REACTING to ARCH ENEMY (Nemesis) 🎤🎸🔥 

Arch Enemy - We Will Rise 🤘

"We are one. One for all." ✊

You should definitely take a look at Angela performing this live in Tokyo. The absolute command she has over the audience is insane, she has such a massive overwhelming stage presence

She has a beautiful clean voice when she wants to use it. Also her hair is fire. TU4C!

What I love about Alissa is how clear her words are despite the distortion. It’s really intense. I love her style so much, I never got into Arch Enemy until she joined. (That being said, yes, absolutely I love Angela, too).

I loved her hair. I was astounded at the SOUND that came out of her! She's so small! And trust me, if you genuinely like a crowd response, you NEVER get tired of the stage. I did some stage work a million years ago, and I STILL miss being able to make people laugh. Knowing that you are the cause of that sound is like having cocaine stuffed up your nose. Not that I know anything about that. Wacken just seems to be the BIGGEST sing-a-long party in the world. It must be STRATISPHERIC to be on stage and have about 80 000 people hollering your lyrics at you.

Fun fact: when Anette abruptly left Nightwish in the middle of the Imaginaerum tour they had a show to do and they were in trouble for they didn't have a singer! That night Alissa and another singer called Elize Ryd filled in Annette's place for the show to go on. Later on Floor joined as a temporary addition to the band to continue the tour, and we all know how that ended up

One of my All-Time Favourites .... here we go 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

"We will rise" live in Japan with furious wolf in disguise in shape of Angela Gossow in white. There. They got me for the first time. \m/

Seen Alissa and Angela both live with AE and gotta give it to Angela, that woman is a one lovely beast. Not saying that Alissa isn't good, but Angela just gives it a little more. So yes, check out older stuff (I believe that there is live Nemesis version in YT). Cheers from Finland!

They are fantastic in concert!!...love both singers!! Try "My Apocalypse" with Angela❤

since you like good crowd response, here is a treat for you: Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016

Haha. "Punching you in the face, REPEATEDLY". A new definition for Nemesis we can all agree on.

Check out Angela,man. Arch Enemy and their live performance in Japan-Angela was The BEAST!

Angela (previous singer) doing this Live in Tokyo is another level!

Guitar Hero 3 got me onto this band! Bit of a banger for me, so many memories of slaying with mates 😂

Arch Enemy always takes me back to Carcass. Also a band Michael Amott was in. Because they always come at you hard and fast, but for the solo, they break down into this melodic, slower tempo. I'd recommend some Angela tunes now. We Will Rise really kicked them into high gear popularity wise.

Really love her call in this "BANG YOUR HEAD!"....... Look at some "I Am Empire" live - Kamelot with Alissa and Elize?... (also appearing Charlotte Wessels and Lauren Hart!)... Another vote for Kamelot "Liar, Liar" feat. Alissa White-Gluz! She uses growls and cleans...... Emotional reaction on a subconscious level!?... Absolutely! Powerful! Good stuff!

That was awesome start to Sunday morning. It hit me in feelz too! Cool review, pauses and all 😆😉🤘🤘

YEEEES UNBLOCKED! Thanks Chase! I missed this one a lot. Horns up man!🤘

💥🤗 Sweet Chase. I love your technical knowledge, your dry wit & most of all when your humanity drips openly down your cheeks. Just as it does down ours. Bless you 🙏💞🙏 Chase Carneson. You make this old lady smile, even on her hardest day. 🌈 ☺️ 🎶 💖

Reason to Believe, she uses clean vocals in Arch Enemy for the first and only time so far.

Keep that mouth closed...Chase . 🤪🤣🎤..yup awesome song. .riffs are unbelievable...but vocals and drummer killing it ..let's goooooooooooooo.. 🖤💟🎶👌

Jeff Loomis is a guitar god frim a little band... Nevermore 🤘😈🤘

That backing guitar melody in the chorus is one of the signatures of Arch Enemy

If it's a crowd response you want. You have to do Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016

You should do no gods no masters live next with her singing.

This is a great, genuine reaction. And to an incredible song from an incredible band. Cheers, mate. 🍻 🤘

Great reaction Chase. This song is very intense. Guitar solos are awesome and fit to the music perfect. 🙂

React to "Blood on your Hands" Live from Japan 2008 so you Can listen to Angela too

You got some more bonus points in my book for just throwing out your technical listening in the last third and embrace the emotions. Keep up the great work, you are a great human bean.

Alissa is very good, but Angela Gassow helped create the movement with these awesome female screamers, I hope you can check her out singing this same song, and do it live, i's INSANE!!

"She is brutal"... just wait till you experience Angela live. Not to mention the brother guitar duo AE had for years with Michael and Chris Amott. Alissa is very talented and has an incredible overall range, guitarist Jeff Loomis is also a technical beast but the older lineup had a special sound and energy. Check out anything from the Tyrants of the Rising Sun dvd for a showcase in beautiful brutality. I'm partial to 'The Day You Died', Angela shows the emotional range that distorted vocals can provide.

The range of Alyssa is unbelievable, she is adorable. She is able to switch from her screaming voice to soprano in a second. There are videos with Delain or Tarja on RU-vid - just incredible

Such a great live band! I usually don't miss any of their shows when they are around

Im soooo glad you teared up at the exact point I did, it added to the gravity of that emotion I was feeling... im missing live music so much, and that crowd participation hit me hard. Till the day I can get back into that crowd, those moments will always make me emotional!

We....will......rise

I prefer Angela singing this, but Alyssa does a really good version.

Last time they were in Finland on a club gig, I decided to skip the warm up acts. Great show as always, with Angela or Alissa. But the warm ups, well one of them was Jinjer ... fuu😁

Loved this reaction! Check out the version with Angela too, u'll enjoy it!

Look at Angela and Alissa. Alternate singaz bruddah.

Another great video, Chase. Many thanks for this reaction video. I heard Arch Enemy for the first time. I had chills too :). Great, amazing and incredible band. Great musicians, great solos, great music. Alissa is an incredible singer. She and Jinjer are probably the best growling singers in the world. Great and amazing live song by Arch Enemy. Keep up the great work, Chase :-).

If you want to checkout Angela then: Bloodstained cross (video) Blood on your hands (live japan) My apocalypse (video) Enemy within (japan live) Ravenous (japan) For more Alissa: War Eternal (live/album) First day in hell (live) Dead bury their dead (wacken 2018 live) Bloodstained cross (wacken 2016 live) Bury me an angel (Tokyo 2015) The day you died (Tokyo 2015) Avalanche (wacken 16/18) The race (wacken 18) Never forgive never forget (Tokyo 15) Alissa is generally very very good live. Probably why the band is much more popular nowadays.

An added complication for this is that Angela used false cord growls in a style that emphasized short powerful bursts of just a few syllables at a time, while Alissa uses fry screams that are more flexible but less explosive and work best with longer lines. Alissa adapts the song by stringing multiple lines together. Doing Angela's version from Tokyo could but interesting, but a good song to see Angela if you don't want to do this again is We Will Rise, either in Tokyo 2008 or the MFVF 2010 video.

Beastlings of AWG salute you ! Great video , thank you ! /,,/

Amazing reaction, congrats!!! I have chills every time listening Alissa, such Power in this tiny ladie 🖤🥰🤘🏻

i like the little blow right after the song :)

Oh interesting, I never heard this song with Alyssa. It did not disappoint, Angela picked a great replacement. Thanks Chase!

Alissa is featured on a song by Kamelot, called "Wasteland Monarchy (Liar Liar)", I highly suggest you check it out, the music video does cut out some of the solo (just so you know)

And she can get way more sick than this too. She used to sing for a band called The Agonist. They let her pig squeal and blech while singing. They let her also add cleans. They have a music video featuring her vocals. "And Their Eulogies Sang Me to Sleep."

Chase what the drummer is doing is called a slide step on the pedals. its another way of controlling the rebound of the beater if you dont have insane feet like Scott from UTA! :p

You need to check Arch enemy with Angela ! It's a whole other level ! Angela is one of the OGs of the harsh vocals !! I would suggest any song from their Tyrants of the Rising Sun album (live album) any song from this show is A++++++

She did a mix of clean vocals and growls with her old band, The Agonist. Thank You Pain is a good example of her manic back-and-forth with herself in two (or three) different personas. The Agonist's current singer, Vicky Psarakis, is also pretty good, but is more like former Arch Enemy vocalist Angela Gossow - more controlled and technical. Angela is now a manager/producer, sometimes doing guest appearances (including with Amaranthe). I preferred Alissa with The Agonist, but all in all I feel all three singers are right where they should be at this point in time. (Oh, yeah... There's also that one time Alissa sang with Elize Ryd as they filled in for Anette with Nightwish... And later sang with Floor, Elize, and Tommy Kerevik of Kamelot on Nightwish's Last Ride Of The Day...)

I loved Arch Enemy w/ Angela, but I was just so taken with the change that Alissa brought that I almost can't even listen to old Arch Enemy anymore. Like, the quality difference is huge, and also, Alissa is just so much better to look at xD . Though, Alissa shines more on the newer material that was written w/ her in mind.

You should totally check out their former singer Angela Gossow too!! Try Nemesis or Ravenous live at Japan!!

Great that you gave another chance!! Haven't read all comments in all videos ( so not sure how many times this is been asked already), but I think it would be good time to check one more Finnish band: Children of Bodom, song "In your Face".

Now this is Arch Enemy. You should also try My Apocalypse with Angela (music video) or War Eternal from the same concert. Also Angela live Tokyo 2008 for example Ravenous. On other note Bloodred Hourglass - Quiet Complaint or Waves of Black. Have fun.

There are so many good ones. It's impossible to choose. The eagle flies alone is a simpler dm entry level song. You can literally pick anything else (except Reason to believe) and get a thrill. For live performances personally I love songs from the Wacken 2018 and Tokyo 2015 performances. The goosebump moments are just too many I lost count...

You have to see Angela Gossow... She is the best. Seriously, the best.

Oh man, Nemesis is one of those classic AE bangers. No shade on Alissa, she's a beast from hell it's just... well... Angela was the demon queen of hell. You should their live version of Nemesis from "Tyrants of the Rising Sun" and, bear in mind, this in the encore in that show. You'll see what we are harping on about with Angela, when she comes in on this song, she'll make your blood run cold.

Damn good reaction. 🤘

If you consider keeping reacting to them, "Ravenous" is their best song. Live, of course, Alissa or Angela.

I think “The World is Yours” is also a great song from the current band members.

I knew Chase would like her. Shes also a former Nightwish singer. 1 gig, 45 mins prep time, Alissa and Elyze Ryd sang to substitute for Annette, since she was rushed to hospital.

If you want to take at more Wacken live stuff, I highly recommend Blind Guardian - Bard's Song even though it's "just" acoustic. It's still one of the best live experiences I could think of from a band. (Blind Guardian - The Bard Song Wacken 2011 or Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016)

So you reacted to Kamelot last week. Go check out liar liar to hear Angela do clean vocals. Also... Kamelot.

Loving me some Jeff Loomis. Really miss Nevermore and Warrel Dane. 😢

Arch Enemy should always be listened to live, when it's an option. If you want to hear Angela this is Nemesis live :ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fS-YHJbmAXs.html if you'd like to hear Alissa switch between harsh and clean Thank You Pain: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_jud_SnKTlY.html

You want magical experience? Imagine howling a Guitar riff with the whole crowd. Yeah I had that happen with this song

Please do more AE! Latest album "Decievers" has a lot of amazing songs, like Handshake with hell, The Watcher, Deciever Deciever etc.! You will love it!

Great analysis dude! 🤘

The official music video for Bloodstained Cross. Do that next. Yeah yeah, it's not live, but damn, that is one epic song and to me it perfectly showcases what was great about Angela and why even to this day, with Alyssa being awesome, there is just something special about some of Angela's vocals that can't really be attained by someone else doing these songs.

You need to check new live concert from Lovebites. Here the the great song: Holy war, Swan Song, We the united

The songs they have before Alyssa joined are much better than the songs they've made since. The first song you heard was a song made after Alyssa joined while this was made before she joined and that's why it's much better.

I love this band! She also has a really good clean vocal😜🤘

You need to see Angela Gossow live in Tokyo.

Regarding the vocals: Love both, kinda grew up into my today metal me with Angela, but Alyssa had me at the first vocals of 'we will rise' back in Wacken 2000something (was it 2006?!) My reccomendations: 'bloodstained cross', 'we will rise' and 'my Apocalypse' (all avialable and amazingly performed by either of these ladies) and 'avalanche' from the newer material. Regarding the music and instruments: yes, it gives you a loving smack in your face, the power is great, the writing is so dense yet fitting! And also the athmosphere in a live crowd is amazing and an experience.

Arch Enemy - The World is Yours official video. You will love this even more than Nemesis

Joy...;)

Yup - it makes me emotional too, Chase. It's a message the world needs now. 🌎💪🤝❤️ And I would LET Alissa punch me in the face - but she's a gentle soul offstage. Did you see her chat with Floor Jansen on Floor's channel?

Oh man, nothing will beat the Live show in Japan with their previous singer. but stoked to see this song up here regardless!

George Kollias also does that feet swing

Hello. :) Thank you very much for your interesting videos. You pick out things that I had never noticed, like the imperfections in Highway Tune and the doubled vocals in Pisces. Your analyses have made me listen much more carefully to songs. I'd like to suggest the song "Madness" by Myrath for you. They are a metal band from Tunisia.

If you’re looking for some earlier material I love the track Ravenous, for much the same reasons Nemesis is an absolute banger.

Try We Will Rise. And I really do like the Angela version. Used it a ton back in the days when I was performing a Rock DJ (Thanks Robbie W.). But on the other hand, the Alicia versions Live are Astoundingly good, even better in my opinion.

You should definitely watch Angela perform Nemesis and We Will Rise from the Tyrants of the Rising Sun dvd!

Nemesis is there best song imo

This live version gives me always this good Metal vibe....😎🤘🔥

I love me some Arch Enemy! Glad to see you liked this one a lot more. "The Eagle Flies Alone" is not a bad song in my book but it's far from their best. From their older songs with Angela, I'd like to recommend "Mechanic God Creation." Probably not the song you'd see recommended all over the place but it's got a few mean riffs. A bit more mid-tempo but definitely a heavy song and it always really stood out to me. Also, literally just picking the first full songs off of Anthems of Rebelllion, Doomsday Machine, or Rise of the Tyrant would be a good call. They really knew how to open up those albums.

Another badass female vocalist to check out would be Vicky Psarakis, she's now the singer for the Agonist(Alissa's previous band), she absolutely kills it in their song In Vertigo(no live vid of good sound quality unfortunately, but studio version is amazing too) 😊

No other metal female singer compares to Rachel when she was in the band Sinister! Arch Enemy is for kids! :P

You have to check out Alissa's original band The Agonist, the song Panaphobia is one of my favorite songs. 😁

I've had the pleasure of seeing Arch Enemy live twice. Both times with Alissa, and after this performance. This performance was her still figuring the song out. The two times I saw her singing this, she had the song down almost perfect. If you get the chance, the whole album (Doomsday Machine) that Nemesis is from is worth a listen, as well as Khaos Legions and War Eternal (Alissa's first album with them).

Thanks for doing Nemesis and this version!!!!

The live version from Japan with Angela on vocals is the real deal, definitely another level. You gotta check it out. And “Ravenous” from the same show.

I recommend checking out the song "Pleistocene" from the upcoming album of "The Ocean". It is absolutly beautiful and has a lot to discover. I really would like to hear your thoughts on it.

You should react to Angela, the previous singer of Arch Enemy, a complete beast in stage

My freaking god the end of this song in Wacken is amazing ! I saw them in Montreal and it was really good and it makes me dive into memories too :) We are now goosebump brothers hahaha Your smile was priceless Chase :)

I love Arch Enemy the growls are brutal. I also love Amon Amarth and I see you have not gotten to them yet. You should react to Twilight of the Thunder God as a first experience

Chase..... welcome back Try: Arch enemy-handshake with hell Live or studio both are awesome
