When i heard soad use blast beats i freaked out
They've used them before on a few songs, namely X from Toxicity. But in this song they do a straight up black metal-esque section.
@@The_JustJoshing Yeah I was about to say they've never done them to this extent. Technically speaking BYOB and Cigaro had blast beats.
@@The_JustJoshing I’m thinking they use them in Sad Statue too. They don’t do them often, which is a shame because John has the chops.
They always used blast beats. I can name you a few songs, but the best example is "Bounce"
@@matin2825 jet pilot also and Many more
The best part about that blast beat section is that it fits thematically with the song. You hear the guitar scrapes (emulating the sound of shells being loaded) before this massive blast beat section (the shells being fired)...it fits perfectly with the theme of the song. It's more than just the fact that he is using blast beats...it's the way they use them that makes it all the more effective.
You’ve got it all wrong.
The guitar dead notes are more like shotgun fire, the blast beats are machine gun fire.
5:23 My exact thoughts. I was terrified to listen at first wondering if their sound had changed. Glad to see they take the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" proverb to heart.
This song was actually written by Daron for Scars on Broadway, as was the other they released. This song is definitely scars tasting but also works really well as a system song. I love both bands (like. a LOT) so I definitely enjoy this.
I feel like this guitar tone here reminds me totally of Mezmerize and Hypnotize. But the guitar sound is very different on Toxicity and Steal this album, which had a much more distorted Nu Metal sound. This here sounds warmer and more classic. I mean, classic rock sound, not classic SOAD. At least that's what my ears hear. I think he plays different guitars on the albums. I think I read once he started with an Ibanez Iceman and changed to Gibson on later albums. 🤔 You're right, there were some Black Metal blast beats here. But I think Cigaro from Mezmerize already had some Black Metal influences. Daron is a Black Metal fan. I mean he signed Satyricon back in the day when he had his own label. Serj doing Black Metal Screams? I mean I wouldn't be too surprised if he was able to. 🙈
Yeah, he probably could do black metal screams but it seems like he messed up his throat from improper technique over the years.
There is a performance on UA-cam, it was 1996,in the song "soil", he made a guttural exhale scream, he sounded just like George fisher... Actually one of the few times serj did an exhale growl
You should react to the other new SoaD song- "Protect the Land" since I'm pretty sure that these will be the last 2 SoaD songs we get. They only got together because of the Armenian crisis in Artsakh. Now that is over I don't think they'll ever record a new song together.
Don't speak so soon bro.
sadly things have gotten bad again. not a war necessarily but there is a blockade and the people in artsakh have access to nothing. there was an interview where serj said he wanted to have a charity concert w/ red hot chili peppers but it didn't work. hopefully it happens. artsakh could benefit immensely
Again war
System of a Down have always been the masters of transition. When I first heard that blast beat, I was like “what the hell!!”
Pleasee do The collection by signs of the swarm!!
There's a band called Beyond Deviation and they have a song called White Noise. Some of the most gnarly vocals I've EVER heard. It came out in 2015 and it's always on rotation. He's one of the few vocalists I've heard do a perfect whistle tone. So insane. I'd love to see you break it down!
I was actually just thinking about that song and how he should react to it. Those vocals in the beginning are unholy
Seeing your reaction to the blast beat section put the biggest grin on my face :D
I thought I was the only one who thought it sounded like a Black Metal beat when the blast kicked in.
Thanks Mark! SOAD was my gateway band into the more brutal stuff you're usually reacting with, so seeing you check this one out was awesome!!
Vulvodynia dropped a new song "disconnect" you should make a video about it.
I remember watching a Jared dines video where he said he didn't like black metal but liked when bands took influence from it. Blackened deathcore for example. I'm in the same boat personally, I gave black metal a fair shot in high school when I was exploring all the branches on the tree and now I mostly stick to metalcore and deathcore with a bit of new metal and ska...
Same here. I mean, the music itself isn't that bad and I can find some songs and band that I like the sound and tone of. But the problem is the lyrics and the controversy surrounding the bands which is a huge black metal personality trait. Nearly most bands are either nazis or criminals, or both. Only a small fraction are normal people. Can't really listen to a band that wants to genocide people or who kidnaps, tortures, murders and eats people either (a dude named Gahhl did the latter I think).
That's what I feel, if you've never listend to Dusk Dismantled from Trivium or Metaphobia from Allegaeon, you should
Loved it! Can't wait for the next one 🤘
I enjoy every single one of these videos. Never stop.
Love that song played it over and over and over when it came out!!!!!
Hey man! Thanks for your videos. I think fiddlers on the Green by demons and wizards would be a great addition to your reaction-collection!
Much love
Please please please do an angelmaker song next, the rabbit would be perfect. :)
One of the best songs on an already fantastic album
@@Lavaman_E89 Which song do you think is the best bro? going back through my old deatchore playlist looking for BANGERS.
@@brycestephenson6399 I'd probably put Bloodthirster, Radiance in the light of a Dying Sun, and The Rabbit as my top three from that album. In no particular order
Or maybe "Leech".
That would be awesome
Long time subscriber here! Talk about lyrics themselves occasionally!!! System of a down/Serj solo - extremely witty, revolutionary lyrics, coupled with POWERFUL metaphors etc.
YOU DONT GIVE SOAD FULL JUSTICE WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE LYRICS THEMSELVES!
I spent years just maintaining that we ought to support all the band members in hope they'd one day they'd drift back together. I had some come kind of over-excited fit when I found out they were making music together again.
All the things I loved are back again, including the parts where they don't bother themselves with fitting to a single sub-genre.
My Spotify weekly introduced me to the song Come Hell or High Water by Native Construct. Super interesting song and I reckon you'd have a blast both listening to it in general and talking about the vocals. :)
genius music
I can't wait for this!
Please react to Vola - straight lines you wont regret!
You sound like a vocal teacher! Cool
That's good news, because I am! :)
Hey mark, I’d love it if you could do more infant annihilator specifically something off their newest record. I’d recommend the battle of yaldabaoth or ov sacrament and sincest
Cool analyze, try check out UK bands Bleed from within and Slugdge, that would be interesting! :)
I liked and subscribed for ya brother!? Good luck!
Thanks dude!
Dude please can you do a reaction to any orbit culture song! You’ll seriously love them 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
wait, didnt i see this video before?
You did! UA-cam had a bit of a tussle with us but we made it happen
I'm glad someone asked, I was questioning my sanity
I Love your Videos and how you explain the Different techniques! Please react to Dir En Grey - Vinushka (but the live Version) i really want to hear your explanaition on his voice and style.
Best regards from Germany 🤘😁🍺
I thing this is one of their best song
Anger by Left to suffer would be freaking awesome if you did or Convictions the price of grace
Hey Mark, would you please do Black Metal reactions / analysis? 🔥🤘🏻
Hey Kardavox, not sure if it would make for a long enough reaction or not but you should listen to Dickie Allen's newest song, "The Morphing Mound". He's doing whistle tones now!
Austin Dickey?
@@ethandonut853 yep! On his channel "Dickie7861".
That was intense for system of a down
Y’all gotta do Falling In Reverse “I’m not a vampire Revamped”, tremendous singing and a bit of great screaming. Plus they are super popular ;)
Agreed! Do this one!
This mans gotta react to I'm not a vampire revamped
Could you please do anything kublai Khan? He is a simple vocalist but he is an amazing one
You mentioned on diggy diggy hole you wanted more of that genre. Well they arent that genre but Alestorm is another band I think you'd have a lot of fun with. I'd say drink or pirate metal drinking crew (the latter is nsfw just in case lol) but both are very fun songs
Can you please do a video on defamed, specifically Doves but any song will work.
You should do a chamber of malice song 🌚
what is the name of the band he talk about here 7:07
eng is not my native language sometimes is hard to hear the correct thing
I didnt get also, but i would like to
I was just trying to understand the same thing😂
I believe he's talking about Lantlos, but I'm not 100% certain. Early post-black metal per their bandcamp page.
Ok i know them. Thanks bro
Yeah it is Lantlôs.
Please react to the bands
Itnuveth
Tales Of Evening
i think bound in fears new song left to drown would be good to analyse, the vocalist has beefy lows
What's the song at the end?
hey I'm new to your channel. Any chance you could do a video on killswitvh Engage End of Heartache?
I second this, especially the live version with Jesse and Howard both in it
Im seeing a specialist cause im constantly getting vertigo. Its impossible for me to watch that SOD video lol.
Could you please do Abigail by Motionless in White? I can't figure out what Chris is doing with his screams, he sounds so absurd
7:07
What's the name of the band ? I searched I can't find anything
Lantlôs, I belive.
What black metal band are you suggesting? Couldn't really understand it due to the accent. Sounded like landlost or something
Check out I'm Not A Vampire (Revamped) by Falling In Reverse. Ronnie does a scream on there that I am really unsure about what it is.
Ew no.
Really impressed with his singing on that song. And he did great making those screams sound so desperate
This is not the first blast beat of SOAD...
Though I am thrilled to have SOAD making new music, I think this song is one of their vocaly most uninteressting. Their selftitled album especially, as well as their whole discography, harbor many vocaly much more diverse and interesting songs in my opinion.
May wana seizure warning this one
🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
I don't know that Daron has to make a conscious effort to me more nasal. He kind of sounds like a Keebler Elf in general.
Wasn't a huge fan of the song, felt like a solo serj song.
I cannot be the only person who doesn't here black metal there at all. It's just some fucking tremolo picking over a blast beat. Sure, those are common in black metal, but that does not even slightly make it black metal. I don't get how so many are saying that. It sounds like what a new metalhead would be saying out of ignorance (like growls exclusively meaning death metal), but obviously Mark's not that.
I was a bit perplexed at that statement, too. I'm not getting any black metal from it either, even if the techniques in that section are common in black metal.
It’s true other styles use blast beats and tremolo without being black metal; I think what pushes it a little closer to black metal vibes was the progression during the tremolo. The minor harmonies started to switch me into “expecting some higher screams” as Mark pointed out. SoaD is definitely not blackened genre, buuut I was very delighted at the small nod to it.
