Played this game so many goddamn times during my childhood. It's surprisingly intuitive and you can really make various types of metal/rock music with this.
When would you consider they found their sound? To me they were always very distinct. And they change sound every album so Idk if you can even say they found their sound technically.
"If they made Punk-O-Matic 3, I would just play that game every single f***ing day" As someone who enjoyed POM2 every day as a kid and just waited and waited for POM3 after reading the OG blog about it, that hurt. Lmao. I'm happy to see my childhood like this again! It's a great game!
The fact that Punk-o-Matic 2 is a free online flash game and has held up so well for like 14+ years or whatever is awesome. I remember playing both versions so much as a kid/teenager and I'm glad that people still remember it and use it to make cool songs. PoM was super ahead of its time and I'm forever thankful that the devs made it. The real question is when are you going to record this for real?
The Metalcore version of this was my first exposure of the Channel, since then I’ve been back to enjoying music based content on TH-cam. As a kid it’s how I found all my music but now TH-cam is a documentary platform to me But good stuff Nik
I had no clue this game still existed! I would have assumed it died with the 'wild west' internet days. I liked making pop punk/ skate punk songs with this even though I was a metalcore kid.
Fun fact five78 a real band now i asked nik nocturnal and he said and i quote from his twitch stream like 2023 you can make it but i dont recommend making a band but sure you can make a band called five78
What a definitely original and creative idea for the band name to be Metallica and Megadeth combined. I don't think anyone has ever thought of doing that.
I've tried to use Punk-o-Matic to try and write Prog. It kinda works? Lol you can use the cutoff tool or overlap tracks to make bars of 3, so odd time sigs are in the question 😂
This game should smash with those sports career modes (when they're good) in a modern game. Throw in some Guitar hero and ill bust a fat nut. Have similar mechanics in song building to punk-o-matic, throw in a WWE or Madden-like career mode, in depth customization to members, props, pyrotechnics, throw in basic effects and "production" sliders, go from a shitty little venue to MSG. We've got the ai now that you'd have a half decent judging or critique to the songs, maybe have a management aspect to the game where you have to choose between contracts and tour lineups. The closer the style your made songs match with the others, the better rewards in the career. Damn I wish I knew how to code.
Oh my god this takes me back to grade 7 when I was supposed to be typing EDIT: WHOA THEY UPDATED IT GODDAMN it officially has more QoL updates than a Bethesda game.
We Do Fun Metal Things In halls of steel, where amplifiers scream, We headbang fierce, our hair a windswept mane. The double bass drums thunder like a dream, As shredding solos drive us all insane. With fists raised high, we form a metal wall, Our bodies surge in time with crushing riffs. From stage to pit, we answer music's call, Our spirits soar as if from mountain cliffs. We growl, we shriek, we sing with all our might, In leather clad, adorned with spikes so bold. From dusk to dawn, we rule the metal night, Our passion for this music never cold. Though some may judge our ways as quite extreme, We do fun metal things and proudly gleam.
О мой BLEGH!!! Я помню первую часть, в 2004 году мне 14 и мы с братом экспериментировали в этой игре😀 Гитар не было тогда ещё у нас поэтому развлекались как могли😄😆🤘🤘🤘
Nic is back with the greatest flash game of all time.
Evil dog approves
I spent countless hours on Punk o Matic 2
Absolutely loved punk-o-matic growing up
I can't believe how accurate the drum animations are. Respect to the devs.
yea true!!
If another Punk O Matic game ever gets made, Nik better be sponsored by it and get paid big bucks to have an in game character in his likeness.
FL Studio: "I'm the best DAW"
Reaper: "No way loser, I'm way better"
Punk-o-Matic 2: "Heh, amateurs"
Played this game so many goddamn times during my childhood. It's surprisingly intuitive and you can really make various types of metal/rock music with this.
It honestly sounds like avenged sevenfold when they first started writing tracks, before they found their own music style 😂😂😂
I feel like it would fit perfect in a black ops zombies game 😂
When would you consider they found their sound? To me they were always very distinct. And they change sound every album so Idk if you can even say they found their sound technically.
@@nicolasreny221Bat Country definitely, before that they were just a generic metal/emo/deathcore thing
@@Viper-dz2kw 💀 you know nothing about music
@@nicolasreny221you asked when they found their sound, that’s when.
I'm dead sure this flash game is what most people use nowdays to make a hit metal song.
Like, it's perfect.
I love how the guitar line-up is James Hetfield and a mix of Brendan B Brown and Fred Durst
punk-o-matic is DEF a core memory. likely one of the best flash games of all time. so glad it lives on VIA flashpoint

I love seeing Nik do some old stuff he used to do and bringing the game more hype so COOL 😎
Man, I completely forgot about Punk-O-Matic, groovy track Nik!
Should put all of these on Spotify
fr
yes
Yes😊
Thank you for keeping Punk O Matic 2 and flash games alive ❤
There was a song that played in the background as you created the songs which sung about being an ice cream man. If you know, you know
Yeah, It's one of the songs used for the game.
Soundtrack on this game is too good
Running over kids in his minivan.
can we jusr admire how well the hand movements are done in a flash game
2:58 "Get your monster energy drinks!" as I'm drinking my monster energy drink.
I think this is the earliest I've made it to a Nik Nocturnal video. NICE
The Metalcore version of this was my first exposure of the Channel, since then I’ve been back to enjoying music based content on TH-cam. As a kid it’s how I found all my music but now TH-cam is a documentary platform to me
But good stuff Nik

NG lives on, baby.
I thought the 7:05 drum beat was the King of the Hill theme song. 😂
We need a full on "Metal Guitarist Reacts" but for the best rated punk-o-matic 2 songs
Gotta love these videos! The first one made me start uploading songs lol Thanks Nick!
We do fun metal things here!
Fun fact five78 a real band now i asked nik nocturnal and he said and i quote from his twitch stream like 2023 you can make it but i dont recommend making a band but sure you can make a band called five78
Bro immediately started making a count your blessings song
The part at 06:25 reminds me a lot of MCR haha
I was gonna say it's like MCR meets System lol
Been waiting for this. Thanks Nik :)
“It kinda sucked ass but it was okay” 😂😂😂
Holy shit, didn't realize this was still around...I'm excited for this lol
love this flash games videos... the songs you make are so cool
The one on the left looks like James hetfield
Man, now I have to get back on newgrounds
Screw you nik for making me do this!
lol i'm sure he's like "uh, you're welcome??" reading this.
Love seeing this series come back, such a great game that I used to play a lot back in high school
Add some gibberish Rawrs like in a Sims game as vocals.
is it me or does this remind me a lot of a metallica song. Sounds like a hardwired/72 seasons/ black album type song
2:43 my mind went to Gustav Holst’s - Mars the bringer of war.
Has Nik ever posted the tabs you can generate ingame for the old punk o matic songs?
What a definitely original and creative idea for the band name to be Metallica and Megadeth combined. I don't think anyone has ever thought of doing that.
Damn this is super well made for a flash game a long time ago
It sounds better than guitar pro imo
Nick literally made a whole InFlames song in flash game, what the actual heck??😂😂
That's because it's fun metal things.
Nic!!!! You have to get vocals on this shit!!! These riff are banger af!
More than any of the songs you did before, this is an authentic early 2010's Punk-o-matic experience.
I was beginning to miss Punk-O-Matic. Thank you, Nik
I never thought I'd see Punk O Matic on TH-cam. I was so disappointed nothing came of the third game
Man, the SMILE I had when I saw you made a video with the greatest flash game of all time
Ah, my childhood
Please release this with vocals. That is a very fun song
I've tried to use Punk-o-Matic to try and write Prog. It kinda works? Lol you can use the cutoff tool or overlap tracks to make bars of 3, so odd time sigs are in the question 😂
Love when these type of vids get posted
currently waiting for the album to drop
When the band plays you can switch the lights it gives concert vibes
I hear some old school Trivium in the pre chorus. I can hear Matt screaming something there!

You have to admit... That was pretty good for a bunch of dudes with no fingers.
Why does this sound like straight surf metal? I love it!
Nic! Have you done a video on Entheos yet?? Lady vocalist is giving some Will-Ramos vibes on their song "An End to Everything".
Oh my god this takes me back to grade 7 when I was supposed to be typing
EDIT: WHOA THEY UPDATED IT GODDAMN
it officially has more QoL updates than a Bethesda game.
you need to drop this, this goes bonkers fr 🔥🤘
Maybe you should make your own Metal-o-matic game. Get different people you know to contribute dumby thicc riffs.
This is exactly the menu music for any MX game in the 2000's
Just do another video of this game, this is fucking amazing Nik
FUN MOTHERFUCKING METAL THINGS HERE
It’s crazy how talented you actually are. I wish I could do stuff like this lol
Yes you can. Us humans can do almost everything if we put our mind to it
Ahhh man! The nostalgia of punk o matic!!
The Pre Chores sounds like something in the realm of Trivium lol. over all hard as hell though
Drummer facial expressions were epic 💯🤘
Punk o matic is pretty good tbh
I hear some Flotsam and Jetsam in this. Cool single, can't wait for new Metadeath's album. lmao
THANK YOU for coming back to this game 🥹🙏🔥
Make a metal song in Guitar Hero Studio
We Do Fun Metal Things
In halls of steel, where amplifiers scream,
We headbang fierce, our hair a windswept mane.
The double bass drums thunder like a dream,
As shredding solos drive us all insane.
With fists raised high, we form a metal wall,
Our bodies surge in time with crushing riffs.
From stage to pit, we answer music's call,
Our spirits soar as if from mountain cliffs.
We growl, we shriek, we sing with all our might,
In leather clad, adorned with spikes so bold.
From dusk to dawn, we rule the metal night,
Our passion for this music never cold.
Though some may judge our ways as quite extreme,
We do fun metal things and proudly gleam.
I loved this game. Flash games were great
We need to get Nik to check out guilty gear and it’s wonderful music. Not just the strive stuff, there is so much great music in all the other games!
can we get a part two of metal but the ending is a slow beatdown breakdown in Punk O Matic? i wanna hear it.
The sponge bob lick completely killed me
better than expected, very melodic tho
punkomatic + nik is my favorite combo
The title should’ve been : how to write a slayer song in a flash game
I would love to see you do a sludge metal track. That would be sick.
I’ve been waiting for this moment.
I will definitely listen to this if you were to release an official version lol
Punk-o-matic bring back memories...
Hell yes, more POM! Still want to see a viewer-submitted POM tracks stream/video...
Nic, the dark spots around your eyes might be a thing called Hemachromatosis.I'd suggest getting it checked as a just in case thing
one day in a year or so you need to come back to all these songs and play them on guitar, would be a cool video
О мой BLEGH!!! Я помню первую часть, в 2004 году мне 14 и мы с братом экспериментировали в этой игре😀 Гитар не было тогда ещё у нас поэтому развлекались как могли😄😆🤘🤘🤘
I thought my eyes were deceiving me, this game is nostalgic as FUCK 😂😭
Next one should definitely do Modern Metalcore, with all the dissonance noises you can make
Yuuuussssss, these videos are always so good
Duuude... Next thing you need to make in Punk-o-matic is country core.
epic moment starts at 7:45
Can you do death metal in punk o matic?🤘🙏🤘
FINALLY!!! HE'S BACK TO THIS GAME!!!
Someone got a haircut & style 😊
BRINGING IT BACK NIK!!
how to *punk-o-matic band name* in 30 secs, where its just attempting to play the songs he's made lmao
You need to record this for real with a singer
The bell notes are sick for real hahahah
Crazy
