After this, Plini is a natural choice. Electric Sunrise or Paper Moon.

[@thewhorocks515]

Cascade! But I'd still love either of those suggestions.

[@categorille8330]

yes this really reminded me of plini (and that's a good thing i love this style)

[@mcschmet]

Perhaps 'Atlas'?

[@heardlessmusic]

Any plini really

[@KJ9999]

Ya, these guys are obviously phenomenal musicians there's just something that just doesn't quite get there like it does with Plini. This just isn't doing it for me.

[@adamrguitar]

Thanks for the kind review! :)

[@sebastianarriagada5356]

why is this comment not on the top!? Thank you Adam for the amazing music! keep up the good work guys!

[@Ghaleb2142]

Arch Echo, Plini, and Periphery was probably the best line up for a concert I've been able to experience.

[@vigaxan86]

I saw them in Austin back in February and it was pretty much perfect. The energy of this band as well as Plini and Periphery is so infectious, I'm really glad I went since tours are all shut down now.

[@zyklqrswx]

definitely check out: Plini Sithu Aye Chon Intervals

[@Panda_SMM]

been listening to those guys for nearly a decade now. classics in the instrumental mordern prog scene

[@ckokomo808]

I definitely recommend all of these dudes.!

[@thewhorocks515]

Yes, any or all of these would be amazing. I'll add Owane and Jakub Zytecki to the list too.

[@Laros82]

Hell yea love to see Sithu get some love! Also recommend all the others listed😍

[@erichughes3987]

All of this. Yes!

[@300Spartan03]

I got to Arch Echo live with Periphery and these can deliver, they were so tight especially when Matt from Periphery and i assume one of the techs basically rearranged the drummer's kit in the middle of a song and he still played flawlessly. It was such a good show. Check out Hip Dipper by Arch Echo, great song XD

[@Richie.Martinez]

Thanks for being there! We had a blast! And yeah I got tour pranked :D

[@JesseDupuy]

@@Richie.Martinez ...any chance there's footage of this prank??

[@danieldale2492]

If you liked this you will LOVE Plini. Definitely start with Electric Sunrise.

[@CrappycrapCrappy]

Reminds me so much of Electric Sunrise

[@PZMaTTy]

Yep, very prog like Plini, another similar band is Chon!

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

Honestly if he likes these guys plini will have him over the moon with either electric sunrise or selenium forest.

[@camhorejs]

Isaiah Mc Intosh Cascade also!

[@mortenolb]

People mention Plini, but everyone keeps forgetting Selenium Forest. But I mean, any Plini is the right choice.

[@paravarium]

I thought about commenting on it, until i saw you mention it :P

[@ruthlessrog1]

My favorite Plini jam 🤙

[@swagxmagician]

I would definitely recommend checking out Plini, Sithu Aye, or An Endless Sporadic. For Plini check out "Electric Sunrise", or the piece Plini did with Modern Day Babylon- "Water Drops" For Sithu Aye, check out "Oh S**t, I'm Late for School" "Spiral" or "Set Course for Andromeda" For An Endless Sporadic (one of my favorite bands) check out "Sun of Pearl" or "Impulse"

[@mail1086_]

Kind of mentioned in another comment, but Plini is similar to this. Tracks like Electric Sunrise or Wombat Astronaut come to mind. Fantastic content. I really enjoy your reactions and specifically analysis.

[@bennyharderguitar]

The guitarist is a friend of mine. They're fantastic.

[@puzzlepuddles6712]

that's cool! which one of the two adams?

[@hardtobearit]

I hope you do more of their music.

[@saneksin]

The band 'Architects' is a good choice for 'Arch-' week. Also, maybe Haken's song 'The Architect' I'd also really (I mean, REALLY) love to see you react to Rush's 'Cygnus Pt. 2 - Hemispheres' (in case you're not familiar with it) IMO it's the best epic-prog song they've made, beating even 2112 in terms of both performance and composition. All the transitions between the main theme and its variations are sooooo smooth that I think you'd love it.

[@qmiller9]

More Arch Echo please!! They're way too good to end there. Great reaction would be My Heart Sometimes, Earthshine, Hip Dipper... It doesn't matter, they're all great!

[@Bethrezen78]

I love Arch Echo!!!! I saw them live once, so full of energy ! If you like this kind of instrumental band, you should check Special Providence. It's also an instrumental prog band, but with a little more fusion/jazz. Their song "Distant Knowledge" is a good start :) !

[@augustmoonradio]

Plini - Electric Sunrise is a great song to check out!

[@luca83439]

I suggest you to react to Bent Knee - Catch Light (Live at big nice studio)

[@PhoenixDecim]

You'll really enjoy Electric Sunrise by Plini

[@qmiller9]

Arch Echo is definitely one of the most entertaining bands touring right now that I've seen. They command the crowd's attention with their energy and impeccable playing. What an experience?!! Please go see them live, everyone!!

[@nehemiasgonzalez6989]

Arch Echo actually released a new song called To The Moon......its so freakin good, hope you react to it..Much love 🔥❤️👏🏻

[@mikezes]

Love the "storytelling" perspective, thank you!

[@dirtydan9904]

5:05 There is a bass solo in “Bloom” by Arch Echo

[@jmanwild87]

Pretty sure you have gotten this a few times but Igorrr please! They just released a new album and goodness is it good My personal recommendations: Kung Fu Chevre Spaghetti Forever Tout Petit Monue (might be misspelled my French sucks) Downgrade desert Nervous Waltz Cheval

[@jadeowenhamblyn4405]

It's so cool the chill-inducing melodies lead you through all the progressions and all the story as you identified. The identify themselves that it's so important to weave melodies and themes through everything and in their other music you hear the exposition and development of themes. Even between different songs. Get into it.

[@ascendjz4494]

Saw Arch Echo with Plini a couple months back, super awesome concert. Arch Echo was sooooo fun to watch on stage.

[@TheKeseg]

what a awesome band that is. would love to see them live as well. come to europe guys 😅

[@mattiasbarkelius5604]

Listening to songs like this makes me really happy. For another side of animals as leaders I suggest the brain dance or para mexer. Both songs make use of some tasty acoustic guitars.

[@DawnsHhcg]

This is pretty cool. It makes me think if an 80s movie with a montage song was made modern, this would make a good song to put in. It definitely tells a story but could be injected into so many different themes

[@mchlmacdonald]

These guys are totally influenced by Liquid Tension Experiment. Awesome music. Check out Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain

[@ryukan250]

Atlas Novus by Scale the Summit is so underappreciated. One of the very best instrumental songs of the past decade.

[@kenttt1998]

If you listen to Another Year or Ka$cade that’ll change your mind about Animals as Leaders. They do have some really soulful songs but some songs they also like to show off their chops as well.

[@PhoenixDecim]

The Contortionist as well :>

[@wilksy2008]

Nice man! If you wanna hear more chill stuff by these guys, Leonessa is a great place to start! Iris is great too, massive sound, very anthemic in parts 🤩✨

[@augustmoonradio]

Check out Intervals my dude! their best songs in my opinnion are Touch and Go, Libra and Belvedre!

[@augustmoonradio]

Check out Bubbles by Disperse ! they have a cool sound

[@kanametousinabasi]

You should check out a couple of their member's older band 'Sound Struggle' from when they went to Berklee, it's a more Funk inspired Jazz-Fusion/Djent with vocals lol

[@Beartooth.12]

FAMOUS LAST WORDS - THE SHOW MUST GO ON

[@simonf943]

Never heard this. Generally don't listen a lot to bands doing instrumental only, but this is definetly something I am going to check out more! Really liked the combination of upbeat and heavyness att the same time. I hope "Arch-week" means you are going to listen to Arch Enemy?

[@chriswoodham3539]

Arch echo is a group of amazing musicians. Look up Stella after burger and immediate results. Mind blowing skills.

[@tomondrums]

Please react to: Victoria - Kepler / Modern Value Mestis - El Mestizo / Media Noche Full of high musicianship level!

[@stri8ted]

Absolutely love these guys. Glad they are getting some spotlight.

[@Will-fh7ll]

Couldnt agree more about what you said about the restraint for the sake of story telling!

[@jakelee8789]

Now I feel a little bit like an idiot lol. Thanks for reacting to arch echo my guy. I ask if you would before I knew you already did...lol. I love your views and insight on these reaction videos, I subd.

[@Phitsik23]

i like what you said about the story telling aspect as opposed to just shredding

[@evonsound]

Check out the new song by Arch Echo called To the Moon!

[@grabber_blu_angel]

You should check out Thank You Scientist - Everyday Ghosts.

[@nintendonarutofan]

Yesssssss

[@billybobthekidiswack]

Check out "Equipoise- Alchemical web of deceit" when you get a chabce

[@connorrodenfels338]

You should check out Coco by Syncatto it's a solo project from the guitarist of Artifical Language, it's an amazing blend of technical flamenco playing and djent.

[@nikelodeon6852]

This keyboardist is a gem..

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

Listen to their song spark or their song immediate results! it's kinda difrent spark is more heavy on the guitar and immediate results! is totally different it's from the second album

[@matijaskrbis3468]

Arch week? Stark contrast to Arch Echo (fantastic), but would love to hear your thoughts on Archspire- anything from Relentless Mutation.

[@gasdragon]

Check out Chon. Waterslide and Pitch Dark have pretty cool music videos.

[@raghavk2281]

Check out Immediate Results by Arch Echo

[@rhythmicstu]

such an amazing band, I went on to them after getting sick of polyphia new stuff. such amazing synchronization between the musicians. Just when you think the song is gonna end, they give more. These guys deserve way more attention than the likes of polyphia are getting. check out their second album too. Iris the last tune on that album - what an epic 8+ min tune to end the album! love the massive phat keyboard synth stuff, shows their love for what they do! 🤘

[@wereaboutsunknown]

These guys also remind me of Artificial Language. I'd say their new album, Now we Sleep, is what I'd prefer. The songs: Trial of Lights, Endless Naught, or Now We Sleep are all pretty cool.

[@archersvanity]

If you liked this, you'll love 'Sound Struggle - Rise'. They're pretty similar in style and they're fantastic!

[@andersevenrud]

I *love* Sound Struggle. Not only similar, but composed of some of the same dudes. Can't get enough of it :D

[@archersvanity]

​@@andersevenrud Didn't know that! I really enjoy Chon, Plini, David Maxim Micic and other artists who use the same sound but Sound Struggle was definitely a notch above the rest.

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

Hell yeah one of my all time favorite bands

[@ryukan250]

Try the song "You and Yours" by Cloudkicker sometime

[@danielhorn2322]

My favorites by Arch Echo are Instant Results and Bocksuvfun

[@CharlesEMurphy]

Talented. Pretty chill.

[@l8rn3rds]

would love to see Scar Queen or The Void Alone by Fallujah. They're a very jazzy and synthy metal band

[@tmayne220]

i have also just discovered this band. sick stuff. kinda jealous at how talented these zoomers are...

[@jeremylaplace1712]

David maxim micic is another that reminds me if this a bit

[@marcelocoronel166]

I saw this band with Plini :)

[@joshstribling7013]

Brian, if you liked this (which you obviously did), check out "Deep Roots" by Bad Salad. Thanks!

[@crysias]

You'll enjoy Distorted Harmony - Kono Yume

[@ibrahimutant]

You have to check out more Animals as Leaders!

[@nickhaas9185]

You need to check out Born of Osiris. I think you would like them since you like these guys.

[@Zaque-TV]

They have literally nothing in common

[@Ryan-jv8bw]

the fall of troy - FCPRemix

[@agriosbr]

These guys are monsters...watch their "Mukduk" next.

[@rendrag13]

Comment section chant.... plini plini plini plini

[@TundraCH]

Insect Ark - Tectonic, doom/droney metal, instrumental, post-rock influence as well

[@avebellium6856]

Check out the song flux by dawn of leviathan.

[@matteopriotto5131]

Hath - Of Rot and Ruin Anything off that album is gold

[@nikelodeon6852]

U don't understand composition if you think he played too fast. Him playing fast while the rest are playing slow is good juxtaposition and it doesn't remain mundane.

[@Chupie77777]

David Maxim Micic - Disorder :D another instrumental

[@apoplexiamusic]

Now that is some feel good Metal :)

[@holyshiet787]

Do Fallujah - Sapphire next

[@Aaron-ui9tj]

I can't hear synth like that without thinking of an old Sonic the Hedgehog level. Bugs me.

[@SteinMan22]

Would love to see some Vitalism. Yami obi would be a solid choice.

[@angelobastos3750]

React to Human Sadness by The Voidz!!

[@Aguarilada]

Please react to ENBLOOD cast to exile

[@TheDangerbreed]

bass seems more like a back up instrument with this band

[@talivaldisozols1649]

Car Bomb - Sets

[@devinharrison5199]

Cool IPod commercial

[@dotscarab]

Try Break the Same (Live) by Mutemath. Truly an amazing live show. Love your reactions! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIKreYV4qLmWbas

[@gabrielbotsford791]

Rawlgood.

[@gabrielbotsford791]

Cool nod to Rob Lee

[@meandfriendstv]

wow I just found out that you have not reacted to Tool yet! Please do it! My favorite would be the track "H."

[@colerougas5137]

No solo for Joe :(

[@paravarium]

AAL definitely have lots of feel, but a lot of your reccomendatons tend to go all out on being "prog af" just have to take my word for it? 🤷‍♂️

[@gedgemondod8808]

watching these live ruined them for me, they come across so full of themselves and just douchy tbh

[@Belazoth.]

100% disagree. They just like to have fun on stage. Saw them when they opened for Plini/Periphery and they killed it.

[@adamrguitar]

Gedgemondo :D 😬 We do indeed have fun on stage, sorry if that came across as douchey!
