IMO ABR has always been the best metalcore band consistently
Insanity On A Bun they’ve been doing it FOREVER!
Agreed
Absolutely agreed they're such a soiled band
Anybody heard of or like Bury Tomorrow?
One of my personal favorites out there 🤘
That’s a great and on-point opinion!
The goats of metalcore. Hands down.
1:20 - show me those critics, because then they don't know shit about metalcore. ABR are one of the few metalcore bands that actually write true heavy metalcore (almost without cleans, so no selling out or appeasing to mass audience) AND are universally praised in the scene for their music and how consistently good they are. Also not fans of ABR generally agree on this.
Yes man
This was the band that got me into metal, first metalcore song I ever heard was Composure off of Messengers. I’ll love them forever.
An instant banger, that's for sure. And 2 BREAKDOWNS?! Ugh, yes please.
Good commentary dudes, and I totally know what you mean about guitar playing being heavily influenced. I'm guilty of having very BTBAM and Protest The Hero kind of guitar playing lol. And that's sick Jake wants to check out your tune too! That's super solid of him. But again good video guys, enjoyed the honest on topic convo from you guys!
METALBIRB Thanks so much. Have been a fan of your channel for a very long time. Yeah, it’s sick he’s going to check it out and film a reaction to it! Can’t believe it! Look forward to more of your content. Keep in touch!!
Thrill seeker was my first metal album when I was 8. Such a groundbreaking record at the time. Still is.
Camden Smith so so good
You were 8 and listening to thrill seeker?!? I think I saw Backstreet Boys when I was 8...
@@andrewbrown7408 heck yea dude, I got started young 😅
You guys are sick. Love the video. Who could ever doubt August Burns red. Their fucking timeless
I’ve been a long time fan of August burns red as well, it’s nice to relate to your outlook on them! This song hits hard and I love it, I’ve never heard of your band before but I love this reaction and your insight so I’m going to give you guys a shot right now 🤘
burnout1256 Hope you like what we have to offer! New single soon that has a bit of a different sound and tone!
Yup. Going through your TH-cam channel like a true stalker. LOL I loved this one and the video was sick!
You know what I just realized? You guys don't ever stop the song when it's playing. It's refreshing. With some people's channels, I'm screaming at the screen "just play the GD song!" :)
That was freakin Sick I love it
Those breakdowns are incredible!!
Yeah
I been a ABR fan since the beginning.. Matt is prolly the best drummer.. all around..
One among the feeeEeeeEeEEEeeeence!!!!
Great tune here! I love the way this album is shaping up. Fan from Northern NH here. Good shit guys!...
When you throw a hardcore breakdown into metalcore, fucking beautiful!
One of my favorite aspects of ABR is the element of Truth in their lyrics. That line, "righteous wrath wrapped in empathy," is something that goes right down to the very essence of God, which is the balance between Truth and Love within Awareness. If you look up the phrases, "Truth without Love," or, "Love without Truth," then you'll see what I mean...
Truth without Love is a brutal killer, and Love without Truth is a lying hypocrite. It's only in the incorporation and balance of both that harmony can exist.
Love of Truth in Awareness is the Trinity of God.
This is my own unique perspective and message to the world. You don't have to be a religious person to understand the values of Awareness, Truth, and Love.
On the one side, you have Truth and Reason, and on the other side, you have Love and Compassion.
Balance those.
Look up "balance mind and heart" on Google and look at the image results. You'll find a picture of a person walking a tightrope holding a balancing pole. On one side of it is a brain, and on the other side is a heart. At the bottom of the image is the word "Life."
I love how I can listen to heavy music and still discuss about such great topics!
Guys! Awesome review! ABR is hands down my favorite band! This song blew me away🤘🤘. I just listened to your guys EP. shit was brutal🤘 I’m ready to hear a full album!
chris hernandez SOON! But new single even sooner!!
That video/song combo is a freaking journey
6:51 so true
Thanks to Jakes review I have a couple of your songs on my metal playlist 🤘🏻
Thank you!!
abr just keep getting better every album and song they drop
React to the new Code Orange track, “Swallowing The Rabbit Whole” it’s chaos
AverageMike Oh, it’s on the list!
AverageMike we did it and it got blocked.
this song is fucking filthy and thrill seeker is still my favorite album by them

Sick intro..
Not long ago you reacted to a little aussie band. Saying the scene is popping down under.
Well well.
You need to check out the band, "To The Grave" either song Ecocide or Wastage. It's up to you guys. Both hit hard.
(Also adding how Richard didnt know what to do with his head when it transitioned into the first verse when it started bouncing around 🤣) Great song, just saw them in Cincy witj Silverstien and Silent Planet not long ago.

Veil of maya: mikasa
Thomas Thornton Already know the song! Veil of Maya is AWESOME.
TrueShot Official I would expect nothing less from you guys. Let’s try this one, Adestria: scarlet letter
Thomas Thornton Now that is one we are NOT familiar with!
@@TrueShotOfficial Adestria is so good. Highly recommend checking anything from the Chapters album.
At the end breakdown with the lyrics, whichever one of the guitarists came up with the chords is a genius. There are 2 chords in there that always make me smile because they are so unique and unconventional. "B-grade metalcore band"... That's an opinion that is easily disagreed with.
Oh we both love ABR. Just being a devil’s advocate! They’re the best.
@@TrueShotOfficial Ah that's awesome :D I didn't mean to sound salty or anything haha. Have a good one bros
ABR a B class metalcore band? Right, & Stephen Curry, Christian Yellich, & Aaron Donald are all B class athletes.
We never said they were!
TrueShot Official correct, you were referring to other people who have said that which I was commenting on.
Well the critics are wrong 😂
B level my ass lol
Have to be the Devil’s Advocate! We love ABR!
Hey no problem there hahaha we all have our opinion
