    *25. Paleface Swiss "Please End Me" is the actual name of the song!
    But what is your breakdown of the year?

      Invent Animate - False Meridian for the emotional impact, but Knocked Loose definitely deserves 1st place.

    Deep in the willow and everything is quiet now should both be #1 haha. Not only are both songs meant to be listened to back to back, but both breakdowns are absolutely perfect, especially in the context of the rest of the song. Knocked loose killed it this year 🤘🏻

    When talking about Spiritbox being nominated for a Grammy, in terms of metal bands being nominated, people seem to forget that August Burns Red was nominated for the song Identity, and for Invisible Enemy.
    Can't really argue with this list. Knocked Loose has been killing it

    Some songs I’d personally add:
    Kublai Khan - Theory of Mind
    Larcenia Roe - Unhinged
    Viscera - Carcinogenesis
    Tesseract - Legion
    Resolve - Older Days
    Rivers of Nihil - Hellbirds

    Larcenia Roe wrote some disgusting breakdowns tho

    • @METALBIRB
      @METALBIRB  5 місяців тому +5

      If it was most disgusting or filthiest breakdowns Larcenia Roe would have been in Top 3 for sure. Personally I didn't go crazy over the over the top disgusting, shock factor breakdowns this year. But for others who want that, they're killing it.

  • @thatguyhanzo3468
    @thatguyhanzo3468 5 місяців тому +2

    The first breakdown in The Orphan Breed by Allt is EASILY my number 1, one of the few things i go back 30 seconds in a song to hear over and over again
    Or, if it counts, Atena - Leave, but its not quite a breakdown as much as just a really cool buildup to the chorus.

  • @nico_arg4872
    @nico_arg4872 5 місяців тому +3

    It speaks to the quality of the releases that I knew Superbloom and Heavener would be included but I had different songs in mind.
    Nexus - Silent Planet
    The lyric callbacks to Everything Was Sound, the “Plant the tree of life inside the heart of the machine” callout, the unique alien ass guitar tone, and the fact it DOESN’T predictably lead back to the chorus (my breakdown pet peeve). Chef’s kiss
    Immolation of Night - Invent Animate
    That guitar tone is so gnarly I can never just listen to this breakdown once. I don’t have analysis for this one, I’m just a Silent Planet simp

    Some of mine in a needlessly long comment. I know I’m stretching this to the most basic version of “breakdown” because a lot of these won’t be death/metalcore.
    SMILE - Larcenia Roe
    Reek - Memorrhage
    Vanishing Figure - Sailing Before the Wind
    Elysiism - Wormhole
    Destroyer of Dreams - Thy Art is Murder
    Likeness of Creator - Infestantibus
    Really stretching this one because the original is 7 years old but there was a remaster this year and I’ll do anything to talk about this album.
    Westward Bound, Pt. 2, The Pilgrim’s Progress - Slice the Cake
    Returning immediately to add:
    Shanghai - Darko US
    Returning again because bands keep dropping last second.
    Namesake - Catsclaw
