#ArchEnemy #Metal #Reaction
We need a Spiritbox, Jinjer and Arch Enemy Collab.
WHAT A GREAT SUGGESTION!
any other female fronted band aside from jinjer
Arch Enemy vibes makes me wanna revive some skeletons and go to the Cow Level...
hahaah
There is no cow level…
Lol now I gotta download d2 r again
@@shredhead21 beat me to it...
Played so much Diablo 2 while listening to AE that Anthem and Wages tracks instantly reminds me this game !
Jeff's not stepping on any toes and just collecting that pay check.
While warming 3 of his fingers up.
And yet he likes it. People act like Arch killed Nevermore. He quit. Get over it. Solo record coming out any time now. He said end of this year.
Would you like him tour around in small clubs with Conquering Dystopia in his 50s? Do you think he'd be writing music in Megadeth? No, he'd stil be Kirk Hammet, and Dave/Mike are James Hetfield. At least Mike has let new guitar players contribute like Nick Cordle. He cowrote nearly all the songs on War Eternal. What does that say? That Jeff can't write like Nick Cordle? Probably, there's something to it. It's not Arch Enemy style. Here's a snippet from a guitarworld article. Might clear some stuff up 😁 (BTW I'm crossing my fingers for some Jeff cowriting on some of the other 8 AE tracks that haven't been released yet! 🤞)
Will to Power (2017):
_Amott wrote four other full songs in Mexico, then flew back to Sweden and, between gigs, continued writing in his home studio. At one point, he asked Loomis-who was the primary songwriter in Nevermore-if he had any songs to contribute and Loomis was almost ashamed to admit he hadn’t written anything._
_“When they started writing, the album came together really fast,” Loomis says. “I did submit three songs, but I think I might have missed the deadline. I feel really bad about that, but at the same time, I didn’t want to be the new guy coming in saying, ‘Okay, here’s a bunch of new songs I wrote. Let’s go record them.’ So I only did those three and honestly, I don’t think they were in the Arch Enemy style.”_
_“I feel lucky just to have Jeff playing solos on the record,” says Amott._
Alyssa was my introduction to female harsh vocals. She's so good.
Same for me.... during her Agonist days.
Probably one of the best choruses I've heard from them.
@ragin Caucasian ++++
@ragin Caucasian yeah that's the reverse halo affect, Alissa is only being questioned because of her looks and gender. she is actually a great vocalist and i don't care about simping for her it's not like I will date her, i don't care about her looks or personality too, just the music
@ragin Caucasian why we need to focus on gender at all? male or female, i don't care at all. i like both male or female vocalists if they're good, and won't like them if they're bad, simple as that. Alissa is good because she is entertaining and sounds good and for me that matter the most zero fucks given about her gender or looks or whatever. the hate female metal musicians are getting is crazy i can think of so many females who are making great metal this year even better than many men from legacy bands, my AOTY was from a all female Brazilian band who were called out by some comments for being "just girls trying to be the next Death" like that's getting crazy now
@ragin Caucasian bud u feel this way about every women in metal case if so theres a fucken door for your ass
@ragin Caucasian fly leaf is metal to u ok I think your a bit confused kn what metal is first off and second is the music is so bad why does it have the views it does same with other songs previously from this band with alyssa
One of the best choruses I’ve heard from them…but once again I find myself wondering why Jeff Loomis continues to be so underutilized. I know the issue lies with Michael Amott since AE is his baby but he should stop writing cheesy lyrics and let Alissa write more and let Jeff loose to do what he does best. Just my opinion.
Nope, it lies on Loomis being in Alcatrazz and composing third solo album and second conquering dystopia
@@jesus4pincho He’s been in AE for almost 8 years and he only joined Alcattraz this year. And unless I’m mistaken there’s been no talks of a new Conquering Dystopia album in years. So he’s had time to write for AE and he had some ideas for the last album that Amott rejected. Here’s part of what Amott said in an interview: “But, you know, I've always written most of the music, so it's difficult to… I don't really wanna change the sound of the band too much. The band sort of started around my songwriting and my ideas, and those continue to be the most dominant ones, I guess.”
Alissa wrote the lyrics
I agree Jeff should be able to show more of his talent cause let's be honest he's far more skilled than Amott. Amott obviously knows this and doesn't want to be upstaged cause of his ego. Fun track nonetheless - already sounding like one of their best albums!
For real I can’t get over their, hahemm... Michaels lyrics now. Just let Alissa do it. Every few that she wrote was much much better than his.
Would love to recommend the song "...and Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep" by The Agonist. Alissa did some brutal af vocals on this track and the instrumentation is also fantastic.
Riff is insane
Arch Enemy is basically Power Metal but with harsh vocals.
Yep. But they don't care about the genres as much as keeping their sound. Recently they've been tiptoeing around other genres.
"I'm sure bass exists" - Nik 😂
Arch Enemy was my introduction to Swedish Melodic Death Metal
that chorus guitar melody along with the chorus vocal melody are SO perfect, loved this song but mostly that chorus SO SO MUCH
this may be one of my favorite choruses of all time. something about it just hits all the right ponits
I truly believe Jeff Loomis’s skills arent fully being utilized in Arch Enemy. Maybe other tracks will prove me wrong but… I am glad that he will get exposure beyond those who know h from Nevermore. Thats just me.. 🇨🇦
100%. They have one of the best lead guitarists on the planet and do not let him show off.
Loomis is so good that it is practically impossible to use his skills 100%
Bro, even if they make a 10-minute song of him shredding, they still won't use 100% of his talent...
No, he won't be utilized more than this in that band, for any foreseeable period of time. He will remain doing there, what he is doing. 1 solo against Michael's 2 solos. Besides Jeff's solo always seem to sound quiet and dry toned compared to Michael's. Does he (Jeff) even chooses his own guitar tone or is that also forced by Michael?
But the song, quality, chorus are amazing ofcourse and i really like melody too. Catchy.
On the other hand it is somewhat understandable.
If you let in a lot Jeff's influence (Nevermore sound or Jeff's solo projects styled sound) and let him to leads half-times it wouldn't be Arch Enemy anymore, but sort of "Arch-more" lol.
They would impelent 7 strings and Michael would have to do a lot of learning how to handle 7 strings :D Plus they have to go slower, but more progressive and darker. Such thing we won't see... esp. considering how high fan-base they have right now with what they do.
@@ingmarpeterson2955 I understand and agree to all of it but of course we haven’t heard the whole album but on older AE albums Michael brother would solo like a motherfucker and now its almost like Jeff isnt being used at all. I can understand that his influences wouldnt sound like AE but I would hope they could at least let him shred a bit 🤷🏼♂️ every ones points are valid and I love hearing them. Cheers
It has a strong Dark Tranquility's vibe in the chorus I think
Nice spot. Chris Amott cowrote it.
I was hearing classic In Flames in that, but yea classic Gothenburg Melodeath nonetheless
honestly the only song I've been able to actually listen to by them since Angela stepped down from lead vox.
Chorus riff sounds In Flamesy. Thats a compliment ofc
sound. the tone of the riff, not the riff itself prob
I thought it sounded a bit like Soilwork. I like Soilwork.
It's slightly similar to/ripped off from Machine Head's Be Still and Know, which is great cause I like that song too!
Great chorus
Nik. New bad omens. It's a banger. Put on spotify ❤
New Bad Omens reaction whereee
"Glass ain't no joke"
-Nik Nocturnal, 2021
Kickass! Best song this year (for me) 😁🤘. Thanks Nik for doing this. Cheers!
I suggest a reaction to Infected Rain
AE putting out quality tracks at this stage in their career is enough for me 🤘.
Really missed Jeff's solo
I still wait for them to plug him in.. or another Conquering Dystopia / Solo album.
Jeff is so undervalued in this band.
@@Sharvictus the solos could be SO MUCH cooler but I feel like they are holding back in this band.. such a build up to the solo and it kinda disappointed, expected more :/
Jeffs tapping was awesome though. He will get to initiate that breakdown in hundreds of shows and it's going to be epic. Stage center, alone, kicking ass! I get chills just thinking about it. Some shows have 10-100 thousand people.
ok this one was pretty badass, been a hot minute since i jammed to some Arch Enemy.
also Nik you gotta hit up the new Bad Omens track, absolute fucking banger!
It gave me some old school AE carry the cross vibes.... Glad this band is still kicking ass
I don't think there was a single one of us who weren't head bobbing in time with nik on this one. man, this song has GROOVE!
Damn...that woman is on fire!🔥
Always a pleasure to hear Alissa.
Let Alissa free. Let her sing more and this band will be epic. Will be refreshing.
Sounded like some old school dark tranquility
Goddess Alissa. That chorus tho
I like Da Chorus and the intro too.
I just realised we haven’t seen a video from you showing off your guitar collection! I for one would love to see it…
Just imagine,Arch Enemy with Will Ramos create a song together
"I'm sure bass exists" lol 😆 I love how the bass is always in Nik's subconscious. Like it's there we know it's there but yeah, moving on.
Sounds like the old In Flames. HBU?
New Bad Omens Nik! Artificial Suicide is pretty sick!
BOI THIS SONG WAS JUST ENERGY
Fun jam
Any idea, what their todays amp/effect chain consist of…? Great tone!
Can't wait for Deceivers!
The first second got me laughing so hard 🤣
Its one of there better recent songs, but idk about the video. Im still in love with thier older stuff more.
Is there a way I can see Nik's full album reactions from his past twitch streams?
Jeff Loomis is like fine wine he only gets better with age
..you’re saying that after hearing “Heir to the Throne”, right?
@@bcbitchkkv ?
@@celticluna1691 your statement reflects your thoughts after hearing “Jeff Loomis - Heir To The Throne” released in 2021, right?
@@celticluna1691 meaning that Jeff is so much better than everyone in this band and he can do so much more if he was allowed to adjust the sound of Arch Enemy. Unfortunately they’ve been very safe lately and while everything is “good” it’s all very stable.
What he did in this song is nothing compared to his other work.
@@bcbitchkkv I don't listen to Jeff's solo work an I'm not saying Jeff Loomis is not so much better than everyone else in arch enemy they are all very talented Alissa's vocals are as lovely an brutal as they've always been Jeff's guitar work lawless the rest of em mind blowing
Arch Enemy is rock n roll done right.
The first song Ive heard from Arch Enemy that ive liked. I still preferred Alissa in her previous band The Argonist but glad to see Arch enemy imo is finally making good use of her.
Well, she might know the best waffle recipe in the world, doesn't mean she should use it here. She herself said she used to use the analogy "a drummer could know how to do an amazing flamenco beat, doesn't mean he should". Can't argue with that.
@@mikeh6286 don't know what youre getting at tbh
@@tigerfalco Mm... I'm a bit confused myself. Did you edit the comment? My reply is to a comment that makes a point somewhere along the lines of "a band member should always display their full potential". This kind of talk doesn't make too much sense to me. That's what I was trying to explain. 😁👍 Sorry if that's not what you meant. In which case please disregard! 😁🤘
@@mikeh6286 The only change I made was a typo, i changed "precious band" to "previous band". And what I meant with the original comment was that I think The Argonist was a better fit for Alissa musically. I liked that band more with her than Arch enemy. Argonists style of music let Alissa shine, but with Arch enemy she typically stays in the same vocal range, like she performs less if that makes sense. Admittedly Argonists genre wise felt closer to metalcore/deathcore(kind of), while Arch enemy feels closer to standard metal, so I liked how Argonists sounded more (but admittedly imo, they dont sound as good without Alissa).
AA needs to showcase Jeff Loomis way more, he is a FAR better player than Michael
Amott gives me later Kirk Hammettt vibes where his leads are detrimental to the song rather than being icing on a cake.
I still want to hear Loomis riffs with (Alissa’s) growls over them.. thought it’d happen when he joined the band, but I’m still waiting 🤥
@@MaestroJericho Tbh, I'd rate Kirk higher than Michael these days. The solo in this song was embarrassing imo.
Because its not Jeff's band....
@@Jopeymessmusic it sounds like he did it in one take after thinking "let's add a solo"
i knew this video was incoming, and it's warranted because the last one was a bit Punk Rock, this one is like Power Metal, they're blending genres and seeing what makes the best tasting smoothie for our ears.
Bingo!🤘😈
*Perfect...*
Best chours ever!
IDK if it's only me , this gives me Children of Bodom vibes , love this !
Great stuff. I have a feeling that Nik's subs are very young and they mostly listen to the "fresh and hip" stuff. 😁
Bad omens - artificial suicide . Shit slaps and red alert 2 vibes
Got a question can you react to scrap pile "killed in a cave"?
Is that some kind of a local meme about Jeff being a Ferrari? 😂
Nik have you ever listened to Blessthefall?? Completely worth it. Their bassist has some of the best harsh vocals.
"I'm sure bass exists" *spits coffee in laughter*
Nik you should check out Amity's Death is All Around Us.....little bit different than their typical stuff....Of course Joe's great screams....Aaron's cleans...but they actually really feature their drummer in this song. Pretty simple song...somewhat short but a banger.
Listening Arch Enemy is like riding a horse into battle but the horse is a huge pitbull and you are a viking drinking the blood of your enemies through a obsidian horn.
510 - false crown
510 - Alive
510 - Collapsed
510 - The last Suffer
Choose 1 for react bro
Nick you should do a guitar cover the new eternity from silent planet!
Are you going to do a reaction to "Fearless" by The Browning? One of my new favorites
sounds like new Enterprise Earth
very Canadian "sorry" after the sneeze eh
Where does Alissa get those clothes from, my gf loves that stuff but like where do you find stuff like that
Any time I see they've released something, I want them to unleash Loomis. Michael is the most average metal player. Which is weird because he also did carcass. Who are awesome. But like, having that kind of basic af solo when Loomis is right there is a bit on the embarrassing side of things tbh. Good that Jeff has secured the bag I guess. 😅😂
The fuckin owl was gold, sir. Song is alright.
Would love to see you react to this video "RESOLVE - Surrender (One Take Vocal Performance) ", french band
Arch Enemy is still my favourite band after all those years and maybe that will never change now, i will never get enough of them
You're not alone buddy. I got into them about 2-3 years ago and I am home. I prefer their style WAY more than clean/heavy switching bands, or bands that try to always go 1000miles and hour on the guitars. It's all about feel here.
You should do one with one of Bad Omens new songs.
You gotta check out Vexxed and Scene Queen!
Nik can you do a orphan dyling light review???
Check out "If Not for me" - "Burn"
Song is badass and I'm sure you would enjoy them alot
Would like to see you check out patient sixty-seven. They just released a cover of all I want for Christmas is you and it slaps. Some good originals to check our are wayfarer, damage plan and anything off their home truths album.
Made reaction for Vampir bmth song 😬
hell yeah im in a nik nocturnal vid!
I don’t listen to arch enemy driving lol 😂 i speed to much.
Please review "Run It" (metalcore cover) - Reserate band!! Its lit af👌👌
Hey Nik! Reacts to "BAD OMENS - ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE" it's like dethrone 2
Would love to see you react to the new song from "The Oklahoma Kid - Pale Tongue" pretty unique stuff and they should get more attention imo.
Their whole last album Sollaray was a Banger. You won't be dissapointed
Yesss please
He just checked it out on twitch, he was surprised how great it was since he hadn't heard of them before
Is it a cover of the Darko US song of the same name?
@@joshuas193 no

You mean the premier? Me too!

I always try to judge how the song will be by your face in the Thumbnail....lol i dunno why
Listening to this i feel Michael is running out of ideas. Just skipped through some old songs and they stick with me on a level this can’t. And you have Jeff Loomis in this band…. Like common… Jeff Loomis. I know this isn’t Nevermore or Conuering dystopia but give the man a moment to shine.
Exactly, I really don't see what the hype is about. Neither of the two newer songs have memorable riffs/choruses/etc. Gojira and Mastodon have super nice new stuff going on I don't see how Arch Enemy is releasing some played out stuff.
Honestly, it's still great music in my opinion. I like the new stuff, Loomis should definitely be able to play way more. I mean come on you have Jeff Loomis in your band, probably one of the greatest lead guitarists at the moment. Other then that i like it though. Just my opinion.
Can you do a reaction video on decline the fall-sinister
React to vampir of BMTH
Nik, can we get a reaction to the video of One the Edge by As the Structure Falls?
I kinda wanna hear her sing more
She herself doesn't like to put cleans in Arch Enemy. Check out her other projects. Arch Enemy has their signature sound. 25+ year legacy.
@@mikeh6286 Oh i know, i used to listen to them more when Gossow was the vocalist. I'm not a big fan of them now as my musical taste has changed lol but yea, i'll check out her other projects
Is there any stuff out there where she just does clean singing the whole time?
A Reason To Believe is pretty good
@@immaculatemisconception24 Yeah, that's my favorite song of theirs because of the cleans lol
Me and that man - Goodbye (alissa cleans)
Kane Roberts - Beginning of the end (same)
@@mikeh6286 Shit, thanks dude. That's a good ass song.
Please react Born Of Osiris - Shadowmourne, dude.
Mate you should check out Grotesque Throne by No Signs Of Life, I’m sure it won’t disappoint 👀
Needs more Jeff Loomis I agree
React to Bad Omens hehe
DO THE NEW THORNHILL ALBUM
CHECK NEW BAD OMENS SONG
