He's currently listed as a live member, so he probably didn't record anything on the new ep, was likely Mike. Josh is an awesome bassist though, so it would be cool if they make him a full member.
@@Andrew_182 Correct he didn’t. However he co owns (I believe) and works at Sparrow sound in which he produces and it sounds like he will be writing, producing and hopefully stays as a permanent member. Josh is BEYOND talented and I’m so happy he ditched AILD and is doing something new and exciting for him.
I'm assuming Mike played the bass for this recording. He actually recorded all the bass parts on their album Eternal Blue. As an elder millennial, I love the 90's Garbage and NIN vibe of this song! Spiritbox never disappoints!
I saw Spiritbox in San Francisco a while ago and it was awesome to see them live!! Also got to see Bad Omens as well and they are awesome too. You should check out some Bad Omens songs like " Like a Villain" or "the death of piece of mind".
Saw Spiritbox at their first headlining gig in Grand Rapids, MI on July 15. Was everything I expected and more. They’re amazing and worth every penny to see live.
This song is like the best kind of rollercoaster. Tension, tension, tension up the hill, then her scream and the heavier parts as you fall down the hill. It's perfect.
you should check out the song Falling by Harper! she’s the ten year old girl who covered Holy Roller by Spiritbox, then performed it on America’s Got Talent, and performed it live on stage with Spiritbox! Falling is her debut single!
if you want an intricate progressive metalcore band to check out, i HIGHLY, *HIGHLY* recommend you check out ERRA. their guitarist (and clean vocalist) jesse cash is one of the absolute best in the game with both his riffs and vocals, but the band as a whole is so tight. their ability to generate complex and sonically stunning soundscapes is really out of this world. some song suggestions i have are: the hypnotist (ambient and intricate), gungrave (heavy and gamechanging) and dementia (what most people call the band's masterpiece).
Probably Mike played all the bass on this, as he has done so for all the rest of their stuff. They’re playing Red Rocks Amphitheater in October, which is gonna be insane.
Oh hey, another CT resident! They played back in March at the Oakdale in Wallingford with Underoath. Next time they come around though, I definitely want to see them. This song friggin rips, it's so vibey. One of my favorites of theirs. Mike's pick scrapes are an underrated element to the music that, for me, adds so much to the vibes. Also, it's 2022 😅
Mike (guitar player) records bass for all the songs. He also used a 9 string guitar for this ep. Some metal bands like to have one person record all the strings to make them as unison as possible.
Feels Bad Man is great but he should also check out One Man's Cringe and Holy Ghost Spirit! Honestly probably my favorite songs from the album. Hopefully he reacts to them soon
Hi David! I’ve been gone from watching RU-vid for a while. Saw you pop up with this today. Their song off this same release called Hysteria is beautiful. My favorite of the release.
You should definitely should check out some songs off of the new Dance Gavin Dance album “Feels bad man”, “Die Another day”, and “Swallowed by eternity”
As always, such a good reaction and I truly appreciate your musical knowledge. You are truly one of my favorite RU-vid channels because you understand what you react to at a level I am not educated enough to comprehend. Keep it up man, we all love your content immensely!
I love spiritbox; absolute stan. Question to everyone; does anyone get a madonna vibe from this song? That's the way I've been describing it to everyone I show it to.
It doesn't have a music video that I know of, but I'd love to see your reaction to the amazing guitar work in Spiritbox's Sew Me Up. Everything they put out is just.... perfection
The 3 song EP they put out is banging. Sew Me Up is my favorite of the 3, but I love the new sound from Rotoscope. Also, the new Dance Gavin Dance album dropped on 7/29. You should do a reaction to the new video they did called "Feels Bad Man"
Just saw them live in Grand Rapids, they played this song, the whole show was epic! They still have Bill playing bass, even doing some clean vocals! Not sure where he was for this video though
Great reaction! I always come here for the musical insights to my favorite songs, it’s really eye opening. You should react to Hysteria next, it’s my favorite out of the 3 new songs they released
You should react to Denzel Curry’s new album Melt My Eyez See Your Future. Lots of jazz influence on the album. It was released before Mr. Morale and the themes are pretty similar. Great, vulnerable album
Please react to silk sonic love train LIVE VERSION!!! You mentioned you wish u could watch them perform the song live and they KILLED it. Please please please
Hi David, I don't know if you've done a Linkin Park reaction lately, but I think you would really dig their song Breaking the Habit. It's a top 3 Linkin Park song for me, and honestly I don't know another song or genre that sounds like it.
I would love to see you review black hole by we came as romans. You seem to understand metal and post core very well and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this band as I have loved them for years now.
Can't say I prefer this poppy-metal hybrid sound, but this EP has grown on me a little. Still, I think their earliest stuff was best, before Eternal Blue. The Mara Effect is and will always be a marvel of songwriting.
Their old bassist didn’t even play anything for these albums, all the bass was played by Mike (the guitar player). So although Bill was on the cover and played live for a while, he didn’t really add to their creativity. And I’m assuming that’s why they moved on without him when they saw Josh available.
Always nice to see musicians going through music. You might want to check out the band called Saphath with their music video "Outcast of Eden" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y8G-Hb1q2fc.html) or if you dig technical stuff - their fresh playthrough of "Asphodel Meadows" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mZU-p7xL0QY.html), there is some magic going on
I feel like if you busted out the “demon voice” in a non heavy metal setting people may not take you seriously and you may end up in a straightjacket 😆 I think what’s so compelling about scream vocals is that fact that it’s an explosive expression of that which we do all have to hold inside to remain a part of civil society. Parkway Drive’s song “Wishing Wells” would be a good example of writing some deep emotional lyrics expressed in brutal heavy vocals. But then there’s bands that will scream about Pizza 🤷🏻♂️ screaming vocals kinda lose their effect on me there… None the less, if you are jamming on the way to or from work who’s gonna stop ya from screaming your lungs out am I right 😄
I completely disagree about your wall of sound comment, that's usually more a total and constant bombardment of many sounds, I don't feel this fits the bill at all.
