*No amount of showers is gonna clean that filth off*
Comment what you want me to react to down below!
some MeloDeath or TechDeath would be awesome
React to crush by Polyphia
Would love you to check out something by Sleep Token. Not always the heaviest but do bring it. The Offering, God's or Higher are a good choice.
I don't know if i mentioned it but Hacktivist are Pretty awesome
This is exile - Whitechapel
Who else has found great bands through nick
apparently not you with that linkin park profile pic
@@jacksonelder8519 linkin parks a great band not a fan of the new album but a huge influince to many
I found Loathe because of this channel. Loathe is the best fucking shit ever.
@@jacksonelder8519 are you seriously out here disrespecting Linkin Park... To gulag with you
@@RiggsHB holy shit just checked em out they're insane
Tuning: Drop Satan
pretty much
Ege Urgan yup
@@tfwnoyandere Oi I have feelings you know
Lol
String: bridge cable
"No amount of showers is gonna clean that filth off"
Just gonna add that to my repertoire of ways to describe bangers.
Jason Miller :D
*"Those poor kids in the pit. Those poor souls"*
Nik really loves talking about kids getting destroyed
Lone Conqueror Gotta warn them
Does that make him the Infant Annihilator? 🤔
Lead singer looks like the evil version of lead singer of a day to remember lmao
Is he from Earth-2?
gotta love his evil twin XD
Lol
Damn, these guitars are almost as low as my self esteem
LaserDeathTurtle gg
Wait what! New reflections????? Actias Luna is one of my favorite songs ever.
Edit: That was absolutely nothing like Actias Luna
I reaaaally recommend checking out their previous album, The Color Clear. There are songs as heavy as this, but there are also more melodic and ambient songs. There's a good variety in The Color Clear.
Man... if anyone is here listening, they are probably familiar with The Color Clear! Us die hard Reflections fans have been waiting 4 years. This release was highly anticipated. Also.... this is literally the first new track they have dropped. The Color Clear is an absolutely beautiful album, however I think there will be some melodic sounding songs on the new album! This track is heavy as all fuck. I think it's to catch all of our attention.
RELEVANT This song gives heavy Exi(s)t vibes!
RELEVANT yep. It’s like them saying “we’re fucking back. “ I’m so happy with this though, I never stopped listening to TCC
I fucking love Exi(s)t, it's just beauty
@@punchdrunkfunk23 couldn't agree more! Definitely a wicked heavy song with nice subtle hints of their previous work.
'pterodactyl demon' I can't x'D
Yasmin Bela the thing it fits soooo well.
Although the "p" is silent i want to say it anyway when i say that word :|
Yasmin Bela that part surprised me
I’m a drummer and I feel like if i was THE drummer for reflections I would get lost in the melody
Yeah I got that feel too. Great focus on his part.
Josiah Sutton ok
Reflections are local dudes where I’m from, our entire state blew up when they dropped this hahaha
This is the noise you hear when you dip your head in the river of styx
Jared: "But does it Djent?"
Reflections: "Hold our beers"
Saw Jake their vocalist mention he and their guitarist Logsan wrote this whole album and he does the drum playthrough for this song so I believe he wrote and recorded the drums too. He's an absolute powerhouse.
It has been years but i finally got to see them perform this live this weekend and holy fuck. Best live experience ive ever had. Reflections killed it
I never thought I’d see the day when reflections released new music. I haven’t heard their new material since Charles Caswell left.
Same tbh. Everything they made after Charles left was pretty weak imo
The Color Clear is amazing.
Rich McConnell The Color Clear is the best record in history
Dylan LikesOAA except Exi(s)t was better
same. just a *few* songs from "The Color Clear" are really good like Autumnus, Actias Luna, Translucence, Transparence, you know, the melodic ones.
the other songs are just a complete copy paste for me personally.
"I just never really went deeper into them." Nik Nocturnal 2019
Maybe he didnt go deeper, but they went deep into everyone that listened to the song
Seth Ford ;)
hmmmmmmmmmm...
PLEASE REACT TO TERMINA - LUCID ITS THE BEST SONG I'VE EVER HEARD
Pamazacre
Played with reflections years ago. Smoked some "tobacco" in my car with them. Cool dudes
Its youtube... you can say weed.....
@@davidhampton7982 I know. That was me trying to be funny
massive "the fantasy effect" vibes, i can't wait to hear the whole album
I miss that time, i listened that alb00m millions of times
but with better production quality!
@@brunomtk6979 I still listen to that album a million times a week.
This really sounds like a mix of emmure, slaughter to prevail, rings of saturn (and obviously reflections). Wasnt expecting this exactly from their last few albums but honestly this is sick
Fun fact most people don’t know: the vocalist (Jake) has said in interviews that he has always written the drum parts for their music and then let the actual drummer (Nick) put his spin on it. He has a beautiful drum kit and although I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing him use it in a video or anything, he obviously must shred. I also was expecting at least a chorus or some sort of focal point but I love the fuck out of their aggressive side so I’m not complaining.
bringing back the telephone pole guitar string gauge tuning
the color clear was one of the best metalcore albums in recent years. no gutteral vocals more feels inducing and it actually was the exact emotional state of then vocalist
I thought the same thing when I first heard the song, but now listening to a bunch I guess goosebumps when the parts change. especially the vocal changes
So good seeing everyone so hyped about their return. What a great time to be alive! REFLECTIONS WILLOW 2020
WE NEED THE IMMORTAL LORNA SHORE REACTION NIK!!!!!!🤯🤯
david Palosika I’d love to but vid will prob get blocked :(
@@NikNocturnal edit the album cover over the music video. Metalbirb and GalacticCriminal were both able to get theirs up by doing that.
The new guitar player on the left of the vocalist is Logan Young. He's from all over the US and he's also currently in the guitar player of Mothersound. If you like shit like this, check out his old band Hollow Point or his thall/djent project Dal Av
It’s been a very long time since I smiled because of how heavy a song hits
The fact that he can go from such depth to such height with little to no effort or preparation is just absolutely amazing.
please, PLEASE listen to their album “The Color Clear”! it’s incredible, and it delivers in every facet. the best record ever written, by FAR.
much appreciated homie
It's heavy but not sure I'm feeling it. When the tuning is so low nothing really stands out
It was a shame with the breakdown after the long pre-breakdown, because the guitars couldn't really do anything extra to add to it
blegh agreed, that build up was unnecessary too. But that makes it a bit different, overall I’m gonna bump this non stop
agreed
Completely agree, the guitars just sound the same through the entire song.
agreed, it got super monotonous after the first minute
Bleed From Within - The End of All We Know :>
Xdeelol yes pleaseee
Every Nik reaction video be like "Bassist did alright"
Imagine if Charles Caswell was still in reflections, how crazier could berried alive turn?
Yesss I wonder, miss the old Reflections but this was cool
i think if charles was still in Reflections he would have less time to devote to berried alive and we would probably get a more cookie cutter djent solo project. i prefer it the way we have it, where charles can legitimately make his guitar say “fuck you”
Apparently the relationship between the rest of the band and charles wasn't great though, i believe if he kept playing with them we wouldn't have stuff like The Color Clear which is imo their best record.
The bassist Francis Xyana is freaking amazing. And yes its the same vocalist since the first album, Jake Wolf.
I seen the drum play through video as an ad once. Didn’t even care what I was originally there for anymore.
I know everyone says it on your reaction videos but when you get hyped for the brutality of a song, it’s so relatable lol.
Minnesota metal at its finest! 👌🤘 Dont sleep on Reflections.
MY FUCKIN BOYS! Us Minnesotans have been waiting for these guys to pop back out!
these dudes are using bridge cables on their guitars & I love it so much
I don't have a CD player anymore, but I pre-ordered the new Reflections already. I can't say enough about this band. I've followed from the very start of The Fantasy Effect and they are just one of the most standout best bands across all the metal genres I listen to. It all started with guitar playthroughs with Patty and Charles. Was sad when Charles left, but we got Berried Alive so I can't complain. The band went on hiatus after The Color Clear, very happy to have them back and this song to reintroduce themselves is very fitting!
Once again bro, authentic 👍 much love, great song and reaction
Check out Make Way for Man - Fireflies or Ideations. Metalcore band from Perth. Dual vocalist who both sing, scream, growl and fry. Please enjoy!!!
The color clear is one of the best metalcore/djent albums of all time
That "cool innovation guitar work from the end" stuff is basicly what makes Reflections that awesome for me and I can only advise you to listen through them some more because in lots of their songs the have way more riffage and dissonant fast guitar stuff and it sounds like thats exactly what you where looking for
Fuckin love this band
This song was very interesting and I love it awesome and hilarious reaction as always nick keep up the great work 🤘🏻🤘🏻
His reactions are priceless😍😀
Should react to Thornhill - Where we go when we die xx
The ending sounded like 2019 version of Recreant by Chrlsea grin
Jared: but does it djent?
Reflections: hold our strings
Thanks for reacting to this song. Thats one more song for me that i am gonna play dead. This shit is so fucking heavy
A great old one from Reflections to check out is Vain Words From Empty Minds
Rumor is this is the secret boss level on powerwash simulator. Absolutely filthy.
mothe: we have josh travis at home
josh travis at home:
Glad you mentioned Emmure. Definitely reminded me of them to.
you should react to Dealer - Pretty Stupid and Crooked
Listen to the color clear and exist all the way through, masterpieces
there for sure was a bassist XD it's my friend from high school, Francis.
James Meiers do you know anything about him rejoining? Hella siked to see him there again. I remember Jake saying he was irreplaceable when he left
@@BulletProofBacon from my understanding he is not going to be touring with them, more was just helping them and is possibly doing home shows when they tour.
Lmfao One giant breakdown song that was interesting 👌 great video dude!
Hey Nik! Look up there playthrough to "an artifact" they are holly skilled. never see someone so fast do a scale run.
Instant. Relentless. Smashing.
React to Lorna Shore - Immortal ???
Definitely!
Shawn Humphries vid would get blocked :/
@@NikNocturnal And what do you think about it?
@@NikNocturnal Maybe don't watch the video?
That emmure comment was spot on
This band is dope. Thanks for sharing bro
Love this song like a mother fucker. Reflections will always be a big ass influence.
No bassists were hurt in the making of this song
I hope some elements of Color Clear come back to their new album
Dude I missed this band! I miss when Charles Caswell played with them, Exi(s)t was such an insane album
Would love to see your reactions to Abandoned- Unprocessed and Cloud Cascade- Invent, Animate 🙏
1:14 when you notice u stepped into drop satan
I can tell the EZ drummer's "The Metal Foundy Kit" in the song, cus it's my kit on my superior drummer
Bleed from within- the end of all we know.
Cmon Nik, everyone is waiting
Jeez. I haven't listened to Reflections in like 8 years. Thanks for the reminder.
“YOU FUCKING PTERODACTYL DEMON” I lost my shit hahahaha
The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza is heavy in this.
Low low low underground tuning. I have listened to this masterpiece for hours🤩🤗🤩
Ahh, my favourite kind of guitars - static noises with high alien sounds.
Sums up my dream reflection from nothing. Sound like a movie with bunch of glass horror
Hey man! I’d love to see you do a reaction video for Upon a Burning Body - Reinventing Hatred
It’s a track from their latest album that came out this year!
Love these reaction videos Nik! They get me so pumped, I love it
Jason Jackson absolute banger of a track and album. Southern Hostility is one of my aoty
Wes Sones absolutely man! I’m not a huge fan of theirs, but the album is pretty damn good
It would be cool if you reacted to I Prevail - Gasoline, if you haven't already
he's either reacted to it or covered it, I think
@@gregdjentyguy9986 Nope, he hasn't.
I know. It's one of my favorites from TRAUMA.
This was kind of their return from a 2ish year hiatus. While Color Clear was super dark/nihilistic vibe, their older stuff was much more “tech.” They came back way more brutal, and it was by design. Color Clear is still their best work (best heavy full length in the entire 2010’s decade for me).
Bro, you should check out : dance gavin dance - death of the robot with human hair... or son of robot .. both are hot fire that you'll love
Geez man reflections turning into some slam metal. Damn I did not expect that. Definitely not what I remember but I sorta like it. Ok nevermind it seems they were like this in the last album too so I must just be remembering wrong 😂. Actually the last album had a bit more metalcore elements, but the new album is just straight up deathcore or slam metal or whatever you wanna call it lol.
So this is what spawned the demons that now haunt us in 2020
Perflections
Holy fuck. Love this song so much and great reaction! They just dropped a new single called “help” it’s even heavier you gotta listen to it
"ULTRA MAGNUS" from Watch out Stampede... Thanx !
Hey man ! I really enjoy your works!
the vocalist is the same, Jake really blew me away with his vocals on this track
the tunning is so low that i dont even ear guitars
Yeah, it's a bit too much lol.
sorry for your hearing disability
please do a reaction to Pangaea - Survivors Guilt. You will not be disappointed. absolutely fantastic work of art. i wanna see your reactions to how that track ebbs and flows through different styles and emotions. this band is one of the most technical, young bands out there. this song will blow your mind and hopefully have you craving more from them
I would like to see you do a comparison reaction video of Alazka and their two lead vocals. So a reaction to an older song with Kasim: Empty Throne, maybe? And their new song with the new singer, Tobias: Dead End.
Been waiting for Reflections to come back for way, way too long!
Cheers from America !
Always love these vids.
Maybe a Defiler - Canaanite reaction?
