      Gasoline, it feels like the sequel to this song. Or Bad Things are my votes. 😊

      I'd like to hear what Self Destruction or Visceral has there, but There's Fear In Letting Go would probably be more realistic.

    Awesome 🎉 This song is one of the most compelling and powerful songs I know. To me, it's about putting in blood sweat and tears into something, then an arrogant adversary comes and apposes you. But because you've put in the hard honest work, and your opposition is just fueled by ego, you demonstrate your value and put your opposition to shame (which is the inevitable consequence of pride).

    Literally the first time I heard the song I said "oh they just loved the Doom soundtrack and wanted to do it with lyrics" haha turns out I was right.
    Love the song! It's one of my favourites and I'm obsessed with the kick patterns in it

    • @TheAoiDragoon
      @TheAoiDragoon 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a really interesting insight if you think about it.. Seeing cultural trends and musical breakthroughs, and watching them cascade throughout all of the music we listen to, it's so neat to observe. It's like watching the band play live, while also being the band itself. I said something similar haha! Praise be Mick Gordon!

    • @strigers8007
      @strigers8007 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mick Gordon had huge influence on the metal scene. Hell he co produced BMTH's Post Human Survival Horror and it pretty much shaped the current trend of metal sound.

  • @MetalMan1245
    @MetalMan1245 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    What's weird is that Doom Eternal wasn't even out when the album came out, so this was more inspired by Doom 2016, super cool but I always though of 2016 as the more experimental synthy one and Eternal as the straight up heavy one. Also cool that they achieved that Mick Gordon style by doing the opposite of what he does, he's said he tries to avoid layering whenever possible, but what makes this song special is just layers on layers, and I love it.

    At least actual metal/metalcore made it to the grammys that year at all instead of the random "This song has only been played a total of 5m times" songs that literally no one knows that WIN GRAMMYS every year...

  • @sherrimoser9176
    @sherrimoser9176 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love these breakdown videos! They showcase how much work goes into writing a song, which is hard for those of us outside the industry to comprehend. The thought and talent that goes into each layer is phenomenal and I love watching how the song grows and develops. I absolutely love your music but these videos give me an even deeper appreciation for the incredible talent that you each bring to every song. I also love that you’re such strong and powerful advocates around mental health issues.
