Heaviest album of all time?
Genuine question;
YES or NO?😅
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS
YES.
Yes
Genuinely yes. Can't think of an heavier album which isn't heavy just to be heavy, isn't just static noise, and is also lyrically heavy.
absolutely yes
Its a mind bending fact that Labyrinthian is the albums power ballad.
Favorite song of the album. I’m getting soft.😅
Passage is goddamn beautiful too.
If a rogue planet smashed into the earth, it wouldn’t even sound half as destructive as HLB.
Perfectly stated! It’s the new heaviest matter in the universe! (Sorry, Gojira )
The thing about this is, it's so intense, that's making me think it's the heaviest album. It doesn't sound forced, it flows really nicely. But that tension every second, just insane.
Have you listened to black tongue - nadir? Had similar feelings while listening to it
@@longpastgone yeah, I listened to it back then, when it came out. You are right, has similar vibes, but i think it sounds a lot more Black Metal Influenced with the verses, rather than Djent/Thall/Progressive Metal. But still an amazing record, although I prefer the Uncoquerable Dark by Black Tongue!
it’s so heavy, it made a new genre.

All of these describe their sound equally well, it just depends on which sounds better lol
@@rotemeliaz in my opinion, endcore is probably the best name.
@@Lilith_Reaver Yeah, agreed. It's the best when it's only one syllable + core, such that it rolls off the tongue. Thallcore stays with the original thall joke, but endcore just sounds the coolest.
Catastrophize is my favorite track after my first listen. The entire album is beyond massive. 🔥
Catastrophize is one of the finest things they've ever done. Crushing and relentless.
Same here! No other band or track in this scene has ever made me instinctively windmill other than Spite. I can't stop listening to that banger!🔥🔥
The song that got me into HLB. Fucking brutal.
For me the best song is by far Bearer. It’s got the coolest ambient stuff out of everything and that intro riff is just mind melting.
The entire second half destroyed my brain
Bearer reminds me of Vildhjarta's Den Helige Anden with those sorrowful bendy slidey simple melodies.
@@batsali99 defo, it’s probably the best example of both thall and endcore
You know, I've been listening to metal for over 25 years, and for the first time, it's like I'm afraid to listen to a certain album. I still haven't listened to it. I can't, you know, bring myself to decide and get into the right mood for listening. I haven't even watched the video I'm commenting under.
🤨
I felt the same way and waited a day and a half for this reason, and I still am not sure I was in the right mindset for it since you need to be in a more "art" mindset than "metal" mindset to appreciate their work. All I'll say is definitely wait until you think you're in the headspace you want for it, because I'm a little sad I didn't wait longer either, it deserves the most attention etc (and clearly you know that, just encouraging your stance on waiting!)
I honestly cannot imagine how music could get any heavier than this. Buster is an absolute genius producing this brand of metal, it is so unique, so brutal it actually gets beautiful. I love Catastrophize and Shell, but the sad, Vildhjarta-like riff at 13:41 sends me to another dimension.
Anyone knows if there's gonna be an instrumental version for this album?
there is one
I'm on my 4th listen through rn. I'm still making the same disgusted faces as I did during the premiere lol I love it
Blood spilled, Withering, Death Spiral, Instill, shell.. definitely my favorite tracks. This album goes insanely hard. Type of album you listen to at the gym all the way through.
Definitely blasting this at the gym with a permanent stank face.
i thought it would be a good idea to listen to this album super stoned and I honestly started crying during the first song from how destructive and beautiful this album is
I'm planning to take some mushrooms listening to this while watching the visualizer. Quick visit to the center of a blackhole and back safely. Can't wait
Yep it has to be the Heaviest album of all time because it has genius riffs and relentless drumming but what makes it for me is the RIDICULUS production!!! Best HLB album since self titled!
At this point the only other bands I can think of that could come close to HLB's sheer levels of heaviness would be Frontierer or Black Tongue (and Vildhjarta of course) but Ashen is just in a league of its own right now, unreal.
Bro! Thanks for the recs, blasting both bands right now, never heard of them before. This Black Tongue shit is pure evil, and Frontierer is the angriest band I hear since Converge or DEP.
Great bands … Black Tongue, Infant Inhalliator and Mire Lore
Frontierer is WILD
This album took everything I liked about black tongue, especially the atmosphere on Eclipse, and took it to 100
I'm never gonna be the same as well dude. These words describe it all. The raw emotions I got from the premiere and pure joy from listening to it on repeat after.
It was an incredible time in chat with y'all last night! What a brainmelting album. :D
Baaaaacooooon!!! ❤😊 Truly it was.
@@nissyenarts Niiiiisssssyeeen 😍🙌
12:08 is straight up Fractalize and I love it
this has been my grieving and depression album as late as i deal with a breakup, i cant explain how cathartic this is when your emotions are fucked up
I feell you bro, there are certain feelings that only music this heavy is capable of managing. Pure catharsis! Stay strong buddy
It is too painful to talk about, but I had the worst week of my life leading up to the release of Valde by these guys. I remember listening to "Spectre" and there is a fading in chug section in the song and it was the first time I had smiled after some heavy shit and a ton of self hatred. So I know what you're saying. I actually cried a little the first time I heard that one riff in Burden Bearer.
Incredible night and 100% felt that hangover as well. AOTY for me
Klasccoli for world president!
All hail Lord Klasccoli 🙏🏼😌
Just finished listening to the album. Tension is a word that keeps coming to mind. I was engulfed in it while listening, but, strangely enough, completely at peace. This album is so jaw-droppingly good.
By FAAAAAR my favorite album this year (even thought Invent Animate still holds the spot for track of the year with Without a Whisper)
Something is definitely in the sky and water in Sweden.
Something ancient that air breathes.
9:35 - literally my reaction when i've heard it :D
And it stanks even harder
Black Tongue - Nadir if you haven't already
HLB is next level. easily one of my favorite albums of this year so far, likely gonna end up in my top 5.
favorite non-singles are probably Lifeless Deathless, Catastrophize, Shell, and Bearer. Passage was my favorite of the singles :)
also, hearing the Death Spiral riff and instantly recognizing it from the little teaser all that time ago was a fun experience haha
Catastrophize has got to be one of my favorite tracks of the year!🔥🔥🔥🔥
This now at this point in time, Ashen takes my #2 spot for my top albums of the year!🔥🔥🔥🔥
and first?
@@joanriera99Of course Taylor Swift
@@joanriera99 currently Signs of The Swarm - Amongst The Low and Empty, but Ashen at this point now, might be taking the crown
Saw them live last year in Helsinki, it was 💥👌🏼🤩
Oh and btw @DrewFortune97 - I just have to say, that in many ways , this album is defining your trip too. I remember one of your first reaction videos, and followed, listened up untill now. You are doing an AMAZING job. I think, mostly because, it seems to me as your musical boundries was pushed, because you openened your heart to it. Back when Tool was changing your perception of what the more heavier genre was made of. To see through noise, and find beauty. Truly inspiring and very fun to watch as a musician.
I think you had a journey..towards better in many aspects. And for what it´s worth. You are amazing at this. There a small handfull of very genuine people doing this. Pure musical souls. You need to have somekind of life experience, good or bad, to come this far. So...
Thank you for sharing Drew. Thank you so much. If you EVAR become SUPA famous and end up in Denmark. Were going for beers, my treat!! And bring @SteveOGRock aswell.
You guys, allthough humble, take space in peoples lives and actually become like an integrated part of the things, that we actually like to do. That is..meaningful.
SO - that´s MY reaction...pinned right back. Keep it going. Cheers!
Thank you so much man❤️❤️
5:14 Buster uploaded this riff like year ago, i was hoping it will end up in a song.
9:34 That was also riff uploaded year ago.
8:08 / 11:29 How do you even make riffs like this? His brain has his own laws of logic.
Sounds like a Calle riff, that dude really blows my mind every time i hear him, his style is so outside of the box, usually when im writing something i usually have a vibe or a feeling im going for, but i listen to these guys and i just cant understand whats motivating them to create this, i mean wtf, 😂 its the void. This album is incredible.
@@boykidmanboykidman5420 for sure
Those two riffs (8:08 and 11:29) are so inspired by Fractalize its unreal. World needs more groove like these (for anyone who hasn't heard of Fractalize go check out their track Suneater)
@@SelcraigClimbsare we ever gonna get more music from Fractalize? His sound is insane.
spoke to him in December of last year, he said he was working on a new track
Black Tongue - Nadir is heavy as fuck but HLB is on another level
Goosebumps all over my body....this album is absolutely Insane. Killer! I love it ❤️🔥
Feels like a glorious culmination of everything they've been working on. I'm still excited lol.
It’s up there for sure . It’s definitely the heaviest where you can hear all the elements flawlessly
It's a new style, I like it, I already felt that modern metal was always the same
i had the privilege of listening to the premiere high as balls on an edible. it was an otherwordly experience. AOT-fucking-Y.
After relistening multiple times, and I don’t say this lightly, I truly think Ashen is the absolute heaviest album I’ve ever listened to
It's crazy to think that this guy is casually mixing the heaviest stuff on the planet and just chilling out
Reflections- Willow…. Pretty heavy as well!
First album I’ve heard in a long time that made me go “what fuck is happening?” It’s madness.
Man, today (08/04) is my birthday and they (HLB) released 'Ashen' on my birthday? What kind of birthday gift is this dude? What is the probability of this occurring?
I take this as a straight message from hell to me.
If you love this kind of heavy, you should listen to Black Tongue as well
if you haven't listened to it yet, Black Tongue's Nadir is another great contender for Heaviest Album Ever; definitely their magnum opus for me.
This whole album feels like the world is ending. Some impending doom, apocalyptic shit
I think i felt my pineapple gland vibrate from the intensity of the distortion.
11:43 just listen to that scream melody 🤗
09:37 I'M SO GLAD YOU CAUGHT THE TEASER RIFF!
Im addicted to this album
Danza IV The Alpha the Omega is the only album I can think of that can challenge this one in groove and intensity
After hearing this album slayer sounds life "baby shark" song😩
It’s not super downtuned like HLB or Reflections, but in terms of intensity, Oxidized by Frontierer is pretty nuts.
Would have loved to see the full reaction
It’s available on Patreon if you’re interested!
burden bearer got me emotional as hell 😂
Can’t believe this album created Endcore
it is thall’s child. and my child.
@@Lilith_Reaver it goes like this:
- art
- music
- blues
- rock
- metal
- Djent
- thall
- Endcore
@@zapper4945 👌
Whoever has seen the movie Enter The Void knows how terrifying it would've been if this album were the soundtrack.
You sure it's not "The Void", the 2016 cosmic horror movie? Enter the Void is a different one.
@@mrraimundo130 Yup. Enter the Void, 2009, Gaspar Noe. Without spoiling - even some of the visuals are similar.
Dude holy crap I agree
My favourite Blackholecore album so far
HLB is one of my favourite bands currently and while this album is their heaviest, definitely there are heavier bands out there. Ever heard of Ulcerate? Give a try their album "Shrines of paralysis".
Frontierer make a lotta noise too... they are a slightly different kind of heavy... more messed up and noisy. I can only take them for 3 or 4 songs at a time, but I'm just so happy to know they exist.
gotta listen to strapping young lad
It’s honestly hard to say if there’s a bad/filler track in this. They all just sound so damn good!
had to buy this album. pure gold!
Burden Bearer the heaviest song of all time like holy
Yeah boi. ❤ that album is insane. Passage is still my favourite track but after a few listens blood spilled is up there.
And dude please check out Aussie bois.
Mélancolia- hissthroughrottenteeth
It’s a debut album from them. And it’s siiiiiiiick. 🇦🇺🔥
If their intention was to make people feel uncomfortable upon listening, they have definitely pulled that of for me, in the best possible way
No headache 😅but my ears holy F*** it started and the headphones was shaking off my ears
100000% agree THE HEAVIEST ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE
STEPH 🇮🇪
One day their Heaviness will create a black hole 🕳️
RøT- the Black Pill album is one of my favorite
They had no business making a masterpiece that's so beautifully crafted, yet so disgustingly brutal. Easy album of the year contender
You should know that not everyone likes this music 3/10 will go for it. That's why they are not famous.
@@mannyblackstar it's a genre of music far from the typical 'commercial mainstream' & not as easily accessible, yet HLB manage to amass 150k+ monthly spotify listeners and a huge cult following on social media platforms. From what I've seen, they are very much famous (just not in the same commercial context)
I challenge the heaviness of this album with Nitheful's "The Creation ov God" (its a tough call tho, but a good album to react to Hehe)
what a cliffhanger, where's the album review? 🤔
I love Karmanjakahs Ep so that for EP of the year and HLB AOTY
second half of Bearer is the best riff they've ever made. That shit was straight out of Vildhjarta and I love it so much. This is AOTY, easy
I thought a black hole was the most destructive sound I’ve ever heard. HLB- Hold my beer
You should listen to Watching from a Distance by Warning, super heavy
My new album to listen to when playing Doom :)
Ion Dissonance - Solace, that album is still heavier to me but this is #2
Im calling it...
Blackened Holecore
You definitely need to check out Dysphoria, one of the heaviest band ever, and its from Ukraine ☺
Heard it last night at 2am. It’s so fing disgusting.
Indeed heaviest album of all time tbh. While listening I was like wtf is this witchcraft
Bends in the first song are unholy
it's an amazing album
This album makes me wanna change career to blacksmith so bad
You're my favourite idiot that gives his opinions on the internet
😍🥰❤️
It's pretty good, but I still prefer the styles of Valde and Detestor. Would've loved to hear more exploration into the Vittring sound (one of the most unique metal tracks I've ever heard). Detestor is still the heaviest album ever IMO.
I can't remember who Buster was talking to but he essentially said Valde was him making the music he wanted to hear the most. Whereas he's cooperated more with Calle with this album. I personally don't see how Detestor is even close to as heavy as this, but Valde I definitely see. My one critique of Valde is that it almost got boring at some parts because it droned low notes for the sake of heaviness, whereas this feels genuinely destructive with minimal droning.
Idk, I could see some people falling off the wagon when a band goes in a direction they didn't exactly want, but man, this is exactly what I wanted.
Earthless is my favorite from Valde, but Vittring is definitely a runner up. I enjoyed the lyrics of Dehumanize so much though that it's probably the one I listen to the most.
Forgot how to breath
Vilagvege, by Rorcal.
People can get mad if they want to but it's much heavier, and way more insane than this.
But the WAIT was intense 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Mgla - Exercise in futility....u will thank me later
Yeah we’re probably not going to get something heavier than this for a while so I guess I’ll just go listen to Spilly Cave and let some vibrato massage my ears and brain as I am recovering.
Heavier album? Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch
Completely different type of music. Bell Witch isn't even the heaviest Funeral Doom.
Never heard a production have as phat of an ass as this project🍑👋🏽 GAWD BLESS
AOTY SO FAR.
This sidechain on your speaking is just terrible pls do not use It:(
I just can't seem to get on board with these guys. The whole thing just sounds so over-compressed, messy and almost unintelligible. Shame because I really enjoy Vildjharta.
Instill is still their best song off the album. Rest of the album sounds so repetivite and the same ill give it 6/10
The vocal production isnt upto par either.
Why are you so greedy? You make money from other people's content through patreon and even recordings of streams on twitch are only available to paid subscribers. Are your followers just because they like to follow you can't watch your videos for free?
Vocals are not produced well the instruments overpowers it. It sucks really. I would've bought the album but the vocal production sucks in whole album 😢
Pffff. Not the heaviest and not even good IMO.
Cope and seethe
missed that insane opening riff after the high gain bending notes in Blood spilled. everyone doing these 10min album reviews/listens reactions are missing the heaviest stuff in the album, skipped entire opening of LifeLess Deathless cmon INSANE opening, then proceeds to play the most of the pre released singles sick bruh
