hip hop head reacts to metal
power metal
how to play
I'm a simple man, I see Alex Hefner watching Unleash the Archers in my subscription feed, I click the like button before watching the video
Edit: if I could like the video a second time for Austin I would, because he's a joy to have in these reactions
I did the same thing.
Very few things make me as happy as seeing people react to Brittney's voice for the first time. She's a goddess.
His smile is getting bigger and bigger with each song..... It's working alex
Atomic Noodle Yes...Now make his jaw hit the floor... Eternal Refuge by Whitechapel.
Can't just jump straight into Whitechaple. you gotta ease him into that stuff. Hell, Alex hasn't even listened to Whitechaple yet. But Brimstone (their newest release) is super sick. Another one that would be cool to see Alex react to is Excommunicate by Deicide. @@toyotaecw
Thomas Arnott You’re right, ease in with Prostatic Asphyxiation Fluid.
Becoming a metal head......you are
That is a hella smile
The look Alex gives Austin at 4:34 was like "yeah .. mission complete" xD
OMG you guys are so much fun to headbang with🤘🏻😝🤘🏻
Nightwish, DragonForce, or Iced Earth would all be excellent choices for Austin.
Dracula by Iced Earth? Oh yeah
Also Wolf and When the Night Falls for Iced Earth songs.
React to Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado 2016
The stidio version is better
I totally fuckin agree, but not live. Studio is much better.
Why not Intra Venus?
@@Joshua-by4dc I still think the live version will be more entertaining for his viewers to watch
@@patan93 also for them to see how technical the music is and how this bands nails every single note live.
I need to thank both Alex and the Hefner crew. Without you guys I might never have come across this musical gem. To date, this band (in particular this album) has been in my top 5 favorite artists. I'll often just listen to this album on repeat! Thank you for bringing such musical joy into my life!
Also...You need to have Austin react to Nightwish. You know the song Alex! Make it happen!
I want bobblehead figures of you two in my car! :D
Would be awesome merch indeed :>
I’m down
Or better yet Funko Pops!
The Funko Warrior thats what I was Trying to spell but gave up! 😂
lol @@amandahibbs3690
Dude thank you so much for making my day dope as hell!!
For your double blind reaction I suggest Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth.
Best way to describe songs like this is fun. They’re so much fun to listen to and it’s easy to lose yourself in the song.
Get him to react to Ghost Love Score - Nightwish Live at Wacken. The drums on there are awesome
Everything is awesome in that video.
Worst Nightwish song ever !
HE IS NOT READY!!!
When a girlfriend didn't like Nightwish about 15 years ago.... and kept prefering HipHop I knew: "this Bimbo is not for breeding!"
Yes!! Unleash the Archers are one of the best newer bands. Not well known enough yet.
Next song should be Tonight We Ride.
Blind Guardian- valhalla(live) it's such a beautiful performance. Not only is the song great but the audience is just AMAZING!
nice song I already watched. you shall try Die Toten Hosen - Hier Kommt Alex (live, Argentina)
This particular song by Unleash the Archers should be the benchmark of ALL future and current metal bands.
React with him Doomsday - Architects
YEEEEES!
UTA’s drummer is out of this world!
Some great headbanging classic metal to review:
Black Sabbath "Children of the Grave"
Judas Priest "Riding on the Wind"
Iron Maiden "Powerslave"
Metallica "For Whom the Bell Tolls" or "Eye of the Beholder"
Trivium "Becoming the Dragon"
Keep up the great work!!!
Hahaha, the simultaneous head wiggling in the chorus is fSQUEAKing priceless, man!
DARK TRANQUILLITY - LOST TO APATHY
the poet and the pendulum nightwish !!!!!!!
Please listen to Insomnium - While we Sleep
Floris Biezeman omg please!!
Damn, thanks for reminding me of that band. One of the best ive heard in the latest.
Floris Biezeman YES! Best Melodic Death Metal song there is
Yep.....
I love your friend dude. He's so well educated on instruments.
Alex, show Austin Nightwish - Ghost Love Score. He seems to like more melodic stuff so that should fit perfectly. And come on dude, it's obvious. You pretty much couldn't close your mouth when you listened to it. Can't wait to see his reaction.
We should promote a variety of nightwish! Perhaps another of their good ones
*cough* "Greatest Show on Earth" *cough*
Yeah, definitely show Austin Ghost Love Score!
For sure! Austin needs to get him a Floorgasm.
If You two wanna react to something, You have already seen, Alex, I would say 'Dragonforce - Through Fire And Flames' is THE ONE!! Reason: GUITAR SOLO!! 😎😎😎
That drummer makes Heel/Toe look easy!
ikr one of the best footwork i've seen in a while!
Searching for something, that's new to the both of You, I'd say, 'ICED EARTH - BLACK FLAG' or '.. - CLEAR THE WAY' (Power Metal), 'MANOWAR - THE POWER OF THY SWORD' (Epic Metal) or 'AMARANTHE - HUNGER' (Melodic Metal Core? With 3 different vocal styles) !!!!
Since he's a drummer give "The Violation" by Fleshgod Apocalypse a listen, amazing drumming
Dual first time reaction with Austin listening to Tesseract - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). Austin seems so into the complexity of drumming he would love Tesseract.
Epica - consign to oblivion live at the zenith
What did I say (or wrote)… Austin was on fire, eyes lit and a mad grin on his face. You two are a hilarious couple, enjoyable to watch these reactions and Austin being a musician adds a nice little spice in the usual Alex-soup :-) This made my day, and propably the whole next week. And what an incredible song, still, after 100+ listens.
Alex man can you please do Blind Guardian-Mirror mirror live from imaginations through the looking glass?!?!?! Also Blind Guardian- Valhalla live is reeeaaally epic too!!!! You'll love it!!! And when we're at it throw in Blind Guardian-The bard's song (in the forest) live as well!!!
This cmoooon
If Austin is really vibing the Power Metal, you NEED to react to Blind Guardian. They are an AMAZING band and one of the best in the power metal genre.
I would prefer the Valhalla cover from Heaven Shall Burn ;-)
@@Brainless437 i personally really don't, at least hansi does the vocals on that one haha
The Last Candle live
How about
Hammerfall - Heart on fire / Any means necessary
Manowar - Warriors of the world
Die with honour, Sons of Odin, Battle Hymns..
Alex should do least 5 to 10 reactions on Manowar alone
Call to arms is another good one
I can believe that you recomended warriors of the world, this album is the biggining of the fall of Manowar, if you like Manowar and not recommend kings of metal, hail to England or Louder than hell you dont know the meanining of Manowar and you dont know their career. With all my respect, warriors of the world was the first fucking shit in their discography, i was a great fan but since that album the people dont want know nothing about Manowar.
@@trabeks why do you think we care at which point YOU stopped listening to Manowar, older stuff was great but so is the new one, Manowar is not that complicated.
@@mementomori1900 It is not the point where I stop listening to Manowar, I have listened all the discs, if I had not listened to them I would not give an opinion, it is not just my opinion, all the specialized media think the same. I am not saying that the latest albums do not have good songs, but they do not reach the quality of the previous ones, just as the voice of Eric Adams is no longer what it was.
Why don't you react to the album Apex from Unleash the Archers since you loved this song so much ? It is a wonderfull concept album with a great story to follow through
i'd say that's the first album that i've heard which is completely flawless.
the title track for the album is absolutely awe-inspiring and builds into a definite banger of a song
Hell of am album. Matriarch, Shadow Guide, Apex, Awakening... Every song is a killer. My least favourite one is cleanse the bloodline and even that one is good. Just not as awesome as the others.
Everything by Unleash the Archers is flawless
Absolutely agree! The whole album is an incredible display of musicianship. One of the few near-perfect albums I've ever heard.
You guys have so much energy together, it is so fun to watch! 12th attempt for some Volbeat!
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope 🤘
Its nice having Austin in the videos because hes been a musician so he can weigh in and teach Alex things about playing music
Show him: THE HAVIEST MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE - GOJIRA
Then the Rob Scallon version "The Heaviest Banjo in the Universe."
Gojira-the gift of guilt
I agree! Keep saying this should be one for Austin.... you can't miss the drums in that!!!!
Goobers i tell you- all up in that humble abode! But so entertaining. Thanks for the fun of it all. Great song, can't wait to see the 2 of you react to something new! As always, much love and respect!! Rock on!!!
Epica-Consign to oblivion (live at zenith)
Thats wild that this band has made it this far.
I remember playing a show with them in 2012 at the starlight room in edmonton AB. Great band live, great people as well, and not very surprising that they made it as far as they have. its wild how far they've come in 6 years. i mean, they were somewhat big when i played with them, as they came from Vancouver to play with us. but damn, they have come a lot further.
big props to them.
SHADOW OF INTENT - THE HERETIC PREVAILS
Great band
I've been requesting this band for fucking months.
Her "ooooaaaaaaa" in the beginning makes me think of Year of the Phoenix by Pyramaze. She has such a powerful voice, I love those types of vocals.
CARCASS - HEARTWORK !!!! I've been asking for months
Yes! Keep requesting this one, I have been too.
True
This songs energy is crazy after watching it you wanna either rewatch or wish it was longer
DO NIGHTWISH TOGETHER! The Poet And The Pendulum if you want a long, diverse and emotional piece, or Master Passion Greed if you wanna go heavy (either way you should react to both at some point)
Edit: Also about Trivium: It's actually difficult to fit them into a single genre these days. They've gone from metalcore to thrash to melodic death metal and so on. I will agree that metalcore's probably the one they've done most.
I love this song. Anytime I have a friend that tells me metal is just noise for the sake of noise I point them to this video. It's a clinic on the level of skill required.
Just to note, the drummer does a LL-RR type of double bass rather than the normal LRLR. So double hitting each foot, rather than just alternating one to the other. And it's not a heel-toe technique. Impressive work and I'm sure it helps with those interesting patterns he uses later.
Y’all need Edguy (power metal):
The Piper Never Dies
Mysteria
Tears of a Mandrake
The Asylum
Down to the Devil
Under the moon!
Fucking yea!The album Monuments, and...the realms of Baba Yaga. Edguy please return!!!!
Mysteria!
I don’t get chills very often at all, but every time I hear Brittney’s powerful vocals, I get goosebumps. She’s an immensely talented vocalist, definitely in the top 5 female vocalists in metal right now. I’d recommend Tonight We Ride or General of the Dark Army by them as well. Great video as always, Austin is hilarious. Great reaction guys \m/
Freakin love Unleash the Archers! Awesome video as always dude., If you ever want to try another Unleash the Archers song it's got to be Test Your Metal!! 🤟
Blind Guardian - Mirror mirror
Avantasia - Reach out for the light
Theocracy - Hide in the fairy ztale
Kamelot - The Haunting ft Simone Simons
Helloween - Straight out of hell
Demon Hunter - Not ready to die
Demons and Wizards - Fiddler on the Green
Powerwolf - Sanctified with dynamite
Tengger Cavalry - Cavalry in Thousands
Thank you for your patronage. Blind Guardian :D
Someone likes power infused metal and gothic and fantasy style metal haha
Polyphia goat
As far as Avantasia goes, I would say Scarecrow live at Wacken would be a good reaction.
+1 for Kamelot, anything off Epica or Black Halo is golden
46 and 2 by The o'keefe foundation (tool cover). its a studio recording so you see the musicians doing all the sections of the song. the singer absolutely nails it. It would make for an amazing "converting" reaction vid
Alex! Show him Mike Portnoy, the drummer from Dream Theater! Both of y'all will love it!
"Under a Glass Moon (LIVE score)"
I want to see both of you react to Alien by Maximum the Hormone. Crazy good japanese band in the vein of System of a Down
Maximum the Hormone is amazing.
Carcass - Heartwork
Death - Crystal Mountain
Entombed- Wolverine Blues
your videos have reminded me of how much i like music. Like it sounds weird but I played music for like 10-12 years and for the past few i just haven't touched any instruments. So i'm redoing my bass (repainting it so its way more badass and replacing a few bits) and I'm gonna get back to it! You've also reminded me of bands I haven't even thought about in years that I used to be super into, so thanks.
NeObliviscaris -
And plague flowers the kaleidoscope
You need to check out "TONIGHT WE RIDE". Great metal, great video and Brittney`s vocals are just phenomenal !!! It will blow you away .... KILLER !!!!
Epica - consign to oblivion (live zenith)
He did it! He saw my Comment :0 no joke XD well done! One of the best Power Metal Bands\m/
is it finally time? nightwish - ghost love score
He already react to this
@@grhgorhspoluxronopoulos2721 tbf, he also reacted to this Unleash the Archers song by himself a few months ago.
Alter Bridge - Words Darker Than Their Wings Live at the Royal Albert Hall
React to This Love by Pantera!
Honestly one of the best songs.
Polyphia goat
Joshua - I really like Immortally Insane!
gmon78 I just listened to it, I have not even heard of that wow
@@jabgaming5601 It's a great song. Gotta love that riff! Dimebag was a god!
gmon78 yeah I know he was a god. I just subbed to you bro
The reason they look so "calm" is because each musician is recorded solo doing their individual parts (calm look), then they filmed the whole band playing together. Part of the reason they do the constant camera switch up, so its easier to edit.
Can I recommend either Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Epica, Kamelot, Lacuna Coil, Sevendust, Steel Panther, A Perfect Circle, Coheed And Cambria ... okay so the last 2 aren't exactly "metal" but they fucking rock🤘🤘
Are you sure Austin isn’t already a closeted metalhead!? Lol love watching you guys react to some of my favorite songs
React to Arch Enemy's "The Eagle Flies Alone"
His reaction to that bass lick at 10:34...feels bro...feels.
Nightwish - Poet And the Pendulum (Live Wembley)
Most overrated Nightwish song. I disagree personally.
I was introduced to this band on this channel so thank you! All tho I am now in love with this woman so DAM YOU! Lol great reaction!
Saw them live about a month ago and they were absolutely amazing
I'm loving the videos with Austin, always very funny. You both need to hear Time by Wintersun (at Sonic Pump Studios) I think both of you will LOVE this masterpiece !
The best bit about all these videos is when Alex gets, like, this expression of "OH what the fuck is.. REALLY..??? Okay..." because it's so damned juicy and good, it's like there's no way music could be this good. Like right at 9:46 when that guitar solo switches. XD
*Blind Guardian - Mirror mirror*
Alex would be a good lead guitarist. His fingers are hella long which makes it easy to navigate the fretboard. All it is in the end is finger dexterity
Please react to Bury Tomorrow!!! Some awesome songs are Man On Fire, Last Light, Eternal, or Watcher are just some of my go to BT songs.
I like it. It's got a little of an Iron Maiden vibe and I really love her voice. Thanks for introducing me to a band I never heard of. Looks like I need to get out of my 70's to 90's bubble. Try some Megadeth for him.Rock on!!
Faith no more - Epic
You shoud do a dual response to EPICA - Universal Death Squad or Edge Of The Blade.
This!!!
Edge of the blade 1000 times yes and storm the sorrow for good measure
REACT TO EPICA - consign to oblivion live zenith Please
A characteristic of Power Metal which is different than Thrash Metal is that it uses a galloping type rhythm in the drums, which Jared picked up on there in that one part, while Thrash Metal has a more chugging sound.
React to Wage War - The River!
I love the melody for this song so much. That climb and then descent in the chorus is so good.
Tool - The Pot
Lamb of God - Grace
Please
Why the pot tho? Tool has so many bangers, the pot is a mid range song for them imo
*talks to someone with metal in their ears and headphones on* DOUBLE BASS! *smiles because he has no idea what's going on*
Alex React to Epica( ascension dream state armageddon ) please.
My Last Attack by Holy Grail!!! Sick shredding bro.
Northlane - Quantum flux
Please
Been here since 30k sub love your channel man!
You guys are funny and killing it at the same time.
Metal girls ...... Nothing more bad ass
Ken C Truth!
And sexy
I've found channels with black dudes reacting to metal that has become so much fun.
You said it best, he needs to hear meshuggah - bleed! It's such a great piece of talent and synchronization.
Unleash the Archers. Watch General of the Dark Army for a fun song, Tonight we Ride to see Brittney's vocal range, and Apex for some iron maiden style double guitars and overall best song.
overall best song : The Matriarch, in my opinion
Call Me Immortal
Yes Austin back. He adds more layers to this reaction video.
Do the poet and the Pendulum from nightwish, wembley 2016!!
Dude you have to react to unleash the archers- cleanse the bloodline! That song is just as, if not more badass than awakening!
Next Stop Blind Guardian or Nightwish...he will die ;)
Actually if you pay close attention he is playing double strokes with each foot instead of a steady rhythm. So two notes with the right then two with the left back and forth so it sounds like one steady beat. I've been a musician pretty much my entire life and am a drummer of 36 years and i can tell you they are killing it on another level.
You need to watch, EPICA - Consign to Oblivion live at Zenith 💕
