@@BlakeWengdalPhotographer yeah no shit, most bands play to a click, be it only the drummer or the entire band. And to get that studio sound they had some backing tracks as well, at least for the vocals. Nothing wrong with that
It’s because they intentionally did it, trying to emulate something like deftones… i wish with all my heart i could somehow get this album in my hands without the fucking vocal effect cos this is truly incredible without it and it slaps so hard live
Originally they were a djent - metalcore band. I love how they managed to pull such a change in their style but still having those low riffs and heavyness here and there.
@@user-ou3pj9yj9t I don't think so. They said it's exactly how they wanted it and I'd say masters would have been sent for vinyl production a while ago to work out the release date. That's just my take - I could be wrong of course.
I don't think they're underrated because everyone who listens to em, falls in love with them. I just think they're not very well known. They'll get there....hopefully
They went for a stylistically different approach. I think they were going for a distorted/dreamlike vocal mix, akin to what you would hear in a lot of shoegaze rock and metal (aka Deftones Loathe, etc.). Personally I enjoy it and don't see a problem in the vocals being slightly less front and center in the mix when the instruments are melodic and layered really well like this.
Those screams are inhale screams and those tend to ruin your voice and are in this case not clear at all, like you cant tell what hes screaming. I truly hope he learns how to properly scream one day because that would fit the band very well.
Man we heard that classic rock n roll catchiness in Dark Pool with a lil bit of metal darkness to it. Here they seem to have really really embraced that feel even more.
The new songs are pretty killer. Good stuff so far. Love the old stuff but the new stuff is also really good. I'm glad they're not resting on their laurels.
I said it before and I say again. Australia has the best Rock/Metal scene on the whole planet. They have so many top tier bands. It's not even funny 🤔😂
@@devilguidance2735 I´m talking about the current scene. In my opinion Australians are the current kings of Metalcore and also Rock. Canada and U.S.A. have a lot amazing bands. But in my opinon they can`t beat Australia
Yeah no shit. Never had a problem with their new sound, it’s just the mixing where you can’t hear Jacobs vocals at all.. I really like it it but wish I could make out the lyrics coz it’s sounds muffled. Still love Thornhill!
@@cesarcastanheira1774 Thornhill, Spiritbox, ERRA, Void Of Vision and Northlane round out my 5. Still putting Thornhill and Spiritbox a cut above. Everything they do is transcending and unique. Northlane last two singles were very safe and forgettable imo.
This band is how I imagine the band The Vampire Lestat would sound like; Jacob is how I imagine Lestat would sing like. All this to say that this band has preternatural talent.
Ok I didnt fully get the critique on the mixing of the vocals in the other singles before, honestly thought it sounded fine. But after hearing this yeah it would be nice to have his vocals shine a little more. I get the stylistic choice of making it washy and super distorted but this really doe shine a lot more.

These Australian bands are in another class musically. -US fan
Amen.
Thank you for all the amazing and inspirational bands your country has come out with also - Aus. fan 🤟
Light years ahead of us!
Agreed! Australia musically, is ahead of the game! COG, Karnivool, etc…
props to the drummer, he kills it
Big Ben Maida
His Name is Ben he's a fantastic drummer.
He said this was one of the easy songs lol
@@aliyahburnette8018Bruh you’re literally “Obsessed” with these dudes
2:43 and 2:50, that 1/2 note break, bringing a COMPLETELY different groove to the song. UNREAL
im so glad someone else said this. 2:50 is unreal.
@@Alfie-xj5sc groove of the CENTURY
Nic Peterson influenced
@@Alfie-xj5sc thoMESHUGGAHrnhill
Absolutely! Sounded even heavier
Jacob's vocals are worlds top
His live performance was not that great imo
@@Kevvyrey weirdo
@@Kevvyrey I just seen him live last night and yes, he is amazing live
@@siarncrawford9641 im glad he did better.
@@Kevvyrey Admittedly he used to not be that good live but he is great now i saw them live recently
Loving the new stuff.
These guys, Northlane, Polaris, Void of Vision etc.......so many Aussie bands killing it within the genre!
Australia are producing some of the best bands At the Moment , great to see!!
I genuinely think it's better than the recorded song. So good
Absolutely what I was thinking! Probably because it's just the band minus most of the studio tricks.
@@brendonlake1522 And it also had what I expected in the studio version the first time I heard it: a scream to close the song with the breakdown
You can actually hear jacob in this version
Its the removal of those muddy vocal effects
I agree the live version is way better I can hear Jacob's vocal's clearly.
It's my life's goal to hear those vocals live someday
Edit: I did on april 21st in toronto lmao circle pit went absolutely insane
July 6th in Toronto here, can confirm pit went crazy for this song
@@younghollywood3115 they were SO DAMN GOOOD!!!
It's amazing how much this sounds like the studio version
theyre playing over a track with a click in their ears
@@BlakeWengdalPhotographer Wrong
@@S1L3NTD34TH He's not wrong dude, most bands do it these days. The good ones atleast.
@@BlakeWengdalPhotographer yeah no shit, most bands play to a click, be it only the drummer or the entire band. And to get that studio sound they had some backing tracks as well, at least for the vocals. Nothing wrong with that
You mean how much better it sounds 😜
the bass tone though.. 🤟
The recording, mixing and mastering team of these videos needs a raise.
Love how the singer is styled a bit like Layne Stayley. He's got the vibes!
Ultimate version of Muse for me, much love!
much more muse than muse can be today sadly xD
Wish MUSE went with this direction instead of more pop sounding. They haven't been good since 2012. At least we still have Showbiz - The Resistance
Musa + Vola = Thornhill
Killed it! Love actually hearing the bass, amazing mix!
Vocals are so much better here. Amazing performance.
Agreed.
the mix is better
It’s because they intentionally did it, trying to emulate something like deftones… i wish with all my heart i could somehow get this album in my hands without the fucking vocal effect cos this is truly incredible without it and it slaps so hard live
I didn't know them before but my first thought was 'they really sound like Muse' (until the screamy bit) .. then .. the cover!!!!
Me too I just discovred thornhill over the spring break and man these guys from Australia rock.
Originally they were a djent - metalcore band. I love how they managed to pull such a change in their style but still having those low riffs and heavyness here and there.
These lads deserve to be way bigger 👌 i didnt think they would be this good live but jesus
Wow. Love the studio version but that just blew my a mind. Awesome.
i know you boys are sick of hearing about the mix, but im so glad i can understand the lyrics this time round. keen for the album!
@@user-ou3pj9yj9t I don't think so. They said it's exactly how they wanted it and I'd say masters would have been sent for vinyl production a while ago to work out the release date. That's just my take - I could be wrong of course.
@@user-ou3pj9yj9t lol move along bro
Good tunes from a couple good bois
Amazing Boys! Can’t wait to see some more heavy acts on like a version!
polaris has super cool like a version vids!
@@poopguy6208 saw those! Absolutely ripper
@@lucaburchartz516 I love Northlane’s 4D mix on here man.
@@revent29 Yes!!
@@lucaburchartz516 yesss dude australia is just killin the scene i guess
This drummer is so smooth with it. He doesn't even look phased, not one bit
This song is so much better without all those vocal effects/distortion like on the studio version imo. Sounds great!
Totally agree. You can really hear his voice in this version so much more!
Hohoho
No.
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!
Nah
Yea gotta agree on that one
Literally prefer this over the studio version. This is mixed so much better.
one of my fav band outthere, really underrated!
I don't think they're underrated because everyone who listens to em, falls in love with them. I just think they're not very well known. They'll get there....hopefully
@@levilively8643 hidden gem
I'm not a guitar guy but that solo was so krispy clean
I've watched this 100 times probably
I love this band so much, rooting for more live like this
Amazing
Man, only discovered these guys really recently, and they are giving me massive Deftones+Muse+Arctic Monkeys+Architects vibes and I LOVE that.
even live, that tone is still fire!!
Best song on the album hands down
This sounds great. What happened on the studio versions lol. The vocals are ⚡️here. Those screams are fuckin bomb.
Vocals got buried
They went for a stylistically different approach. I think they were going for a distorted/dreamlike vocal mix, akin to what you would hear in a lot of shoegaze rock and metal (aka Deftones Loathe, etc.). Personally I enjoy it and don't see a problem in the vocals being slightly less front and center in the mix when the instruments are melodic and layered really well like this.
Those screams are inhale screams and those tend to ruin your voice and are in this case not clear at all, like you cant tell what hes screaming. I truly hope he learns how to properly scream one day because that would fit the band very well.
@@neapolis7570 bro trying to tell Jacob how to scream 💀
@@TySquared yeah? inhale screaming can literally cause severe damage to you every vocalist knows this lmao
The pipes on Jacob 🔥
Yes I love Jacob He's my favorite male vocalist now top 7 favorite male vocalist of all time.
Very explosiv new Band 🤟👍😎🎧🎶👏
This guy had a great voice and should keep improving. Live this band as a almost 50 yo. Great unique sound.
Yes Jacob has an Amazing voice he's one of my top 10 favorite male vocalist of all time in my opinion.
Great voice
If their mixing on their albums sounded like this they'd be a lot more popular. its a shame such good musicians aren't doing this
not really lol
Lmao they don't give a fuck about it. This is what they wanted to do, move on
Y’all so mf picky, the album was amazing
@@MannyMo_ I agree. The music is really good. The mixing is not
Oh Gooooddddddd!!! CASANOVAAAAA! 🧡💜✨🔥
Totally dig it!!! The song the the clothes
INCREDIBLE! i KNEW this song would be banger live! 🤘🤘
Utterly brilliant
LET'S GO GUYS
These guys can play those dang instruments, including singer! All great, but a killer bass gets me every time.
Holy shit 🔥
Cant wait to see more of this guys!!!
These guys are amazing
1:53 strings on this shell pink strat look super thicc, almost like bass strings.
I LOVE thornhill

TAKE EM TO THE TOP!!
Excellent song!
Oh helll yeah
So cool!!
That sounds so tight it’s amazing!!
Solid
Man we heard that classic rock n roll catchiness in Dark Pool with a lil bit of metal darkness to it. Here they seem to have really really embraced that feel even more.
This is so good my god 😍

Wow. Just wow.
I can't wait to see them live!
Loveeee ittt❤️❤️
Yessss! An air of glassjaw in here smashed with all shall perish and propagandhi type progression. Loving the sound.

I love muse 😂 they never fail to disappoint.
Absurdly good.
Didn’t know Mitch could sing! Sounds great!
Was not expecting those screams 😮💨

FINALY FINALY YES YES YES
fuck this is so good
Yesss
Yes bois
Love itttttt

Amazing. Windwaker next triple j 🤟
What's insane is Jacob couldn't even sing when they started the band. He's become this good with just sheer will.
jep his vocals are insanely good live now
fucking love the groovy drums
your voice is incredible!!! never stop
These guys and Spiritbox are In a lane by themselves.
Northlane? :P

Wow, this is good stuff.
Damm I wish could see these guys live
If Marcus ever for any reason leaves Northlane,...

Jacob's mouth at 3:14!!!! Epic!!!
Clap track a little loud bro lol that engineer knew that. But besides that this is amazing. Love this song and band.
