-“ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MENTAL”
The best description of Protest the Hero 😎
Rody is one of the best vocalist in this genre. His solo stuff is great, too.
He did an Oingo Boingo cover on YT during the pandemic that Geebz would probably dig
big fan of pth but never knew he did solo stuff, what's it called??
@@DaDoubleDee just search his name, Rody Walker.
Dude doesn’t get enough recognition. He’s so talented and no one else in the genre really sounds like him
Ah yes, his solo stuff
Whoopsie Pooperella doesn't get the recognition it deserves
Love Protest the Hero. Let me put in another vote for their song Skies, which is the best song off the same album, IMO. I think it would also be a lot more easily digestible for a first time listen.
Add another vote for Skies, absolutely one of my favorite songs from volition. That breakdown and followup midway through sends chills down my spine every single time I listen to it.
Yes, amazing song
Yeah +1 for Skies; that song is special. Gotta do it someday @Key of Geebz!
Second this, one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums
Skies is perfect for a composer to enjoy.
I believe all the male vocals on this song were done by Rody, but the female vocals were Kayla Howran, a country singer. Odds are if you hear female vocals in a different PtH song it's going to be Jadea Kelly, another country singer and frequent contributor.
Oh wow that’s interesting. I remember looking through the Indiegogo campaign the band did to fund this album and you could pledge like a grand or two to appear on the album as a guest vocalist/musician. I always thought these guest vocalists featured on Volition were some of these people.
I didn't know that this wasn't Jadea Kelly I figured she was doing some different vocal stuff
@@TheLegendofGumby You should check out the "Of Our Own Volition" documentary to see how it all went down. I believe that most of those singers just wound up doing gang vocals, but one lucky guy is featured near the end of Skies.
@@dampersand life embossed has a guest screamer “caving and twisting” and the clean vocals at “breed specific legislature” is a guest vocalist
And to think, this incredible band is technically speaking, and of their own admission, considered to be a "Commercial Failure". This is why they funded their own albums after a certain point, complications with the labels, profits, all that.
If I'm not mistaken, and I think I'm remembering correctly here, at the time they put our the indigogo and tested the waters of seeing if fans could possibly fund an album - They actually received enough money to fund TWO albums.
Protest has always had an intense following. The people that love this band love it with fierce passion. I've seen them live 7 times, I'm in one of their music videos that was filmed here and the song also written about here, met them many, times, I've got signed staged used drum sticks from some of those shows, all of my CD inserts and set lists signed. They've always been humble and grateful for their fans.
The song Mist is about one of the first shows they played here, the line "Stood on the shoulders of proud Newfoundlanders" is quite literal. We rushed the stage when they came on and that shit was not prepared for us. Parts of it collapsed. We held it up for them.
I'll always be grateful for them and their music.
That duelling guitar solo around 4:15 is one of my all time favorite guitar moments I've heard in a song.
If I remember correctly, this album used the raw vocal files for him, no filtering, and that makes it probably my favorite album of theirs start to finish.
Fortress is a close second, but the quality of this one is just astounding to me.
Another thing about this album is this was after they got away from a music label and crowdfunded it on Indiegogo. Their goal was $125k and they ended up raising $341,146. Rewards included up to joining in on an album release pizza house party with the band and even features on the album, whether they be vocal or instrumental. Four people supported them to the level of getting features.
C'est la Vie by this same band when? pls
One of my favorite bands of all time. Everyone in the band is amazing. Roddy is one of the best vocalists of all time, hands down. They frickin rock.
Love it! Protest is a great band that definitely deserves more recognition. Their original drummer, Moe Carlson is entirely self taught. Great musicians all around
For those who don't know, Chris Adler of Lamb of God played drums on this album. This song in particular is most like his normal style (probably something to do with the title/lyrics) but he does get a bit looser than usual on the rest of the album
@@aarononon When the album was being recorded, I was very skeptical about how Chris would fit in with their style. I was so surprised how well it turned out when it was released
@@Cmoore718 I was so happy with Adler's delivery throughout the whole album. I think he is supremely talented with less ego
Fantastic Canadian band from the province Ontario.
They love playing in the province of Newfoundland, so they actually wrote a song about it. It's called "Mist", from the same album as this song.
I happen to be from Newfoundland, so it would be cool for you to react to that song!
My favourite band of all time. They cram so much into each song that you can listen to it a hundred times and still hear something new... But I guess that also makes them a bad choice for a first-time-listen reaction haha. Anyway, more Protest the Hero please! You haven't done anything from the album Scurrilous yet, so that's probably the logical next step - C'est La Vie would probably be the most popular choice there, but any of the first four tracks would make me very happy :)
Also my favourite album of all time, it still blows my mind start to finish after all these years.
Also my favorite band. I feel like they're always underrated, but also like way more people call them an all time fave than a lot of other bands.
Like people either don't know who they are or they would kill and die for them.
Dunsel is such a killer track, probably my favourite off of Scurrilous.
It is likely I've spent more time listening to Protest The Hero than any other band in my 33 years. I remember hearing Kezia by them for the first time in highschool and being speechless. On the note of powerful vocals, I recently had my mind blown by the wild vocal talent of Josh Kiszka in Greta Van Fleet. Their most recent album "The Battle at Gardens Gate" I believe to be their most powerful album yet.
Appreciate the content as always!
Exactly the same boat here, I'm 31, heard them in 2005 and they're quite easily the 1 band I've listened to more than any other in my entire life. Pure, absolute joy in music form.
Volition is so good!
PTH is so complex that it takes many listens to really find the nuance. But the riffs are still accessible and riffy enough to enjoy it from the very beginning!!
eh id argue their complete lack of catchiness is why they are still such a relatively unknown niche band.
@@derpderpin1568 I'd say of all the prog metal bands I listen to, they are by far one of the most accessible and catchy.
This entire album is an absolute masterpiece! Too goood
Pray for a waaaaaaaayyyyyyy!! Love this tune
Also, this is one of the bands that sent me from dabbling in prog/tech metal to listening almost exclusively to prog/tech lol. And yes they use a female vocalist and other band members do backups too. Check out a band called first fragment. “Neo-classical tech death” seems like it may be up your alley. The “le veuve & le martyr” play through is unreal. Probably as good a place as any to start!! Keep up the great work!
Easily one of my favorite bands and super glad you're covering more of their stuff!
Holy crap! Amazing! One of my favorite songs by them and I've been waiting forever for a breakdown/reaction, but this track always gets blocked. So glad to see it get its due finally!
Geebz your my favorite reactor. And love seeing you react to my favourite band protest the hero. I would absolutely love if you would react to "mist" from the album "volition." I am from Newfoundland Canada where the song is about and the video is better then any government travel video that any government has made.
There is not a listen of that song that I skip over. It just brings pride and joy to 11 out of 10 every time.
Alot of people were also commenting on the song "skies" also one of my favourites.
Please please please more protest the hero reactions!
Thanks again geebz. The decomposer lounge is one of my favourite channels out there.
I fucking love vicariously rehearing these songs for the first time through your channel dude.
I know everyone has already mentioned Kayla Howran as the featured vocalist, but they also feature Ron Jarzombek (Blotted Science) in the dueling solo.
The entire album was funded by an Indiegogo campaign, and there are over 10 featured artists on this album, mostly vocalists, as campaign rewards.
PROTEST RULES ❤️
please do Harbinger or Caravan or Cold Water off of the tremendous and quite honestly most underrated thing they have ever done - Pacific Myth
The ending to Caravan.......
OH. MY. GOD.
Rody is king, and I love you for appreciating him.
Pretty sure this album features Lamb of Gods drummer! Really good album!
Yyyyyessssss my favorite band of all time!!!! Enjoy!
Your reactions to this band = my subscribe. Absolutely my favorite band of all time and your reaction/breakdown of these tracks are extremely entertaining ^.^
Protest The Hero are great! If you’re open to listening to their older songs, I suggest “heretics & killers”
I always felt that if queen wrote metal it would have sounded like Heretics and killers
As much as I love H&K, Blindfolds aside would be my preference for Geebz to look at.
@@drewff5 very true or stars over Bethlehem
Fun fact: Chris Adler former drummer for Lamb of God played drums on this track and this whole album
Loved This! Thanks Geebz! THE TONES ON THIS ONE!! An interesting take would be to go back to the 1st album. Perhaps with the track, "Devine Suicide of K." for next dive? This reeeeeeaaaalllyy shows off the origins of their compositional style. Breathtaking stuff, satisfyingly proggy. 🤘🤯
Divine Suicide of K is my favourite track from Kezia, such a mindblowing song.
thank u for doing literally the best pth song 🙏🙏🙏🙏
BEST BAND OF ALL TIME
Finally more PTH!!! So stoked!!
I was just listening to Kezia today...Album that probably blew my mind more than any as a kid
Please allow me a moment to freak out, like I did on your other PTH reactions:
FUCK. YES. PROTEST THE FUCKIN' HERO.
As I said before, favourite band ever, criminally underrated, wish more people knew/listened/reacted to them, they haven't put out a single back song in the near 20 years I've been listening to them.
THANK YOU DUDE.
Finally some more PTH, thank you for doing that! : )
The end of this song is one of my favorite things in the known universe.
There's many reasons you're one of my fav reactors. And one of those reasons is because you react to mfing Protest the Hero 🖤
Edit: I recommend reacting to something from Kezia, Fortress or Scurrilous. Literally some of my favourite albums of all time. I find those albums less prog and easier to digest.
I’ve listened through Scurrilous soooo many times. Love it
Yessss, protest the hero one of my favs!!n
This video got me pulling up my Volition tab book to finally learn this song like I wanted to for years
This album is one of Chris Adler's best drum performances ever.
Seeing PtH in Toronto next month! So excited to see another reaction video for them
If no one has noted yet, the Drummer on this album is actually the drummer from Lamb of God I do believe. Love your reaction to Protest the Hero! Would absolutely second the recommendation of their song "Skies". Keep up the awesome vids!
The drummer for this album is Chris Adler from Lamb Of God
I'm so glad you came back around to Protest. They have SO many fantastic songs. Please do something off of their first album, Kezia. It was a lot more punk but so ambitious for a bunch of teenagers. Turn Soonest to the Sea is my personal favourite, but Bury the Hatchet or Blindfolds Aside are also very worth a listen. All the male vocals were from Rody, their lead singer, but there was a short section with a female vocalist
Other songs of theirs worth looking into:
From Volition - Plato's Tripartite, Skies, A Life Embossed, and Yellow Teeth are all amazing.
From Palimpsest - Little Snakes and the Fireside
Duuuuude, i love this band!
Been waiting for more Protest!!!
MORE PROTEST THE HERO PLEASE.
they use alot of female vocals added. these canadian boys always kill it.
The female singer in most of their tracks where she's featured is Jadea Kelley. She's been a long time collaborator with the band and has done guest vocals on almost every album.
Edit: I was mistaken on this song though. The woman on this song is Kayla Howran. That said, Jadea does most of the female vocals for the band and sang on Clarity, Without Prejudice, Yellow Teeth and Plato's Tripartite from volition.
Oh man I'm so excited, this is probably my absolute most favorite song from them, I love it so much, the ending gets me hyped every time and me and my significant other just belt it in the car when it's on.
Nice reaction as usual ❤😊
the dueling guitar solos followed by the contrasting singing parts are some of my favourite musical components I've ever heard.
My favorite song by them, Volition is by and far their best album. Skies is probably more your style, but any song by them is amazing so take your choice haha
Thank you Geebz
Lmao. I just suggested (on a 2 year old video of yours) that you do a video reaction for this 😂 I didn't realise you'd already done it 😄
Fun fact: Chris Adler (ex-Lamb of God) recorded the drum for this album.
Awesome reaction
Love me to some Protest The Hero!
My favorite band! I love seeing your reactions to them. They evolve with every album and, personally, my tastes evolve perfectly with them. Just amazing musicianship and technicality all across everyone in the band.
Worth listening to little snakes, caravan, dissentience and Plato's tripartite
My favorite song by one of my favorite bands, so happy you finally got around to this!
Yesss ive been waiting for more PTH
This is a great song from one of my favorite all time bands! Thank you so much for the video Geebz!!! :D
Haven't listened to PTH in years, fell down a little rabbit hole today and that's how I found your channel. So cool you uploaded today! Great stuff, subscribed right away! Looking forward to seeing your takes on other songs :)
Woohoo! Another PtH reaction! 💚💚 thank you Geebz!! I agree that their music can be overwhelming at first but it is so worth it to “peel back the layers” a bit more with each listen
Yeah they’re something else.
I'm so glad you enjoy these guys as much as all of us PTH fans enjoy them. Yes that's a female vocalist. The singers name is Rody Walker by the way. He's a character.
One of my favorite bands - thanks so much for reacting to some of their songs!
This is one of my fav❤
There's indeed a female singer in the final sequence, her name is Jadea Kelly, she sometimes appears on PTH tracks and she is INSANE!!! I love her work, really recommend
Jadea doesn't appear in this song. It's Kayla Howran.
This is one of my favorite tracks from them. Chris Adler of Lamb of God recorded drums on this album. Roddy does the cleans and the growls but there is a female guest vocalist for that last part. I get the chills everyone she sings "Fall of leaves".
Love that you did more protest the hero
Also please do propagandhi (night letters, duplicate keys, zoochosis, rattan can, coaches corner, without love)
Omg man! I own all their albums. Never thought ud cover something like this they are high octane lol
I learned from their youtube stuff that they use a hair tie on their guitars for the tapping. They keep the hair tie on the far end of the guitar so it doesn't interfere with normal notes, but when they're gonna get to tapping they bring the hair tie to the strings to help mute all the strings they won't be tapping. They are really something else!
I'm commenting this again, just because I think your reviews on songs are some of the best out there, but here's some outside of rock that I think stand out.
Eyedea and Abilities - Glass. (A hip-hop song which is the antithesis of a verse chorus verse chorus song. Just a roller coaster)
Shad - Storm. (Off his new album, he steps away from being a main lyricist to make a SONG. Powerful. Talks to your soul)
Gramatik - Brave men (Moves and builds and takes off)
DJ Shadow - Stem/ Long Stem (Masterpiece of a song and an uncommon fave)
DJ Shadow - Corridors (Made with Steven prince who does movies and stuff)
Interesting projects for longer listening.
Serj Tankian - ORCA (A symphony in 4 acts)
Dj Shadow- What Does Your Soul Look Like (One of those projects that stands out and talks to you)
Would love to hear you do some Gates!! Either Not My Blood or The Thing That Would Save You
You have to do the safety fire. They have a song called huge hammers that that is a journey!!
I honestly believe this is one of the most complete and accomplished metal songs of all time. I know that’s a bold statement but there’s just so much going on from a technical standpoint while also being accessible and listenable. Super stoked you checked it out.
It took me years to get into this band, but Volition was the record that sold me. Clarity and this one are my favorite tracks.
Female singer for the 2nd part. She's on some of their other songs, like Hair Trigger
Great song like the whole album!
Jadea Kelly, she also plays Kezia on the often forgotten the divine suicide of k music video
It's someone else on this song, her name is Kayla Howran. Jadea Kelly is the one on Hair Trigger and a bunch of their other songs
@@Hellion6325 oh, didn't noticed her voice was different lol
The female singer on this song is Kayla Howran. Jadea Kelly sings on Hair Trigger.
Geebz is the best at these when he does a wakey bakey lol Love ya brother. Lookin forward to a CannibalCorpse reaction.
Geebz and PTH... The best news of my day. Clickes LIKE even before watching it!! Please Skies from the same album!!
I am a bit out of place here, but I think Warsaw or The First Breath You Take After You Give Up by Them Crooked Vultures would be awesome
theyre good canadian boys yeah from down the highway
love it when you react to protest! check out skies or ce la vie next!
Yep, the additional vocals towards the end were female vocals done by a friend of theirs I believe. I haven't seen this particular song live, but their music actually translates really well live and they sound fantastic. They do a good job making the guitars cut through and both of the guitarists are really precise, so the good sound you are hearing on the recording is not a fluke, they can pull it off.
Here's a suggestion of something completely different for you: early Big Country track 'Inwards' (specifically, the live version from their Peel session in 1983).
Cheaper old indie production vibe, but... good Tony Butler bass, *great* Stuart Adamson guitar.
Legendary UK DJ John Peel called Adamson "a new Jimi Hendrix", but I doubt the US heard his earlier, elaborate, less commercial playing - certainly not this prog/metal/rock audience.
People usually note fortress as the best album but I think that’s nostalgia talking. This one is their best imo. Shout out to Yellow Teeth on this album too.
Rody in their earlier stuff is pretty green, but he’s really come into something special in this album.
I just discovered you when I seen you reacted to my favorite band the Smashing Pumpkins than noticed you do a lot of bands I love. Would you please react to Dinosaur Jr.'s "Kracked" or "Out There"? I'd also love to hear your take on the Smiths and At the Drive-In!
GOD DAMN this song is so good.
A couple other good bands to check out: The Safety Fire and Good Tiger, great technical abilities in both
Fuck the Safety Fire!
@@zumokumibonsu4501 dude is there a thing with 'fuck the safety fire?' You're the second person I've seen post this. What's the back story to the whole 'fuck the safety fire' thing? Cuz I love both good tiger and tsf
@@nothere941 yeah it's their thing, kinda like "primus sucks!" Fuck The Safety Fire.
@@nothere941 its just a thing the band used to say and then people would say it at shows haha
I saw Good Tiger opened for Protest the Hero not long before COVID, great recommendation (it was a great show too)
Unbelievable track. Personally, one of the best metal songs of the 2010s. Lyrically I'm not even 100% sure what it's about but some of the lines are very poetic, and the instrumentation is extremely sophisticated.
You need to listel something from Pacific Myth, their 2016 EP, maybe Cold Water or Caravan
Have you considered going back to Wintersun? I'd really like to hear what you think of Time. It's arguably better than the other song you have done from Wintersun, and it's from the same live session too.
C'est La Vie would be a great song to do next if you want to do more Protest the Hero.
Please do From the Sky by Protest the Hero. One of their most amazing songs in recent years IMO. Pianos and super slow melodic parts!
He already did it, go look it up
Good song. I think you should listen to Linkin park's "The little things give you away" One of the best songs written by them in terms of sound and composition.
Try From the Sky, All Hands, Soliloquy, Reverie, or Gardenias from the newest album
He already did From the Sky
If you liked protest, I reeaaalllyyy recommend you to check out Hail The Sun. Insane band, insane group, the singer is the drum player, can't go wrong. Maybe the "The 'Fun' In Dysfunction" is a good track to begin ^^
I second the Hail the Sun recommendation, but I'd prefer a song off of Wake, like Disappearing Syndrome maybe. That whole album is the pinnacle of their catalog for me.
I feel like I'd recommend Hail the Sun to people who like Circa Survive more than people who like Protest the Hero.
Rody is a fucking beast
