"Whenever I hear this song I feel like I gained +5 IQ."
Shout out to the free thinkers
I guess I might've gained over 500 IQ by now then lol. Seriously though, everytime you listen to it, you pick up something new in not only this but any NeO song.
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me
Tim Charles is the violinist/clean vocalist and he's very talented. Marc "Xenoyr" Campbell is the harsh vocalist. This song has such complexities in it that it was actually picked up by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music to teach their students.
A short one, you say? Pretty sure all of their songs are at least 5 minutes haha.
Xen also writes 5years lyrics, does all the artworks and produced/directed the recent two video clips. Quite talented as well.😎
This man was about to have his entire existence being put into question by a 12 1/2 minutes song from the Clan Campbell. His constant repeating of "Hang on", "Hang on right there" or "I love that" could be an intro to a song and his Beyonce reference just provided imagery. Intra Venus next :) It's only about 7 minutes long.
I can just imagine him going off when both Tim and Benji do their guitar/violin duel 😉
Juliette you're always a class act 👌🙏🤲
😊👌
After Intra Venus he can go to Triptych Lux Part II. It's only like 16 1/2 minutes long 😎
I think you need a heavy dose of Opeth. Maybe Deliverance or Blackwater Park.
He's done ghost of perdition but more is always welcome 😄
I am all for both of those classics.
Deliverance or Harlequin Forest PLEASE!!!
Still Life listened in it's entirety best Opeth song -- fav of my teenage years
Please check out more of their stuff like Forget Not, Painters of the Tempest Pt.2 or Intra Venus (this one actually has a music video).
forget not, one of the best
I second Intra Venus
They study this song at the Conservatorium in Sydney. Bona Fide masterpiece. Xen has my favorite growl in all of metal! Glad to see you react to this one finally.
Oh wow! It finally happened! I have been waiting for this day since I discovered your channel when it was just a few days old. I hope you will listen to more of their stuff, they are so much more than just this song, that everybody listens to anyway. I suggest either Devour Me, Colossus - part 1 (for which sadly no music video exists) or the song Forget Not from their first album.
I am sure others will have other great suggestions (they have never recorded a bad song ;-) )
PS: This live version is wonderful, but please do yourself the favor and listen to the studio recording. You will be able to hear each individual instrument much better, their mix is always fantastic.
Oh yeah!
I agree with the studio versions but that is prog in general really but I always suggest this one live to the reactors though as there isn't much of them live and this is about as good as you can get and it shows they can play it all live as one of the first reactors I saw do NeO stated that he didn't think it would be possible...so much talent in one band and none of it wasted :D
Devour Me Colossus is a masterpiece for sure.
This band = 21 good songs no bad
It's worth pointing out just how insanely tight this live performance is. For such a complex song, they absolutely nail it compared to the studio version.
Yes, this is a very, very good rendition of the studio version.
Real performing artists
This song is studied at the Sydney conservatory of music for composition. Tim(violin) is classically trained. Benji(lead gtr) is from France and their new bassist(not in this video but just as good) is from Italy. The drummer, Dan Presland has a drum play though TH-cam video definitely worth checking out. Cygnus the bassist also has a play through. I’ve experienced them live 3x, they never disappoint. As good as they sound on video, there’s no comparison to live!
Yesss saw them tour with Wintersun and loved every second of both sets
Once in a while I need to be reminded how much I love prog. Never heard of these guys before but they sound fantastic.
Welcome to a new "Rabbit Hole"
The irony is Xen, the lead/harsh vocalist, has stated in multiple interviews that originally he hated prog metal. He's a black metal guy through and through and his background is there (as if his vocals weren't proof enough of that). But end of the day, the band just evolved into prog especially once Tim broke out the violin and the rest as they say is history.
Welcome. They only have 3 albums, but each has amazing tracks. My favorite of their works isn't even on an album, but on their EP Sarabande To Nihil. Upon the Tongue of Eloquence is the track, and it's beautiful
I wouldnt really even call em prog. They do have the long songs w time shifts, modal changes etc but they totally outclass typical prog bands
@@Zmej420BlazeIt Well that's what prog is. I think leaving it at extreme progressive metal is most accurate
you have to listen to Forget Not, its unreal. Plague Flowers is considered their best but for me its Forget Not.
Pyrrhic has a really interesting interlude too which I think is worth checking out as well
This isn't music you listen to; it's music you get lost into. Glad you picked the live version and enjoyed it! Great analysis as always
Despite the little "mistake" by the sound guy near the end and the mixing being far from awesome it's still a great perfomance
@@franciscoborjaescobarsuare5802 i'd hate to be the sound guy for their live shows.
@@jimz6850 Yeah but it's better than being the sound guy for bands like Eluveitie, Faun, Heilung or In Extremo
These guys are my favourite.
You should check out Eyrie and Devour me Colossus.
Also check out this band please. WILDERUN - O Resolution!- I think you will find them interesting also
for me Album of the year 2019- was Wilderun --Viel of Imagination.
Album of the Year 2018- Rivers of Nihil -- Where Owls Know My Name
Ah yes, these guys are so so talented. For me, listening to them is equal parts satisfying and exhausting lol. In the best way! Glad you found your way to them.
How gonna be on a music journey but do so little prog my man 😂😙 I know.. this whole thing has erupted into it's own entity now haha, my song for tanks sitting at two lovely thumbs up but that's the game 🤓
I'll get on it haha
I’ve never heard music so simultaneously chill and aggressive before. What a great unique sound.
I recommend the band Isis. They're one of the pioneers of Post Metal, and their music is all about the interplay between dreamy and heavy passages, and rising and falling action.
The bassist, Brendan "Cygnus" Brown is no longer with the band, following allegations of domestic violence. Apparently he was the victim of abuse for years, and is getting help. Abuse is cyclical, and men are victims too. Don't wrestle your demons alone, get help.
Nah he abused his girlfriend
This band is amazing, I was waiting for this reaction. Thank you! I highly recommend you listen to more Ne Obliviscaris, you're not gonna be disappointed.
Edit: I don't think they're a live band, although they're fantastic live. The songs are complex, busy, and the high quality of the mixing makes the studio version an another level of experience.
He’s great but, as a violinist myself when you hear, in the beginning when the note whines, goes off tone and goes quiet all I can think of is one of my tutors saying “MORE POWER! ROSIN YOUR BOW!” It tends to accidentally occur from not enough pressure or rosin on the bow strings to get a good enough grip on the string to make a smooth sound.. Like I said, I’m sure it’s purposeful, he’s very talented I could only get that accidentally or without the amount of control. Seriously skilled violinist.
Yes, I bet he's not going for clean classical sound. It sounds a bit dirty and decadent, which serves the song perfectly.
well thanks for that violin knowledge. clean vs dirty sounding violin. something i never would have thought about :)
Forget Not is another masterpiece by them. Definetely need to check out.
Also i need a reaction from you to this Chase :) I will list very special bands your channel needs a reaction and I KNOW that you will enjoy them. Probably some of them you know and not doing reactions because you know them but still i will try my chance if you don't. Here is the list of bands and their some "getting into" songs imo:
Tool- Sober(live). You must have heard of them but if not definete must.
Porcupine Tree- Anesthetize(live).
Dream Theater- Dance of eternity(live)
Liquid Tension Experiment- Acid Rain(live, Dream theater guys on their instrumental band)
These are all masterpiece prog bands and a must if you are not aware of them as i said. I hope you read this and answer because i know that you will fall in love with each one :) Have a nice day sir
*if Yellowcard taught us anything is that the violin can rock out.*
fan of this band for 5 years. so glad to see this reaction!
King Crimson were doing that in the 70's.
@@andrewcarter1747 I've never listened to King Crimson but now i know :D
Not sure how many other channels you watch, but garrettmillerdrums does a great review of a drum playthrough. Awesome video!
Great reaction. Very knowledgeable and on point.
I think you would really enjoy Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element, or People passing By.
Give this man some Rivers of Nihil; either Silent life, Home, or Where Owls Know my Name.
What about Subtle Change?
@@Y0gSogg0th Subtle Change too! The entire album is a banger. Personally AOTY 2018
My friends Vintersea opened up for NeO here in Portland OR. A couple years ago. We made front row center and we had never seen these guys before. WOW they were so good live!! If you ever get the chance.... SEE EM!! Love your channel!! Cheers!!
Very cool! I'll get them in the plan.
Vintersea is a great band. I found them recently and love their sound. They are very unique. That would have been a great show to see them with NeO.
Please listen to more Me Obliviscaris.
As well as 'Rivers Of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name'
Yes, i love their music... try "Intra venus"
Sooner or later, Ne Obliviscaris was gonna happen :-) Now if you want some king of less screamy and busy prog, go for Green Carnation playing "My Dark Reflections of Life and Death", live at Caledonien Hall.
I love the "hang on.... what's going on here?" as if it was some sort of illegal activity hahahaha
Thanks for the reaction! I was waiting for this one for a long time!
I'd love to see you react to FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE - The Violation official music video!
It was about time! This band is something else! Great Chase!
Finally!! It was about time you discovered this amazing band!! :) I've been a fan since their debut album, so since 2012, and I always recommend them to anyone who tells me they enjoy prog. You should also check out Forget Not and Intra Venus ;)
Intra Venus is next, is shorter and also very cool.
This reminds me a lot of very old songs by Kansas. That is a good thing for me! :D
A fellow Avs fan? Nice!... Also, incredible song
Ne Obliviscaris is awesome. Portal of I is an album I try to get everyone I know or meet to listen to. It's perfect, imo.
Oh, you had me laughing my ass off with the comment "Does he have the tightest vest on that's ever been made? Possibly. We don't know". Top shelf. Thank you sir
Being from Melbourne Australia, I can tell you with confidence that attending a Ne Obliviscaris concert is physically pretty equivalent to running a marathon while being punched in the face every hundred metres.
Wow.. never even heard of this band 🤯 I guess now I have song listening to do.
Finally somebody is acknowledging what the bass does in this song. For me the bass is what keeps the song together, especially at the start, when the other instruments change up quite a bit, but the bass gives a nice foundation and makes the song feel not disjointed at all, which is quite the achievement imo.
Yes! Finally! Liking before watching. So looking forward to this one!
Edit after watching: I love some of the moments in this reaction! Tightest vest ever, hips like Beyonce, a lot a lot a lot. 😆 They certainly are a lot and I have to be in a particular mood when listening to them, but their albums are among my favs to just put on and listen through the whole thing. Hope to see more reactions to them!
Thanks for the Colorado shout-out 😄 Go Avs! 🏒🏔️ And Broncos! 🏈🐴
Glad you enjoyed it! GO AVALANCHE!!!
Clearly phenomenal musicians. I usually favor more structured songwriting, but the mood sometimes strikes to just take in something that just finds a vibe and goes with it for a while. This sort of music is good for that. I must admit, I didn't feel like the harsh vocals really added anything here - I could have done without those. But otherwise I really enjoyed the song. Does anyone familiar with the band know if they have any songs that are more melodic?
They have some shorter instrumental tracks, which tend to serve as openers or closers to other tracks, but they don't have anything where Tim is the sole vocalist.
Their songs are generally long enough to take you through about 15 different mood changes per song though. So whilst you won't find a whole song with no Xen, you will find sections where he takes a bit of a back seat. Devour Me, Colossus is exceptionally melodic in its middle and end sections, but you need to get through the first 5 minutes to get there. Certainly worth it though.
I think you heard it right. Ive seen a few "interviews" of this song but none could explain the technicalities like you did. First ive seen of your channel but you seem like a serious instrumentalist. Im a guitar player of 20 years and could never play this song and you actually managed to say the reasons why its difficult
Thanks so much dude. Appreciate that. 🙏👌
must be my birthday.... my favorite metal reactor doin one of my favorite songs :D
I got you!!!
The "distortion" of the violin is just because it's impossible to prevent them from sounding garbage on anything other than the G string :/ (source: am violin player)
16:20 and that's just tremolo
You're the first person I've watched do a reaction that actually picks up that the violinist tremolo picks with the guitars. What a band.
Wow! Before vocals in I thought it is "Jethro Tull with violin instead flute" but then... sick Australians. Absolutely wild!
Unusual to have more than one left-hander in one band, Chase?
I can answer this one. 😂
Yes. Statistically, 1 out of every 10 people in the world is left handed. On top of that, a lot of natural lefties learn guitar right handed because left handed models aren't as commonly manufactured as right handed models. I think when I did this video I was surprised by more than one lefty as well.
@@TankTheTech Same thing with drummers. Chris Adler (formerly of Lamb of God) is a lefty, but plays right handed. If 1 out of 10 people are left handed, only 1 out of 10 left handed drummers actually play left handed. Wouldn't surprise me if that number actually is real :P
@@TankTheTech Hey is it me or does the lead guitar have a violin-like tone to it? How do they do that?
@@TankTheTech I'm a lefty too, but I had to adapt to use my right for most things.
@@TankTheTech we had a blind indigenous musician in Australia who was left handed and he learned to play a right handed guitar upside down and stayed with this technique for his whole career. th-cam.com/video/x8-YMpYbRqY/w-d-xo.html
Periphery Reaction! 😁
Killer bassline especially when that double bass kicked in. Very tight live performance!!
Oh shit, hadn't you done this one yet ?!
Finally this reaction! Excellent. I suggest you try next "Heilung - Krigsgaldr (LIFA Live)", very different approach to "metal" music.
You have no idea how happy I am you finally got to this song. Yeah it melted my brain the first time I heard it too.
Just insane
You are absolutely right. They're great on disc, but they're phenomenal live.
I love this band.
They're a band that I like to play at work when I need to focus on what I'm doing but want some intense music in the background.
I think Intra Venus is the other big song I've seen people react to and it's pretty good. Can't say I can really name too many more even though I've listened to a bunch.
Forget not
Even though we only have the studio version is one that I've watched a couple of reactions
Another one that I've watched people react to is Curator but I would not recommend that one, being only a part of a bigger composition "Painters of the Tempest"
For me, it would be like reacting to the We were here part from The Greatest show on Earth by Nightwish
Epica have a new song chase
Oh, is this where Chase looses his mind from stopping the video every time there is something awesome going on, which is every 5 seconds ?
Hey talk shit get hit
You may wish to consider Devour Me, Colossus Pt 1 for your next song, or Forget Not. In my opinion, Devour Me, Colossus is by far the better song
Both are 10/10 in my book, same goes for Painters of the Tempest Pt 2 and Of Petrichor Weaves Black Noise.
Listen to Libera pt I! You won’t be disappointed :)
I attended a concert in Colorado two years after this concert where they were the middle act before Wintersun. They were well received but not really to my taste. But then I am an old fart and had to use earplugs to save my already damaged ears throughout the concert. Wintersun was great live, though.
"eyrie" by this band, is unbelievable.
uuuuuuh now we're in the right corner
best opportunity to suggest "The Ocean - Jurassic" again
dude, please, this monster needs to be tamed ;)
THE OCEAN IS INSANE!!!
I def think hed like The Ocean. Not my fav band but definitely one of the biggest prog metal bands of the last couple decades
Surely tight vests and Melbourne go together?! Fantastic song and especially love their Black Metal blast beats.
Finally! Been waiting for this!
You should watch Intra Venus by Ne Obliviscaris, phenomenal and shorter
check out ne obliviscarsis - intra venus
its amazing
NeO must be one of the most underrated bands out there. I just bought their second album, "Citadel", a month ago and it's just amazing. Too bad there isn't a lot of high quality live footage of them.
I recommend their drummers (Dan Presland) channel, the production value is really good. Check out "Devour me colossus": th-cam.com/video/urVipHSdLO0/w-d-xo.html&app=desktop&spfreload=10 , and "Painters of tempest" : th-cam.com/video/Vrr51kisQhY/w-d-xo.html , although the latter is just the second part of the song, the best experience is to listen to parts 1-3, but there is no good video for it.
Hence why we've been requesting this group for months now. One thing to note, this isn't like one of those single songs that is the only song similar to it on an album. True, it's their most popular song, but they don't make short radio hits. Most of their songs are in the 7-10min range. And the only ones that are shorter are Pt 1 or 2 of a set.
Yeah, their albums all move around +/- 15% the level of intensity of this one. And they're flawless live too...
NeO is my favourite prog metal band if not favourite band in general. and im so glad other people are discovering them. I'm so glad you watched the love version and not the studio version
Ill say tho, ppl arent mentioning that this song has old school American vibes even tho its Australian. Its like a mix of American Folk, Metal, and Jazz. Very interesting.
Your shirt fits totally to the band....
NO = Ne Obliviscaris
My homeboys! 🇦🇺Yeah you need to work on the pronunciation just a little bit. We need more air violin action 🎻 Intra Venus has a nice music video.
Wow, I love your channel! 👍I have found so much new interesting music here, and your analyses are top class! Maybe you could react to some music from my favourite band The Von Hertzen Brothers. I think you would like it. Choose "New Day Rising", "War Is Over" or "Trouble" for example.
The Beyonce comment was pure gold. I actually thought he danced like Floor.
Man... Dan Presland really is one of the best drummers in the game right now. So overlooked
"A shorter song"
...ahhhhh....about that ....
NeO is one of those bands that I really hope more people get to experience, their work is phenomenal - and I hope they get the popularity and exposure they deserve. They're a local band for me, and I was introduced to them years ago when they opened for Soilwork - I think it's the only concert I've been to where I left needing to know who the opening act was, because I enjoyed them more the the main act (not a slur at Soilwork either! They were just so great live). The hardest part is remembering their damned name, I was lucky enough that one of my friends not only was there at the concert but already knew the band.
If you're curious, the drummer Dan Presland has a TH-cam channel where he show some of his exercises as well as practice sessions and some concerts from the GoPro and other drum cams - the mix is also more drum centric. Really impressive stuff.
Other songs. Well, this is my favourite by far. Though I think everything off Portal of I is brillaint. From other albums check out Eyrie (11 minutes), Intra Venus (7 minutes), Pyrrhic (9 minutes), Devour me, Colossus Part I (12 minutes), Of the Leper Butterflies (5 minutes), and Urn pt II: As Embers Dance in Our Eyes (6 minutes)
EDIT: Also the song Curator (5 minutes)
They're really a band where albums are important to listen to as a whole, I find.
If you're looking for something different, I can't recall if I've ever suggested Melting Sun IV: Jade Fields by Lantlos? I describe the album as a summer day dream...but metal
This is probably the first reaction you've done where I can honestly say the music just isn't for me. I still watched the whole thing because it's still so informative to hear how you break down things
Just admit you're a McDonald....lol
i can give a personal suggestion about this song.first time i listened to it it didn't hit me, i thought it was good but that maybe was not my kind of song. do this: lay down, turn off the lights, put the headphones and imagine a very passionate tango of 2 people dancing on the surface of the sea. let the song hit you when it gets heavier, you are gonna fall in love :)
I've listened to this song at least 100 times and I'm still finding new stuff. Chase, you did great. One thing I noticed this time is the bassist was carrying melody for the clean vocals towards the end (possibly the whole thing, but the bassist was ripping it throughout, so I digress).
Nice call David! Thanks for watching
This is right up my alley! Another gem found on your channel. Great reaction, as always.
Holy shit, this is amazing...
Chase that was a gorgeous reaction. I love Your face expresion. This song has a very complex structure (this whole video is a one song) and I'm so glad that You want to shear Your knowlege (I hope this video wasn't export four day). Maybe it's only me but guitar in the solo sound like a violin. Whole musicianship is fantastic. Dan Presland (drummer) do a great drumming video to this song.
This will be studied like Bach or Mozart in 100 years
Facts
Already is in Sydney.
May I suggest “Libera”? Both parts are pure genius!
8:15 : I've seen 3 or 4 first reactions to this song, and each one of you had the exact same reaction when the vocal kicks in lol
You gotta get back into the prog metal bands. Your missing out on so much great music. 👍
Fun fact... Wintersun and Ne Obliviscaris toured together (I think it was) in 2018 in USA.
Unfun Fact: I missed it.
Dude their style of showmanship is so funny to me, they all stand up front so you can see what each of them is doing. That’s a different kind of cool.
Me: “oh he’s reacting to Ne Obliviscarus, yes please” then every minute as he comments “but wait”... then such satisfaction as the next section kicks in.
Ne Obliviscaris is probably my favorite band I've discovered in the last 10 years. Pretty much every single song from their discography is amazing, but those that stand out in my book are:
Painters of the Tempest - Part II - Triptych Lux
Devour Me, Colossus - Part I - Blackholes
Forget Not
Of Petrichor Weaves Black Noise
Eyrie
Intra Venus
Forgot to mention, what a great analysis! Your musical knowledge is vastly greater than mine, so it's really nice listening to you breaking down the song structure. Keep it up!
Man, I was at this show! And this introduced me to this band! 🤘🤘❤
Wow, they are great. Thanks for sharing them.
Crystal Lake just dropped a brand new video for one of their newest tracks! Would love to see your thought on that, it’s quite a lot different to the last song you reacted to!
I love the music, but I just can't stand the screaming. I'm trying but it's just not for me.
That's completely okay. You gave it a shot and that's what matters.
i'm in love with this band... literally.
How many times can Chase be stunned in 12 minutes, a test........
That was not what I expected either. Good pick for the day though. Cheers!
should look into Uneven Structure- frost hail music vid
Not bad. Just need to work on your OZ pronounciation more with Julia hahaha.
Melbun!
