@@sVieira151Facing the sometimes darkness and, if necessary, becoming it. Embracing the rage when it's warranted. Accepting and valuing raw emotions, all of them not just the shallow faux facades many hide behind. Facing up and not backing down. Appreciating the beauty in brutality AND the brutality in the beautiful. IMO anyways. The thing above all is rejoicing in excellence and the individual experience while joining in the similarities. This is why I personally have an issue with the "elitist" attitude and don't consider that attitude metal though it's subject often is. Purple is metal. Dio is metal. The Irons are metal. RATM are metal. Ot3p is metal. Jinjer are metal. Nightwish are metal. Lorna are metal. Opeth are metal. Dream Theatre are metal. Sleep Token are metal. Taylor Swift is not metal.
For me, metal and subgenres have always been about accepting the flaws of life and humanity. Growing up as an emokid, listening to mostly music about difficult emotions, whether that was anger in deathcore, political commentary or depression in emo, it was just all very different from pop at the time. Pop has changed a bit since and people overall value deeper lyrics now, but back then? 50 cent rapping about hoes and cars, britney spears and the other popgirls singing meaningless songs while portrayed as sex objects. The very essence of metal and/or alternative music is to be REAL. It's not strange that metal bands did all they could to differ themselves from pop back then. But now, emotional vulnurability and individuality is celebrated in pop, rap, r&b and what have you, so to me the evolution of metal mixing in genres that we historically have deemed "guilty pleasures" feels so good, and natural. Man I remember people shitting on us emokids for not being TOUGH enough, so clearly there were some issues in the metal scene too. OH and some swedish singers of metal bands have admitted that they wanted to sing opera but they were afraid of getting bullied for it so they went with metal instead. Singer of Hammerfall (power metal) is an example of that. Now power metal is deemed pretty dorky too so guy can't win, until now, hope he goes on to write an opera. Metal purists are a dying breed, as they should be.
One of my favourite bands (you won't be surprised but I'm also a big Sleep Token and Spiritbox fan). Other songs that are great: Dethrone - for the heavier side. Like A Villain - just a banger. Just Pretend - for their softer side.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers If you listen to dethrone, please listen to the live performance uploaded by Sumerian Records. Its widely considered the better version
I love this band. They are even better live! Fun fact: the melody for TDOPOM was created during the pandemic, when Noah plugged various sounds from his home, such as keys, the stove igniter, his roommate’s dog, and a funky, metal wall decoration, into logicpro. It’s so crazy to hear! My absolute favorite is Like A Villian. In the second verse, the note he hits on the word “page” and then again on “stayed” is the most perfect note I’ve ever heard. I also love Limits and IDWT$. Enjoy!!!
So now you discovered my two favorite vocalists ever : Vessel (Sleep Token) and Noah (Bad Omens). I love them with all my heart and, like for Vessel, I'll just tell you : Noah sounds even better live, it's actually INSANE.
I'm also a silver fox (54) and I grew up with early Trash, Black and Classic Metal. But, I'm old enough to have been expose to Prog Rock like Yes, Genesis and King Crimson. Also, I saw the birth of the Trip Hop scene with Portishead and Massive Attack. My dad introduced me to Nina Simone, Etta James and all the great Blues musicians. It's amazing to me to hear new bands like Bad Omens, Sleep Token, Ghost, etc... and realise that they all incorporate in their music some of the same stuff that I was listening to 40+ years ago. Music has no boundaries and is the best way to unite people of different backgrounds. I didn't know Bad Omens but I'll explore them for sure. Thanks!
There’s definitely a little something on there but not to his detriment. The vessel from ST does it too, it feels like an arrangement choice above all else but I have no doubt they are both fantastic live
@SoulSingerDiscovers absolutely this. I have seen them live and you can definitely tell when there is a vocal effect added, but it is a stylistic choice, not a crutch. He's a pretty amazing vocalist.
I'm 55. 5 😂 I'm in luv with Bad Omens Noah voice is just my heart, I saw them with Bmth in Liverpool in Jan took my daughter her first concert, can I just say best night was had,n Noah voice was outstanding, Most were there for Bmth hmmmm as much as I do luv them it was Bad Omens for me so many songs you could listen to... Enjoy
Another great modern band that has been very impressive! Noah is very versatile and I like how most of their songs sound extremely unique while maintaining the elements that make them feel like a Bad Omens song.
I’m a middle child lol, somewhere between the silvers and the cubs, approaching 49. LOVE Bad Omens. They are definitely based in metal, in my opinion. Some of their older stuff is a bit on heavier side, while the most recent releases have more electronic elements and production. Check out Dethrone, which is my fave (a slightly older song from their 2019 album Finding God Before God Finds Me. From the more recent album The Death of Peace of Mind, I think you’d like Artificial $uicide, or their big hit Like A Villain. Their most recent release is even more of a departure from metal, V.A.N. features vocals from Poppy, and Noah does not sing on the studio version (though there is a live version where he sings as well). I’m not a big fan of pigeonholing music into specific genres, and the whole debate about what qualifies as “metal” feels a bit like gatekeeping. I prefer to be open minded and listen to what is attractive to me, what moves me, what fits my mood. Some days that’s Sleep Token or Bad Omens, or Bring Me the Horizon. Some days it’s Ice Nine Kills or Motionless in White or Knocked Loose. And other days I’m feeling nostalgic and it’s back to 80’s Metallica, or 90s grunge, or 2000s numetal. Who knows where my Spotify playlist will take me next? Just enjoy what you like and let others do the same.
Oh Jennifer!! Why must it always be the middle child that speaks the most sense 😂 I concur. Live and let live. Art is for everyone but not all art is for everyone, you know? Thanks for watching 😊
Silver fox here... I fell in love with this song/band the first time I heard this. What blew my F'ing mind was when I found out there is only one vocalist. Noah is a beast! Like A Villain and Just Pretend are also very good songs!
'The Grey' and 'Nowhere to Go' is one of my favs by Bad Omens, but i am a Bad Omens lover so you can't really go wrong. Noah and his vocals are so good that any song he is on is just perfection.
When I started listening to Sleep Token on my Pandora, this band was suggested and I wasn’t mad about it. Also discovered Spirt Box recently because of that station
There seems to be a surge in a sort of dark electo-pop type heavy music in the last few years, and I'm here for it. In my opinion, you can do heavy by being aggressive, or by being dirge-y, or anything in between. The impact is what makes it heavy, I say. Great stuff and a great reaction!
Yeah I’m really excited by it. I think it’s weird cos I would definitely have said I completely prefer this alast year but I think I love both this AND the grungier stuff like Slayer, and CD. Weird. Thanks again Nathan 😊💜
As far as Bad Omens goes, Nowhere To Go or The Grey are my two favorites from The Death of Peace of Mind. Also love Just Pretend. I also want to suggest a band you haven't listened to yet who have a ridiculously talented singer, and that is Fit for an Autopsy. Specifically a song from their album Oh What The Future Holds, and that song is In Shadows. The whole album is fucking incredible start to finish, but In Shadows shows off how talented Joe Bad is. His voice has such versatility in the distortions he uses, and has clean-er sections that he does using some layering that just are so very good. Check them out.
Silver Fox here!! I’m only 41…. I greyed hella early. But I was introduced to Metallica in the early 90’s. Right in the middle of it all!! I can say we’ve come a long way since the beginning of Metal. I can’t wait for the next 30 years of Metal and where it goes
I’m silver. The rest is debatable. I personally wouldn’t classify Bad Omens as metal but that’s not an insult. Metal inspired is a good way to put it. Talented and they know how to write a hook. ‘Like A villain’ is my personal favorite of theirs.
Getting a little heated are you? That's fun. Loooove your thoughts on metal type music as a genre and your take on it as a newish listener. This is gold, more please! Bad Omens is great too btw, I was here for you though.
Ohhh, Melisa, I think you're going to enjoy this journey- Noah & the boys are so good. A couple of recent songs I've really enjoyed are "Nowhere to Go" and "Concrete Jungle". Rock on! 🤘😎👍
I am an older heavy and metal music lover...I LOVE Bad Omens...this song made me literally stop in my tracks!!...their whole discography is amazing, such diverse creativity...pick any song it will be epic imo...Try Concrete Jungle and Dethrone Live version for 2 diverse sounds...too many to choose from, thank you for an honest reaction
If you haven't heard them already the plot in you is an amazing band with this sort of new metal sound The singer, Landon Tewers, has an incredible voice and an amazing range I got to see them live at a big festive down here in Australia last year and honestly despite them being like the 2nd band to play on the 5th stage they were the best band there and the crowed was packed at 8am The plot in you - feel nothing The song became an instant top 5 for me the first time i heard it
Lucky for me, I have young students, late teens early 20's and they bring up stuff. But my Daughter 26 knows me and hooks me up, I like Bad Omens.... she also brought me to Sleep Token. Whats fun is when she sends me some pop song that she can hear me putting metal guitar to. There is a lot happening right now. I enjoy listening to your take of these bands. Love what you are doing dear, keep up the adventure.
Thank you my dude I really appreciate that! It’s lovely to hear these stories of exchanging music and takes. I think Bad Omen are great. Thanks again for watching 😊💜
Noah Sebastian is a siren and no one can tell me otherwise 😂 His vocals are amazing live also! Go down the Bad Omens rabit hole. You wont be disappointed.
@SoulSingerDiscovers Concrete Jungle, Nowhere To Go (heavy early 2000's NIN vibes), Sympathy, (Live in Nashville) a cover tribute of his friends band, Too Close Touch, whom the singer passed away. I'd also say Dethrone live version. 🖤🤘
Thank you for these Starr! I’ll check them out. Pretty sure I’m going to do quite a few more Bad Omens vids for the channel. Thank you for watching. Also I love your name 😊💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers Ok, just realized I should throw a Canadian band(s) on you. Alexisonfire or City And Colour? Namely Dallas Green, singer song writer, story teller really. Now, his older band AOF is in the metal core genre, they were doing it near two decades ago. Before all the newer metal core bands. Both heavy screams and Dallas with his dang angel voice. AOF I would suggest This Could Be Anywhere In The World or No Transitory. As for City And Colour, Albums Little Hell and The Hurry And The Harm. Both those albums are a sit on your ass, rainy day mood. Songs off, maybe Two Coins, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Grand Optimist and We Found Each Other In The Dark. You wouldn't regret a listen I promise. He has also covered Alice In Chains song, Nutshell and Rain When I Die. Thank you for the name liking. Mum was a hippy, dad was a musician. Obsessed with your channel and humor. Cry laugh. ✨💜
I know it's not your normal reaction content, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Ado. She gives me sleep token vibes, not that it's the same type of music but that she doesn't stick to one genre and she's really good at it.
My suggestions are: Just pretend, The grey, Like a villain, but to be honest you can't go wrong with anything from "The death of piece of mind" album, it was such a banger
Another band you should check out is Invent Animate. Fits right along with Bad Omens and Sleep token. Without A Whisper, Heavener or False Meridian if you want to go a little heavier. Just another killer band with an unreal vocalist
I think you should check out the Live Vocal Performance ("Music Video") of Older Days performed by Resolve, Ten56 and Paleface Swiss. It showcases an incredible trio of different vocal techniques and how they harmonize with each other
Silvering fox here at 51 😎 KISS, Sabbath through Iron Maiden to the Thash introduction to the only band in the 90s Pantera revving into the new wave of what is heavy metal now? It's everything. It's Johnny Cash singing a Soundgarden song, It's Dolly Parton singing with Rob Halford... its just music. It's genre shouldn't labelled. Thataside... good song, don't hate it, not for my daily playlust though 🤘😜🤘
This whole album is great to be honest, but if I was to pick particular songs I would recommend What It Cost/Like A Villian (together ideally), Just Pretend, and most definitely Artificial Suicide.
You need to check out Ice Nine Kills!!! I found these guys a few years ago and they are incredible!!! Their last two albums, The Silver Scream, and Welcome To Horrorwood, are full of incredible music based on horror movies! And judging by the Army of Darkness poster you have in the background, Ex-mortis would be right up your alley!
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I probably should have added, their music videos in chronological order are basically a movie in themselves! It's very entertaining
Ooh i loved this reaction! This song is just.. can't find another word, perfect! There are too many songs i'd recommend but 'Like a Villain' is a must-hear! lyrically and vocally GREAT. (if you'd do LAV, just fyi:) 'What is cost' is a seperate song but serves as a prelude for this song (like a villain) on the album,(it was meant to be 1 song but they've split it)! then i would also definitely recommend 'Careful what you wish for' live performance (from Sumerian records channel) !! Noah shows a lot of vocal range is this version, sounds very pure, it's outstanding!
Amazing! Thank you for the suggestions! Can’t wait to check out more. Noah is honestly one of the best voices I’ve heard for a while now. Thank you so much for watching 😊💜
@@lyricsdomatter yes! And when the playlist is on shuffle and what it cost finishes and I doesn't continues with like a villain.. Oh the lack of satisfaction
Quite enjoyed the track. Reminded me a lot of emo/metalcore stuff i heard on Kerrang back in the day, at least in terms of melodies etc. I wish there was more variety in the heavier section - it sounded pretty generic as far as a modern metalcore riff. The production was very good though. Agreed with you on the ambience. I find it funny being called a middle child since I'm the oldest of 4 (and a half) siblings, but ill take it! 😂
Another middle child at 41 I guess? Cut my teeth on Ozzy and Nazareth. Grew up with Metallica and Megadeth. Teenage years were Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, System of a Down… I could go on and on. I fuckin LOVE Bad Omens. Noah’s voice live is just as good on album, even when there’s no vocal processing (I know sometimes they do live processing too). Much like Sleep Token it was the vocals that were the main draw to be completely honest. Noah’s got a killer range. His highs are angelic and can be very bell like. His lows sound like they’re from the pits of hell and are just brutal. Is it metal? I don’t know. Don’t care either. It’s some good ass music though! Next song suggestions: What It Cost/Like a Villain - they kind of blend into 1 song. Artificial Suicide - just a banger Concrete Jungle - great album opener Dethrone - one of their older and heavier songs (the live version is soooo much better!)
I am very envious of someone who has had that kind of history with metal. It’s so very cool 😊 Noah really is a talent. His highs are so impressive. I feel like modern metal might be my new favourite. Thanks for this Jim! And thank you for watching 😊💪
If you like the electronic sounds and cohesive production incorporated into metal, check out Falling In Reverse. Start with “Popular Monster”, but I’ll warn you now, that it may turn into a wormhole of exploring the band’s unique sound and journey!
I'm a middle child at 40 years old. Hahaha. This song isn't for me, nor would I say it's completely within the Metal genre. But, if you like it, you like it. There is something to be noted how you are exploring the Metal genre and have found very few songs you dislike. Perhaps next year you will be doing daily errands in a Cannibal Corpse shirt in public. 😅 As for songs you won't like; I am half and half with how you would feel about bands like Godflesh and early Pitchshifter. Heavy, slow, mechanical dirge with dissonant vocals that sound like they were recorded two rooms away in a tunnel. Try the songs "Like Rats" or "Brutal Cancroid". You can always try Gwar Fantastic band with less than fantastic musical skills.
Noah is one of my favorite singers right now! Insanely talented I would love to see you check out my all time favorite singer Dimash 😁. SOS is the best to start with. I know it’s a bold statement and music is subjective, but for me at least, he’s the best singer alive. I wouldn’t call it rock, but he recently has actually been incorporating a lot more rock techniques in his singing, cause he didn’t already use enough different techniques before lol
Bad Omens is the band you have never heard to the band you can't stop listening to. Same with Sleep Token. I think we should really turn the mood up and have you react to "We Got The Moves" by Electric Callboy. If you are too scared I understand but then what are we doing here.
hi! suggesting a new one. bad omens x poppy "VAN" (violence against nature). its about AI, which is perfect for poppy's artistry and her chosen social commentary subject matter. btw, they were just in Glasgow. enjoy! \m/
First of all, I’m a silver wolf. The fox is a sneaky animal. Let’s have a round table were old farts can tell stories about how was the baby age of metal. I knew this band but not that much. Interesting, well done and really well produced. Not something that I would listen every day, but something that I could go see live. Metal or not metal? Who cares. It’s heavy and nice to listen to. Melisa why you don’t have millions of suscribers? You remain (not your remains), Always and ever, my favorite youtuberist… youtuberistre… youtubereuse… anyway… that.
SSTTTTEEEEEVEEEEEEE!!!! I would like to be at the head of that round table! Yeah I get this band might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Definitely could have taken a bit more distortion, not something I thought I would ever think. Thank you Steve! Honestly I don’t know what I’d do with millions of subscribers 😂 The term is actually Grand High CZcamsrizer 👑 Hope you’re well my dude 💜💜
That was pretty cool. I think that You would enjoy the song Simon Says by Drain S.T.H. They are a Swedish metal band with all females. Keep up the great work My Fine Scottish Lady! ❤❤❤
Are they metal? Dunno. Are they? I did not look them up in the Encyclopedia Metallum. My last goth metal band wasn't according to them. No joke, I know people who take this as the only bible to decide what metal is. Jerks. I could not care less about these definitions. What they are for sure: A great example how to do modern metal in 2024+. Because: - They know how to give a song a structure, so you can call it a song. - They know what a hook is. - They know what a melody is. - They know how to create an atmosphere. - They know when a song should end. - They know that not every song needs a guitar solo, but they would have one, IF it is needed. - They know how to use musical effects sparingly but in the right places. - They are not shy of production. Means - yeah, they put a ton of effect on the vocals and use of course pitch correction. "AUTOTUNE, AAAAAARGH!" (Uh, f*ck off, so what?) But they do it for a reason, and, as you said very accurately: A good vocalist still is a good vocalist after well done vocal production, no matter if there is pitch correction (which is done everywhere, more or less, except the producer is a totally dumb jerk like I was even a few years ago), compressor, shimmering reverbs and whatnot. So yeah, very well done piece of music. And the video has vampires in it. And fire. Hell, yeah. How am I not surprised, that you even know who Souxsie and the Banshees were and like them for the style and authenticity? You are born in the wrong time, musically, right? I know that feeling... Have a wonderful end of the week and a great evening, my dear dudette and soulmate. Best regards and ... "Law-abiding citizen"? How many outtakes until you got that one without laughing?
Why am I not surprised that you just get it when it comes to vocals production! It’s just not a substitute for talent and these kinds of new bands to my mind have it in spades. It’s so impressive the amount of thought that has clearly went into these tracks. Yeah I haven’t had any grumpy purists in my comments yet but I’m sure they’ll come at some point. I do wholeheartedly believe I was born in the wrong era and not in the clique way of looking at the 1950s and thinking god the fashion was amazing more a sort of, I would have been much better served by being born in the 70s or even 60s so I could be adult enough to enjoy some of my most favourite artists. Siousie and the Banshees are a seasonal staple in my listening for a whole bunch of reasons. I recorded in too many times saying terrible things CZcams would almost certainly flag me for so I settled with that (begrudgingly) hope you are having a cosy evening and a relaxing lot uneventful week 😊💜💜
Would you react to BABYMETAL? I would suggest recent live performances of their songs Road of Resistance, Monochrome, and Megitsune, from their PIA Arena 2023 concerts.

And dethrone also.

Got it on my list 😊

Metal is not a sound. Metal is not a production chain. Metal is not a fashion. Metal is an attitude to life.

I also want to suggest a band you haven't listened to yet who have a ridiculously talented singer, and that is Fit for an Autopsy. Specifically a song from their album Oh What The Future Holds, and that song is In Shadows. The whole album is fucking incredible start to finish, but In Shadows shows off how talented Joe Bad is. His voice has such versatility in the distortions he uses, and has clean-er sections that he does using some layering that just are so very good. Check them out.
I will 😊
There is SO much AMAZING musical talent out there rn - & Bad Omens is right there at the top!!! 76 days til POINTFEST 2024!!!! #baddies4ev
You’re absolutely right! Sooo much talent 😊✨
Silver Fox here!! I’m only 41…. I greyed hella early. But I was introduced to Metallica in the early 90’s. Right in the middle of it all!! I can say we’ve come a long way since the beginning of Metal. I can’t wait for the next 30 years of Metal and where it goes
Yep! My cousin showed me the Black Album when I was 9 and I’ve been here ever since! Lol
I’m silver. The rest is debatable. I personally wouldn’t classify Bad Omens as metal but that’s not an insult. Metal inspired is a good way to put it. Talented and they know how to write a hook. ‘Like A villain’ is my personal favorite of theirs.
That’s totally fair. I’ll be sure to check it out. Thanks for watching Steve 😊
Getting a little heated are you? That's fun. Loooove your thoughts on metal type music as a genre and your take on it as a newish listener. This is gold, more please! Bad Omens is great too btw, I was here for you though.
Middle child: DETHRONE NEXT. He tears it up the entire song. Feel free to watch the live version to allay any fears about whether he can do it.
I will do 😊
Ohhh, Melisa, I think you're going to enjoy this journey- Noah & the boys are so good. A couple of recent songs I've really enjoyed are "Nowhere to Go" and "Concrete Jungle". Rock on! 🤘😎👍
I am so excited, they are amazing 😊
Bad Omens-Artificial Suicide
Do their song Miracle, such an underrated banger
Will do 😊
I am an older heavy and metal music lover...I LOVE Bad Omens...this song made me literally stop in my tracks!!...their whole discography is amazing, such diverse creativity...pick any song it will be epic imo...Try Concrete Jungle and Dethrone Live version for 2 diverse sounds...too many to choose from, thank you for an honest reaction
Definitley do Just Pretend next! Love that I found you!
Will do! Thank you so much for watching David 😊
This band is insane live btw
I have no doubt 😊
If you haven't heard them already the plot in you is an amazing band with this sort of new metal sound
The singer, Landon Tewers, has an incredible voice and an amazing range
I got to see them live at a big festive down here in Australia last year and honestly despite them being like the 2nd band to play on the 5th stage they were the best band there and the crowed was packed at 8am
The plot in you - feel nothing
The song became an instant top 5 for me the first time i heard it
Gonna record this exact song next week for the channel! Pretty hyped! Thank you for the suggestion my dude 😊💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers can't wait!
Lucky for me, I have young students, late teens early 20's and they bring up stuff.
But my Daughter 26 knows me and hooks me up, I like Bad Omens.... she also brought me to Sleep Token.
Whats fun is when she sends me some pop song that she can hear me putting metal guitar to.
There is a lot happening right now.
I enjoy listening to your take of these bands.
Love what you are doing dear, keep up the adventure.
Thank you my dude I really appreciate that! It’s lovely to hear these stories of exchanging music and takes. I think Bad Omen are great. Thanks again for watching 😊💜
To the guy who insisted that 74 seconds pass before dropping the title-card: fist-bump.
It was the most big d*ck energy I have encountered for some time 💪
@@SoulSingerDiscovers (I had multiple reply options here, but I resisted the urge. Let the record show...)
This was my first Bad Omens song. This was good. But it definitely sounds like they have better.
Love the way you react to new music, hopefully you do some Imminence -Ghost/Chasing Shadows/Alleviate
I’ll make sure I have those on my list. Thanks for watching my dude 😊
Noah Sebastian is a siren and no one can tell me otherwise 😂 His vocals are amazing live also! Go down the Bad Omens rabit hole. You wont be disappointed.
@SoulSingerDiscovers Concrete Jungle, Nowhere To Go (heavy early 2000's NIN vibes), Sympathy, (Live in Nashville) a cover tribute of his friends band, Too Close Touch, whom the singer passed away. I'd also say Dethrone live version. 🖤🤘
Thank you for these Starr! I’ll check them out. Pretty sure I’m going to do quite a few more Bad Omens vids for the channel. Thank you for watching. Also I love your name 😊💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers Ok, just realized I should throw a Canadian band(s) on you. Alexisonfire or City And Colour? Namely Dallas Green, singer song writer, story teller really. Now, his older band AOF is in the metal core genre, they were doing it near two decades ago. Before all the newer metal core bands. Both heavy screams and Dallas with his dang angel voice. AOF I would suggest This Could Be Anywhere In The World or No Transitory.
As for City And Colour, Albums Little Hell and The Hurry And The Harm. Both those albums are a sit on your ass, rainy day mood. Songs off, maybe Two Coins, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Grand Optimist and We Found Each Other In The Dark. You wouldn't regret a listen I promise. He has also covered Alice In Chains song, Nutshell and Rain When I Die.
Thank you for the name liking. Mum was a hippy, dad was a musician. Obsessed with your channel and humor. Cry laugh. ✨💜
I know it's not your normal reaction content, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Ado. She gives me sleep token vibes, not that it's the same type of music but that she doesn't stick to one genre and she's really good at it.
Ill check her out. Thanks for the suggestion my dude 😊
Do Concrete Jungle soon!
I’ll add to my list 😊
You should try "The Grey" to more discover clean vocal of Noah
Will do 😊
My suggestions are: Just pretend, The grey, Like a villain, but to be honest you can't go wrong with anything from "The death of piece of mind" album, it was such a banger
Another band you should check out is Invent Animate. Fits right along with Bad Omens and Sleep token. Without A Whisper, Heavener or False Meridian if you want to go a little heavier. Just another killer band with an unreal vocalist
Artificial suicide
I’ll add that to my list 😊
do the live version from Las Vegas! Its FIRE@@SoulSingerDiscovers
@@flawlessorca75 second this!!!
We would all love to see you react to Bad Omens The Gray? Wouldnt we? 🤘😉
I think you should check out the Live Vocal Performance ("Music Video") of Older Days performed by Resolve, Ten56 and Paleface Swiss. It showcases an incredible trio of different vocal techniques and how they harmonize with each other
Will do! Thanks for the suggestion my dude 😊
Silvering fox here at 51 😎 KISS, Sabbath through Iron Maiden to the Thash introduction to the only band in the 90s Pantera revving into the new wave of what is heavy metal now? It's everything. It's Johnny Cash singing a Soundgarden song, It's Dolly Parton singing with Rob Halford... its just music. It's genre shouldn't labelled. Thataside... good song, don't hate it, not for my daily playlust though 🤘😜🤘
This whole album is great to be honest, but if I was to pick particular songs I would recommend What It Cost/Like A Villian (together ideally), Just Pretend, and most definitely Artificial Suicide.
Yeah you’re one of many folk asking for like a villian. I’ll pop it on my to do. Thanks for watching my dude 😊
You need to check out Ice Nine Kills!!! I found these guys a few years ago and they are incredible!!! Their last two albums, The Silver Scream, and Welcome To Horrorwood, are full of incredible music based on horror movies! And judging by the Army of Darkness poster you have in the background, Ex-mortis would be right up your alley!
Thanks for this my dude I’ll check them out 😊💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I probably should have added, their music videos in chronological order are basically a movie in themselves! It's very entertaining
Ooh i loved this reaction! This song is just.. can't find another word, perfect! There are too many songs i'd recommend but 'Like a Villain' is a must-hear! lyrically and vocally GREAT. (if you'd do LAV, just fyi:) 'What is cost' is a seperate song but serves as a prelude for this song (like a villain) on the album,(it was meant to be 1 song but they've split it)! then i would also definitely recommend 'Careful what you wish for' live performance (from Sumerian records channel) !! Noah shows a lot of vocal range is this version, sounds very pure, it's outstanding!
Amazing! Thank you for the suggestions! Can’t wait to check out more. Noah is honestly one of the best voices I’ve heard for a while now. Thank you so much for watching 😊💜
I can't listen to like a villain without what it cost first. it's not right
@@lyricsdomatter yes! And when the playlist is on shuffle and what it cost finishes and I doesn't continues with like a villain.. Oh the lack of satisfaction
@@bathykolpyan oh yeah it trips my bf's rage button instantly he's like 'How does it not know?! Who would want this?!'
If you like the heavier stuff, you should check out Artificial Suicide
Will do! 😊
Great reaction. But you need to watch Noah live. You will be pleasantly surprised 👍
I will check it out. Thanks for watching Lee 😊
Definitely want ya to check out periphery if you haven’t yet!
Got them on my list 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers hell yeah!
Check out the unplugged acoustic album they did
Will do 😊
Quite enjoyed the track. Reminded me a lot of emo/metalcore stuff i heard on Kerrang back in the day, at least in terms of melodies etc. I wish there was more variety in the heavier section - it sounded pretty generic as far as a modern metalcore riff.
The production was very good though. Agreed with you on the ambience.
I find it funny being called a middle child since I'm the oldest of 4 (and a half) siblings, but ill take it! 😂
Another middle child at 41 I guess? Cut my teeth on Ozzy and Nazareth. Grew up with Metallica and Megadeth. Teenage years were Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, System of a Down… I could go on and on. I fuckin LOVE Bad Omens. Noah’s voice live is just as good on album, even when there’s no vocal processing (I know sometimes they do live processing too).
Much like Sleep Token it was the vocals that were the main draw to be completely honest. Noah’s got a killer range. His highs are angelic and can be very bell like. His lows sound like they’re from the pits of hell and are just brutal. Is it metal? I don’t know. Don’t care either. It’s some good ass music though!
Next song suggestions:
What It Cost/Like a Villain - they kind of blend into 1 song.
Artificial Suicide - just a banger
Concrete Jungle - great album opener
Dethrone - one of their older and heavier songs (the live version is soooo much better!)
I am very envious of someone who has had that kind of history with metal. It’s so very cool 😊
Noah really is a talent. His highs are so impressive. I feel like modern metal might be my new favourite.
Thanks for this Jim! And thank you for watching 😊💪
DeThrone, Limits, Just Pretend, Artificial Suicide
If you like the electronic sounds and cohesive production incorporated into metal, check out Falling In Reverse. Start with “Popular Monster”, but I’ll warn you now, that it may turn into a wormhole of exploring the band’s unique sound and journey!
I'm a middle child at 40 years old. Hahaha. This song isn't for me, nor would I say it's completely within the Metal genre. But, if you like it, you like it.
There is something to be noted how you are exploring the Metal genre and have found very few songs you dislike. Perhaps next year you will be doing daily errands in a Cannibal Corpse shirt in public. 😅
As for songs you won't like; I am half and half with how you would feel about bands like Godflesh and early Pitchshifter. Heavy, slow, mechanical dirge with dissonant vocals that sound like they were recorded two rooms away in a tunnel. Try the songs "Like Rats" or "Brutal Cancroid".
You can always try Gwar Fantastic band with less than fantastic musical skills.
Unrelated to the song, but whats your favourite kind of quiche?
Just Pretend.
Very nice, thanks ❤
Thank you too! 😊
The Grey by Bad Omens is a nice song you should check out
Should check out artificial suicide or dethrone
Will do 😊
Noah is one of my favorite singers right now! Insanely talented
I would love to see you check out my all time favorite singer Dimash 😁. SOS is the best to start with. I know it’s a bold statement and music is subjective, but for me at least, he’s the best singer alive. I wouldn’t call it rock, but he recently has actually been incorporating a lot more rock techniques in his singing, cause he didn’t already use enough different techniques before lol
❤❤❤❤
Like a Villain or Artificial Suicide. Both are Just as incredibly as this.
Noah sounds remarkably the same live
I have no doubt. Looking forward to seeing it! Thank you so much for watching 💜😊
Bad Omens is the band you have never heard to the band you can't stop listening to. Same with Sleep Token. I think we should really turn the mood up and have you react to "We Got The Moves" by Electric Callboy. If you are too scared I understand but then what are we doing here.
hi! suggesting a new one. bad omens x poppy "VAN" (violence against nature). its about AI, which is perfect for poppy's artistry and her chosen social commentary subject matter. btw, they were just in Glasgow. enjoy! \m/
Thank you!! I’ll check them out! Sounds interesting 😊
Listen to Just pretend by Bad Omens. It's just as good, if not better live. Noah is an incredible vocalist.
I will do! They are amazing 😊
I think if you really want to experience his voice as it is without all the distortion, you need to listen some of the acoustic stuff.
Consider it done 😊💪
@@SoulSingerDiscoversIn that case, Never Know is amazing. Gives me chills.
Bad Omens dethrone is very hardcore
You should really check out Dethroned by Bad Omens. And do some Motionless In White Slaughterhouse or Thoughts and Prayers
I will do! Thanks Jeff 😊
Dethrone and Mercy for sure ❤
Thanks for watching my dude 😊
After 2 mos. of non-stop Sleep Token for my spotify, TDOPOM is the album that broke my streak 😂 (ST is still in my circulation. Don't worry.)
That makes too much sense. If you’re gonna break a ST streak this is really the only acceptable thing to do it with 😂 thanks again for watching 😊
First of all, I’m a silver wolf. The fox is a sneaky animal. Let’s have a round table were old farts can tell stories about how was the baby age of metal.
I knew this band but not that much. Interesting, well done and really well produced. Not something that I would listen every day, but something that I could go see live.
Metal or not metal? Who cares. It’s heavy and nice to listen to.
Melisa why you don’t have millions of suscribers?
You remain (not your remains), Always and ever, my favorite youtuberist… youtuberistre… youtubereuse… anyway… that.
SSTTTTEEEEEVEEEEEEE!!!! I would like to be at the head of that round table! Yeah I get this band might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Definitely could have taken a bit more distortion, not something I thought I would ever think.
Thank you Steve! Honestly I don’t know what I’d do with millions of subscribers 😂
The term is actually Grand High CZcamsrizer 👑
Hope you’re well my dude 💜💜
That was pretty cool. I think that You would enjoy the song Simon Says by Drain S.T.H. They are a Swedish metal band with all females. Keep up the great work My Fine Scottish Lady! ❤❤❤
Ohhhh!!! That sounds cool. I’ll check them them out. Hope you’re well Scott 💜💜💜
Love your reactions!
Can only recommend you to listen to:
Dethrone (live)
Artificial Suicide
Concrete Jungle
I will add them to my list. Thank you so much for watching my dude 😊
I know you like Goth, but do you like Horror? If so, you should check out the band Railgun and the song Night Terrors. Sick song and sicker video!
Check out King Diamond for some awesome falsettos
Aw I have he’s totally amazing!!
FFDP…🤣🤣🤣🤣. Agree!!!
Nice reaction!!!
Thank you!! 😊💜
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is bad omens lmao could you react to temptation and heaven shall burn by imminence
not this silver foxes thing but to each their own
Fair point Mark! Hope you and Melissa are well 😊💜
React to bad omens like a villain and just pretend please
Will do 😊
Don't discount Testament. Great early metal band!
Me, just waiting for you to get to Dethrone by bomens. If you do it, do the live version from Sumerian Records account. You're gonna be shocked 😂
I will and I cannot wait 😊💜
You neeeed need need to listen to 24 Light Years by Vola
You like Bob's Burgers and Bad Omens, you are alright in my book.. Subscribed for more :)
Thank you for subbing my dude. And thank you for liking Bobs burgers. Not enough people do in my mind 😂💜
where the thumbnail photo in video
If you’re asking where’s the photo in the video it’s not. It’s just the art for the song.
Are they metal?
Dunno. Are they? I did not look them up in the Encyclopedia Metallum. My last goth metal band wasn't according to them.
No joke, I know people who take this as the only bible to decide what metal is. Jerks.
I could not care less about these definitions.
What they are for sure: A great example how to do modern metal in 2024+.
Because:
- They know how to give a song a structure, so you can call it a song.
- They know what a hook is.
- They know what a melody is.
- They know how to create an atmosphere.
- They know when a song should end.
- They know that not every song needs a guitar solo, but they would have one, IF it is needed.
- They know how to use musical effects sparingly but in the right places.
- They are not shy of production. Means - yeah, they put a ton of effect on the vocals and use of course pitch correction. "AUTOTUNE, AAAAAARGH!" (Uh, f*ck off, so what?)
But they do it for a reason, and, as you said very accurately: A good vocalist still is a good vocalist after well done vocal production, no matter if there is pitch correction (which is done everywhere, more or less, except the producer is a totally dumb jerk like I was even a few years ago), compressor, shimmering reverbs and whatnot.
So yeah, very well done piece of music. And the video has vampires in it. And fire. Hell, yeah.
How am I not surprised, that you even know who Souxsie and the Banshees were and like them for the style and authenticity?
You are born in the wrong time, musically, right? I know that feeling...
Have a wonderful end of the week and a great evening, my dear dudette and soulmate.
Best regards and ...
"Law-abiding citizen"? How many outtakes until you got that one without laughing?
Why am I not surprised that you just get it when it comes to vocals production! It’s just not a substitute for talent and these kinds of new bands to my mind have it in spades. It’s so impressive the amount of thought that has clearly went into these tracks.
Yeah I haven’t had any grumpy purists in my comments yet but I’m sure they’ll come at some point.
I do wholeheartedly believe I was born in the wrong era and not in the clique way of looking at the 1950s and thinking god the fashion was amazing more a sort of, I would have been much better served by being born in the 70s or even 60s so I could be adult enough to enjoy some of my most favourite artists.
Siousie and the Banshees are a seasonal staple in my listening for a whole bunch of reasons.
I recorded in too many times saying terrible things CZcams would almost certainly flag me for so I settled with that (begrudgingly) hope you are having a cosy evening and a relaxing lot uneventful week 😊💜💜
grey
Would you react to BABYMETAL? I would suggest recent live performances of their songs Road of Resistance, Monochrome, and Megitsune, from their PIA Arena 2023 concerts.
Road of Resistance: czcams.com/video/4XYMvGJy1JI/video.html
Monochrome: czcams.com/video/8pvxCzhBsTM/video.html

Thanks for this my dude I’ll pop it on my list. 😊
HOLD UP, you haven't reacted to In This Moment's _Whore_ yett?!
I haven’t but you had me at whore 😂😱💜
@@SoulSingerDiscovers it has a cameo from Chris Motionless of *Motionless In White* , their top songs to react, i suggest, are _Another Life_ & _Masterpiece_ 🥰
Liked the song but that's not metal, my granny farting is more metal than that.
😂😂 your granny sounds like some woman 💪
@@SoulSingerDiscoverswell everybody knew she was lacto except she ;-)
