@@METALBIRB I was soooo excited when I saw your first reaction to them! It's been my go to album whenever I'm looking for something heavy lately. Such an underrated band
This is actually the first album where he focused mainly on vocals. They have a new guy playing drums. He’s bad ass and he had an AMAZING mustache. I really feel like the vocals for this music is perfectly placed and performed because Donovan was able to really give his all vocally.
My brother's view on this band is a long one. He remembers hearing a lot of stuff that led to here. He specifically mentioned Circus Survive as you did, but also Chasing Victory and Fall of Troy. This band is amazing.
You gotta check out A Lot Like Birds, too. They've got kiiiind of a similar vibe and they're sooo good. Artifex Pereo is also great and fits in this kind of vibe too.
I saw them live twice. Once opening for Polyphia on their The Most Hated tour (Covet also opened; another sick drummer in that band). Hail the Sun was touring Mental Knife at the time. Then I saw them again on the Mental Knife headliner with Strawberry Girls and Royal Coda opening. Driving 5 hrs each way to see them both times. Would love to see more reactions from them in the future. They did hire a touring drummer btw. The guys name is Allen Casillas. He was the drummer for one of the opening bands, VIS, on their headline tour and then he has been playing with them a lot since. Allen has a glorious moustache in person and plays on their newest song as well. And live they switched off some songs. Donovan drummed a couple songs live, but was doing a lot more singing and moving around. His stage presence is very strong when hes not behind the kit.
I always had so much trouble getting into them over the past 5 years, but Domino absolutely blew me away and got me very hooked to them. Such a crazy good song and album
Allen is their live drummer, hes an incredibly sick and energetic drummer. He usually tours with em and switches off with Donovan on certain songs. His band VIS is sick too, everyone needs to check them out as well!
I believe that Donovan still does drums for the album, but the drummer in this video is their touring drummer. Incredibly talented dude. He plays drums for another extremely underrated Swancore band, VIS. Definitely check them out!
I'm definitely going to have to check this album out. This single really grabbed me. If you like this then you would really dig Dreamwell's new album Modern Grotesque. It's my favorite post-hardcore album of the year by far, and a major AOTY contender for me.
This whole album is absolutely amazing. There is also an instrumental version and it's so damn good too. So much you get to hear that you missed with the vocals layered on top. Check it out
The whole album is almost like an homage to At the Drive-In/Mars Volta, peppered with Circa Survive and a side of DGD. Super unique, and gets better with every listen. Album of the year
YEESSS FINALLY HAIL THE SUN GETTING THEIR WELL DESERVED RECOGNITION.
My 2nd reaction for them. But yes trying to spread the good word!
i guess it's kinda off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch new movies online?
@Gunnar Fabian Flixportal
@Julio Kylan thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!!
@Gunnar Fabian happy to help xD
This is easily their best album since "Wake." Some of the tracks give me some serious Mars Volta/Closure in Moscow vibes, especially "Misfire."
Man, I could not agree more. Honestly one of the best post-hardcore albums in years. Easily their best since "Wake."
Parasitic Cleanse was a good single from the album
My favourite off the album
Definitely think you should do an album reaction. This album is tied for my AOTY so far with Holding Absence and Pupil Slicer
Pupil Slicer with Holding Absence with Hail The Sun is so out of place but honestly same these albums are so good
@@crimsxnWulf lmao i know like i couldn't have chosen three more different albums
Pupil Slicer

Don't forget ERRA, that shit is a solid banger
Love their new record. Their insanely talented. Highly recommend checking out "Parasitic Cleanse" & "Punch Drunk" off the album.
Definitely do a full album reaction. One of my favorite releases this year!

Was on Apple Music and their wake album popped up fell in love after I heard rolling out the red carpet and been listening to them ever since
would love an album reaction i love this album
All about more Swancore on the channel. Thanks for including HtS.
In the video they have the live drummer playing, the singer Donovan still wrote the parts and played them.
I'd be down for the full album reaction. I really liked that you could hear the bass in the mix too. Not enough love for bass in mixes.
My brother's view on this band is a long one. He remembers hearing a lot of stuff that led to here. He specifically mentioned Circus Survive as you did, but also Chasing Victory and Fall of Troy.
This band is amazing.
Donovan is an INCREDIBLE artist. 💜 This band and that man so much.
4:55 I can't recall a post-hardcore band ever reminding me of Yes, until right there.
You gotta check out A Lot Like Birds, too. They've got kiiiind of a similar vibe and they're sooo good. Artifex Pereo is also great and fits in this kind of vibe too.

@@METALBIRB That's what I get for commenting before watching the whole video lmao
Artifex Pereo deserves more recognition!

Id definitely love to see an album reaction for this :)
Love the reaction man! Found these guys through Nik actually. Trying to figure that shirt out. thinking about it too much maybe.
Yeah album reaction for sure!
The whole album is absolutely wonderful, it would be totally worth it to make a full album reaction!
I always had so much trouble getting into them over the past 5 years, but Domino absolutely blew me away and got me very hooked to them. Such a crazy good song and album
have u heard Missed Injections or A Lesson in Lust?
@@moonsets-on_you I absolutely love A Lesson In Lust, haven't heard the other but I needa check it out for sure
@@KoaAbyss yess man been lovin "a lesson" recently along with Secret Wars EP.
@@KoaAbyss Another song by them I recommend checking out if you haven’t heard it is Human Target Practice
I'm sure you have listened to Nova Charisma before, since Donovan is their singer, but Boomerang is my favorite track of theirs.
I have!
This album is FILLED with bangers. tbh probably my favorite by them. full reaction please? :)
Great album and band, one of my favorite albums of the year so far!
Album Reaction is a must from the other Song that I heard... Loved this Track def listening more right now
Gives me The Mars Volta with some Circa in there vibe. Brings those good feels back!
Allen is their live drummer, hes an incredibly sick and energetic drummer. He usually tours with em and switches off with Donovan on certain songs. His band VIS is sick too, everyone needs to check them out as well!
This Band Is amazing! Hi from brasil!
Whole album is great
I believe that Donovan still does drums for the album, but the drummer in this video is their touring drummer. Incredibly talented dude. He plays drums for another extremely underrated Swancore band, VIS. Definitely check them out!

This track is banging

Did it on my first Twitch livestream! I'll announce the next livestream on all platforms so you guys can request your songs in realtime
@@METALBIRB Understood, thanks. Did you like the song?
@@disas6112 best Of Mice & Song I’ve heard! Wish I could have saved my reaction
@@METALBIRB Cool! I have the same thoughts about it, waiting for whole EP now
You should do an album reaction, I think you’ll like it but not love it. Album loses steam in the second half imo
Great song, great reaction.
Album is very good - Slander is an awesome song!
Meh. This just made me want to listen to ptv for
The whole album is almost like an homage to At the Drive-In/Mars Volta, peppered with Circa Survive and a side of DGD. Super unique, and gets better with every listen. Album of the year
I will pay for an album reaction
PARASITIC CLEANSE PLEASEEEEEEE
