ARCHSPIRE "Drone Corpse Aviator" - REACTION / REVIEW

[@DeanLamb]

The bottom half of olis head was operated by the fx team, it was essentially just a puppet, they had their fingers inside it while filming.

[@1984xeper]

That explains why he sings so fast with that many hands up his as*****. Really looking forward to hearing the whole album and hopefully seeing you guys live in November.

[@holyshiet787]

RIP Dean 🙏

[@fortnern]

Did they use the remains of the head that exploded or was it a different prop?

[@brunocharbonneau5272]

@@fortnern the band actually released a BTS video on how they filmed it. From what I have seen there I think it's a different prop.

[@METALBIRB]

Lol that's awesome. Man I really hope you guys can come out west to Toronto soon (when things get figured out over here lol).

[@galacticriminalx]

This is gonna be good

[@KoarTCN]

Musically, this has to be my favorite song from them so far. The writing on this album seems to flow so much better than the previous albums. We are only 3 songs deep.... Can't wait for the rest

[@hurpdurp916]

For suuuure. They've always been too shreddy for me, insane technicality but the writing never did anything for me, but their new stuff is really clicking, more melodic, more cohesive in general. I fuck with this.

[@sabbathxxl]

So glad you reviewed this! This track is so killer. Pumped for the album.

[@METALBIRB]

Drone Corpse Aviator or Bleed The Future Or Golden Mouth Of Ruin?

[@Ulmaar]

All 3 tbh. Each song have something special about them and they all sound fucking sick.

[@kirandesai1994]

Yes

[@Silentknight1171]

I love that the idea of the video was "What if our heads explode" and they worked backwards from there. This band is just so good. :D Also, I love the glasses those girls are wearing... Id buy some of those.

[@roryphares6192]

My favorite musicians are folks who take the music seriously but do not take themselves seriously.

[@brunowilliam7529]

Everybody talks about speed with archspire, but what makes them really standout for me is their songwriting. It is sooo technical but in a way very catchy and easy to listen to at the same time. That's what most tech death bands struggle with

[@shanebeckthold6659]

The special effects were actually done by Oli's brother and girlfriend! check out the BTS video that Dean put together, gives a bit of insight to the video

[@Unknownusername1004]

I love how even though it’s outrageously fast you can hear every melody in the guitars and even the bassist.

[@codybeinert1109]

These singles make me feel like this upcoming album is going to be like an almost amped or jacked version of Relentless Mutation, almost like Relentless Mutation 2.0, which is super exciting to me :D

[@miasma8166]

I thought it couldn't be cooler than the two previous songs ... I was very wrong. This band is incredibly cool, I can't imagine how much effort and time it took to write such incredible songs. It's not just about speed, it's about melody and variety. They surprise me every time, although I thought I heard the best of music. And I was wrong again.

[@gabmozes7858]

Dude you looked HYPNOTIZED during the whole video ! I can’t blame you, the song is dope !

[@tobibender7475]

dean actually said in one of his videos that most songs are in drop A from the album... so you could play most of the stuff on your 7 string... I would deffenetly dig it... even if its in 2 years or something because you are sadly still a human lol

[@daviddr115111]

Fuuuuuuuck that was amazing! The video was pretty sweet also. But man, those sweaps especially towards the end, fucking great.

[@jacobeberhardt1649]

Seriously the most entertaining music video I've seen in a very long time.

[@ReaperKezia]

Archspire kind of has a Protest the hero vibe guitar wise & I love it. The prog is real

[@Benobot99]

Great choice. Such speed! 🤘

[@Cryptic-1-9-1-1]

holy fuck that's gotta be the best music video ever

[@adecakaship2486]

That's some good shit boys ! The riffs are sexayyyy.

[@weneedmerch]

That little melodic segment reminded me of Fallujah. 3:08

[@peteraldrich1444]

I think this is their best track in a awesome catalog.

[@chrisss3749]

It's just behind a dark horizontal for me

[@craigbillow]

Ayyyyy... Looking forward to this one. This is so comically aggressive. Loving it. Reminder to check out Nightlife - New Low. I promise all the annoying comments will be worth it. These cats deserve to be heard. Totally unique. 🤘✌️

[@BertiLux]

Watched the video a few times now and everytime I still expect Oli to go "go shawty, it's your birthday" when he comes down.

[@SethchristianBand]

1 dislike?! WTH?! I like this reaction video!! I'll give it a like to balance it

[@Laros82]

In the Video the dude literally got his face melted off, yea I feel ya

[@stevenstimac3323]

They are the drone corpses in the video, and the blind doctor is the aviator!

[@brunocharbonneau5272]

Pretty much my interpretation too, someone (from the A.U.M) piloting corpses. This video fits so much with the "lore" behind all of Archspire to me.

[@stevenstimac3323]

@@brunocharbonneau5272 Exactly! The black fluid is "the drip" which reanimates dead corpses. It also drives those that view it insane, which explains the blind doctor, and the assistants all wearing those vision blocking glasses. It's so cool how all their music ties together.

[@brunocharbonneau5272]

@@stevenstimac3323 we're definitely on the same page there.

[@BloodMythos]

Listening to these guys really make me want more from The Faceless. There’s nothing like tech death man

Zenith passage is basically the new Faceless! They have an album coming out soonish too

[@samuelfavata7583]

@@chrisss3749 I back this, because it's the Planetary Duality lineup involved on the new record.

Yea, liked this a lot more than bleed. Looking really forward to the album, but we already know 37,5% :-(
