Unpopular opinion: A lot of this “new sound” is thanks to Gravity. Without the elements of Gravity’s atmosphere, we wouldn’t have this new dark twisted sound. I’m so glad BFMV came back swinging after all the feedback about Gravity
This song sounds a lot like Fever and Venom tbh. I really like this more than Parasite (2nd single), but I definitely like Knives more. Still excited for the self titled since BFMV was one of the bands that got me into Metalcore
This shapes up to be either a bland boring heavy album or something actually pretty cool and somewhat close to their roots. Ngl, my expectations are not that high, but one could hope.
Have to admit that I really, really miss the riffs that they used to do, albums like The Poison, SAF and Venom had some fantastic riffs, this new album while sound heavy and pretty decent so far also sound really simple, like no elaborated riffs or some different music structure and from the three singles only this one has a solo. I really love BFMV, but I think this album will be just good, nothing really memorable
I will agree with you, because despite me liking this song, I really don't have high expectations for this album. A man can hope, but that's about as much as we can do...
Agreed, they're not bad tracks but compared to their first 3 records the riffs and choruses pale in comparison, but they used to be one of the best at it so it's hard to keep that up sometimes I suppose
They’ve used less auto tune than any other album this time around and Matt has recently learned a new screaming technique, absolutely buzzing for the new album 🔥
The soft part makes it hit harder when the riff comes in. Hints of Pantera in the groove and Maiden in the chorus part towards the end going into the lead . BFMV is Reborn! The Heavy is here !
I guess I'm not gonna be too popular with my opinion in this comment section, but I think Gravity was pretty good. Different for sure, but not bad. My only complaint is Padge didn't get one solo on the album. Not one. Other than that Gravity kinda grew on me after a few listens.
I don’t understand the hate on Parasite.. It’s the only one so far that’s really technical & heavy as fuck! I love it. And so do a lot of other long time fans. It’s just more Thrashy than the other two singles! Which in my eyes isn’t a bad thing at all..
while i would have liked to hear "some" more instruments behind the verses,. even if just some more guitare tunes quietly in the background, i can nevertheless say this song reminds me so much of the good old days Bullet had and with those 3 singles im more then just hyped for the album They are back, harder then ever and im lovin it
Fun Fact...Hand Of Blood was also the First Song of a famous German UA-camr He hears from BfmV ...and He Chose to Take it as his UA-cam Name HandOfBlood and guess what ? You know him ... From where ? Nothing less then the MC Thunder Videos from Eskimo Callboy...He is the Main Actor there 😂
I love all the singles for this upcoming album. Love this sound. Now, I only disagree, with your opinion on the previous album 😂 I thought Letting You Go was one of the better songs, but maybe it's cause it's so catchy. Idk, I liked it. The only song I skip on that album is the title track, Gravity 😅 But like AA & BMTH, they experimented a different sound, & it wasn't bad. But also like those bands, they can come back & make songs like this. Either way, love these bands, love this song, & I love your reactions🤘🏼
My only negative take is that there wasn't like crazy riffs, like the ones on the Posion album, or very dynamic vocals, either cleans or harsh, but man, I love fat riffs and the pace of the drums worked well. Overall, I liked the song
All three released singles are heavy and Banger. But to be honest, it wasn't enough for me. Maybe the chorus didn't give a strong impression. And Matt is a good vocalist who can sing both Unclean and Clean. Jamie, too, but I think this song has so many uncleans that it reduces their strengths. We have wanted song like Don't Need You or a heavier version of Venom, but it still seems different from our wishes.
@@deathippygaming8016 Yeah, I think they have a big decision. That song is banger and heavy enough. But as a fan of them since 2015, it's just not enough for me.
@@nocallerid3634 I just said my opinion as a fan, and of course I respect their decision to do what they want, but it's not wrong to express personal opinions on the song, right?
Great analysis and reaction! Knives is still my favorite but I think after a few more listens, Shatter should grow on me and overtake it. Parasite is very forgettable and bleh in my opinion. New album should be interesting and can't wait to see how it turns out with the direction they're going in!
I don’t understand the hate on Parasite.. It’s the only one so far that’s really technical & heavy as fuck! I love it. And so do a lot of other long time fans. It’s just more Thrashy than the other two singles! Which in my eyes isn’t a bad thing at all..
I've seen several people commenting or complaining online that the song isn't diverse or have enough changes. If I wrote those pre-chorus and chorus riffs I would ride those damn things from the start till the end of the song. If you make too many changes in a song that has an amazing, heavy riff like that you can easily ruin it by make constant changes. Just my opinion.
I liked gravity (unpopular opinion) for its atmospheric elements. I feel the new singles are good because of this. Sure they went heavy, but the atmospheric stuff in the back is what make it the new sound slap.
Heavy and you got a Solo finally, i always enjoy their solo.. i was sad when they stop doing theses kickass Solo But Parasite is still My favorite song from BFMV
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 I think it’s just a little bit repetitive, a little more diversity would put it a little higher. I also think people love this cause generally Gravity was a very weak record so there were low standards lol. Ngl i kinda like Gravity tho lol
Honestly, I don't care sometimes if something sounds mainstream, melo, vanilla, basic, generic, standard, normal, cookie cutter as long as it makes my ear holes filled with things that make my head bang.
@@rowanplaysbass Yeah man, great point. Hey BTW I just started my reaction channel and I'll have a reaction for this up when I'm home. I'll be honest though, didn't have much to say about it.
I think this song takes a lot from Parkway Drive - Crushed, even structurally, intro and big similar riff, than drop out verses, than chorus with that riff, but Parkway sound much more epic and whole idk why. And overall all the new songs give me strange feelings, yes they are heavy, and some parts are headbangable, but thats not enough, this is the type of heavy i heard a million times and done better by other bands and BFMV just dont sound like themselves, they just try to be heavy in the sake of being heavy, because maybe the lable told them to be
I'm glad people are enjoying the songs but they aren't cutting it for me. Full disclosure: I'm a fan since I was a kid of 6 years. This band is the reason I picked up my guitar (best thing I ever did) I mean Knives was a refreshment, Parasite had it's moment but nothing really makes me play it again, Shatter is heavy and all yet so uninteresting to me and instantly realized I heard something similair in Absolute Power by Parkway Drive. I felt like they played it safe with the heaviness, idk my opinion. I miss catchy choruses and unique yet familiar leads. And Matt's vox ofc.
I agree. It's conflicting as it's great they're going down the 'heavier' path again, though comparing the songwriting so far to the songs - or even first 3 singles - from Venom (their most recent comparable album), it just falls short for me. Haven't heard the whole record yet so trying to reserve judgement, but I think Venom struck a perfect balance with the riffs, interplay of the harsh vocals & cleans, melodies etc. The riffs, choruses and structure here feel kinda bland, which is a shame. I think maybe it's the lack of those hooks/melody that's missing? I dunno. We'll see what the album is saying when it comes out.
The biggest takeaway I've had from the 3 singles is that Matt and Padge have downtuned their guitars to Drop B as opposed do drop C or D standard in the past.Thats why the riffs sound chunkier

Getting some heavy ParkwayDrive vibes off this tbh
This song sounds a lot like Fever and Venom tbh. I really like this more than Parasite (2nd single), but I definitely like Knives more. Still excited for the self titled since BFMV was one of the bands that got me into Metalcore
This shapes up to be either a bland boring heavy album or something actually pretty cool and somewhat close to their roots. Ngl, my expectations are not that high, but one could hope.
Yeah I agree and BFMV, a7x and three days grace got me into metal and rock
A lot of Parkway Drive vibes, from the slow heavy riff, group vocals, melodic solo, and that guitar outro. Metalcore 🤘
100% this song riff and structure is almost exactly the same as Absolute Power by PWD
Have to admit that I really, really miss the riffs that they used to do, albums like The Poison, SAF and Venom had some fantastic riffs, this new album while sound heavy and pretty decent so far also sound really simple, like no elaborated riffs or some different music structure and from the three singles only this one has a solo.

I will agree with you, because despite me liking this song, I really don't have high expectations for this album. A man can hope, but that's about as much as we can do...
Fever had alot of killer riffs and solo's to.
Parasite had a solo
Agreed, they're not bad tracks but compared to their first 3 records the riffs and choruses pale in comparison, but they used to be one of the best at it so it's hard to keep that up sometimes I suppose
to me this kind of sound like ''fake heavy''
They’ve used less auto tune than any other album this time around and Matt has recently learned a new screaming technique, absolutely buzzing for the new album 🔥
The soft part makes it hit harder when the riff comes in. Hints of Pantera in the groove and Maiden in the chorus part towards the end going into the lead . BFMV is Reborn! The Heavy is here !
Your reaction was my reaction.
This fucking slaps, and it is the best single so far.
I surely do prefer Scream Aim Fire and The Poison but this is not bad at all. It surely is a huge improvment over Gravity.
I guess I'm not gonna be too popular with my opinion in this comment section, but I think Gravity was pretty good. Different for sure, but not bad. My only complaint is Padge didn't get one solo on the album. Not one. Other than that Gravity kinda grew on me after a few listens.

Yep, totally agree. Parasite is an absolute banger and one of my favorite Bullet songs to date
@@davidboar6362 Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one with good taste. Lol
@@davidboar6362 I subbed to you just for that! Haha
@@nocallerid3634 haha thank you, subbed to you as well
Yes. Shatter to me is the weakest one so far. Parasite was way better than Knives. Still, so far the tracks we have are way above Venom and Gravity.
It's crazy to think I've been watching you from the try not to headband challenge days before the reactions and now your almost at 60k. Congrats man
Thank you man :)
Reminds me "Parkway Drive - Absolute Power". But i like it.
while i would have liked to hear "some" more instruments behind the verses,. even if just some more guitare tunes quietly in the background, i can nevertheless say this song reminds me so much of the good old days Bullet had and with those 3 singles im more then just hyped for the album

For this song, bullet has choose VIOLENCE
This almooosssttt sounds a bit like Machine Head or am I going crazy
*Which song was better - Shatter or Knives?*
I like Knives more but this is close behind
No love for Parasite? Bruh.
Definitely Knives but both > Parasite
@@Kancerru yeah same I love BFMV but Parasite is kind of boring imo
Knives

That riff reminds me a lot of Halo by Machine Head
Oh hell yeah, I can hear Machine Head in this one!
A bit of ten ton hammer in the vocals too
My only negative take is that there wasn't like crazy riffs, like the ones on the Posion album, or very dynamic vocals, either cleans or harsh, but man, I love fat riffs and the pace of the drums worked well. Overall, I liked the song
Those chuggy chugs in the main riff are so addicting!
Man, listen "Starset - The Breach" :)

Maybe it's because they are doing what they want to do and not bowing down to people
@@deathippygaming8016 Yeah, I think they have a big decision. That song is banger and heavy enough. But as a fan of them since 2015, it's just not enough for me.
Because you people are never satisfied with anything, and they should just do what they want instead of listening to crybaby ass fans!

*headbangs uncontrollably*
*puts this into try not to headbang challenge 2021*
new song "Roots Below" from As I Lay Dying, must check it out! absolute banger
I swear if you put this on a try not to headbang video I’ll hate you 😂

You're gonna have to make a 20 minute try not to headbang challenge this year. So many bangers in 2021🤘
Cant believe you slept on parasyte, that song slaps hard
Parasite grew on me and I really like the clean chorus in the second half
I liked gravity (unpopular opinion) for its atmospheric elements. I feel the new singles are good because of this. Sure they went heavy, but the atmospheric stuff in the back is what make it the new sound slap.
Letting you go was fire get outta here lol
sound like parkway drive's crushed
Interesting parallel! Damn I miss Parkway...
@@bogdanhxc good masterpieces aways sounds well for long times :)
the riffs are thicc
I'm always finding good songs on this channel. I wasn't a fan of the current Valentine songs, but this one is good. Thanks for sharing :)
Parasite 🦠 is forgettable, the other two are amazing
Very proud of Matt it's 🔥
That dude in the thumbnail looks a lot like cj from thy art is murder lmao
Lol you're not wrong
My name's Elvin too.
@@LvinTV YOOOOOOO
WHAT'S UP
WELCOME
Turnstile- GLOW ON!!!!!
I like the way they're going. Still miss the heavy riffage from early records though. But good to see them go back to heavy again!
Heavy and you got a Solo finally, i always enjoy their solo.. i was sad when they stop doing theses kickass Solo
But Parasite is still My favorite song from BFMV
could you react to odeon? they're a brazilian band that has some really nice songs. I'd enjoy seeing a react to their song gasoline or morphine
Main riff sounds a bit like Parkway Drive - Crushed, just down a step
I have to say I didn't expect to be listening to Absolute Power by Parkway Drive when I saw the title of this video
Is it just me or does the main riff sounds like the riff from Sonne by Rammstein?
Sounds more like Octanecore to me lol
Yeah, not sure why everyone loves this one that much lol

That intro riff is so chunky, it’s amazing. This is what Bullet needed.
DAMN this one fucking SLAPS
I cannot wait to see this song live at some point
it’s that snappy ass snare and the bass along with the thicc ass guitars just *chef’s kiss*
Think it sounds better on 1.25x speed
Ahhh, Bogdan, we got the same Slayer shirt, haha. 🤘🏼
I heard that his voice is weird because of some surgery, not sure though
Invent Animate just releasing the new song yesterday in case you missed it
I was not fucking ready for that intro
React to parasite again pls 😂😂😂
