Bokassa - "Burn it All (P.T.S.D.E.A.D)" | ROADIE REACTIONS | [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING]

[@MFKitten]

These guys are friends of mine, and I mixed and mastered a bunch of their early work (everything up to and including the EP they released after their first album). I've listened to every layer of every song more than anyone has ever listened to their music I bet, and the songs still manage to stay catchy after all that repetition. That's rare, I think! I can say they are extremely meticulous, and technically knowledgable too. Jørn is a radio host/DJ over here, and has been for a good while. Their bass player also has awesome solo projects that you can find in his SoundCloud account "Bård Linga". Glad to see more people learning about these dudes, I'm so proud of them, and to have been part of getting them to where they are. Awesome bunch of guys, truly!

[@TankTheTech]

No way! That's killer! And thanks for the additional info on them!

[@MFKitten]

@@TankTheTech slight correction btw, I did NOT master that one EP after their first album. They absolutely SLAY live by the way.

[@hatesossa]

hell yeah! Cool you checked out Bokassa. Was a fan before the Metallica tour. A few song before molotov rocktail: Vultures, Mouthbreathers inc. Only gob can judge me and hillbilly handfishin... Honestly all of their songs are worth checking out if you liked this song. "who the fuck is Bokassa" is also a shirt they have =D Bokassa and Trollfest, my two fav bands almost no one have heard of.

[@GudmundEiane]

Bokassa was the last band I saw live before Covid came, and what a show! Check out Vultures, Moutbreathers Inc.and Immortal Space Pirate for a start. Greetings from Norway.

[@beardandbelly6003]

this is rock as it should be. a bit dusty, not polished too smooth and you can hear the fun behind it every second. great band! thank you for showing it to me!

[@camillaGorilla]

Wow awesome! 🇳🇴 Love that you reacted to a band from my country! They are goood! The music video is so freakin funny ! Its typical that is Norwegians doesn't take ourselves so seriously and we are a bit crazy 🙈 Awesome reaction man! 🙌🏼👌🏼💯🇳🇴

[@camillaGorilla]

I LOVE that you liked this ! 🙌🏼👌🏼🇳🇴🤗

[@MachineGunStudioProd]

This band gives me huge Red Fang vibes and I'm absolutely on board with checking out more of their music.

[@pin-upmariposa412]

Unfortunately you have right. Most people, when I say that I listę to metal, are very suprise. My coworker call IT as devil music. Faen. 😉 This band has very positive sound. I really like it. Great reaction on Great music.

[@X_ch4ng3]

Great reaction! Another Norwegian band that has opened on an Metallicas european tour is Kvelertak (translates to chocke hold/strangle hold.) If you have'nt heard them, I highly recomend you check them out. Funny you mentioned Foofighters, Dave Grohl suposedly is a fan of them. Maybe check out their self titled song kvelertak?

[@beardandbelly6003]

Kvelertak is great, 100%

[@brogge600]

Kvelertak 👌

[@nthnhbsn1909]

Kvelertak are great. Rogaland is one of my favourite tunes.

[@Bapi_K]

Kvelertak is amazing

[@fireandsteel9790]

Yes! Do Kvelertak, but Blodtørst would be my starting point.

[@LunaBianca1805]

I guess, that that "How can you listen to such angry music?" moniker is one all of us metal heads have heard at least once. I personally see great musicianship in the bands I listen to, musicians that I love for speaking up about things I really care about, a scene where I as quite the shy introvert have an easier time to connect with others (because the others at least listen to the same music as I do, it's like talking about the weather ^^') and, yes, music that with it's high energy level or the melancholy captured in it helps me vent the feelings that I tend to bottle up. That and shutting the world out, when I feel like I need that. Others that never gave metal and or other "harder" genres an actual a try, might hear only noise and see a bunch of real aggressive people - I don't. That said, there's really nothing wrong with some good, old garage rock, I enjoyed listening 🥰 Gave me a real nice break from all the bad news blasting from my tv set today. And the way they turned that metal head stereo type on end really was quite funny :)

[@getninjaN]

First time hearing Bokassa and to me they have some Bombus influences. I Love it.

[@bwuhbwuh]

I've discovered Bokassa when they've opened for Metallica and was immediately hooked. Went to see another show of them later that year, headlining club show, and they killed it again. Such a great band. Looking forward to more reactions to them! I think for reaction purposes the best song to react to next is either Captain Cold One (this one has a little bit of gear in the video) or Mouthbreathers Inc. Looking forward to it! ~Bwuhbwuh

[@coustryemmanuel1631]

It reminds me "Red Fang" so much... the music and the video as well. :-D

[@Anna_A__]

Hahaha! It was so much fun! The music the video Everything!

[@chrishtobal]

There are a few Norwegian bands in this genre. Gluecifer, El Caco, Thulsa Doom, The Cumshots, The Dogs and Turbonegro to name a few. There are differences between them, but a lot of it is quite straight forward rock.

[@TankTheTech]

There's a band called The Cumshots? Hahahahaha I'm also super familiar with Turbonegro and had no idea they were Norwegian!

[@albions]

RIP Hank!

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

And Deathhammer:)

[@motorkent]

​@@TankTheTechcumshots are insane and great.

[@timmynoir]

Bokassa really gives me the nostalgia feels for the 80's, kind of the same way Kvelertak does. Who you should definitely check out if you haven't before. Love coming to your channel to see your first time reactions to bands I love and then find new bands to love through you. Would love to see a reaction to Dir En Grey if you've never heard them. Picking apart Shinya's drum set would be fun to hear about. Heyas from KCMO.

[@LeonardoNR]

I've met they thru a web news, bragging bout Lars said he listen to them, I gave it a try and for my surprise I loved them. It's so hard to put them under a single sub genre wing, this song for example, starts with acoustic guitar, to a standard metal based riff, to a hardcore one, with a total pop rock chorus. Not to mention some parts where one guitar play some hard rock rhythm and metal riff all within I have no idea about this band future, if they will change style or still the way they are. Honestly, they mix so much rock genres in a single song that I don't imagine where they would change for

[@Wolf-xu8kx]

This would be perfect listening on my motorcycle, so fun to listen to. Keep Up The Good Work.

[@russelltroute1450]

First time hearing these guys on your channel. I'm loving this!!! Great reaction as always Tank!

[@SpitFireShad]

And yes! 🙌🏼

[@StergiosMekras]

I was sceptical at first but ....yeah, the concept of the video won me over even as the music itself grew on me.

[@andreasschmidt666]

Yeah Great Band See them in 2019 .. They support Metallica on their European Tour Lars From Metallica is a Great Fan 😀😀😀

[@cspooner13]

I think you'd really dig their song "So Long, Idiots". It was one of the songs that you got a little snippet of at the end there, and has a very similar, and fun, sound

[@TheLassenman]

Yessss Bokassa finally :)

[@Andy_from_de]

I found them just recently and immediately thought you would probably like it. Hoped it would get your attention knowing that you are so well connected with Napalm.

[@mRcOOL5YO]

These guys are really awesome live. They kick up a hellova show when they go on. Always a good time. (Band suggestion: Aracane Roots - If nothing breaks, nothing moves) (sadly they disbanded)

[@randalljones4370]

that's a f**kin' TENOR ukulele, lol. .... BC Rich.. man, I passed on a beautiful ''natural' Eagle in the mid-70's, for cheapz This band has a great sense of humor, and it would be nice to hear more of them. Burn it up! sounds so much like the stuff I listened to when I was a kid.. I even hear some Noddy and Slade influences in the vocals/melodies/delivery... but that's just probably me and me alone. Thanks for the intro !!

[@michaausleipzig]

This sounds so cool! Exactly my kind of thing!! Definiyely gonna check them out more! And it's amazing how much sound those three piece hard rock bands put out nowadays (Hint! Hint! 😅😜)

[@Athanais157]

I have seen them 2 times opening for Metallica 2019 and they were awesome🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼

[@armandthevagabond8641]

I hear a little Offspring/FooFighters for sure, and also a little from a Swedish band called Backyard Babies. They (BB) are/were for sure famous in Sweden but I'm not sure if they ever made a breakthrough on the international market.

[@captainmorgan1015]

Been away for awhile, got divorced, she was a bears fan I was a packers fan. Not the reason, she didn’t like hockey either, go Avs. Wasn’t sure if you were looking at older stuff yet just to check it out. I know I mentioned Lazarus AD to you once a long time ago. Didn’t know if you ever checked them out. The song revolution is a banger and if you haven’t checked it out yet please do, I am a huge thrash head and I listen to that song once a day of not more. I can’t thank you enough for orbit culture, that has made my last year and a half or so

[@evokenzyklon5026]

yup!🤘😁🤘

[@blubfiu]

I really love the riff in the intro... It sounds kinda familiar, but I can't put my finger on it :O

[@PsycHoOone]

How the fork didn't I know you had a reaction to this?! I really like Bokassa, this and "Stoner Rock Anthem" are my favourites...so cool, to see some Stoner Rock (or near genre) here, for it's my main genre

[@simonrohrbach2834]

Hey Tank, so that you are so well connected with the people at NApalm Records, i´m once again asking you to react to the solo project by Mark Tremonti. They are also signed under Napalm and bring out a new album at 9/24. So I highly recommend their newest single "Marching in Time". Have a great week! :)

[@TankTheTech]

I do have plans to check that one out soon!

[@brianalberico9171]

Lol, I've got an all black platinum Warlock with a coffin case that I bought for $100 in highschool 20 years ago during my goth years. I plink around on it every once and a while, but have never been able to devote the time to really learning the craft.

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

So cool that you reacted to a norwegian band🤘🇳🇴

[@Boerke]

You hit the nail on the h.e.a.d. when you said I'd like this. Thanks for the introduction! Oh, and first!

[@panossyle1710]

I love the new concept of your channel dude. Thanks to you i found new bands to listen to. I don't know how your video selection works out but keep in mind that the band upon a burning body released a brand new video for the song extermination. Keep up the good work.

[@janfredriksvensson]

Really hyped !!

[@ludlelud3850]

I love this guys since 3 years. Please listen to captain cold one from Bokassa. So gooood

[@Mrlinkwait]

Loved the video. would love you to do a reaction of any Four Stroke Baron song.

[@LorrdiRockz]

Hey Tank! I was also ready for something new, but wouldn't have found this band by myself. And it's two birds with one stone, since I also got to listen to you breaking stuff down :) So thanks, and love from Hungary!

[@brogge600]

Bokassa are great, Love their album covers from their first ep's and singles😅 Walker Texas danger is a favorit, more punk. Another brand new band is "all wasted" from Sweden, just released their debut album and it's riducullus good metal from gothenburg.

[@brogge600]

THE song "Five finger fuckhead" is great to 😂

[@btlarsen]

The vocalist Jørn has his own show on the Norwegian radiochannel Radio rock

[@bewareofmywrath5276]

That really was the pick-me-up I needed today! 😄 Such a throwback sound, but unique and new enough to enjoy. Like you said, they could tour with the Foo Fighters. And I also got some Weezer vibes 😆 Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

[@ejorbe]

Just discovered this band with you, and I WANT TO HEAR MORE!!! haha not really screaming at you haha

[@SpyralHax]

Lately I've been jamming a ton of Skarlett Riot. The smooth, female fronted kind of hard rock that just hits right. And for those into more of a punk sound, the German band Fahnenflucht is absolutely amazing.

[@wrriddle]

Welp, looks like another album to buy. Garage music for you, house cleaning music for me (goes in the same folder on my player as Blink182, Die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen, Anthrax, Bad Religion, The Offspring, Toy Dolls and a few more).

[@Ghost_in_the_Rain]

I also have a BC Rich Warlock with a similar design! Got it way back in freshman/sophomore year of high school; she's a good one 😌 On another note, I went through a whole evolution during this song lmao. Started out not really digging it, but I wound up loving it by the end! Thanks for sharing this with us!! 🤘

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

Bokassa is really good 😁 I have their second album on vinyl. Mouthbreathers Inc. is another great song

[@m_nivon1652]

this was great, never heard of them before but definitely gonna check their works now.

[@tobyb.5992]

This was great. Still heavy but easy to listen to.

[@themplar]

Really liked the song itself. Sounds fun. Would say when Load Metallica meets foo fighters. Cool to see Metallica supporting Ghost now. :P

[@spwitti7232]

This took me back to playing Tony Hawk's on PSX... Those were good times... The video is absolutely brilliant! haha Thanks for the video, Tank!

[@TankTheTech]

Seriously, this sound was tailored for a Tony Hawk game. Hahaha

[@jamesrawlinson9500]

They are ace Mate saw them last Friday in London…check out Captain Cold One 🤘

[@kimeklund8880]

EVERY HOUR KILLS ft Vildhjarta - Intransigent

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Tank i was at the metallica show Twickenham stadium, London 2019 when Bokassa opened with Ghost 2nd on. They were pretty good but the sound was shitty. I took home a stack of Metallica emblazoned pint glasses tho, i had to cos i'd already drunk all the beer out of them so it was the right thing to do :)

[@nathesford9701]

If you're looking for stuff you probably haven't checked out before Diablo Swing Orchestra are an interesting group and they just put out a new song War Painted Valentine that is heavy and weird. But since the video is animated and doesn't have any actual gear in it I'm also gonna shout out a song from their last album Superhero Jagganath which is hard mode for gear because it's all shown in quick, trippy cuts.

[@wrriddle]

I like the song Black Box Messiah, but that's even more difficult to watch. Nice to see someone else here who likes DSO. :)

[@ControllerOfMinds]

Normal cool dudes rocking out - scared, ignorant country side dude looking in, seeing satanists :'D Greetings from a Norwegian, nice of you giving non-Norwegians a lesson in my language! So cool =) And yes, Bokassa is damn good. "Captain Cold One" is a great song. Still pleading for (your first time, I'd assume): Parasite Inc - Once And For All (German melo-death rampage!) Vreid - Wild North West (the landscape, the sound, the outfit...!) Warbringer - Silhouettes (best 2nd wave thrash out there!)

[@govannibarrett]

I also listen to certain genres for specific situations. I think the music I enjoy the most are the songs you can listen to on a late night drive, no matter the genre. New sub here 🤘🏽Im just gonna throw a request out there for ya: At Night it Gets Worse by Circa Survive. They're my current favorite band. Great video!

[@markmurray2235]

Hey Tank, Any chance of taking a listen to the band that will be supporting them on tour "Florence Black" The best band in the UK at present and they've just released their first album which rocks 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Suggested songs... Sun and Moon One Way Out Can You Feel It.... And of course their awesome cover of Breadfan 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@motorkent]

Killer band🎉🎉

[@thegeekysaga]

Oh hey, look - the band is from my hometown.... lol. Also - "Faen" is the *mildest* profanity you can say in Norwegian; it's akin to "damn" in English... so "Faen ta deg" is more like "Damn you" ;p

[@TankTheTech]

Really? Is it a regional thing? Don’t get me wrong, I’m NOT questioning you whatsoever, I just heard from a couple people it can also be used as “fuck”.

[@thegeekysaga]

@@TankTheTech Maybe; I suppose some may use it like English speakers use "fuck" - but ...we *also* use 'fuck' in Norwegian, though spelled "føkk" - which in turn demotes "faen" to be more like "damn" in most cases. If you yell "Faen!" when you stub your toe - it would be used like "fuck" in the same scenario. But if you say something like "for faen" - it would be used more like "dammit" :)

[@Kraakesolv]

@@TankTheTech Geeky Saga is spot on. Fun fact, fuck is Norwegian anyway, or rather old Norse. Fokka mean to hit/punch/beat which in turn was slang for the sex act, to fuck.

[@TankTheTech]

@@thegeekysaga Oooooooh.

[@chrishtobal]

As a fellow Norwegian I agree with Geeky. The influx of English swear words into the Norwegian language has taken a lot of the sting out of the traditional Norwegian expletives.

[@jamesboulerice4968]

I'm huge into Metal....but if I'm in a barn cleaning stalls it's 100% country on the radio. I figure if the horses like it then so can I. Totally with you on the genre depending on the situation. Also, call me crazy but I was getting mad Wheezer vibes from this lol.

[@starsword-c2534]

Just good, solid heavy metal, bit of crossover thrash influence like you said. I can totally see why Lars Ulrich would have liked them enough to tour with.

[@jamesfligor6859]

Reminds me of Kvelertak a little bit

[@grimd2593]

hey tank would u ever consider reacting to other KZbinrs? one of my fav cover song creators on youtube is called Skar production and also covers everything from, lord of the rings, video games to Disney all in an awesome heavy metal fashion, he is Norwegian but is also sings clean vocals for a german metal band wich name escapes me :p he also mostly plays all instruments himself. would be awsome to see you react to him at some point :D

[@grimd2593]

Equilibrium was the name of the german band :p

[@SpitFireShad]

6 minutes in….will Tank name both sets of gear (black metal instruments too)? Time will tell my friends.

[@maggaw9869]

Tank The Tech great song Piece Of My Heart - Steven Seagulls & NOORA LOUHIMO Live Finland 2021. NOORA great voice ( Battle Beast ) Familiar Hell official video....Black Ninja, ..Eden...

[@jonaserfors6901]

Great video as always! Sounds a bit like kvelertak, another band from norway. check them out to if you havent already,

[@alextol9950]

This was a lot of fun but the clip helped a lot with that. There are still people who listen to metal and only hear the Devil singing. They do not listen to the lyrics or the message but immediately go for Devil worship. There have been movies made highlighting this, usually Christian movies, and watching them is either hilarious or depressing. One such film is 'Rock it's your decision'. This 'movie' has been rediculed by many, rightly so, but you can probably find it on YT if you want it. I would recommend you watch one of the many riffs out there should you want to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnbWmWZjnZaCpZI I especially love the examples of Devil music they give at the end.

[@eriklind3150]

You should check out "Captain Cold One" With them 😁👍

[@thecryt4766]

You should also check out their prievous Albums Divide & Conquer and Crimson Raiders :)

[@thecryt4766]

[@davidhenriquez4939]

If you found this video funny, I recommend you watch the music video for the song "Metal By Numbers" by BRIAN POSEHN (not for a reaction because I don't think there are many people interested) but I'm sure you will laugh a lot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZnMh4CojLJ7odE If you don't know him, Brian Posehn is indeed a comedian, but this is a super serious band, which includes Antrax guitarist Scott Ian.

[@TankTheTech]

Oh I love Posehn. Haha

[@davidhenriquez4939]

This is the second time i've heard this song as well as the band. I didn't enjoy it first time around at all, second time around I don't absolutely hate it but the pop/punk sound is one of my least favorite sounds musically.
