ABSOLUTELY FLOORED - Rivers Of Nihil "Subtle Change" - REACTION / REVIEW

[@METALBIRB]

I've come to the conclusion that every metal band needs a saxophonist.

[@trowabarton222]

This album is an epic masterpiece. You definitely need to hear it in its entirety.

[@wandacole5784]

One of the best metal album ever made.

[@daanishafzal5171]

Definitely listen to the album in its entirety! There's a flow to the album that makes everything just sound that much better!

[@stephenhowes6586]

Check out Clowncore

[@ainadupuis2651]

If you want the ultimate saxophone experience checkout Trioscape which has Dan Briggs in bass who is part of Between The Buried And Me and 3 other bands too, the Saxophone player did guest spots on btbam songs too and the drummer is jawsometastic to the max yo! 🤘😎🤘🌷🖤

[@XxPoisonedSpiderxX]

fire alarms going off around 6:00 and he’s just like “fuck that there’s sax.” absolutely love it

[@jen.g.]

I fucking LOVE this album. It’s not even fair how good it is. It was one of my faves of 2018, along with Zeal & Ardor’s “Stranger Fruit”.

[@JBawlin]

Great taste & 100% facts.

[@RustyGonzo]

It was tied with Slugdge's Esoteric Malacology for me. 2018 was just such a great year for metal overall. Hath's breakout LP was nuts, too.

[@jbasti227]

@@RustyGonzo Slugdge’s record was amazing, Conjurer’s Mire was also one of my favorites records of 2018

[@SoroISF]

I've seen this recommendation from you a few times but never have checked it out. Guess I should finally get on that! Can't wait to see how the boys follow this one up.

[@mm31740]

This album is epic start to finish man 💯

[@xavierdube6520]

a modern prog masterpiece

[@jbasti227]

@@xavierdube6520 I feel like when we all first heard it, everyone knew it was an instant classic

[@ZuccAF]

He should Just react to the whole album at this point

[@DarkMustard1337]

I only play my main favorites now buy my first few plays were great.

[@blazingboy42]

This should be an example to show bands of any genre to not be afraid to take risks

[@aycaramba4910]

I'm seriously shocked that you've never listened to Where Owls Know My Name in it's entirety!? This album takes you on an incredible & magical journey. It's just a masterpiece from start to finish. I'm usually not a death metal guy but after listening to this album for the first time I just had to get a physical copy of it. For sure one of my best purchases ever. Still listen to the album every other week. It's that good.

[@surtrgio]

I always thought Subtle Change was the standout track of the album that was always underrated/never suggested. You more often than not see people recommend the usual tracks like silent life, a Home or Where owls know my name which in itself are banger.

[@christopherblowers443]

Death is real

[@1SecondToLight]

I would rather recommend Hollow, since it seems more... radio-friendly with a clear chorus. Their singles are absolute bangers though.

[@CyberVenomAenima]

Subtle Change is without a doubt the best song on it

[@davidturner734]

Discovering the band now, I think this is the strongest track by far.

[@xavierbonilla1164]

I’m a HUGE rivers fan! They are super awesome dudes as well! Each album is based off a season. This album was autumn which means their next album is “winter.” 😍

[@sebaschanable]

Ooh I like that! I do get that vibe when I listen to it. Now I want to hear the next since I love winter as well as autumn!

[@nameman4166]

2 days till their first single off the winter album releases! It's premiering on yt!

[@pablorodriguez4765]

2018 was a great year for Death Metal. Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology was another great album from this year.

[@jbasti227]

That was an such a great album. I’m looking forward to Slugdge’s next release

[@ThatGuyAlex69]

@@jbasti227 dude I'm always checking for new slugdge content. Also inferi has some sick product out

SALT THROWER

[@bigbunn_]

Bruhhh I could never remember the name of this band, thank you. I've only listened to this album and it was amazing. Thank youuu

[@jimberjamber8540]

This whole entire album is an absolute journey. The first time i listened to it i felt like i was transported into the realm they were singing about.

[@ryans8907]

YESSSSSSSSS. I have been trying to get so many reaction channels to do this song. So happy you did!!

[@waregl72]

If you haven't seen it yet, themusicrecordingnetwork did a reaction to Subtle Change. It hit just a couple weeks ago I think.

[@sludgebud]

This man went through so many emotions. haha Damn, I love music. Such a sick album.

[@bigbunn_]

I goddamn love this album so much. The saxophone is just beautiful on this album, it adds so much "flavour", this album is a death metal masterpiece.

[@TundraCH]

First listened to this album in 2018, and it will probably remain a part of my life, for the rest of my life

[@danipapp786]

Reaction tip: Fallujah - The Void Alone

[@martyrogers8629]

YEEESSSS

[@Simpaiii]

YES! Owls & Dreamless are 2 of the greatest albums I had the pleasure to discover in recent years.

[@BigPantMusiclover]

I was so late to this album, I knew about it when it came out but I didn’t listen to it, I finally did a few months ago and I was absolutely blown away, had I listened to this album when it first came out, it no doubt would’ve been my album of the year for 2018, an absolute masterpiece

[@Kay_Elis]

That album cover is amazing

[@Rose-From-the-Dead]

Oh, hell yes!!! My favorite song of theirs.

[@SoroISF]

If I had to request one final song for this album, check Hollow. I slept on that track for so long, but now it's my favorite. No sax, but a beauty of a chorus. If you have already listened to it, then cheers! Love this album.

[@dcfromthev]

God these guys need to tour with BTBAM, such amazing musicians and similar styles especially on songs like this.

[@wyattburns1736]

now they are this summer lol

[@dcfromthev]

@@wyattburns1736 I couldn't believe it, bought tickets for the Sac show the day they were available!!!

[@alispie]

This is the song that got me. Took me a while, but I fell in love with this album so hard that I have a tattoo idea inspired by it that I plan on getting done

[@WOLLIP]

i was the girl that recomended where owls know my name when you reacted to it haha i remember you thanking me in the video, this channel has come a long way!

[@forevermarked5826]

Girl, you are a cutieee😍. Just had to say. Have a good weekend

[@WOLLIP]

@@forevermarked5826 thank you lol

[@shawnlupori8042]

One of my favourite bands of all time

[@galatiangod]

Bro the beeping in your vid made my adrenaline kick in. I thought my fire alarm was going off. Great reaction btw

[@5PctJuice]

My opinion on this song and album has evolved so much since the first time I heard all of it. From a purely technical standpoint, this is the album's high point. Thematically, Hollow is probably my favorite just because of how well it captures the tragedy of the album's story. And from a personal enjoyment stance, Capricorn/Agoratopia is easily my favorite track. I don't dislike a single track, which is kinda rare for me. I'm usually able to find at least one part of an album I straight-up don't like, but this one makes it hard.

[@Bryanmeyer26]

Such an Epic Album! i love Old Nothing !!

[@SlipsJDR]

This album, alongside Whitechapels The Valley are the only albums I've given 10/10s to without hesitation.

[@monkvsiron]

One of my all time favorite live sets honestly. Saw them with Lorna Shore and FFAA and these guys musically were just another level

[@mojuy11]

One of my all time favorite songs, so damn good

[@samuelfiello9558]

I definitely think you would like A Sense of Gravity- Revenant/Guise of Complacency (Full Band Playthrough). It is super proggy, and has a BtBAM quality to it.

[@daffyrwt]

A couple months ago a coworker recommended this album, I listened to it and was instantly blown away. I've yet to revisit the album since but I will definitely get the album.

[@daanishafzal5171]

So happy you got to this man! Killer track of a modern classic of an album

[@BobaVett]

I made pretty all the same faces you made when I first heard this track. Absolutely masterful. Can’t get enough of these guys. So fucking Atmospheric. Takes you somewhere completely other worldly.

[@matheusguilhermoni1441]

There is something really mystical and curious about that cover, combined with the magical trip that is the song, just feels so good, and im not a huge death metal guy but this was something else!

[@ryanhernandez3300]

One of my favorite metal albums

[@wendell2809]

This band is absolutely amazing!

[@suveersingh2871]

Im putting my money on this album being the next IOWA tier

[@ThaVipaa]

i haven't heard this song in a while but goddamn its so good and 9mins went so fast

[@bawbskates8639]

I share your joy every time I hear this album. It’s so good.

[@Laros82]

Hell Yes! Finally more Rivers!! When I saw it on the Poll I voted immediately without even paying attention to what else was on there lol. The only thing that makes me sad that I read there won't be any saxophone on the next Album... Hope it isn't true but I'm mentally prepared🥲

[@godwings101]

This made me feel things at parts of it i can only call elation. Such an absolute masterpiece of a track.

[@jimmyneutron9351]

Song so good it set of the fire alarm halfway through 🔥

[@Selkirk69]

I would actually have this take the Pepsi challenge with Black Water Park in beauty and complexity.

[@Panda_SMM]

River of Nihil is such a good band dude, can't get enough of this album for sure.

[@animal1439]

I know it's a small thing, but this might be my favorite album artwork of all time

[@maxbarker3685]

Oh man this is such a fucking banger, if you'd like to listen to some more rivers of nihil, try Old Nothing. Can't wait for their new album !

[@elijahkoblan-huberson9666]

[@paravarium]

Amazing album.

[@jrbaconcheez]

"I loved it so much that I didn't listen to the rest of the album"

[@codyeakinsbradley]

Just wait until you have to listen to all the albums front to back to get the seasonal aspects. And the not so subtle on the nose irony of the song title is what tops the cake

[@ethanoconnor1773]

This is the earliest I’ve ever been

[@noahriva]

same wth

[@alexst3232]

Same haha and I have never even listened to this band lol

[@Fox_Pajama]

This entire album is masterclass.

[@Luemm3l]

you gotta react to more RON, either Sand Baptism, Airless, Circles in the Sky, A Home or maybe Rain Eater_

[@m00n_g0d]

You should check out their album a Monarchy as well. It's not as refined as WOKMN but it's still a really great effort. No sax though

[@Deato9000]

You should definitely check out Crack of Light by Vintersea. Definitely a lot of fun, similar vibes to this

[@tristanmatheny2361]

My favorite track on the album

[@jitteryzeitgeist]

Since you're doing older stuff, maybe you can do some Stray from the Path? Specifically the song "Snap" from Subliminal Criminals? Hardcore punk more brutal than half the metal out there.

[@noahriva]

metalbirb is starting to look a little bit like sir wiseman with the hair… suspicious🤨

[@christopherblowers443]

RIVERS OF NIHIL- DEATH IS REAL
