FIRST REACTION TO LOATHE TWO WAY MIRROR

As we always say these are our opinions, not law. We have our own particular tastes in music and that is what directs our overall opinion.

[@Cornchps827]

Chino from Deftones has publicly praised Loathe. This whole album is incredible but If you want the next suggestion from them I would go with screaming. It’s called screaming 👍 love the reactions guys!

[@J-Cardozo]

I'd go with sad cartoon from the same album

[@fharidvalencia2068]

@@J-Cardozo whole album is fantastic, terrific

[@nickrodriguez9848]

the whole thing

[@Ben_jammin2086]

Loathe's " A sad cartoon " and " is it really you" are tunes y'all should really listen to. Such a great band

[@jctheii]

Mannnn, if you listen to ‘Gored’ off this same album, you wouldn’t BELIEVE it was the same band. This band does it all, explores all avenues of genres, from the heaviest depths to the beautiful ethereal softness. I think y’all would have a good time. Sleep Token are incredible, highly suggest “Higher”, or “High Water”. Those guys are doing something special with metal

[@jctheii]

Also this Loathe album, “I Let It In and It Took Everything..”, is the best album i’ve ever heard personally. Released in 2020, and have listened every damn week for the last 2 years🔥

[@elijahkoblan-huberson9666]

For more Loathe I strongly recommend Screaming, Is It Really You? or a Sad Cartoon. Keep up the great work!

[@AaronandJo]

LETS GOOO if you ever feel like going back to Loathe in the future definitely react to the song “I Let It In and It Took Everything” it’s their most jarring/versatile song. take your time tho no rush, thanks for the video!

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Allgood bro , definetly will be doing more Loathe real soon, checked out a couple tracks personally, yea defo got some fierce chops

[@Cornchps827]

Hell yeah! Loathe is one of the best up incoming bands right now! Love them. English metal band too

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Yea i checked out a few tunes after filming this, they have some real aggressive heavy tracks that blew me away!

[@jctheii]

@@marylandstationmusic9422 oh shit, what tracks did you hear? Would’ve loved to see that reaction😂

[@Cornchps827]

@@marylandstationmusic9422 yeah I second that, we need to know the songs and what you think of them. I love the heavy ones and the slow ones equally. Screaming is so good

[@noahgossman1868]

Nice to see Loathe get some attention. Great band. I’d love to see you guys check out the band Thrice and their song The Color of the sky.

[@russelltyler9363]

I love LOATHE. There's lore behind these lyrics, and the sample in the break down. Great work gents!

[@nickrodriguez9848]

why is the dude on the left so pouty shit is so hilarious

[@DanSkinny]

Sleep Token has the breath of fresh air you’re looking for. Decent variety with unique vocals.

[@V_XVX]

worship

[@screamingtima1318]

Awesome band! ❤

[@padraigmurphy3540]

I seem to be in the minority here, but Sleep Token gets old real quick. People hype them up way too much

[@DanSkinny]

@@padraigmurphy3540 to each their own

[@DanSkinny]

@@padraigmurphy3540 I’m in the minority about some bands like (and similar to) invent animate and architects. It’s mostly homogenized djenty music that, is impressive, but lacks impact, emotion and purpose for me. That’s why I like ST.

[@elijahkoblan-huberson9666]

I'm honestly interested in your take on Sleep Token, its in the same-ish realm of new metal songs like Loathe. For first listens, I strongly recommend Alkaline or Jaws. Alkaline is an earworm of a song (that hook gets stuck in your head) but Jaws is more complex and worth it for the drum fills alone. I believe you would like both.

[@sillysiji5257]

Guy on the left is absolutely right about rock. The genre is becoming quite stagnant. But, bands like Loathe and a few others like Spiritbox are bringing an air of freshness

[@Cornchps827]

Hell yeah! Loathe is one of the best up incoming bands right now! Love them

[@MaxPowweer1]

I'm not a general fan of "react" videos - but these dudes (especially the left bloke) knows what the fuck they are speaking about. Genuinely never found a "react" video so legit yet knowledgeable. An actual listen and proper opinion

[@pathofdecay]

This is truly a reaction. Thank you so much.

[@ryanfrazier3781]

You want to check out something new? Loathe was featured on the cover of Metal Hammer magazine at the beginning of 2022 along with 3 other newer bands: Zeal & Ardor, Spiritbox, and Sleep Token. For more Loathe I'd recommend something heavier like "Aggressive Evolution". For Spiritbox I recommend their single "Circle with Me." For Sleep Token I'd recommend "The Offering." Honestly I don't think you'll like Zeal & Ardor, who mix black metal with African-American Spirituals, but if you want to give them a shot check out "Run."

[@danandersson7768]

Sleep Token is the natural segue from Loathe. If you guys are looking for a band that is changing the way we think about rock and metal.

[@Cornchps827]

Please react to Thornhill - Arkangel … it’s so good! Thornhill new album heroine is so sick and unique. Doesn’t get enough praise

[@thetruth2418]

Good taste beau

[@handsomerube]

Yes! Love that album. “Valentine” is a top track but the whole album is great.

[@samuelolmos3493]

Have to give between the buried and me-selkies an endless obsession

[@therareplatypus7121]

You guys really need to listen to The Contortionist or Leprous. Specifically their songs "Return To Earth", or "The Sky Is Red". Respectively. The greatest album that I've ever heard is "Endorphinia" by Follow The White Rabbit. Their one album came out a decade ago and it's still ahead of it's time. If you wanted to venture off of prog a bit, but still technical and/or interesting, then I'd recommend these bands and songs. Kidcrash - New Ruins Decoder (Lead Hands) - Believers Oceana - Devil Walk God Walk 22 - Call Me Trimtab A Lot Like Birds - Next To Ungodliness Dance Gavin Dance - Prisoner I've got tons more, but if you like those, I can suggest more in the vein of what you like out of these.

[@narcostarko]

If you guys like this check out Thornhill!! The entire Heroine album is 🔥🔥🔥 (minus valentine)

[@narcostarko]

If you guys read this comment, Thornhill is "similar" to the Deftones and Loathe vibe that you seem to like, while still being completely original. The singer got some LUNGS though

[@lukejohnston5993]

I have never watched your videos before and the guy on the left in very very real and quite smart 🤘

[@dankteets9251]

Fellas you gotta listen to hexagram from deftones. Also gonna recommend bloody cape and be quiet and drive cause i can’t help it🤷‍♂️

[@antondavidovic3996]

Would be cool to see you guys react to a Porcupine Tree song, maybe Hatesong (live version, much better than the studio version and Gavin Harrison doesn't play drums on the studio version) or Anesthetize. Gavin Harrison's drumming is next level and I'd like to see JB react to it :P

[@jsik69x]

If you’re thinking that rock hasn’t progressed at all, then you’re just stuck in the wrong pocket of new music. And I’ve been there. Check out King Gizzard and the Lizard or Psychedelic Porn Crumpets from the bubbling Melbourne scene. They are pushing sounds and styles to a whole new level. Check out All Them Witches, Thee Oh Sees, even the last Desert Sessions album from a few years back. There is some seriously NEW exciting sounds coming out of rock that you guys are missing out on (and saying this as an obsessive music lover and musician always looking for something fresh to my ears)

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

I hear you Bro, thanks for sending these thru, marking them down👍🏾

[@samuelolmos3493]

Sleep Token-The Offering man you guys are dope

[@Ofthelineofeld19]

Great reaction, i like your breakdown of Deftones influence in Loathe's music. Stuff that's a little different or a little newer? Make Them Suffer-"Doomswitch." He is Legend-"The Prowler" Mudvayne "Deathblooms." I don't think you guys have done any Mudvayne at all yet, and you might like them. Good variety of slower, more emotional songs and faster, heavier stuff.

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Ok Mudvayne, noted👍🏾

[@LuisGonzalez-ip8jp]

Guy on the left is acoustic

[@morganhayes1589]

More from Loathe please, their sound shouldn't be based off this track. Diving into that rabbit hole would be awesome to see your reaction to them.

[@Warnerchild]

also if you are a drummer - you should check out their - Broken Vision Rhythm drum cam vid

[@malpeice2]

Love this song. Def thought it was deftones first time I heard it. I’m glad there’s newer bands out there making music like this. I can’t stand the breaking Benjamin and five finger death punch type bands… This song also gives me Balance and Composure vibes. JB would 1000% like Reflection by Balance and Composure

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Balance and composure, never heard of them a new or newish band?

[@malpeice2]

@@marylandstationmusic9422 they broke up in 2017 but reflection is my favorite song from them! You guys should definitely listen to it. I also sent a message on Patreon about it

[@russ90210]

Hey Guys, I reckon you would love Rammstein a German industrial metal band. Start with the song Du Hast or Sonne. Theyre production is really solid and have great riffs

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

I remember Rammstein , yea im sure JB would find them interesting

[@posteveryside-beatsnews]

Great album

[@yahir3848]

You should listen to White Hot or Its Yours by loathe I love those songs

[@MrGmonkeywillruleyou]

Try mr bungle sudden death. I dare you

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Dare accepted!

[@rodrigomontoyamacias5126]

A Sad cartoon and heavy is the head that falls with the weight of a thousand thoughts are better song of loathe

[@marylandstationmusic9422]

Noted👍🏾

[@fiend265x]

listen to gored by them, you'll be surprised

[@connormcvay7387]

If you want progression you should check out Bring Me The Horizon again! "Teardrops" is a newer song!

[@Warnerchild]

react to new faces in the dark

[@imonacomputer]

TL;DR Keep it really extra brutal real and you'll keep the ones around that are worth keeping around. Gemini Syndrome has a decent mix of some of the more established bands. Good to see another reaction pop up. Seeing your face when it started I initially thought it was hate or boredom. After a bit I realized it was more that you were absorbed by the song. The honesty, the "extra" and brutal honesty of it is refreshing as well. "Allow me the latitude of completion" Not sure where you two picked that up, but I love that you both acknowledge it as "you're getting on my nerves. Let me say whet I'm gonna say, then we can sort it out." Very Deftones sound to that song. I'll have to check them out as well. Gemini Syndrome "Remember We Die" Would be a good one, imo. Video that goes with the song fits the bill.

[@Warnerchild]

or just react to them at outbreak fest

[@douglasmott3048]

Good song but can't compare them to Tool not even same planet

[@ols1483]

Agreed. Tool isn't nearly as good as Loathe.

[@Bhrains]

other dude has zero taste and is salty for no reason.

[@v1antbo]

Blind Dog - Beyond My Reach

Do Loathe-white hot sometime
