#Novelists #NewSong #Reaction - เพลง
Thank you Nik! We knew this song was going to surprise a lot of people! maybe you like the next one better ;)
Hi :)
I liked it
Great works guys! somethings different in a good way!! i fucking love this song
Never listened to this band. I like it
Love the work! Next reaction should be LANDMVRKS!
I wasn't expecting the Alazka vocalist to step in. That's a welcome surprise.
Me either but I'm stoked
Wait, THATS WHO HE IS!?
I love alazka man.
Alazka music is amazing
Flo's solos are ridiculous. Some of the best in the metal game by far.
this one was pretty standard though, not that impressive compared to his others
@@athmaid I was generalizing his overall solo ability. I wouldn't consider this standard, as it flowed with the melody well. This wasn't a banger, so anything too technical may not have worked.
@@athmaid maybe not technicality-wise, but damn it was tasty
Always loved Tobias as a vocalist. Love his raw emotional tone. It's sick to hear him singing too. Glad so many people are hyped for this
I was really sad when Alazka split up - they used to follow me on Instagram and I met Tobias on the never say die tour. I felt quite the personal connection with em (and Kassim had one of the best voices I’d ever heard), so it really hit me. And when Matteo left Novelists, I was hit again. He was unbelievable, and in tandem with the incredible solos, he made the band stand out. Crushing lows and stunning cleans - but it was not meant to be.
This song absolutely banged, the best merging of the two bands that could have been - an evolution of Novelists’s sound with Alazka’s spirit in tow. Tobias has become something truly special - his cleans have improved so much, and this new direction is seriously fresh. There’s hope yet for these glorious lads.
Where’s Kassim nowadays?
@@shawnkurtisTV I want to know as well! Imagine if he stepped in for cleans in Novelists now :O
Not sounding weird but everytime a solo from Novelists starts playing it hits me so hard tears drop no cap lol
The old vocalist is in a new band now, Sal3m. Their stuff is pretty sick, and you should check it out!!
thnx for the heads up
Will definitely check them out!
Damn, thanks.
@joseph ka wow, so you believe in fairytales? So you still believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny too? You do know that the only reason you believe in your religious views is due to your geographic place of birth? Let's say you, yes you, were born in Iran, your religious views would be passed down from generation to generation, so Islam would be your religion. Now let's say you were born in Australia before the colonization by the English. You would be Aboriginal and believe in the dreamtime. Religion is just as real as anything fictional bedtime story, pasted down from generation to generation.
Please get facts if you going to comment on a amazing track, by an epic band, on a incredible guitar players reaction video. Your rhetoric is completely toxic to this world.
@@myauramusic well said brother👍🏻
Love this, vocals blend well with the style, electronics are smooth, punchy breakdown, incredible solo
Hell yes!!! I was so damn excited about this too. These guys never disappoint! This track kinda changed their direction a teeny bit, but it's a banger af! Loving it!
Interesting direction for this band! Been following them since the first album, can’t wait to hear more new stuff from them.
Yoo im ready for this. Let's go nik!!you always got the bangers!!!
Looove tobias' vocals. So sad alazka disbanded, the were one of my all time faves, but I can't wait for this album
Really loved that tonal change in the second verse. That and the solo were my favorite parts
I enjoyed old Novelists stuff but I like that they're riding the prog wave and mixing up their sound. Step up in songwriting quality
nah, 2 steps back imo... not all changes are an improvement by default
Always enjoyed their new vocalist when he was in Burning Down Alaska / Alazka. The only time I heard him doing cleans was when the recently added clean vocalist left and they did a couple of singles before calling it a day. I really hope he’ll use more range screaming wise. Matteo has those crushing lows which I’ll miss for sure. But I know he’s a good vocalist, lets see how this will turn out on the other new tracks. Hopefully we’ll hear more next month.
Funny how Nik knew the instant the solo was gonna hit. A true Novelists connoisseur.
NIC PLEASE START REACTING TO “”THE UNGUIDED”” nighttaker, never yield, daybreaker, crown prince syndrome, etccccccccc amazing sweedish band!! The lastest album FATHER SHADOW is insane!!
I've literally just listened to the song and here you are reacting to it ! Really happy to see a French band get more and more international recognition. Sad to see Mattéo go but Tobias is just so talented I think they made a great choice
Florestans solos are some of the best shit ever written, by anyone. They're all so fucking good
Okay, so, Novelists became a hugely significant part of my life everyday about 5 years ago in one of the worst periods of my life so far. Without being too dramatic, they kinda did save my life in that being able to listen to them made me feel less alone with my dark thoughts and distracted me from suicidal thoughts on several occasions. I just connected with the music and unusually for me, the lyrics as well. When i heard Mateus was leaving, i was worried that connection i had with the band would be lost. I'm gonna be honest, this wasn't a "bad" piece of music per se, the individual parts, instrumentally were as usual well written, however i feel like the structure and flow of the song didn't really make sense and seemed chaotic. This new vocalist, i like his voice, its certainly not turning me away but its definitely going to get used to not hearing Mateus' unique tone. EDM part was...Ehhhh, again, could be just getting used to it like the vocals. Keen to hear what else they've got, but i really hope the general novelists sound is still being maintained even without Mateus. Unfortunately for me this was not even close to being as emotionally charged and evoking as Mateus era. 7/10 for me. But i'm not just gonna fob these guys off after their first new release :) Enjoyed the hell out of your reaction as per usual Nik, thanks for being a positive influence on my life sir :)
Dude you couldnt have say it any better, Novelists was also a big key piece in my everyday life so I was kinda sad when Matt announced that he was parting ways with the band. Although I like new the new singer old band Alazka, he being in Novelists Its doesnt feel the same but lets see on what they come in the future I guess.
Antares was my first with them
Damn, very generous score. 5/10 for me.
Same. Souvenirs album just spoke to me. Had the exact vibe I was looking for back then.. and was hooked ever since. I like their newer stuff but nothing will ever hit as good as souvenirs
How about a sick cover of this one, the solo looks like so much fun
That's why I love Nik, never heard that band before, now I'm buying their cds 😂
I could listen to that solo all day, my favorite part of the song.
So. I'm old, and while my playlists are eclectic, I missed out on a whole genre of music by losing my self back in the 80s for the past few years.
So I need to say THANK YOU for introducing me to "new to me" bands n' stuff.
whoa this was very unique and beautiful all in all
Oh man. I respect the honesty in your opinion Nik, especially with knowing the guitarist personally, but Novelists have been one of my go-to bands for years now. I too became was very accustomed to Meteo's voice, as well as those super unique and fun Antares/Lichtenberg Figure/The Light, The Fire type riffs, but this new-ish sound paired with the new vocalist blew me away. All of 2020, I have been on top of nearly every new release among metalcore bands, and this one is #1 for me. It has been on replay since they premiered it, and it will be well into 2021. I know I'm a little late to this one, but as always, love all the content and keep fuckin' shredding 🤘
i dig it for how different it is. i think they are trying to read whats going on with how other bands are embracing a pop presence
Ooh I like it. Grooves and smashes
FUCK ME THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GUITAR SOLOS OF THE YEAR 😍😍 chills for days !!
Holy shit!! That breakdown was way heavier than I was expecting
Would love a reaction to one of the two new Dreamshade songs Nick! Great stuff as always.
I need to learn that solo! it's so fucking beautiful :')
Are we going to get the Termina album before Christmas? Also you should react to Before I Turn-Sleep ft currents vocalist. Totally just spaced out his name, holy shit!
This was some of the best news in the music world since the end of Alazka. Novelists was already a favorite band of mine, but with the addition of Tobias I am SOOOOO happy right now.
Very cool song never listened to these guys before, enjoyed the song though put a smile on my face after a shit day at work :)
After Howard vs Jesse, now we have Matteo vs Carmile.
My favourite song is now Mourning For The Dawn.
Im fucking in love with this song. Love this direction
I fucking love novelists and can't wait to hear what's next with their new singer
Straight to the list
I've never listened to these guys before this. Fucking hooked
The solo is just too delicious. I cant get enough of it.
Aviations - Outliers. You need to hear this song my dude. Metalbirb and Galactic Criminal have done a reaction so far, and I strongly feel that every metal reactor out there needs to hear this song and needs to help bring this band the exposure they deserve.
I agree! Aviations are amazing and should be more well known.
Big truther
Definitely
Agreed
Yep
Wow this song had me from the very start amazing
Fuckin awesome band. You're on point using flavorful to describe the solo. 🤘👁🤘
This song hit me in the heart
This was dope af
This is incredible
man this song is just so so good ❤️
Never heard this band before, really cool!
The heavy sections have a Make Them Suffer vibe. I loved old novelists stuff but I also like this sound a ton!
I feel like this is one of the soft tracks, like À Travers le Miroir. Bets on the next single being a banger
I love it, finally something different
Nice vid man i liked their new sound. Also check out the new hacktivist song.
That's my boy Tobias from ALAZKA (Burning down Alazka) :D
So happy he got the spot in Novelists atter Alazka wrapped it up! Love Tobi's style and cant wait to hear more
Well with oceans eating them, that place must be really fucked.
I freaking love this song
That was great man. And now do the reaction on Ember Falls - We Are Become Fire. It´s awesome, the best Metal I´ve ever listened to, they really leave everything behind with that new song and I really listen to a lot of great Metal, including some from your reaction vids. XD
This song was sssooooo good especially with the electronics
Your reaction to this says a lot of what I felt hearing this song, I am hoping for more improvements though.
yo nik! you should react to “dont wade in the water” by the amity affliction if you haven’t listened to it yet!
Wonderful Song, i loved it
Love this new track 🇫🇷
I still prefer their old sound but this is pretty good too, Tobias is a great replacement as well, talented vocalist. Also Nick, please do check Matteo's(the old vocalist) new band called Sal3m, they sound great. I'm super pumped for new music from both Novelists and Sal3m!
Omg that Of Beauty and Rage pic is siiiick
@@arzakconnel Thanks, Red is my favorite band since 2010 and Of Beauty and Rage is also my favorite album.
@@Ecstas345 ahah same, Of Beauty and Rage is still swinging in my car. A bit disappointed by Gone but a lot more satisfied by Declaration though
@@arzakconnel I personally enjoyed Gone(with the exception of that unstoppable cover) but I can see why some people were a bit disappointed by it, still better than Release the Panic though, although I do think that even that album was decent, just bad by Red's usual standard. I also agree that Declaration was pretty great, a comeback to the old Red but overall heavier.
Solo part awesome!!!!!
For me Matteo was what made this band special unfortunately. That's still good, but there's nothing standing out. Also this song is really a patchwork of unrelated parts, I miss something making this smoother
Yeah, loved the electronic build up to the break down, but then the chorus felt so out of place (and i'm not a fan of this chorus, I think it's the biggest issue with this track because the outro with the solo was cool)
yes, just yes.. i totally agree!
I feel like the guitar work has always stood out the most from this band, florestans kinda a god but the unique vocal was also a huge part of it, I still like the new song but I hope that the next songs aren't following this style too much lol, I wanna hear way more tasty riffs
Love the Northlane PFP
@@blacklotus2136 thx 😉 I love this band
I was very sad when Alazka had to split up 🥀, I love the combination of Tobias scream and powerful Kazimir vocal.
But boy, Tobias clean in this song 👍🏽
Man, this new vocalist have such a insane mainstream sound to him, its insane. Fantastic replacement.
Which Polaris song did Florestan feature on!!?
Nik can you cover Worthless by Lost Society? There are currently 0 covers of it on youtube since they are a smaller band that would be really cool!
This is great !!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Interesting song! Very versatile and powerful.
song is gorgeous
This song is a whole journey.
Holy fuck I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS ALBUM.
hey nik, have you heard villain of the story bloodshot? it's pretty good.
holy shit this was a banger!!
Next you should do Fleshgod Apocalypse.
hey man, check out the new songs from diamonds to dust! The names are "Corpus christi" and "silance is also suicide". They are awesome!
Amazing band and love that they have Tobias in on vocals, he was unreal in the old Burning Down Alaska.
Need your playlist on TH-cam Music
lol "The EVIL chord"
ANYONE MISSING MORE OF MATTÉO'S MUSIC:
.
I recommend checking out a band called: A Call To Sincerity. This was his first band, before joining Novelists. They have one album only. Now, interesting thing about this, is that I actually found out about Mattéo's potential as a singer through this band. And I remember that this was around 2014-2015 maybe. In any case, this band was no longer around when I found out about them. Then through a quick research I learned of Novelists through the song "Immedicable", and that was it. Instantly was hooked and it became one of my favorite bands of the genre.
.
Putting this aside, props for Tobias in joining the band. I wasn't really into Alaska's music, although I recognize they had talent. Great Flo and the other members managed to replace Mattéo w/ someone at his level (still prefer Mattéo though lol).
If you could do a reaction for Mask of Judas - Mesmerist, that would be amazing! The solos are incredible and great vocalist!
Great review. Thanks for being honest about it and not kissing ass. I really enjoyed your style on this. My first visit to your channel, Nik. Take care!
You should check out outliers(reimagijed) By aviation, awesome prog metal!
I never comment anything from u but you may be very interested and hyped for new Vola record after hearing their last song... 😊
nik looks more energetic and happy. is it novelists or did you get enough sleep?:D
Still getting use to it, the vocals mainly, mmm and I felt a little lack of what Novelists FR is recogized of, their riffs and melodies... Hopefully we can hear more of what was missing in my opinion in this first experimenting song. Other than that, It´s just great to see them back in the road, but that is my final conclusion. Great reaction monster!
I’m digging the Sam vibes from the new vocalist
Their new vocalist is from the band ALAZKA! They were one of my favorite bands and I’m heartbroken that they broke up
A true banger with a twist...
opens video:
*Nik mimicking writing*: Novelists
*closes video*
Haven’t seen a single funny intro yet
OMFG it's tobias!!!! I was not expecting that!!!
Wtf did I just watch? I LOVE it!
LPOM - One cup of happiness or Digital Cramps...
They are a couple and the drummer is the singer
Yo Nik! Could you check out Severances - Opportunist or Tyrants - Fear? I've just discovered these two songs today and they are fucking great! I'd love to see your reaction to them
Honestly... I hated the fuck out of it at first, but after listening on repeat I absolutely love it. It was just so different from what I was accustomed to from the band, but I'm glad I gave it a chance cause I'm super excited to hear what else they got in store
Nik, I have a suggestion for you:
You should react to some songs from a band called A Metaphor for Betrayal.
They’ve got some Heavy bangers.
This song is awesome.♡ gets you in the feels everytime.♡
As someone with PTSD and Bipolar Depression, I get the chorus and it speaks volumes. Not all wounds are visible.
Ник, а почему когда я хочу перейти по ссылке на оригинальный клип - он предлагает мне подписаться на ТВОЙ канал?) это какая-то ошибка или тонкий маркетинговый ход?))
I'll just appreciate the burning down alaska that we had and the novelists we had and enjoy what this new band of similar name brings
