Alex's screams are super underrated too. She killed it

[@x_the_fucking_dead_soul_x9687]

at the same time it's normal before joining Make Them Suffer Alex was formerly the singer of the band "Drown This City" it's something I discovered at the end of the year last year and I think it's really worth it worth checking out because this band is absolutely killer and Alex has an absolutely beautiful and phenomenal voice at the same time 🤘🔥

[@StevelandCleamer]

She’s such a great addition to the band for sure

[@firstdown1565]

Women shouldnt scream in music....They do it enough already in real life

Epitaph by @ItsDrewsif is fire

[@berlinetta350]

Close but no cigar. An epitaph is the collection of words what is written on your tombstone in remembrance.

[@Sam-uu2nx]

Epitaph is a record label. I was expecting some kind of joke there but haven't seen one 😢

[@CottidaeSEA]

Honestly, what is that way of typing out what something is supposed to sound like? It seems really dumb, but I see people use it very often.

Man somethings should never change the surprised Nik face the love of break downs and Make them suffer playing loud music with lots of lights in some random parking garage.

100% MTS opens with this

[@jamieheslop2750]

Saw it live in Adelaide a couple of nights ago and it was INSANE live. They supported BMTH and Sleep Token, yeh it was epic, and Oli gave MTS a huge shoutout stating "That band will be fuckin' massive". I'm so glad they are really picking up some fans after a decade of the grind!

[@JitsKamps]

The chants are the most motivating thing I’ve heard in a while, gym goes crazy with that part.

[@chonkbadonk]

I like how the chorus comes out of nowhere. I dont want the exact same formula every time

[@KosmicNomad]

It comes in too soon, and is used too often

[@Sam-uu2nx]

​@KosmicNomad I feel like they want radio time with this one. The choruses make that a possibility on some stations I think. Just a thought

[@KilljoyGatecrash]

@@KosmicNomad yea i agree its good but too often. I want more brutal before the clean

[@Chazorian]

Yeah, like sometimes there's short silence before the first chorus or there's short silence and breakdown!...then chorus.

[@AyyFuji]

I'm seriously so happy to be an Aussie when Polaris, Alpha Wolf, Northlane, Make Them Suffer, all of our bands are popping off and making some of the best stuff. Alex's chorus sent me, I was hooked with the heavy, and the chorus blew me away. LET'S F'ING GO!!!

[@nu_metal_rules6969]

The Make Them Suffer singles have been straight bangers, ima be waiting for new album from them

[@patrickstar6247]

Chorus is super earwormy. Love it.

[@monkeymita]

Absolutely love learning about bands through your channel. Being able to get more n more into metal and learn of these bands that have been making music for ages is like opening a treasure chest of new music to absorb. Thank you Nik!!

[@themighty4587]

Make Them Suffer are well on their way to taking over from Parkway Drive as the number one Australian metal band

[@KR7PT]

Long done Parkeay have ascended to a classic Aussie metal band but MTS and Polaris are both so so fucking good, different kind of music being Metalcore vs more like Rock Metal (even pirate metal kinda)

[@rosshonicke3318]

Polaris is definitely up there as well

[@CasualChaoz]

Nik you got me on Make Them Suffer with one of your try not to headbang video's ane since then I went through their whole discography and just fell in love. From Neverbloom to How To Survive a Funeral and all the singles they quickly become one of my favorite bands. I can't help but love everything they releas, but nothing hits like Old Souls or Worlds Apart for me. Those 2 albums will always be my go to, so it was nice to hear elements of those albums in this new single. Really excited to see what else they have in store this year!

[@webster439]

This slapped live last night. They were supporting sleep token and BMTH

[@webster439]

Will admit, sleep token musically were great but the complete lack of any interaction with the crowd sort of muted the experience. They need to lean into the mythology of the band or something to make it more engaging. Then you get a masterclass of lead singer, interaction with oli sykes

[@ziggybadans]

So excited to see them tomorrow, gonna go so hard

[@fav0ur1te_r3gret]

@@webster439thought the same thing!

[@AgentLayla526]

was at the same concert! so sad that there weren’t more people in the crowd for them

[@manonmaugeais5305]

@@webster439 I saw them on Sunday and I agree, although they are musically impeccable on stage they just lack this interaction with the public. If I am being completely honest, I zoned out during one of the song at the end. They are still amazing though, but they just need that little something to keep you a bit more captivated. But yeah, Oli's stage presence is just second to none!

[@GameZedd01]

The female vocalist coming in like that reminds me of Skillet. I really wish Skillet let Jen Ledger sing more like they do here. She's one of my favourite female vocalist and I loved her solo album

[@DarkMustard1337]

Alex coming in as a top notch 2nd vocalist, like an unwanted pregnancy she killed it.

[@lukelegg9915]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrSir2552]

As a 26 year old, I can’t wait for this album to drop on my 38th birthday

[@forgotmyaccount]

I like your optimism

[@rysirion_9102]

Actually same, been a fan of them since randomly seeing them live in like 2014 or something opening with Neverbloom, my mind was blown. And this definitely pays homage to the older vibes I think

[@andrewwestfall66]

I was bobbing my head to this on my lunch break and food just fell out of my mouth when the breakdown hit I gotta stop eating when I watch these videos

[@manonmaugeais5305]

I just saw them on Sunday with BMTH and this song is an absolute banger live!! And agree with all the comments saying Alex is killing it, she is an absolute beast and her presence on stage is incredible.

[@theunexpectedua]

Short but sweet, yet this is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. I love MTS, they're up there with Northlane when it comes to making some cool metalcore music. This band never released a bad song ever since Worlds Apart (2017). And yes, they are bringing that trance-core back! And I'm here for it. Giving me the Stand Up And Scream Vibes all over again. Alerion

[@lunethias]

I love how purely FERAL, PISSED, SNARLING, Alex's screams are.

[@ItsGothamsJoker]

Damn. I need to start listening to this band now. This slapped so hard

Saw this live on Wednesday, was absolutely phenomenal! Seen make them suffer 12 times now over the years, going to a gig feels like going home at this point!

[@Werewolf914]

They've been on my list but I've never listened to them before, but I loved this maybe it's about time I listen to more of them, Symphonic Metal is my favorite Subgenre so you put strings in and I'll probably love it 😆

[@parkourandfreerunning4214]

Listen to the Neverbloom album. It's has more symphonies. They were Blackened Symphonic Metalcore back then

[@thyweebhub]

One personal criticism of mine about this song I will say was the initial chorus drop in your face and then it repeating itself to the point it was a little repetitive (like Nik said they could have maybe added something in between those spaces and do some a little different or unique). Other than that it’s a solid banger to me👍🏾

[@frogzx]

Neverbloom has some issues for sure but MAN do I still love that album.

[@Elegies22]

Not hating but what issues?

Absolutely zero issues. Fck you on about

[@jonatanmarklund7473]

The chorus is actually what hypes me up the most about this song, makes me want to sing, cry, mosh and throw down all in the same time. It builds it more then the shuggs and circus riff in this one imo

It was fun watching you make this video as I’d seen them the night before play the song live and was still awake from adrenaline!! They were fucking awesome!!

for people who don't know yet Alex was once a singer in a group called "Drown This City" before joining Make Them Suffer and honestly I advise you to go and see because it's really worth it I recommend you songs like New Burn Order, Gemini, Borderline Existence, Carbon 14, Stay Broken, In Your Image, Void, We Are Not Dead and more if you need but their whole album is fantastic 👍🤘

[@benpowell5348]

i bet this isnt even along your typical vein, but I heard you mention admiring the synthy/symphonic sound followed by low screams and typical metalcore, and I immediately thought of the newest Starset song that just released. Usually I wouldnt mention Starset here as they've usually only got half a foot in the door of metal genres but their newest song went all in.

[@ShellShock794]

I was the tiniest bit let down with the fact that this song doesn't have a crazy breakdown or something in the middle (like you mentioned) but honestly, we all know that MTS can absolutely BRING IT when they want to and I don't actually think every single one of their songs needs that. It would end up being way too formulaic. Songs like this still go HARD and it's good that they have some variety
