Can't go wrong with these guys. They have such a unique sound. This album almost overwhelms me with nostalgia. I used to cut out some of the breakdowns from certain songs and use it as ring tones, which sometimes made me very slow to answer because of how awesome it was to listen to 😂
Thats a very early 2000s thing to do which is why the nostalgia is strong with this one.
I had "the return of the Shadows" as a ringtone.
I'm pretty sure I had cities of the future as my ringtone for a while, Vicious Delicious is definitely one of my fav albums of all time
Vicious Delicious released 07.
I had the break from forgive me as a ringtone for years
I'm so glad you did this song! Many metalheads such as myself enjoy IM, they have a very progressive vibe. Always a pleasure to see these worlds collide.
TBH I have first read Mushroomhead, but no regrets, it is very interesting music
They definitely have a pop cheesy electronic sound. Once you go deeper into the rabbit hole it is difficult to enjoy anything with this much cheese.
Was also more than a Decade ago surprised, how much I Enjoy them as a Metalhead. Went to some Concerts over the Years and their shit still slaps xD Shows me, how Open minded we are or can be ;)
@@TheCkhutton12 Check out their early albums, particularly "BP Empire". Same style but without any of the pop cheese.
That's wild, my college roommate was into this music and he knew I was a metalhead so he showed me this song specifically thinking I would like it and I loved it!
One of my favourite gigs ever was seeing infected mushroom in Australia 00s in the forest during a rainstorm, magic.
Sounds like an amazing experience!
Same(-ish), except it was in Sweden, four (I think) years later. Then along came Covenant and took us the rest of the way into bliss.
Which year? I saw them few times in Australia too. Was it after IM the Supervisor?
The ones on the stage back then could not have been the only infected mushrooms around...
10th anniversary earthcore? I was at that 🍄
Every song in Vicious Delicious is amazing. It's like they have unrestricted access to the listeners brain.
'Return to the source' , 'More than Just a Name' are also awesome albums too, but always listen to all my faves when going from here to there/commuting.
For real, one of the few albums where I like every song
@@sophiepooks2174 I loved Return to the source - they finally stop being a rock band and went back to the source heh
Long time Infected Mushroom fan here: they’re traditionally a psychedelic trance act (yes, think energetic raves in clubs, the forest/desert, and on the beach). They are classical trained musicians though and have branched into loads of genres but certainly rock/metal vibes quite a bit.
Check tracks similar to Heavyweight:
- Dancing with Kadafi
- Project 100
- The Messenger 2012
I second Dancing with Kadafi. That song is a pure masterpiece
I'll add Stretched to that list as well!
@@FarazOloumi Stretched is absolutely amazing and I keep forgetting about it!
Herbert the pervert is an underrated song with lots of rock/metal vibes as well. Despite the name, the song is amazing.
@@joonge00 one of my favs off Black Shawarma
If you dive into the Infected Mushroom cataluge some more, give "Becoming Insane" and "saeed" a listen ♥
Saeed absolutely. Throw in some Shakawkaw for funzies.
Oh wowww definitely Saeed!!!
listen to La Trib Ani Utruch by them, mush mushi, thank me later .
All of BP Empire is a bomb!
I also wanted to recommend saeed
Infected mushroom does two different types of concerts, either a 'DJ set' with just the two main guys or a 'full band' the former being more rave like because of the venues.
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life
Hey Geebz, this is actually the second time you're dissecting an Infected Mushroom song, the first one being 'Guitarmass' :-) I really love them and will try to catch them live later this year on their tour. Another track from the same album I adore is the title track 'Vicious Delicious', which has such an awesome and over the top climax it will have you reeling! Can't wait to see how you react to that one... Keep it up #channeloftheyear
Oh man, that's so funny but somehow I did recall hearing about them - ha - now I know why. The older I get the better I was!
Infected is their own genre more or less :) Fantastic music
I’m so excited for you to find their Song “Pink Froid” from the album “Converting Vegetarians II” such incredible patience and dedication by them to replicate the style of Pink Floyd all the while implementing their own to really meld together this articulate masterpiece!
All their albums up to this point were great. I'd recommend practically any track off any of them.
This was great! Infected Mushrooms usually plays at festivals with the main focus on Psychedelic Trance as DJ's, But they also does tours with a full band. I would recommend checking out Their 2003 album Converting Vegetarians. The sound design on that album is out of this world. It's a double album with the first disc being all psy-trance and the second disc is more experimantal stuff. I would check out the opening track Albibeno and Shakawkaw from the 2. disc.
Thanks again for another great video.
Thanks for the info!
Infected Mushroom usually play Psytrance, this is a psytrance-hybrid track that strays from usual psytrance formulas. Infected Mushroom and other Psytrance acts play at Bush Doofs: i.e. outdoor psytrance hippie parties out in rural areas.
My Israeli pride is exploding every time i hear Infected and see how many ppl globally simply adore them
Totally forgot how many hooks this song has...pretty impressive
From The burning Man to underground raves and urban areas you can toss a rock and find somebody that'll play an infected mushroom for you.
Personally for me, infected mushroom is just such a fun and energetic group to listen to while you're doing things. I don't have any background in professional music so I'm speaking as a listener.
Normally I find myself listening to these guys while I'm working we're playing video games of course. But I always find their songs to be perfect in the sense that they understand how to keep momentum going and fully energetic while slowing down the tempo and I absolutely love that about them.
I like your channel dude I'm subbing 👍
Another excellent choice mang! These guys are typically classified as psytrance (portmanteau of psychedelic trance), a genre I fell in love with around 2010 when searching for background music to help me write. You keyed right into what got me hooked on IM in your first break, and I love the mix of electronic/digitally generated sounds with acoustic drums and guitars. To my ears, they push that even further on their album “Legend of the Black Shawarma”, which is full of bangers and absolutely worth a listen (“Saaed” just doesn’t quit and “Project 100” and “Franks” are super cool). I could go on, but for all of our sakes I’ll stop here.
These guys (and the genre writ large) aren’t super popular in the states, so in the past they’ve toured in smaller venues (100’s to 1000’s of people), but also perform at huge multi-day festivals like you’re thinking of. Last time they came through NYC they played a theater that holds ~2k.
I’m still here mang and lookin forward to what you listen to next. Awwwright 🤙🤙🤙
saaed is such a banger
Psytrance is more correct for their first 3 albums. You need the steady 4/4 beat for trance.
Their later stuff is harder to classify...
wooo Mushroom!.... They are typically described as "Psychedelic Acid Trance" Vicious Delicious was a particularly "rock" focused album I felt. Always amazing music though.
Psytrance is how I've always heard them categorized as
Heavy use of guitars in Legend of the Black Shawarma too, moreso than Vicious Delicious.
Dancing With Kadafi is an Infected Mushroom u need to check out
👍🏼🤗
Yes!
These guys are geniuses, theres a doccie on youtube somewhere where they show off their studio and go through some of their creative processes, really awesome stuff.
They started out as a core psytrance act and so mostly played outdoor psy parties in Isreal, but have now evolved into a more general cross-genre EDM act and usually play alternative stages at EDM parties.
They do play at clubs but also beautiful sceneries like old temples, forests etc. And their very much psychedelic inspiried band, which bandname kinda reliefs.
I went to a great one in a car park for a post shpongle gig after party / launch event, was absolutely mad
For me IM was almost borderline psytrance.. Aaaaand many of their synths are actually vocoder. Their own plugin Manipulator actually does it all. Effects incoming audio per pitch and formant setting and allows you to play it with a midi controller. Including mod and pitch wheel! 😀 which is probably why it feels so analog..
Think this is my favourite IM track it was great to see your reaction to it! I love a bit of shpongle as well as metal and also ott is well worth checking out for just electronicy psychedelicy dub stuff, bet you’ll love it
Still with you Geebz! since the beginning man!! As a metal artist I have to say infected mushroom is one of my biggest influences outside of the world of metal and I'm super happy that you did this song. Another one you should really check out is Artillery and, also, Becoming Insane. Both of those tracks are off of the same album as this one
Infected Mushroom is one of the best bands. Makes mowing the lawn fun ahahaha
They're so good. Fans were pleasantly surprised when they released Spitfire in 2017. You can definitely recognize an IM song.
Definetly the lyric versions of the song too, ehm ehm...
That beat at 1:31 is straight out of the Vectory Groovebox in Native Instruments Reaktor. I feel like a proud nerd to recognize that.
Since we're going down this route, I'd love to watch your reaction on Shpongle - I Am You. Just a masterclass on semiotics of music
This!!! Schpongle is a gold mine
Dude, anything from Shpongle would be incredible. I recommend Electroplasm, but any of their songs would be great
What a pleasant surprise. I only know a few tracks from them, but this one is on my favorites list. Thank you for your reaction.
Infected Mushroom were one of my first forays into electronic music. The rock instrumentation made it easier for my 13-year-old self to get into it. This song is one of my favorites!
Haha you are absolutely right about this being played in raves!
This is psychedelic music and "ment" to be listened while on psychedelics and the experience on those is absolutely magical
Not what I was expecting lol. WOW.
I was going to write that all of this album is great to pick from but then realized that's not quite true: All of their ENTIRE WORK is great to pick from.
IM are geniuses! You’re right, they take so many styles and meld them together. The first tune I heard by them was this tune! It immediately reminded me of being in the late 80’s stadium rock and Erez the keyboardist actually does a lot of the “guitar solos” with his keyboard on differs tunes. There are some videos of him doing it in concert
Infected Mushroom had a few songs that were fairly popular in the rhythm game Osu! That's how I was introduced personally.
One of my classics is Juno Reactor's "Jardin de Cecile" from their Bible of Dreams". Amazing timemachine for me , back to the weird days in the late 90's...
Juno reactor is absolutely incredible, highly recommend!
Juno Reactor is DA BOMB!
Juno Reactor is so underappreciated beyond the tracks they did for the Matrix movies!
@@vojtechhoracek7704 absolutely, man!
There is an Infected Mushroom song for everyone. There is no genre they haven't touched and absolutely slayed. Seeing them live at Motion Notion in 2011 was life changing. They are literally the best DJ's in the world. Got to shake Erez's hand and say it to his face.
Yesss please more Infected Mushroom! They will take you on so many amazing journeys! 👏
Over in California there is a few places that they will occasionally show up at, usually venues that will have a bit more of the unusual types of Genre like Tool or Primus style occasionally. They are not the most packed venues, but there are for sure people showing up. Overall the vibe is somewhere between a space cadet gathering and ravers taking a chill day. It's just a pretty chill and fun time.
I am an old dude turning 60 soon and been playing guitar since 1977 after seeing Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden. I am also very psychedelic and love all types of electronic music especially bands that add real instruments to the music. Sphongle & Infected Mushroom are two of my favorite bands because I get bored of the traditional sounding instruments you hear on every album. I luckily live in the most psychedelic city on the planet which is Austin TX and saw Infected Mushroom at a local venue about a year ago. Of course I ate a large dose of psilocybin mushrooms before the show which made for a very amazing experience. I sure hope you are still using psychedelics because I am am enjoying them more now at age 60 then when I took my first hit of LSD in 1978 at a Black Sabbath concert. I will be eating mushroom when I am 90 years old in a nursing home and my wheel chair will be decked out in LEDS. And you asked where this music is played. This music is played in all types of venues from small stages at Burning Man to main stages at festivals and local "rave" clubs in every city. My advice Key of Geebz is to get hold of some shrooms, drop a couple of grams, turn on, tune in, drop out and start some psychedelic decomposing. Infected Mushroom are amazing producers and you can can check out their workflow in any of their many videos on YT. Infected Mushroom's only rule in the studio is there are no rules. th-cam.com/video/YJWPcBYqmig/w-d-xo.html. th-cam.com/video/7NaWAuld8JM/w-d-xo.html. And check out Sphongle live in Red Rocks 2019. th-cam.com/video/uRiTKZfsMQQ/w-d-xo.html. They are amazing and worth watching the entire show as It is mindblowing.🍄😎
Not only you reacted to Infected Mushroom but Heavyweightttttttttt I absolutely love this song and have interesting memories! I've always been surrounded by musicians in my life and they also say the same thing that if you don't have the background or know instruments or theory you hear things differently even though it doesn't mean you don't feel it but you describe or express it in other ways such as dancing and for I loveeee progressive bands because you're on a journey and every single time I listen to songs like this it is like the first time, goosebumps and joy. :>
Friends and I used to eat acid and try to match muted shows or movies to albums. This album plus a show called Manhunters was without a doubt one of the most excellent experiences in my life. It was perfect.
its not what you consume but the friends you're with
This is one of my favorite songs my college roommate showed me then I came home and showed all my friends. I haven't met many people who know infected mushroom let alone this song, this makes me so happy!
Tbh if there was a venue near me where they played infected mushroom I would go to raves more often.
I'm always still here geebz! It's always wonderful and eye opening to see how open you are to hearing and experiencing new music.
I would definitely agree that music like this would be mind blowing with great visual show and some psychedelics! Hah
I LOVE Infected Mushroom, everything they do is a banger if you are a fan of the style.
They also did a song with the singer of Korn called "Smashing the Opponent" would love to see you check it out some day!
And evilution with datsik and Jonathan Davis
Geebz, another wonderful reaction. I can say this with 100% certainty that plenty of us that watch you weekly are also playing instruments and/or composing to a some degree. Feel free to dive in to the technicalities and that "nerdy stuff", you won't scare all of us away! Awwwwright!
Sir, I wish I could hear what you are hearing. And just as I was thinking that, you say the exact same thing in your comment. Awesome watching you react to songs.
Wooo! Someone did a very good thing and pointed you at the most interweaved rock and psybient - relevant for you with the cool heavy stuff, cool for me - not many people decompose psybient. I actually appreciated a lot how you tried to combine years of digital composing into a 20 minute video when dissecting Shpongle. :3
Nice to see a professional react to Infected Mushroom!
Once you start digging into Infected Mushroom you'll find so many great songs. I feel that CD 2 of their Converting Vegetarians album was a game changer for them creatively. Got a lot more experimental and it seems they took that into their next albums starting from Vicious Delicious. I don't even know where to start with supplying a list of good songs since there are so many. I thought their latest album (More than Just a Name) was really good too. Prolly has been my favorite band for like 20 years and it's amazing that they still go strong. Also released one of my favorite youtube concerts during the pandemic. It's a really good mix of their work and it looks amazing. It's called the Extended Reality Set and is pretty damn amazing.
You mentioned shpongle - Simon (one of the members) posted your reaction to the shpongle FB group, with the line "great he reacted, I wish he did a better song of ours"
My head feels like a frisbee is peak shpongle
The gnomes have learned a new way to say hoorah.
It's actually DuvDev signing with a huge amount of pitch shift effects to sound female. He called the voice DuvDevAni.
Rave parties late 90s. Early 00s I saw them live. With drum's guitar and the whole set of a f...ng awesome band!
Lmao, you already did infected mushroom
I have this album, but when I start my Infected Mushroom playlist, I keep going back to “The Black Shawarma” and looping it so I fall asleep to it and wake up to it. I guess I could say it’s my favorite of theirs.
Don't find many people reacting to infected mushroom. It's a shame because they are really amazing. One of the very few groups that I will forever go back and listen to sooooo many amazing songs. Great music to anything to.
I believe you decomposed a song of theirs before. Everyone suggested this song, which is awesome.
Still here!
Guitar mass
So glad someone recommended these guys to you. Stumbled across them years ago when music streaming services first started up. Always been a fan of finding new music to listen to and at the time was checking out tracks on every new release each week to see if it was worth continuing to listen to the album. As soon as I heard these guys they were added to my library and have been a fan ever since. Thank you for spreading the word to more people.
Funny thing is that the drums are not analog but programmed, they’re true sound wizards, btw this was released on 2007/6, not 1996. Also the leads are indeed synths, long live Erez & Amit!
Similar wavelength to this would be to react to some of Shpongle - Dorset Perception
You Should react to smashing the opponent
I like Infected Mushroom, and I've had this track playing around for over a decade. For 1st person shooter video game music, you should see Mick Gordan's "The Only Thing They Fear is You" from Doom Eternal.
Here's a link to it: th-cam.com/video/Aqk7x_w1H98/w-d-xo.html
I'm still here!
Thanks for doing this one. I would recommend song "Project 100", it has similar vibe and complexity.
U now have covered my two favourite bands Tool and Infected and I love your breakdowns
in terme of dimension everchanging, Milosh of IM is quite interesting. the change are far more subtle, but the result is also on point.
great react by the way.
and if you want a suggestion in a totaly different direction. i would say Danheim : Darkfolk nords("viking") music
For exemple Reida by Danheim
Crazy this came out in 2007, simultaneously feels right but also wrong for the time. I was only 8 back then so it feels like such a long time ago when I know it really wasn't, 2017 was just one decade later but I remember 2017 like it basically just happened
Other way around, Aphex Twin!
@@Allan_Stone two weeks ago 👀
i think he’s referring to the intro where he mixed up the name and got it wrong
It's played in my car on the way to and from work almost every day.
Thanks for the video! Love all the breakdowns. One band I’ve never seen is Corrosion of Conformity. They’re incredible, like a bluesy Metallica, and actually spent years touring with Metallica. The lead singer, Pepper Keenan, was also in a band called Down that featured Pantera’s lead singer, Phil Anselmo. For Corrosion of Conformity you can’t go wrong with anything off the Deliverance, Wiseblood or In the Arms of God albums, but I’d suggest “Seven Days,” “Never Turns to More” or “Senor Limpio.”
America's Volume Dealer is such an under appreciated album, yet very important in their evolution. Amazing band, both in the studio and live.
Rich tAMB
I remember reading they like being based in the US now because they can get around unknown, because in their native Israel they are too well known. I really like Infected Mushroom Live at KCRW : The Pretender (Foo Fighters Cover). One of the few covers I prefer to the original. Also, 'Smashing the opponent' which has Jonathan Davis from Korn doing the vocals.
Whilst you are going down this path Geebz, it would be cool if you got back to Igorr. I reckon you'd like the video for Igorrr - Himalaya Massive Ritual Recording (so you can see all the instruments they are playing).
The song of theirs called Nation of Wusses (i had to look up the name, i usually just listen to the whole album; never would have guessed that's what it's called) has one of my favorite musical moments of all time. It's only 1 min out of the 7 min track, but the first half gradually builds to it and i find it completely euphoric - it's brought me to tears on several occasions. I agree with others here, though, that I'd love for you to do Becoming Insane - i think it'd be a better fit for this channel and is another of my favs from them.
*Walking down the hallways of my middle school and feeling my skin crawl with to much energy*
First time here! I like, how you express music through mimics. I'm like that too, but I make the weirdest faces while playing guitar. :) Nice video +sub
They have so many great tracks. Please do Becoming Insane or The Messenger or the Army of Mushrooms Mix
love this band, such amazing composition on their tracks!
I have to say, even though so many albums and songs are great, Heavyweight brings back the most memories and feelings.
there used to be a fan made video with scenes from Fight Club for this song, must have looped that hundreds on times back in the day.
aloha!
OOOH Infected Mushrooms, good choice.
Never in my life have a heard a track tell a story so well without a single word
Ok Geebz. This was totally unexpected. So happy you're reacting to IM. Great song selection too.
How about some Ozric Tentacles? Dance of the Loomi or White Rhino Rea would be great places to start.
you seem fairly openminded and knowledgable about basics of edm actually. i'm not well versed in all the sub genres myself. IM has went through so many changes over the years. listening to classical mushroom album and then their most recent stuff it is like an entirely different genre. i love this song but personally i think there is tons of better ones as an introduction like The messenger (original) or dancing with kadafi. they really are extremly diverse. good vid!
Aah maan.. Vicious Delicious is an all time fave of mine.
It's definetly more rock oriented then their other albums.
another goods songs to analyze are "pink froid" "project 100" or "bliss on mushroom"
good choice by them. my favorite song to work to
This track is a masterpiece
My man needs to review Tipper - Goner. Would pay good money for that review
I've been listening to this Duo for almost 20 years! Actually, I'm going to see them tomorrow. They typically do their own concerts at music halls or whatnot. IM tends to exist adjacent to rave scene stuff. There's overlap, but it's kind of its own thing.
Yea, absolutely this music is great if you have some decent booms :)
Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole album. Even during my peak metalhead days, I was digging this!
If you want to get into some heady stuff ffrom IM, "In Front Of Me" mixes nicely with "Artillery" as an anthem to PTSD. 😢
This song leads directly into Suliman, which is imo the best song on the record. Give it a listen sometime!
This particular song you will only hear at an Infected Mushroom show. This is not rave music, or house club music. This is quite niche. Best song they've made by far. Commibg from a guy who have seen them live about 20 times int different cities in north america
Hey! React to The Last Baron by Mastodon! Heck of a listen, beautiful and epic progressive metal.
Yes!
All this Goa Trance, have its roots in Progressive Rock, or Psychedelic Progressive Rock. When the Hippies went to Goa in India. and start the Goa Parties , Raves over there and then became Psy Trance
Thanks for doing this trak, still here :)
As you explore the electronic side of things, I'd love to hear your take on 1.618 or Dynamic Symmetry by BT on the album This Binary Universe. One of the first albums mixed in 5.1 surround, it has such a wild mix of sounds yet would be best described as electronic classical music, really an engineer's dream type album to review, would love to hear your takes!
is there gonna be a Cannibal Corpse "decomposing" one of these vids GEEBZ?
Apex twin lol almost had it. And also genre psy trance for infected mushroom and same with shpongle but more down tempo. Greats stuff awesome to see you reviewing out there stuff like this. Great to watch. One too check out is kalya scintilla. And tipper. You will really dig it. Great videos brotha aloha yeeeee
Your question around 10:50, but yeah Infected Mushroom plays the glowstick type nightclubs and rave-style music festivals. I'm sure back in the early 2000's they played the old-school rave scene as well! You're spot on about that.
He's only couple minutes in and already starts to love it :) And I'm sitting here and thinking: Oh, bro, you have no idea what is coming on you :D The track is real masterpiece, fun and so beautiful! I love that you love it as I do.
