Elder - Dead Roots Stirring (REACTION!) 

We need More M’s by Drake and 21

I mostly watch the reactions of older music, particularly love the classic country reactions, bc of how deep and real classic country lyrics were. Highly recommend “silence on the line” Chris LeDoux and “Three Wooden Crosses” Randy Travis. Both are incredibly layered songs that don’t hit you until the end. Randy in particular will probably put tears in your eyes. Enjoy!

The song “compendium” that was in the #1 spot is really good. Honestly though, anything off of the albums “Lore” or “Reflections of a floating world” are great. Really hope you guys review another now that you’ve touched on so much music in the two years since this one! They also have a new song that just dropped like two weeks ago called “Endless Return”!

Elders from 15 minutes away from Me. It's weird to see how local band with a small following become so huge considering when they come around it's just... them LOL And it's kind of funny that you mentioned God Smack even though these bands are in completely different parks of heavy genre, because Godsmack is also for Massachusetts but they're on the west conservative side as opposed to the east was liberal side. It's also hilarious that you mentioned envisioning them playing in extremely small venues that are intimate. It's weird to think that they sell out stadiums in Europe and yet play such small places here in the US still. Odd how you can be a God in the foreign place and just revered in a small sanctuary elsewhere in itty bitty places like AS220, and local concert joints. And it still doesn't take anything away from them because they are incredible and a jewel of the area.

@@tenebrisrex333 first time I saw them was at AS220 on Halloween night a handful of years ago!

Hard agree, I only found out about Elder this year and Reflections of a Floating World is easily one of the best albums I’ve ever heard

Saw them in September. They played Sanctuary and Blind! I was so happy!

Thats the best CD i discovered in the last 5 years, 100%.

Lore is also a masterpiece

That album and lore are just perfection

Opeth has much more progressive elements than death ones, as, for me, Elder has too. Red Fang is straight up stoner rock imo and this is more progressive stoner. But Reflection of a Floating World is a better example

Ive been listening to both for almost a decade. Never thought of it that way.

They should have done III off of this album. That is the the true banger

They should probably rather listen to something from a different record to get a different sound. All their records sound so different from each other. Ryan didn't like the sound of DRS too much. Maybe something from Lore or Reflections... or Omens is more his thing. They got proggier after this record which maybe helps with the song lengths. I kinda get what they said about DRS. I think the selftitled debut record and DRS are their "weakest" records (still really great records) and they started to get their own unique sound with Lore and afterwards. Selftitled and DRS didn't stick out too much from other Stoner or Doom bands records. I think they might had more fun with songs like Sanctuary, Compendium or Halcyon.

That's fair, but Gemini is an absolute banger.

Gemini is a damn killer song.

Spaceslug, King Buffalo, Kanaan, Bongzilla, Weedeater and so many more

REZN is a on another level from the bands you mentioned, which are also good bands.

I'm so jealous. They're on my bucket list

Plus Isis, how come they've never reacted to this band yet? They are progressive, groovy and heavy in the same time.

@@tetfol3315 they reacted to "So Did We"

@@DSFARGEGEGEGEGE on Patreon I suppose

@@tetfol3315 yep

@@DSFARGEGEGEGEGE So I guess we will see it on YT in some time.

And acid king

Second on Green Lung. I think I've seen them live three times now and they KILL it every time. Such a great presence on stage and incredible, memorable songs, there's nothing close to what they do in the stoner space.

YOB is love

YOB is life

Finland

Sanctuary is the most epic song they did so far.

@@TonyRedgrave1501 it's good, but I think falling veil is leaps and bounds better. The outro for Sanctuary is dope as hell though.

They're great! Staving Off Truth is one of my personal favorite songs by them!

any bands like elder you would recommend?

@@duketea_ Pallbearer, Yob, Bell Witch

​@@manynukes11 These don't sound like Elder at all but really great bands. Pallbearer are a really great live band. I want to see Yob in the future.

@@duketea_ If These Trees Could Talk for me are pretty close to Elder. Early All Them Witches to a certain degree. Earthless, Lo-Pan, Lowrider, are all good in a similar vein.

@@TonyRedgrave1501 They don't need to sound exactly the same

10,000 Years is essential!

that's always the arguimentation of people who don't like this music. they'll always be like, but its too long or it sounds too much alike, which is weird because it is so diverse and crazy and full of different stuff all in one song

Completely agree! They have matured their sound so much. That album is basically a modern Pink Floyd album. Love it so far!

Yes!! Innate Passage is truly amazing; one of the best things I've heard this century, and a firm candidate for my all-time top 10 (as a 53-year-old music obsessive, that's a hard list to crack...) Would love to hear these guys' take on it!

Elephant tree does not get the recognition they deserve, even in the doom community.

Can’t tell how much I love Elephant Tree

Great album dude!

Mine too!

I was at that show too! Absolutely incredible! That venue has had some of my favorite shows YOB was a crazy standout!

Elder can do no wrong in my opinion

I probably put this just barely above Lore and just barely below Reflections of a Floating World. Such a great band.

just realized it's prolly on patreon. if so, sorry, disregard haha
