@@alaia-awakened To be fair, Daughtry's songwriting improved on the last album and the most recent EP. I wonder if his family tragedy (stepdaughter's suicide in 2021) ended up having something to do with that, and going in a heavy rock direction.
7:08 Hell yeah, The Warning rocks. I was introduced to them back in March and they almost immediately became my favorite band. They make great music, they are amazing people their story is amazing. Three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico who've been doing this for 11 years and they are still soo young at 19, 22, and 24. You should check out more from their 4th and latest album, Keep Me Fed.

The heaviest rocks bands of the early 2000s radio was most certainly Chevelle AND Breaking Benjamin. Pete from Chevelle screamed and they played in drop A and all albums had songs that were on radio up into the 2010s.
As a previous Canadian Nik, I thought you might like to know that one of the bands you showed (although we didn’t hear their part in the collab), Softcult, are Canadian! They’re actually the Arn-Horn twins, Mercedes and Phoenix, previously of pop-punk band Courage My Love!! I’ve seen them live twice when they were still in CML, and they not only were phenomenal live, but I got to meet them and they were the NICEST people!! Like, genuinely impressed I knew their music so well (and that I could tell the twins apart, which I actually thought was super easy to do cuz they do look slightly different lol), and the second time it was just Mercedes, not the whole band like the first time, but she remembered me from the previous time and like immediately gave me a huge hug!! It was so heartwarming!! Like just a genuinely wholesome moment where we bonded as just like two people with genuine appreciation for each other and I’ll just never forget that moment! 😄
Tremonti at 3:12 was easily the best on the list. I never would have thought growing up the guitarist of creed was such an epic riffmaster underneath. Glad he has his solo band and alter bridge to pump out the riffage. Honeslty breaking benjamin chevelle seether and sevendust when they go their hard rock route are the best imo. In terms of more modern sounding nothing more takes the cake
So hard rock is basically metal sounding instrumental with clean vocals. Out of this list I for sure consider Tremonti, Daughtry, Linkin Park, Nothing More, Pop Evil hard rock. It's awesome Breaking Benjamin is the #1 but their sound bridges more the metal side of things same with Vola more prog metal but that song off the new album in this list is more hard rock for sure. Overall hard rock and metal are very similar with a few minor differences lol. Btw Vola's new album is a banger AOTY contender for 2024 check it out! \m/
The Warning is the future of hard rock. They have absorbed the past, perfected live performance of that, and have moved on to perfecting what's new. I have seen bands from Led Zeppelin to the Tubes live, and The Warning provided the best performance I have ever seen.
Nik, check out Hjarna Waves if you haven't already, there's a vocal section in The Red that blew me away lol super confused as to why this band is massively under the radar right now, they need more attention!
"Hard rock or heavy rock[1] is a heavier subgenre of rock music typified by aggressive vocals and distorted electric guitars." So I guess it's just a blanket term. Because this playlist had a good amount of alternative metal and metalcore in it, the Breaking Benjamin song for example (being alternative metal). I've seen people say Ice Nine Kills and Lorna Shore are hard rock when it's a deathcore song playing????
@@Luissv72 To me persoanlly, Rainy Day and Hip still sound like melodic metalcore. They're way too heavy and "thrashy" (fast) to be just hard rock. Hard rock makes me think of a Joan Jett or AC/DC song and the like. And Grave Mistake sounds more like traditional heavy metal (i.e. self-titled album Metallica), just a ballad of course. So I have to agree with the other person that hard rock is more of a blanket term for heavier music in general these days, since metalcore songs are accounted for on hard rock charts for example. (Like The Silver Scream 2, despite most of the songs on that album being styles of metalcore or death metal.)
I always have and always will enjoy Breaking Benny guitar riffs! Not a huge fan of some of the vocals and melody, but those riffs always bring me back.
Seems like a lot more of these songs are using subtle post-processed effects (compression, reverb, etc.) on drums, yet it also gives a vibe like these bands are afraid of sounding too close to 80’s hard rock, so any reverb is just barely noticeable.
When I think Hard Rock, I think Octane, borders on Alt Metal and Nu-Metal, Southern America vibe, the Chad and Kyle stereotypes, Wrestling theme music. Basically what I listen to. However in this mix I’m hearing all different stuff from Melodic Metalcore, Pop Punk/Post Hardcore, and Indie Pop, with the occasional Hard Rock song in the mix.
Idk if it's just me but like my definition of Hard Rock growing up was just that it was rock that just sounded harder than normal. And some of these bands made sense cause they fit what I remember listening to as a kid/teen that were considered hard rock, mind you this was like back in 2003, cause I'm old af. Like BB made sense, Daughtry made sense. Even Papa Roach made sense. But some of these other ones, idk man they just had too much modern metalcore vibes to them so they feel like they don't belong. Maybe its me or maybe it's just Spotify being dumb and not knowing how to make a good playlist but I guess MY definition of Hard Rock has just changed to something I'm not used to and this my first realization of that. Cause to me Hard Rock was bands like BB, Papa Roach, Drowning Pool, Nickelback (the early albums anyway), Shinedown, Seether, Evenesence, that was Hard Rock for me. Idk rant over.
I want Nik to react to twenty one pilots sooooooo bad. When the teaser for their song Overcompensate came out there were a ton of people who thought it was about to be an octanecore song lololol
i saw thousand foot krutch back in like 2001 when they were like youth group limp bizkit and they fucking ruled. but then again i was like 11 so anything that wasnt praise and worship music ruled. But i think that Set It Off album still holds up
Breaking Benjamin to me is the line between metal and rock for me it’s like there are times where they go metal and then they have rock but still one of my favorite bands

lmao
Yooo😭😭
Keem, *NO*
you Linus?
Lol
Chris Daughtry: Certified Hard R
I saw the thumbnail and thought the exact same thing
One of the best male vocalists, but deserves better songwriting
@@alaia-awakened To be fair, Daughtry's songwriting improved on the last album and the most recent EP. I wonder if his family tragedy (stepdaughter's suicide in 2021) ended up having something to do with that, and going in a heavy rock direction.

8:24 Bacon Benjamin. Sorry homie 😂
NAHH. Sorry Nik he got your ass 😂
The Warning is awesome. Seen them twice. Wish you’d said more about them
Was just about to comment something similar! The Warning are incredible!!!
Fk Yes!! The Warning and Band Maid leading for modern hard rock
Damn right. They're so damn good.
The Warning is the best!
Only came to the comments for The Warning love. Glad y'all showed up. Those girls ROCK
Octane is literally the Hard Rock channel and he’s surprised he got Octane stuff
Cool to see Smile Empty Soul on the list, underrated band.
I shot for them a couple times. Good dudes abd i love the bew stuff
nice pfp
We played with them a few months back and they blew our minds. Adema too. Totally bring their A Game live.
@@asweriseofficial dude. Adema
They're touring with Trapt. They instantly lose any cool they had.
Has Nik not heard of The Warning yet?! They're sick af!
Yes I love them! Their new album is 👌
Yeah, I'm kinda shocked too. He needs to wrap his ears around their music. And Band Maid also
1:11 I'll never get sick of this ever
The Warning mentioned let's gooo
I'd count them as Hard Rock/Alt Metal. Makes sense here. Their last album kicks ass
Sure does
Ayy the warning!
Love seeing VUKOVI in there. Always nice when a Scottish 🏴 band makes it big outaide of the UK.
Probably wouldn't have picked that The Warning song, but glad they were included

Nick check out more of The Warning. These girls pack a hole lot of energy into all their songs. Check them out live if you ever get the chance🤘
The heaviest rocks bands of the early 2000s radio was most certainly Chevelle AND Breaking Benjamin. Pete from Chevelle screamed and they played in drop A and all albums had songs that were on radio up into the 2010s.
Nick definitely needs to make a video on The Warning!
You gotta check out The Warning! Their album Error is amazing
Nik The Warning is one of the best new rock bands you have to check them out, I’ve been saying this for a year
This playlist is somwhow harder than most spotify metal playlists, wtf
Im thinking the same. I have to put a few songs into my own playlist
Daughtry is awesome. They been going heavy now and Chris is a powerhouse vocalist.
Yeah, loving their new album, despite I used to hate most of their old album lol
Nothing More is fantastic!
Your editing is so smooth, loved it!
*The Warning!* Where have you been? Try 'Automatic Sun' or their 'Evolve' from the 2023 MTV VMAs. They reminded MTV what rock music is all about.
Amira is actually awesome, I've been binge listening to all of her stuff it's worth it
The Warning are amazing!
As a previous Canadian Nik, I thought you might like to know that one of the bands you showed (although we didn’t hear their part in the collab), Softcult, are Canadian!

The Warning is 💯% the real deal. Check them out.

Glad he has his solo band and alter bridge to pump out the riffage. Honeslty breaking benjamin chevelle seether and sevendust when they go their hard rock route are the best imo. In terms of more modern sounding nothing more takes the cake
Tremonti is slept on
Oh, for sure. "Creed sucks!" Okay, first of all, shut your dirty whore mouth. Secondly, you apologize to Mark Tremonti right now.
Tremonti goes so hard
Knocked Loose and Poppy nominated for a Grammy!?!❤
Amira Elfeky goes hard, love seeing her that high on the list
awesome for me too, Violent Vira+Amira is in my same list
The Warning is fucking awesome. Them and Band-Maid are the best rock bands today.
Glad Nik knows about Nothing More. They are such a great band!
8:03 W Breaking Benjamin.
Glad to see Vukovi made it into the video they definitely deserve to be bigger
Wish more people could discover VUKOVI. Great to see them on the playlist!
@1:45 Canada has "hell yeah brothers" lol, what would a lumberjack be considered?
First heard Vukovi with their song All That Candy, got more rep from me when I realised they are from my home Country Scotland
Bro Make them suffers new album fucking slaps!
So hard rock is basically metal sounding instrumental with clean vocals. Out of this list I for sure consider Tremonti, Daughtry, Linkin Park, Nothing More, Pop Evil hard rock.

I just discovered VUKOVI a few days ago. Very solid band all around. Was surprised to see they were scottish
Split Chain is the shit. They’re going on tour with Silverstein in the US, can’t wait
Daughtry is one of the GOATS. His album "Leave this Town" is so damn good.
The warning is great nick should give them a listen
Bro you REALLY should give the Warning a solid listen. These girls rock HARD.
The Warning is the future of hard rock. They have absorbed the past, perfected live performance of that, and have moved on to perfecting what's new. I have seen bands from Led Zeppelin to the Tubes live, and The Warning provided the best performance I have ever seen.
Vukovi go kinda hard, saw them live recently with Calva Louise, two interesting upcoming female fronted rock/metal bands with an electronic touch
Band-maid new album has a song that is a hard rock song, Shambles, it's hard! 🤟
Phobia is one of the best hard rock/nu metal albums of the 2000s. Love to see Breaking Benjamin making music again
So happy my favorite band, VOLA, is on here.
hey @Nik Nocturnal. What's your favourite Parkway Drive song? They're my favourite band.
Nik, check out Hjarna Waves if you haven't already, there's a vocal section in The Red that blew me away lol super confused as to why this band is massively under the radar right now, they need more attention!
Saw Vulovi at a festival this summer and it was fucking sick
Lead singer sang from the pit for a moment
Quite the selection!
Where's Slaughter to Prevail - Behelit reaction bro?
Fr
The Poppy tune gives me Linkin Park vibes, that snippet sounded like Points Of Authority
Today I learned; Anberlin is still making music. Holy shit.
7:08 THE WARNING MENTIONED FUCK YEAH 🗣🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

I've seen people say Ice Nine Kills and Lorna Shore are hard rock when it's a deathcore song playing????
I'd say some INK is hard rock (Rainy Day, Grave Mistake, Hip), also alternative metal often has more alt rock influence than metal so it makes sense.
@@Luissv72 To me persoanlly, Rainy Day and Hip still sound like melodic metalcore. They're way too heavy and "thrashy" (fast) to be just hard rock.

should be AOR hard rock band in the list, but spotify being spotify.
@@Luissv72 Yeah,Ice Nine Kills in general is more Metal/death core
I just thought I’d let you know, I picked this video to watch while I ate my food
7:08 THE WARNING MENTIONED!!
WTF IS A BAD ALBUM??! 🗣🗣‼️‼️🔥🔥🦈🦈
Nik , listen the warning, unexpected
That Amira Elfeky song is my current hyper-fixation 🙌🏻
Anberlin is Drop B for the last few albums so more metal I think
Tuning is not the distinction between rock and metal. They aren't using metal riffs, so they're rock.
@CrownlessStudios true but anberlin can be a lot heavier than their contemporaries in the scene
Do not fucken sleep on Split Chain!⛓️💥
Just came here to say Make Them Suffers new album is front to back gold 🔥
Spotify will just put on anything fr
Nik Nocturnal finally reacting to Vukovi, probably one of the best bands out of the UK these days.
I always have and always will enjoy Breaking Benny guitar riffs! Not a huge fan of some of the vocals and melody, but those riffs always bring me back.
VOLA is such a great find
Hey Nik, ever heard of Self Deception? Just listened to them last night, they kick ass.
"VUKOVI" literally means wolves in croatian :D
Vukovi means Wolves in Serbo-Croatian.
Nik is literally so fucking sick and funny
Nick automatically saying sorry in canadian can't be so true for him being canadian
Seems like a lot more of these songs are using subtle post-processed effects (compression, reverb, etc.) on drums, yet it also gives a vibe like these bands are afraid of sounding too close to 80’s hard rock, so any reverb is just barely noticeable.
The Skyrim part always gets me
When I think Hard Rock, I think Octane, borders on Alt Metal and Nu-Metal, Southern America vibe, the Chad and Kyle stereotypes, Wrestling theme music.
Basically what I listen to.
However in this mix I’m hearing all different stuff from Melodic Metalcore, Pop Punk/Post Hardcore, and Indie Pop, with the occasional Hard Rock song in the mix.
The skyrim edit got me so good

I agree with that.
VOLA's newest album goes hard!

Check out the The Warning. These girls bring a very nostalgic sound from the 2000s.
@ I have actually, really like them and their sound.
I’ve always thought that bands like Breaking Benjamin was the definition of Hard Rock.
@@CGGS_0 same! Like when i think hard rock I think Breaking Benjamin.
Starset and Breaking Benjamin are great. The new starset song is on there now. Also pop evil
Honestly this list is pretty damn good. And a lot of smaller artists are being highlighted.
Confirmed, Nik started his corekid journey with NOFX
I want Nik to react to twenty one pilots sooooooo bad.
When the teaser for their song Overcompensate came out there were a ton of people who thought it was about to be an octanecore song lololol
Belly Up by Return to Dust is sick btw
i saw thousand foot krutch back in like 2001 when they were like youth group limp bizkit and they fucking ruled. but then again i was like 11 so anything that wasnt praise and worship music ruled. But i think that Set It Off album still holds up
Man, I wish you did this last year my band had a track on this playlist for like 6 months would have loved to hear you check it out :(
Vola at 3 is so deserved, one of the most underrated bands currently
It's butt rock
Breaking Benjamin to me is the line between metal and rock for me it’s like there are times where they go metal and then they have rock but still one of my favorite bands
You did Breaking Benjamin and The Warning. You should deep dive into BAND-MAID.
"There's definitely some hell yeah bruthar in here"
4:30 Bring Me didn’t invent that sound/vibe either
It sounded more like Linkin Park
Split Chain is fuckin' sick my dudes
Someone needs to get Nik to listen to Hymns of the unholy such a power lineup for Cult of the lamb.
Damn, I wanted to hear what Nik thought of granson & Tom Morello
Man did you listen to South Arcade already? They’re sick, bringing the 2000s back in the best form. Check them out!
