KNOCKED LOOSE “Deep in the Willow / Everything is Quiet Now” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction 

"everything is quiet now" is the breakdown callout of the year. shit goes HARD

A Tear in the Fabric of Life and now THIS, these boys are on fire

Never really got into them much until their last release, but THIS, this has got me stoked as fuck for what they got next.

To me, Bryan's vocals might not be versatile tonally, but he is so good at lyrics & varying the rhythms he uses! Loved both tracks, so intense.

This song made me a fan I used to be iffy, Everything is Quiet Now's breakdown killed me

Johnny casually sporting the "I just skinned Kirby" outfit. Respect.

Humanity needs bands like this. Concerts will allow us to get out so much energy an rage :D

No comment on them giving their own band a call out lol thought that was going to get a few moments of reaction!

i understand where Johnny's coming from re vocals but man, i just couldn't disagree more. Something about his vocals really click with me and I think they fit the music and the vibe of the band perfectly. I also appreciate that they're very different to pretty much everything in metalcore/hardcore atm

Massive Kubrick/A24 horror vibes. Love the 1:1 aspect ratio. Absolutely love when they drop to the triplet waltzy groove in Deep In The WIllow. The team that shot/edited this are legends.

I'd heard so many detractors of Knocked Loose so never listened to them. Finally gave this a go and God damn. These two songs are my fave songs of 2023... Excluding Electric Callboy songs 😂. Love the vocals and that final breakdown*chefs kiss*

Fun fact, Eric Richter, the director for the music video, also directed most of the music videos for Spite.

Ya'll gotta check out their performance at Bonnaroo this past weekend. So sick to see them at a festival like that. A lady in a wheelchair crowd surfed and it was the coolest thing ever. They are doing great things for heavy music.

I think you did the only reaction to this video that mentions the slamming against the door on beat... that was a nice touch. Love the end of the 2nd song too... that outro is straight fire.

It's exactly what you'd expect from them at this point - punishing, yet fun. Kudos to them for putting together a video that is a worthwhile experience in it's own right. Love how much they continue to blow up while playing such an abrasive style of metalcore that's basically an only ever so slightly modernised version of what bands like Disembodied were doing in the 90s.

dude him saying "the chariot" brought back some memories. I saw them live once. It was a trip

the main reason that i am watching is so i can see you guy's reaction to the breakdown's in both tracks every time that i watch you guys/cool Aussie dudes/bros upload videos to your RU-vid channel always 100% makes my day a lot better 🤟🤟✊✊👊👊🤛🤛🤜🤜👍👍🐐🐐 btw BRYAN is a angry boi!!!!!!!!!!! chonky chuggy wuggy groovy just imagine how big of mosh/circle pit it would create

Knocked Loose is for me now on top of all the actual Hardcore-/Metalcorebands at the moment. Grewing up in the 90ies i listened to a lot of Straight Edge Hardcore and Metalcore and they are now getting their success that other bands at that time like Deadguy, Disembodied, Poison The Well, Strain, Norma Jean, Groundwork, ACME, Morning Again to name a few, or even Botch or Converge didnt get. I am glad that there are bands now that are bringing this kind of sound to a bigger audience.

I have had these two on repeat since they came out. I can't wait to see the pits. The knocked loose motherfucker had me rolling the first time I heard it.

A tear in the fabric of life is my favourite release by K//L

Every time I see that part at 6:50 with the kicks, it just makes me think of the ending of the 'This is America' MV.

I've hear 700 black & death metal albums and despite that Knocked Loose is my favorite band of all time. They just do everything right.

As a KY guy, they're one of the few great things to come from the state. They represent us well and they've been getting better and better over the years

I fucking love this band. Also in 'everything is quiet now" brain says "Deniiiiiaallllll" and it sounds so much like the vocalist from the warriors on 'black and the blue'.

Heard that the guitarist who does the lower vocals is a big fan of death metal which I can hear it in his tone, being a death metal fan myself i think that his vocals sound awesome!

KL are just knocking it out of the park right now. Casually defining modern hardcore banger after banger. People really are going to die when this grts played live. Those breakdown callouts demand it.

A24 core

11:03 - That's what she said

i have been waiting for your reactions literally all week thanks boiz

love the norma jean call out, definitely felt that too

I wish i payed them so much more attention at Knotfest Melbourne. This song is *insert words that cant be seen by RU-vid monitizers".

Been hyped waiting for you boys to get to this one, glad to see you both enjoyed it! I never really had that "click" in my head for KL till Tear in the Fabric of Life, and now I can't get enough of em, so damn good. When these guys play these songs at something that's not more mainstream like Coachella or Bonnaroo, more smaller and hardcore leaning shows... Like Johnny said, people are gonna die in those pits, these two songs are just massive ass beaters and I can't wait for what's next... On the topic of the video and the song not taking attention away from either, I felt the same way with the whole animated short film for Tear, it just melds perfectly together, in my opinion... and as Bryan said, KNOCKED LOOSE MFER

My favorite band 😍🤘🏼🔥

We deadset need a Johnny finger blasting compilation vid... just saying

These tracks kick so much ass

Knocked loose is hardcore. Litterally. Follow their journies.

Brian's favorite movie is The Shining. Interesting.

SICK !!

🔥🔥🔥 Either Knocked Loose or Paleface’s Please End Me will get that top spot for 2023

This is my fave knocked loose release in a long time, the video is very Ari Aster-esque and it fits the vibes of the songs perfectly imo. Knocked Loose motherfucker ✌🏻

These new songs are fuckin bangers. I did a drum cover of the 2nd one!

Ofttt that’s a big boiiiiii

Finally!

I think they took the "oh they performed at coachella, they're gonna get soft now" comments personally so they doubled the fuck down lol.

6:30

The only thing I'd really dread about more mainstream audiences like coachella getting into heavier more aggressive music like knocked loose is the music changing for more mainstream audiences to be more poppy but if a band sounded like that from the start and became popular I do not care.

Check out our last nights new original track!

Why am I just getting this notification? 😐 😢

Getting a lot of early ETID from this.

Folks gonna get beat down at these shows

RU-vid ''handles''? A request to artists, content-creators & 'users'. Although you probably don't care about my comments, I encourage ALL to CEASE uploading & commenting (except re-posting this) UNTIL RU-vid restores "channel name" to comments on videos. The level of confusion with arbitrarily assigned "handles" that are not 'coherent/compatible' across platforms is a new level of authoritative-dominion causing confusion among content-creators & 'users' of various platforms. Big-Tech never considers the consequences of their arbitrary actions. Demand to be heard! I will gladly endure a period of NO NEW CONTENT & NO COMMENTS to make the point. Restore "channel name" to all comments. Channel 'owners' retain ability to choose to change their "channel name" to include "@" and other alterations voluntarily. I would not put this on a channel if I didn't value the channel's content & my ability to comment. The alternative to taking-a-stand is to passively submit to Big-Tech's arbitrary dominion over even YOUR OWN WAY of identifying yourself on internet. Don't reply. Re-post this !

Please listen to ‘Please End Me’ by Paleface, dropped on the same day as Knocked Looses new singles, but they all go so hard it’s unreal

I lost count of the breakdowns.

Agree with the comment about the vocals. I've tried so hard to really get into KL, but I can't get through more than a handful of songs. As you said, it's the lack of variability in the tone of his vocals. Having said that, these are the best songs imo they've released, since Laugh Tracks.

it kind of pisses me off that he has pink hair now. for no real reason other than i always saw him as just like a regular innocuous guy then his music hits so hard. songs dope as always. All my friends will always be their best though.

I’m giving this a second try with you guys. I gotta be honest, I can not STAND his vocals, but I’m hoping they grow on me because the instrumental is sick.

Honestly, if they dropped the lead vocalist and had the other two take over they'd sound a lot better haha

The why havent you done this yet feels like it was directed at me, which is kinda dumb, because i never rushed or asked why isnt it out yet, i simply asked if you were going to be doing it.

Terrible vocals in my opinion,

I have listened to these songs at least five times a day since it dropped!

Most hardcore has the same cliched tough guy vocal style. Bryan’s vocals are far more unique. They sound so raw and unhinged, that it compliments the music perfectly.
