Never seen somebody that looked so happy and dead inside at the same time
Think it can compete with Hide the pain Harold
😂
Agreed haha
Love the profile pic lol
@@BrandomStuff A fellow wolves at the gate fan?
I was recently browsing technical death metal and Spotify apparently decided that SOAD is a technical death metal band
They arent?
And apparently, Lorna Shore is Thrash Metal
@@ItsJojodawgobviously
@@JacksContentwhat are they , then ?
@@kawaiipandorapanda there nu metal
How incredibly dedicated nik is, that he changes his hoodie, hairstyle and the entire time of the day to tell us about the sub percentage. If that doesn’t deserve a sub with notifications turned on, I don’t know what does 🎉
Because he does fun metal things here
He does all that, even though the percentage of unsubscribed has been 51% for over a year. Dedication
The "All new metal" list is basically all new songs that got out during the week from all styles that could be tied to a metal subgenre. I don't think it's really filtered.
Spiritbox and Silent Planet were there in the prior weeks but songs can't stay more than one week. I don't think there's any order either other than groups with more monthly listeners tend to be higher on the list.
Exactly. We all know Spotify makes rubbish's playlists but this isn't meant to be a best songs playlist just a weekly update of what's come out. A misunderstanding here honestly.
@@RATEDRRYAN1 I mean it is literally called "All" New Metal, not "Good" New Metal. And metal is an incredibly loose term these days. Just look at Sleep Token. They do whatever the hell they want and are still considered metal. It's not strictly fair to judge all these other bands just because they aren't as good or famous as Sleep Token.
also, some bands have ballads come up which messes with categorising, Soen have some decently heavy tracks that I'd say are metal, even though its very melodic
😂 exactly
This aged weird cause now Nik is on this playlist lol
Yeah mine today is completely different and dare I say pretty fire for Spotify. Some days algorythms glitch completely, and for example suggest me nothing but prog/70s classic/glitter rock even though that makes for maybe 3% of what I listen to.
@@TomssP642 I know that feeling. I have similar experiences with the playlists. At least it's usually things I listen to a lot, without realising the genre is what it is. So I can find some good new bands or singers.
Damn that was quick lol
Meanwhile my "local" rock radio station is still playing the same shit they were when I was in high school....
20 years ago
And that "same shit" was 20 years old when you were in high school lol
Try at least 35yr ago around here. Hope you luv, ac/dc and gunz and rosz....
@@scotmac5965at this point the classic rock station and the regular rock station have the exact same play list.
I love how dissapointed he gets every time
Fr lol I'm not a masochist cut it's glorious.
yt music recommended me MGK as an artist similar to children of bodom
MGK created metal so it makes sense.
YT recommended section is cursed AF, I've never seen them recommend me something I would like to even think about checking
@@RyanNJ 😭😭
Oh, you poor thing!!! I would've probably curled up on the floor in the fetal position and ... 😭😭😭😭
@@mikoajnierada7857that's laughably incorrect my YT music algorithm is perfectly trained to only recommend shit that works together. If I Play Static X it's only playing similar music and same if I throw on cattle decapitation 🤷♂️
2 times this week my subscription feed has put respect on your name, always a joy when this poser blesses us
Ok but in order to be a poser u gotta actually try to trick people
@@altuervohe is tricking people, he’s a poser
Who's a poser?
@@omerta316 Nik nokturnal
@jdwoods5790 who's he tricking?
Spotify could've picked any song off the new soen album and they picked the ballad for the metal playlist... bruh
I think this playlist doesn't mean New Metal as a genre (Taake for example is definitely Black Metal), I think it means the list contains Metal songs which are new.
Yeah at first thats what i thought this vid was about like checking out new recent songs lol i think if it was ,,new metal’’ as a genre it would be called sth different? Or i just understood it differentlt myself
of course, it is it isn't nu metal if that's what you mean if not sorry for interrupting your day.
Taake er fr så banger. Såg også Kvelertak sin nye sang der men han hørte ikke på den 😭
I wonder what goes into Spotify's algorithm sometimes, or who curates these playlists. Like the list had some good metal songs in it but it was very few and far between in that long list.
Wonder how many are heavy bands but only the ballads make it onto the playlist
1. There is a lot of AI involved, so many of these types of “new” playlists of all genres are just grabbed by AI from artists that are labeled as such by the artists themselves and what type of people listen to it
2. Artists can actually request for their music to be added to these playlists as a form of promo
Soen is bloody amazing, 6th studio album just came out but the 3rd Lykaia is still my favourite prog metal album
I really like Soen, but Memorial was pretty weak, Lotus was probably their high point
@@ptr_does_music7042there were some great songs on the new album, but I think Lotus was better as well
Preach brother, also they are incapable of suggesting similar music when creating playlists. I had the Beatles and lamb of god in a playlist created for the user. I don't even listen to the Beatles wtf
Discovered Save Us because of this video. Absolutely loving Distance and playing the hell out of it on repeat the last 24 hours. Thank you a bunch Nik, for the discovery! ❤
same here bro! what a banger
POV: You're a core kid who doesn't understand black metal 4:01
(Love you, Nik!)
Soen is actually really awesome prog metal. The song that came up in the play list does not represent what this band is all about at all. It's quite heavy. And the vocalist is just awesome.
For real, Lotus and Cognitive are fantastic albums
@@goddammit9757 Imperial is great too.
Dat's not heavy chief
@@killasjanitor Well, i said quite heavy. It's not DeathMetal or BlackMetal heavy of course. Quite heavy for prog metal.
I'm just happy that there was a Finnish band singing IN Finnish there. And it was hella good too.
Suomi mainittu?
Had to check the song out and it seems to be really atmospheric up until the chorus. The video is beautiful as hell.
Finnish bands singing in finnish NEEDS to get more popular imo. Bands like Turmion Kätilöt or Klamydia for example.
@@nickname_KanzanI thought Klamydia sounds more punk
Okay but Polaris being on there is a rare Spotify W
Especially after they released their new album last week, which was absolutely awesome. RIP Ryan.
@@snakeeyes9246 rip to an absolute legend
Seeing them next week! Gonna be awesome.
@@NeonEmpireOfficial hell yeah, I'm seeing them in November
@brandonsperberg6371 we hoped to get the opening slot but sadly didn't :(
I'm gonna be honest that Pency Sloe - Strangers song is a banger. Sounds like a mix of Deftones, Mastodon and Portishead. Weird mix but it somehow works, lol.
I like all of those things so I'll check this one
I fully listened to Distance by Save Us, and it’s absolutely a bop, legit one I can’t stop listening to
Taake is pretty solid black metal.
I'm born '88. My "New Metal" playlist is everything around Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Korn, Guano Apes, Sum41, Muse, 4Lyn, Emil Bulls, P.O.D.
Pretty much everything that didnt have a clear genre at this time :D
Fellow 4lyn Enjoyer
3:40 Not gonna lie, Kaunis kuolematon is one of my favorite doom metal bands, and I never realised they released a new single until i saw this video.
Thanks Nik ❤
1:55 The context/content of Levitate by Bernth is that he cut the neck off of his guitar and played it with just the body and beck, pulling the headstock changed pitches and such
AFAIK All New Metal is just a collection of all new metal releases of that week and gets updated every friday. Spiritbox, Silent Planet and Termina were on the list when their respective songs were released. They just remove all songs from that list after a week. When you look at the most recent list, all songs were added 1 day ago.
Hell yeah was waiting to see polaris, that whole album SLAPS.
Revnoir sounded pretty rad...need to check that one out.
Idk what Spotify has against metal because I would be listening to only metal and metal instrumental for 2-3 weeks and get 1 metal recommended in my discover weekly.
They get paid to recommend you pop/rap
in mainstream metal and even rock has not much relevance in terms of money. hip hop, rap, rnb, kpop, electronic are all much more important.
Totally agree!
It's so hard, especially for small bands like us, that really try to bring something new and fresh to the scene.
We get totally neglected by all the monopoly of the big labels and players but still try not to be discouraged.
Thx for speaking up! 🙌🏼
Very happy The Plague was featured on this playlist. I was on them when they were brand new. David Adam Monroe is a legend.
I was happy to see Kvelertak on the list.
Nik trying to pronouonce Norwegian made my day xD
Kaunis Kuolematon is awesome and unique. And so is Insomnium. I'm sensing a trend here, he liked the Finnish bands...
6:09 i was so expecting the most gutteral vocals ive ever heard at the drop
Just imagine having nickelback as the top pick 💀. That would be hilarious
I actually listened to Empire State Bastard’s (second song) catalog. They just released their first album last week and honestly I love it.
The Revnoir single is a fucking banger
Im actually surprised you dont know Soen, great prog metal band. Everything off Cognitive is straight up golden.
New Taake is fucking great, they're an essential black metal band.
Never Been-Betzefer
Draining Me-Worst
Memento Mori-Lamb of God
Time Waits For No Slave-Napalm Death
Demons-Rising Insane
Death Or Jail-Sick of if All
My Mother Told Me-Saltatio Mortis
Amber-Stick to Your Guns
we need to manipulate the system and get Niks music there because his shit is perfect.
The question is... how?
I checked it out and about 90% of the songs were actually some genre of metal, Nik's collab with Alex Terrible was also there... So i don't know what cracked up version of spotify nik's using cause it ain't like mine. (A lot of it was kinda weird, and bad but still some sort of metal, fortunately or otherwise.)
@@frefels2628 He's using the Canadian version obviously that's what that's what its all aboot
That song Currents accvsed is amazing
so sad he skipped nervosa
Disrespecting Taake. For shame. To be fair though, Taake's peak was their first three albums in the 90s, but Taake in 2023 is still better than everything on that list.
My man's got 1 million!! Been watching you for years now and love how you've grown but haven't changed!!
congrats for 1 mil more its cool to see youtubers like you to hit million
Curses is a local band from around where I live. I played a show with them in my old band. Super chill guys!
Love your videos. I do enjoy hearing new bands. I actually do enjoy the list. I’m old. How do I find your playlist????
I do enjoy Polaris but the chorus a bit like teen pop. While I’m still waiting for Barbie Dua Lipa full cover 😂 Thanks for your videos Nik
I've always hated Spotify. Chiefly, I hate how you can spend hours curating an epic playlist and then they randomly remove tracks leaving weird phantom holes all over. Also I hate how little they pay the artists who are their bread and butter. I know it's kinda caveman but I mostly still buy either MP3's or even physical CD's (some Japanese music is hard to buy digitally) so I always have the music I want on hand even if I magically find myself somewhere with no signal.
Same. Streaming is shit. Own your media.
@@morenauer Fuck yeah, dude
Overall as a small band, even though Spotify pays the least per stream, since it's the most popular platform, we actually make our most money from it :/
That's right. In Japan, fans still buy CDs. I would like to collect the music of my favorite bands on CD or record.
Love your content nik
I love how the end of the video you mentioned a Timmy (not the TIMMY!, of course), but it ended up like a Towelie impression lol
so "denne forblaaste Ruin av en Bro" is norwegian. i can't really translate it but the way you pronounced it had me dying 😂
This "foreblown" ruin of a bridge
@@Iceidicethe blasted ruin of a bridge
Bro's not giving any song a chance
Stitched up heart on there!! Amazing band
I love how the metal stank just falls over your face like a veil. 😂
Thanks for the END shoutout, gotta check their new stuff out
Good to see Shokran on there. Such a great band they deserve so much.
Save Us are sooooo good tho for such a new band
blanket is actually pretty good, pretty much deftones influenced, they did a killer knife prty cover and they have a sweet song with Kadeem France of LOATHE
😂OMG, Nik, your face! Loyal to the core. Love your reactions.❤
Congrats on 1 million
I never thought I’d feel this way but I’ve been binging 2010s metal. Simpler times
I saw my line of empty water bottles and remembered watching this dude in like 2015 who always had water bottles in his videos. So happy to see you have 1m subscribers now!!
2:46 is funny because I recently grabbed Skyrim on sale from Steam and didn't see this joke coming.
The only band on this that I’ve actually heard was Taake and that’s because of the Banjo song.
I doubt you see this Nic, but Parti! is a band formed by the Lead Guitarist of SycAmour, one of my favorite 2010 bands.
Insomnium never disappoints
Blanket are from my hometown and I know them personally. Super cool to see them get a quick feature here
A underground metal band to check out is Chaplain from Coventry UK.. and the song Utopia.
My All New Metal list today (so one day later) on Spotify is nearly completely different, with Sylosis, Cryptopsy, StaticX, Motionless in White, Dying Fetus, Conquer Divide, so pretty good (yes imho at least) for Spotify, then goes downhill, Prong's the Descent is solidly thrashy, then THERE IS OR VERY OWN NIK with Alex Terrible on Obscurity, then downhill again with mostly prog rock, emo stuff and a few solid ones sprinkled in betwen. No Polaris tho. All in all though it's a little better I think. Are those genre-based playlist that are not 'curated for you' algorythmically still randomised between users? Cause I have almost entirely different playlist.
Yo Nik, would you react to Serbian metal one day? We have a really good underground scene, with a lot of cool/funny stuff.
Didn't expect Deadspace (Australia) there but I'm also not a spotify person. Almost saw them live near my hometown (Germany) in 2020 but then something happened.
3:13 that's EscapeTheFate-Core, my dude.
Finding Kaunis Kuolematon through this was amazing
thanks for checking it out tho
Saw Empire State Bastard at download this year. Great show, i didn't know who thry were prior
Hollow Front has been banging since their first ever show in a lil bar that doesnt even exist anymore somewhere here in MI, the whole band was chill dudes, the band is in ancinteresting place currently but they plan to continue dropping music!
I discovered them through this video. Great band so far.
4:27 I’m just saying that that song has an insane breakdown at the end
There was some bangars here. I really really dig Bang Bang by revnoir. And a few others that I added. I have a feeling this playlist, like many others, are just "Here is all things slightly considered metal that was released recently" which can be fine.
Sorry - you can't just blow past the new Resolve, Ten56 and Paleface collab like that! That's actually a banger 🤘🤘🤘
The fact that Taake is so damn old black metal like Immortal and it is listed in an All New Metal list just baffles me. Maybe this list is just for "new metal songs" and not for "new metal bands"? I don't know. But then again: It's still metal. Maybe not for everyone but what can I say. I hear 1914, Lorna Shore, Revenge and some other mixed stuff so... yeah. You do you.
Off to add Accvsed to my playlist 😊😊
Insomnium never miss. Big W for the band
I’m forced to have Apple Music and their Breaking Metal playlist has a few of the better ones from here. They love to load up the ‘core songs on theirs, alongside a lot of power metal haha. Heard the Revnoir song on it and it’s excellent
Distance and Currents were actually bangers, added em to my playlist lol
I am glad that at least the new songs from Insomnium and Kvelertak were on that list. Both great Bands.
Nik if you liked Teleprompter Dreams by Fiends I’d encourage you to check out other songs of theirs. Especially a lot of tracks off of „Me Time“
I be finding all kinds of stuff all the time SOMETIMES on their and yeah you've got your really good juicy bands that you might like a lot then the just same if not different mega GARBO bands out there.
As a metal lover, who makes ambient music podcasts, I've been subbed to you for many years.
I haven't listened to that new Escape The Fate album yet but I will say Cheers To Goodbye ft. Spencer Charnas was an amazing song and I'm only slightly biased because Ice Nine Kills is my favorite band
Empire state bastard is the vocalist of biffy clyro side project
Taake is actually pretty good, I’ve listened to some of their stuff and it’s not bad!
In these playlists there's usually two or three that's my thing and it's not always standard roars because a lot sounds so similar
Kaunis kuolematon (finnish for beautiful immortal) is cool finnish melodeath. The song is I think fromnnew album.
ooooh really nice seeing Blanket here!
I would be trying to find some more jazz fusion bands or something like that and with out fail dancers to a discordant system, fermented offal discharge, and tommy the cat were always in the first five songs
What do you expect from Spotify? 😂
I was browsing technical death metal and apparently Spotify thinks that SOAD and slipknot are technical death metal
@@jackyboi8832Spotify always puts Metal in my Rock and Punk Mix
your playlist is was more GOATED Fr
LOOOL I listened to Distance - Save Us like 3 vids ago
Older Days by Resolve, Ten56, and Paleface Swiss was the only song i knew on this lol
