My favorite album of all time. Opened up a lot of doors when it came to enjoying music. It showed me that heavy music could be emotional and chaotic. Thanks for posting this, it's so awesome to watch someone experience this for the first time. It's reactions like these that make sharing music so fun.
Heaven in her arms is probably the best or at least my favorite converge song. I think this is one of those bands that when they put out a record, its record of the year, easily. They innovate still. I don't think there are many that can compete with them. All we love we leave behind is probably there best next to this. Check out: DIllinger escape plan-Calculating Infinity Gaza-I dont care where i go when i die Deadguy-Literally anything Every time i die-Hot Damn Poison the well-Opposite of december.
Finally some Converge reactions on TH-cam. They aren’t talked about enough considering how legendary and influential they are. Glad to see someone young liking them especially just after hearing Concubine. This album is a phenomenal experience, it was fun experiencing it with you. Metalcore for the most part definitely stopped being good, minus the handful of old bands still doing their thing, in the late 2000s imo. Though there is a nice resurgence of bands like Knocked Loose continuing that old sound. Another legendary album to check out would be Botch - We Are The Romans or Misery Signals - Malice and the Magnum Heart.
Hell To Pay might just be the best production on any metalcore song I've ever heard in my life, that growling bass is fucking FILTHY and the way it leads into Homewrecker is perfect. This album is fantastic and I love it to death, please react to more Converge they are the most consistent metalcore band in terms of quality
omg yes! it would be so cool to see you get into more noisy metal stuff! kind of a basic suggestion, but Unsilent Death by Nails is a grindcore album that really helped me get into the sound (& it's only 14 minutes long!). a more personal pick is Caligula by Lingua Ignota, which isn't metal, but incorporates a lot of the abrasive style & i just think you'd love it in general
the struggle to find ppl who will listen to noisier stuff is real. I gave a listen to your EP from earlier this year, really liked it! Has a fuzz and grit to it that feels authentic and was weirdly immersive, especially with the extra context you wrote on the band camp page. feels inseparably American, if that even makes any sense - the harsh tones and vocals were great too. support queer noise!
Man since you are stepping those territories while getting deeper into the Swans work, you'll definitely LOVE and get amazed by Neurosis and Amenra. If you are interested, start with "Mass VI" from Amenra and Neurosis... hard to decide between "Souls at Zero" and "Through Silver in Blood". You'll love and feel more and more dragged into this world that Converge and Swans opened to you
If I was you I would be very careful. I got into this album earlier this year and I’m now at a point where I think that this might be the best metal album I’ve ever heard. This and Dopethrone are possibly the 2 heaviest metal albums of all time imo. Edit: oh yeah btw the songs you never woulda thought to be your favorite will eventually become your favorite to the point each song is like perfect.
I'm excited for this. This old man doesn't hear 00s fucking hardcore nearly enough. Broken vow is properly fun. I had a lot of fun with this man, good job!
Absolutely crazy that some people compared Jane Doe with the new KL album. There's almost nothing that can be compared lol Anyway, first person in youtube reacting to this amazing album. Apreciate it. edit: also you SHOULD listen to we are the romans asap
If you like this, there's an old school metalcore revival going on. Check out Vein fm - Errorzone(closest to converge) Balmora & Since My Beloved - Six Pacts Etched in Blood Withpaperwings - Demo Adrienne - Summers Beginning
This entire band is so freaking talented. Jacob bannon is probably my favourite hardcore vocalist of all time, and Ben Koller is an absolute machine of a drummer, too.
Converge are so damn underrated. They’ve been around for nearly 3 decades, and have consistently put out 5 star albums. They’ve influenced countless bands in the metalcore scene, and most of all, they continue to expand and evolve their sound with every new release. Highly recommend checking out their other albums. You Fail Me, Axe To Fall, and The Dusk In Us. Also if you liked Converge, definitely check out other Mathcore legends such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Botch.
Glad to see a solid genuine reaction to this album. It’s considered a masterpiece for good reason. I recommend the Disharmonium albums from Blut Aus Nord for more mind boggling metal.
The entire Dillinger escape plan discography is absolutely worth checking out! I would go ahead and do them in order of release it’s some of the best music made.
Love the channel, great picks and what seems like genuine first listen/reactions. When i first heard this album I couldn't hack it, I was a similar age to you when it came out. It took me a while to get into it fully but now It's one of my favourite heavy albums of all time. Alongside Botch - We are the romans, the first Dillinger album and a few others. I'd be super interested to see you react to Loveless by My bloody valentine or Six by Mansun.
this album fucks so hard. finally decided to listen a few days ago after having it on my radar for way too long and i've had it on repeat. my first reaction was pretty similar to yours, just in complete awe of how amazing it was. simply incredible metal. would absolutely recommend you give "Unsilent Death" by Nails a shot.
Find the video with the stage invasion/fight. It's fucking hardcore dude. Lead vocalist attacks with mic stand, a guitar is used as a weapon. Nutty stuff.
Hey! I love this album more thab I love myself haha Let me recommend you the album Ataxico by Joliette, they're a mexican mathcore band, doesn't matter if you upload a reaction or if you just listen to it by yourself, I think you would like it :)
![Reacting to the WORST Video Game Music! [2]](/img/n.gif)
First time Jane Doe listeners thinking "this is the best opener ever" not knowing what's going to hit them with the closer
I'm approaching 50 and it makes me happy to see younger people getting into one of my favourite albums.
I think you would absolutely love the Dillinger escape plan: ire works. If you haven’t heard it already.
Yeah Dillinger and Coalesce. And Botch if you wanna fuck around.
Not only a Metalcore album, is THE Metalcore album

Every time i die-Hot Damn
Poison the well-Opposite of december.

Dude that’s what I’m saying, I know they’re not an easy band to get into but dang I wish we saw more people checking them out

dude i'd love for snowy to react to caligula
@@ahumannamedcharles5329 oh my god thank you so much!! i hope to release some more in the future, tysm it means so much

You'll love and feel more and more dragged into this world that Converge and Swans opened to you
Next logical step would be We Are The Romans by Botch, that and Jane Doe are the 2 landmarks of mathcore
Add Calculating Infinity by The Dillinger Escape Plan to that list too!
I would also suggest Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child by Norma Jean

The Bizkit walked so Knocked Loose could run.
This is so true
holy shit my favorite album ever! you also should listen to dillinger escape plan if you like this
I'm excited for this. This old man doesn't hear 00s fucking hardcore nearly enough. Broken vow is properly fun. I had a lot of fun with this man, good job!
Absolutely crazy that some people compared Jane Doe with the new KL album. There's almost nothing that can be compared lol

Totally agree.
This comparison sounds like a joke.
There's almost nothing? I wouldn't say that at all.
I'LL STAY GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD
Stoked for this!!! You gotta do their other masterpieces - Axe To Fall & All We Love We Leave Behind - at some point
surely you mean You Fail Me next?
@@mynameismark25 works for me too! I prefer the two I mentioned, but You Fail Me is also fantastic
A bit of a specific one, but I would LOVE to see him check out their stuff on the poacher diaries. Specifically the redux version.
the breakdown at the end of Heaven in her arms is my favorite moment in all of metal and music
If you like this, there's an old school metalcore revival going on. Check out
Vein fm - Errorzone(closest to converge)
Balmora & Since My Beloved - Six Pacts Etched in Blood
Withpaperwings - Demo
Adrienne - Summers Beginning

I swear I’ve come back to rewatch this reaction just to also remind myself of the first time I listened to this album man.
Hearing Hell to Pay live in insane. They’re always so right live and somehow keep coming with great albums.
Also, you gotta do a Blood Brothers album at some point. Some of the best post-hardcore ever, and some of the best screams ever.
Converge are so damn underrated. They’ve been around for nearly 3 decades, and have consistently put out 5 star albums. They’ve influenced countless bands in the metalcore scene, and most of all, they continue to expand and evolve their sound with every new release. Highly recommend checking out their other albums.

one of my favorite albums ever, reaction was on point. so fucking heavy
YES my favorite metal album ever. I was surprised to see this pop up tbh!
Let’s fucking got this album is absolutely STUNNING
The entire Dillinger escape plan discography is absolutely worth checking out! I would go ahead and do them in order of release it’s some of the best music made.
Hands down the best metalcore (if you can even call it that!) album EVER recorded. Utterly timeless.
I clicked so God damn fast. One of my all-time favorite albums.
this album got me into metal/hardcore
Thaw is my favourite Converge song, period!!!
Love the channel, great picks and what seems like genuine first listen/reactions. When i first heard this album I couldn't hack it, I was a similar age to you when it came out. It took me a while to get into it fully but now It's one of my favourite heavy albums of all time. Alongside Botch - We are the romans, the first Dillinger album and a few others.
I'd be super interested to see you react to Loveless by My bloody valentine or Six by Mansun.
Welcome to the Converge cult!
Your channel has introduced me to some of the best music including swans and slint and now this thank you!
this album fucks so hard. finally decided to listen a few days ago after having it on my radar for way too long and i've had it on repeat. my first reaction was pretty similar to yours, just in complete awe of how amazing it was. simply incredible metal. would absolutely recommend you give "Unsilent Death" by Nails a shot.
You'll definitely love Chamber, basically one of the successors to this type of sound
so glad you checked this out !! easily one of the best to ever do it
Homewrecker was always my favorite.
You should try CAVE IN’s album UNTIL YOUR HEART STOPS!!!!!
Kurt Ballou has done college lectures on his production of this album. lol
You HAVE to listen to All We Love We Leave Behind by Converge. Such a good album!
The new Umbra Vitae (same vocalist as Converge plus members of The Red Chord and Hatebreed) rips and is worth a listen if you like this.
Find the video with the stage invasion/fight.
It's fucking hardcore dude. Lead vocalist attacks with mic stand, a guitar is used as a weapon. Nutty stuff.
Best album ever made
Hey! I love this album more thab I love myself haha
Let me recommend you the album Ataxico by Joliette, they're a mexican mathcore band, doesn't matter if you upload a reaction or if you just listen to it by yourself, I think you would like it :)
one of my favs ever ❤
nice one. proper reaction.
Their next album You Fail Me is even better imo
If youre down for mathcore I cant recommend Carbomb enough. W'w''w'w is my favorite album of theirs but Meta has awesome production.
go see them live!! skull's still getting pierced
Check Out Botch and Burnt by the sun .
Great Video !
View number 666, your wellcome
I have faith in the new generation and this should be their leader 😂
Hey man I recommend the album the changing of time by underoath if you haven't heard it you may like💪
Im sorry but nothing compares to Jane Doe. Knocked Loose is really good but Jane Doe is QUEEN!!!!
do you like burzum or emperor or people like that? Blackgaze or doomgaze stuff is worth checking out. Planning for Burial is right up your street
everyone here in the comment section should go and react without a camera to The Lurch by Yautja.
Knocked Loose has absolutely nothing on Converge
Also here to rec again Choirs Of The Eye by Kayo Dot, one of the best metal records ever written
Next logical step would be We Are The Romans by Botch, that and Jane Doe are the landmarks of mathcore
Yessss if you're into this, PLEASE check out Botch!
Botch. Frequency Ass Bandit. Everything else. Yup
And Miss Machine to, dillinger redefined the Mathcore there
