Hey man, Earthside keyboardist here. This is one of the most in-depth reactions to our music, that's super cool. I appreciate you stopping and explaining your musical and technical assessments. Keep doing your thing :)

[@ChaseCarneson]

Wow, thank you so much for this. Honestly really appreciate the validation. Loving your music and can't wait for the next one.

I can't even begin to describe how happy this makes me. Happy because this song is FIRE, happy because so many others loved it (especially many that had never heard it before!), happy because you SHINED, dude. You stimmed, you masterfully broke it down, you felt it....super proud of you, man. Just...thank you. Thank you for loving this as much as I do.

Definitely the best reaction to one of my all time favourite songs - your musical intelligence and intuitive, thoughtful way of deconstruction is phenomenal, plus it's awesome to have a fellow South African doing such compelling reactions of great bands. Had a damn good time watching this. Instant subscription (loved the Juno reaction too, being a long time Daniel Tompkins and TesseracT fan).

[@cyanihilist]

This band does not get enough love. The track from this album with Lajon from Sevendust is absolutely incredible as well.

[@Olphas]

Oh, this was great. Thanks Peachy, thanks Chase!

[@rocioiribe5841]

Big fan of all Dan Tompkins musical projects. My favorite is White Moth Black Butterfly. (very ethereal, ambient music). the "single" would be Rising Sun but I recommend Tempest (there's a video). Also, wouldn't mind at all if you returned to Tesseract! :D

[@jonathanbradshaw2665]

What a gorgeous, dense but airy composition! Never heard of these guys, but I'm checking out more. Daniel 'Midas' Tompkins turns everything to gold and I have to say this is one of the finest pieces I've heard him do. Thanks, as ever, for your quality analysis, Chase.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Daniel 'Midas' Tompkins. Ah. So accurate. 👌

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Never heard of this band before, but I'm definitely checking them out now! Daniel is just as awsome as ever. Yes, you need to get back to Tesseract!

[@waregl72]

Chase, you and I listen to music the same way (although you are much better at it than I am). All the nuances that a lot of people don't catch you do. In a song like this there is so much to take in it is so great that you help explain it and bring to the attention of the masses so those of us that really appreciate all of it can hear it and listen for it going forward. I in fact at times envy those that don't listen to things like I do because it can be distracting and there is a lot said about just sitting back and enjoying the song at "face value". I love this song and Daniel's vocals steal the show for me. That says something too because the band and the musicianship in this song is outstanding. I have gone back many times and watched this reaction over the past year or so and finally had to post something. Keep up the good work man!

[@alexanderweiss4098]

I have been searching for ages for a genuine reaction to this song and I just found your channel now. Thank you so much for making my day Chase. This piece really holds a special place in my heart and your approach to analysing it while still listening to it with an open heart really made me smile. The way you get excited about details and the amount of attention you pay to both the production and the bands work is just so much fun to watch. I have never subscribed to fast after watching a video and hope you have a damn good day good sir!

It was super interesting watching you react with so much passion to a song that I know very well. As usual, I learnt to love it even more thanks to you. I hope Tesseract's Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios) has been suggested enough so that it will come soon on your channel =P I wish Tank would react to it too, there's a lot of gear on display there haha.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Love them! They do similar thing as Ayreon and Apocalyptica where they do the instrumentals and have guest singers. Got to see them live with Leprous. What a show! You should do more Tesseract and other prog groups.

[@nelabellovoda]

I should have known from the moment I saw the title this was going to be hard to watch for me... Like I said, one of my favorite reactions EVER. Chase I don't have the right words to describe this, watching the look in your eyes makes me understand the power of music and how it can help people deal with their deepest feelings. Loved of every second of the video. Thank you so much for this and thanks Peachy for suggesting this, it was definitely the best choice.🙂

Bought this album a couple of years ago, because they totally surprised me (one of those random KZbin recommendations). Love this album, it's permanently in my car.

Thx for another great reaction. Never heard this one til now, but it's definitely making it to my playlist. As you said, this song is working overtime moving you. Really, really nice one!

I follow the band from the beginning since about 2016, and they blew my mind absolutely for the first time. * I'm deraming in static* since then...The whole album is one amazing masterpiece from the start till the end! ❤

Can't wait to hear more

[@chewbunkie7031]

"It's the kinda song I put on while I'm doing other things" bro, found these guys, like, two years ago, maybe?, under youtube recommendations, and that's exactly what I've done. I play this album at least once a month and let Spotify take over after while I'm at work. Earthside is simply wonderful.

[@Krishach]

This is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I didn't even know it was on your radar. Thank you. Fun fact: they also had a track on this album featuring one of the more well known hammer dulcimer players out there: Max ZT, dulcimer player who started House of Waters. Because why not.

[@JimboKM]

Yay!!!

[@7StringSeven]

When I saw this in my notifications I audibly said "Oh fuck yeah". I have liked it before I hit start... I await "The riff". Lets do this.

[@7StringSeven]

Almost there, and I'm fucking excited. Re-living this song is fantastic.

[@leeana6394]

My personal favourite is their song Contemplation of the Beautiful ft. Eric Zirlinger. It’s a pretty long song, a little under 12 minutes, but simply out of this world.

[@AlbinKarlsson333]

If you are doing more Earthside i recommend Crater from the same album but it is featuring Björn Strid, singer in an Swedish melodic death metal band called Soilwork (Which you also should listen too :P). It is also dreamy and i like it a bitt more then this song :)

[@SpitFireShad]

The track with Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust is also amazing. He’s another incredible vocalist.

You know, I used to think that this whole "reaction video" thing was silly, but watching someone who is just as passionate about music as I am... yeah, that gives me such a great feeling. You're a great guy, Chase. If you want to do more Earthside, the song "Mob Mentality" is an absolute must. P.S. love the Spiritbox shirt

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you for having an open mind and supporting.

[@andrewcarter1747]

Well that was awesome, not heard of this band before but immediately went and got the album off Bandcamp.

[@SpitFireShad]

You could react to Daniel Tompkins “Ruins” track from his new album “Ruins” that dropped in December ‘20. I think he’s the best vocalist out there. Welcome to the majestic musical magic that is Daniel Tompkins!

[@rocioiribe5841]

I second this!!!

[@richardschroder1915]

I third that

[@ryanbeatbox]

5:59 , I agree, I think in the context of this song specifically, its really about having dreams but ending up in a never ending cycle trying to achieve them, maybe due to them being too big or some form or obstacle in your way. I think this is somewhat of a relatable theme to life and achieving goals in all of us. We have some kind of goal or dream in our mind, and we envision it there, and it's innocent. I think the main character is a representation of this idea. I could be looking way too deep into this, but I do understand this song is essentially about chasing a dream that you can't necessarily achieve, the main character being a representation of hope, aspiration, and the villain in the video being a representation of time mostly and possibly obstacles or doubts, as we all are essentially fighting time while alive on this planet. I think the purpose of this drift away in these portions is to have the climax of finding that inspiration or self worth or moment of beauty or even visualizing the dream constantly so much that you want it so bad to come to fruition, as the woman in the video being completely overwhelmed after putting her hand in the water, but at the cost of a portion of herself, but then to be plunged back into reality as the tone shifts back out of that climactic feeling.

[@Taustavoima]

The whole album is just awesome. Mob mentality for example.

[@qmiller9]

Yes, I hope Mob Mentality is the next reaction from them. It's such a fantastic album.

[@chrisworland7754]

Earthside is great, Daniel Tompkins a Vocal Powerhouse on its own. chances of more tesseract coming in the near future?

[@rocioiribe5841]

Yes. I'm here for it. More Tesseract or anything with Dan Tompkins!

[@shinokugt]

I'm sure it's been recommended to you before, but I'm sure you would love and get super into some (if not all of) Daniel Tompkins (the vocalist here and for Tesseract) solo work. Ruins would be a great one to start with, but both his solo albums are great!

[@crabuki1273]

Over halfway into this song I was just ok with this. Pleasant but I'd never listen to it again. Then they hit that bridge, and I started warming to it, and by the end I'm a fan. Nice choice, Peachy! Thumbs up for Peachy and Chase!

[@damienrichards9743]

Love the reaction as always. Please react to Death. Preferably to the track "Symbolic". U will not be disappointed.

[@rlswiss7518]

Welp, there's now another band I have to listen to :P Thanks! Still hoping to hear you review some Gloryhammer. Hootsforce, Rise of the Chaos Wizards and Universe on Fire are all good places to start. Thank you again for what you do. Edit: Thoughts if you enjoy a Gloryhammer song or two, their finales to the rock opera albums are awesome but help if you have a bit of context. Apocalypse 1992 and The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny

[@einarthormodster95]

Love this drummer! The band reminds me of Leprous. Can't afford to donate to give you a recommendation, but I strongly recommend Magnus Karrssons freefall, "Queen of fire" feat Noora. She's close to my heart. It's the vocalist from Battle Beast. Noora is one of the best sopranoes belters. Please people, help me spread this pearl of a song

[@ChaseCarneson]

Oh don't worry sir, I don't accept donations for reactions. I want everyone to be able to request what they like. I'll try and get this on the list. It's a long one but will do my best. The easiest way to suggest is thought our discord server or on twitter, that way it doesn't get lost.

@@ChaseCarneson Thank you! I don't use discord, so I tried here.

Hey Chase I'm sure you've got a long list of recommendations but I'd love to see you listen to Gyze. They're a Japanese Metal band with some Japanese folk music influence. They did a collab with Marc Hudson of DragonForce on their song Reiwa/Rising Dragon (recommend), and any songs from Asian Chaos are pretty interesting. I recommend Eastern Spirits or Asian Chaos given they have YT vids.
