Bring Me The Horizon - Kingslayer ft. BABYMETAL | Musicians React

[@mikeschimminger7886]

The autotune was by design. Su does NOT need autotune to hit notes. It makes her sound more robotic which fits the theme of this song.

[@dicodec]

We agree

[@kamotskykir]

Yeah lads, Mick Gordon produced this record, so that's why you're getting DOOM vibes.

DUDE, I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG. PLEASE SEND HELP. What a masterpiece man. Even tho this isn't a Babymetal song, you can definitely hear elements of their songs. It's not just them throwing Su's vocals here and there. I just wonder, is there gonna be a day where a listen to a Babymetal song, and really not like it? Because I really can't get bored of their stuff. Great reaction guys! 🦊🖤

Oli= Angel BM= Cutie Devils

[@Arnamoo]

Oli (Lead singer) is a big fan of Chester Bennington and he said that Hybdid Theory influenced this record a lot... The track "Itch for the cure" is an omage to "Cure for the itch" from hybrid theory. You can mash the vocals from one step closer with 1x1 and it fits perfectly... Love this attention to detail ^^

This has been stuck in my head since I heard it the other day, pretty awesome!

[@dicodec]

Same, I been listening all morning.

[@JuanLopez-qx5zz]

I have to say that this is pretty good. Back in their deathcore times, BMTH was quite hated - I remember them supporting Machine Head in the UK and get booed out of the stage and people throwing things at them. They've definitely evolved for the better with this song and even Dear Diary

[@dicodec]

I have to listen to more from this band myself 😁Alan

[@MyBurningEmber1]

I think the autotuned singing went well with the song since it gives it a cyberpunk feel. Heavy and electronic sound along with harsh and autotuned vocals mesh so well in my opinion :D

[@dicodec]

I completely agree! After thinking about it and listening to it all morning, it just works really well! -Alan

[@dicodec]

Agreed sir agreed 😁alan

[@Ramsters]

Something you guys pointed out that I never thought of... Growing up LP was my favorite band and I actually idolized Chester's singing. Oliver Sykes kind of has the same vibe and now I realized why I like BMTH.

[@dicodec]

Yup, they use similar samples as Linkin Park i believe.

[@galaxyheavymetal5292]

the last part of "itch for the sky"' is the intro of kingslayer and su and moa is singing like " i wanna be a kingslayer". Let's check

[@kboanddbo]

Pretty early in the video you said it sounded like some Linkin Park screams. The whole EP has a Linkin Park vibe. The interlude into this song is called "Itch for the Cure", and I'm sure if you look at the track listing on Hybrid Theory you'll see a very similar song title for that album's interlude. The LP influence is not an accident!

[@ashleymora860]

I can’t wait to see them perform this live ✋

[@dicodec]

[@azarashi1996]

What a perfect collaboration song! Awesome

[@ngel001]

I was looking forward to Babymetal part. But I didn´t expect my goosebumbs will tear my shirt up.

[@ANDOR-]

Did you hear the part after the chorus (I think it's around 2.40 Min in the song)? It's such a sick mix with the deep growl and the double bass under Su's voice. You were moshing so hard your headsets fell off :D Absolutely agree with Alan on the auto-tune/effects, especially on Su's voice. Really not necessary, but it's not like it ruins anything. It's just the stylistic choice and how BMTH do things nowadays. It's a great song, but I still think it would sound even better without it. I'm hoping for another collab between the two, but more Babymetal style and not as much electronics/effects mixed in. Which is not to say this wasn't a lot of Babymetal. One of their producers/writers wrote the chorus, lyrics and music, if I understood the interview, in which someone from BMTH talks about it, right. They know each other for 5 or 6 years now and always hung out at festivals and stuff. Olli Sykes said they always tried to make it a bit easier for the girls to feel more welcome in the mostly male backstage areas.

[@dicodec]

@@dicodec Seems like I have to keep my eyes open in the Discord then. Thanks for the heads up :)

[@youtubesucks1885]

There should be more deathcore with clean female vocals. Would be so sick.

[@ANDOR-]

Yes! We need more women and their clean vocals in metal in general. That's what drew me first to Babymetal and that's also a big reason why I listen to more stuff from Japan than "from the west" the last few months. A lot of amazing female metal bands and vocalists there.

[@ConsumptiveSoul]

Awesome reaction 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻

[@keithsowerby8179]

I am told by other listeners that Moa is in the mix, but may be difficult to identify due to the voice effects. I think she can be identified in the Whhoooaaahhh!!! towards the end

[@Kane_SIF]

I think she's also screaming in the "you're corrupted" duo part, but totally unsure.

[@IsoIsak]

@@Kane_SIF She is. I just love how those two voices combines, even if it's hard to tell. Of course, she is also on the track before this one, saying "I wanna be a kingslayer" with Su.

[@keithsowerby8179]

@@Kane_SIF it is hard to tell. A video is hard to make at the moment, but it would be good to see one showing all contributors. Oli has revealed that the BM team contribution to Kingslayer was insanely detailed and complex, and also that they had previously done a demo (presumably when they were touring together) which was never completed.

[@dicodec]

Nice! I couldn't tell - Alan

[@X1xone]

@Prepster M I have been told that the first verse in Japanese is Moa before it switches back to English. It can be hard to tell with they way they have modified the voices, but the more I listen the more I tend to agree that it is Moa.

I was just like that dude in black. Even though Oli didn’t have the best vocals they were indeed iconic at the time. Suicide Season and Sempiternal are my all-time fav’s back in their deathcore days. And then they became pop and kinda fell out of love for them. But this song, and the entire EP has the best of both genres, as well as other elements we haven’t seen from them before. BMTH is really one of those bands leading the modern rock era.

But here some thought, how the chorus will be when you remove Su-Metal's voice? It's impossible. The chorus is the uplifting part of the song, and if Oli were to sing the "kingslayer" part, it'll never be as good as this.

[@mr.osclasses5054]

Great reaction to such a sick song!! I agree that Su's vocals are way too over-processed, but I think they were purposely going for that, stylistically, in this song. The background is that Oli from BMTH (the lead singer) said that he was playing Call of Duty and the fact that you try to get "Kingslayer" status in the game and it's such an achievement to actually hit that it made him think of the song. There's also some political motivations he talks about regarding Trump and such, but it is basically about playing a video game, so the sound of her vocals fits. He also said that as he wrote it, he realized that he was going to be doing screams and growls, and just couldn't hit the notes for the chorus. I think at the time he was writing it BMTH was opening for BABYMETAL last year, so he thought it would be a great opportunity to invite them to collaborate since they have become friends over the past few years while playing different festivals and such. Needless to say, it worked out really friggin' well!

[@loydjp]

If you love the clean vocal and heavy instrument all together, check out this japanese band Mildrage. they're two vocalist male and female, and the song that I recommend is Silent Spear. The female vocalist is amazing and she do the clean vocal and the male is the screamer, but she's can screams too. I really recommend this band, you'd love it for sure :)
