop Evil!!! The lead singer is Leigh Kakaty. Love him.
I highly recommend "Waking Lions", "Boss's Daughter"
"Torn to Pieces" (sad😥)
"Footsteps"
Ngl got some shinedown vibes in there I dig it
maybe in vocals, but i'm happy someone mentioned them 😄😄
Saw Pop Evil in 2010 I think? They opened for Papa Roach. Man they blew me away, all they had out was “Lipstick on the mirror” and I loved that album. I’m glad that they are progressing well!
As the structure fails - The surface
Hillbilly Metal.... oh it's real... and it's REAL damn good
Listen to some of Pop Evil's older stuff, such as albums Lipstick on a Mirror and Onyx. That's more of their true sound, and closer to the energy they have live.
Pop Evil is great live! Let the Chaos Reign & Deal With the Devil are great ones you gotta hear.
Omg I just discovered this today on the radio. And you have an upload.... incredible Nik.
I have seen pop evil live twice, once with the original drummer and again after they hired the female drummer, she is a good choice. They like coming here and playing a small venue in a local "bar / nightclub" hybrid we have, so ya get to stand right at the stage and get speaker deaf it's great. The first song I ever heard from them was "100 in a 55" what you hear here is a drastic style change from that earlier style which was more blues rock kind of but this change is frickin epic and I love the direction they are going, I really hope they come back so I can see them live again after all this pandemic stuff.
I've been listening to these guys since oynx and found them at local venues in Michigan when I was in highschool.
So glad Ive seen these guys live twice, loved it for the start right away. Feels even heavier in person.
Best reaction ever it comes across like you've never heard this band in his life 👍
Trenches by Pop Evil! Solid Hard Rock band. Seen them open for Five Finger Death Punch and Hellyeah quite a few years back!
Awesome, need to add this to my Spotify list. Glad Nik checks new stuff out, so I don't need to do that by myself :D
Been jamming out to this song for a month, glad to see you finally checked it out!
Pop Evil has matured since the debut album came out about a decade ago. There were some personnel changes which helped evolve the band.I really like the drummer as she really has clean breaks and works well with the bass and guitar.
Pop evil puts on a great live show. Check out some of their older stuff you will dig it
I saw these guys a couple years ago, one of my favorite shows I've been to.
please go Any given day-Savior!, it´s from my homecountry germany!
Really great song
Any Given Day is so underrated! Nik actually has a Savior cover ua-cam.com/video/NEv2WhgQDFw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NikNocturnal , but I would love to see him review some more music by them!
🎸🎤🎶🤘 they’re amazing!!! My fav!
This was cool. Never thought I'd see you react to something like this. Do more!
Pop Evil is one of those bands, you have to see life! They are much better life! Love them about 10 years now!
Skillet is a great band to see/listen life too.
Their album onyx is pretty good. Torn to pieces is one of my favorite songs
Damn, this dudes voice is nice. I'm gonna check this band out 'cause, again, damn
I would love for you to check something completely different, Band Maid - Different, pun intended. I just know you're going to be impressed by these girls!
They are fellow Michiganders. Not one of my favorite bands, but mad respect. Greetings from Michigan! 🤘
Ooohh love that new Pop Evil sound!! Fits very well. Also gives me Fire From The Gods vibes
Pop Evil kicks ass. Breathe Again is my anthem. Love them!!
Pop Evil is actually a super fresh rock band. Check out Waking Lions, Boss’s Daughter and Ex Machina
I never hear before about this band, I like it!
Their song dance with the devil has a lot of the "grit" you wanted to hear!
I've always loved pop evil 😈 their one of the best main stream bands in my opinion
Got here in under a minute! I'm so attentive today!
Congrats on the level of attention. Keep it up.
big achieve very nice
Well played! You're killing it today!
damn it took me 14
We're all so proud of you don't forget to collect your participation trophy.
Pop evil is awesome! Great review
This song sounds like what would kick in during the opening credits to a Michael Bay movie, with Transforming titles spinning around the screen, but in a good way.
I got into Pop Evil by listening to Footsteps and Legendary, and the contrast is incredible when I hear their new stuff
About time!! Lmao. I know every word of this song. I've heard it awhile ago and seen em live 3x
They sound this good here and They’ll still ONLY play that fuckin “Footsteps” song on my local radio.
Great band love the reactions!
This song does so many things great.
Holy motherfuck! What a progress this band just made!
I listened to this song on the radio a few times.
It’s so good.
This was a surprise man. Thanks.
I'm surprised you never heard of Pop Evil. You MUST listen to their track "Waking Lions." Absolute melodic BANGER.
Noticed that pocket at 1:35 where the singer picks it up
Check out trenches or boss's daughter by pop evil. Those two songs are alot different musically. I'd like to hear what you think of those two songs.
Torn to Pieces is great too
Don't forget Waking Lions
Was going to recommend trenches too. It smacks!
@@C0unt_Zero hell yeah it does. Also Mick Mars plays guitar In boss's daughter which is awesome.
Been a fan of Pop Evil for a long time. They are a well rounded rock band that uses metal elements well while still keeping things simple to maintain a particular feel to every song. Their self-title album in 2018 was very impressive
Dude Gojira put out a new single to their new album this year!!! You have to check it out!
Ay gonna look into this band a lil more
Sounds like the Drop G# tuning that Architects used on "Black Lungs"...(C# Standard but the low string dropped down to G#)
I love Pop Evil and they are from my home state of Michigan 🤘🤘.
Hell yeah man I love this track, stoked to see your reaction. Let's gooooo. You'd probably also like their song 'Ex-Machina'.
Pop evil is a great band awesome live
Very happy you chek them out, Pop Evil are great! Can also recommend some older, less "techy" songs, maybe some from their record "Trenches". Saw them at a tiny location in Cologne two years ago, Leigh is super nice as well!
Waking lions, footsteps, trenches, take it all are best pop evil songs
Pop evil are super nice people. They're music is really good aswell
Villain of the Story and Before I Turn deserve some love from you! they have some really good stuff and recent albums that are dope af
Damn i was not expecting this dude
Their song waking the lion hits hard too!
This is a fun catchy banger, I gotta check out more Pop Evil now🤘🏻
Waking Lions, Trenches, Deal With the Devil, and Torn to Pieces are all really solid tracks.
I like the discover new bands format 👍
Pop evil puts on a hell of a great live show, plus they've got a large catalog of crazy good songs to keep it rollin!
Waking lions is another great song from pop evil
