How To Metal: ARCHITECTS (feat. Ryo Kinoshita)

@NikNocturnal I actually want to know what tuning you used ? 😂

[@MattRose30000]

LOL I found the song on YT music before I even saw this video, and I thought the title was very sus 🤣

[@rizkimulyadi40]

Make "HOW TO PALEDUSK!!"

[@LoveMUSIC-p7e]

Nik's voice is an UNESCO heritage

[@emmywolf1313]

Can we get some lyrics please 👉👈🥺

[@SEVEN_DUCK]

Ryo sounds exactly like sam here it's scary. Probably the most accurate vocalist portrayal on these how 2's not using the actual band's singer.

[@Aeron_foREVer]

Can't remember their names or bands, but the singers who did it for Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot were so on point !

[@Sharty___]

Close your eyes and it’s Sam. Incredible.

[@coldmoonlight6361]

Good Lord. You weren't kidding 😮

[@pmsports85]

No the disturbed was the most spot on

[@player12gaming89]

@@Aeron_foREVer yeah i think the Slipknot one was the most similar to the actual artist for both the song and the vocals

[@charliebrenton2253]

this is probably the closest Nick has ever gotten to replicating an artist. this went HARD

[@XACTIC_Valour]

The disturbed one is a close second imo

[@Safsal]

This sounds more like Architects than their last albums lmao

[@percival5697]

Its sound more like all our gods compared to their more recent albums, it doesnt sound more like architects than architects lol ​@Safsal

[@ludens1472]

Granny in the club sounds exactly like an Electric Calboy song too

Awaken in Ashes was quite close to lamb of god

This was literally the most accurate band imitation you've done. Like holy shit it sound exactly like an Architects song

[@mariofilipereira]

For real, it's insane 😳 fucking loved it

[@TriggerFingerRC]

One of best song this year lol

[@Henry14arsenal2007]

Architects were more nuanced in their songwriting, this does sound like a salad of ideas that needs more refinement, but the execution is top notch considering how little time they had, I really enjoyed it.

[@LunnchBoxx45]

I am a simple man... I see Ryo Kinoshita is involved, I click. He really showed up with some techniques I am not used to hearing come from him, and honestly he fucking nailed it!! Ryo is a DAMN good vocalist.

[@PhantoomWriter]

I love when Nik describes the drums as "putaputaputaputa" knowing VERY WELL what it means in Spanish and loving it

[@T0ria._.]

OMG THANK YOU I WAS LAUGHING MY ASS OFF😭 I was hoping that someone else flinched a little at that

[@doctormoo9444]

You fucking kill it everytime! Fucking fire!!! Also the vocalist, holy fuck! Fire performance all around.

[@TuckerMorgan-i1h]

If you’re not familiar with Ryo, listen to his new project Knosis, as well as his previous band Crystal Lake. He is one of the best metalcore vocalists of all time

[@TangenteStaub80]

Nik is literally always at his best when writing metalcore. CORE KID FOR LIFE.

Love the nod to Sam’s feature in The Sadness Will Never End Ryo did at the beginning of the song 🖤🔥

[@InFamous_Asylum6]

Please elaborate lol, I didn’t catch it 😂

[@dylanthewmusic]

@@InFamous_Asylum6 in The Sadness Will Never End by BMTH (which of course features Sam Carter) there’s a lyric that says “You’re trapped in the past like it’s six feet under.” And at the beginning (and the middle of the song) Ryo says “I’m trapped in the past like it’s six feet under.”

[@mozEXE]

Most of the lyrics in this are from Architects songs.

[@dylanthewmusic]

@@mozEXE I’m aware. I just thought it was cool they used they added bmth song on top of it

[@rowschank]

[@chrismendez7163]

This sounds like a perfect mix of Architects and Crystal Lake. Def want more!

[@jdnfss]

That would be a sick collab though. John's killing it there

[@Rowanexen]

I literally thought it was Sam Carter for a brief moment! I know how different Ryo's style can usually be, so good on him for nailing this! Loved the bleghs 🤟

[@alexdarkside115]

This is THE BEST one for sure i would NEVER think that this isn't architects, it sounds exactly like them a.k.a. perfect Ryo sounds literally like Sam, it's scary how similar it was to the band

[@wendyrevontulet]

The dream is for Ryo to ever do a feature on an Architects song so this is basically the next best thing

[@abhaykumarsingh7081]

This gave me chills. It sounds so much lime lost together lost forever and all our gods have abandoned us, the ambience the vocalist and the riffs! Ahhh I miss the old architects so much

[@davidhume4566]

omg we need a full album/ep of this

[@Corehboiii]

Dude.. this sounded like a legit architects song hes so close to sams voice its crazy. Great job immediately adding this to the playlist

[@mltproductionstudio]

Dude I know this is like a dream come true for you working with Ryo❤

[@Bloodlustian]

Man this is so accurate to Lost Together or All our gods era Architects is uncanny. Ryo knocked the vocals out of the park. Could drop it as a b side to one of their singles and no one would be any the wiser.

[@graysonloyd9024]

Holy fuck at the vocals. I didn’t think anyone could mimic Sam, but Sam. 😂 fucking beautiful

[@mariofilipereira]

...just speachless. This sounds straight out of an Architects album 😳 also, didn't knew Ryo Kinoshita prior to this. Going through some of his stuff rn and loving it so far. Thank you man. Keep doing fun metal stuff. Love from Portugal

He's one hell of a vocalist. One of the best in the game I'd say

[@iasminasacoor3261]

Olha mais um tuga

[@definitelynotgore]

If you want to hear some real shit, listen to all of the features he’s done (like Holy Roller). He always shows off on the features lmao, dudes one of the best if not thee best vocalist in the genre.

[@williamsummerson1204]

Nik and Ryo are both ridiculously talented. BLEGH!!!🤘

[@EmilPiano]

I miss this kind of Architects, hope one day they bring it back somehow

[@brandonc_096]

I would be happy even if they had a mix of the newer sound sprinkles with the older. I just really miss the low F# tuned songs with full on riffs. 😂

[@EthanolEnthusiast]

RIP Tom

[@Alvin_lox]

they will never do this again sadly tbh

[@takoshihitsamaru4675]

I dunno man, they're openly dissing their old fans (the people who helped them achieve the fame they enjoy today). I think they just want to separate themselves from their old style, might remind them too much of Tom, who's to say.

[@CroiLag]

Ryo is a beast live, I saw him in Dublin a couple years back and he helped me play a prank on my wife. Guy actually came from the merch stalls snuck up on her and just smiled at the side of her head until she noticed the creepy dude and freaked. She completely froze just starstruck, he gave her a hug and took some selfies then proceeded to drink bears and watch the headliners with us. Sickest experience ever.

[@AndrewMycol]

Bro, Ryo legit sounds alot like Sam! If I didn't know better, I would've thought yall got the actual singer for this!!
