First Time Listening Experience: Disembodied Tyrant / Synestia "The Poetic Edda" 

Damn I moved a lot this past year eh? Hope you enjoyed the format. Go show some love to the boys at Disembodied Tyrant and Synestia.

Can both bands just combine into one at this point??? So ridiculously good

Coworker usually hates what i play on our speakers in the shop but he was vibing hard to this EP

Genuinely the best deathcore I've heard all year by far, the mix is also immaculate.

this is one the single greatest musical experiences i've ever had the privilege to enjoy, from start to end it is breath taking but both the start and the ending are standout

its mind blowing that three dudes made this, absolute masterpiece

To me, this sounds like it was very inspired by Reclaimer which is like my favourite deathcore album ever, moreso than LS of BoS like people said in comments of I, The Devourer. What a perfect ep.

This EP is the best. The two newer songs did not disappoint and just pull me in even harder. So amazing.

i find some bands to be a bit "too deathcore" sometimes and it almost leans in to self-parody but i am all in on this one! thanks to the likes of you, mr birb, and your fellow youtube canucks for bringing this to my attention. "i, the devourer" is a masterpiece.

I love METALBIRB. I love Disembodied Tyrant. I love Synestia. I love everyone.

winters breakdown gives me literal chills and a laugh, havent heard something this absolutely fucked since i first listened to immortal. the crazy down tempo, the atmosphere, the vile guitar tone, the singular drum. it raised my testosterone the second i heard it

This compilation of your reactions is worth posting, considering this EP just put the bar VERY high for Metal music in general. This is probably the best music I’ve heard since I started listening to this genre.

No joke as a 32 year old grown ass man I tear up at some parts of this EP it's just that good...

basically Vivaldi if he was in Deathcore band and produce Winter

saw this and scrolled through the ep at work. was amazing!

Because of you i started listening to them and I’m ABSOLUTELY obsessed!!! All songs have been on repeat.

As far as deathcore EPs go this may be one of the best, it's so heavy and cohesive. And they pulled off a Vivaldi riff

All of the songs are bangers but the poetic edda still absolutely devours the other tracks imo

No shot i JUST finished listening to this EP and literally said damn I wish more people would cover this and lo and behold 😅

I went out and bought some eidfier speakers just to listen to this ep properly. Incredible experience

I NEEED a live performance of this with a full choir and orchestra. That would be a god tier moment of human achievement.

First video of yours I've watched I'm glad to see credit given where it's deserved and you deserve a lot more views than you have disembodied and synsetia are insane and you helped prove that nothing but love here man good video

i can't get enough of this ep right now. i believe on the reddit ama they said blake and one of the synestia guys (cannot remember who sorry) will be doing a side project that is going in the direction of this ep, while the bands themselves will be doing stuff a little different? should check out the thread if you haven't!

The part where he goes "Oh, this cold, weary, old world" has so much emotion in it. It's pretty cool

Disembodied Tyrant Is The Best Deathcore Band From This New Age Of Blackned Deathcore 😎🤙

I like this format alot, combining all of the individual reactions together is a great idea.

I don't see how this can be topped for EP of the year

God I love this song so much. Glad you found it

Man, the ending of 'Winter'. Every fucking time. Goose bumps.

Edda is just a musical masterpiece. Unreal...

I just listened and watched probably the best deathcore/classical song ever made 100/100

Honest question, did they get actual strings for this EP or is it all production? Obviously the choral background singing is very much production, but it’s harder to tell with the strings

What an absolute banger of an ep. Easily a 10/10

This reminds me of beyond twilight. Especially the album for the love of art and the making. Even though that band is more progressive metal but I see so much parallels. I am not really into deathcore but holy shit this is incredible.

I get the feeling that this (these) band(s) and this EP will remain underrated. I'm almost certain that TIME II will be my album of the year, but I wonder if reaction channels are even going to touch it, or have even taken a listen to the teasers of the early Wintersun demos on Jari's channel. Anyway, between the Poetic Edda EP and TIME II album, I think 2024 is going to be one of the best years for metal in recent memory.

They should collab with darko us at this point.

The different movements of this song too

I completely agree that this is too creative to compare to Lorna Shore. With their next album they have to change things up, their sound got kinda stale pretty fast unfortunately. Which the fact that so many bands tried copying their formula could have contributed to that.

This makes Lorna Shore Lolna Shore mwahaha!

This one makes me wanna play Elden Ring and get killed by everything that’s surrounds me 😂

FORGET LORNA SHORE FOR THIS IS THE POETIC "ERA"

Brutal 🤘🏻

ghaadd dayumm this is true Deathcore 💀💀🤘🤘

Мужииик, это лучший металл однозначно 🤘🏻

It's glorious

Holy FUCK, did I say someone in your chat say "is this 2015?" to a pig squeal? Oh no.

Ep of the year goes to Levels - Pulse imo 😊

I'm the 667th liker. Sorry to ruin your 666 likes but I just love the video bro so I have to 😭

Not gonna lie, I love the instrumentals. I could rock out to those all day. I still struggle with this vocal style though. I love music that implements screams that are more understandable and mixed with cleans , gives the best of both worlds imo

Dragonforce and Lorna shore had a baby

I'm not a big fan of deathcore for sure I prefer death metal and I only listen to Disembodied Tyrant and Synestia because it just combines incredible music and fantastic music videos.

🔥🔥🔥

I'm sweating...

Deathcore isn't necessarily my thing to start. I own that. And what I do like deathcore wise is more Beneath the Massacre or newer stuff like DarkoUS, Ten56. Which i know some dont call them Deathcore. Im rambling. The point I was getting at is that it sounds like stereotypical deathcore in the same vein as Lorna and so. It all just sounds the same to me. Now with that said, they do what they do well. And if people love it, hell yeah. Im not one of those people who want things to suck and attack people for liking things. And call everything "woke" to be a contrarian and pathetic edge lord. We have enough of that in the pop culture world of film and television.

Get will Ramos and Ben durr on this

I might be wrong, but I think that’s a one man band.

To me, this sounds like it was very inspired by Reclaimer which is like my favourite deathcore album ever, moreso than LS of BoS like people said in comments of I, The Devourer. What a perfect ep.
