![ABCs of Metal - [U] - UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - "General of the Dark Army" REACTION](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FeCu5kiISvE/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm a simple man - I see Amorphis, I hit like button
he should react to Death of a king by Amorphis or The smoke
I see Amorphis, I think "The Castaway" & "Black Winter Day".
Such epic songs...
[edit]
And "Magic And Mayhem"! F* me for not remembering this masterpiece!
[/edit]
@@Teiwaz111 I’ve been listening to Amorphis from the beginning, but it’s also a great song from them! True, Black Winter Day is an anthem from them.
ich bin eine 50 Jährige Ungarin 🇭🇺
Mir ging es genauso 😜❤️❤️
InstaBlaster.
Congratulations, Amorphis is one the greatest metal bands you'll ever hear
Holy shit! Being a metalhead, I never heard of this band before. Crazy how a reaction video can get you into different bands. This band is awesome
Amorphis is so so good! Also highly recommend Children of Bodom, Sylosis, Insomnium, Nevermore
Omnium gatherum as well.
Glad to know you finally found Amorphis...this band has awesome tracks like Silver bride, house of sleep, silent waters, my kantele...
Especially the live version of My Kantele from 2016 at Huvilateltta, where they had a kantele and saxophone solos!
@@304totchi Haven't seen that but will surely check it now.
The older Amorphis as well like Black Winter Day, legendary song
They’ve got to be one the most underrated bands around. I love their music
@@304totchi ı cant find it you can send a link
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope 🤘
my top choice too for a long time
He has already done this a while ago
@@cannibalcorpse123 no he hasn't
YES.
THIS or Forget Not
this whole album queen of time is soo good
My album of the year
Never heard of this band, but after listening to this song about space bees crawling into people I think I'm in love with Amorphis!!
Best thing about this is, it is not made up, this is part of northern mythology.
@@yrt3034 not Norse mythology but local Finnish lore. Still cool as heck nonetheless
Tomi Joutsen has to be one of the best vocalists out there. Can't wait to see them this month.
Will see them soon in Antwerp with Soilwork and Jinjer ^^
I'm an American, but in London for a few weeks...saw that Amorphis/Soilwork/Jinjer will play Bucharest, so bought tickets to Bucharest and the show!
:-)
@@pookoos That show is amazing. Saw them 3 weeks ago and..... well..... what's to say about it. Nothing!! Perfect, every band nailed their set!
He lives in the same town I'm from and where my parents still live, it's weird to see him buying groceries with his wife and kids.
I saw them yesterday, it was pretty awfull, we only heard the drums and the voice, they seemed very tired, so the show was a bit boring.
Finland lives and breathes metal 😆 Must be the winters. Sometimes you might even just listen to some commercial radio station and boom - a Nightwish song.
Meanwhile in Germany: local radio refused to play Lordi's Hard Rock Hallelujah after Eurovision '06 'cos it's too
satanic...
@@DaniFilth87 Are you in Germany? I'm not trolling at all, just wondering as one of my current favourite bands is Lord of the Lost, from Germany. Um, ich spreche ein bission? Bestimmt! Totsiens!
I want to live in Finland 😂🇫🇮
Blind Guardian - Mirror mirror
or
Blind Guardian - Nightfall to letter "b"
And then there was silence… (Live)
The best one is still Valhalla :D
Time Stands Still or The Curse of Feanor.
Love blind guardian and all the books they sing about.
C for Carcass- Heartwork
D for Dark Tranquillity-Lost to apathy
E for Ensiferum-Twilight Tavern
I for Insomnium-While we sleep
K for Kalmah-Take me away or Moon of my nights(both are great hard to only pick two kalmah is insane)
M for Mors Principium Est-Monster In Me
N for Norther-Wasted years
I could probably pick some more, but most of these are must listen to melodeath(my favorite genre) songs/bands.
E for eternal tears of sorrow-prophetian
This D I aprove!! More Dark tranquility for the people
I for Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno!
And 5/7 are from Finland 🤘😄 Cheers! 🤘
@@Maigous_ Yall fins know your metal.
you're supposed to start with the A not with the Bee
I'm sorry
Heh, funny
First time i heard this band...this will definitely be on my metal playlist
Watch the videoclips to "Wrong Direction" and "Amongst Stars" by them. They'll blow you away too ;)
Amorphis is one of the all time great finnish bands. Tomi Joutsen their lead singer has some of the best dual vocals ever. Many people Pick different albums for their favorites, But their album Tails From The Thousand Lakes is considered their best. Tomi Koivusaari Their guitarist sang the vocals on it. it Is one of the Earliest Melodic death metal albums and pioneered the way for many bands.
A band that has changed styles so often and is so consistantly killer. One of my fave bands of all time
*Tales* from the Thousand Lakes. :D
My Kantele (acoustic reprise) is GODLY
Tales from the Thousand Lakes
you need to do more Amorphis. the entire album "Queen of Time" is filled with incredible songs! in fact, any song from their latest 3 albums are great!
The vocalist, Tomi Joutsen, is in my opinion heavily underrated. his growls are insane and his clear is incredible!
More Amorphis. End of discussion! :)
B for Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror or Valhalla (Live) !
S F M Burzum?
And then there was silence…(Live)
YES.
Time Stands Still.
If he does any live Blind Guardian song, as much as I love Mirror Mirror, we all know it needs to be Valhalla
Tomi joutsen is a master at vocals.please check out more amorphis music ❤️
These guys are absolutely amazing live, too. The band I play with opened up for Amorphis and Dark Tranquillity a few months ago and they killed it. Every song was solid, his voice is killer.
You are so lucky to play with them. Both are in my top 10 bands, have been listening to DT for near 20 years now.
They are amazing live. I have the joy of being a Finn so I've seen their shows like 15 times over the 15 years I've listened to them. Tomi's voice is one of a kind.
This song puts a huge smile on my face! Musically, this song is on point. The floaty, airy melody over the top of the deep, guttural growls is one of my favorite things for bands to do. Lyrically, this song is the most metal metaphor for a bee's daily life that o have ever heard! 10/10 would listen hundreds more times! XD
I’m surprised more people don’t request melodic death metal since he loves the mix of clean and harsh.
Been saying the same thing.
Precisionmetalheadx I think most people took it as he likes metalcore since that’s all I ever see requests for
I so badly want him to do Insomnium - While We Sleep or Revelations.
Twilight by edge of sanity
Well not all melodeath has a mix of clean and harsh. But yeah, all I ever see get requested is metalcore.
C - Coal Chamber
H - Havok
R - Rings Of Saturn
O - Opeth
C - Children Of Bodom
to name a few good suggestions.
Thats a good taste my friend :)
PANDALEX Thank you!
That's too heavy for him he only does radio metal.
M - my dying bride
K - katatonia
Les Brown hmm not entirely true, he's done Amon Amarth, Cannibal Corpse, so he can definitely do Children Of Bodom
You just opened the door to a whole (new) world of awesomeness. Amorphis is so versatile and has a metric shit ton of great tracks to discover. Enjoy.
Jus came here to say this is some of the best metal songwriting we get these days. The Bee.
Finally you did amorphis. If you want nightwish vibes from them, try the song among stars, you'll love it.
Anneke is another dutch goddess :D
@@MrValium100 indeed :)
2 of the best we have to offer in the Netherlands 💪
@@dennisvanopstal7360 i saw her with the gathering. Incredibile voice
Alex man can you please do Blind Guardian-Mirror mirror live from imaginations through the looking glass?!?!? Also Blind Guardian Valhalla live is reeeaaally epic too!!! You'll love it too!!! And when we're at it throw in Blind Guardian-The bard's song (in the forest) live as well!!!
Yeah, he must do blind guardian, they're just amazing.
Totally agree Blind Guardian is a MUST be on this list. Mirror mirror is a great option or Somewhere far beyond.
@@oscarmonsalve494 Don't forget about Bright Eyes, Precious Jerusalem, Sacred Worlds. There are so many BG's songs though, perhaps Alex should listen to one of their ballads first?
Valhalla. Definitely.
Time Stands Still.
They just keep getting better...
Never heard of them but now that I have..I'm hooked!
Jessica Jones so you should check out Death of a King by them next ;).
React to more Amorphis! Amongst Stars, Death of a King, Wanderer, Silent Waters, Daughter of Hate, Golden Elk, Sister and brother, Shades of gray, House of sleep, You I need,....!!
Wrong Direction!!!
He won’t be reacting to amorphis anymore (well at least for the next 45 days).
Which is a damn shame :D
O shit! Yes! Finally haha. I'm glad you appreciate Tomi's transitions from gutteral to cleans. Amorphis is amazing. If you want another band that mixes beautiful melody w brutality D definitely needs to be DARK TRANQUILLITY!!
Amorphis and Dark Tranquility - Long careers full of awesome music almost 30 years later!
@@australianmade86 Hell yeah! I saw them both in September and they both blew me away. Definitely two of my favorite bands. DT is one of the most consistent bands ever IMO. Every album is perfection.
DT one of my favorites!
I couldn't agree more.
Melodic Death metal is love ❤ DT is love supplier
Saw them live in London on 4th february... This was the opening track... 🤘There was a crowd blown away!!! Amazing!!!
This us one of my all time and still growing favourite bands. Have seen them live like 5 times and about to see them 6th. I'm never missing them when they are in my country. Very awesome guys and the music they make. Magical combination of harsh sound and this lovely symphonic voice of Tomi, the vocal and frontman.
Love Amorphis!!! One of the many epic bands from Finland!! The land of skillful musicians!! Check out Poets of the Fall!
If you like Amorphis, you don't miss any understanding :)
Two of my favorite bands ever! 😊 Will be going to both their gigs the coming Feb and March 😊 Lucky me!
FINALLY SOMEONE COMMENTING ON POETS OF THE FALL!!! Been a fan for almost a decade!
Tho they're not a metal band, PotF is def worth checking out!
This band sound sick!
YES, NEXT SONG “SILENT WATERS”!!
Thank you for reviewing Amorphis
I could watch your face of complete satisfaction when the cleans kick in over and over. That pretty much says it all right there.
Great ideia for the channel man. Amorphis is an amazing band ! Love these guys, they're so original !
And they have a lot of songs that are just clean vocals, Tomi Joutsen, is one of the best extreme metals vocalist ever, his growls AND cleans are fantastic.
I really hope that in the letter "E", Epica show up.
@kreshBACON, I thought of that as well, but he said it would be bands he's not heard/reacted to yet & I think he did react to one Epica song. I absolutely could be wrong, but, I do second that motion! Peace.
Amorphis- silent waters, house of sleep, from the heaven of my heart
If you get the chance to see Amorphis live, just do it. Don't even think twice. I've seen them twice now, once for Under The Red Cloud tour and then again for the Queen of Time tour. They put on a hell of a show.
My fav band ever ❤️
Tomi's vocals are difficult to even believe in the live setting. He's right there with the most impressive vocalists I've ever seen. Especially the death growls seem superhuman, like you can't imagine how that much power could come out of one person. (and yes, one person does both the growls and cleans).
Amorphis is so freakin good,you should listen to amongst stars too ,it is from the same album
Please react to Fear Factory for the letter "F". Fear Factory we're the first to mix clean and harsh vocals in the early 90's. I'd suggest "Archetype" but they have many great songs. I was pleasantly surprised to see your action to Amorphis.
Eduardo Bauer this!!!!! ALEX, you'll be so Happy!
My fave from the album!
One of my fave bands of all time
@@australianmade86 same
I have been waiting for this one. I remember when the single came out last year, I played it on repeat atleast 3-4 times each time I would sit down for a music session. There is just something refreshing about the song. I just can't describe it. And, I got to see amorphis live at Wacken 2018, and I had literal chills when they played this.
This is INSANE. After that little promo in the middle, when the song crept up again.. I had tears in my eyes. What. a. song.
CARCASS - HEARTWORK OR NO LOVE LOST
I was about to suggest this song (Heartwork) for the "C" day. One more vote for it! :)
Yeeeah Carcass, definitely No Love Lost 🤘🏻
N - Né Obliviscaris. It didn't get enogh love in the poll bc not very known but they are one of the most unique and talented bands I've come across. ...And Plauge Flowers the Kaleidoscope live! And thanks for starting with Amorphis, fantastic band!
Chorus gives me goosebumps
The singer of Amorphis, Tomi Joutsen, is really amazing guy. I've seen them live few times and funny thing is that those world class growls actually are sounding and feeling even deeper when they are performing live. Can't but love it.
Please react to Insomnium - While We Sleep
Welcome to the Melodic Death Metal community. Stay a while.
Also, Dark Tranquillity for D.
Absolutley agree with you amorphis is a combo of dirty screams and clean vocals. With that symphonic sound thrown in. I fell in love with them over I of crimson blood
Man, you have to do more Amorphis! These guys are legendary! Their songs have amazing dynamics in terms of clean melodies and harsh, raw metal sounds, and the same is true for vocals. Lyrically, quite a few of their songs are about Finnish folklore - for example, the album "Skyforger" revolves around the story of the Kalevala. They also usually blend some folk sounds into their metal, which is also a plus. You won't regret exploring more of them!
Recommended (maybe you could do more reactions?):
- Death of a King
- Silver Bride
- Under The Red Cloud
- Silent Waters
- Sky Is Mine
- Amongst Stars
Thanks for all the videos. Stay dope, and happy new year!
ne obliviscaris - and plague flowers the kaleidoscope
NeO has to happen, ANY SONG, they don't do bad music.
If you want to do another Amorphis Reaction you should checkout "Sky is mine", "come the spring" or "death of a king". Amorphis is such a great band
Come the spring is easily my favorite amorphis song. Dark path is amazing as well
@@nd1312 Come the spring and Sky is mine are my go to songs for car and train :D. Especially Come the spring seems so underrated to me
Come the Spring put tears in my eyes the first time I heard it
Hi Alex, soooo happy, that Amorphis is the letter A! Thanks again for another great review!
Wholly shit is right!!!!! My favorite finnish band!!! Thank you Alex!!! See I knew you'd love how he could go from growling to singing melody flawlessly!!! Epic af band am I right!! 🖤🖤🤘🤘
Great reaction! Amorphis is definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. There is not a band that sounds same to them. Their music is in my opinion always in perfect balance and different voices and instruments blend together really well. If you are going to revisit them some day, I would recommend you to react Her Alone live album version ft.Anneke Van Giersbergen.
Every album is awesome! Own all the cds, even the singles and EPs haha
For "D" you have to do DEVIN TOWNSEND - DEADHEAD (live at Royal Albert Hall) :)
Yes! Amazing song. Amazing live version.
Yep. Great intro to Devin, and the DTB. Universal Flame from that same show would also be a great one for Alex to do.
Agree - didn't see this but just posted the same! Artist and Track both start with D... it's a sign :P
D should be Death, T could be Townsend or S for Strapping Young Lad
Damn right the best metal comes from Finland! 🤘👍
Woah, thanks for showing me something new! These guys are awesome
Watch the videoclips to "Wrong Direction" and "Amongst Stars" by them. They'll blow you away too ;)
@@De-M-oN I checked out the videos you suggested. Thanks man. I tell you what I really like about this band is the male vocalist's growls. Man, he and lars mikael åkerfeldt of Opeth should do a duo.
Also, I like the blend of soft and metal. His cleans are very smooth. Also I like the almost Celtic overtones the guitarist slips in to some of their songs briefly. I believe that second video you suggested had a bit of that. Enjoyed it
@@plazmafield i love this band and i ve seen them in the summer that has passed. They put on a show man. Even old folks who had nothing to do this this type of music enjoyed it. Sadly they might have had a sound problem or the vocalist is a bit rusted cause his voice sounded a bit weak. However, i d totally pay another time to see them live even so. They re amazing.
Man, check out the whole "Eclipse" album (first one with Tomi). Their first song I've ever heard was "Leaves Scar" and I've been hooked ever since :)
If you don’t do Blind Guardian for B, I’ll be very upset
metalhead82891 *does black veil brides*
Oof Dude 🤢🤮
@@connorwaddell8236 LOL, the only good thing BvB has are the guitars, and still, it's not that much good. Before anything, I listened to BvB from 2009 till 2012, their 2012 album was a disaster to me.
i´m already upset he don´t react to atlantean kodex for "A" :D
@@connorwaddell8236 He did Beartooth so it's not much better lol
Be'lakor for B. From scythe To sceptre for the song from them. Keep up the good work, big up from Finland for Amorphis! ❤️ 🤘
Be'lakor rarely gets reacted to. I hope he does this!
if he does fraught or venator
I agree....Be'lacor 💖
The perfect song for metalhead beekeepers such as myself haha!!!
As a metalhead I love watching your reactions to videos. Some bands I’ve heard of but never took the time to listen to. After I’ve watched your video I usually find that artist on ITunes and download their entire discography.
Amongst Stars from this same album is a must when you come back to them. Then try their older stuff after.
Dont forget Wrong Direction :)
@@De-M-oN And Under the red cloud
@Alex Hefner
For the love of God, please do
I for
Insomnium!!!!! (While we sleep)
When he gets to I, he will do it
DO IT
Kinda hoping he goes for Iced Earth instead
I agree While we sleep would be good, but IMHO he'd enjoy Unsung!!
I really hope he does Insomnium "While We Sleep" it's a good starter, but not the live versions xD this guys drink too much before the shows lol
your reaction to this was so genuine and awesome man. keep up the great work
When I try to introduce someone to Amorphis I usualy show "The smoke" song/clip, always work ! growl and clean voice mix so good
Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror
Barathrum - Last Day In Heaven
Bat Castle - Let's Get Possessed
Black Label Society - Stillborn
Bloodbath - Eaten
Eaten!!!!
Only BLS - Stillborn acoustic version ,of course
EATEN!
Bathory?
Hot damn! Good choice man! And do the Silent Waters (obiviously) later on. Amorphis singer Tomi Joutsen is pretty awesome at producing both clean and gritty vocals so more of that to expect is you want check out more of em.
Hey Alex and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 I've seen a lot of different tubers doing reaction videos but somehow I always end up coming back to you 🤔😁 Anyway, I can't begin to tell you how proud it makes me feel, as a Finn, to see you've reacted to atleast 3 Finnish bands- which also happens to be my favorites. (Amorphis, Nightwish, Children of Bodom). Keep it up! 👏
First time Amorphis got my attention this year, became my favourite album of the year!!! Incredible from start to finish.
In flames - cloud connected, zombie inc, colony
Killswitch engage - this fire, the arms of sorrow
Lamb of god - laid to rest
Behemoth - the satanist
Heaven shall burn - endzeit
A day to remember - all i want, im made of wax larry
August burns red - meddler, ghosts
Be'lakor the smoke of many fires
I love you
It's crazy! last time I heard Amorphis probably in 2005, you reminded me about great band. It's going back to my playlist:) Same thing was with Nightwish, i stoped listen to them after Tarya living... And now the again on my daily playlist. Thanks brahh!!!
Greetings from Finland! Loved the reaction and love Amorphis! Amongst Stars is also a great track from the new album!
So pleased you found this Alex, the album is simply stunning, I’d say give the whole thing a listen, definitely a top album from 2018
Amorphis - Death of a king. You´ll love it!
Damn! I rarely hear a new band/song that I really like but this one was amazing!
I love this band, but haven't heard this song yet. I fuckin love it. This band is amazing. Thanks for covering these guys.
check out Amongst Stars from the same album, my favorite song of 2018
BROTHERS OF METAL "Prophecy of Ragnarök" or "Yggdrasil". Both are about norse mythology, both are really good. "Prophecy of Ragnarök" has the advantage of having a videoclip. One downside is that you might have to learn a bit about norse mytology to understand everything
I would go with "Yggdrasil" (which has a video clip since recent) but both are good.
So glad you reacted to this band! One of my favorite bands for many years.
Blinded colony - once bitten twice shy. Fun fact is that the singer is "Shellback", now days he makes pop music for big artist like Pink, Maroon 5, Britney spears, Backstreet boys, Adam lambert and many more.
you should also react to Amongst Stars by Amorphis
React to Opeth Ghost Of Perdition Live at the Roundhouse
I've just discovered this song of them at the same time as you, wow they still make great music! This one's so neat!
This was a new song to me, absolutely kills it.
You should do A to Ö of Finnish metal.
What's letter Ö? :D
@@raitoniemi Ööh.. There's at least a hc punk band called Ödeema :D
that will take at least this whole year to complete that list 😅
@@argieStream LOL. My home town punk band :D Went to the same school with the guys
B = *BLIND GUARDIAN - MIRROR MIRROR*
B = *BE'LAKOR - COUNTLESS SKIES*
As much as I loved Blind Guardian when I was younger, Be'lakor definitely has to come once - they are so great.
@@seenbelow I think he needs to listen to both bands, they're equally awesome but in different metal subgenres. But I agree with you, I prefer Be'lakor.
Holy fuck Be'lakor is great af
You are correct. The more awesome the metal the more rowdy your reaction looks.
Love this song. Amaaaaazing.
I first saw them as a support act for Nightwish, was blown away then. Then saw them again as a support act for Volbeat, fell in love with them even more then. Then they released Queen of Time... I haven't bought an album faster than I did after hearing just this song. It hasn't disappointed me at all! They're amazing in the studio but even better live! You should check out Amongst Stars with Anneke van Giersbergen, much calmer but
Bury Tommorow - Black Flame, pls!
He won't do it is too heavy for him.
Good stuff Hefner and Amorphis!
Finally Amorphis 🇫🇮!!!!!!!!!! Great video, great song, and great band, one of my favorites for sure.
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - this fire
Rose of Sharyn!
Luca M 😐
This fire
B?
Be'lakor: Smoke of many fires.
Yes!!! \m/
AMORPHIS is legend Bro. They start all female vocal mix and whole epic things.
Unholy damn! I didn't know Amorphis is still around. The last time I listened regularly to them was in the late 1990s. They still sound good, just a tad more melodic. *Bows in respect*
