This Is What I NEEDED! Invent Animate "Without A Whisper" Reaction 

‘The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was’ is(in my opinion) one of the most emotion provoking song(s) that any Metalcore band has created(From what I’ve been exposed to anyways). Of course, it’s simply a game of opinions and I respect you being honest about yours as always. Butttttt, to me that song is just an absolute swell of emotion from start to finish & I’m so happy they Implemented some more of those beautiful vocal melodies into this track as well✨ Keep up the good, honest work brotha 💜

Marcus just keeps showing us that his vocals have gotten better and better with each release, and their songwriting is top notch, so far Periphery will be tough to beat but Heavener is gonna be a contender for AOTY when it releases

this song really gets me in my feels. Invent Animate is something really special and I cannot wait for the album. every song has been amazing and well written. so captivating

WHAT A TIME TO BE AN IA FAN! ALBUM OF THE YEAR. LETS NOT FORGET HOW UNDERRATED KEYTON IS

This song gave me big the dark pool by Thornhill vibes mixed with a Northlane Obsidian drum beat, and it can't really go wrong for me from here 😂 their best song for sure

“Luna” is still my favorite Invent Animate track. Can’t get over the story with that one. This is also my favorite of the 4 singles because it’s just so cohesive. Every decision they made was perfect. Also, Marcus is rightly going to get a lot of praise here, but can we take a second to appreciate the DRUMMING?! 😱

Could be my favorite Invent song. It has everything. Beautiful singing, gutturals, heavy chugs and also some alt-rock vibes at the start.

Immolation of Night still my favorite new song, but this was damn good. Future of metalcore right here

Incredible progression in their songwriting skills. That post-breakdown bridge into the raspy croon into the higher falsetto note. Markus was hitting a lower-octave version of the falsetto at the beginning of every previous chorus, but they held the bigger moment until the end for more impact. Bravo. I love Heroine and I love the Dark Pool, but if Thornhill was going to go for the more shoegaze-y sound this is how I wish they did it. Still melodic, ambient, and emotional but lots of technicality still.

Best single for sure

Now i need a Split Ep of Holding Absence and Invent Animate :) Honestly this song is now my favorite. I can't choose which is the best out of 3 other singles though, it's very hard because of difference... This band has got everything that i love about this genre. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲 is a very good modern metalcore song and honestly it's very unique, like i've never heard anything like this before personally. 𝐄𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐮𝐦 has the best chorus in my opinion and i really enjoy it. 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 sounded like early Northlane to me, but at the same time it got that Silent Planet vibe and still unique in it's own way. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫 sounds like if Thornhill is mixed with Holding Absence and some Northlane-like stuff, but way more emotional.

This would be my favorite song so far but used to be “as if it never was” by invent animate

I’m glad you said it so elegantly. I had the same issue with Sleep Token at first where I just couldn’t get why people love them so much. Then it took one single to make it all make sense. This IA song is the one for me too that checked all the boxes to really feel that shit and captivate. Great reaction!

Very very simple song when you break it down. That chorus just sends it over the edge.

I'm new to this band, but this slaps! This album, new Periphery, Sleep Token, The Ocean, this year will be great!

I've had a Dark Pool itch for the past 2 years and this song fucking scratched it for me. It's feels like getting hooked into my emotions and it's fucking unreal. I hope they do more of this in the future, it's such a good sound.

This is my favorite song from them with Marcus 100%. I feel like this is THE song from them I'll be able to have on constant repeat.

that chorus is everything

One of my favourite IA songs is definitely Cloud Cascade or Elysium. The lyricism, the musicality and range is just beautiful. This track floored me. Marcus's vocals have been getting better and better and this was truly his final form and solidifies what he's capable of, absolute solid track and I'm so glad they released this before Friday as a single... Bring on Heavener! 🔥

I hope this new record will put them on a pedastal this year. These singles are that good!

Even if for some reason you try to find a way to not like this song, you can't help but appreciate the emotional presence Marcus brings vocally and lyrically how well this whole album was written and specifically this song. Felt this one in my heart and will always hold a special place in it.

I feel you man. I’ve honestly never been a fan of Invent Animate either but this one right here. This one is special 💪🔥

In reply to your review: I totally get where you're coming from bro! I absolutely adored The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was, but I've never really been hooked with any of their previous work. Immolation of Night I thought was SUPER overhyped. So many people saying it was like the best song they've released, the heaviest they've done, etc. and I just wasn't impressed with it AT ALL. This song is a lot more like The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was, and I love it all the more for it (aka, I actually enjoyed this one). I desperately hope to love the new album like that EP (Which by the way was my #1 release of all of 2021); if the album trends more towards this style, it'll finally win me over in a way their first 3 albums never worked for me.

Their entire first record is my favorite by them. It’s crushing both I emotionally and instrumentally. I go back to it often. Keep up the good work my guy 🤘🏾

Seeing them tomorrow night!! Can't wait, LETS FUCKING GO!!!

I really enjoyed this song and your energy in the video:) And yea it might be my favourite IA song too, however I am not sure yet. By far I'm gonna go with the whole ep, but especially 'As If It Never Was'

Even tho I love every song they have ever made this is def my favorite, the song apparently is about losing a grandparent which just adds to the emotion! Can’t wait for the album!

I think I prefer shade astray and immolation of night but still a really solid track, the chorus and the heavy elements mixed in with the chill will definitely be a grower... Actually on re listen this fucks, can't wait for the album!! My favorite Invent/Animate song would have to be either The Sun Sleeps or Shade Astray

your reaction was so pure, great review

This is gonna be a toss up for album of the year between these guys and Sleep Token for me! I’m soo excited for this album

I love the Thornhill vibes here. Got to see them live opening for Erra. I hope they start headlining for the new album soon 🤟🤟🤟

This record and Currents are gonna take this year for me, I understand you werent too fond of Currents - Remember Me but that song for me is like this song for me, just vibey and emotional and these records are gonna floor me

Oh man! I’m on the same reaction opinions as you birb. I always sort of liked this band but also thinking maybe they are just overrated to me. But this song is changing my thoughts on them as a whole.maybe it’s the shoegaze… probably the shoegaze lol I love these new metal gaze sound the past few years. Such a good song!!

This is my second time heading Without a Whisper and it's so beautiful; i'm very excited for Heavener. as far as my favorite Invent Animate song, it would have to be Elysium; it may be recency bias but that song just has all the elements i love in a song that is heavy musically and emotionally.

I rarely cry because I straight up hate it but this song always makes me cry. Most likely due to the incredibly sad topic of the song, mixed with the rush of doomed memories that force themselves into my head like ink into a water cup. It definitely is overwhelming at times. Crazy how the notes and mix channel such cathartic emotions that were often left buried completely.

Saw it live 2 weeks ago in the UK, so goooood

First time hearing them so can’t say I have a favorite..well this one so far .. I would like to hear more...don’t know anything about them so wondering any songs I should start with?🖤💜🤘🏻Thank you!😊

This song just makes my inner soul fucking happy. Just happy. It’s so goddamned good it makes me happy

Came bc of the title of your vid, stayed for the SICK track, never heard these guys before thank you for the exposure man

my favorite IA song is an oldie but a goodie. Its off their album "Stillworld" and its called Agora. I think this is a great track and I enjoyed it much more than Immolation of Night (though that song is fine). Overall I think this album is sounding great based off the singles, so I'm excited for Friday

This new song is beautiful, exactly what I needed from IA, very anxious for the new album on Friday!!!

The sun sleeps and Luna are my favorites!

God I still think cloud cascade is my favorite of theirs, solely cause that riff is soooo intoxicating lol. Friday can't hurry tf up fast enough man

My personal breaking point for this band was the EP, and then afterwards i really felt in love with their older albums :) and the live show was sick

This is a BANGER - totally agree with you. Finally for me.

Holy 💩 I love this new side and this will take them even more places! Been a fanboy since everchanger an this is a str8 banger! Great review and is if Friday yet?! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Just beautiful

These guys hit it out of the park on this album!!! 🤘🔥

So good. Shade Astray is still number one for me but this is a VERY close second. 10/10 song, so melodic

this is such an incredible song I wish more of their discography was like this.

I'm seeing them live friday, together with Erra, Silent Planet and Sentinels. And after this single I can't wait! I've listened to their older albums but after this single it just clicked.

THIS might be my fav song this year!! :O Only Sleep Token might be able to do something about that :P

Man it's gonna be so difficult to choose between Sleep Token and Invent Animate for AOTY... those 2 bands are just the best this year but I can't say one is better than the other, cause they're so different

I'm torn between False Meridian or Purity Weeps being my top tracks on this album, especially being a drummer myself.

I couldn’t agree more, I’ve been struggling to get into them but this and Shade Astray are constantly on repeat for me

It’s crazy how much I love this album I have always listened to invent animate but this album definitely hits different. I just told a friend today that as far as new albums go I think this one tops Periphery V and I love that album.

Huge sounding track!

"You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention."

I enjoyed Immolation of Night. This one missed for me. I think when they go big on the ambience is when they shine.

I thought Shade astray was going to be my fav track from heavener then they released elysium and I thought elysium was going to be my fav track cause there is no way they release something even better and even more filled with emotion right ?... without a whisper is my favourite track can't wait for the album

Literally one of the best songs ive ever heard

Either when the Sun sleeps, or Luna. Mostly because the emotional ties to suicide. Once you realize that Luna is about losing a brother it hits like a Mack truck.

never comment but love you metalbirb

Was supposed to be seeing them today along with Silent Planet and ERRA, but the London tube staff decided to walk out and fuck those plans up.

this song is such a vibe

Maybe it's just me but I feel like I can totally hear Landon Tewer's production influence on the vocal direction and style

Honestly, I felt the same as you with greyview and their ep. I just didn't get excited like everyone else did. But these new singles just SOLD me.

I agree I could never get into them at all until this song. If they leaned into this exact sound they would easily be the best Metalcore band.

Beauitiful HEAVY - PERIOD

It's hard to pick a favorite, but this one is way up there. The new album is a gem for me after listening through it front to back. This one just hits the mark though. I agree 💯

this is one of the best songs I've heard in years

Best song of that year hands down

Completely agree

saw them live a couple days ago, kind of annoyed they didn’t play this one since it’s so damn GOOD but they killed it otherwise ! I think this might be my favourite invent track since everchanger if I’m honest. it’s got a loathe vibe to it !

I really agree with your take on IA. The technical ability has always been there, but their songwriting was their weak spot. At times, ERRA had this same issue. That's why ERRA's newest album, in my opinion, is such a strong add to their discography; they seem to have really dialed in their songwriting, but still showcasing all the technical ability. Hope IA does the same with their new album, from the singles, sounds like they are

This is the most beautiful song I’ve heard since Holding Absences newest album

I am living in the future O_O

Without a Whisper might be my favorite song they've made. Purity Weeps and Absence Persistent are also very good

Beautiful song 🥲❤️

Elysium is still their best song imo

I love invent and they can do no wrong

Huge Holding Absence vibes with the music video. Marcus and IA finally figured it out. Took some time for the change but this album should be great.

Yo!!! Event Animate went solid with this track, everything is in this track and Vocals kicked my @$$... why do i feel so damn emotional like I just played Final fantasy remake ooooo they made the Playlist

Listen to false meridian... Guarantee you'll love the track caus it's riff city from the start

Elysium is still my favorite

Dude, this band is a complete masterpiece and their new album is probably going to be in my top five this year sweet token had a phenomenal album and I love acres burned from Web then new album and these guys will probably be number three but we still got plenty more albums to go this year from other bands and still got a EP’s too but this band they always write phenomenal beautiful music and they are in my top five favorite bands ever on my list they just get music right an imminence there in my top five to call them guys write beautiful music to but I’m looking forward to invent animate new album Friday an l loved this song to an Invent animate reminds me of the band ERRA too another band in my top ten too bro 😎

You need to react to the whole album, Purity Weeps is so good too

I never was that much of an IA fan either until they started dropping the singles from this album. I had a handful of songs by them I liked, but I never got hooked completely. I'd say my favorite song by them is "Dark" from their Greyview album. That one always hits me in the feels--- but I think "Without a Whisper" just became my #1

This album will easily be in the top 5 of the year along with ST’s album

Since ive been on ERRA show with Invent Animate as support(last april), i actually enjoyed their set better than ERRA's. Fan ever since. They are amazing live too

Midnight Hymn

Holy shit.

2 words: cinematic chorus, that's what they should focus on!

If I’m being completely honest, I, myself, am missing IAs technicality here. Hear me out - I think Greyview and back, for me, being an IA fan since Naturehold, had better and more fresh songwriting. Their new stuff, while I love it so much, does make me a tad nervous (any change makes me feel this way and I just gotta warm up to it). To me they’re stuff prior sounded more heavy and more ambient. But like my opinion is different than MBs, and all the rest of us, you can this comment with no qualms bc it’s just how I’ve perceived IAs journey! Super pumped about the new material and am 10/10 digging IA, regardless of any input i may have cooked up inside lol

Heavener is such an amazing record front to back. The band has never really been for me, super talented, just not for me. But this new shit is SOOOO FUCKING GOOD. There’s too many bangers to not just have the whole thing on repeat

Could not have said it better myself. I was always feeling like something was missing with the band. This song is easily the best invent Animate song I have ever heard!

How come Marcus's vocals make my eyes sweat??

Can Trey even see the drums 😂

this song is hot

"Without a whisper" first section of vocals homie is whisper singing
