    As a huge Protest Stan I'm stoked to see another one of their songs here, shame SME had to Spoil the fun the first time. PtH has a seriously special place in my heart. Went to a friend's house after school years ago and Much Music (Canadian MTV) had their New Canadian showcase going and at 4pm on a weekday Bloodmeat starts screaming out of the TV and I just sat there dumbstruck. Completely credit that moment with getting me into heavy music and playing guitar.

    As much as I love Protest the Hero and this album in particular, I always felt like the transitions in this song were almost non existent. Like they got to the last song and just decided to exhaust every last riff and idea that they hadn’t yet found a place for. If you listen to the whole album start to finish I think you’ll agree that this song is sort of an outlier and feels a little thrown together.

    It's prog metal. The genre is pretty diverse, including what elements from other music may be implemented by any given prog metal band's unique preferences, but odd time signatures/math metal are always a reliable indication.

    • @d.hodgsky

    I dont remember which tracks you listened from them, but their earlier tracks have tamed the beast way better than their later ones.
    C'est la Vie, Palms Read and Wretch are great examples of awesome songs with nice pacing.
    Also, PTH is Prog Metal and Mathcore! (which is basically hardcore math rock)

    I would absolutely love to hear you do a breakdown to Caravan from their EP Pacific Myth. Many consider it their magnum opus. It's an incredible song, powerful when it needs to be but also pulls back at the right points. I feel that would be a song that you'd appreciate to a higher degree than their more intense riffing all the time.

    Great reaction and analysis. I met this band thanks to BabyMetal - Rondo Of Nightmare, a song heavily inspired in PTH - Bloodmeat, i highly suggest you to check it out both songs but don't worry Bloodmeat is half length than this one lol. BabyMetal is longer because you don't want to miss the Mischief Of Metal Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014, you can find a clip safe to react at "Kawaii Metal" channel, is a SuMetal solo and is totally different unlike the usual happy songs style.
