ENTER SHIKARI “The Void Stares Back” feat WARGASM | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction

[@chipzor]

The synth is an actual midi controller called Sparky :) It's casing was 3D-printed for the album cover for The Spark (2017) and is still used live.

[@davidpeace6515]

I got to work backstage with them while I was at backstage, and wasn’t trusted with helping take sparky out of the case… (They we’re also absolutely amazing live!!!)

[@tryitworks]

@@davidpeace6515 Hahahaha what a nice anecdote and sorry to you :)

[@decimus713]

Underrated comment. Thank you, comrade

[@jamiemaude]

Shikari are the boys, I fucking love them. Really glad you did a reaction to this as well. This is the first Shikari song to come out since I started watching your channel (which is great, the channel that is). I knew you guys were in to them so really hoped you dropped a video. They don't get enough exposure, they are one of the greatest live acts around.

[@lynnvb]

Yaaaaaaaaaaas, Enter Shikari, my all time favourite band

[@blueevl6923]

The synth is called Sparky 🥹

[@DaFootyChannel]

Saw these boys at the weekend at Reading festival and they brought Wargasm out to do this one with them, was sooooo sick 😍 Also Rou’s name rhymes with “How” hope that helps :)

[@nathandjohnny]

Nailed it! Thanks haha

[@GeniusLad32]

This might be my favourite song of the year and this is a year where Muse, Bob Vylan, Kid Kapichi and Vukovi have put out banging albums. New Vukovi is a must-listen by the way, especially Lasso.

[@bencliff2271]

There's a reason I have the Enter Shikari symbol tattooed on me, such a good band, second best band I've ever seen live, never disappoint with any song or album they do, personally prefer their older stuff, but, I still love their new stuff, this song is so good, Wargasm are on the up and coming, and clearly Shikari are fans too, I can imagine this song being absolutely fucking immense live, so, I'm a fan for sure, and Nath when you were on about them mixing them together, they have a side project called Shikari Soundsystem, where they mic loads of different songs together, with dubstep, they're also incredible, saw them live too and it was incredible, epic reaction as always fellers, just thought I'd mention Fire From The God's dropped a new tune a few days ago, and to me, it's literally the PERFECT song, you boys would love it, much love

[@choerulanwar3355]

We just love Enter Shikari ❤

[@fionamacleod6910]

Shikari was the first band I ever saw live in 2013. I love them, the progress they have made and really hope I can see them again at some point! ❤❤

[@jinxbullock]

Always love it when you lads react to Enter Shikari! This song was a banger, especially with the company of Wargasm! 🤘🏻

[@BamBanson]

a mnemonic Rou used when he was younger was "it's Rou like cow, not Roo like moo"

[@MatthewJBD]

They were great at Reading Festival 2022. Wargasm had a secret set first thing, and that was my introduction to them and I was blown away. Then for Enter Shiakri's set they brought out Wargasm for this track.

[@georgeogle5126]

Been hoping you'd do this one since it released, excited for this! :D

[@MatthewJBD]

I'm gonna have to watch all of your Enter Shikari reactions.

[@AndrewSmith-ub6xs]

Rou is the only British lad I've heard that can really hit that 'california pop' note, hooks ya every time

[@joshua_5683]

Love Shikari!! Such a banger!

[@muhamadfachry5247]

Entershikari is going back to old era with electronic techno sound & rou reynolds rapping again

[@cho317]

New to your channel and really enjoyed watching your reaction to this awsome track. cheers

[@TenaciousJoe24]

Can’t wait to see these guys in Orlando! Been way too long!!

[@D__Sync]

Love Shikari and love you guys! Shikari don’t miss they are so consistent in releasing bangers! This song rocks!

[@skycityskate4536]

It's not a combination of artists I ever thought about but it just makes sense and came out fantastic. If it's not played in clubs to some extent I'll be shocked.

[@britballer4697]

Shikari back with yet another banger! I’m in total agreement that they have never disappointed me

[@matthewtaylor5942]

Love this. Glad to hear the boys at Shikari bringing back the Flash Flood of Colour vibes, I loved that album. Keen for more new music!

[@klammer3]

Ahhh I've been looking forward to this

[@jezoboii]

Can't wait to see those boys in November. Can't believe I've waited this long to see them live

[@tonytomato100]

Eyyy, October for me

[@FozzyWozzy1203]

Love to see people checking out Shikari...seen em countless times ... Take to the Skies still one of my fav albums...check out Sorry You're Not a Winner with Pendulum from this past weekend 🤯

[@karimabdelkarim6437]

AAAAAA I LOVED THE REACTION😭 AND LOVED HOW CHAOTIC THE SONG IS

[@Nerex7]

This was a very fun song! So goddamn catchy

[@joeraine482]

Just saw Shikari @ Leeds Fest and they brought out Wargasm to perform this song

[@nathandjohnny]

Siiiiick!

[@Default-lc8if]

seeing this live at reading with them bringing out wargasm to was fucking insane its another level live!

[@MurphyBWFC]

Saw this (with Wargasm as a special guest) at Leeds Festival at the weekend, fair to say it slaps live 🤘🏻

[@MurphyBWFC]

Oh and they also did a sorry you’re not a winner remix with Pendulum in the dance tent, definitely check it out if there’s videos anywhere!

[@GuitarJosh161]

Rou is short for Roughton! He said in an interview once 'Rou like cow, not Rou like moo'.

[@coreycarnegie5990]

Love Shikari, Love Wargasm. Couldn't of asked for a better tune😁 Great reaction guys! Rou is pronounced like cow instead of shoe, best way I've been able to tell people haha!

[@frozenandchosen]

Egg sandwiches are top tier, but I can NOT do mayo 🤮😂

[@Kotsoros37]

Haven't heard em in a while super cool having Wargasm on it!

[@sehnsucht000]

FUCKING LOVE EGG SANDWICHES

[@nathandjohnny]

Oofft!

[@shikarifox4337]

I hope there's reactions of Bull, While She Sleeps' Systematic (featuring Rou) and You Me at Six's No Future? Yeah Right (featuring Rou) to watch after this :)

Check out the new Dayseeker track Without Me

[@K1NGD0M]

I think bands have to remove the word "feature" from their songs when the include a band into the song because of how much they put into the song, unless they only had a small part. Like for example, "BAND AND BAND - SONG NAME", instead of "BAND FEAT BAND - SONG NAME", if that makes sense.

[@frost6006]

The thing is, this can be actually true if BOTH bands made the song. But in this case it sounds like ES wrote the whole song and they just called Wargasm to do the "feature" hence the name. This doesn't mean Wargasm did their part and put their own sound into the song tho, but it's just that, a feature.

[@rubickqube]

I'm not convinced this was your first listen... Huge fans of the band and the song released 2 weeks ago. No way you could go that long without listening.

[@nathandjohnny]

We always wait for official music videos and we may or may not have already spoken to Rou about when the clip was dropping. We avoided “Yen” by Slipknot for 2 weeks as well.

[@jimash]

i think you mean wargasm(UK) Because WARGASM is a band from Boston Ma USA who formed in 1985

[@nathandjohnny]
