Hahaha this is such a blast from the past. My boy and I were listening to this my freshman year of highschool. Didn’t know I’d ever see a reaction to it.
Protest The Hero are one of the best metal bands of the 00s. They do come from a hardcore background (which you picked up on), but took that into a whole new direction and helped create the progressive metalcore genre. Their album Kezia (from 2005) helped change the landscape of metal/metalcore. Protest The Hero are possibly people's favourite metal bands' favourite band. Some modern bands that display their influence more openly include Red Handed Denial (whose singer is a popular RU-vidr named Lauren Babic), With Sails Ahead, Press To MECO, early Don Broco (Big Fat Smile era), and many others. While it isn't as popular as Kezia, Fortress (which Sequoia Throne is From), or Scurrilous, I think Volition is their most cohesive/best output. Plato's Tripartite, Mist, and Skies are 3 of the best songs I have ever heard.
Bloodmeat, bone marrow, blindfolds aside, turn soonest to the sea (got that one tattooed on me 😁) wretch, the divine suicide of k, divinity within. They're so amazing. ❤️ thanks so much for reacting to them and I really hope you do more.
Heck to the yes for Protest the Hero. I'd definitely love to see more of them on the channel. My all time favorite band right there. And as someone who owns a headless guitar, it is the best damn thing I've ever owned. Small, lightweight, and an absolute shred machine.
Protest the Hero- “Turn Soonest to the Sea” AMAZING breakdown and change up!Please do this as it’ll be interesting to see what all the trash talkers think or tell the meaning.
@@emilymorgan5586 hope you enjoy it. I went to the MN show. It was amazing and really fun. I’m obsessed with all their songs and they play 12 on this tour 😁
My all time favourite band right here, been into them since 2005. I genuinely think these guys are so under-rated it's almost criminal, they're so fucking talented and their music carries a complicated euphoric feeling to me. I really, REALLY wish more people would react to them.
Morning fellas! At first i couldnt get into it but then i liked this song! Different sound than what im used to tho...(there were parts where he sounded a little like Mike Patton,i thought...) The guitar work was crazy good!!! Thanks for sharing Darrel!🙂👍
This individual songs of this album don’t do this album justice. “Fortress” is an entire listen. There is no discernible transition between tracks. It’s a long story...melody...harmony...something. I’m not smart enough to explain it, but this album, in its entirety, is my top 3 albums, ever....as a legit aged metal veteran.
I just have to subscribe to these guys because they react to every song...this one was surprisingly agressive, not sure why Canadians support it so much...they must not have metal bands up there? Great song...
better live concert than some of my fav bands. but it was a club show. either way was so good. fyi the concerts im talking about iws tool's lateralus and 10000 days converts, big wreck, and dallas green. but they have so much energy
The whole volition album is my favorite album, their new album palimpsest is so complex in the message with every song, check out “clarity” it’s about Star Wars and Star Trek.
