Finally some Converge reactions on KZbin. They aren’t talked about enough considering how legendary and influential they are. Glad to see someone young liking them especially just after hearing Concubine. This album is a phenomenal experience, it was fun experiencing it with you. Metalcore for the most part definitely stopped being good, minus the handful of old bands still doing their thing, in the late 2000s imo. Though there is a nice resurgence of bands like Knocked Loose continuing that old sound. Another legendary album to check out would be Botch - We Are The Romans or Misery Signals - Malice and the Magnum Heart.

[@areakastudios6704]

Dude that’s what I’m saying, I know they’re not an easy band to get into but dang I wish we saw more people checking them out

[@felix-barth1279]

I think you would absolutely love the Dillinger escape plan: ire works. If you haven’t heard it already.

[@RazorburnNoise]

omg yes! it would be so cool to see you get into more noisy metal stuff! kind of a basic suggestion, but Unsilent Death by Nails is a grindcore album that really helped me get into the sound (& it's only 14 minutes long!). a more personal pick is Caligula by Lingua Ignota, which isn't metal, but incorporates a lot of the abrasive style & i just think you'd love it in general

[@ahumannamedcharles5329]

the struggle to find ppl who will listen to noisier stuff is real. I gave a listen to your EP from earlier this year, really liked it! Has a fuzz and grit to it that feels authentic and was weirdly immersive, especially with the extra context you wrote on the band camp page. feels inseparably American, if that even makes any sense - the harsh tones and vocals were great too. support queer noise!

[@izzyizzzbizzzzy]

dude i'd love for snowy to react to caligula

[@RazorburnNoise]

@@ahumannamedcharles5329 oh my god thank you so much!! i hope to release some more in the future, tysm it means so much

[@mexicrispy501]

Heaven in her arms is probably the best or at least my favorite converge song. I think this is one of those bands that when they put out a record, its record of the year, easily. They innovate still. I don't think there are many that can compete with them. All we love we leave behind is probably there best next to this. Check out: DIllinger escape plan-Calculating Infinity Gaza-I dont care where i go when i die Deadguy-Literally anything Every time i die-Hot Damn Poison the well-Opposite of december.

[@gavinbarnett5033]

Hell To Pay might just be the best production on any metalcore song I've ever heard in my life, that growling bass is fucking FILTHY and the way it leads into Homewrecker is perfect. This album is fantastic and I love it to death, please react to more Converge they are the most consistent metalcore band in terms of quality

[@ftcaetano]

Man since you are stepping those territories while getting deeper into the Swans work, you'll definitely LOVE and get amazed by Neurosis and Amenra. If you are interested, start with "Mass VI" from Amenra and Neurosis... hard to decide between "Souls at Zero" and "Through Silver in Blood". You'll love and feel more and more dragged into this world that Converge and Swans opened to you

[@shuddupidc]

Stoked for this!!! You gotta do their other masterpieces - Axe To Fall & All We Love We Leave Behind - at some point

[@mynameismark25]

surely you mean You Fail Me next?

[@shuddupidc]

@@mynameismark25 works for me too! I prefer the two I mentioned, but You Fail Me is also fantastic

[@areakastudios6704]

A bit of a specific one, but I would LOVE to see him check out their stuff on the poacher diaries. Specifically the redux version.

[@ximiony]

I'm approaching 50 and it makes me happy to see younger people getting into one of my favourite albums.

[@bellasmella9776]

holy shit my favorite album ever! you also should listen to dillinger escape plan if you like this

[@maxmiller1950]

Next logical step would be We Are The Romans by Botch, that and Jane Doe are the landmarks of mathcore

[@cometbus0]

Yessss if you're into this, PLEASE check out Botch!

[@Rll_2206]

If I was you I would be very careful. I got into this album earlier this year and I’m now at a point where I think that this might be the best metal album I’ve ever heard. This and Dopethrone are possibly the 2 heaviest metal albums of all time imo. Edit: oh yeah btw the songs you never woulda thought to be your favorite will eventually become your favorite to the point each song is like perfect.

[@1stflower834]

I'LL STAY GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD

[@laoisemeehan]

Your channel has introduced me to some of the best music including swans and slint and now this thank you!

[@xspartan346x]

If you like this, there's an old school metalcore revival going on. Check out Vein fm - Errorzone(closest to converge) Balmora & Since My Beloved - Six Pacts Etched in Blood Withpaperwings - Demo Adrienne - Summers Beginning

[@keister1169]

Glad to see a solid genuine reaction to this album. It’s considered a masterpiece for good reason. I recommend the Disharmonium albums from Blut Aus Nord for more mind boggling metal.

[@neminem233]

Let’s fucking got this album is absolutely STUNNING

[@areakastudios6704]

This entire band is so freaking talented. Jacob ban on is probably my favourite hardcore vocalist of all time, and Ben Koller is an absolute machine of a drummer, too.

[@jaaadaaa8685]

so glad you checked this out !! easily one of the best to ever do it

[@shuddupidc]

Also, you gotta do a Blood Brothers album at some point. Some of the best post-hardcore ever, and some of the best screams ever.

[@salpairzz]

one of my favorite albums ever, reaction was on point. so fucking heavy

[@Trim_Brakes_06]

I clicked so God damn fast. One of my all-time favorite albums.

[@chugrooster2]

Love the channel, great picks and what seems like genuine first listen/reactions. When i first heard this album I couldn't hack it, I was a similar age to you when it came out. It took me a while to get into it fully but now It's one of my favourite heavy albums of all time. Alongside Botch - We are the romans, the first Dillinger album and a few others. I'd be super interested to see you react to Loveless by My bloody valentine or Six by Mansun.

[@naumchomsky8840]

YES my favorite metal album ever. I was surprised to see this pop up tbh!

[@user-un2ko6xs9r]

nice one. proper reaction.

[@lukereilly9844]

First time Jane Doe listeners thinking "this is the best opener ever" not knowing what's going to hit them with the closer

[@michael-tx3lf]

this album fucks so hard. finally decided to listen a few days ago after having it on my radar for way too long and i've had it on repeat. my first reaction was pretty similar to yours, just in complete awe of how amazing it was. simply incredible metal. would absolutely recommend you give "Unsilent Death" by Nails a shot.

[@lucchasse7850]

one of my favs ever ❤

[@bellasmella9776]

the breakdown at the end of Heaven in her arms is my favorite moment in all of metal and music

[@JonyAyy]

Absolutely crazy that some people compared Jane Doe with the new KL album. There's almost nothing that can be compared lol Anyway, first person in youtube reacting to this amazing album. Apreciate it. edit: also you SHOULD listen to we are the romans asap

[@user-uu9ln8kh5i]

Totally agree. This comparison sounds like a joke.

[@jasperl-b8353]

this album got me into metal/hardcore

[@chiphargis2419]

The Bizkit walked so Knocked Loose could run.

[@snowy6301]

This is so true

[@stevenbanks1548]

Find the video with the stage invasion/fight. It's fucking hardcore dude. Lead vocalist attacks with mic stand, a guitar is used as a weapon. Nutty stuff.

[@lustalgia...]

go see them live!! skull's still getting pierced

[@xixDan]

do you like burzum or emperor or people like that? Blackgaze or doomgaze stuff is worth checking out. Planning for Burial is right up your street

[@avishaikeshet7106]

View number 666, your wellcome

[@sinkopation]

If youre down for mathcore I cant recommend Carbomb enough. W'w''w'w is my favorite album of theirs but Meta has awesome production.

[@mynameismark25]

everyone here in the comment section should go and react without a camera to The Lurch by Yautja.

[@meatsuit6922]

Knocked Loose has absolutely nothing on Converge Also here to rec again Choirs Of The Eye by Kayo Dot, one of the best metal records ever written

[@ManuelSanchez-kd7pn]

Im sorry but nothing compares to Jane Doe. Knocked Loose is really good but Jane Doe is QUEEN!!!!

[@maxmiller1950]

Next logical step would be We Are The Romans by Botch, that and Jane Doe are the 2 landmarks of mathcore
