See why I've requested this so many times!? This band blows my mind. I'm glad you went for the live one. It's actually pretty damn close to the album version.
Sara Jade I didn’t know than but I For sure as sh*t know now. WTF??!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯 That has to be one of the all time best showcases of extremely high talented musicianship. Ever! Just imagine if people were able to see this on a platform like The Grammys. It would be a complete shutout. All the other performers would know it’s game over. They would be the only thing anybody would be talking about. That’s the sad thing about these huge BS award shows like The Grammys. The average viewer has no idea of what true real talent is and may never see this high level of skill. That said Sara, no words can even describe what that was. I can’t give enough phenomenal shoutouts for this one. THANK YOU Sara have a great weekend
Do Hoeijmans THANKS MAN!!! I’m sure I saw it as I recall seeing them more than a few times. I dug through the comments trying to find as many people that hit me up about them. So again man, Thank You!
Fun fact: "And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope" is now part of the teaching curriculum for composition analysis at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, one of Australia's most prestigious classical Conservatories. NeO is from my hometown of Melbourne, Australia and my favourite band. Another Melbourne band for you to check out is Be'lakor, Countless Skies from their Stone's Reach album. Cheers!
Sometimes people with influences from all over the spectrum get together to form a band and the result is beautiful. That’s what this is. I’ve heard bands try and it sounds fake or contrived. This band just flows naturally.
David Bovey YES! you summed it up perfectly. it was so complex and had multiple layers but just flowed so beautifully. This felt like a rock/metal/folk/everything version of a real classical Orchestra. Beautiful indeed
Great reaction! This song was actually studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. That's how much of a masterpiece it is. All of their songs are phenomenal though and you could react to any one of them.
Joseph A'Hearn Oh yeah man no surprise there. This wasn’t a performance it was a god dam clinic. It’s was pretty obvious real quick they’re absolute masters of their craft. Happy Holidays Joseph 🤘
Just found this band a few days ago and has been blowing me away ever since. This is almost scary good, I haven't been this amazed by a band since I discovered Opeth many years ago
@@dmusiclife5727 I know what you mean. His double kick was so tight and almost constant throughout the song! Actually I found out that his name is Dan Presland. Alan Tudyk is the pilot from Firefly/Serenity and the pirate in Dodgeball, which he just sorta reminded me of when I saw him. :> Funfact: Apparently he quit his $150.000 per year job to tour with the band.
the album version is not too different from what you heard here! they did a fantastic job at this show other songs of theirs I recommend: As Icicles Fall, Pyrrhic, Forget Not, and probably their most beautiful song Eyrie (less focus on being heavy on this one I feel, but still gets there)
sheepnoisebah Awesome man definitely going check out more from them. This performance was ridiculously phenomenal!!! I was literally in shock watching this insane high level of talent. Just imagine them performing this on a platform like The Grammys!!! It would be a complete shut out! Game over for any other performance after them. That’s all The Grammys would be taking about and these guys would blow the fu*k up. People that watch BS music award shows like the Grammys have no idea what true talent is.
Jennifer King Right??!!!! I’m still in complete shock after that insane showcase of next level musicianship! Even if you’re not a fan of the music there’s NO WAY you can watch that performance and not be WTF faced after. I’ve see a TON of high level musicians perform but I haven’t seen anything like that🤯🤯🤯 Whats up Jennifer have a great weekend 🤘
I love that you are doing an Aussie prog tour. First Karnivool now Ne Obliviscaris. Seriously their prog scene is insaaaane. You neeeered to check out Caligula’s Horse to keep The Aussie prog tour going. Listen to Graves, Marigold, or Rust
Potadorius yup, love me some twelve foot ninja too. Watching his reaction to one of their music videos would be pretty hilarious too. And yeah, too many good Caligula’s Horse songs to suggest hah.
This song came from an album full of masterpieces. Personally the top of them is As Icicles fall (studio version). It's a poetry amplified by a wall of sound made by gold an steel. The voice of violin, the impassable intricate work of the guitar and bass embraced by the amazing drum work and finally the mastery of the angel and evil voices, so intense and powerful will shock you. I am sure.
Absolutely stunning. I'm blown away. Damn! That violin goes hard, holy shit! I love your videos. With Your insight and the suggestions and knowledge of your fans, I consider this an education channel, LOL! For real though what a performance! Another great video Dylan. 🔥🤘😙
AK007 Campbell This wasn’t just a performance this was a god dam clinic. This was a master craft showcase at the highest level. Just imagine if this band was able to perform at a huge music event like the Grammys. The show would be over after they played. Game Over. People have no indeed the true level of musicianship that’s really out there.
Seen these guys 6 time in 6 years and yes they do sound like that live. My two kids and I have seen them as a family. Very special night, very nice guys to talk too as well
kevin watts That’s Awesome man! I have a four year old son. He’s already learning the guitar and drums from his dad. Definitely looking forward to taking him out for live shows as well🤘 Thanks for the feedback Happy Holidays
@@dmusiclife5727 Hi mate i'm from Australia, try Intra venus by NeO as we call them for short , also try The Smoke Of Many Fires by another Aus band Be' lakor! its awesome ps Your reaction to Plague Flowers was Gold mate! I to acted the same way, your face was priceless. Marry xmas my friend.
I love rewatching this video after a rough day! :) You pretty much voice everything I feel about this song and your reaction is just so genuine! I love it!
Man I subbed because you reacted exactly as I did when I first heard these guys. I found about them randomly like 1y and half ago and they quickly rose to be my favorite band. The thing about their music is that as you give it more listens the more beautiful details you notice due to the complexlayered nature of their style. Just keep exploring their stuff you will love it for sure
P santos Absolutely man I hear you. This wasn’t a performance this was a god dam clinic. They’re are absolute master of their craft phenomenal musicianship. This was a masterclass showcase. No question I’ll be diving into more of their art🤘
I discovered this band accidentally on TH-cam, and since then, I bought and listened to all their albums. They deserve so much more for their genius ! I liked your reactions, I had the same the first time I listened to them ! I was fucking amazed !
BEST reaction by far!! My fav band for the past 5yrs!! Seen the live 3 times. They sound live the albums live. Check out their play throughs. The drummer and the original bass player do this song. The guitarist does a couple play throughs of different songs.
DIGIMORTAL Right there with you man. I’ve heard plenty of musicians that can play at this level but altogether as a some I’ve here seen or heard anything like this. A straight up clinic
This was a great reaction! I loved how enthralled you were and all the energy you put in. These guys are all classically trained and it really shows! I think you'd really like Of Petrichor Weaves Black Noise by the same band. :) And you definitely have a new subscriber!
Mykolas Lavinskas Oh yeah man this wasn’t just a performance this was a god dam clinic. I could tell within 30secs these guys are masters of their craft. They literally sounded like a metal Orchestra. It’s no surprise they’re classically trained. Definitely going to check out more from them. Happy Holidays man🤘
I discovered this band a year ago thanks to Lost in Vegas. Have been listening almost nonstop ever since. The look on your face when the vocals come on at about 3:50 ... yeah, that's it ;)
Scott Hughes Lost In Vegas! Hell yeah Scott that’s my go to love those guys. I started following them about 6-7 months ago so I missed their reaction post for this one. Can’t wait to see their thoughts on it I wonder if they’ll pick up on the Absolute masterclass clinic they put on. Happy Holidays Scott🤘
Okay im subbing, but u have to do A LOT MORE of their songs, I recommend Devour Me, Colossus pt. 1 (blackholes) NEXT! dont keep me waiting for these :D
I remember their first demo named the aurora veil back in 2007. Was blown away right from the start. Recommend you listen to the whole thing in one go. You won't be disappointed.
Another recommendation btw: th-cam.com/video/V9Ty3YnWN80/w-d-xo.html Best Post Rock Band ever. The song is named in reference to a street in vancouver canada, a really frightening part of the city. The mood of the song tells you really good what you can expect there. It was also featured in the movie 28 days later.
Dylan Caldwell I’m a long-standing fan of Neo, I was at their first show back in Melbourne yeaaars ago before they came out with this song and it’s incredible to see this kind of reaction.
"The two of their vocals, I've heard both these types of vocals over (the drummer's goin ape shit) over this... lol 🤣 Bro I'm so glad you got introduced to this band, they are amazingly talented, I was blown away by the different elements they've implemented in this band and they've managed to mesh said elements flawlessly. You should really check out more of them like Intravenus, Painters of the Tempest, and The Curator. You wont be disappointed man. Great reaction too, keep up the good work
Irish 89 Yeah man this wasn’t just a performance this was a god dam clinic. They’re absolute masters of their craft. Definitely going to dive into more of their material no question. Thanks for the recommendations man have a great Xmas/New Years/Holidays 🤘🍻
This was my literal reaction as well. I've listened to the album (Portal of I) front and back at least a few hundred times, and I still never get tired of it. I'd recommend 'Forget Not' or 'As Icicles Fall' next.
You need to get all three of their albums, but you should probably react to a bunch more before you do. Each album is a journey start to finish. React to their video for "Intra Venus." These guys are the new Opeth.
Dude!!! Truck driver here. Finally made it to home for turkey day lol. This was shocking huh? Me too was amazed at this song. Hey you should check out Eluveite "rebirth" and check out the video. It's like a Swiss folk music type but it's pretty frickin awesome also. Hey like always stay true 🤘 and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Rock on 🤘 🤘
Dan (the drummer) ist just not human. Last time I saw them live (april '18) he also filled in for Virvums drummer. As far as I know he played two full sets almost every evening for the whole tour.
I saw them live last september in Tijuana, and it was fucking amazing. I would recommend a song, but they are all great. Probably had the same reaction when i first listened to them. Saludos desde Tijuana Mexico.
wow, i saw the top comment that this was the best reaction to this song and had my doubts, but they were right. no idea who you are, but youve clearly got some knowledge of music. which only increases the appreciation of this incredible song/band. a few suggestions for other songs for you to react to: wintersun - time (somewhat similar to this song in certain ways, but also pretty different. they toured together recently.) orbit culture - the shadowing (ive seen them described as gojira on steroids.) sybreed - decoy
Love Ne Obliviscaris so much! uh completely random request....it just sprung to mind when you said share other live performances to watch.....checkout a song called "Voice of the voiceless" by a band called "Heaven Shall Burn"....specifically the Wacken 2007 performance
Best reaction I’ve seen of this song and dude you gotta go through some others of theirs (devour black holes),painters of the tempest 2), of Petrichor weaves black noise........these guys are sooo unique and it’s hard to make it big in AUS so that’s why the bands really step it up and there is no cookie cutter happening down here
What's up, Dylan? This was a really... Holy Fuckin Shit, That Was Epic! ... great reaction. Next level face melt and beautiful. The electric violin is my favorite instrument of all time. "PHENOMENAL!!" ✌️bro
Dude you should totally listen to the entire Portal of I album and maybe The Aurora Veil if you wish. It's awesome. Main theme: Trying to overcome the loss of a lost one
S4tanMW3 I’m right there with you man trust me. Soon man soon! Hoping to get back at it after the Holiday madness. Speaking of which Happy Holidays have a good one🤘
Check out the Clown is Dead by Axel Rudi Pell (the live version),the vocalist, Johnny Gioeli, is one of the best ive ever heard, and the guitarrist is one of the most underrated, and the song live showcases them at their best. Love your stuff man, its nice to see someone who geuinely loves this type of music discover some hidden gems, rock on man!
Tim Charles - violin & clean vocals Xenoyr - harsh vocals, all lyrics, all artwork Benjamin Baret - guitars (left) Matt Klavin - guitars (right) Martino Garattoni - bass Dan Presland - drums And yes, they are always this good live, every time (have seen them 9x by now)
@@LivingAsABraker definetely no. Tim only creates the melodies and says when/where he wants to sing how many syllables. Then Xenoyr (re)arranges the lyrics around that.
Oh yes mate, great recommendation!. LAUGHED all the way through watching this vid, as i had the same reaction fist time around! 4 years and 6 gigs later and i'm still the same
@@dmusiclife5727 also try to do a lyric video, or have the lyrics close by, as they really take you somewhere else. Its probably the most atmospheric song combined with the lyrics, its absolutely crazy.
This was one of the best collaboration of elements I have ever heard myself...I'm glad to see you discover them Dylan! 😎 You HAVE to check out Gojira's live performance of Where Dragons Dwell Hellfest 2013.
Gojira Rules Yeah man this was a masterclass showcase clinic not just a performance 🤯 And Gojira? I have a shit ton from Gojira to get to. Happy Holidays man🤘
Suggested Be'lakor but didnt suggest Lucid Planet... yet They are my favourite Aussie band without a record deal. Made a great debut all by themselves and now working on their second. Australia has some great bands bro.
TheMetal750 I don’t know what the hell you guys are eating or what’s going on in Australia but your guys are absolutely killing in the music game lately 🤘Cheers my friend 🍻
Dylan Caldwell HOLY FUCK!!!!! I've never heard anything like this, definitely buying album today, these guys are obviously virtuosos!!!! Awesome bro, thanks for turning me on to another killer band!!!!
And I fucking LOVE THE VIOLIN!!!! There's a black chick that plays violin, Karen Briggs I think, plays with Yanni, FUCKING MINDBLOWING Yanni.....MINDBLOWING
You should see the drum playthrough from Dan Presland on the song Forget Not. That guy is honestly the best drummer I have ever seen. Its not only his technical ability, but his phrasing on the drums is simple incredible. The whole band is simply amazing.
One of my personal favs and the second song I eared from them is the very intro of their first album, Tapestries of the Starless Abstract. I eared Forget Not first and then just had to checkout the whole album. Tapestries got me completly hooked because it is predominantly a black metal song, epic and progressive, which reminded me of Emperor. And I'm a big Emperor fan. I'm a patreon supporter of NeO and absolutely love them.
Johnny Awesome man love it! And Emperor! Hell Yeah man. My go to was Mayhem back in the day. And dam man you want to talk about taking it to the extreme! They definitely talked the talked and walked the walk.
Bro7077 Bro I grew up learning and playing multiple instruments so the instruments, rhythms, tempos, time signatures exct always came first to me. The vocal patterns and melodies 2d followed by the lyricism 🤘
That was awesome!! Also a new band to me, i just love that there is so much great stuff out there that is still unknown to me. How are you doing by the way Dylan? Love the new setup. (and mic is way better, or is it just me lol!) So again i want to request Orphaned Land - Halo Dies (The wrath of God) They are an Israeli band and are considered the pioneers of Oriental Metal. The use a lot of eastern influences in their music is just awesome. The song I suggested is of the album Mabool which is completely writen without choruses. I really hope you will consider this one. Won't regret it! -Maurice
Totaly Not Pengu Hey Whats Up Maurice🤘 This wasn’t just a performance this was a god dam clinic. These guys are absolute masters of their craft. Thanks for the feedback man I’ll take note always looking for new mind blowing art. And I’m good man really good thanks for asking. Hope you’re as well man happy Holidays 🤘
I reacted EXACTLY the same way man that was fucking crazy........and the album version sounds exactly the same these guys are perfection.... game over they win
Bunduru 00 Right?! And they made it work I’ve never heard that before it’s usually always heavy during rhythms with clear melodic vocals over the chorus. It was dam refreshing to hear a new twist on it.
Dude, I thought of Gene about 30 seconds before you said his name. That drummer is very very comfortable within his element. When I saw the band, as they were about to play, I thought Cradle of Filth, whom I despise. But these dudes went above and beyond what I expected.
this dude has the absolute best reaction
bloodtrocuted62 🤯🤯🤯🤯 No words, just wow. An absolute clinic
Best fucking NE reaction ever. BEST!
100% my reaction 3 years ago. I wanna hug him so badly.
RiannaQueen 🤘
Without a doubt
See why I've requested this so many times!? This band blows my mind. I'm glad you went for the live one. It's actually pretty damn close to the album version.
Sara Jade Yup I suggested it also haha. Great band. Now he has to do the other Aussie band ;)
Sara Jade I didn’t know than but I For sure as sh*t know now. WTF??!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯 That has to be one of the all time best showcases of extremely high talented musicianship. Ever! Just imagine if people were able to see this on a platform like The Grammys. It would be a complete shutout. All the other performers would know it’s game over. They would be the only thing anybody would be talking about. That’s the sad thing about these huge BS award shows like The Grammys. The average viewer has no idea of what true real talent is and may never see this high level of skill. That said Sara, no words can even describe what that was. I can’t give enough phenomenal shoutouts for this one. THANK YOU Sara have a great weekend
Do Hoeijmans THANKS MAN!!! I’m sure I saw it as I recall seeing them more than a few times. I dug through the comments trying to find as many people that hit me up about them. So again man, Thank You!
Literally my favorite band :D
Fun fact: "And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope" is now part of the teaching curriculum for composition analysis at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, one of Australia's most prestigious classical Conservatories. NeO is from my hometown of Melbourne, Australia and my favourite band. Another Melbourne band for you to check out is Be'lakor, Countless Skies from their Stone's Reach album. Cheers!
Sometimes people with influences from all over the spectrum get together to form a band and the result is beautiful. That’s what this is. I’ve heard bands try and it sounds fake or contrived. This band just flows naturally.
David Bovey YES! you summed it up perfectly. it was so complex and had multiple layers but just flowed so beautifully. This felt like a rock/metal/folk/everything version of a real classical Orchestra. Beautiful indeed
Great reaction! This song was actually studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. That's how much of a masterpiece it is. All of their songs are phenomenal though and you could react to any one of them.
Joseph A'Hearn Oh yeah man no surprise there. This wasn’t a performance it was a god dam clinic. It’s was pretty obvious real quick they’re absolute masters of their craft. Happy Holidays Joseph 🤘
Just found this band a few days ago and has been blowing me away ever since. This is almost scary good, I haven't been this amazed by a band since I discovered Opeth many years ago
Tyler Davis Yeah man this wasn’t a concert it was a masterclass showcase. Phenomenal
Alan Tudyk is killing it on those drums!
Also *_Opeth - Blackwater Park!_* ;)
Notch Johnson That’s his name🤘 I thought afterwards who the F*ck is a his guy!!!! He has to be known world wide right?
@@dmusiclife5727 I know what you mean. His double kick was so tight and almost constant throughout the song!
Actually I found out that his name is Dan Presland. Alan Tudyk is the pilot from Firefly/Serenity and the pirate in Dodgeball, which he just sorta reminded me of when I saw him. :>
Funfact: Apparently he quit his $150.000 per year job to tour with the band.

I think everyone should hear this band.

"And then the fucking violin!". Everyone who knows this song, knew it would manhandle you.
ApostleInTriumph1 Pretty much. Still trying to recover after this one
Iv seen about 15 reaction videos to this song yours is by far the most heartfelt honest reaction out there love it
NeO is great live! Have seen them several times and was never anything but amazed!
A masterclass performance
The lyrics, vocals, guitar, bass, drums plus a violin is all spot on and shows very dedicated musicians.
HybridSoldier777 For sure. This wasn’t a concert it was a masterclass showcase
I love that you are doing an Aussie prog tour. First Karnivool now Ne Obliviscaris. Seriously their prog scene is insaaaane. You neeeered to check out Caligula’s Horse to keep The Aussie prog tour going. Listen to Graves, Marigold, or Rust
Or Dark Hair Down. Or This City Has No Empathy. Or Daughter of the Mountain. Also Twelve Foot Ninja is a must too.
Potadorius yup, love me some twelve foot ninja too. Watching his reaction to one of their music videos would be pretty hilarious too. And yeah, too many good Caligula’s Horse songs to suggest hah.
Yeah man what the hell is going on in Australia??!!!! Hey Australia, WTF??!!!! 🤯🤯
I can’t believe I missed this reaction. They are extremely incredible. The musicians are incredible. Only other group that comes close is Opeth
Such a joy to find ppl's reaction to finding their next new favorite thing!
Love this. The whole package. Bless you.
I just love watching people who enjoy music as much as I do.
fleshconfetti 🤘
Never a dull moment... every second counts. Every piece is amazing. A masterpiece. Great reaction.
When music is life, this is the kind of reaction you should have when listening to this absolute masterpiece.
This song came from an album full of masterpieces. Personally the top of them is As Icicles fall (studio version). It's a poetry amplified by a wall of sound made by gold an steel. The voice of violin, the impassable intricate work of the guitar and bass embraced by the amazing drum work and finally the mastery of the angel and evil voices, so intense and powerful will shock you.

Irish 89 Yeah man this wasn’t just a performance this was a god dam clinic. They’re absolute masters of their craft. Definitely going to dive into more of their material no question. Thanks for the recommendations man have a great Xmas/New Years/Holidays 🤘🍻
@@dmusiclife5727 right back at ya man, merry Christmas and happy new year's to you and yours
Btw "Curator" is just Movement II of "Painters of the Tempest II" 😉
This was my literal reaction as well. I've listened to the album (Portal of I) front and back at least a few hundred times, and I still never get tired of it. I'd recommend 'Forget Not' or 'As Icicles Fall' next.
StrongLiftsReaper Right on thanks🤘
Dude the good lady needs to experience this..!!
You need to get all three of their albums, but you should probably react to a bunch more before you do. Each album is a journey start to finish. React to their video for "Intra Venus." These guys are the new Opeth.
ChucknMcNuggets Absolutely 🤘
Dude!!! Truck driver here. Finally made it to home for turkey day lol. This was shocking huh? Me too was amazed at this song. Hey you should check out Eluveite "rebirth" and check out the video. It's like a Swiss folk music type but it's pretty frickin awesome also. Hey like always stay true 🤘 and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Rock on 🤘 🤘
Dan (the drummer) ist just not human. Last time I saw them live (april '18) he also filled in for Virvums drummer. As far as I know he played two full sets almost every evening for the whole tour.
Dan is a master of his craft at the highest level no question. The guys ridiculous let alone the whole dam band
I really love this guy
I saw them live last september in Tijuana, and it was fucking amazing. I would recommend a song, but they are all great.
Probably had the same reaction when i first listened to them.
Saludos desde Tijuana Mexico.
peque percevault Saludos desde Estados Unidos y felices fiestas 🤘🍻
wow, i saw the top comment that this was the best reaction to this song and had my doubts, but they were right. no idea who you are, but youve clearly got some knowledge of music. which only increases the appreciation of this incredible song/band.
a few suggestions for other songs for you to react to:
wintersun - time (somewhat similar to this song in certain ways, but also pretty different. they toured together recently.)
orbit culture - the shadowing (ive seen them described as gojira on steroids.)
sybreed - decoy
Love Ne Obliviscaris so much! uh completely random request....it just sprung to mind when you said share other live performances to watch.....checkout a song called "Voice of the voiceless" by a band called "Heaven Shall Burn"....specifically the Wacken 2007 performance
6:54 "...and then the fucking violin?!"...you killed me there bro...lmao..
Alberto Covenant 🤘🤘🤘🤘
We are super fucking proud of these guys here in Straya, one of our best metal exports.
Best reaction I’ve seen of this song and dude you gotta go through some others of theirs (devour black holes),painters of the tempest 2), of Petrichor weaves black noise........these guys are sooo unique and it’s hard to make it big in AUS so that’s why the bands really step it up and there is no cookie cutter happening down here
What's up, Dylan?
This was a really... Holy Fuckin Shit, That Was Epic! ... great reaction. Next level face melt and beautiful. The electric violin is my favorite instrument of all time. "PHENOMENAL!!" ✌️bro
Man I'm getting anxiety waiting for your Gojira reactions man!!! On another note, this was an incredible Song! Never heard this band before.
S4tanMW3 Yes his Gojira reactions are awesome too. Go watch them!
@@Deauxtje I've watched them several times each! Stoked for Toxic Garbage Island
Dude you should totally listen to the entire Portal of I album and maybe The Aurora Veil if you wish. It's awesome. Main theme: Trying to overcome the loss of a lost one
@@Celatra Listening right now!
S4tanMW3 I’m right there with you man trust me. Soon man soon! Hoping to get back at it after the Holiday madness. Speaking of which Happy Holidays have a good one🤘
Yay!
Check out the Clown is Dead by Axel Rudi Pell (the live version),the vocalist, Johnny Gioeli, is one of the best ive ever heard, and the guitarrist is one of the most underrated, and the song live showcases them at their best. Love your stuff man, its nice to see someone who geuinely loves this type of music discover some hidden gems, rock on man!
Emi GM Yeah these guys are absolute masters of their craft. This wasn’t a performance this was a god dam clinic!
My dude, that was my fucking reaction as well first time I heard them. It's insane how good they are, I couldn't believe it.
Tim Charles - violin & clean vocals
Xenoyr - harsh vocals, all lyrics, all artwork
Benjamin Baret - guitars (left)
Matt Klavin - guitars (right)
Martino Garattoni - bass
Dan Presland - drums
And yes, they are always this good live, every time (have seen them 9x by now)
RiannaQueen Awesome thanks for the info🤘
I believe Tim co-wrote some of the lyrics, like Painters of the Tempest
@@LivingAsABraker definetely no. Tim only creates the melodies and says when/where he wants to sing how many syllables. Then Xenoyr (re)arranges the lyrics around that.
Now go listen to Be’lakor - The Smoke Of Many Fires please.
Another great Australian band!
Good luck!
Oh yes mate, great recommendation!. LAUGHED all the way through watching this vid, as i had the same reaction fist time around! 4 years and 6 gigs later and i'm still the same
kevin watts You have a new raw diamond with Lucid Planet. Im a fan!
Do Hoeijmans Right on thanks man I’ll take note🤘
@@dmusiclife5727 also try to do a lyric video, or have the lyrics close by, as they really take you somewhere else. Its probably the most atmospheric song combined with the lyrics, its absolutely crazy.
Better to start with Be'lakor - Countless Skies
haha ur reaction is the best man holy shit,i love it :)))
Massive Studios 🤘🤘🤘
This was one of the best collaboration of elements I have ever heard myself...I'm glad to see you discover them Dylan! 😎
You HAVE to check out Gojira's live performance of Where Dragons Dwell Hellfest 2013.
Gojira Rules Yeah man this was a masterclass showcase clinic not just a performance 🤯 And Gojira? I have a shit ton from Gojira to get to. Happy Holidays man🤘
@@dmusiclife5727 Have a great holiday too Dylan! Take care man! 🤘
Devour Me Colossus (Part One) Black Holes should be your next from them.
Sara Jade Thanks Sara!!!!
This band is absolutely mind blowing
Ben Donahue 💯
hell yeah man i knew my aussie brothers would blow your mind! you should do a few more aussie bands mate!
Suggested Be'lakor but didnt suggest Lucid Planet... yet
They are my favourite Aussie band without a record deal. Made a great debut all by themselves and now working on their second. Australia has some great bands bro.
TheMetal750 I don’t know what the hell you guys are eating or what’s going on in Australia but your guys are absolutely killing in the music game lately 🤘Cheers my friend 🍻
Awesome video! You might really enjoy Fallujah.
Jeff Kness Right on🤘
YEEEESSSSS, please please please .. MORE
"AND THEN THE FUCKIN VIOLIN?!?!" lol lost it there
Dan Presland, the drummer, has a YT channel and does playthrough. Sick band
Dylan Caldwell HOLY FUCK!!!!! I've never heard anything like this, definitely buying album today, these guys are obviously virtuosos!!!! Awesome bro, thanks for turning me on to another killer band!!!!
And I fucking LOVE THE VIOLIN!!!! There's a black chick that plays violin, Karen Briggs I think, plays with Yanni, FUCKING MINDBLOWING Yanni.....MINDBLOWING
You should see the drum playthrough from Dan Presland on the song Forget Not. That guy is honestly the best drummer I have ever seen. Its not only his technical ability, but his phrasing on the drums is simple incredible. The whole band is simply amazing.
Yeah man the guys Ridiculous Behind The Kit
One of my personal favs and the second song I eared from them is the very intro of their first album, Tapestries of the Starless Abstract. I eared Forget Not first and then just had to checkout the whole album.
Tapestries got me completly hooked because it is predominantly a black metal song, epic and progressive, which reminded me of Emperor. And I'm a big Emperor fan.
I'm a patreon supporter of NeO and absolutely love them.
Johnny Awesome man love it! And Emperor! Hell Yeah man. My go to was Mayhem back in the day. And dam man you want to talk about taking it to the extreme! They definitely talked the talked and walked the walk.
This song is incredible. I had the same reaction when I saw this
Tazzwar Azam Right??!!! This wasn’t a performance this was a god dam clinic. A masterclass showcase🤯🤯🤯🤯
I’m usually too into instrumental stuff but wow. Thank you
Bro7077 Bro I grew up learning and playing multiple instruments so the instruments, rhythms, tempos, time signatures exct always came first to me. The vocal patterns and melodies 2d followed by the lyricism 🤘
Back for this reaction May 2023!
That was awesome!! Also a new band to me, i just love that there is so much great stuff out there that is still unknown to me.
How are you doing by the way Dylan? Love the new setup. (and mic is way better, or is it just me lol!)
So again i want to request Orphaned Land - Halo Dies (The wrath of God)
They are an Israeli band and are considered the pioneers of Oriental Metal. The use a lot of eastern influences in their music is just awesome. The song I suggested is of the album Mabool which is completely writen without choruses.
I really hope you will consider this one. Won't regret it!
-Maurice
Totaly Not Pengu Hey Whats Up Maurice🤘 This wasn’t just a performance this was a god dam clinic. These guys are absolute masters of their craft. Thanks for the feedback man I’ll take note always looking for new mind blowing art. And I’m good man really good thanks for asking. Hope you’re as well man happy Holidays 🤘
Dude, you have to do: Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios
no Right on 🤘
I reacted EXACTLY the same way man that was fucking crazy........and the album version sounds exactly the same these guys are perfection.... game over they win
MichaelRSouthgate Game Over indeed man. Phenomenal
Power Trip - Soul Sacrifice
Power Trip - Crucifixation
Power Trip - Divine Apprehension
Power Trip - Hornet’s Nest
:)
Scott Johnson 🤘
Senses overload lol such a good song 🤙
kurlym0e Right??!!! I didn’t want to talk the whole time as there was so much going on I didn’t want to miss anything.
Interesting the different vocals at the same time, noice and heavy as well keep'em coming dude 46&2.
Bunduru 00 Right?! And they made it work I’ve never heard that before it’s usually always heavy during rhythms with clear melodic vocals over the chorus. It was dam refreshing to hear a new twist on it.
Just found your channel and I fucking love your reactions!! Please do "the silent life" by Rivers of nihil has a beautiful saxophone section!
Daniel Parker Right on Daniel I’ll take note man thanks 🤘
"With the VIOLIN!" 🤣🤣🤣
I suggested this too haha. im going to watch your video now. I bet you like it :)
Uhm, why haven't you gone back to these guys in the last year?
You should check out meshuggah, most people start with "bleed" but try "ivory tower" of their newest album!
bud j Right on 🤘
Same emotions, bro. Absolutely same emotions!!!
Well done D.
OmegaProxy 🤘
Dude, I thought of Gene about 30 seconds before you said his name. That drummer is very very comfortable within his element. When I saw the band, as they were about to play, I thought Cradle of Filth, whom I despise. But these dudes went above and beyond what I expected.
