That ending review made me tear up bro, my man 🥰
Blake You Legend! Thank you so much for this Art ❤
You guys legit produced perfection with this EP and I'm not even really into deathcore. Absolute masterpiece.
YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE ITS THE BEST DEATHCORE EVER CREATEAD
When you released the first 2 songs of the EP last year, I didn't think it could get any better, but the 2 new songs raised everything to such a great level that I can't even assign a numerical value to how amazing this EP is now. I mean, sure, I could say 11/10 to reference Spinal Tap and such, but seriously, not even 20/10 can accurately represent how blown away I am by the EP. I love it even more knowing how you reference and even quote Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.
I really hope that you and Synestia get a LOT more attention with these releases. This full EP and Time II are sure to be my absolute most favorite releases of the year! I'm already streaming this EP, but I'm wondering what is the most direct way I can support the bands.
I'm already looking forward to your (and Synestia"s) next release. You guys are doing some of the best things in metal right now!
Listen dudes
Ive been refreshing like a MOTHERFUCKER trying to listen to these last two tracks, after the absolute masterpieces you guys dropped last year.
For me to miss these releases by a full 4 days, I was BEYOND CHEESED.
But your music made it all back up.
I am not joking when I say that you are pushing the farthest boundaries of metal. No scratch that, you guys are breaking through into something beyond metal, something greater altogether.
Seriously, for an EP to have music of this quality, each track a perfect amalgam of progressive, technical, and catchy metal (the qualities complement instead of take away from each other), with influences from classical music such as Vivaldi's Four Seasons guiding the rich leitmotifs, which carry the entire thematic along with the intricate narrative resting on the backs of characters and worlds woven into an intricate tapestry, all tied up in these art-statement videos...
it just speaks to the absolute mastery that you folks (Synestia, Disembodied Tyrant, Blake Mullens, and others I might be missing) have over your craft.
This EP is more than deserving of its namesake, which is one of the greatest literary epics of our past.
Let this be a testament to the power of collaboration in the metal space, where virtuosos such as you have the potential to band together and create music that is simply gestalt.
What I love about this entire EP is that it’s not only amazing deathcore, but also how each song a uses a different melody from “The Four Seasons,” one of the most recognizable pieces of classical music ever. Death Empress uses the melodies from “Spring,” I the devourer uses the melodies or “Summer” and so on. It’s a really great form of story telling as it tells a story of how a medieval conflict had escalated through out the course of a year, with conflicts brewing in the first song during the spring, preparing for battle during the summer, having the battles during Autumn (which in medieval times is when most battles were fought due to the climate), and the aftermath of the battles in the winter. Best EP of 2024 EASILY
Hey i recognized that too!
That is so cool!!! Truly masterclass in concept, story, visuals, music, creativity, musicianship. It's honestly unbelievable considering how young they are too.
The other songs have Melodie's from the four seasons as well? I mean Winter is obvious but where are the other Melodie's? I haven't found them yet
@@Patrick-qe4jslisten to the start of Death Empress and I the Devourer for Spring and Summer, then the part in Poetic Edda where the guitar and violin are going back and forth for Autumn
Yoooo thank you for this comment. I recognized the bit in Winter but wasn't sure how I'd figure out who the classical composer was.
Im not even into deathcore that much, but this..... man this is something else. Insanely good shit
Love hearing that!!
Vivaldi would be proud
No deathcore band will release a better record this year, it's impossible, this is a masterpiece
I agree. I know it's sorta cliche to compare this immediately to Lorna Shore, but them and Slaughter To Prevail are kinda the "it" kids of deathcore right now. Anyway, no disrespect to Will Ramos and Co, but this blows everything else I've heard in the genre out of the water. I had no idea metal could get this facemeltingly heavy and still maintain such a crisp melody.
I'm truly agree with u no deathcore band better than Synestia right now
This is what deathcore and metal in general is all about and why i love this music so much: heavy, catchy, creative, poetic and just mindblowing music! 🤘
Oh, and thanks for introducing me to a new incredible band!
Nothing even compares to this EP. I've never heard any kind of metal that I could define as "perfect". Except these tracks. This EP is actually perfect.
It’s definitely up there.
I wouldn't say the vocal arrangements are perfect, but this is a great EP.
Masstaden under vatten would like a word.
i have no words to describe how fucking good this EP is. it's everything i've ever wanted out of a symphonic deathcore release and more. i wasn't sure whether they'd be able to make something better than the title track, but they somehow did it. i'm just speechless, wholeheartedly agree with your 10/10. they deserve to be on the same recognition level as lorna, absolutely masterful release. wow.
METAL VIVALDI YAAAAAAAAAAAASSS! WE HAVE BEEN BEGGING FOR THESE LAST TWO TRACKS! And of course I can count of on you to let me know of the release of this glorious filth.
Fimbulvetr (fimblewinter) precedes Ragnarok and is described in the Poetic Edda as being three consecutive winters with no reprieve and just snow everywhere. Winter fucking NAILED that. This EP is 100% my most favorite album that has ever been made. It is beautifully brutal.
The breakdown in the first song sounds a little like everywhere at the end of time mixed with death core and I have been waiting for a band to do something like that !!!!
the level of appreciation i have for the fact you were not constantly pausing and backtracking and just let it play enjoyed the music with some commentary and then talked about it. mad respect you got a new subscriber man well done(edit because i forgot to type a word)
I personally just have always struggled to get into the vocals of Deathcore... But the production, the ambiance, the musicality, and the epic choirs are all dope as hell. Wish more metalcore and djent bands would do large epic tracks. Imminence gets close and a few others do every now and then as well, but i'd love to see more choir and orchestra in metalcore cause it's genuinly dope as hell.
Deathcore and heavy metal in general, I feel is in a weird place right now. It's the biggest and most evolved it's ever been, but also somehow feels stagnant at the same time. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned all the bands trying to out heavy eachother for the sake of making ignorantly heavy songs. But THIS! This is truely something else. One of very few artists in the "deathcore" scene right now that's capable of story telling through their music. It really does feel like watching the climactic finale to a movie or series. The way they build suspense right up to the drop and all the seemless transitions, these songs really take you on a ride. These guys are total class acts and I couldn't agree more with the rating of the EP. Can't wait to see what they do next!
This scratches me where I itch. speed, classical, modern, technical, deathcore = perfection. This is my guilty pleasure.
The songs paired with the music video is perfection
If there ever was music at the dawn of all creation in the empty black abyss between space and time, I imagine this is what it would sound like. Dark and beautiful. It sounds like eternity.
So amazing. Glad I was there to see you react to it!
Finally! This EP is a masterpiece, every song is amazing. I hope we can see more from both bands soon. I need more.. And we really need more classical influenced Deathcore
If these two bands could just fully combine I think my head might explode.
I’m right there with you my man. Speechless. Goosebumps. Just pure enjoyment. This is what I needed today. Love ya Birb 🔥💚
I've moved on from Deathcore to other genres some months ago, but this made me come back one more time... true masterpiece
I've been waiting for someone to react to this here on youtube. I hope more people will pick up on it cause this ep is a masterpiece.
Thanks for bringing them to my attention. They sound f**king amazing!
Thanks for channels like yours that made me listen to this, holy shit man thanks
This was one of my most anticipated projects and you're 100% right. 10/10. Nothing is like this EP at all
It's a damn trip this EP INCREDIBLY A WORK OF METAL ART
I'm glad you reviewed this! I really hope more channels will check out the new releases of this EP, or even the first 2 songs, frankly. I was completely blindsided by the release of the 2 new songs, and I'm so happy the 2 new songs are just as good as the former ones. I loved the use of Vivaldi's Winter movement in Winter, and knowing this reference, I'm going to listen more carefully to the other songs in the EP for the Vivaldi influences.
This EP has some of the very best deathcore out there, but I'd go on a limb to say that this is just some of the best metal music of the year. Bravi tutti to Disembodied Tyrant and Synestia! I truly hope you get more recognition and love for this amazing EP!
The only thing I would criticize is that ending on a breakdown became a bit formulaic with these tracks, but even that I don't feel in full, because I loved those breakdowns.
Easily one of the best metal releases this year, maybe the best. The ambition of this, a 4 song EP, went so above and beyond most bands full LPs and delivered on it in a big way. Instant classic material in my mind.
I get what you mean, however I loved how differently the breakdowns were handled in each song. I really hope these guys get more recognition for the amazing music they've made in this EP (and their own releases too, honestly).
Gives heavy Shadow of Intent + Inferi vibes, i luv it
Your reaction was the exact same I had when the EP dropped. I felt like my heart fully fucking stopped. So damn good🤘🏻
Paleskin - Near Heaven this band needs some love and recognition
Winter is so incredible I can't even think of anything else to say about it. The ending brought me to tears
This is insane, truly a work of art.
My 5 year old daughter really liked I, The Devourer last year. She called it the Crazy Song. I wonder what she’ll dub the rest of the EP. I can’t wait to play it for her.
This EP might be the most insane deathcore/symphonic death metal release of all time.
this is DEFINITELY not my type of metal. but HOTDAMN! that second track was the SH!T!!!!
the last 12 hours have been very fruitful, metalwise.. i heard winter this morning and Phoenix V: Invocation by night verses last night. my metal heart is full and i am full of adrenaline!
Thank you for giving it a chance!! I’m seeing a common thing where people who aren’t into this style of heavy music appreciate it. I think that’s what makes it special just like Sleep Token for non metal listeners!
@@METALBIRB my pleasure! im willing to give ANY music a chance... its been proven to me time and time again that you judge a book by its cover/ song by its genre at your peril and risk the chance of missing out on good music. good music is so rare and precious these days that i cant afford to let any good shit slip by!
What those two bands do together is amazing. they revolutionize metal and I love the whole ep it's beautiful
wow !! hoooooow this guys never miss and who the fuck are they??!! the stuff they do is truly mesmerizing, i've been milking the lats song since it came out and i'm not even a deathcore guy but the energy these guys give through their song is so amazing. So happy for them to get some recognition at least in spotify and they surely deserve more
damn the thumbnail is a masterpiece itself
Haha thank you dude!
That syncopated breakdown near the beginning of Death Empress reminds me a lot of a similar breakdown near the beginning of Welcome Back O Sleeping Dreamer by Lorna Shore
Omfg I just saw this. My son just had the absolute best birthday present ever!
I think they wanted a song that reflected a doomed world dying and they managed to transmit that to me, i felt that world dying i felt the doom in the last breakdown it actualy gave me anxiety,this is trully a masterpiece
enjoyed tttheyir a super lot. alpha tier energy. so glad I came across tttheyir video. 🤘Was also wondering have you theyard of October Ends? they's new song is fire! You should react to it
Im not into deathcore, but im currently listening to this at '11'. Much to the chagrin of everyone within hearing distance. Except for the one guy 4 houses down that is standing on his patio just groovin' to it.
Homestly this EP is absolutely mind-blowing and a fresh sound. The only band that i know that have a bit of a similar vibes is Darker by design but they're a bit more soft.
That ep gonna be on repeat this year
Peak deathcore right here. I can't get enough of it.
Both bands are incredible individually but when they come together.. We need more of this as soon as possible
imagine they will play it live someday😱😱
They're playing a festival in New England this year, I would give anything to go but I can't
Hardcore Metal fest?
These guys are sooo damn underrated it's crazy!!!!!
I love Disembodied Tyrant heard them when they released their first EP they been my tops. This EP is definitely my number 1 this year . It's crazy just a short EP and it's a masterpiece to me too 🤘🖤
They straight up killed this shit. What an amazing EP
these guys really know how to build tension and make the heaviest parts sound scary, frightening
Damn what a journey - gotta give these guys some more spins.
This EP got me in the feels. So god damn good. Every prop I have to give. They can take them.
An album that gave me this type of "pressure" (I like to call it. Just that massive weight of tension and sheer sonic density.) was Black Tongue's 'Nadir'. More recently (for me) was Amenra, just the whole entirety of that band.
Actual 2 best songs of the year, holy shit. EP of the year for me
this ep is just unfair. it rly puts lorna shore and signs of the swarm away to the point they don't even get me going anymore.
I hate to compare bands, but I agree. No disrespect to Lorna, I think Will Ramos is a super cool dude, but man is their music a "Lorna Snore" for being boring as shit including the guitar solos.
For real, this EP has kinda ruined other Deathcore for me. Everything else sounds so samey and boring
My reaction when I first heard it too! Moshpit in a ballroom
This is right here the best thing i have ever heard in my 40 years of listening to this music
AMAZING I LOVE THESE GUYS
The first song I couldn’t help but bob my head. The ending of winter reminds me of HLB. Masterpiece all around.
I believe that GODS dance while this EP plays in the background
Winter. That song gave me chills. Melding Vivaldi with deathcore was so amazing and they weaved parts of it throughout. Absolutely fantastic.
Winter, with such a classic influense, should be "Classic-core" ❤
Amazing band and song 👊🏻
When I saw it released like at 1am I literally grabbed my headphones and went immediately to jam mode lol
There's no way a single metal song will beat Winter this year. Absolutely. UN. REAL.
I would wait to see anyone attempt to cover any of the four tracks, either on guitar or drums.
I'm unfamiliar with this band. Is this one band, or two? I like Deathcore in very small doses because it just sounds samesy to me, but this was riffy and had lots of change-ups that reminded me of many early 2000s Norwegian metal bands I loved like Extol. Or other riffy quasi classical metal bands like Children of Bodom. I'll check more of them out!
Two bands it’s a collab EP
I need an Album like right now!
Holy shit this is sick!!!
That EP is artwork ❤
Ooo, what was your number 1 song from last year?
Huge SOI vibes in this!
This is classicshredcore
This shit so heavy it reduced my brain to only two brain cells and they're both fighting for second place... 10/10
I ♡ operatic/symphonic deathcore.
This is the best metal band out there and after the Ep I hope I will say this I hope there is more two come because this band is unstoppable believe that
Normally I'm just a drive by Deathcore enjoyer that's mainly on the EDM or Metalcore train. But for whatever reason are all my AOTY in the past years Deathcore (The chosen EE, Pain remains LS and for sure this EP will also be in atleast top 3
Best EP in YEARS holy fuck
I need more time to rate the two new tracks individually, but imo I, The Devourer 9.5/10, Poetic Edda 9.2-9.3/10 the EP together as a whole 10/10.
Edit: Also 10 days until a potention Gloom in the Corner ALBUM and then we get this shit... I'm so stoked for this month's music.
I love will and the guys in Lorna shore but these guys are just on another level
You should listen to Mental Cruelty, LS is far from being the best band in symphonic deathcore, it gets this recognition because of the final sound in To the Hellfire.
@@TheAlex4019 another sick band, I’ve been listening to them for a long time. There newest album is really good but I prefer a hill to die upon.
EP of the year.
11/10.
Guess you gotta update that masterpieces video u uploaded 😂
Wed: I don't listen to deathcore, it's just not for me. I'll max out at metalcore, and that's fine.
Fri: Why yes, I do listen to deathcore now. What changed? See, there's this band I just listened to for the first time...
I haven’t been this hype for a song since Lorna shore released to the hellfire
Anazing bit not ready for Hvid tonight , ill comeback tomorrow
The Mozart of deathcore.
No, the Vivaldi of deathcore. 🙂
I FULLY agree with 10/10
What's the classical song that Winter seems to follow in the start? I know that cord progression, I just can't place it.
Oh it's literally Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons No. 4 - Winter in F Minor'.
Listen to the two back-to-back for even more appreciation for this amazing EP ❤
Winter is here
I like Vivaldi and Lorna Shore.... Instant favourite :D
🤯
This goes stupid hard
Wowwww that was a fucking ride to say the least!
I am usually one for more clean vocals. But these where put together so well you can't help but give credit.
full agree on the 10/10. this ep is a complete mind fuck
Lorna Shore got me liking Deathcore, but this EP is masterful on another level. I could say this is the best quality of metal music I’ve ever heard.
If this isn't on everyone's Best EP of 2024 list I'm going to freak out
🔥🤘😝🤘🔥
The zooms in tho
Most deathcore is not really my thing, the rise in symphonic and technical deathcore has really peaked my interest lately. Ever since I heard of these guys I've been immediately obsessed. Favorite deathcore EP without a shadow of a doubt. 11/10.
