@@Kevin-uz6sv I thought Catch 33, Sol Niger Within, and Lateralus (Holy Gift version) would be "untouchable" albums. But this....this.... is on the same level.
In my opinion djent is groovy, fun to play with (usually dreamy)open space ambience, while thall is based on momentum and impact, with an eerie and dark open space ambience. Both are quite complex, but while djent is controlled, thall will usually catch you off guard.
If anyone’s wondering the “tweety bird” technique is done by pulling the high e string down around the bottom of the fret and picking In the case of this guitarist who plays upside down it’s up around the fret
I was wondering that, cause it didn't *quite* sound like a typical volume cut, but I had such a bad habit of pulling the high e off the side when I started playing that using it on purpose would never have crossed my mind
I agree. There were a lot of great albums in 2021. Spiritbox, Whitechapel, and Sleep Token who are my favorite band, but this one is definitely the best of them.
Love the vibes in the video. Just two dudes genuenly enjoying the music -- that's just precious. Feels like I'm checking out new music with metalhead friends I never had 😅
We will all look and hear music of this caliber in a different way now. This entire album is utterly perfect. They truly nailed it. I still can't get over this LP.
VILDJHARTA IS THE BEST BAND SINCE TOOL! I SAID IT! 😈 but I have to correct Dan, Busters main band is Humanity’s Last Breath, Vildjharta would be his side project that he’s kinda helping out with because those guys brought him on but I digress because Humanity’s Last Breath is absolutely amazing, they don’t get as much praise right now as they should but their up there with Vildjhartas, Tools, Meshuggah, Tesseracts etc etc
@@MBIRTIRoma Not what I meant. Acid helps to open your mind to hearing nuances in music that your sober mind otherwise may not. Plus Maynard has stated that their music is best enjoyed on psychedelics, so...
This song ends like Forrest Gump's run, suddenly and unexpected. And while everybody is waiting and speculating some real reason or great meaning behind it all, the song is just like: "I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now."
They've been legends in the underground scene for nearly 15 years and they are the best kept secret in metal. Listen to Omnislash before this album...you'll appreciate it a lot more but I won't spoil the surprise 😉
I selfishly want these guys to put out new music more frequently, but when you listen to them, you just know putting compositions like this together would take a long time. #Thall 🤘
Album of the year candidate, indeed! But have you listened to their guitarist's and drummer's side project called Stoort Neer? That shit is heavy as fuck too!
During the podcast with Buster, Nik was taught how to properly pronounce it but you have to remember Nik has many skills but speaking isn't one of them. In other words he sucks at english lmao -JC
Quick thing, this isn't the first thing they've dropped in 10 years, it's the first album they've dropped in 10 years but there was an EP a year or two after the first album. Anyways ive loved vildjharta since the first album and i fucking love this song for taking a 40 second instrumental from the first album and turning it into a fully fleshed out reprise which goes kinda way harder than the original
ive always thought thall is to djent what downtempo is to deathcore similar sounds just slower but just as wild and a bit more menacingly violent sounding with just a bit of ambient
5:50 he isn't that far off lol, according to some interpretations, at that point of the song, the main character is in the end of it's journey back to måsstadens to find the "umbrella lady" which was his lover in the first album. At the end of the first album he had to leave måsstadens, and left the umbrella lady there. Also in the first album, one interpretation I saw was this song was played at a wedding at måsstadens, which involves the umbrella lady and the tyrant.
He might be onto the sitar influence. They can have up to 30 strings, with a max of around 9 actually being playable. The other strings are there simply to resonate with the notes being played, and it seems Vildhjarta has always loved to play around with the constructive/deconstructive interference of playing different consonant/dissonant phrases. It’s similar to what you see a lot of black metal bands like Deathspell Omega, Svartidauði, and Yellow Eyes doing, though I think they’re more inspired by how harmonically chaotic black metal already is
@@web shadow, all these feelings, and dagger. In the middle during an ambient kart you hear the five notes from the intro to dagger then it goes into that chaotic, super aggressive riff. When it went from dagger to new heavy shit, I fucking lost it.
It was gonna happen when Trivium released their album but Matt didn't have time during that Friday. But in general guests are always on stream when they are releasing new stuff, there is a reason Dan was there -JC
It's a me, Caleb!. Finally back from the shadow realm with THALL.
Hope you guys enjoy this one, stay tuned for more
- JC
Hi Caleb, How's it going? sad I missed this stream but great to see highlights from you guys as always. Keep it up! :)
@@cameronevans353 Hey thanks, we try our best to bring the juiciest content to YT
Yessss!!!!
Vildhjarta is evolving the genre like Meshuggah did 20 years ago. This is a special time in music
That's exactly what I thought!
@@Kevin-uz6sv I thought Catch 33, Sol Niger Within, and Lateralus (Holy Gift version) would be "untouchable" albums. But this....this.... is on the same level.
HLB and Atlas too, if thall is a genre, it's so transformative for Metal.
is it now
Animals As Leaders too. Music is in a great place, indeed.
I don't think they realize this is the entire 1st album condensed...I feel like their minds would be blown even more like mine was
This album is fucking insane. I didn't expect a 80 minute progressive djent thall ambient monster of an album to be so engaging. Can't stop listening!
To me this album is an absolute 10/10. This shit is so sludgy and fucking brutal as hell. I've never heard anything remotely close to this album.
@@xTheBeserkerx Chrck out Catch33 or Sol Niger Within
@@02SplinterCell02 yea that album is absolutely wild i love it too bad the mix is kinda ass
favorite album of all time
I love how this song is kinda like a mashup of the riffs from their first album but taken to a whole new level.
That’s what I thought too!
The first time i heard it i was like "yooo, this riff is from that song, and this from that, holy fuck!"
I'm pretty sure the song they took licks from was Dagger. Correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, it made me happy when I heard those licks.
@@itsallaboutbrass927 There were at least 4 or 5 songs from OG Masstaden included in there.
@@bartoszbartosiewicz1123 Good to know. Let's see if I can figure them out

Damn...perfectly stated. I have always said that djent is controlled chaos and thall is chaos controlled, but your description is much more clear
That's a good definition. I always seen THALL as Djent fused with Avant garde metal (bands like ulcerate, ad nauseam, and deathspell omega)
That's a nice way to put it! Great comment
So Thall is a genre now huh
@@lolh4x A subgenre of metal. yes. It does slowly becomes a genre, just like djent.
Love how they took all the best riffs from Måsstaden and made one supersong of it. Imagine when they do the same for this album in ten years
The songs that they remixed old riffs from were Shadow, Dagger, Traces, Phobon Nika, Masstadens Nationalsång, All these feelings, Nojja, and Deceit.
🖤
I heard benblast in it as well

The fact that they included many riffs from the first måsstaden blows my mind.. and it sounds awesome!

I love Dan. Once he starts up his Twitch, we need a weekly show from him and Nik.
2:17 it amazes me, that they don't realize those last 5 low clean notes are from their old song "dagger"
I was hoping they'd catch that but they just talked over it!😔
That part hit me like a freight train on the first listen
Wish you listened to them more so you could hear the mash up of old callbacks in this song. Takes it to a whole other level
They genuinely look like they could be good friends
we genuinely are
@@DanSugarman what is your social security number and mothers maiden name?
@@seanmcadams1216 bahahahahahaha
Honestly my favourite track from the album. Just a perfect call back to an album that changed the game
this is my first time listening to Vildjharta. holy fucking shit.
now you must listen to Masstaden and Thousands of Evils.
Welcome, you won't be leaving now
Welcome to the family

Naw. They just like to take forever to release music like Tool lol
the first time i heard this song i was at the gym and ive never lifted heavier in my life. i felt like i was training to punch out god.
this song is an amalgamation of many previous songs riffs, changed and altered
This album but sunset sunrise so far has grabbed me. So glad you're watching this
I'm so glad people recommended this one! I was hoping to see you react :P there's so many awsome riffs from other tracks in this ❤
This song ends like Forrest Gump's run, suddenly and unexpected. And while everybody is waiting and speculating some real reason or great meaning behind it all, the song is just like: "I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now."
Yall shoulda done Brännmärkt. Watching the reaction to the finger snap woulda been killer.
My head blew off when I notice its every song from 1st album
Never heard these guys before but I'm definitely going to look them up, thanks Nik!

Referencing the riffs from their first album as a theme.......amazing!!!!
Album of the year candidate, indeed! But have you listened to their guitarist's and drummer's side project called Stoort Neer? That shit is heavy as fuck too!
Not huge on INK, but Dan seems like a very cool, fun and thoughtful dude! Also, the song is sick, probably my favorite on the album.
The whole album is amazing 🤩
Who else noticed the homage to their demo album with that Traces riff?! Fuck yeah.
Me: Mom.. my throat hurts
Mom: do you want me to get you anything so you can feel better?
ME: yeah… do we have anymore THRALLs ?
Ice Nine Kills should make a song based off of Where The Wild Things Are. That would be fuckin disgusting with all the destruction
I feel violated in a fucking fantastic way. That whole album goes HARD.
I am really happy that the Vildhjarta is alive again!
Thall. Whole album is insane. Nick learn how to pronounce Vildhjarta you're making a mockery of the Nords damnit.
During the podcast with Buster, Nik was taught how to properly pronounce it but you have to remember Nik has many skills but speaking isn't one of them.

@@NikNocturnalTwitchClips lol
THALL
0:48 The inspiration was most likely inspired by some of John Bauer's artwork. He was a Swedish painter.
thats one hell of an album to listen to drunk holy
Love the streams with Dan & love the new INK & Vildhjarta albums
THE faces :D I mean its "just" weird timing signatures but they mastered it
funt fact - vildjharta means wildheart in swede, pretty accurate comparison with where the wild things are lol
THALLIUM - Heaviest Element on earth!
Thee ole mishmash of OG Masstaden riffs.
Orgasmic.
Thanks a lot for uploading this! Missed the stream and was very curious about Nik's reaction to under vatten
If I ever did mushrooms, Vildhjarta would be my guide
At some points, the faces Dan makes...makes me think he's Stevie T's older brother or cousin or smth 😂
bahahahahahaha
Dude, Dan should have his own reaction channel. A lot of fun!
2:11 i don't even know if Invent Animate was inspired by Vildhjarta or the THALL guys were inspired by IA's last album (look at public chat)
Invent Animate said their biggest influence is Vildhjarta
Quick thing, this isn't the first thing they've dropped in 10 years, it's the first album they've dropped in 10 years but there was an EP a year or two after the first album.

the little Ddddrt drrrrdrt (3:15) was from the first album too but they switched it up also it's incredible
Best album I’ve ever heard
this song is actually a compilation of riffs from the masstaden album
Hell yeah!!! I was waiting for this
"It's like Where The Wild Things Are”
Nik: ”YaaaAAAAhhhhH"
ive always thought thall is to djent what downtempo is to deathcore similar sounds just slower but just as wild and a bit more menacingly violent sounding with just a bit of ambient
Dan Sugarman just seems like such a cool dude
So many references to Masstadens! It's so great
Ong played this for my normie friend and he's obsessed

Cracks me up every time I hear Nik say VALJJARTA
This video is cool as hell
Can't imagine learning the full set on drums, just ugh
As a scandinavian It’s hilarious to hear you pronounce vildhjärta lmao
Nik it'd be awesome to see you react to Venom Prison. I feel like they're a sorely overlooked band.
T H A L L as fuuuuuuck! They produced more bangers! 🔥🤘🏼
The riff at 1:20 was a nod back to the first album btw
Everything is a nod back to the first album. The whole song is almost entirely constructed from riffs front the first album
imagine writing a thall song and then calling it "Seagull City's national anthem (under water)" XD
Seagullcity´s national anthem (under Water)
Yes! Please every Song
I wonder if they noticed the callbacks to riffs from their first album?
thall is like the dubstep on guitar
You guys should watch the documentary on where the wild things are and its author Maurice Sendak called "Tell Them Anything You Want".
I think that note Dan was talking about was the banjo.
He might be onto the sitar influence. They can have up to 30 strings, with a max of around 9 actually being playable.

Dan is such a cool ass guest
Thall
Dunno if u kno but this is a remake of Shadow from Måsttaden
It's a medley of the entire måsstaden album.
It's sounds like a remix of when no one walks with you
There are bits of Shadow, All these feelings and other songs
@@web shadow, all these feelings, and dagger. In the middle during an ambient kart you hear the five notes from the intro to dagger then it goes into that chaotic, super aggressive riff. When it went from dagger to new heavy shit, I fucking lost it.

VILDHJARTA
talking during the thall is a no go :(
T H A L L
What is this timing? Ikea-core
I want to like this but its at 420 and the stoner in me re-frames from clicking it
I was hoping they were gonna show some nostalgia. Breh????
The only true reaction to this is, THALL! 🤘
4:56 nik and dan falling into the abyss xD
Thall is what Djent was in the community before it became a named genre and took off to become the progressive nu metal core that we have today
Didnt know R2D2 started instrumentals
When are we gonna get a Nik Noc x Matt Heafy live stream action?
It was gonna happen when Trivium released their album but Matt didn't have time during that Friday. But in general guests are always on stream when they are releasing new stuff, there is a reason Dan was there

THALL, BROTHERS.
try the following pronunciation: "veeldjaerta"
This band is fucking insane
Dan looks a lot like Rory Scovel if he had long hair
