#Be'lakor #TheSmokeofManyFires #reactionvideo
Be'lakor is one of my favorite bands. Every album is a journey.
Same with Omnium Gatherum man, both are amazing bands that sound very similar.
@@Assdafflabaff new album!!!
@@christopherblowers443 Yeah dude both bands, Be'alkor and Omnium Gatherum are both releasing new albums soon. I'm so hyped \m/
czcams.com/video/pYZQVgL84rA/video.html
try persefone đ
Every song from Be'lakor is a masterpiece ... they really deserve more attention
Forreal the band is just musical genius, they donât have a single song thatâs anything less than great. Stoneâs reach and of breathe and bone are true masterpieces and vessels is great too. Kinda wish he wouldâve done countless skies but it was still great. Good news also Beâlakorâs new album is completely finished so we should be getting new stuff very soon.
@@puppetmaster8551 The new track they just dropped is incredible!!
@@slayde7740 yup, they always deliver, I was glued to my phone waiting for the second it released and I was not disappointed. Cannot fuckin wait to hear more.
Amen
True, I can listen to pretty much all their albums entirely. My favorite is Stone's Reach :P
Whoever recommended you this, may Odin bless you.
l
@@HorstEwald Cheers mate!
Recommended it 4 months ago on multiple videos with a link for their song Venator off Stones Reach. This song will do! Itâs my second favorite from them!!
@@LockhartsPowerhouse I recommended Countless Skies. Stones Reach is probably my favorite album of theirs.
@@IvanIvanov-qx5oz thatâs awesome! I hope he keeps going down the melodic death metal road!
One of the finest Melodeath bands around, looking forward for their new album. They have much more gems for you to take a look/listen at.
Be'lakor is incredible... Check out In Mourning (The Black Lodge) and Insomnium (Winter's Gate) as well... Great melodeath bands, incredible music...
@@robertpautsch8087 Try Amorphis' Tales From the Thousand Lakes.
Is a new one in the pipes?
@@klausherbert3040 Yes sir, they are aiming to release it this year.
@@iAnimeDude uhh nice. Thanks for info
Whomever recommended this band is a living legend
This is so cool seeing this band on here.
Seriously when I saw a Beâlakor video from him I just got a big smile on my face, one of the best bands in the world regardless of genre. The bands ability as a whole as songwriters is just truly special.
I discovered Be'lakor a few months ago. They went from unknown to my most listened to band in like 24 hours.
Finally the best melodeath band has arrived! All their songs are amazing, but I'd recommend Countless Skies, From Scythe to Sceptre, Remnants, In Parting, Neither Shape Nor Shadow, or A Natural Apostasy for a deeper dive.
Countless skies and From scythe to sceptre has been my favorite tunes for over a year now :)
In Parting is a haunting piece of art.
I also really love Roots to Sever. Such an epic song over such a simple concept, and it has one of the best sections in any belakor song.
@@kvltizt
In Parting and The Dream and the Waking are the songs that really makes me feel all fuzzy
Good choice. This last album is a concept album, starting with the birth of a photon from the sun and ending with incineration to smoke of man. Great composition, interesting storytelling.
Hey, thanks for the Be'lakor reaction video! This is Steve (piano/synths) from Be'lakor. Secludja is my side-project. If you're ever interested in doing a Secludja reaction video, that would be really cool. It's not metal, but interested to see what you think! Cheers again! \m/
Also an amazing band you should check out is Agalloch, they're an amazing mix of prog, atmospheric, folk and black metal. They were truly a one of a kind band, really any songs by them are amazing but some of my favorites are Limbs and The Meloncholy Spirit. Haha sorry for all the comments I just enjoy your videos and hearing your thoughts on great music! Thanks for all the videos
i wish i could like this comment harder
Second on Limbs, but I can never listen to Limbs without Falling Snow right after
Adding a late second for this
Agalloch was the real deal.
Did not expect to see Be'lakor. Happy to see that :)
I love how often you say "I love..." Your commentary often starts with those words, which is a strong indication of what a positive perspective you have on life. It is so contagiously wholesome
Nobody does composition like melodeath and black metal. If you can get past low growling vocals, then there's a wonderful world out there. Some recommendations might be:
Moonshield - by In flames
Time - by Wintersun
Us against December Skies - by Harakiri for the Sky
Twilight of the Thunder God, - by Amon Amarth
Mortal Share - by Insomnium
Spirit of the North, by Eldamar
Good jammin' people :)
Thanks for that list, I'll check them out.
My favorite band of all time! Thank you for blessing us with your reaction.
Never heard of this band now they have a new fan
Shaun
@@stoickris yes
Check out stone's reach. Hands down a legendary album
Did you listen to their stuff yet? if not youâve got to listen to the album stoneâs reach and of breathe and bone, true masterpieces imo. The song above he did is great and imo is still worse than every song on those 2 album. Theyâre very special songwriters and their composition skills are so good. Good news is they have just completely finished their new album as well so we should be getting another one soon. Great time to becomes a fan because itâs usually like 5 years in between albums.
@@shmelvinjoestar3586 of breathe and bone too, I think that and stoneâs reach are both perfect albums and masterpieces. Wish he wouldâve done something like countless skies but still awesome watching him so Beâlakor.
Not a single bad Song by this Band.
hooray for more Aussie bands!
speaking of:
The Butterfly Effect - Aisles of White
Carnivool !
@@interdimensional115 *Karnivool
Be'lakor!! My man key bringing us the good stuff :D
edit: i'd love to hear you react to 'Dissection - Thorns of crimson death' if you want to delve into some melodic black metal!
You're right about this song being a journey. In fact it's the end of a concept album's story journey. You nailed it when you acknowledged that within the composition. Thanks for bringing this song to us. It might not be their best one, but for sure one of the better ones. Glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
Never heard this song before, I was pleasantly surprised I must admit. Have you ever heard of "Edge of Sanity"? They have an album that is a 40-minute long journey and the music is not that far apart. Check out "Crimson" (part 1 is best imo)đ€
@@TheHeadown or Wintersun's "The Forest Seasons" - again a full album consisting of 4 songs representing the 4 seasons. A journey story- and musicwise as well. There's plenty of awesome stuff out there.
@@Agarwaen06 I agree, and itÂŽs always a good thing to recommend and/or share ideas.
Beâlakor is so good that this song is probably one of my least favorite from them and itâs still fantastic, such a great band and it brought me great joy seeing him do a song of theirs.
@@TheHeadown Edge of Sanity is such an underrated gem and Crimson is truly incredible.
BeâLakor is badass
Not a band I'm familiar with, but I'm liking what I'm hearing
Abeyance by them is amazing.
Take a deep breath and dive in, you will no regret it ;)
Listen to their albums stoneâs reach and of breathe and bone, theyâre both perfect albums and masterpieces, some of the best metal albums ever imo, hell theyâre just some of the best albums Iâve ever heard in any genre.
Be'lakor
be'lakor has been one of my favourite melodeth bands since i was 11 years old back when they were only locally known in the town where i grew up they sparked my interest in melodeth in general
I once heard this song when I had left my youtube on play and fell asleep. I woke up to this massive track playing and it really changed my standards for all melodeath ever since. Their song are absolutely powerful and very unique. It's amazing how more people don't know about this band, their music is simply stunning.
Literally one of my favorite songs of all time. Love your analysis and breakdown. Keep it up my friend. Cheers
I cant believe you actually reacted to Beâlakor! Thats insane dude, thanks for doing this đ€đ»
One of the best bands in melodic death metal. Excellent choice.
Be'lakor is one of the best melodeath bands today. Great to see you reacting to them. This song is a great one. I also highly recommend their song "In Parting". I always get chills every time I listen to that one.
Great track, going to be listening to this band now!
Putting a few things here:
Agalloch - Into the Painted Grey
Tengger Cavalry - Lone Wolf
If you're looking for more Mudvayne (since I'm watching that video right now)- Mercy, Severity is one of my favorites!
Favorite band of all time... all their albums are absolute masterpieces, with a new one on the way no less!!!
I normally donât like to watch videos of peopleâs reactions to stuff, but Beâlakor is one of my favorite melodeath bands out there and this album/song is deep. That being said, I enjoyed how you analyzed this masterpiece, so congratulations on your perception upon first listen
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
Recommended multiple times for him to do Their song Venator off of Stones Reach! This song will do! Itâs my second favorite from them!!
How is this your second favorite when Stone's Reach has 7 others? ;)
@@tydendurler9574 I know đ
Legit the best album
Be'lakor !!! "From Scythe To Sceptre" is my favorite song!
my favourite song by my favourite band - so cool to see you not only analyzing it from a musical standpoint but just enjoying it too.
Try Ember's Arc next. Also by Be'lakor. You'll love it. Or anything off of Amon Amarth's The Avenger.
I hope you do a video on Voivod if you haven't already. Or, The Edge of Eternity titletrack by Hexenhaus.
Be'Lakor - I haven't heard this band for a damn long time. Huge thanks for bringing this back into my memory!
YES! Love the metal breakdowns Geebz.
My suggestion for a mellow metal dissection is Snow Sleep by Kardashev. The vocalist is a stand out in that he goes from cathedral-like cleans to signature heavy growls. It's quite a composition. Thanks again!
This particular song (AMAZING songwriting and musicianship) really opened me up to the world of melodic Death Metal
Dude itâs awesome the way youâre delving into these bands that arenât mainstream. There is literally no end to the greatness thatâs out there. Iâve been obsessively trying to keep up with bands new and old for the last 15 years and I can still find new ones every day that blow me away. So enjoy the journey and Iâll look forward to seeing what bands people suggest to you and what you might think of them! Keep up the great reviews!
Excited about this one! An Embers arc is my favorite by them. The Intro and outro are really something else đđ»
And Withering Strands! Honestly, the whole album is great.
18:51 This is why I love your reactions - you actually enjoy music. You know it and you appreciate it on different levels. You knew you wanted a smooth transition and you got it and instantly was into it !
Wow, I was shocked to see you doing them, ive been a big fan for quite awhile. Very talented group.
Now THIS is something I just HAVE to see!
And I recommend again: Diablo Swing Orchestra
Stumbled across this channel as a recommendation below a Septicflesh concert I was enjoying for the nth time. Thought, âI wonder what this guy thinks of SFâ and was surprised with the reaction and analysis.
Really liked the openness and enthusiasm. Been going back through the videos bit by bit and finally came across this one. Excellent choice. BeâLakor is usually a reflexive response when someone asks me my favorite band. This track is the closing chapter of a concept album, highly suggest starting from the beginning (and read lyrics if you donât have an ear for it yet) if you havenât already. Brilliant.
Thanks for your perspective.
Would love to see you check out Cult of Luna! Awesome video, love Beâlakor!
Omg I'm so excited for thisđđ thank you for taking the suggestion! (maybe you saw it in a previous video?) Still very excited for this!!! â€ïž
Be'lakor has been around for a long time and i had never seen a single dissection video regarding any of their songs. I love the album choices that are currently being considered for your dissection videos. There are not many videos on CZcams that dissect Metal genre songs. In my opinion this is a huge open market for such videos and you are doing such a wonderful job.
You helped me gain yet another snippet of information on why i like this genre in your very own professional decomposer way. I know there is a lot of complex mathematical timings and signatures in Metal genre songs. They are beautiful and at the same time very powerful. I personally wish to learn exactly why i love it so much. The journey into the discovery of the many sub-genres of Metal is an adventure and the journey into learning exactly why we love it so much is another adventure on its own. I know it may sound cliche but: Metal is Forever! Thank you for doing what you do sir.
Fraught and The Dream and the Waking are two great songs I like by them
Holy shit, thanks duder!
More Opeth please.
love seeing someone else enjoying belakor. awesome band indeed
Here's something for change: El-P
It's rap, but it's out of the ordinary. The production is wild.
I just checked his music shortly ...thats unique stuff. I will start a little journey now and thanks for the hint. Gruss aus Schleswig-Holstein!
@@erikmetalhead9191 And a journey it's going to be! :D
I would suggest I'll Sleep When You're Dead and Cannibal Ox' The Cold Vein to start with.
The latter is not him rapping (he's featured tho) but it's produced by him in it's entirety and it's considered on of the best rap albums of all time. And since you're a metalhead - the track 'pigeon' has some nice guitar woven into the beat.
El-P is a maniac! He has produced so much gems over the years.
Company Flow (a group; more monotone, super dark)
Def Jux: An indie-label started by El-P featuring many interesting artists and El would often produce their tracks.
Fantastic Damage: His first album. Which is just brutal, like... bleak, dystopian sound scapes.
Wereallgoingburninhell Megamixxx 1-3: Mostly beats, all are worth the time
Nowadays he works with Killa Mike as a duo called Run The Jewels. The music is more mainstream, more aproachable
GrĂŒĂe aus Berlin
I was depressed when after I found Opeth, I thought Iâd never find a band as unique and beautiful as them. Then comes Belakor, instantly becomes one of my favorite band of all time, pretty much my second after Opeth.
Menacing, beautiful, haunting, uplifting absolutely, unique melodic death metal. Best genre of metal, and best band from that genre.
I appreciate your energy, sense of humor, and description of the music. Love your channel sir! đȘ
Ok Geebz, since you did Be'Lakor i think Insomnium is a MUST now! i'd recommend While We Sleep or Pale Morning Star
Song of the blackest bird is their masterpiece
I love watching his face as he struggles with wanting to pause and talk about something cool and wanting to keep listening to the new cool things
Thanks to who suggested this song. It was the great example of something different
I love this song! I was so surprised to see this on your list, awesome!!! I cracked up when you said you don't just sit there and say hey let's write a song and it goes like this, just a genuinely funny moment
Thanks for a great pick, never heard them before, really enjoyed it.
If there was one song in the whole damn world that I would choose for your to react to, this would probably be it. I'm a happy camper.
Be'lakor is the name of a Daemon from the fantasy setting of Warhammer, I have just checked and the band named themselves after him!
Quite true, but not from the fantasy version, i think. I've only heard of him in terms of warhammer 40k, where he was once the only greater demon to basically serve all 4 major chaos gods. He's quite cool, he has a big ass sword that essentially cuts through everything by being able to alternate between multiple states of matter simultaneously. An interesting character.
@@COBfan1996 He is in the Fantasy universe too, they have just released a new model a few weeks ago now.
How about that. Never heard of this before, and now I'm very interested.
Thanks, Geebz!
So great to see a big channel like yours do Beâlakor, one of the most underrated or I should say under the radar band in the world, everyone whoâs into this time of music knows theyâre incredible. Highly recommend checking more of their work out, their albums stoneâs reach and of breathe and bone are masterpieces. You should someday do a video for their song countless skies, I think youâd love it, all sorts of cool stuff in there and itâs even better then this stuff. Anyway great video like always man, made me happy seeing Beâlakor here.
HOLY shit what a great song! Good Job Be lakor!
This song is amazing! Definetly my favorite from them. Thanks for great analysis.
I love this channel, not only for sharing your expertise with us, but I also find new bands like this.
Melodic Metal is the new Baroque
This album is great. The way the music changes with every line of the lyrics its amazing. Interesting concept about life and death in the universe.
Patient enough to appreciate the song. Humble enough not to judge it. Liked and subscribed.
Absolutely awesome! Adding this one to my collection!
Jeah, Be'Lakor! Love your deconstruction of theme and composition!
New bands? Composition and melody? Musical journey? Please listen to:
Shylmagoghnar - Transience
Persefone - Prison Skin
Keep Rockin \m/
Omg I have waited for this so long! One of my top favorite bands in history. And speaking of history, this album is an amazing journey that you could revisit. First track starts with the birth of our sun, last track ends with a human meeting its end in flames to rejoin the stars. There's a lot of small details in Be'Lakors tracks and lyrics. An Embers Arch's last tone is at 8.20 - the time it takes for light to travel from the sun to earth, which is the story of that song. Next song brings life to the planet and the story goes on from there.
I love this band, it always remind's me of Edge of Sanity
EoS definitely had a proto-melodic death metal going on but with lots of proggy stuff layered in. Underrated band.
this band has some amazing music!
"Fraught" or "Neither Shape Nor Shadow" by Be'lakor next please.
I am the Mountain - Stoned Jesus
It is going to blow your mind for its power in simplicity
another great band with an amazing drummer is Ne Obliviscaris. check out their song Forget Not.
This song is awesome. Nice history, nice ambience, perfect music composition. Be'lakor is one of the best death melodic bands
Ooohh, unexpected band!
OH MY GOD! it is heaven on earth!!! MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!!!! MANY MANY MORE FROM THEM! sorry - just excited. :)
Their song Countless Skies inspired the band Countless Skies and both are a treat similar to this song. Melodeath has a special place in my heart I gotta admit but I recommend both the song and the band for further listening.
This is the genre I thought you'd most connect with, melodeath. However, this song would not have been my first choice to hearing Be'lakor for the first time. This is the ending to an epic concept album and without lyrical context you are only getting about 50% of what this song has to offer. This album would be a great one listen to after a gummy bear or two and just chill and read the lyrics along to the music. For the first time listen of Be'lakor I would have recommended anything off of the Venator or Abeyance album. Both IMO are the best examples of melodeath that aren't apart of some massive concept album. I get it, "BuT tHiS iS mUh FaZoRiTe!!!" I feel like when people recommend music, they don't take into account all the little details and recommend something that should have been built up to.
Should really look into Earthborn Evolution by Beyond Creation
Some great tech death, Human Murmuration by Archspire
Yes! Earthborn Evolution is an absolute masterpiece.
Anything by Archspire would be awesome for a reaction.
We should get him on Necrophagist.
A Dark Horizontal tho
The shades of Edge of Sanity this track has make me smile. I'd love to hear him do a breakdown of Crimson, but a 40 minute song might be a bit much lmao
Would love that. It would probably be a 2 hour video. Lol
Thanks for reacting to Be'lakor! They've been on the top of my favourites list for years now.. I hope you'll give them another go some time. I'm an old classical musician and I love Be'lakor's compositions, their haunting guitar duets, etc.
14:45 love that smile when the bass line starts moving :)
Be'Lakor is one of my favourite bands. Many of their songs make me think of birds flying and circling in the sun.
Thank you for providing your insights into this band :)
Really enjoyed this reaction! One of my favorite songs of the last couple years, just heard Be'lakor for the first time in 2019. I am pumped for their new album!
Be'lakor is my top top melodeath band they're absolutely amazing especially the stone's reach â€ïžâ€ïž
Haha I've been recommending this and you actually have a video on it. I will quit hounding you now LOL
I had the same facial expressions the first time I heard Be'Lakor. Even after hundereds of replays this song still keeps my eyes wide in wonderment.
One of the greats of Metal â„ïž
Very smart music, they are undeniably talented without a doubt
these guys are melodic death metal, but they are part of what I see as a 2nd wave of melodeath bands that have more atmospheric and prog leanings in their songs e.g. Insomnium
I agree. 1st wave MDM is more like AtG, In Flames, DT, early Amon Amarth, early Amorphis, etc while 2nd wave is more melodic.
Just my favorite band !!!
I literally told myself I'm putting Belakor on the way to work this morning!!
One of my very favorite bands.
Suggestion of other Aussie band: Jester by The Stranger. GO Geebz love you videos man!
Please do a video for Streetlight Manifesto. Either ""We Will Fall Together." Or "What A Wicked Gang Are We." As a Composer (who I respect, I do puppet/magic stuff for kids, too. So I donated) You will love it.
Oh man finally someone agrees on my music taste
Belakor is amazing, and Vessels album is a masterpiece
Maybe Imperial Triumphant - City Swine?, sometime. More odd things to people to hear đ đ€đ»
Thanks for introducing a new band Geebz!
If youre looking to do some not-so-popular bands, I highly recommend you dig into The Meaning Of from Western Australia. I would recommend either 'flow' or 'doing life' from their first album, or 'Alive' from their latest.
Have a ripper day mate!
