THE EVOLUTION OF BREAKDOWNS!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- I discuss the evolution of the best breakdowns in metal, metalcore, deathcore, etc, including:
* The origins, with bands like Bad Brains and Agnostic Front
* How thrash metal bands like Slayer's "Raining Blood" and Pantera's "Domination," and then groove metal bands like Sepultura and Machine Head added to it
* The next evolution with NWOAHM bands like Killswitch Engage, God Forbid and Chimaira
* How metalcore bands like Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack, Norma Jean and Eighteen Visions evolved breakdowns
* Trends like breakdown callouts, bass drop breakdowns, and crabcore
* The rise of djent via Meshuggah's "Bleed," who influenced bands like Veil Of Maya and Born Of Osiris

Hey Finn
PART 2!!
Finn as always thank you for giving love to Demolisher.
a lot of your videos make me want to start an "old school" metallic hardcore band again...
But with breakdowns :D
Ah the power of nostalgia!
Have you watched Hypa Hypa from Eskimo Callboy yet? Its been probably the most reacted video in the past week or so. Those breakdowns are damn glorious.
Disclaimer: No surroundings were disrespected during the making of this video.
haha
All were and will be upon viewing, however.
I did fucking bow down to this thorough analysis though
Hahaha. Safe Spaces for everyone
Tell that to my moms living room
I too am into breakdowns. I have one about once a day
Wow you must be pumpin out the albums
🖤
My car likes to breakdown too
yeah, mental breakdowns are the heaviest of all
Bravo, well played. 😂
"Hell yeah, brother, f*ckin' Pantera!" I almost fell out of my chair. We all know that guy.
I am that guy.
@@DavidDantePhoenix me too. I will still fuckin rage to Pantera on the way to the grocery store
If you from Texas and even closer to Arlington in your late 30s and older you might be this way
I am that guy
Me too....glad to see my fellow pantera bros around.
Damn bro we're on the same playing field, I almost feel like we grew up the same. You were so spot on with everything. I grew up in San Bernardino / Riverside California in the early 2000's so I experienced a lot of the OG deathcore / metalcore bands first hand, most in this video. I loved it man !
CHEAHHH
I grew up there in my teens!!
socal baby
Whhhhaaat derek watches this guy!
on the same playing field until you found out he likes little pump
While productivity has dropped for most of us during this pandemic, Finn Mckenty is on a roll.
The people need breakdowns now more than ever!
You gotta understand, Finn lives his life on a schedule. He eats the same thing every day because he thinks having to think about food is a waste of time. He does not fuck around.
@@Dethrider6 It's because schedules come in charts
@@hrotha You can actually divide schedules up into a diagram with four different zones
@@Dethrider6 i wanna know if this is true
Seems like Finn needs to make his own “top 10 brutal breakdowns that’s will disembowel any listener”
It’ll be trash. He will find old eps from local show bands nobody ever heard of bc he’s so cultured (really he just does internet research to make it sound like it) and it will be terrible quality but he will say this is what started everything we know. He once said wage war and limp bizkit were basically the same now. I hate this guy.
@@alexgriffith1451 boohoo
It would get copyright striked lol
@@alexgriffith1451 I'm starting to get that vibe from him. He has said so many false facts lately and I'm close to unsubscribing. Hell, he got so many things wrong in this video alone, it blows my mind.
BROOTAL
The synth breakdown is in part due to Enter Shikari's debut, their use of synth really changed the game
They suck tho...
Definitely agree. SORRY YOU’RE NOT A WINNER
The devil wears prada are the real synth heroes
@Dustin Wunder Enter Shikari is fucking bomb. Have you not heard Hoodwinker??
MY WIFES A BOAT
Honestly, Pantera mastered the breakdown with Domination. Also I love the breakdown in “Instinct” by Decapitated
Yeah
Walk has a good one as well.
and that part of primal concrete sledge that sounds like lamb of god, he'll yea
honestly I think its lamb of god with laid to rest
Breakdowns are lyfe
No
Yassss
yup
Nik Nocturnal yes
Whats the breakdown at 1:33?
The breakdown in metallica's "one" is my favorite old school breakdown, also the first one I ever heard
I think his age made him miss a lot of great before his time breakdowns.
Completely agree. That entire record is heavy as hell. One of my all time favorites as well.
Justice for all is such a good album!! I was listening to that album at work today. The track shortest straw in particular has some really kickass riffs & drums going on. So good
One's breakdown never gets old. I still turn up the volume every time I hear it
@Strength Beyond Strength legit hearing it as a kid for the first time was life changing
The mid 00s to the early 10s was by far the greatest era for breakdowns and discovering new bands from compilations.
I was the lucky person who recorded that guitarflip fail at 08:30 . I directed a music video for a young band called Flames to Burn (wtf that name...). The whole shooting was super cheesy but that accident was the highlight of night. Good to see it again.
Ha! Amazing
A guy hitting himself in the nuts with a guitar is probably the most metal thing I've seen in years 😅
@@skippy8696 The most CORE thing!!!
That's whatcha get for doing corny trendy shit. 😆 "Metal-core" bands that came out after 2003 suck. It started to get all of these emo and 80s hairband asctetical elements. Now it's became what 80s hairbands were....A corny trendy subgenre that went on waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long. I knew that shit was gay when my sister who had never listened to metal a day in her life asked me if I knew "bring me the horizon". 😆. Death core too. I play and I know dudes in both death and metal core bands and everything they do just sounds like rewritin b.s because theyr trying to fit in that box so bad. Imagine if new hair metal bands were still coming out in 2005... Not the satire/parody like steel panther either. Like dead serious tryna use that old formula/template for success 25yrs later. That's basically what anyone claiming that genre now is doing. 😆. I love telling other musicians "I just play Rock man" and then when we meet up to play,Im running a V through a duel rectifier. Tuned down 2or3 full steps doing sweeps and lighting fast alternant picks. It's all just rocknroll dude. Things only have to go in a box if you like creative ability. I allso like saying "ah,I just play music". Throws them unoriginal ones off. They be like "Right but what box are we trying to fit into?". 😆.
Damn I imagine filming that was nuts
Are you even Metalcore kid if you haven’t watched a 240p TH-cam breakdown compilation with Windows Movie Maker stock title cards?
How I found most bands back in the day
AILD, parkway drive, one of them even started with an Animals As Leaders riff and that's how I got into prog
ADTR's Homesick breakdowns still hit me right in the heart.
Their only good album. lol
"Mr Highway's thinking about the end" ahh brings me back🤘
@@bradcallahan3546 For Those Who Have Heart was decent, but Homesick is definitely their best work.
The top 5 hardest breakdown albums by me are....
August Burns Red - Messengers
Parkway Drive- Horizons
As Blood Runs Black - Instinct
As I Lay Dying - Shadows are Security
Evergreen Terrace - Wolfbiker *bonus* Haste the Day- Burning Bridges The Ghost Inside- Returners
@@bradcallahan3546 Your opinion
Internet: Architects invented the "BLEGH"
Abbath from Immortal: Am I a joke to you?
Never understood why Architects got credited as the band that invented that vocal effect considering how many of their peers were doing it for years beforehand
Parkway drive also says hi
The sun no longer rises. Thats a good ol Immortal song.
wait do people actually think that architects invented the blegh
sodom says hi
*Hatebreed's "Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire" laid so many templates for catchy simple breakdowns. Still have a lot of those breakdowns stuck in my head.*
*CONCEIVED THROUGH AN ACT OF VIOLENCE!*
Summary: James Brown invented D-jent and is the father of all Cores.
The GODfather of all Cores.
We can handle this truth.
Not crabcore
When he said "hit me" or "to the bridge" you knew it was about to go down.
Browncore.
This is interesting to this 63 yr old female. Wow just is interesting to see how Music and technologies and know how has changed and evolved. Wow it's like every thing is "moving " so fast now" the Sound is dated within a year. To me this is definitely a part of life today and how it seems to be "fast and extreme" all I can say is Wow! And thanks for the breakdown of the breakdown! And its evolution.
I'm 44 years old and have trouble keeping up with the changing music scene.
Gotta love metal grandmas
@@natalieshannon7659 I'm 35 and have been having trouble keeping up with the changing music scene for 10 years.
This is the most adorable comment ive ever seen.
3rd trimester here. cant keep up with the changing music scene...
This is the best Microsoft Excel tutorial I've ever seen
The devil wears Prada- still fly got me into breakdowns
Lmao, i love that shit.
Same here
Age 12: finds every thrash metal breakdown I can
Age 15: finds every metalcore breakdown I can
Age 17: finds every bass drop deathcore breakdown I can
age 19: finds every late 00’s hardcore punk breakdown I can
age 22: finds every slam beat down breakdown I can
age 25: finds every mid 90’s obscure hardcore band breakdown I can
age 28: finds every early brutal New York death metal breakdown I can
age 29: finds every early 80s punk pioneering breakdown I can
THE HUNT NEVER STOPS
I'm currently in the search for mid 90's obscure hardcore band breakdown phase. But 2 years late. I'm 27..lol.
Try going to a show you douche
@@jminorthreat he would if the corona wasn't a thing.
The Born Of Osiris "fUcKin BoW DoWn" breakdown was a big one for me.
Mark Wrenn YESSS DUDE
it's not a breakdown it's the intro riff
@@GRisaWasteofTime oh thank God you came to correct me!
Classoc
@@markwrenn5965 really glad to help you out man!
Surprised August Burns Red wasn't in this video, good none the less.
no suffocation
Composure.
Eve of the end , the seventh trumpet
Because we’re not 13 anymore
Greg I agree early ABR breakdown just hit different.
Pantera -Domination will always be my favorite break down. Gojira - space time is a close 2nd
Meshuggah: Future Breed Machine a close second too
Do not forget Machine Head - Davidian!
Gang
Space Time by Gojira destroys. It's got that beautiful vocal pattern as well. Clone by Gojira also has a sick breakdown at the end, and it keeps getting slower and slower, and then they drop right back in to the original tempo.
Domination breakdown is still the best one for me, this is why I get happy when bands rip off that breakdown
We’re “Core” Kids, born in and of the breakdown, Finn, of course we want part 2.
Damn no love for Unearth? I was a total metal kid into death metal and obsessed with In Flames and in 1999 when I heard Unearth was the first time I kinda learned what a breakdown was since Trevor literally yells "BREAKDOWN!" right before a breakdown and well, they write entire songs out of them haha. Love me some chuggy chugs thanks to Unearth.
“Breakdown” #1 breakdown call
The breakdown in Suite Pee by System of a Down will always be one of my favorites
Agreed. Is simply great.
'Cause everyone needs a mother
Hell yeah
That first album is just fucking 👌
"WHYYY!??!!??!..... Like a M*therf*cker!!!"
God damn, that song still gets me. Spiders still makes me wanna cry.
damn... Nothing about As I Lay Dying in this?... They really put a lot of the inspiration behind a lot for the 2000's metal core scene. I did like that you mentioned Knocked Loose as they are the only band with a similar sound to the early 00's. Also, The Ghost Inside still holds true to what you mentioned at the end of the video.
Loved going down memory lane in this video!
“ILL SEE YOU WHEN THE SUN SETS!!!”
2020 be like
Disinfect your surroundings
You make it out alive...
Wow, what an original joke! Never heard it before! Hahahahaha so funny!
My crabcore band in high school had a breakdown where we said “to infinity and beyond” with gang vocals before it hit 🤦♂️. And it was my idea 🤦♂️ lmao but really those times were so fun and I miss it!
Dude check out you've got a friend in my by lonely avenue
That actually sounds fucking awesome.
Is the song in youtube?
@@EverAfterBreak2 no but that is now my goal. I thought it would at least be on MySpace but the player won’t work
@@dougsvibes3269 bro upload it
Really sad that August Burns Red wasn't mentioned for helping evolve the breakdown. The quality and technicality of breakdowns in messengers shattered my whole metalcore world. And they somehow manage to keep them just as satisfying and sometimes as simple as they were in the early 2000's hardcore scene (thinking Gwen Stacy, War of Ages, Norma Jean, and the like).
Many thanks for the props to Earth Crisis. There's no need to explain why.
Not sure why they get so much flak. They were riff masters on their first five albums. The newer stuff they just kinda sound like every other band though :/
Oh man, “Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste” is the ultimate. Also Sam’s “Blegh!” Is the definition of hype. If you want a really sick recent breakdown check out END’s “Pariah.”
END is so good. I still get hype over the Necessary Death breakdown
Trevor Cline truly vicious stuff
Ocelot Pariah
END is fucking good
Norma Jean has the best breakdown, "LIKE BRINGING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT!!!!!"
Dude, a classic...
Sick fucking song. Good on you sir.
I just watched Domination live again so I'm gonna have to disagree.
What about, "walking to wall street in straight jackets"
Is ‘knife to a gunfight’ a song of theirs?
I must admit, I was a bit surprised by the omitting Suffocation’s breakdown mastery in Effigy of the Forgotten
He gushed over it enough in the slam video lmao
@@Sergio-nb4hj Yeah. Sort of pointless to bring it up again since he pretty much did a whole video on how it spawned slam.
Just downloaded the playlist.
Straight in on "disrespect your surroundings".
Bravo sir, bravo.
"Sup, this is Joe."
"Joe mama?"
"Joe Sturgis"
(earth shatters from simultaneous crabsquats)
What does a man trapped in Quarantine for three months and a Metalcore song that's three minutes in have in common...... an impending breakdown.
The modern breakdown... codename C19..
thank you for mentioning norma jean!!!! as a huge metalcore fan that was a high schooler in the early 2000's(graduated 2004), bands like norma jean, unearth, and horse the band really drove certain musical concepts/tropes home.
Norma Jean was definitely influential to the art of the breakdown
That Norma Jean reference was so refreshing. I haven't listened to them in years 😢
Check out their new album, All Hail, it’s awesome.
That Chimaira reference as well. 🤘
J Ryan especially landslide defeater I got goosebumps when that breakdown hit
Yup new album is great
Get on it immediately
The breakdown in Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die by Four Year Strong is a truly iconic easycore breakdown. Gets me pumped every time.
Probably the best ever
Was a sad day when FYS stopped playing breakdowns and started writing songs about their ‘fake fans’
DEAD YAMI ADTR really had them in their feelings for a while
Elon Bust lol was there more to that beef than the 2nd sucks video?? At least they gave us 1 goat album
DEAD YAMI I mean losing the crowds energy after your opener every night on tour has to be pretty demoralizing. They dropped the hardcore element and went “radio rock” then fell off for like ten years. Doing the anniversary tour for RODT basically saved their career. Pretty significant I’d say.
i love slam metal so much i can't describe it. i found cannibal corpse, deicide, morbid angel, hypocrisy, napalm death etc. in the mid 90s. unique leader records have my heart.
YES
Early The Devil Wears Prada should definitely have been mentioned here, those guys had perfected the callout/bass drop/synth/cymbal hit/fast chug breakdown, they had it all on Plagues, and Dear Love.
Code Orange-you and you alone is the greatest, most dynamic breakdown i have heard in the past 20 years.
Facts!
that song in general is such a triumph for heavy music, what a journey
code is hands down the best band out rn, im not personally really into hardcore, but they're still one of my top five. so unique
Dude its really fucking insane. That whole album has insane breakdowns
Pray for plagues has an underrated breakdown
Most songs from The Bled, also.
Dicks Malone Criminally underrated.
Atlas Media the Bled... wow that takes me waaaay back ❤️
When I think of breakdowns, Pray for Plagues is the one that plays in my head lol
Chelsea Smile too!
I dunno if they'd be classed as breakdowns but I always had a soft spot for the nu metal slowed down 2 note bounce riffs like the end of eyeless by slipknot or bleed by soulfly.
Breakdown of Sanity is the best breakdown band ever. Every song has 10 breakdowns with countless bass drops blowing your speakers out. I fkn love it.
I have heard my call to action, crabcore is back, will any brave souls will join me in this treacherous journey? We will face many battles, from metal elitists to djent purists, to the audiophile production nerds, but the breakdown will always prevail. I have heard my call, do you hear it too?
I came prepared with my straightener and skinny jeans
Finally! A metalcore band I can play in without having to add3 strings to my guitar😂
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
The old members of Attack Attack still mention it ironically in their new music which makes me giggle. Bilmuri have a song called Thicc Thiccly (Return of the Crab) where Caleb Shomo does some vocals.
Got my skinny jeans on just to reply to this comment.
I'm surprised that Anthrax wasn't in this conversation. They had a lot of breakdowns in the Among the Living days.
“WARDANCE”
yeah, Indians
I feel like Anthrax doesn't get enough credit for the thrash genre in general
I was born and grew up in the 90s listening to Metallica and hardcore punk bands. When I first heard KSE songs it was like the best thing ever, the marriage of metal and hardcore, and the baby was called Metalcore! I was mindblown and my teenage brain couldn‘t get enough of it!
This video is amazing! The one band I think you could have included was Carnifex, their breakdowns have been crushing since they started!
I feel like lumping Veil of Maya into the "generic djent breakdown" pile is a disservice to the pure talent of Marc Okubo and Sam Applebaum
Could not Agree More. He didn't even play what I would call the 'Breakdown' of that song either
Yeah! I felt bad he chose, in my opinion, one of the greatest albums to portray his message. I subjectively love veil of Maya and felt their early material was groundbreaking and pioneered the sound for a lot of bands like Volumes and Structures. That “progressive” metalcore/deathcore sound.
Why was there never a crabcore cover of “Under the Sea”
Dude I’ve had a djent cover ready to go I just haven’t been able to finish it lol
You just gave me the idea, thank you. I will force my friends to do it, if they wont i'll do it with my band
@@gladbuffalo7805 come back here if/when u do it I neeeed to hear that lol
I'll pay to hear a -core version of literally any song from a Disney animated movie.
Deathcore version would be more funny. "UNDER THE BREEEEE, UNDER THE BREEEEE"
“THIS IS THE TECHNO BREAKDOWN!!!” (Every song needs a techno breakdown) Love Stevie T!!!
I love how you are open to the strangest genres, but once something is Djent, it's kills the fun for you.
Meshuggah is the best band with breakdowns cuz like every riff of theirs is a breakdown 😂😂❤
Yeah ,when I bought Destroy Erase Improve in the city & put it in the walkman i felt like the music was from another Alien planet!
I think they're just a conglomeration of riffs
@useD raW just because a majority of the song is palm-muted chugging doesn't mean every segment is a breakdown.
@Bloviator Magnus wow what a strawman
Corridor of Chameleons! Best breakdown ever!!!!
Finally it's apropriate to post my favorite breakdowns:
Pantera - Domination
Braindrill - Apocalyptic Feasting
Converge - Locust Rain
As Blood Runs Black - In Dying Days
Thy Art Is Murder - Reign Of Darkness
Not sure, but I think Demolisher by STP will soon be on the list as well.
Honorable mention: Agent Fresco - Destrier and the middle part in Sacrifice Unto Sebeek by Nile (If you can call that a breakdown).
Solid choice for breakdowns. For me id add the heretic prevails from shadow of intent just because I love how Ben does 6 different vocals styles during the breakdown. I really like the breakdown in deadweight from wage war just because I'm a sucker for the blegh breakdowns.
@@iletthedevilin828 That one is indeed sick as well, just re-listened to it. Shadow of Intent's music is so cool and interesting I tend to overlook the breakdowns, haha.
@@peterabel1057 That's understandable, I hope they blow up more in the deathcore realm. Even though they're starting to get hype they still feel so underrated to me
@@iletthedevilin828 So true, I recommend them to my metal loving friends all the time (with varying success, god knows why) , they sound really unique imo. Brutal, melodic, catchy yet technical, symphonic... What's not to love about them?
Dying Fetus had some really awesome breakdowns from the Death Metal side of things. Still do.
As a mostly metal head, I enjoy how many times you throw shade at the playing skills of anyone involved in the core scene while clearly loving it.
Gotta say breakdowns now are pretty damn good in the up incoming hardcore and metalcore scene ie. Kublai Khan, Varials, Knocked Loose, Seeyouspacecowboy and Shame Spiral
Was gonna mention Kublai Khan 😍
VEIN!
And of course, END
There's also an interesting new take on them I've heard from bands like Loathe, where they bring in some proggy/shoegaze elements to their breakdowns which contrast the heavier sections.
Jesus piece
I love how the Amen break is so ubiquitous it even found its way here :D
The Oncoming Storm by Unearth was just bursting with killer breakdowns.
Best breakdowns:
The Red Chord - Hour of Rats, Face Area Solution
This or the Apocalypse - Geist, The Polymath
Beneath the Massacre - Stench of Misery, Sleepless, Society's Disposable Son
I personally love Haste the Day's breakdowns. "68" and "When Everything Falls" are some bangers.
Haste the Day is tragically underrated
"Substance" always got me movin' on the floor
Danny K. Yes! American Love too from that album.
Hell yeah Haste The Day!
Resolve waz so good~
"Our lives will hang on to the words You have spoken
and we will wait for our God to return " 🖤
At the risk of sounding like a douchebag, Korn Freak On a Leash is my favorite, it was pretty heavy for that time.
Plus the scat buildup is awesome
Yessss
...........GO!!!!
SOMETHING NAN-NA-NNnnN BURN
DOOD, what a great breakdown that comes out of NOWHERE.
I'm kind of surprised that there was no mention of iwrestledabearonce in this video. No one had more inventive and off the wall breakdowns than they did.
I was in No Zodiac, thanks for the love!
Best breakdown ever: Converge - The Saddest Day
You win! I'm glad I don't know 80% of the bands beyond 90s that Finn mentioned. Shit sounds horrible.
Pantera - domination?
My personal favourite is 43% Burnt by Dillinger Escape Plan, that last breakdown slaps hard.
Converge has some of the most under-rated breakdowns in the game.
Released in 1996 and it sounds like it's from 2006
Poison the well's the opposite of december still slaps harder than a hand with 6 rings on it.
Heard it for the first time a few weeks ago, such a good record
Bass drop breakdowns are definitely the best and most addictive to hear every time. Just bass drops in general sprinkled throughout the song is heavenly
Enterprise earth is really good at this
“Children of the grave” has the first breakdown imo
Thank you. How can sabbath not be in it
You sir are a field marshal of metal. Sabbath most definitely did everything first
Technically, after forever was the first, because it's first on the album
There's even a biohazard cover version, and it's basically got nyhc riffing :D
I stan the "Bring Back 2010 Breakdowns" movement.
This is how Wikipedia explains Heavy Metal and Punk Rock Breakdowns:
Breakdowns are sometimes found in metal and punk songs, as they can be used to eschew traditional verse-chorus-verse songwriting. When played live, breakdowns are usually responded to by the audience with high-intensity moshing (slam dancing).
The drumming is usually simple, with a four quarter-note ride pattern with the snare on the third beat. Most commonly, the drummer plays quarter notes on the crash cymbal or China cymbal. In some breakdowns where a very slow tempo is used, the drummer will play half notes, to give the music a very "heavy", slow feel. The guitarist usually follows the rhythm or "chugs" (uses palm-muted strokes on the lowest three to four strings of the guitar) along with the kick drum. In most cases, the drummer will use the kick drum to complement such "chugs" of the guitars.
The guitars play a set of rhythmically oriented riffs, usually on lightly palm-muted strings to achieve a very high attack noise that decays slowly, making the overall sound thicker and "heavy". Sometimes, these are contrasted with either dissonant chords, such as minor second intervals, tritones (flatted fifths), or pinch harmonics.
In punk, breakdowns tend to be more upbeat, using the floor toms and snare to create a faster, "rolling" rhythm. This provides audience members with an opportunity to skank, mosh, or form a circle pit.
Many of the bands that play in the genres of deathcore and metalcore make heavy use of breakdowns, which may consist of slow-paced strumming on the guitar, or fast syncopated triplet-feel patterns, both of which are typically palm-muted and played on the lowest three strings of a guitar, and may also involve a bass drop. These strings are usually tuned down from somewhere between Drop D all the way down to Drop Eb tuning. As in other modern metal genres and in punk, breakdowns in metalcore and deathcore are signals for moshing at live shows.
Electronicore bands such as Horse the Band, Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack!, Capture the Crown, Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Enter Shikari incorporate synthesizers that often add a dance-beat style to the breakdown.
So cool God Forbid is still remembered.. That bands Domination album is just brutal.. Glad to hear the Coyle bros still jamming as well..
FIR - Popular Monster has the best breakdown of anything recent, hands down.
Norma Jean is still running that style even on their new “All Hail” album just a little less I’d say
All Hail is fucking glorious.
Stick to your guns: this more breakdown is crucial.
Tdwp plagues is basically a whole breakdown.
I been searching for the band name (stick to your gun). Sir i thank you.
Yeah tdwp was awesome.
@@mu3h awesome band.
Rest assured
That with a heart that's pure
We'll be victorious
And not let our hate get the best of us
*MOVE*
You forgot the polymetric breakdown which i guess is what Meshuggah introduced, but was popularized by August Burns Red. Their breakdowns sounded so refreshing because of that element.
Dude I did NOT expect the eatmewhileimhot bits. That is one of the most underrated bands of all time.
This brings back some good memories. Thank you.
Indeed! Roooots, bloody roooots 😂
My 13 year old mind was blown the first time I heard the breakdown in Anthrax's Indians.
WARDANCE!
Finally some Machine Head love Finn! They were huge in mending together Thrash and Hardcore and slowing down the metal breakdowns. First breakdown I heard:
“This time I’m not gonna walk away! This time I’m not gonna let you slide!” All out war!! My favorite Earth Crisis album.
I will watch any and every video you make about death metal, deathcore, metalcore, post hardcore, or Slam. Thank you for continuing to make these videos Finn. I even come back to them sometimes.
I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone mention Creeping Death. This predated Raining Blood by 2 years and man for '84 that was something I imagine most people were not expecting.
Eh. it wasn’t really as close to modern breakdowns as slayer was.
Nice breakdown on breakdown history! Yooooo who is that at 17:52?
I'm going to do research but it might be reflections. Let me know if you find it.
The name is wastage by to the grave
I'm in a heavily 70s influenced rock and roll band but a core kid at heart. I'm slowly sneaking breakdowns into our songs. It's not easy to make it fit the song but I'm not giving up.
Ice nine kills' new album is a decent example of good movie samples in songs. They have a song called "rock the boat" where the breakdown is essentially the jaws theme. Its a decent listen
the whole album is killer, saw them tour on it and was amazing. Wasn't really a fan of them until The Silver Scream
@@freakymrq yeah im more a fan of their cinematic songs so every trick in the book and silver scream are my favourites. I was supposed to go see them in manchester but my mates bailed on me lmao
I think the Australian band “Dealer” has some sick breakdowns in their two EPs from last year anyone else???
Dealer is 🔥🔥🔥
@@SteveAyanami *was
Nikson thats what im saying lol
Dealer did the real ARF ARF
Shame the vocalists being called out for rape allegations... again
Eh, Veil of Maya and "generic" don't work together very well. They were also doing the djenty/technical breakdowns in like 2006
Yea this dude doesn’t really know about music enough to know why their music is special.
Minton Branham loll bro you gotta get over the rick and morty mindset
@@dead_yami lmao
Thank you! When I heard 'generic' and Veil of Maya in the same sentence, I about lost my shit lol.
@Zach alan Eh, just because something is prog or tech that doesn't automatically make it good. There is no such thing as objectively good music, it's all subjective.
Part of my MSc dissertation involved looking at the Cambrian Explosion as an analogy. I love hearing it in unexpected places.
Ah man I love when people talk about the very specific subjects of their dissertations. It's always something I was never interested in before but now I HAVE to read it (and I never do... I have focus issues).
Demolisher - slaughter to prevail
Amazing breakdown
Hell fuck yea. That song is like wtf!! I actually heard about Slaughter to Prevail by a vocal coach reaction vid and was blown away. And have since become a big fan. They are bad ass!
And also Lorna Shore with the song " To the hellfire "
GOAT mosh call thread.
Stick to your Guns- “This is More.” The simplest ever. But maybe the most effective.
Oh man, forgot about that one. So so good.
MOVE
Was always a fan of "My only enemy is me"
More recently, that "CAVE CANEM" destroys me every single time
This entire video basically told my late high school to college to military years' story hahaha! Thank you again for another great introspective adventure, dude!
Always time to go back 🥰
@@chronometa I never left! Haha, it's just not as often as going to a local venue in Somewhere, USA and talking to randoms about how br00tal that set was and how everyone lost their shit lol
duuuude you put EATMEWHILEIMHOT lmao, I like that!
I like the “breakdown” in Unholy Confessions by A7x.
However, Tower of the Snakes by Eighteen Visions will always be one of my favorites.
"All they have is just bow-wow-ban-n00-n00-wow-ban-nan-n00-weedle-deedle"
I literally shit myself when i first heard that lol
Shit was dope
And then VOM turned it into an actually nasty riff
CLASSIC
Yesssssss
Spectator: Can you do breakdown?
Wage War: Hold my "The River"
🤟🏻
🥴
How the about The River - Parkway Drive
@@Gnarwolf i would go for Wagewar - The River, 90% of that song are all breakdowns
Pantera fan from Texas here and I love and hate how accurate your “Hell yeah Brother, Fuckin Pantera!” Is
