Okay dude, seriously DARK TRANQUILLITY !!!
Since you prefer clean singing listen to Misery's Crown, Atoma, Therein, or Freecard.
Iridium
@@ZomGerb Yeah your probably right. . Maybe I'll start requesting that instead.
@@florentabbe9721 Love that song! (I love all their songs - but Iridium is so hauntingly beautiful)
@Terrible Music Made by Me. Fuck yeah! Mikael poors his heart and soul out in that track. I concur. They have soo many GREAT songs it's really hard to choose which to recommend.
Sweden and Finland are the two great nations of modern metal!
Indeed. If you like Insomnium, check out Omnium Gatherum. Same guitarist. Great Finnish band.
IN FLAMESS!!!
I wouldn't leave out Norway and Denmark. Dimmu Borgir (Norway) and Volbeat (Denmark) are both awesome bands. I would really say, if a band is anywhere from scandinavia it's a good sign, that they could be great ^^
SOILWORK!
Lol I just daid the same thung vefote scrollong through the comments xD
Great minds I guess 👊😎👍
Insomnium - While We Sleep
I second this notion
i third this notion
Insomnium!!
no, Insomnium - Winter's Gate (Pt.2)
I agree
Wow, long since I last heard Scar Symmetry. I always thought they were very underrated. While Morphogenesis is their most famous song, they have much better ones. Try Artificial Sun Projection by them next. Probably my favorite song of theirs. They always have such epic and unique melodies.
I can agree with that. Artificial Sun Projection has a very unique sound.
Can agree. I personally also love Ghost Prototype l. So clean and awesome.
@@PaytonDriefus ghost prototype 2 bruh
@@cairenmiranda7936 that song too, but I felt like only posting one lul xD
Dude. Technopocalyptic Cybergeddon off Singularity Phase 1 is DOPE
Dude Alex, it’s the same singer on this song Christian Älvestam. He however left the band and they had to replace him with 2 singers. You should check out Christians new band called Solution .45, listen to Bleed Heavens Dry.
or Gravitational Lensing from their first album.
solution .45 is pretty damn good
Fun fact, Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity has written a few songs for them as well as provided back up clean vocals.
YES! Alex: check out GRAVITATIONAL LENSING by Solution .45!
Yup christian was a beast I have to say I lost all interest in this band after he left.
Next step from Scar Symmetry would be Soilwork. As We Speak or Stabbing the Drama would be my choices.
I agree wholeheartedly with this.
Great songs. Love Soilwork and looking forward to the new album!
Thank you brother.@@davidking9766
yup
I agree, or nerve, the chorus would get stuck in his head
You need to check out some of the classic swedish melo death bands like At the gates, Dark tranquillity, (old) In flames or Soilwork. They are very influential to Avenged sevenfold and Trivium.
Seriously dude, I know he will love Mikaels clean vocals, I've been requesting Lost to Apathy for months, hopefully he checks them out sooner than later..
In Flames for sure. I think you'd dig Only For The Weak or The Quiet Place.
Soilwork!!!
I love At the Gates but Alex isn't into that type of vocals. Soilwork is good mix of harsh and angelic vocals.
Soilwork!!!
While She Sleeps - Silence Speaks
DanielAntonsen94
Fuck yes
DanielAntonsen94 you are we is great to
In Flames - Take this life. In Flames and Soilwork are both excellent bands. Can't go wrong with either one.
Anything from in flames would be great
You can go wrong if you listen to anything off the last 2 CDs of In Flames... but Take this Life would be perfect for Alex.
I'm a huge soilwork fan cranking the sirens great song
@@tarekkassis2663 Pre-Purpose that is. I dont know. Not digging their work after Come Clarity.
especially anything from late 90s/early 2000s Inflames.
As i lay dying the sound of truth
I have been trying to get him to do a double video reaction of nothing left and the sound of truth since he started the channel. Good luck
@@ryanscott6852 ive been asking him to react to them for 6 months and im gonna keep trying. I would prefer confined or overcome over nothing left (i love that song btw).
@@V_E_R_D_U_N he's reacted to As I Lay Dying in the past lol
@@AlphaXbot i know but not to the sound of truth
@@AlphaXbot i meant react to that song not the band my bad.
Been watching for awhile... I gotta say man, you're killing it. This channel is like all of the best parts of sharing your music with someone. The joy of discovering, and rediscovering great music.
Keep up the good work brother.
im so glad you feel that way! :)
Thank you so much for reacting to this! It honestly took me a few songs to get into the deep growls like this, but his cleans won me over and now I’m all about this band! Your honest reaction and breakdown of the song made my day!!!!! Thank you Alex!!
Swedish metal band Soilwork - Nerve, Incredibly good song.
I sent him 2 soilwork albums months ago and he still hasn't listened to any of them
Two Lives Worth of Reckoning
Chainheart machine .......
Follow the hallow
This was the first song I heard by Scar Symmetry back in the day and I was instantly hooked on their music, Christian Älvestam, the vocalist on Scar Symmetry’s first 3 albums is a beast on vocals, his growls are so deep and guttural but still clear and his clean vocals just kept on getting better and better over the years...
After the first 3 albums and Christian’s departure from the band, I tried to hang on and give the next 2 albums a chance, when they got the 2 new vocalists to fill the spot of Christian, they made some good songs, no doubt about that, but I gotta admit that I never really got into the singing style of the 2 new vocalists, 1 on cleans and 1 growler, so my attention followed Christian on his way with the band Solution.45, I love their music and Christian have also made some solo stuff that is totally different from these bands, I love his solo material so much too, it’s very melodic and atmospheric, he’s a brilliant artist...
Great reaction Alex, love your channel brother, you nearly gave me a heart attack with the title on the video you posted the other day, with “Quitting reaction videos!!?” I was like nooooooo, you can’t quit, then I watched the video and saw it was a question from one of our Hefnerds family members... 😃
I'm so glad you reacted to this! I love this song and didn't expect you to react to it because I hadn't seen requests for it. You made my night!
Carcass - Heartwork! You’re ready for it - the godfathers of melodic death metal, among other styles
Lostsage01 Carcass, where would we be without them
@@SSJ4Gamma And they are working on a new album, to boot!
My favorite carcass album I like this mortal coil.
Alex, who in the hell is advising you to react to all of these "B" level metal bands? There are so many other tried and true bands that are much more unique than what you've been reviewing. Please react to Satyricon: Black Crow on a Tombstone; Katatonia: Forsaker; and Solitude Aeturnus: Opaque Divinity. Alex you are missing out on so many good bands that are much more unique than what you've been reacting to. Carcass are wonderful, and you should react to them.
Designated Hessian - Yep, and Carcass’ Necroticism and Tools of the Trade came out before that. In my mind it isn’t really about who was absolutely first with the style: I would classify the godfathers as Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, and In Flames from Sweden, and Carcass from the UK. All were using melodeth elements in their songwriting around the same time and they collectively pioneered the sound
When I saw this in my feed I screamed! Scar Symmetry is my all time favorite band! And they're having people record and send them vocals for the mega choir they'll have on their upcoming album. I'm proud to be apart of it! :D
Is their news of the upcoming album? I've been patiently waiting
@@AlphaXbot yeah man...they just released a fan request prohect to be a part of the choir on a track...so they are finishing album up.
Children of Bodom - Kissing the Shadows
Children of Bodom - Angels don't Kill
Sabaton - Primo Victoria
Sabaton - Carolus Rex
Hatebreeder kissing the shadows yes!
Yes it's about time I've been waiting for this.
Poets of the fall - Carnival of rust please! Great song from great finnish band! Im sure you will like it :)
THIS!
@@nortle96 yeah... not metal tho^^
Oh yes yes yes!!!! This is SO beautifull.
Also won't stop with Amorphis - Silent waters. There you have some great clean vocals
They'll be at ProgPower USA next year. Really looking forward to it!
I prefer Lift
Awesome reaction. So happy that you finally heard Christian Älvestam's vocals. He started a super group called Solution .45, you should check out Gravitational Lensing. I love Melodic Death metal, I feel like the growls make me appreciate clean vocals 100 times more. Also check out Soilwork - Two Lives Worth of Reckoning.
scar symmetry- limits to infinity is a bad ass song alex!!
limits to infinity YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
@@the_legendary_gojira9514 thats why its my screen name..
it's my fav band!
limits to infinity Same here. Per Nilsson is one of the best guitarists currently alive too.
@@the_legendary_gojira9514 i couldn't agree more!
Since the departure of Christian Alvestam it has not been the same Scar Symmetry. Sorry, ultimately, The Dark Dimmenssion was good but after this one it's no longer the same thing
I really like that recently you've started actually giving us your more 'honest' takes on songs. It seemed to me from watching your videos every day that the song would play, you would rock out to it, say 'this is dope!' and name things you liked, and that was that. You've become more critical lately, which I think is great. Keep up the solid content my dude.
YES dude been waiting on this man
Please react to Dimmu Borgir- Gateways or Council of Wolves and Snakes or Progenies of the Great Apocalypse
Kings of the Carnival Creation! Alex needs to hear Vortex's amazing voice!
Gateways would be a good reaction cuz you got Agnete in there too so there's a lot going on and a lot to talk about, I think.
Awesome dude. Been a huge fan from the beginning. As a metalhead, I really appreciate what you do. Now please do Killswitch Engage - rose of sharyn!!!!
Thanks for reacting to this song my friend, it reminds me again how much I love this band and this song. And your videos :-)
Growling vocals werent my cup of tea till I semi forced myself to listen to Make Them Suffer after a friend recommended them to me. They grew on me and one of my favorite vocals :). You'll get there Alex, keep up the dope videos
Im sitting here with my son who is 2 mind u and as soon as the musuc starts he starts headbanging 😂😂😂😂
Good education starts early 👍🎸😆
U should see him when i put Arch Enemy on he gose crazy like hes in the pit already 😂😂
@@nikefredy1987 Cool. Which singer. Or both? My boys loved Shout at the Devil. Which was great at family reunions when my wife would get them to sing it in front of my religious nut family. Especially my older brother the minister. It was great.
@@anthonyyohman he loves both of them but mostly Alissya( i hope i spelt that right. Man id pay to see ur families reactions 😂😂😂😂
My son is 3 and he is the same way lol! We know we are raising them right lol
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope 🤘

17th attempt for Volbeat! Great job with this video by the way Alex. I love how your reactions are introducing me to new music too, feel like I am riding with you on this journey. Let's keep on rolling!
Im like 4 years late to this video but Scar Symmetry is my favorite band ever!!! Im so excited you reacted to them!!
React to Solution .45's Lethean Tears.
Same fucking vocalist but different side of him. His vocal range is majestic af.
Completely agree with this, amazing song!
I support this
Yes. All clean vocals, more of a ballad but great song!
YES! ALL OF THE YES!
Alex must do "Lethean Tears"!
DARK TRANQUILLITY - LOST TO APATHY
Much respect to you for doing this band. They are way underrated. Been jamming out to them for years.
If you're looking for another tune by them I might personally suggest Mind Machine or Deviate From The Form. Those are my two personal favorites. Good stuff as always dude! Really look forward to seeing how you like this branch of metal!
You should check out:
Epica: Design Your Universe
Within Temptation ft. Tara: Paradise (What about Us?)
Steve Vai - For The Love of God live with the Holland Metropole Orchestra or Steve Vai - Tender Surrender
James Woods tender surrender! No nut November is almost over so it's safe to Watch it
Seeing how he always enjoys solid guitar solos, it's about time he listened to the masters like steve vai, joe satriani and some of the more modern, but technical crazy guitarists like tosin abasi (animals as leaders) :D
You and austin doing for the love of god
Another great reaction video by the way Ive never heard scar symmetry either bro but I like them...
Thank you for doing this!
React to Hammerfall. A Swedish powermetal band.
Alex, check out Soilwork and At the Gates for more Swedish goodness!
Before it even starts, sicccc bruv. Good one.
I am a little late to the party on this one. Scar Symmetry is one of my favorite bands. That said. Okay Christian is the first vocalist, he handled all vocal work. After he left the band they had to hire two vocalist to do what he did. If you like this check out .45 Solution. As in 45 caliber. Later
Knocked loose - Billy no mates://counting worms!
React to Opeth Ghost Of Perdition live at the roundhouse
Alright man, I haven’t requested anything yet, but now that you’ve entered the Swedish metal scene I’d love to see you do Soilwork. I really enjoy “let this river flow”
If you like Swedish melodic metal and enjoyed In Flames, consider 'Trigger' by In Flames and 'Rejection Role' by Soilwork. Those are two videos filmed at the same time by the same director for two bands, and one band guest star in the other's video and vice versa. I'm sure you'll love both the music and the videos, they're both truly "dope" and the cameos are brilliant!
Great job as usual, thanks Alex!
PLEASE REACT TO THE POET AND THE PENDULUM OF NIGHTWISH!!!

Where would ALL the music world be without Sweden?? 😀 Best example: ABBA!!
Well - I'm from Germany, but i clearly see, that Sweden knows a damned thing about music!! ..and about Metal of course!!! 😁😀
Sometimes people forget that some of the greatest bands are from Europe
@@AlphaXbot And Europe are from Sweden so.. ;)
@@mickej84 "Europe are from Sweden" that's not how that works. Sweden is literally in Europe not the other way around.
@@AlphaXbot There is a very famous band from Sweden called Europe. It was a joke. :p
i've been waiting for this day
glad you could finally experience it :)
@@AlexHefner i'd love it if you could react to something by satyricon at some point, they are one of my favourite bands, it's pretty old school black metal but not too hard and they kicked so much ass live

I'm glad you came across them, and you (mostly) enjoyed the experience of listening their music.
BTW, I enjoy your channel brother, as I have discovered new music for myself to experience like Jinjer, I discovered them on your channel....
Thanks again.

Alex React to Epica - monopoly on truth (live retrospect)
Yes! Finally something that something played on the radio or the same band that you been over and over
So glad to hear some Scar Symmetry on here. Wonderful band and really digging the reaction, man.
I'm still more of a fan of Christian on vocals, but the new guys certainly don't pull any punches either. And the guitar work on a lot of their other tracks ("The Kaleidoscopic God" and "Deviate from the Form" come to mind) just blows me away.
Definitely check out their first two albums Symmetric in Design & Pitch Black Progress for some wonderful times.
Van Canto - Battery, please!!, they are a very unique band, if or when you choose to do a reaction go in blind don't do research on them, just know that the song is a cover of Battery by Metallica and that they are very unique.
I agree with van canto but I'd suggest "lost forever" or something... I can't lie, even tho I love them now, i laughed my ass of watching the video of battery and couldn't take them seriously til I gave them another chance.
Agreed, really great cleans... not my type of harsh vocals either... great that there's another good Swedish metal band... another fantastic Swedish metal band... Amaranthe... 3 vocalists, 1 harsh male, 1 clean male and leading the way Elise Rye... Oh My God what a fantastic vocalist.... dude you need to react to them and soon.
They are death vocals.
Love that you speak so good about Swedish metal!
So ready for more?
Raised Fist - friends and traitors
Adep - dark clouds
Evergrey - broken wings

Thanks for bringing a long forgotten band back into my heart
They HAD only one vocalist until Christian left and was replaced with two new ones, one on cleans and one growler. However, they are often compared to Soilwork whose vocalist is called Björn. Fantastic band, but this is far from one of their better tracks. Check out Ghost Prototype 1 or Kaleidoscopic God. Good luck on your finals, bruh.
Nailed it. Ghost prototype 1 is a showcase of both Christians vocal ability and per nilssons guitar work. Brilliant track.
So catchy! This song and band was one of the first to help me get into death metal \m/ SO DOOOOPE :D
Im so glad that you got to Scar Symatry. The fact is that im related yo the guitarist (Per Nilsson) and i remember when he gave my their first 2 albums about 10 years ago and i still listen to them from time to time. Sorry if my English is bad (as im Swedish) 😉
You like the Swedish metal scene? Check out Soilwork. Killer band

- Take The Time: my personal favorite from their classic Images and Words album
- The Glass Prison: One of their most technical and experimental songs, very progresive, a must listen.
- Panic Attack: Very fast and heavy riffs
