3:28 The smile the girl with the cello has. Must be so much fun for classical musicians to do these types of gigs. Just like BMTHs Royal Albert live show
I've thought about this but a part of me hopes that they came to an agreement that they wouldn't take away the independence of Sylosis by having Josh input vocals for Architects
The Parallax Orchestra's composer is Simon Dobson. The same orchestra also performed with BMTH and Alter Bridge at their respective Royal Albert Hall concerts
That was the first thing I thought when I heard this too. His vocals on albums don't have much variety in my opinion. To add in lows would bring their music to another level.
@@widexawake_ lemme save you from disappointment, there aren't any old songs, it's specifically For Those That Wish To Exist recorded live with an orchestra
@@wolfy_with_a_y How am I spreading hate? I don't like the album, but am I telling other people NOT to listen to it. You do you bro, but don't act superior while putting words in my mouth. You absolute yoghurt
Now I really want the next album to have more symphonic elements, goddamn this is so fucking good, imagine Architects if they took some symphonic elements from bands like Dimmu Borgir and Fleshgod Apocalypse, I wouldn't say this is a reimagining either, rather it's a addition to what was already there and it's great, also Sam should definitely do some more lows because they work so well in contrast with his high screams, I know he did lows in the past but in recent years they've sort of faded away, it'd be great to see them back
And then, when we wanted them most, they replaced the orchestral moments with the electronic moments. This isn’t to say that the classic symptoms of a broken spirit is bad, it just wasn’t what we were expecting.
What I find really fucking cool is the drums are exactly the same as they were in the original track. And for a live version, what a fucking drum tech.
This is giving me massive Metallica S&M vibes. I remember my dad was so crazy about it he recorded it when they showed it live on tv….in 1999. More metal bands should do stuff like this, it really puts an epic spin on their music.
This whole show was an experience, re watched it a ton of times on veeps. Really made me love some of the songs on the album that i dont initially really like. Glad they finally will release it as an album
This is incredible! It's performed exactly like they do it at live shows (or at least at the gig I saw them at) and it's just incredible. Sam really shows off his range with the cleans and those lows!
It's almost criminal how little there is metal musicians that include some classical music in their songs. I know that bands like Apocalyptica but I need more.
Architects knows how to make a good symphonic/ Cinematic metal song, knowing how to balance the guitars with the orchestral instruments is really hard. Love it 🤘🔥 From a not so professional metal artist and orchestra member 10/10
Nik's joy at the music is how I feel at concerts smiling like a fool enjoying the entire sensation of a concert, the people, the music, the vibrations, the sights ugh its so amazing
That whole show was sooo epic. I watched that stream 5 times. Can't wait for the whole thing to be released soon. After hearing this I just can't listen to the original album versions anymore. Still good, but they just are missing something now.
I don’t know if you have already done videos on this band, but an older EP from In Fear & Faith (i’m pretty sure it was called Symphonies) was pure orchestral with screaming and great guest vocals from vocalists that we all know and love.
Love it especially the bells. 🔔 Pre-order incomin, this will be epic! My favorite tune to get started in the day since a week is The Last Ten Seconds of Life.
Dude this whole livestream was incredible and I'm so glad they're releasing it as an album. Hearing Dead Butterflies with the trumpets + full orchestra is next level.
I'm so happy for josh middleton such an amazing musician has a great income for being in architects even if sylosis still his band and his core music still glad he can manage both
Sam is such great vocalist. Damn. Did you hear the track he done with Masayoshi Soken for the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV which has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime? If not, check out the Final Fantasy 14 - Endwalker single
Hi Nik, would you check out the band Bloodywood with "Aaj"? I have found them on my Spotify release radar and was kind of: " oh wow, that's new! Would be interesting to see Nik's reaction".
Can’t wait to see them in May, London Ally pally sold out it’s going to be so sick 😍 also Sleep token just got added to the gig as support,another band who I’ve desperately wanted to see
*Smash like for orchestral bleghs*
Ooo Bleighmaphone?? Nice.
I would like to listen this intro or whatever in some movies or something like this.
YOU GOT ME!
3:28 The smile the girl with the cello has. Must be so much fun for classical musicians to do these types of gigs. Just like BMTHs Royal Albert live show
omg that show was amaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzing. I will never not get chills when I hear the choir intro to Shadow Moses.
They are the same orchestra btw
I played violin for 10 years and it was my dream to be in an orchestra doing this type of thing. I don’t play anymore, but I’d still love to!
Yeah she must have been enjoying that breakdown (and the whole thing) so much :D
Sam's voice is just on such a different level. It's honestly awe inspiring.
You're not wrong.
He needs to use that low more often in studio recording
I’m sure he’s worked a lot on it over the years so he just keeps getting better.
I genuinely think it all came from genuine emotion when everything happened with the band. The death brought this band onto a whole different level.
mixed notes extreme vox
I love how they made everything completely live. No backing tracks or synth at all.
It'S a sin to do that at Abbey Road.
I think that's why they're all smiling at the end thinking "Oh yeah we did it! "
You would be surprise
With all the orchestra in the background of breakdown it almost feels like a horror movie sequence its cool
It is just straight up boss music!
@@toastermon2272 that aswell
It gave me instant Terminator vibes. I think it must've been the horn.
@@Quusikko ahh such an epic tune
I've thought about this but a part of me hopes that they came to an agreement that they wouldn't take away the independence of Sylosis by having Josh input vocals for Architects
They have to utilise Josh on vocals more, hes such a force.
I think they should explore some screams from him too... It'd be awesome
Agreed
Thank you
And on 🎸 🎸... imagine architects with solo, I would pay a lot for hearing this lol
That breakdown should've been with him on vocals.. it would fit so perfectly, missed opportunity
1. Whoever arranged this is a GOD
2. Imagine going to college for a performance degree and you end up doing this. EPIC.
The Parallax Orchestra's composer is Simon Dobson. The same orchestra also performed with BMTH and Alter Bridge at their respective Royal Albert Hall concerts
I arranged it.
@@peacekidxxx holy shit, the man himself!
@@peacekidxxx Awesome to see you here. Did a FAT job.
Which means great by the way.
@@peacekidxxx well, you did an amazing job. I’m gonna have to check out your other stuff!
Damnn why doesn't Sam do more lows he sounds like an entirely different person and it sounds sick.
His lows may be even better than his mids
I don't think Architects is *missing* anything by not having Sam's lows, but honestly yeah, I wouldn't mind hearing them on an album whatsoever.
That was the first thing I thought when I heard this too. His vocals on albums don't have much variety in my opinion. To add in lows would bring their music to another level.
@@x0scimy0x agree, it's not that they're _missing_ something...
they're _ADDING_ something
One of the few people who sound even better live than the studio recordings.
I went to their 2019 show in Anaheim with Thy Art Is Murder and While She Sleeps as support. I can testify that you are 100 percent correct
"We're all players in a symphony
That fights against impermanence" hits different
The whole orchestra live record will be great!
I hope they've sprinkled a few old songs in this recording because the new album bored the fuck out of me.
@@widexawake_ lemme save you from disappointment, there aren't any old songs, it's specifically For Those That Wish To Exist recorded live with an orchestra
@@wolfy_with_a_y That's fair. Anything to repackage and resell haha
@@widexawake_ to be honest, i love the album, so i disagree, but i just don't wanna see somebody who doesn't like it spread any more hate about it
@@wolfy_with_a_y How am I spreading hate? I don't like the album, but am I telling other people NOT to listen to it. You do you bro, but don't act superior while putting words in my mouth. You absolute yoghurt
Sam vocals were on another level!
Screams, Cleans, Lows whatever he killed it !!
Now I really want the next album to have more symphonic elements, goddamn this is so fucking good, imagine Architects if they took some symphonic elements from bands like Dimmu Borgir and Fleshgod Apocalypse, I wouldn't say this is a reimagining either, rather it's a addition to what was already there and it's great, also Sam should definitely do some more lows because they work so well in contrast with his high screams, I know he did lows in the past but in recent years they've sort of faded away, it'd be great to see them back
In Holy Hell they had a lot of orchestra elements!
And then, when we wanted them most, they replaced the orchestral moments with the electronic moments. This isn’t to say that the classic symptoms of a broken spirit is bad, it just wasn’t what we were expecting.
In hindsight, the whole album was probably written for exactly this scenario, it just sounds spot on.
What I find really fucking cool is the drums are exactly the same as they were in the original track. And for a live version, what a fucking drum tech.
As a violist, THANK YOU Nik, for mentioning the violas at 2:36 because they are always forgotten about.
Love to see all the musicians smiling as the song progresses
My dreams were crushed when THERE WAS NO BLEGH. You're damn THUMBNAIL GOT ME!!! hahahahh gg Nik... gg.
great video dude.
The girl smiling at 3:28.. Love that she was so into it
Sam needs to use his lows more. They're DEEP. Also, I like this version better than the OG. I love Parkway, but damn.
This is my favorite song from the newest album
This was my favorite song off the album and this live rendition just makes it so much better. I got chills at this masterpiece.
This whole show was amazing. I'm looking forward to getting the LP/CD of it when it comes out.
This breakdown was everything. Sam crushed those lows and the orchestra really just brought this album to a whole other level.
Josh’s back vocals are so damn good. They should give him an opportunity to show his vocal skills more often.
This is giving me massive Metallica S&M vibes. I remember my dad was so crazy about it he recorded it when they showed it live on tv….in 1999. More metal bands should do stuff like this, it really puts an epic spin on their music.
There is a whole genre called symphonic metal started by a band called Therion
METAL + ORCHESTRA = MASTERPIECE
The orchestra is having so much fun. How often do they get to do breakdowns hahaha
Damnn... Sam's voice is sooo epic 🤘
Is nobody gonna talk about how Sam literally carbon copied Winston’s voice like that???? Holy shit Sam is gifted.
The breakdown is like sam's best Winston impression.
This whole show was an experience, re watched it a ton of times on veeps. Really made me love some of the songs on the album that i dont initially really like. Glad they finally will release it as an album
The addition of the orchestra takes a great song to a higher level. I always love when bands use orchestras. Beautiful song!
This was absolutely incredible. goosebumps. I loved when Thrice did something similar back in the day.
The fact that Josh Middleton from Sylosis is just chilling playing guitar n as a backup singer for Architects makes it even more impressing 😅
Always love a metal and orchestra collab...need more of this stuff.
You know Metal/heavy music was inspired by classical music. The two are a Match Made In Heaven.
@@aoallan8049 Did you just Meteor one of the Architects songs? Because from the Hereafter, metaphor = Meteor. :)
Love the transition between the scream, head voice, chest voice, then down to the falsetto. Sam is a beast.
Can we all agree that Sam has amazing screams?
👍
This is incredible! It's performed exactly like they do it at live shows (or at least at the gig I saw them at) and it's just incredible. Sam really shows off his range with the cleans and those lows!
It's almost criminal how little there is metal musicians that include some classical music in their songs. I know that bands like Apocalyptica but I need more.
...wow...where do you think metal came from...?...
@@dericanslum1696 From the Devil of course ;^)
I’m glad to see Dan looking so happy recording this :)
One of the current British metal bands. Incredible live, I can't wait for their upcoming tour.
I love Sam's deep screaming so much! He doesn't do it very often, but its so amazing.
The whole album was recorded here and streamed a while ago. The CD and Vinyl is up for preorder now.
Orchestral versions are typically an elevated version. Love it! And I'm glad Sam went deeper for Winston's part
Absolutely insane and incredibly beautiful! We need the whole album front to back with this orchestral perfection
man this mix is so good. the musicians are incredible too.
Architects knows how to make a good symphonic/ Cinematic metal song, knowing how to balance the guitars with the orchestral instruments is really hard. Love it 🤘🔥
From a not so professional metal artist and orchestra member 10/10

I saw this whole show in the concert stream in december. The orchestra really gives those songs another depth.
"We're getting horn-y in the back there" - nick 2022 😭
Whoever arranged the orchestra needs a raise... IDK if they're making all the money ever... They need a raise.
Me
@@peacekidxxx maximum respect
Loved the concert, cant wait to finally be able to listen to it on Spotify
love the heaviness and artistry
he sound the fucking same in the recordings and live! epic af!! absolutely loved his vocals in this one.
That whole show was sooo epic. I watched that stream 5 times. Can't wait for the whole thing to be released soon. After hearing this I just can't listen to the original album versions anymore. Still good, but they just are missing something now.
This vocal performance is amazing
that bell sounds never fail sends shiver down my spine
The whole concert was incredible, really hope they release it.
WOW!!!!, my first time listening to Architects and I´m blown away!! The bells on that breakdown gave me chills! lol
I love how near the end you can see the drummer just grinning, because he knows this is the take
I need all my metalcore mixed with a full orchestral band for now on. That was amazing.
I don’t know if you have already done videos on this band, but an older EP from In Fear & Faith (i’m pretty sure it was called Symphonies) was pure orchestral with screaming and great guest vocals from vocalists that we all know and love.
Fuckk I gotta see Architects again, impermanence was amazing live and this is fucking brilliant
Love it especially the bells. 🔔 Pre-order incomin, this will be epic! My favorite tune to get started in the day since a week is The Last Ten Seconds of Life.
That is so crazy to think that was live!
Amazing!
One of the underrated songs that's an absolute banger!
One of my top songs from Architects
Watched the stream of this version of the album... it's sooooooo good. Every song is amazing with the full orchestra
screaming and crying bc nik acknowledged the violas ;-; we never get any love
3:27.... yessss, that, is amazing.
Yessssssss. Excited for this reaction.
Dude this whole livestream was incredible and I'm so glad they're releasing it as an album. Hearing Dead Butterflies with the trumpets + full orchestra is next level.
Even the blonde at 3:27-3:28 is like oh this is tight. I feel cool this is cool. Now I'm a fan.
Sam doing Winston was the incredible
seeing dan smiling towards the end of the video got me emotional af
god tier music right here, gives me fucking GOOSEBUMPS every single time
I started listening to them only 2 years ago. I need to see them live
that was so awesome man. orchestra breakdown. It needs to be a thing
This is why I love metal. We making orchestra great again 🤘🏽🔥.
The whole album with the orchestra is insane.
I want them to make an album like this.
Hi Nik
All the instruments added so much to the whole song, especially the breakdown!
Sam vocals was amazing and this song so emotional
Seen the whole live stream. My favourite is "Little Wonder". It works so well with the orchestral setting.
I'm so glad I came across this band and I enjoyed your breakdown man
This song is the perfect amount of awesomely fun and over the top. Its great
I'm so happy for josh middleton such an amazing musician has a great income for being in architects even if sylosis still his band and his core music still glad he can manage both
It sounds Amazing!! 🔥
It's awesome. Would be even cooler if Winston McCall was there too!
Jesus..... This was incredible that orchestra really adds so much! Also Impermanence was the name of my finishing move!
I like this version so much more than the original, the orchestra and added vocals just elevate it so much!
Architects, the next Original Motion Soundtrack for an entire movie, perfectly deserved if that happens 🙌
second time hearing this version, second time official goosebumps. this is on another level.
I watched this whole streaming concert. It was SO 👏DAMN 👏GOOD👏
His voice goes so growly and guttural I love this song!
Reaction video made me watch this masterpiece over again
Sam is such great vocalist. Damn.
