500 Likes for A ‘Sleeptalk’ reaction?🤔 Also, I recently did a podcast with Chandler Burton, really enjoyable conversation which I’d love if you would check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-7oaGcgqp-qdU ⭐️

[@pedropessoa2246]

Sleeptalk is an incredible album! It has more of the heaviness... I think in the last album they definitely went more for the "radio friendly" stuff you talked about, which is cool too, but I think Sleeptalk shows off more of their potential as a Metal band, and not just a Pop Rock band

[@samubmth7316]

YOU NEED TO DO SLEEPTALK PLEASEEE

[@d.hodgsky]

Yes please do Sleeptalk, sooo good.

[@xpearlann]

It's such a beautiful album. The whole album is based around Rory's (lead singer) grief from losing his father. Completely changes how you listen to the songs after you know where the lyrics come from.

[@LogansPage]

100%. Knowing context makes this album so hard to listen to. As someone that has lost multiple people to cancer and other things, I still can't listen to it without crying multiple times. Rory has a special talent of putting grief perfectly into words.

[@Vixfor_]

You will like these after Dayseeker record: 1.Kingdom of Giants - Passenger(2020) 2.Holding Absence - The Greatest Mistake of My Life(2021) / or Self-Titled(2019, which is personally my favorite album of all time) 3.Imminence - Heaven in Hiding(2021) / or Turn the Light On(2019)

[@Ranger_Sneakers]

Kingdom of giants is so good 🔥 slept on them for ages

[@1Dezar]

Can attest to the Kingdom of Giants and Imminence albums are incredible. Should definitely check them out.

[@uniservicemann3186]

Omg yes Imminence Heaven In Hiding is a must

[@pedropessoa2246]

This band reminds me a lot of "The Greatest Mistake Of My Life" by Holding Absence... less heaviness, more emotions, and definitely awesome vocals

[@ThatBlindGuy247]

They're one of Loocas's favourirte bands. Their album Sleeptalk was in repeat for him so i bet it effected TGMOML

[@d.hodgsky]

Agreed, I'd put Holding Absense in the same basket as this.

[@pedropessoa2246]

@@ThatBlindGuy247 ooh didn't know about that! Well that makes a lot more sense now

[@ThatBlindGuy247]

@@pedropessoa2246 yeah so he said he was nervous af for the live video he did with them for Starving To Be Empty

[@TRB1497]

I'd definitely recommend Sleeptalk, they released it prior to this one (2019) and the track Crooked Soul would be right up your alley 🔥

[@andrewquiroz4335]

Drunk and Starving to Be Empty as well

[@TheAndrewJasper]

When my 8 year old says this is his favourite album (and he plays it a lot in his room)... It makes me confident he's set to make good (musically) choices going forward :) This album has such moments of beauty, simple poppy fun and great lyrics... The Parallel - Hazel's Song is such a emotional one-two punch.. Me and the boy had a great conversation about love and grief after listening to this a few times.

[@DrewFortune97]

Your son has incredible taste! Long may it last my friend🙌🏻

[@tristanwestrate617]

Funny you compare Crying while you’re Dancing to school since the music video is literally at a highschool prom😂. I’m in love with this album and band, first band I ever saw live back in 2020 they were beautiful.

[@DrewFortune97]

No way 😂😂😂 I’ll watch it later. But yeah, it’s 100% got that vibe 🤣

[@benedekistvan2655]

Please give Resolve-Between Me And The Machine a listen!They are a super underrated french band with similar sound and vocals!

[@akryzazel]

You may like Darkbloom from We Came as Romans as well, its kinda synthic, pop punky, but has brutally heavy parts. Pls check it out. If you want to pre-hear a song from the album off cam, try "Plagued"

[@Daniel-SpiritedAway]

I love those Album-Montages from you. They are straight to the point but still transmit all feelings very well. If you‘re more into the futuristic style of metalcore like Bad Omens and stuff, I‘d highly suggest the album Passenger by Kingdom of Giants. They are definitely a band to look out for in the future and have already grown so much as a band.

[@coop_sauce12]

Dayseeker is so good they’re even better live🔥Bad Omens made a good choice having them open for them on the Concrete Jungle tour

[@ghostyzf5708]

Saw them live a couple months back and they absolutely killed it. Super emotional and full of emotion. Love this band and just about anything they have ever put out. Gotta check out Saviour man, you will love it. Shine and Fade

[@saltybutts3716]

I don't know if you've listened to it yet, but I think you would really enjoy Swan Songs by The Plot In You, kind of the same vibe as this and TDOPOM

[@d.hodgsky]

Nice Monuments shirt! 👌

[@DrewFortune97]

Thanks man!

[@Snappymage]

Omg Dayseeker nice 😍😍....little funfact the high noise at homesick comes from Rorys daughter. And sleeptalk will be an S Tier Album for you at the end of the year 😉

[@bunjicord93]

Thousand Below is definitely one to check out. In the same post hardcore vein as dayseeker and bad omens

[@BornSinners24]

Yeah this was Rory’s songs mostly about his dad passing and the outtro is for his daughter. It’s a beautiful vocal album and deep lyrics

[@skytex9227]

If you love these kind of Metal style you would Love the Album ( Thousand Below - Hell finds you Everywhere ). They have a feature with bad omens in a track

[@taylorbelnap8431]

^^^^

[@ValkyrieLightwing]

Absolutely loved this album. Been a fan of them for a few years now and this is very different for them but I really love the sound and direction of this album. I'm hoping to see them in a few months live, pretty sure I might just full on cry tbh lol I do have some suggestions tho. I could be wrong with my comparison of these to this album, but I personally get similar vibes: 1: Rain City Drive - Rain City Drive (self titled) 2: Valiant Hearts - Yonder (It is a bit heavier than Dark Sun, but it goes pretty heavy on synths and wide-open, ethereal atmosphere.) Here's a some more, not necessarily similar to Dayseeker, but do feature aspects of music that I think you'd like based on watching previous reactions :) 1: Arkive - Sonder (Prog-metal . It's a short 6 song EP from 2017 but still to this day it's one of my favourite EP's ever). 2: Straight Shot Home - In-Retrospect (Synthwave Metalcore) 3: Dreamwake - Virtual Reality (Wavecore. This album is basically what you'd expect the 90's to *sound* like in djenty metalcore format)

[@Creeper333pl]

please listen to between me and the machinę by resolve! it’s a masterpiece and one of my favorite albums of the last few years. the band is really underrated. i think you’ll love them if you liked Dayseeker, Bad Omens and Architects you can also check out Sleeptalk, the previous album by Dayseeker. It’s a similar vibe to Dark Sun albeit definitely heavier and more technical instrumentally

[@masonsolbrig1336]

Definitely should check out "The Greatest Mistake of my Life" - Holding Absence, and "Sleeptalk" - Dayseeker

[@midwestmulisha820]

This is a great Hurtwave album that was tagged as Dayseeker

[@ryanhoover210]

Cannot wait until you inevitably listen to their magnum opus, Sleeptalk. You’re gonna love it Drew.

[@fistofan936]

I thought I was the only one who heard Concrete Jungle in the breakdown of Dreamstate... it's so similar!

[@DMSpikes1987]

Their previous album Sleeptalk was my album of 2019. You've definitely gotta check that one out!

[@mutatednut]

10:30 I had that same thought haha. It could pass at a high school dance.

[@WastedLight]

This is a complete 180 from this type of sound(which I love), but I would love to see a reaction to Tallah's matriphagy or the generation of danger. Also dayseekers last album sleeptalk is phenomenal. Cheers!

[@willowdoesmusic1484]

I guess it's not really that similar to Dayseeker, but another amazing band I think you'd love is Above, Below. Their debut album The Lotus Chapters is unbelievable and would be very much up your street if you like that proggy, djenty, deathcory sound from bands like monuments or new sleep token

[@craxysurfer1862]

That electro Voice in homesick is his daughter talking. I think its pretty cute

[@Lorn-_-]

The Word Alive’s album Dark Matter is similar to them. i think you’d love it if ur looking for pop kinda metalcore ish. also Lovelorn by before i turn isn’t similar but it’s one of the best albums i’ve heard and i’d love to hear ur thought on it 😭

[@AnthonyK93]

Oh man this just makes me want to say THE OCEAN COLLECTIVE bruv! Heavy synthy proggy metal ass metal. If not an album, listen to just Triassic or Let Them Believe or something, man

[@DrewFortune97]

That’s actually coming up very soon man! It won one of the recent Patreon polls!🙌🏻

[@AnthonyK93]

@@DrewFortune97 oh hell yeah! Glad to hear it, I hope you enjoy 🤘🏻

[@casperhubertz7591]

Check out Caskets and their album Lost Souls. Great singer and sad songs

[@djnugget84]

Still waiting to see you react to Kardashev. Chill Black Metal!

[@intentions2730]

PLEASE do a reaction to either surroundings-of bane, burden&change, pathways-harlot, or ellipsis- Ancestral full albums these are absolute under appreciated masterpieces

[@aeztral]

I'm actually very sure you'd really enjoy Death Poems by Us in Motion. They're still quite small but musically already sounding insane.

[@geraltoftexas7631]

Passenger by Kingdom of Giants next!!!!

[@PGNHazard]

I FRIGGIN KNEW IT

[@MrFzrk]

Might want to check out Our Mirage

[@Drake45100]

Don't know if anyone already told you, but this album is all about his father that past away last year, so less heavyness and more feels. I love the album. Also the last song is dedicated to his daughter, she's called Hazel.

[@uniservicemann3186]

One of my top 5 of 2022. Do Sleeptalk. Full record, just do it :)

[@candehman]

Thousand Below - Hell Finds You Everywhere The first song even has Noah in it

[@brendonhuddleston450]

Their last album would be right up your alley as well. Sleep talk. Much heavier relatively speaking.

[@tree2243]

Older Dayseeker albums are a lot heavier than this. Rory said this album was gonna be softer as a whole due to everything he was going through while writing it, the loss of his father, the birth of his daughter, etc. Its a great album, as is Sleeptalk. But I recommend going back to Origin and listening to that as well for some heavier music and more Rory screams.

[@villagewolf999]

Kingdom of giants and while she sleeps

[@emanueldavenport3919]

checkout void of vison, chronicles 1, 2 and 3 (three part album) aussie band, similar to northlane/thornhill but chunkier

[@mylife1221]

dreamstate is BY FAR the best song on this album for me, it's not even remotely close. it's perfect

[@Jamieip]

Album is deffinatly a grower!

[@mikey13086]

i think ill need to experience in a more chill mood. definitely not something to listen to when you want something with teeth

[@SirRodhood]

I don't think you get Afterglow until you have a son or daughter and then you get it

[@geraltoftexas7631]

This and the new Fallujah record were my albums of 2022 so fucking good
