Honestly sleep token has been my palate cleanse. I love their music, still has some metal, but I definitely notice that if I’m listening to like hip hop, or 80s rock/pop, classic rock, and even electronic, when I go back to home to metal, I appreciate it more instantly
I also think the guys in Tomb Mold have other careers and they do this because they love it. They have also created demand with scarcity. I couldn’t find a planetary clairvoyance shirt on-line. I don’t need any more shirts but I bought one from them last night, because they rule and I want it and, because it directly supports whatever Tomb Mold is to them, helps them keep going and makes me happy because their music is sick.
Poppy makes all music advance and she is constantly changing things up so it never gets stale. Bad Omens and Poppy rock! The two of them are now on tour in Europe with Pop's as the opening act. Haters go away as Bad Omens did not do wrong by working with Poppy who also is their lable mate on Sumerian Records.
Always got to be moving on or scenes become generic and redundant. Imo Poppy is the most interesting figure to hit the music scene in a long time, because she doesn't limit herself to one genre. I certainly can't think of a more versatile female in music.
i remember when Gaga came into themusic industry and Birthed a HUGE Shock. Wish her managers would let her Do what she wants cause legit 100% of her unreleased are better than the ones her management team let's her put out
"Egotistical" 😂. Dude's have been getting death threats and have had Tom's name dragged through the mud...all because they grew the fuck up and decided to go in a different direction.
Which is totally shitty and inexcusable. My point is if you write something heavy, do it because you want to not just to send a message or get back at a certain group of fans. It’s quite ironic that everyone says “Seeing Red is the best song Architects has ever had” when that’s definitely not what the band was going for. Oops.
@talentscoutreacts I mean, they wouldn't write a song if they didn't want to. They wrote the song for them, I imagine it was quite cathartic being able to unleash after some of the shit they have had to put up with. As for being their best song ever. Anyone saying that hasn't listened to anything before Holy Hell. And before anyone starts, I am not dissing that record or the ones that followed. I love old Architects...and I love what they are trying to become.
@@talentscoutreacts I just want to say... as good as the song is on its own, knocking pretty much all of the typical metalcore cliches, in absolutely no way is this better than These Colours Don't Run, or pretty much anything off of All Our Gods.
Good song, but I can't agree with your impression. I don't think they're being egotistical at all. They're frustrated and I can't blame them. They've been getting a ridiculous amount of hate for writing the music that they want to write. Simple dislike of their direction is totally understandable. I've found myself in the same boat since Holy Hell, but certain fans have been going *way* too far. This isn't an "attack on fans" as you've said. In all of the discussion I've seen since this song dropped, the fans know who this song is directed towards. Even people who have been lukewarm on them know. It's ridiculous to imply that they shouldn't address what they've dealt with just because it might hurt a few feelings. Screw that. They're not the first band to call out a portion of their audience for being jerks, and they shouldn't be the last.
Do you have any examples of what sort of hate they've been getting? I'm genuinely curious as I've not paid attention. Are we talking more than a reddit post? What's the level of 'hate' that causes them to then write an entire song devoted to people who are hateful?
@@fadencetv4422 Googling "architects hate" reveals some interviews where Sam Carter (vocalist) talks about how much people tell them to go back to their old sound, along with him expressing frustration in thinking metalheads are "closed-minded" (which he's not exactly wrong) and whatnot. That's all normal criticism, but the stuff that is absolutely vile is people that say they "sold out" after their guitarist's death in 2016 from cancer, and also having the gall to be like "Tom wouldn't like this" and so on. You can find them talking about Tom's death in interviews. MetalInjection posted some stuff about it and I think he references other things in different interviews. UltimateGuitar also posted an article about it. I haven't found him talking about death threats per say, but tbh the stuff with people using their guitarist's death is enough for me.
This is fucking amazing! Never heard of this band until seeing this video... Northlane comparison is spot-on. Trying to do something similar myself, more of a hard rock/EDM focus than metal per se... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2BbUHGWzoPI.html
I hope you’ll check out Too Close Too Late as well. I think because there’s no music video it’s falling through the cracks. I can’t stop listening to it. I really loved melodic Fear Factory and I hear some of that in this song
Loved everything about this track. Riffs remind me of when metalcore/deathcore pulled from Swedish melodeath and the chorus gives me big Soilwork vibes. The more atmospheric half of the track gives me Tesseract vibes and I'm here for it. Really loved Crystal Lake with Ryo, but the new guy is doing just fine. I'm fine with the breakdown being brief. I don't think it needed to be longer and I appreciate that it wasn't. The metalcore/deathcore space that Crystal Lake occupies currently puts way too much emphasis on breakdowns and I'm beyond tired of it.
I remember Courtney saying one time, I think, that Holy Roller was just them deciding to write a heavy song and so they did. And I really like Holy Roller, but to me this song is soooo much darker and just better overall. It's like the end of Hysteria, middle of Silk in the Strings, and ending of the Mara Effect Part 3 all wrapped in to one song. I can easily say, I will listen to this song far more than Holy Roller and really hope I get to see it live sometime.
Huge fan of this reaction! Very objective and informative for me, on point. Def a fan of this song and of the void, I’m hoping to get a song like holy roller on this ep. I need something to rip my ace off.
