not deathcore, symphonic deathcore sure but it is not deathcore. compare this to bloodruns black and tell me how they are considered the same genre. over produced computer garbage
Got to talk to him for a bit on their last tour with Shadow of Intent! Even though his voice was completely gone he still tried his best to talk to me haha. Awesome dude!
I'm always so upset when Infant Annihilator isn't brought up when talking about this new era of deathcore. Lorna Shore and Disembodied Tyrant are certainly expanding on that sound, but IA started it. I get that they're a meme band, but I think they deserve way more credit.
Blake is such a humble guy and doesn't give himself enough credit. DT is one of my favourite bands on the scene currently and the songs are consistently amazing. Keep it up!
I've been ruined for a couple of months lmao. I work with my lil bro and got him into heavier music, anything and everything he puts on (job is 59% traveling) just sounds like a waste of time lmao
The ending of Brimstone and fire (specifically the redux version) is one of the hardest lines of music I've ever heard. And then when I heard Winter and realized what he was actually doing o had to pause to compose myself. It's wild watching the new standard being made in front of us.
I was already becoming a huge fan of Disembodied Tyrant, but this interview made me even more of one. Such a humble guy with a cool backstory is something the scene needs.
This interview was amazing. Super chill guy, and actually motivated me to continue to improve my own work. Thank you Nik and Blake! Also "The Divine Stigmata" is a fkn piece of art
12 min mark. 2 many chefs in the kitchen when wrighting songs can fuck everything up. Lol you are a 24 year old prodigy my friend Sir. Blake of the Tyrant . Thank you for making amazing music
I’ve been addicted to this bands music for the last couple months. Haven’t replayed something this much in a long time 😪 All the production tricks and breakdown salad style just does it for me
Met him at the okc show. Superchill dude. Melancholy is also 1 of my favorite albums. Gotta be crazy that hes touring with soi. Just wish their set was longer!!!
Dude the Periphery shout out made my day! Favorite band and their docs that I’ve watched a million times, influencing the shit I’ve been listening to non stop!
My son will have Nik and Blake as inspiration I hope one day. He is super into Blink by Aviations. I've seen him vibe to the Poetic Edda, Termina, and Lorna Shore. You guys are now the new inspirations for the young bucks coming up. Thank yall for making the music that you do.
You guys were one of the opening bands at the Hardcore/Metal festival at the Worcester Palladium. I had never heard you guys before but I'll tell you what I listen to you guys all the time now! You guys were one of the best shows there!! Fantastic that I got to see you guys live and hopefully not the only time! Congratulations you guys are excellent!!
I’m not a fan of deathcore and “modern” metal but I really enjoyed this interview. This guy seems to have a great future for and in this scene. I just wish him to live the next years with less anxiety . Good interview guys!!! Cheers!!!
Man, back when i was in high school, we never imagined death/extreme/-core metal would get heavier than Meshuggah and necrophagist. Yeah we had tons of ultra-heavy stuff on par with the modern bands, at least in part, but there were obvious periods of stagnation in the broader extreme metal genre, especially in the djent era. His remark about everything being stolen and remixed til it is its own thing is on point, you can hear that with how slayer influenced that first wave of death metal. A lot of musicians can't handle that reality, and they either wind up sounding like everything else, or just give up. Man, dude is a serious class act. Very frank and humble. Definitely one of those people who could pick up any profession and either do it well or exceptionally.
Blake! I was so excited to see you in Denver on your tour but I over estimated my work load that day and was not able to make it. I hope you'll come through denver again soon! Stay healthy my guy.
Never heard of him before, then a few weeks ago I was looking for an Ingrid michealson song called winter song and this came up as well. I added it to my queue thinking that the band name/album cover was cool and let me tell you their cover of vivaldis winter is beyond words. I was completely mindblown! And now I get to watch this interview 🥹
Nik please tell Blake this. He writes the deathcore that has been rattling in my head since the og 2007. your band I know is grateful to have you. I seriously think you are the greatest deathcore band to ever hit the scene. Lorna is good but DT,, I will follow you guys to end. I've been a core kid since core started. You are honestly on a new level. I'm 30 and you God damn kid! You blow my mind. Please don't give up on yourself for one second. And marry that woman cause she believes in you bro. Much love. Come to Erebus kelso Washington or Ridgefield Washington or Portland Oregon. Names calvin and I'd love to meet you man
There must be some kind of cosmic convergence around the initials 'DT' - I LOVE Devin Townsend, Dream Theater, Dark Tranquility, and now Disembodied Tyrant. I decided the other day that he/they are my favourite deathcore band (even though they are MORE than a deathcore band)
whenever songs from tyrant's first album appear in my queue, it seems to me like Shadow of Intent's material, that I, somehow slipped throught. So the next time I hear Shadow of Intent's song, that is not SOI's song, I know who actually did it. But latest content from Blake feels like "...and I return to nothingness", same revolutinary, same short EP as promo to a long play. That is awesome
You got him to boot up his DAW to talk about his mixing and plugins and then talked over and never got back to it? What the actual fuckkk so much value in that potential info
I fully agree with that lorna shore + shadow of intent point he made.. I saw both bands in 2024 and they were the 2 best live performances i have seen in a while.. absolute banger live shows 🤘 And on a side note, also saw disembodied tyrant and i was blown the fuck away
So this guy is one year older than, writes the kind of deathcore I like and plays some of my favorite games as named Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. I could be friends with Blake easily. Those Slavic folk bits Malphasian made me think could he a Witcher fan and I was correct.
The Poetic Edda is literally the new standard for deathcore as far as I’m concerned
I prefer The Tower: Part 1
It's a little too Lorna-Core for my taste but yeah, hard to name any better deathcore from this year than Disembodied Tyrant
not deathcore, symphonic deathcore sure but it is not deathcore. compare this to bloodruns black and tell me how they are considered the same genre. over produced computer garbage
Bro has the sickest mustache for a 24 year old
HE'S ONLY 24?! HOLY SHIT
@Strutsss Nik literally asked that in like the first 5-10 minutes.
European genes 👌🏻
@@Nathdood Why European?
@@Nathdoodyea witches and trolls 😂
This kid is the future and we are all here for it. Goated at 24
@JeremyHyatt-tx4vdthey sounds nothing like Methwitch
@JeremyHyatt-tx4vd Methwitch owns but definitely not. He's been writing shit like this for years and years now.
Goated 🤓
He's only 24?!?!
@JeremyHyatt-tx4vd did you hurt your head or something?
the poetic edda EP is the most heaviest thing I’ve listened to date
Amen! That and Allt
Thanks for the shoutout at 8:30 !
Got to talk to him for a bit on their last tour with Shadow of Intent! Even though his voice was completely gone he still tried his best to talk to me haha. Awesome dude!

I fucking love Blake and what he's doing. Haven't loved a new band this much in a long time
if Caillou grew up to make sick metal music
And was much more likeable
Underrated comment
Best comment, I might have to steal this
Blake is such a humble guy and doesn't give himself enough credit. DT is one of my favourite bands on the scene currently and the songs are consistently amazing. Keep it up!
The idea of blackened deathcore industry plants is comedy gold. Someone needs to start a TV show about that.
Absolutely
The Poetic Edda has completely blown me away. It has ruined all other deathcore bands for me😂
Massterpiece. Even my gf who hates metal liked the violin solo
I've been ruined for a couple of months lmao. I work with my lil bro and got him into heavier music, anything and everything he puts on (job is 59% traveling) just sounds like a waste of time lmao
Love the Igorrr shout out! Been one of my favorite acts since Nostril.
The Beethoven of deathcore. Been following his work for a couple years and just can’t say enough about how much I respect this guys work ethic.
The ending of Brimstone and fire (specifically the redux version) is one of the hardest lines of music I've ever heard. And then when I heard Winter and realized what he was actually doing o had to pause to compose myself. It's wild watching the new standard being made in front of us.
I was already becoming a huge fan of Disembodied Tyrant, but this interview made me even more of one. Such a humble guy with a cool backstory is something the scene needs.
11:00 very important approach, very mature
It's good to see someone so talented not being caught up in ego
Very nice. Very demure.
This interview was amazing. Super chill guy, and actually motivated me to continue to improve my own work. Thank you Nik and Blake!
Also "The Divine Stigmata" is a fkn piece of art
Blake is laying down the hardest compositions and mixes of all time. Keep doing it brother
12 min mark.
2 many chefs in the kitchen when wrighting songs can fuck everything up. Lol you are a 24 year old prodigy my friend Sir. Blake of the Tyrant . Thank you for making amazing music
Chatted with him on tour. Equally humble as he is in this interview. Wish him nothing but the best!
I’ve been addicted to this bands music for the last couple months. Haven’t replayed something this much in a long time 😪
All the production tricks and breakdown salad style just does it for me
Met this dude at their show in Ottawa. Super chill and down to earth guy. And their set was fantastic as well. Definitely gonna see them again!
Damn they were in Ottawa totally missed it!!!!
Niiiiiice! This dude is killin it!
im so glad he mentioned igorr. hallelujah changed my perspective on music when it came out
DT makes me cry every time, it's the best!
Pretty amazing that this tour was his first time playing live. Well done on the music. Can't wait to hear what else you guys come out with.
Met him at the okc show. Superchill dude. Melancholy is also 1 of my favorite albums. Gotta be crazy that hes touring with soi. Just wish their set was longer!!!
He got jumped from the clap at the start 😂
The Poetic Edda is literally the best fucking thing I’ve heard in such a long time!
Dude the Periphery shout out made my day! Favorite band and their docs that I’ve watched a million times, influencing the shit I’ve been listening to non stop!
My son will have Nik and Blake as inspiration I hope one day. He is super into Blink by Aviations. I've seen him vibe to the Poetic Edda, Termina, and Lorna Shore. You guys are now the new inspirations for the young bucks coming up. Thank yall for making the music that you do.
So JAZZED right now to see this in my feed
Just saw these guys live last month. One of the best new metal bands right now
Ohhhh the Igorrr influence makes so much sense!
You guys were one of the opening bands at the Hardcore/Metal festival at the Worcester Palladium. I had never heard you guys before but I'll tell you what I listen to you guys all the time now! You guys were one of the best shows there!!
Fantastic that I got to see you guys live and hopefully not the only time!
Congratulations you guys are excellent!!
Amazing talent !!!
DISEMBODIED DADDIES!!!
So glad Nik interviewed him, one of the most talented musicians in the metal scene right now
He looks totally harmless, its wild what he’s been making. Is his mustache the source of power?
Awesome interview and very cool insights into the history of everything DT.
Dude they’re so fucking awesome live. Really bummed their opening crowd in MI wasn’t as big as it should’ve been. They’re gonna be one of the titans.
I hope this band blows up! The sky is the limit when talent and brainpower collide. Odeholm vibes from this dude but unique in his own vision.
omfggg I noticed the Heretic Prevails part lmaoooo
Fucking genius. Listening to both EP made me feel like I was when I discovered Reclaimer by Shadow Of Intent at 15
I’m not a fan of deathcore and “modern” metal but I really enjoyed this interview. This guy seems to have a great future for and in this scene. I just wish him to live the next years with less anxiety .
Good interview guys!!! Cheers!!!
not even 5 mins in and he’s talking Igorrr. my fuckin man
Man, back when i was in high school, we never imagined death/extreme/-core metal would get heavier than Meshuggah and necrophagist.

Definitely one of those people who could pick up any profession and either do it well or exceptionally.
Thanks, been looking for a good interview with Blake for the last couple of weeks and here it is.
Again thank you
The Igorrr influence was definitely apparent in the recent release. Good to mix up things 🤘
Had the pleasure of chatting with Blake and Dom in Ottawa, such fantastic people and even better musicians
Yeah, i love Igorrr too. I noticed Aberrant Waltz had Opus Brain vibes in parts.
Blake! I was so excited to see you in Denver on your tour but I over estimated my work load that day and was not able to make it. I hope you'll come through denver again soon! Stay healthy my guy.
Thanks man
Man I wanted to go but didn’t have the funds seeing this interview is awesome really wanna try to meet him lol
This ep has been my favorite piece of music all year!
Blake: I stole everyone's shit LOL
Damn Nick. Thank you for this. This guy still seems underated. Seems like people, my friends etc dont hear what i can hear in his compositions.
Never heard of him before, then a few weeks ago I was looking for an Ingrid michealson song called winter song and this came up as well. I added it to my queue thinking that the band name/album cover was cool and let me tell you their cover of vivaldis winter is beyond words. I was completely mindblown! And now I get to watch this interview 🥹
Awesome stuff, love the poetic edda
The first time I listened to the poetic edda I had chills the whole time. I knew in the first 30 seconds this was going to change the scene.
Found them about a week ago. Listen to them every day now haha
The Poetic Edda is so good dude. My seven year old brother's favourite track is Winter (the best Vivaldi cover to date)
My fuckin boi ❤
He makes perfect recordings of his perfect music.
Nik please tell Blake this. He writes the deathcore that has been rattling in my head since the og 2007. your band I know is grateful to have you. I seriously think you are the greatest deathcore band to ever hit the scene. Lorna is good but DT,, I will follow you guys to end. I've been a core kid since core started.

I’d love to know what Blake replaced metal with when he “fell out of love” with metal.
I loooove he's talking about building "The Rig" !! I'm the Guy that facetime them to patch the rig.
whenever songs from tyrant's first album appear in my queue, it seems to me like Shadow of Intent's material, that I, somehow slipped throught. So the next time I hear Shadow of Intent's song, that is not SOI's song, I know who actually did it. But latest content from Blake feels like "...and I return to nothingness", same revolutinary, same short EP as promo to a long play. That is awesome
I respect their music even more after this interview. For me DT is the most exciting deathcore band right now.
Such a cool dude,didn't expect his speaking voice ,was expecting a heavy accent.
He is such a nice guy, i love this dude 🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
Aming for the best? lets gooo can't wait for there new things out.
bro looks like a harkonen
This interview is very inspiring. I’m off practicing guitar now.
Once in a generation talent. Thank God for homeschooling 🎉
You got him to boot up his DAW to talk about his mixing and plugins and then talked over and never got back to it? What the actual fuckkk so much value in that potential info
I fully agree with that lorna shore + shadow of intent point he made..
I saw both bands in 2024 and they were the 2 best live performances i have seen in a while.. absolute banger live shows 🤘
And on a side note, also saw disembodied tyrant and i was blown the fuck away
26:32 Good to know that even Blake thinks that riff is a bit goofy lol
That song is my favourite off of the EP. But hell, I’m the type who thinks carnival horror is cool as shit so 🤷♂️
Currently listening to them. Damn so good
Come to cedar rapids Iowa lmao. We're dying out here
Saw them on their first tour with shadow of intent. It was sick
this guy is the new jezus of deathcore
This is the insanity that pushes boundaries
Bruh disembodied...is on a whole nother level compared to almost anyone else!! ❤❤❤🤯🤯🤯
So this guy is one year older than, writes the kind of deathcore I like and plays some of my favorite games as named Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. I could be friends with Blake easily. Those Slavic folk bits Malphasian made me think could he a Witcher fan and I was correct.
Bro I met igorrr one of my favorite composers besides ruby my dear they pushed the mold of breakcore
the One Punch man of Metal
I love the I just steal it mindset
At the end of the day: Take the time to sit down and figure it out, DIY ALWAYS WINS
I love this guy. He reminds me of me alot!
Sickess band ever ! Had à blest with them in Montreal. Cant wait for them to comme back !
Blake is the sickess, golf player looking MF . 😂
everyone forgot about synestia :(
If lex Luther from smallville had a moustache😂 but also album of the year!
This guy put burzum under his a** easily. Pure talent
Bookakee put Dubstep in their last album in 2018
disembodied tyrant vocalist wooaaaaah
-I just do it. *video ends*
LET THE MAN SPEAK FOR THE TREES!
Blake is the best in the scene 😊
2:00 Hi. Can someone explain me this part? I didn't get these albums. Thank you.
("P2", "Juggernaut", which band?).
Periphery
I was left with the impression Nik did not like the Poetic edda?
