How to Write a Killswitch Engage song! 

Yo Nik can you do a screaming tutorial?

Bro, I looked all over your channel Monday to see if you had done this video yet and four days later here it is! The instrumental, I think, could be an alternate instrumental for My Curse it sounds so good.

Hey Nik, check my comment pretty sure it's a scam account that replied

Which drums samples we rockin here?

Do how to spiritbox

@XxNikNocturnal bot

Well he is really good undoubtedly but to be fair it's easier when you're taking heavy inspiration

He can literally write any metal bands song and sometimes those bands can't even write their songs anymore 😂

​@@raedewav yes and no: it's quite tricky to not accidentally copy parts of songs of the original bands

Content drives very well

Old Parkway Drive and As I Lay Dying for life 🤘🤘

Yes sir

Couldn’t agree more bro

I also am biased and feel that metal core is the most superior genre possible. Someone could turn Beethoven or Hans Zimmer into metal core because of the melodic ambience. It's beautiful and powerful.

Agreed

its fucking amazing!

Something about the second note that Chad hits in the chorus though ❤

The “ how to avenged” has some dope riffs and a solid chorus….it’s good avenged not the bad stuff 😂

For real. This shit goes away hard.

I'm grateful Nik decided to give this a go even though the short didn't blow up. It's good knowing that he still does what he likes to, not what he must to stay afloat.

​@@devcor definitely keeps the true nik fans hooked

he was being sarcastic. it did about as good as the other shorts XD

AS AM I

ME TOO🤘

For sure

Me too

YES

I know right?! Wait...what....

W reference

Yep, he's really crossing his Is and dotting his Ts isn't he?

For sure!!! Wait.....

nah, that's metalcore should be, not djent2 s***ty Af, that's prog metal part not pure metalcore

@@KSE828 thanks! I must have had when darkness falls stuck in my head.

Yeah I also love how much it sounds like a killswitch song

I would love if he got Matt involved. Matt always seems down for these things.

I'd love to see a How to Trivium with Matt. Would be absolutely sick. Hell, I'd love to see it even if he couldn't get Matt involved.

Well Nik pays them so Howard or Jesse would probably be too expensive

Or with Matt Tuck on How to Bullet for my Valentine

he's amazing in Lgnd as well

Need to listen to him more in new ftfd. I loved him in changes but then preferred Dylan for all the other albums. Then once Chad came back he didn’t sound anything like changes so I just never listened to the new stuff.

⁠@@SoulxDDSix is great man. Took me awhile to get past how goated Changed was but after having given their newer stuff a shot, i'd be doing you a disservice by telling you not to listen to it. It's great start to finish.

Devour Intro: At the turn of the tide, At the turn of the tide. Verse 1: With the blind leading the blind, I bled out a thousand times, No one can save you, With the past behind me now I finally realized, That life is full of twists and turns and unexpected ties. Pre chorus: At the turn of the tide, At the turn of the tide, Chorus: Don't lose yourself in the rules, Just do what you'd do, When everything's wrong, Devour! Devour! Devour! Verse 2: The flame of change will be erased, Wash it away, The journey cannot be replaced, Lead the way, At the turn of the tide, So uncertain and filled to the brim with your pride, At the turn of the tide, Chorus: Don't lose yourself in the rules, Just do what you'd do, When everything's wrong, No excuse I'm living proof, And I will bleed out truth, Onto you, Just do what you'd do, No matter how hard to choose, Melodic Bridge: With the past I moved along, I've been through the trial of fire, With the past behind I moved along, I've been through the trial of fire, With my head held high and my soul intact, I'm no prisoners to my desire, At the turn of the tide, At the turn of the tide, Chorus: Don't lose yourself in the rules, Just do what you'd do, When everything's wrong, No excuse I'm living proof, And I will bleed out truth, Onto you, Just do what you'd do, No matter how hard to choose, Outro: No matter how hard to choose, No matter how hard to choose!

Dude I was like "ok so they're obviously going for Jesse kse" and then got the Howard curveball

@@gotohell316 yeah that what I was thinking when I first listen to this song

TY my man

*This should be a pinned comment already.*

Yeeeesss!!!! Trivium!!!! Nik should definitely do one for Trivium, that would be awesome and even better if Matt Beasty 😝 joined him!!!

Worst comment ever

@@tmw3489 Thank you very much for takeing your time to give me this feedback. It will help me approve alot to future comments.

I heard Unstoppable like two to three years ago, it was randomly recommended on yt. Grest song!

Love that band man. Check out the song In Sincerity. Short and perfect

Wait a second Nik got FtFDs singer for this?!?! What!!

The Big Empty is a banger from FTFD after chad but before chad

Listen to they’re album Changes it’s one of Chads best right before he left for the while he did.
