yes and no, Thall/Djent is a very specific scene, it won't influence other genre/band like Meshuggah did in the past for exemples. And sadly the majority of metalhead don't even know Buster but int the last years, he is probably the best composer i've heard about
After listening to this a couple of times i think i actually like this even more than Labyrinthian. It's not as in your face and heavy, but the atmospheric depth is top notch. Didn't fully comprehend during my first listen, but i think it might be one of my favourite songs by HLB.
I think ill agree with you on this as well. By the first listen, Labyrinthian got my attention right at the beginning, which then i started listening to it non stop. Instill on the other hand, i had a slow start to it, I didnt connect to it right away, but the more i listened the more i started feeling the song, so now i am almost liking this one better than Labyrinthian haha
I think I almost certainly like this more than Labyrinthian. The vibe of as you said "humanity's last breath" (as in they really live up to their name in vibe) is turned up to 11. Breakdowns are great, but this is just... making me feel something. I'm admittedly underdeveloped emotionally due to my childhood so I struggle to feel emotions in a lot of music but this sure made me feel... something powerful and epic.
After My first listen, I sat there in silence. To me, this is their best song. Incredibly atmospheric and oppressive. It has complex elements in a digestible song structure. The use of space in the instrumentation is masterful and adds a weight. If/when humanity has its last breath- it would sound like this.
I knew I had heard that choir before! Thank christ someone knew where it was from haha, would have driven me mad. This song is a grower for sure. By 3rd listen I was well on my way with it, a lot to unpack but this will go down as God Tier metal. 1 day later and this is absolutely the best song they have done.
I don't believe the choir vocals are a sample, they are sang by Heli Andrea based off a Bulgarian Folklore song "Kaval Sviri" and that is what she is singing I believe. Definitely recommend listening to it because it gave me intense chills!
The thall at 4:15 killed me lmaooo I love Labyrinthian but I prefer Instill. Feels so epic man, what a track! Album of the decade incoming on Aug 4th djentlemennnnn
1:54, this was my exact reaction. Props to Calle, Filip, Marcus and Klas.... but Buster Odeholm is changing the way music as a whole is mixed. Still completely speechless. THALL.
Aaaa haaaaa I seen you on the premier I was waiting for your reaction.... ALLLL ILL SAY IS OMFGGGG PPOOWEEERRR Right from the off I had goosebumps But yes need a load more listens pure goosebumps Steph 🇮🇪
This song was so amazing. When buster said he wanted to get rid of “happy” sounding stuff that’d mean less of the black metal influence but it appears I was mistaken. I love this song so much, this is what I want the whole album to sound like.
A 9 for me. This song just sounded so unique, while still clearly being HLB. They atmosphere they created was immense. Much prefer this kind of track to their last one.
I've always listened to metal, but the feeling that H.L.B causes me is something from another planet. It's by far my favorite band. So fu**** unique 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
The choir really is the icing on the cake here, man! If you want to hear the full song that it's sampled from, search up "Bulgarian folklor- Kaval sviri" and give it a whirl lol. This song is bonkers in the atmosphere it creates, though... Sheesh, man..
I kinda want to see Drew interviewed on a podcast. Or at lesst do like an AMA and tell us a little bit about your life and how you got into heavy music and started this channel. Much love 🤘
Recently I saw a comment that this track is just a wall of sound created in an unusual and unique way. Let's face it. Buster's work is a masterpiece. This is another level of listening to music. Another world that I missed. A world without hope, full of fear, eternal suffering. It is beautiful. Thank you for this review.
Was Buster's neighbour when he went to school. And my former band's bassist went to HLB. That said, Buster just rips and doesn't care what anyone thinks.
The choirs made me ascend, reminds me of the song "Irregular God" by Kevin Penkin which is a soundtrack from the show Tower Of God. It just sounds unearthly, Buster has done it again.
@@opushead Appreciate it, I love choir music like this. Absolutely stoked to see it incorporated in a band like HLB. Dödgud was fantastic because of it.
Song is a banger. I personally enjoyed it a lot but I might just be biased. I just love how cinematic it was and the structure felt very unique compared to the slightly more conventional one we got in Labyrinthian since it was more groove focused. Both are heavy as hell and I’m hyped for Ashen without a doubt. Also, I made it to the highlighted comments in the chat hahaha. 🤙
Seriously, Labrynthian was already really solid, but this blew it out of the water. I really hope this isn't my favorite track on the record, I hope whatever this sound is is the rest of the album.
So just a quick lil question senior, i realised u listened to the alphawolf albumn a while back, did u ever check out their ep with holding absense? If u havent its it sensual my brother, give it a go if youve got time 🙏🏻

Vildhjarta VS. HLB 🔥
Buster's importance to the metal scene cannot be overstated
10000% agree.
Yes, it can.
yes and no, Thall/Djent is a very specific scene, it won't influence other genre/band like Meshuggah did in the past for exemples. And sadly the majority of metalhead don't even know Buster
but int the last years, he is probably the best composer i've heard about
@@cerberus3504 buster? Is that CJ from San Andreas? 🤔
That man will clip all tracks in the mix all to hell and still end up with the cleanest and heaviest record known to man.
So, yes. I agree.
After listening to this a couple of times i think i actually like this even more than Labyrinthian. It's not as in your face and heavy, but the atmospheric depth is top notch. Didn't fully comprehend during my first listen, but i think it might be one of my favourite songs by HLB.
It sounds absolutely haunting, really fitting for a band with a name like Humanity's Last Breath
I think ill agree with you on this as well. By the first listen, Labyrinthian got my attention right at the beginning, which then i started listening to it non stop. Instill on the other hand, i had a slow start to it, I didnt connect to it right away, but the more i listened the more i started feeling the song, so now i am almost liking this one better than Labyrinthian haha
Labyrinthian sucks bro. This is the best song from the album
soundtrack for the end of the world
been saying the same for years
i mean check the bands name
Vildhjarta is the soundtrack for the rebuilding of the world then
I think I almost certainly like this more than Labyrinthian. The vibe of as you said "humanity's last breath" (as in they really live up to their name in vibe) is turned up to 11.

The choir sounds Bulgarian to me
@@mannyblackstar That´s because it is.The title of this is "kaval sviri". Video on yt.
Not a single word yet so much reaction, they got me speachless as well :D
I don't believe the choir vocals are a sample, they are sang by Heli Andrea based off a Bulgarian Folklore song "Kaval Sviri" and that is what she is singing I believe. Definitely recommend listening to it because it gave me intense chills!
I think this might be the best thing they've done. Objectively the most sonically complete. Melodic, melancholic, epic, brutal, beautiful.
The dissonance and shifting in tempos within this track just send me. This album will be huge.
The thall at 4:15 killed me lmaooo
I love Labyrinthian but I prefer Instill. Feels so epic man, what a track!
Album of the decade incoming on Aug 4th djentlemennnnn
1:54, this was my exact reaction. Props to Calle, Filip, Marcus and Klas.... but Buster Odeholm is changing the way music as a whole is mixed. Still completely speechless. THALL.
it sounds so powerfull like it can destroy mountains and i love it...great reaction🤘
The ambience got me ascending to Valhalla.
*Vildhjarta
@@caixiuying8901 yes

Descending to hell 🤘🏻
Aaaa haaaaa I seen you on the premier I was waiting for your reaction.... ALLLL ILL SAY IS OMFGGGG PPOOWEEERRR
Right from the off I had goosebumps
But yes need a load more listens pure goosebumps

Humanity casually looking to drop the heaviest AOTY
I love that Bulgarian folk choir music finally gets the recognition it always deserved.
ThallCore 🔥🔥
Twas fantastic
6:20 I knew those choir type vocals sounded familiar, its indeed also in that Aviana track man thats sick, this song is wicked heavy as well
It's a hungarian women's folk choir. Look it up on youtube, it's actually really beautiful on it's own.
@@antnybeard69 Bulgarian actually, lol. The track is called Kaval Sviri, taken from Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares Vol. 2

The quire is bulgarian traditional folklor music
Bulgarian folklor- Kaval sviri
This sounds like end of the fucking world. Love it.
Bruh HLB vs Masstaden is going to be absolutely wild
The choirs made me ascend, reminds me of the song "Irregular God" by Kevin Penkin which is a soundtrack from the show Tower Of God. It just sounds unearthly, Buster has done it again.
It's bulgarian folklore, the name of the piece is called 'kaval sviri'.
@@opushead Appreciate it, I love choir music like this. Absolutely stoked to see it incorporated in a band like HLB. Dödgud was fantastic because of it.
Bro the breakdown never gets old holy shit it fucks me raw every god damn time
This is a new level of brutality.!!
Let the world sing in despair. ♥
Buster's bends give me goosebumps on the low strings
Song is a banger. I personally enjoyed it a lot but I might just be biased.
I just love how cinematic it was and the structure felt very unique compared to the slightly more conventional one we got in Labyrinthian since it was more groove focused. Both are heavy as hell and I’m hyped for Ashen without a doubt.
Also, I made it to the highlighted comments in the chat hahaha. 🤙
I appreciate the fuck out of your physical reactions. You perfectly embody how a lot of us feel when we hear this shit.
It's great to always Thall in Love again. 🥰
ashen is gonna be TOTY. thall of the year.
This is a lot better than Labrynthian
Seriously, Labrynthian was already really solid, but this blew it out of the water. I really hope this isn't my favorite track on the record, I hope whatever this sound is is the rest of the album.
This was amazing
can you even get more heavy than this? holy shid. 9/10 for me the only thing that throws me off is blast beats. regardless. jfc.
Bought the box set because of this song alone
right behind you
I can swear on everything thats holly for me that those female choruses are Mistery of Bulgarian voices ❤
So just a quick lil question senior, i realised u listened to the alphawolf albumn a while back, did u ever check out their ep with holding absense? If u havent its it sensual my brother, give it a go if youve got time 🙏🏻
you know when the music gives you the same face as the Train enjoying dude, that you like the music
This song made me feel like hell
That dissonant riff and choir feels very black metal and I'm aaaaall about that shit 😫
BULGARIAN CHOIRCORE
this song is a mouthful of thally peanut butter. THICCCCC
Some people seem to think the choirs are sampled, but they were actually recorded by the very talented Heli Andrea :D
🤘🖤
The whole song is a permastank face 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
The production is a piece of cake. If only the vocals would have been a little louder.
The visuals is also next level for this video
THALL
тнагг
Aviana thaaaats where I’ve heard that before
bustercore
this sample angel chorus in the background at the beginning sounds EXACTLY like the breakdown in the song Paradox from Aviana hmmmmmmmm same sample?
Instantly what I though of when I heard it too. INSTANTLY! (2:20-2:53 of Paradox by Aviana ft. Marcus Vik for those who are curious)
Check out Bulgarian Folklor-kaval sviri. It's wher the sample came from
Yeah we sussed it out in the stream. Paradox -Aviana and Instill use the Bulgarian Folklor song @AturnerC mentioned
got some Brutus vibes
Kinda reminds me of demon slayer tbh 🔥
Yeah this track was really underwhelming
What??
You’ve got to be joking
Just an ordinary Attention seeker lol
@@dewaalvandercolff251 This track was really underwhelming
@@echo-optics6154 Maybe in another life, sure but not in this one unfortunately
Some 300 type shit again 😩🤯😡
