Archspire - Involuntary Doppelganger Opinion ► Pictures, Noise and Words

[@ExtremeMetalPO]

The entire album is simply perfect. Pure genius...so much hard work and ideas. Every song has its own identity on the album. Definitely one I would give between 95% and 99%.

[@redshift912]

Definitely the best metal album I have heard in a while .

[@WilliamFancyFace]

"I can't even read this fast." Everybody's first reaction

[@johnjohn37371]

You have no idea how many times I have read or heard the "sped up Dethklok" comparison...it's right on. And I think it's a compliment...Brendon Small is an insanely talented dude, like the boys in Archspire...

[@BloodmoonCollective]

If you were to slow it down, you would hear every word perfectly clear, his enunciation is flawless, it's actually disgusting lol

[@rcwallaz]

I tried that and was amazed

[@filteredvitaminsubstance5302]

I know. He doesn't even trip over a single word or even lazily (if that is even a word) says a word. He says it in a solid, clear manner, actually. It's unbelievable.

[@michaelsantangelo7997]

I've seen archspire live a few times. They reproduce the studio recording almost perfectly. Seeing them again this weekend.

[@ethanicuscopernicus6758]

Revocation, Archspire and Rivers of Nihil all at one show? That is incredible

[@micheldahbar2838]

Listen to their 3 albums a few times each and you won't put them down for a while. And they are amazing live. Keep your eyes on the dummer.

[@toomasargel8503]

They are drum cam too in her of this song

[@doobsmcgee]

I’d suggest Human Murmuration next off this album. Or you know what, just the whole album :-P it’s fantastic

[@fieldsoftorment1]

That fucking song is AMAZING!

[@TomMusick]

watch the guitar & bass playthrough videos - when you focus on one instrument at a time it's easier to hear & begin to realize that all five of these guys are super talented and giving at least 110% i bought the cd and listened to it nonstop for months, i still listen to it at work while i drive for 8 to 10 hours a day - it's the most amazing music i've ever heard.

[@Corvus7159]

I recently learned all of their albums are connected, so if you ever take the time to read through their albums (which I highly recommend!) you'll get a neat sci-fi horror story. Just saw them live a few days ago and it was absolutely insane! I actually had to step outside the venue till the next band started, completely drained me.

[@PNW]

Going to see them in December, looking forward to it.

[@nathanlangley6470]

They are awesome live saw them with Infer, Beyond creation, and Obscura. Amazing show, saw them 2.5years ago

[@johnmonroney8614]

Its like if Nathan Explosion really EXPLODED ! B R U T A L !

[@bluntedatbirth1]

This makes me miss Spawn of Possession. React to "The Evangelist," or perhaps "Bodiless Sleeper"

[@ClawCarver]

Always fun to see reactions to this one. "Oh good, it's a lyric video. I can read along... Wait, whaaat?!!" It was your fellow KZbinr John G who introduced me to this band, when this track almost literally melted his face. I checked out other songs and was inspired to buy the album. I do not regret it. As for the lyric booklet, it's only eight pages long, but then there are only seven tracks. You should check out (on your channel or just for fun) the "official karaoke video" for the song Calamus Will Animate.

[@sykoteddy]

Great Idéa, I would also like to see you make a review of the whole album since it's only 30min long.

[@EricdosSantosAKAQ]

He practices circular breathing to be able to growl out the lyrics so quickly.

[@Luemm3l]

Archspire - Calamus will animate (Karaoke video) you can try to keep up with Oliver the vocalist ;). PS. you can also slow youtube videos down via the options (i dunno if that is just working with html5 player though). what next... maybe some WORMED ?

[@Chachekon]

The Mozarts of Death Metal. Period. There is even some actual Mozart in the pre solo of "Remote Tumor Seeker" (Confutatis Maledictis) Archspire is what you get when classical musicians goes technical death ! I'm so glad to know them

[@DerekCarrMusicPhotographer]

These folks are from where I live. I have had many opportunities to see, talk to, and photograph them. They are very talented.

[@keolaq8748]

THE FIRST LYRIC-VIDEO WHERE YOU BOTH READ AND DO HEADBANGING,VERY COMFORTABLY:-) I DETECTED ENGLISH SUBTITLES,ITS VERY HELPFUL,THANKS A LOT

[@DoggoWillink]

React to Behold the Bearer of Light or Destroyer by Inferi.

[@KY1KRR]

the first second I ever heard of archspire was a dark horizontal which had a massive dethklok feel and I fucking love it.

[@lucianomaly7505]

YEESSSSSSS Been mentioning Archspire on so many react channels, so glad to see them finally get through.

[@rheymarvinsalestre4075]

If you would read the lyrics alone, it tells a malevolent story.

[@MLMMovies]

This was the first song I heard from them too and I thought "wow that's fast" but it didn't make me become a fan. Then I watched some reactions of their other songs play through videos and was blown away. Very very technical. If you like technical.

[@zabaziomalka]

I am going to see these guys in December with Inferi, can't wait

[@johnmonroney8614]

Theres something to be said about melody.

[@joshuacoe8235]

I laughed at your reaction the entire video, thanks for the entertainment.

[@jondr]

Relentless mutation is absolutely my favorite metal album of all time

[@CineAmore07]

I know is late, but this band live is amazing.

[@AlexTechNicol]

Proyectos Siderales Always so happy when they come back to Vancouver to play a show. Crowd goes wild for the home town heroes

[@kevinfitzpatrick444]

Wow indeed. The vocals remind me of The Bezerker, sort of gabber grind core band out of Australia early 2000s, assuming you've heard of them but if not check out Forever or Reality, tracks are only like 1 or 2 mins long should give you the impression what sort of music it is

[@JM-ll6hd]

Nowhere near to Archspire. Coming from someome that actually liked Berzerker a bit.

[@user-ie1so5rn5k]

The berzerker had some pretty fast songs too like eye for an eye

[@Benobot99]

Absolutely do more Archspire! I recommend "Human Murmuration" and "Remote Tumour Seeker".

[@35057]

I liked them and I bought their album “relentless mutation.”........... then I saw them live. 😳😳😳😳😳😳. I’m hopelessly hooked now. Even my admittedly jaded concert going buddy said it was one of the best bands he’s seen live in quite some time and said he has since added them to his “must see” list... 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@rattlehead1816]

Mate love ya channel, but you aint done any Therion yet, Please mate there is a double song video of Therion live from 2007, it's a must see, Therion - Schwarzalbenheim & The Blood Of Kingu I'm sure after you watch those songs, you'll be craving for more 😎

[@KRGE41.3]

Half the brain rename itself, REMOTE TUMOR SEEKER.

[@eamonahern7495]

When I joined Deezer, occasionally they would recommend albums based on my likes. The very first song I heard from Archspire was Lucid Collective Somnabulation and I was instantly hooked. The whole Lucid Collective album is top notch, as is the Relentless Mutation album. Unfortunately they've taken their debut album All Shall Align off digital platforms. The production isn't as good but the songs are decent. I wish I could have all 3 albums. They're supposed to be working on a new album for 2020. My favourite death metal band at the moment.

[@PNW]

Maybe they'll remaster the first one now they're getting some attention.

[@sugarymushroom12]

I snagged their first album from Amazon. The digital version. I don't know if they've taken it down since or not. I did get it a few years ago.

[@pasit1738]

This is interesting. Must listen more!

[@Benobot99]

Did you enjoy seeing Archspire perform? It's December.

[@PNW]

Next week, 19th

[@codymeek9774]

@@PNW did you like them?

[@PNW]

They were flipping great, so we're rivers of nihil and so were revocation. By the end of the night it felt like I'd been run over by a truck.

[@makjak111]

Good for you, should be a great show. Just watched it at half speed and yep he hits every word lol

[@Trollvomit]

5:40 & on reminds me of Windir. And Windir is one of the best. (bands/ Valfar alone) Completely different music and I love them both but damn. Someone else must hear some Valfar Windir in there.

[@fictionwerks]

You should check out their karaoke video for Calamus will animate

[@sykoteddy]

I was pretty perplexed myself when I herd it the first time,and it was on GALACTICRIMINALS reaction video. But instantly got curious and wanted to hear more. Funny enough this is my second video with you and already at that other video with Rotten Christ, afterthe video when you said that you like that marching-kind-of-tempo I thought I might recommend that song for you :P Also here, as you probably know by now all their songs are this intense. But for me,this which is their third album and their second album I like. The first one I haven't been consumed by just yet. I was so unlucky that when I discovered them, they just was on tour in europe and their wasn't enough time for me to get to see them live :( How old are you btw?

[@PNW]

I'm 52

[@AnimetalViking]

React to Kernel Panic by Alkaloid. It's the new side project of Morean, the frontman of the German melodic black metal band, Dark Fortress. They are one of the most unique sounding prog/tech death metal bands I've ever heard.

[@sugarymushroom12]

Yes yes. Kernel panic is fantastic. Alkaloid is amazing

[@joiem1634]

He used to rap

[@dimitriid]

You know as long as you're looking at Extreme Canadian Death Metal acts why not check First Fragment? A slightly less chaotic (But well just slightly) but with a bit more of a neoclassical aesthetic to it? Top notch band too check em out.

[@petercrushingc]

Regarding the vocals so fast, it has been done way before in about 93´with Kataklysm and their Ep 'The Mystical Gate of Reincarnation' the first track, even more deep and fast vocals than this. But off course not so technical. Still a good track this.

[@Mad9977]

no matter how good the singer, guitarist and bass player is, it wins and falls with the drums =)

[@Bryan-T]

You should listen to Drain of Incarnation. I think it's the best song they have. I like it significantly more than this one.

[@wgdbi]

You should give Gorod a listen. Try Temple to the art-god.

[@ninoaction]

hey Hedgy, react to Válvera - Demons of War!!! is a Brazilian band from the state of São Paulo, the same as the band Project46

[@makjak111]

Rapture ballet by Witherscape please. Or blood colored by edge of sanity for something more old school from him

[@HeavyMetalLegend217]

Funny you say they sound like dethklok. Because when I heard it the first time I said they sound like dethklok and the faceless mushed together

[@redshift912]

I said the same !

[@kevboard]

lol it looks like you're having a seizure for like half the song xD I never heard this, and not my genre... but I liked the neo-classical elements about it.

[@JM-ll6hd]

Check out more Archspire, Beyond Creation and First Fragment. May end up being a genre you enjoy.

Lucid Collective (the song, not album) is a better introduction to Archspire.

Technically the band is impressive speed wise, I can’t listen to more that about 30 seconds before I’m annoyed.

[@Hoxle-87]

Why are you so interested in the lyrics!? Who cares about the lyrics. Do you think Archspire spends time coming up with the best lyrics they can come up with? If the lyrics meant anything to them they would sing them with a clear voice and slower. It was amusing to see you trying to raed them though. A sign of a lack of appreciation for the intricacies of the song. The weeks or more put in by these mates trying to synchronize to be able to play the song flawlessly. The obsession you had over the lyrics let the harmonious cacophony fly over your head. But true, not every body’s brain can process the layers and layers of fast, complex riffs as the song plays.
