Bro this album is amazing! Glad you're vibing to it
I love it man! Need to check out more of their work for sure🔥🔥🔥
the homieeeee
@@DrewFortune97 The rest if they’re shit is crazy 💯 so diverse something for everyone who likes metal
@@DrewFortune97 Newly subbed and we have the exact same taste in music. Great to see you checking out the entire genre. Their album Mesmer is a masterpiece as well, such a blend of heavy and beautiful. Cheers from the US
500 likes on this video for an ‘Alien’ album reaction? 🔥
GET THIS MAN HIS LIKES
@@seanroberts5915 the people will pull through 👌🏼🤞🏼🙌🏻
Mesmer and Alien are great albums, highly recommended.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DO IT REGARDLESS.
Alien is 2019 AotY. (Even over Periphery IV, and I'm a Periphery fanatic)
Loved this reaction. :)
honestly you should check "singularity" to see difference between 2 styles of northlane , they changed vocalist because last one was screaming his voice out. literally ! but damn was he good, he delivered emotions into screaming like no one else, sadly he didnt knew technique.
As someone who generally doesn't like a lot of Metalcore, I'm a very big fan of Northlane. They're a fairly experimental bunch and I love how densely they incorporate electronic elements into their sound and how it doesn't sound gimmicky at all, even when they lean more towards electronic genres as opposed to Metal. It's a very refreshing take on the Metalcore formula and the execution is immaculate overall. I've seen a lot of Metalcore folks criticize the band for the stylistic shift in sound but they've become drastically more interesting now and they're also better able to experiment around Marcus as opposed to their older vocalist imo.
Just finished the video man. Surprised you weren't immediately impressed by Plenty as I was tho, it's one of the most riff-driven songs on the album. I'm glad you also took notice of the sheer variety this album has to offer which is something that I also loved about Alien. Obsidian is much more electronic-oriented compared to Alien and as such it feels more pulled back but it definitely isn't without its merits. Your next Northlane album has to be Alien! It has a more consistent lyrical theme throughout and a lot of what's in play here in Obsidian was established with Alien.
Love to see somebody appreciating the beauty of Cypher, it's such an huge track
Their best song imo
100% one of their best songs
You have to listen to „Alien“, their previous record. That is a masterpiece
YES YES YES! If you liked this, you'll LOVE alien.. all of it
Northlane has always had prominent electronic influences ever since bringing Marcus (the current vocalist) on board, but even more so on Obsidian. They use synths and electronic elements in such unique ways for the type of band they are. Totally pushing boundaries in the best way possible.
I’m sold man, so good
This electronic touch is amazing
The irony being that Jon is the one that's writing all the music.
He perfected their atmospheric sounds on Node, experimented with more electronic gear on Mesmer, and then went full godmode on Alien and this record. The guys a genius.
honestly? its slowly, but surely absolutely becoming one of my favorite albums of the year. It's just so out there and it's just so.....large? if that makes any sense? I honestly have loved all of Northlanes stuff, and this is another absolute banger, Love the Content dude! Keep rockin out! also, i love the deadmau5 reference lol hes one of my all time favorite artists!
Agree man, absolutely hugeeee!🔥 also, thank you💜
A lot of people don’t like Plenty as much across the community, and sometimes I find it hard to wonder why. It’s such a melodic, ethereal and djenty track. Underrated for sure. It kind of leads you into the second half of the record, they’re excellent song writers and can’t wait to see what they do next with this EDM sound.
For me the chorus feels too much like another song on alien. I love the intro and the riff at first, it's just not grabbing me enough
Plenty is one of my favs, weird that people don't like it. its a good song.
Heavy sing-along potential
I love plenty
The drums on Plenty are so tasty
I’ve listened to them since their debut. This is the first album of theirs I’ve purchased. IMO it’s their greatest.
Might have to buy it myself ;)
This is their best work album 💯👏👍
U absolutely have to listen to The Drak Pool, Thornhills previous album. One of the greatest metalcore albums I’ve ever heard. If you loved this I think you’ll like the dark pool a lot more
Agree with this, that's such a good recommendation for Drew to listen to. I second this completely!
I second this
I just hope they release the deluxe with the juicy instrumentals, that's what I love Northlane for.
They always do a year after the original album release, I don't see why they would change that tradition.
this is basically an album version of their song “eclipse” from alien, a djenty/proggy metalcore dance song
Lmaooo
I love this album and I think Eclipse is the worst Northlane song since Marcus joined
This band has a live performance that was Professionally filmed and recorded, pls do a reaction to that 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍the set list is perfect, they play a lot of there songs that have synth and strings between songs, very concept album vibes, very melodic, very core and progressive, with obvious tones of THALL/modern djent, absolutely love it, fresh new, beyond the cutting edge, the wind of the blade.....
This, their full live set is incredible. Shows off Alien and just how perfect they perform.
I'm 30 and going to raves in basements almost every weekend this album changed my life, literally I can't have enough of it. Come to think about it I've already watched your reaction like 3 full times cause the guys tweeted it. I'm blasting it while at work in the gym gaming I absolutely love the perfect blend of metal and melodical house minimal techno. Like everybody I too share a special love with Alien but this album is just next level
The album before this one called Alien is one of the best i have ever listened to. The track 4D is soooo good.
My older bro even enjoyed that song and he's not into metal core / djent stuff
That Cypher breakdown is one of my favorites. The reaction was appropriate. Lmao.
So fucking good bro
It’s so awesome to see Northlane doing so well. Usually after a main vocalist leaves a band (this case being Adrian), a band goes downhill. I remember people were unsure about Marcus at first and admittedly I was unsure too. But after I heard their first few songs with Marcus I was blown away. Marcus and Brendon have been blessings for Northlane and that’s why they’re still going strong. I hope Adrian is still somewhat in contact with them, and I hope he’s proud of how they’re doing, because he should be!
Extra note:
The performance that made Northlane my favourite heavy band was their Bloodline performance live at the roundhouse. You need to check it out.
Brenden left btw, but I think his influence has stayed with the band for sure.
@@eczy damn as if!
The fellas have said they don't really speak to him a whole lot. The guy left them pretty high and dry, as did Alex. He's a practising psychologist now, but uh yeah a bit loopy.
Love seeing peoples first reaction to Plenty cause I was exactly the same and then 5 listens later it’s one of my favourite songs on the album
Still not 100% clicked with me, but I know I’ll come round!
“If this is what future metal sounds like, IM IN”.
You got the idea and Northlane did their job! With this album they have brought something so new and fresh to the scene and I’m excited about the metal genre when albums like this come out
Glad that you also really enjoyed this album and that it's getting such acclaim and creating new fans! They're all self funded and self managed, Josh the lead guitarist took on that responsibility after they have had members leave the band / management issues and label pressures. So it's amazing that they made such a great record with all of that going on in the background.
Strongly recommend considering buying the album so that the band gets the support it needs for the future, and also as if enough people do that it will send Northlane a strong message that they need to come to Ireland on tour! And once you've taken the time to enjoy and savour this one, I strongly recommend the previous albums Alien and Mesmer. Peace 👍
I’ll for sure buy the album at some point man!🔥
These guys are playing walking distance from where I live. Might have to dig in. 🤘
You will not be disappointed. They are untouchable live. Great stage presence. and their diverse range of sounds from new to old make for just a varied show that will blow your socks off
They play so well live, it justifies how a band sounds, they absolutely crush this shit live with the clarity and sound quality of gods, it has elements of a lot, a reflection of the last 30 years of rock alt rock nu metal, everything, 🔥👍👍👍.
I love to see you liking them, my fav is Clockwork and Inamorata
solid album. Alien amazing too!
Hey Drew! Just a note. For optimal sound quality, you'll always want to have spotify volume slider maxed (source) and then adjust the focusrite to the desired volume.
Ah, thanks man. I currently have focusrite maxed and Spotify lower as it was blowing my ears out😂 why does it matter which is maxed out?
@@DrewFortune97 It's not a huge deal, but the idea is that you always want the source of your sound to be boosted to max because that is the most pure unimpeded signal. If you say had the spotify slider at say 10% and cranked your mixer, you'd be boosting a bad signal. In sound designer / production terms, doing something like that would result in a worse signal to noise ratio.
@@InteractionImplants you legend, I’ll work that out for next video!
@@DrewFortune97 Believe me, it's my pleasure to help! You've provided me with far more enjoyable content than I could ever repay.
@@InteractionImplants Love brother, you’re too kind 💜💜
I listened to the album like 4 times
And thru this whole video once again
so good man I've got it on repeat also. Thanks for watching my video!
This is one of my favorite albums released by Northlane. I’m so glad they released it April. Now, I have something to jam to during the summer months.
I’m looking forward to when they release the instrumentals.
Came in with Northlane when they released “Alien,” (amazing album, hope you hit those likes for the reaction). This is my first time listening to “Obsidian,” was pleasantly surprised to see this. This is an amazing album; always loved how they mixed Djent, Metalcore, EDM/Synthpop and Nu-Metal elements together.
I only clicked to see your reaction to cypher and you clearly liked it enough to start the video with it 😂
I really glad you found Northlane. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity kind of thing. They are definitely pioneering a new sound, inventing new genres on the go and mkxing old ones. I know this is an old reaction, but I keep coming back because this is an amazing experience. ^^
This album was a perfect follow-up to Alien. Probably underrated by some folks, but another masterpiece by Northlane in my book
Xen takes me straight back to playing Dave Mirra BMX and Tony Hawk in the early 2000s
Drew if you’re looking for some prog metal goodness, you have to check out The Ocean. Songs like Devonian: Nascent, The Great Dying, Triassic and Jurassic|Cretaceous are epic. Check ‘‘em out, you won’t regret it
I second/third this!!
Also +1 The Ocean! Amazing group!
These guys are super underrated and I’ve been pushing them on a few other reactors, but I think Drew would like them the most. They’re kinda reminiscent to Gojira and Tool to me while still having their own feel
@@AnthonyK93 I found them when the album Pelagial was released. They are not of the "Djenty" type, definitely firmly in prog/metal territory, as you said a lot of tool influence, but with more modern metal/metalcore and even death metal influences.
Looking forward to whatever album you will be reacting to next! Especially if said band is from Sweden 👀
Check out alien, their previous album that leans more towards the metalcore sound with this similar edm/synth elements. Its a lot darker and much more dramatic, personally prefer that one but would love to hear your thoughts!
Will do it for sure man!
This album is still growing on me! When this record was released, I was obsessed with Carbonised in a big way; I have recently returned to the album and I am loving the self-title track, Obsidian. The rest of the record is growing on me. Some of the best music surprises you, puts you off then later you see the light. Well done with this record, Northlane.
Interesting, between listens I had a phase with minimal electronica, liking the more positive vibes. So I like the electro vibes in this record returning back to it.
How we shift and change with music ❤
Love Northlane 🤟🏻 each album is so unique and has a distinct sound. From Heavy, to Djent to ambient rock. Industrial, dance EDM, Prog ect... they can even chill it out with tracks like Nova and Sleepless. Such talent
It was magic watching somebody discovering Northlane, especially this late into the game. They just keep growing in scope with every album
Their blend of metal and electronic is really tastefully done. I don't normally get into metal-core style music, but Northlane is the exception. Their production and melodic choices are fantastic. Even though some of it can sound a bit poppy, it's just so undeniably good that it's hard not to be a fan.
That Abomination techno breakdown… absolute mad lads.
Edit: and Cypher 😮💨😮💨
Zero-One on the Mesmer Album was probably the origin of this style they’ve adopted. Of course they produced their own albums after Mesmer; but still a good look in to where the motivation sparked
if no one has mentioned it, you have to listen to Mesmer! It was my AOTY for 2017. Such an amazing album, but I do highly recommend you listen to their discography.
I'm a new Northlane fan after stumbling upon this album on Tidal and then Alien as well. These have provided many hours of listening awesomeness. Two of the best albums I have heard from any band in many years. These guys are incredible!
I definitely second the recommendation for the album “The Dark Pool” by Thornhill. It’s got those soaring, atmospheric melodies with djenty rhythms underneath that you like. If you really want to go even further on the techno meets metal spectrum of things, check out the new release by The Algorithm titled “Data Renaissance”. Cheers!
Editing Thornhill album reaction now!
Amazing reaction, actually the last song on the album sounds so close to Periphery - Have a blast chorus! Thats crazy cause this is probably one of the most beutiful melody for me
Thank you bro! I’ve gotta do more Periphery🔥
42:25 this reaction right here is exactly my reaction to this part of the song!! PULL ME BACK INN
You’ve got to start at the beginning with Marcus. Node was their first one with him on vocals and it truly made the band born again. Alien is another great one (the last one before this one) and it was the start of them really leaning into the electronics, so that might be more up your alley but Node is untouchable for me personally. The analog mix is… hoo. So live. So real.
Another Node truther. I remember everyone was so pissed at them for the production on that album but I LOOOOOVED the way it sounded lol. It was a breath of fresh air at the time in a scene full of overproduced albums.
You need to react to Born of Osiris. All their albums have heavy electronic influence bits in them.
First of all. Your reaction to this album was the best yet! Loved it.
I recommend you listen to every one of their six albums. From first to last and listen to the change in each one of them. And react to all of them.
They are fucking brilliant. I'm glad you loved them as much as I do dude 🤙🤙
❤️
there's almost a look of pain in your eyes.....like "why didn't i discover them earlier?" i felt that way in the beginning too
Love this album! It has a certain sense of nostalgia and the mix of EDM is phenomenal
Agree bro
If you have a good hifi set up with speakers in your car or even at home that last half of Xen has such an extremely wide and deep soundscape that it feels like your drifting in space, its surreal.
Also if someone hasn't told you yet, the song Cypher is a direct reference to the character Cypher from The Matrix.
Brother, instant follow after seeing how you reacted to Abomination!! Such a massive tune and the album is huge! Glad you discovered the joys of Northlane!
This is my album of the year so far. It’s so refreshing
Peepin the tesseract in the background, but in all realness Northlane ain’t no joke. They bring the heat with their music and especially bring it durin their live performances
Someone referred to this style as “Cyber Core” I think that fits pretty well
Accurate
I love how you connected the intro song to Opus. I love that song to death.
Northlane and Erra are quickly becoming some of my favourite bands. Can't wait to see Northlane with Sleep Token in January!
trying to figure out whats going on? Then we see in your eyes that you are being amazed and astounded!!
If I'm feeling down and need a pick me up while listening to some BANGERS, I've got this bookmarked. There's something really special about seeing someone hearing something for the first time that you think is amazing, and seeing their mind get blown by it
has no one said anything about listening to singularity or discoveries? That's where I first heard the band and made me love them a ton then.
My favourite song in obsidian album is carbonized cypher obsidian and dark solitaire 👏👍🔥🎸
Great tracks bro!!
Fucking incredible album!!!
I would say that alien is better....but still this album is amazing
agreed
Different pieces of work, both incredible. Alien is just loaded with emotion and the writing is undoubtedly the most honest. Struggled like hell through that year of the release and came out of it with a Northlane tattoo a year later. I think Alien is everyones new favourite album for that.. just opened you up. Obsidian though.. it's huge.. went off live too.
I’m hooked on this album now. Carbonize is so good 🤙
Watching this so bombed Rn and you’ve. Got a new subscriber
I HIGHLY recommend their album "Alien", it's THE album from northlane (in the marcus bridge era) and as banging as Obsidian, if not even more!🔥
Btw alien was the last album before obsidian
never listened to northlane before, so i decided to watch this full video to hear the album with you for the first time, thanks...
Marcus is an elite tier vocalist man.. is so beautiful to listen to.
I discovered Northlane as a suggested band through the band Volumes, (older Volumes) I dug their sound listened to them but never deep dove until this Album. My favorite at the moment. I love the electronic music genre myself and have always been into it so this combo for me with Northlane is a delight. Thank you for sharing this reaction.
My pleasure bro💜
Great Reaction, for a massive Masterpiece!!. If you like this kind of mix, you should check out Enter Shikari.
Phenomenal album
Anyone that has tesseract on their walls gets an immediate sub!
I see stars is the first band I remember that really meshed all of their metal with dubstep and edm.
From what I can see it appears you have yet to do a full reaction on the album Mesmer! I see a lot of fellow fans recommending alien which is fantastic but for me Mesmer readily stood out more personally as an incredible album, give it a go man! You wouldn’t be disappointed
Thanks for the recommendation on Sven
If you want another band heavily involved in the electronic metal scene try enter shikari you'd love them, the albums common dreads and the mindsweep would be right up your alley
I wouldn't know what genre to even call them because they have hardcore punk, dubstep, trance, rap, full on pop moments and drum and bass parts. They started the genre that electric callboy does if that's anything to go by. They are extremely experimental with tonnes of wtf moments
Insane awesomeness of a FXxXiNg Album!!! ❤️🔥🤘🏽
Reaction to Windwaker - Love Language please ??? 😁
They always released great albums but THIS is just amazing.
i highly suggest you check out the latest erra deluxe album its rllllly good, i cant stop listening to it, the chord progressions and melodies and harmonies are just so good
This album is a solid 10/10 for me. 😊
Such an amazing album
yall better get it to 500 likes
amazing album bro
"If you thought I wasn't gonna bring that back, you're wrong" accompanied by the face warp LOL
Another incredible album (I really love Alien). Another influence, that for me is obvious, are the two first Linkin park's albums. That mix between metal, pop and electronic elements is very present in Northlane.
We need an Alien reaction ! Most fans would class that one as their magnum opus so far - showing their metal chops in full force while planting the seeds for the synths and EDM elements that come through in Obsidian - which works both as a wonderful isolated record but an even better sequel. Alien is a near perfect metalcore record, by far northlane’s most diverse and emotional sound - go listen to it !
Check latest video
@@DrewFortune97 u fucken legend
Dude, it goes without saying that you should take a deep look to other albums of Northlane. In the video you sayed that you like the bands, who are trying to find their own sound, doing some different stuff and who are trying to go forward with their experiments with sound, and I definetly share your ooinion.
Their whole discography is as different as it possible.
It would be very interesting to hear the opinion on their other albums from the person, who listens to them from the newest releases to their older records and very beginnings :)
inamorata is a love song. lyrics are great
Cet album est juste monstrueux!!
Get that 500 likes boys for that Alien reaction!!
Check them out playing live in Melbourne last June 🔥🔥🔥 You can also watch the full show on Moshcam 🤘🤘
th-cam.com/video/35esmArf3JE/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/O4auL9QDLHc/w-d-xo.html
Abomination is such a masterpiece. Amazing album
Northlane concerts are gonna become clubs when THAT section of Abomination hits
Favourite band
So right about "Is This A Test" being a Fifa song haha :)))
Yes Northlane are magic🤘🙌
They've outdone themselves. Is it better than Alien? No. It's different. Is that better? Of course. That's it)
Node album is my favorite with this being the second best. If you want the 'spacey' experimental sound from these boys, you gotta give Node a try. A lot of fans gave it crap because it wasn't even a metalcore album persay but more like an alt metal/rock like Deftones. They even have a song called Ohm, which I actually prefer to the Deftones tune LOL
