Underneath A Sullen Moon is heavy but the best breakdown in that album is the tempo change + breakdown at 3:20 in Barren & Breathless Macrocosm. Unstoppable

[@1bbjjhhjj]

I think it would be cool if you did a breakdowns vid, but the breakdowns weren't all centered around chugs (a good example would be the one from Tesseract's Concealing Fate Part II). You could even included heavy parts that are like breakdowns such as the middle section from Mastodon's Megalodon, or the section from Disturbed's Criminal. Even closed hi-hat parts could count as well. I'm sure you's be able to come up with a sick list either way!

[@zackdissolves]

Keep Me Alive and Sceptres... Both SUPER underrated songs from huge names in the modern metalcore world
