I actually only listen to bands, if I can fall asleep to their music. Music has to be able to hype me up, the same way as to relax me and calm me down. And that is the case even with Slaughter to prevail, Darko US or Heaven Shall Burn for example.

I don’t knock people his age when it comes to music like this. Rock when he was in his youth is such a different sound than what it is now. He was pushing his 40s when shit started sounding far more aggressive in style. Then you add the vocal element and that comes way later in his life. The Rolling Stones were probably controversial to his own parents.

yeah thats one of the reasons i love metal! at first not knowing what theyre saying but getting the experience of looking it up and gaining more knowledge and context. i don't get why people need to have obvious lyrics at the ready right away.

[@13_cmi]

I can't understand vocals in general until I read the lyrics. It's a bit easier to understand with sung over scrumbed vocals but I am just bad with words so it's not much different.

[@skepticalbystander]

Metal and jazz exposes how most people are actually pretty close-minded to music, which is fine, most people seem to only really like 1 to maybe 3 genres of music, but so many people like to say or think "I like everything" when you ask what types of music they like. Diverse pools and extreme forms of music seem to mostly be for audiophile musician types.

[@Buswork292]

I used to be that way. I would only listen to metal and electronic music. Somewhere along the way I wanted to discover music and just started listening to anything I enjoy. I’m very open with genre but I’m pickier when it comes to what I download. I honestly just love music.

[@skepticalbystander]

@@Buswork292 I used to also when i was younger, I only liked classic rock and classic hip hop, and barely dabbled in the beginnings of hard rock, now, even though I mainly listen to extreme death metal 90% of the time cuz that's the genre I write my music in, and is by far my favorite thing on this planet that isn't my girl or a family member, I thoroughly understand why 99% of everything I hear exists, and totally enjoy probably 90% of everything I hear, and partially or mostly enjoy the rest. There are pockets of genres I can't really stand, but most of the stuff I can't seriously get into is polka and yodeling type things, and I hate bubblegum pop, and though I understand it, and can take at least something away from it, I hate how emo and glam metal colors outsiders' perspectives of what metal is. The other day I signaled to a coworker how ridiculous a small group of young emo kids were dressed trying to be extra overly edgy-looking, and he mostly listens to hip hop as far as I know, I know he at least also likes reggae when i have it playing in the back room, but anyway, he said "that's your people right there," and I was compelled to say nooooooo way, metal and emo are extremely different, emo wishes it was metal, pff* lolz! I will personally gatekeep emo from metal forever, it is a disgrace to extreme metal :P they just get lucky with cool riffs sometimes, haha!

[@Glaedr11]

I have a lot of trainees come through my job driving shotgun with me, and every single time I asked about music its "I listen to anything bro" but I've learned to probe deeper because nearly every single time what they actually mean is "mainstream rap, radio pop, butt-rock" with the occasional country listener.

[@skepticalbystander]

@@Glaedr11 exactly, most people are kinda like predictable npc's :P

[@skepticalbystander]

@@Glaedr11 I basicaly make everyone in the backroom at my work hear what death metal and deathcore is :) they WILL know the difference between extreme metal and emo or glam, haha! An awesome man once said, "we will make everything metal, blacker than the blackest black times infinity!"

[@callmesubby]

The disconnect between metal heads and non metal heads is so fascinating, I truly can’t relate to how people don’t hear the musicality in screaming let alone find it “distracting”. It’s like were looking at the exact same thing but seeing different colors

[@es0teric76]

When it comes to screaming in particular, I really do think it's a sort of acquired taste. For most who don't listen to metal, the yelling and screaming is probably just distracting because they recognize it as some sort of anger/agitation more than anything else.

[@gregorycastorena7697]

For me, vocals in metal are their own instrument in itself. I never get sick of it, and I try to give people around me baby step songs to slowly get used to it haha. Think of it like the frog in a pot of water, better to slowly turn up the heat than drop it in boiling water.

Ending with Punisher has to be the best part of this. GOAT song, GOAT band, GOAT breakdown

[@xBongWater]

more of this, PLEASE!

[@RazeHellMedia]

We're already working on a second one! 🤘

[@tableslam]

i gained some interesting perspective from this. i now realize that sometimes it's not about if it sounds good, sometimes it's about pushing the limits. like some of the sounds that Will Ramos and Christian Roche and Alex Terrible can make aren't all "good sounding" things, but they are sick as hell and impressive because of how extreme they are and how much they push the limits of what it's possible for a human voice to sound like

[@CrypticlyEncrypted]

The girl needs to hear more

[@steveo107]

The whole video is great, but thank you for introducing me to Dreamwake! No idea how I hadn't heard of them. Wavecore is a genre custom built for me

[@VRTX_-sc7dx]

DUDE, DREAMWAKE MENTIONED, LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RazeHellMedia]

🎷🎷🎷

[@traviswilson9528]

I was about to mention that too! need much more reconigition for real!

[@AKAchillez]

7:42 is my new "Alexa, intruder alert" sound. Lights go a dim red, this comes out blaring at max volume throughout every corner of the house. I emerge, nothing on but my war belt, NODS, and a birthday suit...

[@phayroh3428]

i just love a nice tight breakdown where the mix is just so well put together just omg

[@garlicburger]

man. hearing the Becoming the Archetype for the first time in a decade truly sent me back. wow. great stuff

[@DiveAtlantic]

I had never heard of dreamwake and they opened for a concert I went to with night rider. It was easily the craziest show I have ever been to.

[@RazeHellMedia]

I would LOVE to see those two together!

[@MetaLibanez1]

The breakdown in punisher is still one of my favourite breakdowns ever. Old VoM were so good.

[@caseyfraser9758]

Yoooo becoming the archetype! Haven't heard them in forever

[@RazeHellMedia]

Their new album is so good 😁

[@UnionCountyPhotography]

0:15 i hear alot of Parkway Drive Deep Blue album references in this song, whats the name

[@RazeHellMedia]

The song is called Ransom by Becoming the Archetype 🤘

[@Blottski]

As a person who loves Metalcore and some Metal, I personally would never even try to bridge the music gap by showing someone Knocked Loose. I don’t know what it is about them, maybe it’s the ultra hardcore vocals, I just can’t do it. Coming from a guy who absolutely loves Modern Metalcore bands like Bury Tomorrow, Architects, Wage War, Spiritbox etc.

[@XAVR_]

It's the aggression I think, they have a very "dark" sound

[@Urvos]

I love metalcore and deathcore, deathcore being my preferred genre. I just don't like bryan's vocals.

[@Blottski]

@@Urvos It's interesting because all of the bands I listed have vocalists that do perform into a very heavy vocal sound, but they never really cross into that dark deathcore vocal type. I think in the bands I listed you can find songs people who don't listen to metal/metalcore would appreciate but yeah. I think if you wanted someone who listens more to Pop or Country to never consider "Heavy music" ever again, showing them Knocked Loose would probably do it haha.

[@Urvos]

@@Blottski The only band I listen to out of the ones you listed is wage war. The thing about knocked loose though is are mostly deathcore, but Bryan's vocals are that really aggressive hardcore yell/scream. Deathcore vocals are definitely dark, but I wouldn't always call them aggressive. As where knocked loose's vocals are really aggressive, in your face. Plus the heaviness of the deathcore instrumental, it would definitely steer most people away.

[@Blottski]

@@Urvos Great point about Knocked Loose. I didn't know how to describe that style but you nailed it. As an aside, I've always used Breaking Benjamin as an "ease-em-in" kind of band personally because for most people half of their songs are "heavy metal" to your average pop or rap music enjoyer haha.

[@helenakasunic8810]

I just had to go and right away listen to the whole song from Wage War after that "blegh" and I love it, thank you! Also I just love your channel a lot, happy to discover you.

[@bongeldeboogle3895]

Unreal tournament 1999 sticker goes hard on the laptop

[@RazeHellMedia]

One of the best games ever made 🤘

[@socksandpi1264]

Damn, I feel attacked by that "have I died and gone to hell?" Also, you need to have them listen to Harper with "Weight of the World", features Dave Stephens, and Brand of Sacrifice wrote the music. Girl has some fucking lungs. She went on America's Got Talent and did a cover of Holy Roller when she was 11.

[@cayteewall9630]

I love metal but I also love how much the old man hates it 😂😂😂

[@Jamfiya1]

The fact you start the video with the band that got me into metal (Becoming the Archetype) with one of my favorite songs by them made me subscribe without watching passed 5 second mark 😂

[@CrabCoreKing]

Bro love this video please make them react to Crabcore breakdowns next. I.E. Attack Attack!, Asking Alexandria, I See Stars, WCAR, Of mice and men(preferebly Warped tour version of OG Loko lol)

[@CHET_CHADDINGTON]

Don't forget bless the fall either!

[@CienciayServico]

"That is a female, screaming at me?", just when I thought he could not be more of an asshole..

[@chrisstrohman4131]

DREAMWAKE APPEARANCE LFGGGGGG WAVECORE FOR LIFE Edit: DIAMONDS TO DUST TOO? I played my first live show opening for them!!

[@wolfkane1986]

[@bradywildeman3050]

[@RazeHellMedia]
