This proves that Nik's reactions are genuine first-time watches, because there's no way he would have made this video if he knew how weak these breakdowns were going to be lmao
My favorite breakdown of all time is definitely the ending of “Reign of Darkness” by Thy Art is Murder. The drum fills in there are so filthy and the mixing is so excellent
As soon as I read this comment I could hear this breakdown in my head that drum part is so fucking cool Very fun to play I can't think of another example that utilizes the starts and stops and fills in the rests like that, thy arts drummer is nastyyyy
@@Madchris8828 i have a lack of a car and driving license also i don’t have social media so i would have to do a deep dive into my cities metal scene HOWEVER whenever i get a license i shall be going many places in order to see shows
My favorite breakdown of all time is probably New Millenium Cyanide Christ by Meshuggah. Only because it starts with only guitars and bass on a strange pattern, so you kinda expect it to go into a weird time signature, but then the cymbals and snare start going on 4/4 and at that point your neck just moves on its own. Bleed from Within did something similar for Killing Time, only for a much shorter breakdown, so it doesn't really feel the same. But it still is an insane way to warn the listener before a breakdown
New Millennium Cyanide Christ is my favorite song by Meshuggah, my favorite band. Happy to see you mention it, that breakdown is nasty and I would listen to a 1 hour version of it. Cheers to you!
Happens twice in the song even. Once about half way through, and again at the end... then of course Pierced you have Thrones of Blood which might even be a better pit.
I've always liked Bryan's voice so much, I got into Knocked Loose in 2017 when they were on Warped Tour and I was 16 at the time, and I always thought they were sick af
I got really into KL lately, the only real criticism I hear about them is the vocals and I can understand it honestly. I did hear someone describe them as mickey mouse vocals and now I can’t unhear that, but I still like the vocals a lot
My personal favs are: Carnifex - Lie to my Face The Acacia Strain - Carbomb Demolisher - Destroy Suicide Silence - Destruction of a Statue Knocked Loose - Oblivions Peak Lorna Shore - Sun Eater Spite - The Most Ugly Suffokate - Not The Fallen
Hated the Knocked Loose vocals for the longest time but after I heard Brian on that Motionless song I really started to like them and they are now one of my favourite bands😂
I love all my metalcore and deathcore breakdowns but the breakdown in Liege of Inveracity (a.k.a. the first slam riff ever) is GOATED and gets me going like little else. That riff was so good it spawned an entire genre of people making entire songs of that riff, being slam. So yeah big deserved for them being on here. Also, cool seeing Dali thundering concept being mentioned here. Overall solid list of the more known and unknown bands.
Saw Suffocation live 4 times now. With David Culross, Frank and the gang 3 times and once with the new Vocalist and Eric Morotti behind the kit and lemme tell you, I'm a sucker for the old but Eric added some spice to the breakdown that just hit hardddd. One of the heaviest moments of my 50+ concert life (mainly deathcore and death metal) lol
NIK, DO YOUR OWN TOP 10 LIST!!! Also... the breakdowns have so much more impact when they're in context with the rest of the song - they just hit THAT much harder :):):)
Not sure if it qualifies as "ugly" or whatnot, but the breakdown for Spiritbox's Hysteria is one of my personal favorites. Hard to think of another song that so beautifully builds into a breakdown like that.
That breakdown live was so perfect. Actually such a great band. Seeing them for the third time later this year, and cannot wait for another vip ticket purchase
Best breakdown I'm not sure, but the most disgusting breakdown I've ever heard was in "I’m so Tired of Sighing. Please Lord, Let It Be Night" by Black Tongue
Saw them at the good things festival which was headlined by bmth and deftones. Bmth was a better show sure but jinjer was easily the best performance out of everyone there. Sound so much better live
Imo, architects' These colours don't run Breakdown at the end is one of the best I've ever heard or at least the best architects breakdown ever, love that one so much!
Of course there are several breakdowns I enjoy. But often those come into your mind that you heard recently, soooooooo…tierlist 1. Bleeding Sun - Chelsea Grin 2. Animals - Architects 3. Lost in a Wave - LANDMVRKS 4. Panic Waves - Our Promises 5. Defender - August Burns Red 6. Relief - ACCVSED Check them out you wont regret it ;)
My top 10: Spirit Box - Holy Roller (feat. Ryo Kinoshita) Crystal Lake - Aeon Molotov solution - The Final Hour Immortal Disfigurement - Dragged into the Inferno Suicide silence - No Pity for a Coward Falling in Reverse - Drugs (feat. Corey Taylor) Humanity's Last Breath - Abyssal Mouth Shrine of Malice - Lord of the Flies (feat. Tom Barber) Beyond All Recognition - Drop=Dead Infant Annihilator - Soil the Stillborn Black Tongue - The Eternal Return to Ruin Several songs could have been chosen for many of these bands ^^ Not necessarily my favorites songs/bands, but kinda filthy breakdown in it
ปีที่แล้ว +3
Dude didn't even listen to the Liege Of Inveracity Breakdown... It's sooo good, the creation of slam
Sepultura- Dead embryonic cells? Skinless-overlord? I highly recommend checking out more Suffocation. Thrones of blood, liege of inveracity, bind torture kill, great tracks! Keep up the good work.
First I want to say thanks for introducing me to Tallah in one of your older vids, as they have become one of my favorite bands of all time. And I would nominate the end of "We, The Sad" as one of the most disgusting breakdowns in metal history. Please consider reacting to more Tallah if you haven't heard both albums, they literally don't have a bad song but since you worked with Justin a few times watch the one-take vocal performance of "Red Light"...the song is incredible but Justin's performance is jaw dropping!! Love your channel!
I wasn’t a fan of Bryan’s vocals as well when I first heard Knocked Loose. Although I instantly remember TDWP’s Mike Hranica has the same approach (Zombie EP MFs) However, everything changed when I listened to ‘A Tear In The Fabric Of Life.’ I was sold. 💀
@@slovak4life1991 obviously, this is all personal preference, but Abyssal Mouth just edges out To The Hellfire for me. Also, bonus, nearly all of Bread Crumbs and Whitestones by After the Burial is pretty neat.
The better Architects pick would be the end of Early Grave, one of the hardest of 2009 and everybody missed out on it because they weren’t bussin’ off yet
My favourite break downs (not necessarily heaviest of all time but i like em/ and some are heavier than most of the list): 1. Exodus (brand of sacrifice/ crazy heavy) 2. Lorna shore (of the abyss/ at some points he sounds like an aligator 3. Lorna shore (sun eater/ i love how it mixes with the chorus) 4. Motion less in white (cyberhex/ this one actually slaps and easy to like) 5. Imminence (heaven in hiding/ really calm song with a breakdown that caught me offguard) 6. Thy art is murder (reign of darkness/ soul left my body) 7. Lorna shore (to the hellfire/ i don't think i have to say smth) 8. Imminence (moth to a flame/ not much going on and easy to like but it fits very good) 9. Fit for an autopsy (hellions/ stank mode activated 10. We came as romans (darkbloom/ got that terrifying screech) And honorable mention ofc: never gonna give you up (rick astley)
I'll never forget the first time I heard Beneath the Massacre - Nevermore. Never has a breakdown changed how I looked at breakdowns. It's the slowest, quietest, hardest breakdown that always comes to mind for any top 5 or top 10 list.
Absolutely! You could make a top 10 ugliest breakdowns JUST from Tallah's 2 albums (Matriphagy & The Generation of Danger, get both if you love the elite of Nu Metal; Slipknot, Mudvayne, Korn, Chimaira, etc.)!!!
Beyond Deviation - identity Crisis Some Down tuned slow horror death jazz fusion experimental In 15 years of metal, this is probably my most disgusting breakdown
Recreant by Chelsea Grin, Porcelain Whore by Enterprise Earth, Blasphemian by Infant Annihilator, Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail, To The Hellfire by Lorna Shore, The Heretic Prevails by Shadow of Intent, Death Whistle by Signs of the Swarm, Slaughter by Angelmaker, Ritual Hymns by Worm Shepherd. Some of my all time favorite breakdowns
Dying fetus: in the trenches Whitechapel: vicer exciser Acacia strain: cauterizer Cattle decap: death atlas Meshuggah: future breed machine and dehumanization Cannibal corpse: hammer smashed face Pantera: this love Infant annihilator: decapitation fornication, soil the still born
Some good old school ones: No Donnie These Men Are Nihilists - Evergreen Terrace ‼️ Nerdy - Poison The Well Tower Of Snakes - Eighteen Visions My Fears Have Become Phobias - As Blood Runs Black Distance Is Darkness - As I Lay Dying ER - Drop Dead, Gorgeous Mall-Nutrition - Heavy Heavy Low Low Showing my age here 👀 😅 (Yes I obviously love the dissonant chords lmao) I also really really love Alerion by Asking Alexandria that's gotta be top ten. Mr Highways Thinking About The End? I'm tired and there's too many to think of a proper top ten Unholy Confessions is in there somewhere
as a long time lurker, i just needed to make this comment right here: the skyrim speech levelup was the turning point for me. i mean, really. damn. whoever edited this, you hero.
When I was in high school 20+ years ago Shattered Realm was one of the heaviest live bands I ever saw (at the time of course). The shitty sound quality on the album never did them justice
Nik you’re way too respectful, this list was straight dog cheeks. The breakdowns were good for the times they came out but since Rain in Blood and Domination we have a ton of newer bands that have made some of the nastiest break downs of all time IMO. Damn I might have to make my own top 10 lol
how do you not give a second thought to hammer smashed face the breakdown is soooo fucking good, if you dont like the death metal version thy art is murder made a really good cover of it
After realizing that I watch your videos more than some of the people I am actually subbed to... I finally hit that button. You're now competing with about 30 Engineering/Science channels, Gamer channels for games I don't play anymore (besides Hello Kitty Adventure Island Walkthroughs), Matt Rife, and The Charismatic Voice. May the best channel win.
The way you described getting into Knocked is exactly how I did. I wasn’t a fan at first cause the vocals, but they just grew on me, cause homie is angry and I’m here for it.
I’ve been a lurker for awhile but have to comment finally. Right off the bat yet again why I come back to your channels daily…. Your description of Bryan is the perfect simplified description I’ve felt but couldn’t explain to people “ very pissed sound”. Simple and perfect!
They could have chose so many other bands and songs sikth - bland street bloom ( has to be the best brakedowns of all time and underrated ) Whitechapel - Vicer Exciser Exhorder - cadence of the dirge Lamb of God -11th hour Decapitated - Spheres Of Madness Vader - revelations of black moses Sepultura - Territory Deftones - 7 words korn-faget Red Chord - Tread On The Necks Of Kings Slipknot wait and bleed Flaw - Payback Machine Head - Ten Ton Hammer despised icon - fractured hand crowbar - broken glass Biohazard - never forgive never forget
definetely the best breakdowns I've heard are not even from "heavy" stuff, I prefer proggys breakdowns, the only exception could be Gojira with songs like where dragons dwell (which is prog but also really heavy)
Just passed a guitar audition at my University based solely off the knowledge I gained from your guitar modes videos
Congrats! 🥳
Congrats on that! \m/
Congrats man!! 🙌🔥🔥🎉
YAAAAAAAY
I’ve also learned all my guitar music theory from nik as well. He makes it so clear and easy to understand

Of all the words to describe the stank-factor of a breakdown, I've never heard ugly being used as one.
It definitely had me a bit confused at first
In genres like drum & bass, dubstep, hardcore (the harddance genre) and hardstyle these terms are used in a positive way too and I’m here for it

It seems Nik didn’t wait until the slow slam riff in Liege of Inveracity. That’s what makes it a brutal breakdown.
That riff pretty much invented slam
@@cloneboy42they were the first to go full caveman
Yeah he's sleeping on Suffocation. They brought about the brutal death/slam thing to start with.

Domination is in my top five breakdowns of all time. RIP to Dimebag and Vinnie.🙏

Good throwback
Chris Storey breakdowns are beast
That album has several slammers
Promises and day of judgement are also massive

Best breakdown I'm not sure, but the most disgusting breakdown I've ever heard was in "I’m so Tired of Sighing. Please Lord, Let It Be Night" by Black Tongue
Black Tongue is more breakdown than comeup. And I love them for it
Substructure - Canis Minor
Vendetta Spoken - Years of Decay
Mureau - Castles in the Sky
Cheers lads
Me seeing Jinjer live, must state my stank face was activated many times. Y'all need to see Jinjer live if you haven't. Unbelievably amazing
Agreed. The breakdown for Vortex live legitimately made a friend of mine a fan of theirs. Best sounding live band I've heard thus far. 🤘🏻
People focus a lot on Tatiana and for a good reason, but the whole band is so talented. It's amazing.

Well now we need a NikNok top 10 breakdowns video. Redeem the industry.
Brian Garris' voice just has that "I fucking hate you energy" 😂 I'm here for it
Im seeing his band, MIW and Alpha Wolf and After the Burial in October. I'm expecting to have a stank face for most the show. 😂
"How did they get away with this?" I do believe that's Cannibal Corpse's motto.
The #1 reason I don’t go to heavy honestly
Northlane's Obsidian has a nasty breakdown, it's heavy as balls!
Toxin - Vildhjarta is top 5 for me
My top 10:
Spirit Box - Holy Roller (feat. Ryo Kinoshita)
Crystal Lake - Aeon
Molotov solution - The Final Hour
Immortal Disfigurement - Dragged into the Inferno
Suicide silence - No Pity for a Coward
Falling in Reverse - Drugs (feat. Corey Taylor)
Humanity's Last Breath - Abyssal Mouth
Shrine of Malice - Lord of the Flies (feat. Tom Barber)
Beyond All Recognition - Drop=Dead
Infant Annihilator - Soil the Stillborn
Black Tongue - The Eternal Return to Ruin
Several songs could have been chosen for many of these bands ^^ Not necessarily my favorites songs/bands, but kinda filthy breakdown in it
Dude didn't even listen to the Liege Of Inveracity Breakdown... It's sooo good, the creation of slam
Shadow of Intent - The Heretic Prevails. Shoutout to the DickyDines Show
One of my favourite breakdowns is in Immaculate Misconceptions by Motionless In White
I just love screaming "SO COME AND FUCKING GET US"
Labyrinthian from Humanity's last breath should have been here tbh
The breakdown from Gojira - Clone is so fucking good to. If you never heard it trust me, you need to.
the fact you used a Johnny Dangerously clip/meme is the best pick of the entire video. (besides “Domination”) 😄 good call, Nik. I love that movie.
My sister kicked me in the balls once....once.
Domination left most people with a black eye or bloody nose. Or both. That song is still brutal 😊
Nik u gotta make your own top 10 to set this straight
Sepultura- Dead embryonic cells? Skinless-overlord? I highly recommend checking out more Suffocation. Thrones of blood, liege of inveracity, bind torture kill, great tracks! Keep up the good work.
People sleep on Sepultura... they had some haaard breakdowns.
Propaganda is the breakdown, for Sepultura, IMO. Shit is so HARD, and when it drops out to just the bass, and comes back full bore? Hoooooly fuck

It's mostly the whole build-up to it. It's really raw too.
how about black tongue - the eternal return to ruin?
I wasn’t a fan of Bryan’s vocals as well when I first heard Knocked Loose. Although I instantly remember TDWP’s Mike Hranica has the same approach (Zombie EP MFs)

It would just be deathcore bands aka mostly darko.
Nice Skyrim Speech level up, that cracked me up when I heard the sound FX LOL
Meshugga - Lethargica is THE heaviest breakdown ever.

To the Hellfire. This is not a debate.

breakdowns make me wanna do bad things 😅
The better Architects pick would be the end of Early Grave, one of the hardest of 2009 and everybody missed out on it because they weren’t bussin’ off yet
Feel like suffocation's pick has more to do with its impact and influence rather than how it might stand up today.
Knocked Loose's vocals take a minute to get used to but once you do- it's awesome.
Kinda like Of Mice & Men (before Austin left the band)
Rein Raus by Rammstein has the sickest breakdown. If I was a wrestler that'd be my walk-out song.
The call out that starts at the end of Perception into The Deprivation Of Existance by Aegaeon is def one of my top breakdowns
I'm glad I'm not the only one into Aegaeon on this channel!
liege of inveracity literally spawned an entire genre from that breakdown..... SLAM
My favourite break downs (not necessarily heaviest of all time but i like em/ and some are heavier than most of the list):
1. Exodus (brand of sacrifice/ crazy heavy)
2. Lorna shore (of the abyss/ at some points he sounds like an aligator
3. Lorna shore (sun eater/ i love how it mixes with the chorus)
4. Motion less in white (cyberhex/ this one actually slaps and easy to like)
5. Imminence (heaven in hiding/ really calm song with a breakdown that caught me offguard)
6. Thy art is murder (reign of darkness/ soul left my body)
7. Lorna shore (to the hellfire/ i don't think i have to say smth)
8. Imminence (moth to a flame/ not much going on and easy to like but it fits very good)
9. Fit for an autopsy (hellions/ stank mode activated
10. We came as romans (darkbloom/ got that terrifying screech)
And honorable mention ofc: never gonna give you up (rick astley)
“Davidian” by Machine Head should’ve made the list
Infant Annihilator and Black Tongue have some pretty filthy breakdowns.
Domination is the granddaddy. Damn.
33 years
I'll never forget the first time I heard Beneath the Massacre - Nevermore. Never has a breakdown changed how I looked at breakdowns. It's the slowest, quietest, hardest breakdown that always comes to mind for any top 5 or top 10 list.

Beyond Deviation - identity Crisis
Some Down tuned slow horror death jazz fusion experimental
In 15 years of metal, this is probably my most disgusting breakdown
the best breakdown in metal was when lars ulrich broke down over napster giving out their music for free
Deviloof - Torture, Vildhjarta - Kaos2 and Nickelback - Far Away have the best breakdowns
We do in fact do fun metal things here
Need Nik to do a list. Older Parkway Drive not being on here is wild. Maybe doing a pre-2020 and post-2020?
Where is the river by Wage War?
*cough cough cough BLEEEEGH*
Recreant by Chelsea Grin, Porcelain Whore by Enterprise Earth, Blasphemian by Infant Annihilator, Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail, To The Hellfire by Lorna Shore, The Heretic Prevails by Shadow of Intent, Death Whistle by Signs of the Swarm, Slaughter by Angelmaker, Ritual Hymns by Worm Shepherd. Some of my all time favorite breakdowns
cannibal corpse riff was more of a slam riff than a breakdown honestly
Not even giving an honourable mention to No Pity For A Coward is ridiculous
Surprised no Humanity’s Last Breath. They genuinely have some of the best and most mind numbing breakdowns around.
Dying fetus: in the trenches
Whitechapel: vicer exciser
Acacia strain: cauterizer
Cattle decap: death atlas
Meshuggah: future breed machine and dehumanization
Cannibal corpse: hammer smashed face
Pantera: this love
Infant annihilator: decapitation fornication, soil the still born
There's probably at least one track on every DF album that could be reasonably added to the list.

You're now competing with about 30 Engineering/Science channels, Gamer channels for games I don't play anymore (besides Hello Kitty Adventure Island Walkthroughs), Matt Rife, and The Charismatic Voice. May the best channel win.
These songs make me feel like the devil "UHHHHHHHHHH"
The Banner is incredibly tight. Give them a listen in your spare time.
Any knocked loose breakdown beats all of those lol
Ok zoomer
The way you described getting into Knocked is exactly how I did. I wasn’t a fan at first cause the vocals, but they just grew on me, cause homie is angry and I’m here for it.
Hollow has a disgusting breakdown also
I’ve been a lurker for awhile but have to comment finally. Right off the bat yet again why I come back to your channels daily…. Your description of Bryan is the perfect simplified description I’ve felt but couldn’t explain to people “ very pissed sound”. Simple and perfect!
4:15 that joke was a Meshtake…
They could have chose so many other bands and songs
sikth - bland street bloom ( has to be the best brakedowns of all time and underrated )
Whitechapel - Vicer Exciser
Exhorder - cadence of the dirge
Lamb of God -11th hour
Decapitated - Spheres Of Madness
Vader - revelations of black moses
Sepultura - Territory
Deftones - 7 words
korn-faget
Red Chord - Tread On The Necks Of Kings
Slipknot wait and bleed
Flaw - Payback
Machine Head - Ten Ton Hammer
despised icon - fractured hand
crowbar - broken glass
Biohazard - never forgive never forget
All of those are perfect
My favorite Breakdown is either Enterprise Earth Reanimate/Disintegrate or Nocturnal Bloodlust Cremation
The breakdown in hereafter is so much better than the breakdown in these colors don't run. (Architects)
2:58 getting some barrista energy there.
Suffocation - Clarity through deprivation
definetely the best breakdowns I've heard are not even from "heavy" stuff, I prefer proggys breakdowns, the only exception could be Gojira with songs like where dragons dwell (which is prog but also really heavy)
My fav breakdown is probably Of the abyss by Lorna, that breakdown goes hard
Pressure Point by The Ghost Inside has one of my favourite Metalcore breakdowns
I’m glad there weren’t any Lorna-core bands that have 160BPM open notes as a “breakdown”
160bpm is childs play for tech death
