Was very surprised to see this come up! I'm not the biggest listener of Rishloo but I first heard of them about 10 years ago. I would definitely say they're obscure, I only know 2 other people that know about them. Glad to see you enjoyed this, took me down memory lane for sure!
So excited to see this band on your channel, and even more excited to see just how much you guys enjoyed it. For me this song has some great moments but I find their newest album to be their masterpiece. There's not a single moment in it that lacks brilliance. It's one that I just always have to listen to straight through start to finish. Unfortunately I don't know enough to enlighten you about the other details such as what a feathergun is lol. I'm as clueless as you, I just love progressive, unique music.
I always thought Feathergun was mass-media that powers that be use to brainwash people, make people to believe that others are their enemies, create conflicts and provoke fights. Feathergun is not an actual gun, but it becomes a gun by proxy. But I might be wrong.
A feather gun is a cheap shit gun you wouldn't be using unless you have no other options. Making it a single word is intentional, but its a double entendre, which makes it all the more curious
Now this I did not expect...Rishloo are an awesome, and sorely underrated band, hope you get to more of their stuff. This whole album is amazing, but Turning Sheep into Goats and Keyhole in the Sky are my personal favourites...just sayin'... :P
Thank you for reacting to this and I’m glad you enjoyed the song! Unfortunately I don’t know what a feather gun is either lol I’m just glad you got to this band because I rarely see them being talked about and they’re an amazing band. This is from their third album which is titled feathergun. I suggest dark charade, freaks and animals, or lovely room to listen to next. Each of these songs are from different albums
Biography Years Active 2003 - present (21 years) Founded In Seattle, King County, Washington, United States Members David Gillett Andrew Mailloux - Vocals Dave Gillett - Guitar Sean Rydquist - Bass Jesse Smith - Drums Formed in late 2002, Seattle's Rishloo continue to gain wide-spread recognition for their dynamic sound, thought-provoking lyrics and intense live performance. Often compared to bands like Dredg, The Mars Volta, Tool, and Fair to Midland, Rishloo strives to push the envelope of psychedelic, progressive art-rock, drawing inspiration from classic artists like The Beatles, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd, while incorporating the modern experimentation and emotional depth of artists such as Tori Amos, Deftones, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, and more. In February 2012 the band announced that Andrew, the vocalist, decided to leave the band, this being the unexpected end of Rishloo. The remaining members briefly formed the band The Ghost Apparatus, until late in 2013 when Andrew and the band rejoined forces. On October 10th 2013 the band announced that they had decided to move forward making music as Rishloo. Continuing as they have since their inception as an entirely independent venture, Rishloo have sold 5,500+ units of their debut album, Terras Fames (2004) and 9,500+ units of their sophomore effort, Eidolon (2007) while attracting tens of thousands of fans online from around the globe. Interest in the band continues to grow exponentially on sites such as Myspace, Facebook, UA-cam, ReverbNation, and Last.FM. With a lot of hard work and much appreciated help from their fans, Rishloo continue to travel and perform whenever possible throughout the U.S. and parts of Canada. In the course of their adventures, they have been privileged to share the stage with artists like Karnivool, Papa Roach, Fair to Midland, Ashes Divide, Sevendust, Trapt, Strata, and Judas Priest. The band's latest effort, Living as Ghosts with Buildings as Teeth, was released December 2014.

Finally Rishloooooooooooooooooooo!!! Thank you guys!! They're a class in itself, although they're often compared to Tool. Four albums published by themselves, no record label! "Andrew Mailloux is a singer, one of the best in my opinion. 'Just a ride", 'The great rain beetle', 'Landmines', 'Keyhole In The Sky', 'Diamond Eyes' could be some of songs to start with.
All of their music is phenomenal: Landmines, Dark Charade, Scissorlips, just a ride are all phenomenal but so is every song! "Salutations" is driven heavily by the lyrics and I think you guys would enjoy it as a very chill lo-fi song in their roster
when it comes to rishloo my favorites are "scisorlips" from the same album and also "just a ride" from living as ghosts but most of their stuff is phenomenal, you cant really go wrong
Song suggestions: Ne Obliviscaris - Painters of the Tempest. Another song from the same band, And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope. These are both masterpieces, and it seems nice to see rap-oriented people listen to listen to progressive metal. Opens up both of our minds to see different reactions.
Soooo glad people are still checking these guys out. This would be there second to most recent album. They are definitely a progressive rock group. Living as Ghosts With Buildings as Teeth is their newest album. All of their work is quality. They are definitely from the US. Check out songs like Weevil Bride and The Great Rain Beetle if you wanna journey down their progressive sound. Songs like Scissorlips are great for something a little more accessible. Thanks for listening to one of my favorite bands! Subbed.
Sweet!! So awesome to see you guys get into Rishloo, a seriously underrated band. Lovely Room, Pandora, Alchemy Alice, Keyhole In The Sky and Diamond Eyes are some top picks definitely worth your time! 😊 P.s. Don't let the title fool you, "Lovely Room" is one of the bands heaviest songs and my personal favorite.
Finally, some Rishloo!!! What a great choice guys!!! They are sick!!! They are no Tool or Karnivool, but they kick ass!!!!!!!!!! What kind of music could it be? Hahaaaa. You know now.
Rishloo is a fucking blast to listen to, feathergun in the garden of the sun and living as ghosts with buildings as teeth are heavy hitters album wise. Gotta recommend the great rain beetle and omega as 2 songs to try.
Thanks for this Lamar!🤘 Hollywood & Smokey entering a new rabbit hole. Rishloo have said the word is the feeling the music gives you. Two more great songs is "Keyhole in the sky" & Diamond Eyes, I Love watching you both be so Entertained by the music.🎶🙌🎶 Such an Amazing band. Man there are so many bands. It's crazy the amount I alone have came across.🤘🎶May the music never stop! I believe Killing "with feather guns" is about war and how people are killing with the false justification of a religion rather than for the safety of humanity. Lot's to decipher within these lyrics.
I discovered these guys two years ago now and they kick ass!!!! I'm SHOCKED to see them on here, I DON'T know a soul who heard of them before I introduced them to Rishloo, and they generally introduce me to these bands! lol
Yes! Glad you guys are checking out rishloo. They have a great similarity to tool. Let's goooooo! My personal favorites are freaks and animals, landmines, pandora, alchemy alice,systematomatic, narcissist code, but anything by them is good.
I've just been watching through your music reactions (mostly tool) and saw this song. Rishloo is an amazing band. I'm glad you guys covered this when pretty much nobody else has. I also noticed that you haven't covered another of their songs in the last year after being so hyped for it. If you're looking for something else to do by them, I would say "diamond eyes" or "freaks and animals". I'd love to hear you cover something else by them. Keep up the sweet reactions and exploring new music.
I've copy/pasted some Rishloo info for you guys: Rishloo are a fantastic and utterly underrated modern progressive band from Seattle. They first came on the scene in the year 2002. They mix pounding rhythmic buildups and vocally led alternative rock styles with progressive attitudes, effects laden guitar sections and virtuosic musical displays, all in a concise and grand manner coupled with particularly intelligent and evocative lyrics. The band are perhaps most famous for Tool and A Perfect Circle comparisons, but there is a lot more to the band than simply homage to the unique and oft imitated talents of Maynard James Keenan, Adam Jones, Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey (although if you listen carefully, it is easy to pick up on just that; for each member and their specific tones and styles, especially because Rishloo feature rhythmic and emotive vocals that use of lot of long sustained shouts over musical transitions.) While Rishloo write artistic and creative music suited to fans of progressive rock, the music falls more on the commercial and listenable alternative rock end of the prog spectrum than on the dense, challenging and difficult end. There aren’t twenty-minute songs played at 30bpm full of drills, grotesque film samples and dissonant organs; just intelligent and interesting music written and performed by very talented individuals. Being an indie band, they are not signed with any label and every tour or release is self financed. Band members about their music: Sometimes we could go with 'we're experimental, or psychedelic progressive rock' and people would frown and ask what does that mean. And then maybe it comes easier to bring up the names of bands we grew up with, like Mars Volta, or Tool that we're quite often compared to. We take a lot of inspiration from older bands like Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, bands that we grew up with and we believe it's easier to find their influences in what we're doing. What's the history of band's name? Actually, it's a made up word. We wanted to have something that wasn't someone else's. We wanted to be easy searchable and have an impact when you hear it. We also wanted to describe the idea of inspiration. We wanted that word to be defined by that so we created a word that defined the inspiration within. It apparently doesn't mean anything in any language.

@@scrabs9 yeah they are from Texas! I’m jealous that you got to see them! They don’t make music anymore but the 2 albums they did put out are amazing. So different and unique. That’s sick that you got to see them!
@@thecakeplays they put out four albums, & though I don't care for the first one (Carbon Copy Silver Linings), their second, Inter.Funda.Stifle is amazing. It has earlier versions of some of the same songs as on Fables...but the other songs? Sheer bliss. Granny Niblo, Abigail, & especially Orphan Anthem 86 are amazing, with unforgettable melodies. And while Fables... was great, their last, Arrows & Anchors, was EPIC.
Glad to see so many Rishloo fans new or old. I’d like to suggest Fair to Midland if y’all haven’t done one already. Either “Kyla Cries Cologne” or “Walls of Jericho” ooor “A Wolf Descends Upon the Spanish Sahara” I’m not on your Patreon, so I don’t have as much sway as Lamar did. Still worthwhile for anyone else that hasn’t heard of them.
Fiad to Midland is forever my favorite band...Orphan Anthem 86 may not be as popular, but it's a worm that burrows into your brain & never let's you forget the melodies...same with Musical Chairs, & Uh Oh features a powerful vocal performance fr. Darroh. Say When is an amazing finale for an album. Rishloo bears an amazing similarity to FTM, mostly bec. of the similarities btwn singers. I started listening to Rishloo when I realized there wd be no new music from FTM ever...so began looking for similar bands.
Some Rishloo facts from a Rishloo fan: the band is from Seattle; the artwork is by Rishloo guitarist David Gillet; they are entirely self produced and published (I ordered merch and my email correspondence was with a band member); they NEVER explain their lyrics, preferring to leave that up to the listener; EVERY song on their last 2 (arguably 3) albums is this caliber, though Feathergun is their most popular.
My favorite interpretation of this song is the garden of the sun is a place where you can't hide yourself. Your good, your bad, your misgivings and evil deeds. It's all in the open, in front of you. The "war" is with yourself, the evil you have to confront when placed in the garden of the sun - a place indifferent to everything but the truth.
EXCELLENT review. They broke up for a while because the singer dove into being self-critical and didn't think he was good enough. Can you believe that. there's only two other singers that I've heard that can hold a sustained note as long as this dude. Steve Perry Ann Wilson. If you ever want to do those songs, the Steve Perry is from a group called Journey and the name of the song is the Winds of March. IDK if your audience would appreciate those old songs but I have a wide experience of different genres so I'm just letting you know.
Rishloo is their debut album. In my opinion after covering several songs I would say downhill is my favorite anyway. Since you don't know me, I'm giving you my opinion on what I've learned. I do my best not to speak in absolutes. For the Heart long Sustained note, Dream of the Archer. I think the difference between Steve, Ann and the rishloo lead singer is the ladder two, can do a sustained note, with the full-blown power voice. No only does Ann use her power voice she raises her volume to the end of the note which is absolutely phenomenal, I think. You have to give Steve props he had a five-and-a-half Octave voice. Sorry these are so long I hope it's not annoying.
Next step is anything coming from their Living as Ghosts with Buildings as Teeth album. I love the overall music, but lyrics from Salutations are just awesome.
I used to joke that the vocalist sounds as if Maynard and Freddie Mercury had a child.
totally agree
No but he's comparable to mjk
Freddie murcery ......you must be kidding
"Downhill" is the masterpiece of this album, for me at least. "Just a ride" is a great song from another album, but the whole band is superb!
Totally agree!!!
The whole album is a masterpiece. I think I like Diamond Eyes more than Downhill, but I agree that Just a Ride is probably the best one on LaGWBaT
Get a Fall of Troy like vibe
Absolutely! Dark Charade and Landmine's are a must listen.
I really loved great rain beatle
God, this is really the first time I've seen a reaction to this great group. You are on the right track!
respect from Russia
Rishloo - just a ride
Im glad to see you react to this, one of the most underrated rock bands of today!!
I remember hearing the climax to the Just a Ride in the credits of a Vsauce2 video and being in love ever since.
Was very surprised to see this come up! I'm not the biggest listener of Rishloo but I first heard of them about 10 years ago. I would definitely say they're obscure, I only know 2 other people that know about them. Glad to see you enjoyed this, took me down memory lane for sure!
Never heard this band before but I'm definitely going to check them out. Kick ass song!! 🤘❤
Same, Christy!

AGREED!!👍🙂
I always thought Feathergun was mass-media that powers that be use to brainwash people, make people to believe that others are their enemies, create conflicts and provoke fights. Feathergun is not an actual gun, but it becomes a gun by proxy. But I might be wrong.
A feather gun Hurts emotions not physically
It's a metaphor for emotional and psychological abuse.
Makes sense
A feather gun is a cheap shit gun you wouldn't be using unless you have no other options.
Making it a single word is intentional, but its a double entendre, which makes it all the more curious
Now this I did not expect...Rishloo are an awesome, and sorely underrated band, hope you get to more of their stuff. This whole album is amazing, but Turning Sheep into Goats and Keyhole in the Sky are my personal favourites...just sayin'... :P
For the love of god do more rishloo. You won’t be sorry. Every song on every album is amazing.
I love Rishloo! Thanks for suggesting this one Lamar!

RISHLOO!! Woohoo! They have so many great songs. Feathergun is probably the best introductory song for them.

Arguably the most underrated band of all time.
Knew you guys would love rishloo from seeing you do tool reactions
Featherguns hurt..... no physically but emotionally. 😔

Oh my I LOVE Rishloo. You have too try their last album Living as ghost.... it's near perfect!!
Near?!
@@guywhoisnotbob Nobody's perfect 🤗 lol
@@HurtHead true, but also maybe imperfection is made up and doesn't really exist
Rishloo is a great underrated prog band! gotta check out Harlequin, Landmines, Dead Rope Machine, or Scissorlips.
woah, seems like I unlocked new band for myself, thank you dudes
Amazing band right?
@@Hollywood6IX yeah)
Psychedelic prog! I'll have to hear more of this band

Downhill and Diamond Eyes great work from them
Salutations is another good one from Rishloo. Great rain Beatle too.
They kind of remind me of Tool. Love the singer, his voice is strong.
I happen to listen to a lot of rishloo and tool and I can say the biggest comparison between the two is a lack of 4/4

Terras Fames is such a good album. I’d love to hear them re-record it with how far they’ve come.
Check out "Scissorlips" by them next.
Yes finally.. thankyou
Plz do The great rain beatle next.
Plz do, The great rain beatle next
I have suggested them in the comments of Tool reacts.
Finally, some Rishloo!!!
What a great choice guys!!!
They are sick!!!
They are no Tool or Karnivool, but they kick ass!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of music could it be?
Hahaaaa.
You know now.

Fucking love this song. Cant find reactions to this anywhere so major props to doing this! Such a great vocalist.
I wish they were still making music and touring. Life has caught up. Amazing people and excellent musicians. I miss them
feathergun = passive aggression
Remember Captain Feathersword? The pirate's not so scary when you realize their weapon only tickles.
Woods of Ypres i was buried in mt pleasant cemetery
Not heard these before, really good. Also, check out The Mars Volta!
Highly recommend one of these Rishloo songs;
-The Great Rain Beatle
-Freaks & Animals
-Dark Charade
-Just A Ride
I've copy/pasted some Rishloo info for you guys:
Rishloo are a fantastic and utterly underrated modern progressive band from Seattle. They first came on the scene in the year 2002. They mix pounding rhythmic buildups and vocally led alternative rock styles with progressive attitudes, effects laden guitar sections and virtuosic musical displays, all in a concise and grand manner coupled with particularly intelligent and evocative lyrics.

While Rishloo write artistic and creative music suited to fans of progressive rock, the music falls more on the commercial and listenable alternative rock end of the prog spectrum than on the dense, challenging and difficult end.

We also wanted to describe the idea of inspiration. We wanted that word to be defined by that so we created a word that defined the inspiration within.

I love this band, maybe people will start listening to them more after this reaction
And btw u should react to freaks and animals
Glad to see so many Rishloo fans new or old. I’d like to suggest Fair to Midland if y’all haven’t done one already. Either “Kyla Cries Cologne” or “Walls of Jericho” ooor “A Wolf Descends Upon the Spanish Sahara”

Rishloo bears an amazing similarity to FTM, mostly bec. of the similarities btwn singers. I started listening to Rishloo when I realized there wd be no new music from FTM ever...so began looking for similar bands.
Thank you for reacting to Rishloo
Rivers of Nihil - "The Silent Life"
yes!
I second this!
Yes please!!!!!!
all of their stuff is this good. Get it all.
"I don't recall seeing a suggestion" I suggested Downhill by them on every tool vid for 2 months straight.
Comparable only to the one and only,TOOL!
FANTASTIC MUSIC!😄
Some Rishloo facts from a Rishloo fan: the band is from Seattle; the artwork is by Rishloo guitarist David Gillet; they are entirely self produced and published (I ordered merch and my email correspondence was with a band member); they NEVER explain their lyrics, preferring to leave that up to the listener; EVERY song on their last 2 (arguably 3) albums is this caliber, though Feathergun is their most popular.
All Rishloo is amazing! Got me through some crazy times. River of Glass is probably my favorite from this album.
My favorite interpretation of this song is the garden of the sun is a place where you can't hide yourself. Your good, your bad, your misgivings and evil deeds. It's all in the open, in front of you. The "war" is with yourself, the evil you have to confront when placed in the garden of the sun - a place indifferent to everything but the truth.
Rishloo is such a great band!! You have to listen to Katsushika from the same album, beautiful song and one of my favorites!
I LOVE Rishloo ❤️
EXCELLENT review. They broke up for a while because the singer dove into being self-critical and didn't think he was good enough. Can you believe that. there's only two other singers that I've heard that can hold a sustained note as long as this dude. Steve Perry Ann Wilson. If you ever want to do those songs, the Steve Perry is from a group called Journey and the name of the song is the Winds of March. IDK if your audience would appreciate those old songs but I have a wide experience of different genres so I'm just letting you know.
Please more reactions of Rishloo!💥💥💥
Awesome band. Local for me, dont live too far from them. Was cool seeing them early on at a small bar in Seattle.
Thank you Jamal, that’s a dope song.
I wonder if a feathergun is like killing with kindness..
Rishloo is their debut album. In my opinion after covering several songs I would say downhill is my favorite anyway. Since you don't know me, I'm giving you my opinion on what I've learned. I do my best not to speak in absolutes. For the Heart long Sustained note, Dream of the Archer.
I think the difference between Steve, Ann and the rishloo lead singer is the ladder two, can do a sustained note, with the full-blown power voice. No only does Ann use her power voice she raises her volume to the end of the note which is absolutely phenomenal, I think. You have to give Steve props he had a five-and-a-half Octave voice. Sorry these are so long I hope it's not annoying.
Hi, new band, I'm your new fan !
by far the most underrated band I know...
wauw.. thats awesome!..you should revisted old vid in the comment section, there is some unseen gold..!!
one of the best bands ever
May wanna check out Cut All the Trees Down and Name the Streets after Them by the Fall of Troy also Act 1, Scene 1
Love this track. Nice seeing the "oddball" bands get some play.
That was they're 3rd album. I recommend the album Eidolon, song Eidolon Alpha.
Washington pride!!! Please do more of these! I strongly recommend Katsushika or Keyhole in the Sky
Next step is anything coming from their Living as Ghosts with Buildings as Teeth album. I love the overall music, but lyrics from Salutations are just awesome.
A bit late but I think a feathergun would be an ink quill. The pen is mightier than the sword kind of thing.
Rishloo - Diamond Eyes
Lake of Tears - A Crimson Cosmos
RUSH THURSDAYS!!!
Please do the band TesseracT, the song Of Matter off the album Altered State for similarly awesome prog.
You guys have got to check out the band ‘Soen’!!!
They are incredible. A mixture of Tool and Rishloo. You will NOT be disappointed.
Total tool vibe
Death- Story to tell
According to genius, feathergun is an oxymoron used to represent the normalization of violence.
Shinedown- I’ll follow you
It’s Time to do a full album Rush Live in Rio it will blow you away
Yes! Rishloo! Do Alchemy Alice or Freaks & Animals next!
It's sad how underrated this band is
Some patron, please request Wheel - Wheel.
Landmines. Best track from Rishloos most recent album. If you thought the vocal performance on this one was powerful, wait till you here Landmines....
Landmines from rishloo will blow your socks off.
"Freaks and Animals" is my favourite. I think it's the best from them....just listen to it.
This whole freaking Album is Great. Check out the next track and see what you think. Thanks!
