By the way, this song is so full of details and so well crafted that it's been studied at the prestigious Sydney Conservatorium of Music for a while. Aside from reacting to the live version of And plague flowers the kaleidoscope, if you want to return to NeO later I'd suggest Forget Not, As Icicles Falls, or Eyrie. Those are such beautiful songs, just masterpieces.
another incredible song you should check out by Ne Obliviscaris (neo for short) is Forget Not. From the same album as this one. idk if there's a good live version or not, so someone else'll have to vouch if there is Also, I loved how taken aback by this you were. If you want another mixture of genres with metal, check out Exit Strategy of a Wrecking Ball by Diablo Swing Orchestra
Autre Temps Printemps Emeraude Ecaille de Lune part 1 Percees de Lumieres Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde La Ou Naissent Couleurs Nouvelles The list doesn't end
@@gilvanmessem5335 Lol. Does my comment really seem to imply THAT? It's just saying that probably no one would say something like that about this song.
@@darkdeceptionkillsthelight9653 yes but you have a plenty of other bands that he reacts too that are also good and listenable. The problem i have with this kind of comments is that it's the basic the normie metalhead comment that you see pretty much on every melodic metal song on youtube and after many years of listening metal this kind of comment looks realy cringe
@@Apfelsine78 is that the song from Urn thats split into 3 parts? Its really good but I'm a huge fan of Portal of I so Xenoflux is my 2nd favorite of theirs. There is one riff in particular that I really like in that song.
@@MaxStone289 You're thinking of the right song, but it's actually in Citadel and not Urn ^^ I just like the overall feeling when listening to a 23 minutes song and especially this last minute of part II: th-cam.com/video/hUj3B7YXvCY/w-d-xo.html
This band is truly special:D Please check out Painters of the tempest (best all 3 parts together). Such a great track, the transitions are damn smooth and its just over and over amazing xD Also a cool band to check out: Unexpect. The Name is program. Never heard a crazier band than them, the Song would be Unfed Pendulum (there is a fanmade "live" Video where you see them Play, but its actually the Studio Version of the track since they don't have any official Videos. Also they use a friggin 9 String bass
I hate growls and screams, but thankfully Ne Obliviscaris keeps it rare enough and mixes in enough clean vocals and classical music influences that I don't get fed up with the growls. Hence I own all 3 of their studio albums now.
The musicianship in this band is absolutely elite level. Dan Presland is a formidable warrior behind the kit...years in the making, this whole album let alone this song, is a masterpiece. They played a major part in putting aussie prog/melodic death metal on the map 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
As crazy as it may sound this isn't even their best song. Painters of the Tempest part II and Devour me Colossus part I are must listens if you are wanting to delve into NeO.
Devour me colossus by Neo. The last few minutes beginning with a tapping bass riff is stunning. Be'lakor the smoke of many fires for some Aussie melodic metal
Yo can you please react to Siebenburgen "Levande begravd" they are a swedish melodic black metal band. Its a 10 minute song but I'd really love it if you were to react to them or just listen on your off time.
OK Drew, given you're expanding your horizons musically it's time to pay a visit to: Riverside: Polish prog rock band, often compared to Porcupine Tree. Given you liked Anesthetize, I recommend Left Out. Soen: Swedish prog rock/metal band, a great combination of Tool and Opeth influences sans the harsh vocals (Opeth's original drummer plays drums here). Check Orison or Covenant.
Dan Presland is one of thee most incredible technical drummers in the frickin universe! You should go check out one or two of his drumming videos.. It's mind blowing how machine-like he is while still being human.
Other NeO songs to check out would be "Eyrie", "Forget Not", "Devour Me, Colossus", and their truly masterful composition, "Painters of the Tempest" that clocks in at over 20 minutes.
If you are ever looking to do more Ne Obliviscaris, I would highly recommend you checking out either "Devour Me, Colossus - Part I - Blackholes" or "Eyrie" by them. I do have to say "Devour Me, Colossus - Part I - Blackholes" is definitely my favourite song ever and has been for about four years since I first heard it and it still gets me going like it did when I first listened to it.
It's very hard to grasp everything in a complex prog metal song in the first listen dude. Totally understandable. Their live performance/vid of this song is nearly 1:1...amazing.
Dude, React to some Haken....You will be blown away for sure....For starters, you can try listening to Pareidolia, atlas stone, and endless knot by them. Haken is arguably the best modern prog metal/rock band of this decade.
Hey! Really like your vids! This band and song is amazing, check out the live from colorado of this on your own time. Its nice to see the talent of them all. Would be nice to see some Wintersun on your channel! I recommend their song "Time" or "Sons of Winter and stars" from the !Live rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studios! Peace!
Check out Be’lakor. They’re an incredible melodic death metal band also from Melbourne. Countless Skies, Abeyance, or The Smoke of Many Fires are popular tracks to react to.
also listen to their song "Painters of the Tempest" (II) There's 3 separate "parts" to it, but part 2 is the main music song of it. Part I and Part III is a progressive intro/outro (respectively). All 3 parts makes the song 27 minutes in total lenght, and Part II is about 19 minutes (from the top of my head). It's an amazing song with a great feel to it. Give it a check!
I requested this song so many times but gave up nothing thinking that you’d ever do it. Iv seen this band live twice and has a tattoo of the bands logo.. love these guys.
Drew, I never listened to death metal before i heard this song. Since then, i have really dived into NeO's discography. There are still some songs that just don't grab me, but the rest have me absolutely captivated and i find myself listening to them over and over and over. "Forget Not", "Painters of the Tempest" and "Devour Me Colossus" are my favorites, but "Eyrie" and "As Icicles Fall" and "Petrichor Weaves Black Noise" are sooo sooo good. The live in Colorado version of Kaleidoscop e is excellent audio and visual, and the playthroughs of the drums and bass on this will blow your mind. Hope to see much more NeO on your channel...
Another great prog metal song is "In the shadow of our pale companion" by Agalloch. An American band that beyond being a prog metal band, they create ambient/atmospheric metal. Its an experience listening to the song with a good pair of headphones.
You should react to Periphery. They have soft and heavy sections like Opeth, and popularized djent, a style of progressive metal. I'd check out Reptile first (16:00 long).
Don't suggest long songs first because they are long, man. Periphery have the pop appeal, I think short songs are their strenght, that's why they rarely have any long ones in the first place.
@@Malkovith2 I suggested Reptile because it shows all aspects of Periphery, and for first time listeners that's important. Shorter songs can't capture that. Also Reptile is undoubtedly one of their best songs.
Should have done the live, as it’s pretty much on par with the studio but you can actually see the insaneness of how talented they are. You should also look up the drum play through and the bass play through videos from the drummer and (then) bassist.. crazy talented
Hey drew, Im relatively new to your channel but like your reactions very much. I really like your openness for the unnokwn. Some suggestions you could check out: Machine head (for example: davidian) Pantera (edit: nevermind, just saw that you already did them) Chimaira Kataklysm (edit: Songs like crippled and broken, or as i slither) Another heavy one is hypocrisy with the Song hell is where i Stay. There's many more, but i dont wanna overdo it for now. Greetings from germany Stay healthy
Thank you drew! ive been waiting for you to react to NeO and now i am happy :) Forget not was my first experiance with NeO and can be a good second choice.
This is like a nightmare version of american 70s prog-rock band Kansas... It's 😎 you need to listen to "Magnum Opus" studio version by Kansas... From 1976.
I like your description of processing the layers, repeat listens, and trying to put it all together. It's basically how prog works... That's why most people comment on how some songs become "better" after every listen, you keep hearing something new and add it to the overall experience. As for some suggestions: Plini - Selenium Forest Leprous - Slave (Live at Rockefeller) Spiritbox - Blessed Be Pain Of Salvation - Meaningless And dare I suggest: Mick Gordon - BFG Division or The Only Thing They Fear Is You... for something really different.
Metal with Jazz Saxophone, "Where Only Owls Know My Name" by Rivers of Nihil. Don't watch the official video, it's distracting and takes away from how good the music really js
Next step is Wintersun! They and NeO are similar, but Wintersun goes a bit more symphonic-melodic death metal, but if you like those layers of complexity in music, they're one of the best out there for that. Sons of Winter and Stars is a good introductory song for them!
Was that an invitation to suggest more aussie prog? Voyager - Entropy; Twelve Foot Ninja - Coming for you; Cog - Doors (beware the long intro); Oh - and more Karnivool - COTE, Goliath...
Hello, Drew. Nice to see you going further along that road. Thank you for another Porkupine Tree video - I liked it a lot. Please, give a listen to "Demanufacture" by Fear Factory (Mankura's lyric video will work fine) or "Knife Party" by Deftones sometime in the future. ^_^
vektor collapse or recharging the void... the vocals might be off-putting to you at this point, but the instrumental is still worth it. Or Beyond Creation - FUndamental Process or Earthborn Evolution.
Fun fact, this song is used in Sydney Conservatory of Music for songwriting classes! Next song id suggest "In The Shadow of Our Pale Companion" by Agalloch, its a beautiful masterpiece you will lose yourself in!
There's a German tech/prog band called Unprocessed that's just starting to break out of their shell. They blew me away the first time I heard them! If you're curious, start with the song Haven. Some Periphery would be really cool too! A Reptile or Blood Eagle reaction would be amazing.
You have to check out tesseract brotha, please trust me I can sense your style and they will change your world! Check out Proxy or Dystopia from them. Both first songs off of 2 different albums. Both different singers. Same incredible band... trust brotha! Great videos maine!
Honestly, between just this track, Painters of The Tempest pt. II & Icicles Fall, I'd say Ne Obliviscaris have some of the most remarkable Death Metal moments in the genre's entire history.
If you want something ridiculous to react to, I'd definitely suggest devin townsends song genesis. It's basically the intro track for his newest album "Empath". Highly recommend giving the whole album a listen.
Fleshgod Apocalypse! Listen to The Deceit and The Violation, but you have to listen to them back to back directly so they flow into each other. Symphonic Death Metal with prog elements, and insanely fast drums
Gotta say , I never heard o'these lads much beore and this is me first experience with them. Ton of stuff happening after the other, so as ya said, tis many a happy relistens to properly digest whats following what and anticipate the next change. The violin- that can be quite prominent in many "Folk Metal" bands aswell. Ill jump in on the Devin Townsend charge here too, by sayin twould be cool to see ya watch "Deadhead", and maybe then , you could ready yerself for someting like "Genesis" from him. That song is absolutely bonkers brilliant! And the new Trivium album is amazing. "The Catastrophist" is an awesome song.
love the reactions, i have a request for you to react to something more ancient sounding, the band Heilung (Hi-Lung), the word means healing in German. they are a 3 piece band that produces amplified history, because they get inspiration from ancient artifacts from the iron age and viking age. here are some songs that they played live in there first ever concert-LIFA Alfadhirhaiti- th-cam.com/video/2wy-W-pYlds/w-d-xo.html Second song of the show Krigsgaldr- th-cam.com/video/QRg_8NNPTD8/w-d-xo.html Fourth song of the show In Maidjan- th-cam.com/video/kmWTZ3KfnXE/w-d-xo.html First song of the show Othan- th-cam.com/video/GPV38e7yfSo/w-d-xo.html Seventh song of the show (my favorite) you 'll have to copy paste the links Hope you enjoy, they are something special and one of my all time favorite bands
These guys are my favourite musicians, seriously. So good to hear you enjoyed this, check out more of their songs. I love every single song they have put out. Those who love classical and metal, Ne Obliviscaris is the band for them :) Check out Eyrie if you want more violin
Lyrics 8.5/10 lmao... this song has one of the best black metal lyrics i've ever heard - and trust me i listen to a lot of cool shit like Mgla or Rivers of Nihil. There are multiple ways you can interpret the song but the vibe I get is they are basically trying to potray the misery and decadence of humanity during the Dark Age.
Dude ... Gojira has nothing on NeO ... don`t get me wrong, I like Gojira as well, but Neo? ... These are true musicians. I totally recommend you listen/react to more from them. It will get even better and better and better after some days.
maybe you should listen sometimes to something easy, there are only few times i can digest proggressive metal and enjoy it. Since u have less experience with violin, here is a mix of bands where violin adds some important aspect to music: Korpiklaani - Wooden Pints Alestorm - Drink Eluveitie - any song, really
well yeah, ne obliviscaris also definitely break that rule; they are gods when they play live. but i 100% agree with hitting up the studio version of a track when first jumping into anything
Hey Drew, anyone ever tell you, you look like the guy in the Jinjer video for On the top? Haha, as soon as I saw it I fuckin laughed. It’s totally you man.

ari syahroni YEEEEEEES!
The ultimate NeO experience is listening to the entire "Painters of the tempest" song, 24 minutes that feel like 7 mate, its nuts
Id say Upon The Tongue of Eloquance is the ultimate expierence, but that song cant be found in YT sadly
By the way, this song is so full of details and so well crafted that it's been studied at the prestigious Sydney Conservatorium of Music for a while.
Aside from reacting to the live version of And plague flowers the kaleidoscope, if you want to return to NeO later I'd suggest Forget Not, As Icicles Falls, or Eyrie. Those are such beautiful songs, just masterpieces.
As Icicles Falls gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, I'd suggest it too for the next NeO song
Forget Not and As Icicles Fall are must listens!
That's insane. Glad they get a well deserved recognition!
He can also react to the classic: Painters of the Tempest (II)
"Neo" is a short way of saying Ne Obliviscaris.
karl jonson That or I just say Ne Ob
All hail king Karl🙏🏻
Speaking of great Australian metal, you should check out Be'lakor. Either "The Smoke of Many Fires", "In Parting", or "Abeyance"
Devin Townsend Project - Deadhead live at Royal Albert Hall. You will be amazed by the bald man.
Agreed! I've been spamming him for this song for a week now. Haha.
Hell yes! I get goosebumps everytime I listen to that song!
He wants layers, Devy got them layers.
Yes!!! I actually just finished listening to his second quarantine concert! The bit he did at the end of ZTO was hilarious
Got it done man - just waiting to get it edited!
NeO's music is being taught at the Sydney Conservatory of Music..... that's how talented they are!
I heard that too, so amazing xD

DSO is amazing.
Definitely check out "Where Owls Know My Name" by Rivers of Nihil
The entire album is amazing!
One of the greatest songs of all time imo
Yeah, I was just a tad disappointed by the commentary at the end... just a tad.
Probably more than tad but I’m trying to be nicd
Amorphis - The Bee
Under the red cloud!
or silver bride
Oh yes x)
All good choices, I'll add Amongst Stars :D
Ooh yes! And Amongst Stars!
“Graves” by Caligula’s Horse is a modern prog masterpiece. Would love to see your reaction to it... you’ll love it.... Best Australian prog band IMO

Devour me colossus by Neo. The last few minutes beginning with a tapping bass riff is stunning.

Welcome to NeO. Can't go past Forget Not, but so many other fine gems to discover. Pyrrhic is another that always seems to be overlooked.

Could you react to dream theater root of All evil. And porcupine tree, way out of here live?
Another great song from Ne Obliviscaris is Intra Venus

Nice avatar
be'lakor next. also australian progressive death metal
ne obliviscaris - Of Petrichor Weaves Black Noise
Devour Me Colossus Part One is another great track by them
More melodeath than progressive rock although the genres do overlap.

I’d say stranger things is a better first reaction
Don't suggest long songs first because they are long, man. Periphery have the pop appeal, I think short songs are their strenght, that's why they rarely have any long ones in the first place.
@@Malkovith2 How about we gonna suggest whichever songs we like?
@@Malkovith2 I suggested Reptile because it shows all aspects of Periphery, and for first time listeners that's important. Shorter songs can't capture that. Also Reptile is undoubtedly one of their best songs.

Should have done the live, as it’s pretty much on par with the studio but you can actually see the insaneness of how talented they are. You should also look up the drum play through and the bass play through videos from the drummer and (then) bassist.. crazy talented

If you want something ridiculous to react to, I'd definitely suggest devin townsends song genesis. It's basically the intro track for his newest album "Empath". Highly recommend giving the whole album a listen.
Your have to listen to Karnivool - New Day! They’re a prog band from Australia!
Fleshgod Apocalypse! Listen to The Deceit and The Violation, but you have to listen to them back to back directly so they flow into each other. Symphonic Death Metal with prog elements, and insanely fast drums
Gotta say , I never heard o'these lads much beore and this is me first experience with them. Ton of stuff happening after the other, so as ya said, tis many a happy relistens to properly digest whats following what and anticipate the next change. The violin- that can be quite prominent in many "Folk Metal" bands aswell. Ill jump in on the Devin Townsend charge here too, by sayin twould be cool to see ya watch "Deadhead", and maybe then , you could ready yerself for someting like "Genesis" from him. That song is absolutely bonkers brilliant! And the new Trivium album is amazing. "The Catastrophist" is an awesome song.
this band is amazing and this song is a masterpiece, also the live performances are outstanding, even better than the studio recording
love the reactions, i have a request for you to react to something more ancient sounding, the band Heilung (Hi-Lung), the word means healing in German. they are a 3 piece band that produces amplified history, because they get inspiration from ancient artifacts from the iron age and viking age.
here are some songs that they played live in there first ever concert-LIFA
Alfadhirhaiti- th-cam.com/video/2wy-W-pYlds/w-d-xo.html Second song of the show
Krigsgaldr- th-cam.com/video/QRg_8NNPTD8/w-d-xo.html Fourth song of the show
In Maidjan- th-cam.com/video/kmWTZ3KfnXE/w-d-xo.html First song of the show
Othan- th-cam.com/video/GPV38e7yfSo/w-d-xo.html Seventh song of the show (my favorite)
you 'll have to copy paste the links
Hope you enjoy, they are something special and one of my all time favorite bands
These guys are my favourite musicians, seriously.
So good to hear you enjoyed this, check out more of their songs. I love every single song they have put out.
Those who love classical and metal, Ne Obliviscaris is the band for them :)
Check out Eyrie if you want more violin
Lyrics 8.5/10 lmao... this song has one of the best black metal lyrics i've ever heard - and trust me i listen to a lot of cool shit like Mgla or Rivers of Nihil. There are multiple ways you can interpret the song but the vibe I get is they are basically trying to potray the misery and decadence of humanity during the Dark Age.
If you're all liking the Violin with the Black Metal/Prog theme then you should check out A Forest Of Stars.
Dude ... Gojira has nothing on NeO ... don`t get me wrong, I like Gojira as well, but Neo? ... These are true musicians. I totally recommend you listen/react to more from them. It will get even better and better and better after some days.
Cynic
- Humanoid
Tesseract - April
you'll like it :)
So glad you reacted to Neo. This is only one of their many amazing tracks. If you try another I’d recommend Devour me Colossus. Enjoy
maybe you should listen sometimes to something easy, there are only few times i can digest proggressive metal and enjoy it. Since u have less experience with violin, here is a mix of bands where violin adds some important aspect to music:
Korpiklaani - Wooden Pints
Alestorm - Drink
Eluveitie - any song, really
well yeah, ne obliviscaris also definitely break that rule; they are gods when they play live. but i 100% agree with hitting up the studio version of a track when first jumping into anything
You should react to Slaughter to Prevail's new song "Demolisher"
Rings of Saturn, the Macrocosm. No lyrics, Just pure instrumental skill.
Give it a listen if you have the time.
Great reaction still, check out eyrie,forget not, as icicles fall and more. The rabbit hole is very, very deep. Enjoy ;)
Nevermore-this godless endeavor!
People sleep on this band,the singer died 2 years ago. Been trying to get them views since.....with no luck tbh
Hey Drew, anyone ever tell you, you look like the guy in the Jinjer video for On the top? Haha, as soon as I saw it I fuckin laughed. It’s totally you man.
Dude the live version of this is fucking insane bro. Insanity. They are absolutely perfect live.
