You had to be there. I remember alt-tabing right as Nik took the Arsis bit too far using photoshop. And then came back to the stream exactly at Nik's realization that chat was right all along about the "A" being slightly different than the "s". Comedy gold. Never change Nik, we love ya!
I worked at a cd store as a teenager. and because I was the metal head, I had to sort the metal section. The amount of cds that just stayed in the 'New arrivals" box, because I couldn't read the damn band names was impressive and embarrassing 😭
@@justpassingthrough7990 I know it's part of the subculture now, and I've grown to love it. But whenever I'm at a black n death metal show, doing a drunken merch shopping spree, it kind of sucks having to decipher the band names on the actual shirts the day after before you gift them, to make sure you didn't just accidentally buy some nazi band shirt 😅.
Didn't you have like that paper that they give you where all the stuff the store is getting is listed (I don't know how's it called in English). Basically a list you have to check out for the goods you're receiving.
The band "Sad" is one of my favorites from my country! The guitarist (called Ungod) has an underground record store, and I've personally met him. He's a super chill dude
Beer was spitted out in cartoonish manner at the end there. Was still chuckling 3 minutes later as I was cleaning up my monitor. Comedy gold that ending!
One of the bands in this video, Eucharist, formed in 1989, are actually considered to be pioneers of melodic blackened death metal, which eventually paved the way for At The Gates, Dark Tranquility, Dissection, and In Flames. Try reacting to their song Greeting Immortality in their 1992 demo! The demo has beefier production than their debut A Velvet Creation.
Ive listened to like one of their songs and I can't even read the logo but I recognize it because part of it looks like triangles and I just know it's them lol
Thy Catafalque is dope as fu... Despite being genred as avant-garde it has so many great instrumental melodic metal songs (sometimes with Hungarian folk verses)
This is a fun one lmao. I love videos where people try to read metal hieroglyphs. I would love to see more of this. When i try to design logos for myself just for fun, i also like to mirror half of the design, and add or remove a few lines to fit the letter.
*Sees Angelcorpse, Averse Sefira, Blood Incantation, and Sadist logos "Don't you fvck this up Nik, I swear to the void..." HOW do you not know Arsis!?!?!?!?!? You're going in timeout now, go sit in the corner.
I am not a big fan of metal music. I mean, I appreciate some songs and bands, but this music genre just isn't my favorite. But somehow I found your channel. And this video just made me laugh soo much. I was a bit..SAD all day :D. But you and your video helped me to get out of my thoughts and just enjoy. Thank you, Nick! Sorry for my English tho. Not my native language.
Usually I laugh WITH Nik because he's funny and knows he's a goofball. But this is the first video where I actually laughed AT Nik. LOL This was the best thing I have seen this month.
fun fact Thy Catafalque is a hungarian band and i'm hungarian and i think it's the only Avant-garde metal band in my country but definitely the most popular
Nik would LOVE Arsis if he gave them a chance. Especially the album, We are the Nightmare. Features Ryan Knight (ex The Black Dahlia Murder, and I think he sat in on a tour playing for Abigail Williams) on lead guitar. Well, I say "lead", but vocalist/guitarist James Malone and he switch off seamlessly and frequently.
Bloodbath's logo should be pretty straightford since they're a somewhat popular band for death metal. I know a lot of prog fans that like them since Mikael form Opeth was in the band for a bit. That one "I can get into this" death metal band despite their heavy HM2 sound next to later Death and a certain At The Gates album for those not too much into the genera (love the new record btw).
from the stuff in the video i might have found some indicators for what genre it is: unreadable tree root looking stuff - death metal drawings - black metal sounds like a hipster beer - progressive
I feel proud I instantly recognised both bands in the Thumbnail ^^ (Top is Blood Incantation, Brutal Technical Death Metal, and bottom was Bloodbath, concept Melodic Death Metal band by top musicians, like Michael Akerfeldt on vocals)

Thy Catafalque is really good. Certainly one of the better avant garde metal projects out there. I can recommend Meta, his 2016 album. That's the one that got me hooked.
We have a punky black metal band in Denmark, called Satanic Assault Division, who always just writes SAD, when signing their merchandise. They are very fun!
*No*
YES
hahahah that last one tho 🤣
Yes
Everything Wrong With Nik Nocturnal "Metal Logos Make NO Sense"
"No." No. (Ding, +1)
No way ! Tin tin, tin tin tin tin tin tin Tin tin !
That Photoshop part literally had me bust out laughing when you put the pink on the yellow and there's a little line of yellow showing 😂
Haha chat saved the day by making him do two different colors and doing pink over yellow
@@coreyw5981 Twitch chat absolutely DESTROYS streamer LIVE
IMO that logo says ArsiR, not ArsiS
lmao and the comment at the end "TADAAAAAA" had me rolling
fr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nik: Just because you add an extra, tiny line--
Letter T standing next to Letter I: *sweats profusely*
Well, T's 'extra line' isn't THAT tiny, I guess...))
upper case “i” and lower case “L” nervously sweating
wait til he hears about b's and d's :/
@@benjaminchristianhay well NOW we're talking! XDDDD

That ending was the best revelation of the year

@@digitalmortality2001 wait I have a fanbase?
"Ungod" sounds so cool honestly
Sad is very underrated Hellenic Black Metal
As someone who draws these and has developed the skill of reading them, this was thoroughly entertaining
Can someone really develop such a superpower?!
@@maurop7991 practice 😂
Beer was spitted out in cartoonish manner at the end there. Was still chuckling 3 minutes later as I was cleaning up my monitor. Comedy gold that ending!
I've been dabbling in metal logos and it's astonishing how close you can get to pure symmetry and still get different letters. Really cool stuff.
8:03 I haven't laughed that hard in 6 months
As a metal logo designer, I thoroughly enjoyed this video 😂
That's a job? lmao

that last part got me wheezing to death LMAO guess it was 2 different letters
The Arsis thing totally broke me! Your funniest video so far!
1:29 "It was progressive we couldn't even see it" is such an underrated statement.
There is a death metal band called party cannon and their logo is the toys r us font
They even reverse the r. 💀
When Google asks you to prove you're not a bot metal purist version
"Choose all pictures with Black Metal logo. If there's none, press skip."
"there's no geometry" followed by that painful sigh hahahahaha 🤣
I thought this said metal legos 😭🙏
That would've been a better video idea
Thank you I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought that! 🤣
Bro same 😂
Tbf making metal logos out of Lego and making the bands out of Lego figurines sounds pretty damn fun
They would destroy your feet
Blood Incantation’s logo might be hard to read but damn, they go hard. Hidden History Of The Human Race is such a good album
It’s hard to read but it’s so recognisable at the same time
Ive listened to like one of their songs and I can't even read the logo but I recognize it because part of it looks like triangles and I just know it's them lol
This will never be old!! 🤣😭🤣
Flipping and changing colours lasted for like 20min on stream. Schadenfreude joy 🤣😭🤣😭🤣
I loved this, do another round of this please 😂

This is the first time I've ever cried laughing because of a video. The end just killed me
Miss Trevor Strnad ...
He would know them all. .
R.I.P
As a wrestling fan, some of the designs made me think of when World Championship Wrestling changed their logo in 1999.
"Party Cannon"
I love this! You need to do more guessing of logos/band genres!
*Sees Angelcorpse, Averse Sefira, Blood Incantation, and Sadist logos
"Don't you fvck this up Nik, I swear to the void..."
HOW do you not know Arsis!?!?!?!?!? You're going in timeout now, go sit in the corner.
this stream had me in bloody tears omg

8:06 that face of defeat....LMFAO 😂😂
fun fact Thy Catafalque is a hungarian band and i'm hungarian and i think it's the only Avant-garde metal band in my country but definitely the most popular
I was crying laughing when I watched the VOD and was really hoping for a YT video on the whole Arsis rant - so thank you! 😂
LCD clock displays 2:52
Nik: they're all the same numbers!
Man, the letters M and W are gonna be super uncomfortable watching this flipped/mirrored discussion 😂😂😂
d, b, p and q are reassuring each other feverishly. I and l are beyond reconciliation and experiencing outright panic.
As someone who draws these, W, I, and T are some of the worst letters to do lmao
4:45 Patrick raising hand: is pentagram a letter?
This video straight up had me in tears 😂😂🤣 thanks for all the laughs this afternoon
Best ending to a video I have seen in a long time.
Extermination dismemberment logo is crazy it looks worse because of how long the band name is
I love them lol
The deny moment in the end was pure gold hahaha
Ofc there's Blood Incantation logo, you should try listen to them Nik! They're great band
Blood incatation is awasome
I'm hoping sanguisugabogg, or however you spell it, was on the list at some point.
The line at the end 😂
All this tells us is that Nik has never finished a 'Find the Difference' puzzle in his life.
Nik would LOVE Arsis if he gave them a chance. Especially the album, We are the Nightmare. Features Ryan Knight (ex The Black Dahlia Murder, and I think he sat in on a tour playing for Abigail Williams) on lead guitar.

I’m having a really difficult time with you not knowing angel corpse. I wouldn’t even say I’m that heavy into metal and I know who they are.
Literally the hardest I have laughed all year. Sure it's only Jan 18th but holy fuck am I glad I watched until the end. My gut hurts.
What surprised me was the fact that Ludovico Technique wasn’t on there.
Some of these logos scream "graphic design is my passion".
the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra ...line
sometimes it shocks me how corekid he is 😭 bro is aware of 3 subgenres period
Yeah. Like not trying to be a dick but how do you run a metal UA-cam channel and get flummoxed by Blood Incantation
for those not in the know, Arsis' first album, a celebration of guilt, is one of the best melo tech death you'll listen to. highly recommend.
Saw Blood Incantation in the thumbnail while wearing my Blood Incantation hoodie. I knew I was getting that one.
the final one made my day hahahah
The last one had me crying
from the stuff in the video i might have found some indicators for what genre it is:
unreadable tree root looking stuff - death metal
drawings - black metal
sounds like a hipster beer - progressive
I feel proud I instantly recognised both bands in the Thumbnail ^^ (Top is Blood Incantation, Brutal Technical Death Metal, and bottom was Bloodbath, concept Melodic Death Metal band by top musicians, like Michael Akerfeldt on vocals)
Metal genres have become Butters explaining his Halloween costume.
Nik ur vocals have gotten so good
January 5, 2023
The Arsis Incident
I'm not gonna lie at least 2 thirds of these logos just look like messy AF drawings rather than actual words
the end was hilarious. This is why I love to watch Nik's videos. What day and time does he stream at Twitch?
The band eucharist has legendary breakdowns my dude

Read these band names to prove your not a bot
If I by some miracle is going to start any kind of metal band I am going to use Wing Dings as font
IoI

8:03 i litterally died here omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That Photoshop part killed me :D
Clickbaited me with the Bloodbath Logo in the thumbnail...
Omg! That Photoshop part had me dying! XD
Thy Catafalque is really good. Certainly one of the better avant garde metal projects out there. I can recommend Meta, his 2016 album. That's the one that got me hooked.
What's avant garde metal?
That rusty eye logo pretty dope actually.
Hahahahahah the part of the Photoshop I can't 😭
We should be accepting that at this point logos are just meant to be visually recognisable emblems more than legible titles for a band upon reading.
Arsis was the band that Brandon Ellis was in before he joined Black Dahlia Murder
Nik: "Just because you add an extra **little** line-"
English: OQ
I can't believe he missed arsis everyone knows that band
The craziest part is Nik not knowing who Arsis was. They were super popular in high school.
I'm more surprised that he didn't knew who Blood Incantation was
Had to come back and watch again just for the ending with photoshop. Peak comedy moment right there. 🤣🤣🤣
I've seen people read the Arsis logo as SARSIAS, so good job on getting that close at first try.
LAUGHING and feeling with you at 3:33 !!!! xDDD
I cry laughed at the part where you instantly hit power metal for dragon land. 😂😂
I want more of this.
As long as i've loved metal i've never understood the obsession with having logos that look like paint thrown against a wall
The Partisan Turbine.
That's a hard one to figure out
(Awesome Bass Instrumental on the album )
And Universally Estranged 's Logo too
7:33 "b" and "d" are mirrored and they're also not the same btw
We have a punky black metal band in Denmark, called Satanic Assault Division, who always just writes SAD, when signing their merchandise. They are very fun!
