[@m3t4ldood]

now lets do a sad dad metal video {i.e staind ,cold,evans blue,ect HMU🤘🥴

[@Cyppress86]

OMG that sounds actually great!

[@cobrasys]

Nik, what are the chances of getting this published on YT Music and/or Tidal? Pretty please with some "ow-ah-ah-ah-ah"s on top?

[@cobrasys]

@@JajekXDD Ooh, nice. I'll take a look. Thanks!

[@andreaalesse6906]

The chorus 🤘🤘😍😍

[@jellyfishprime1]

Justin's vocals sound like an AI-generated average between Chester from Linkin Park, David from Disturbed, and Jonathan from Korn

[@gatling216]

It's a little freaky how neatly he balanced that.

[@TheGorgoth]

or like Eric Cartman)

[@zakfigueroa3751]

I was gonna say between Chester Bennington and Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation

[@MrDjfacepunch]

Sounds like Edsel Dope.

[@thedwightshrutefanclub4504]

​@@MrDjfacepunch the verses sound like the perfect combo of Edsel dope and David draimann

[@ZIMBO37333]

I'm impressed by how smooth the transition from Disturbed into Limp Bizkit and then into Linkin Park is.

[@chopsticks_8089]

and then somehow throwing in Korn too, this vocalist is insane

[@TheSalaho1]

Yeah I noticed that fred durst voice 😮

[@M._ky1]

Yeaahhhh He has all the votes. Chester, Fred, and Jonathan

[@M._ky1]

And david

[@HungryLights]

Thanks for letting me be part of this zoometal banger! Love you, dude!

[@johnsaks6127]

Justin your vocals on this are so spot on

[@mr.unluckyoffical]

Absolutely ridiculous Justin you managed to channel at least five numetal artists 🤯

[@Unwedged]

ayyy

[@nielskoolstra]

Aww man, I saw that blurred image of you and I just knew it had to be you. You killed it man!

[@justanothershirerat7584]

Holy shit you are insane. these vocals are so on point and love how crazy you got before the Breakdown with that "Oh shit the Ayahuasca-induced Jungle shaman summoned the wrong spirit again" - shit

[@LoganRonin-vn2we]

Now we need a song entirely made of fish noises since you mentioned BASS.

[@ottawanuck6048]

This comment made me think of Metalocalypse and their whole concept album of making metal for fish lol

[@Caring570]

Fish-core with George Fisher but he just makes death metal fish noises

[@mohammedaminefarid8389]

Now that you've mentioned it, what are fish noises? blub-blub-blub?

[@LoganRonin-vn2we]

@@mohammedaminefarid8389 Maybe Glub-Glub? xD

[@chupasaurus]

@@ottawanuck6048 Fish cover of Go Into the Water? Sounds brutal enough

[@BallisticStigmata]

Justin is such an underrated vocalist. Discovered him quite some time ago as a random YT suggestion doing vocal covers and he blew me away with his range.

[@chasejohnson96]

Dude. This is a fantastic channel direction. It’s easy to see that Nik is thriving again and the art reflects that reality. You are a national treasure for these projects. Holy crap.

[@Slypooch]

Looks like hes having more fun

[@phaaaze9984]

Yea I was getting tired of the same-y reaction content. This stuff is great and just shows his creativity and skill

[@matthewkerns4939]

This has all the feels. The higher chugawugas, the rappity roombopahdoies, the synthetiesynths, the prechorus to chorus sexy sauce and sweet breakdown, masterful guitar playing, and them vocals too. Keep it up!

[@andrw.-]

5:46 bro sounds like congested Chester Bennington

[@heighwaymusic]

Chester Cartman

[@Ackovs]

Nik literally writes songs for fun and YT/Twitch content that some bands would kill to get on their albums

[@NoSleepIsland]

As a big nu-meral fan, I couldn't help myself from smiling ear to ear hearing this come together. And the finished song made the hair on my neck stand up.

[@CameronsMusic]

These full versions are singles... An album is coming our way... Maybe...

[@ghosface353]

He got 6 so far, so half way through. If he keeps up with his there will be.

[@CameronsMusic]

@@ghosface353 Who's to say an album has to have 12 songs? It can have 10! Or 29!

[@fantraine7148]

@@CameronsMusic generally records cap album sizes at 12, so most bands do 12 songs per album.

[@CameronsMusic]

UPDATE: I CALLED IT!

[@jackratten3906]

I hope you make an album with these songs I’ve loved every single one you’ve made

[@Rain-hg4di]

It's official the world needs a full nu metal album done by you and justin.

[@duffman9908]

That elephant is the perfect horn to reset off of. Well done Nik and Justin.

[@nobicepz]

Skindred and Linkin Park made a baby here

[@buckdancer421]

"Don't be surprised when you die cuz you suck" is lyric of the year for sure

[@zalezmetal5150]

Amazing combination on this vocals. This track deserves to be on a super album!

[@nenzlin]

Justin’s vocals reminds me of otep’s in their 2007 album the ascension!!

[@steaksaucebitch]

justin deserves all the respect in the world for being able to sound this extremely nu-metal while also being able to sound extremely deathcore in other songs when he needs to

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

That "wrong" synth note at 3:03 actually was a dissonance that wouldnt be uncommon at all in a nü metal song. Very Korn-like

[@chrismouton1985]

Bro...how? How did you manage to blend Korn, Disturbed, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit? It's masterful! Well done to the vocalist!

[@davidwoods7221]

Banger after banger. I'm loving this new outlet Nik 🤘

[@andrewwinslow9315]

I remember when Justin was hanging out with Rob Gavagan playing some indie game. Now he is bringing Nu Metal back. This guy is seriously living my dream

[@JorgeLRojas-95]

Just with that blur I KNEW that was Justin Bonitz. Biggest W

[@ignaciomotion]

loving those harmonics in the verse too. man nu metal is my jam.

[@Nbrandon13]

I just found this channel and it’s awesome! Started at slipknot song and now I’m hooked, you’ve earned this sub

[@sabres6sic616]

Bruh the full release songs from your how to whatever in 30 seconds go fuckin hard. Keep up the good work brotha 🤘

[@SChimera]

How can somethihg feel so early 2000s, late 90's nostaligc but be so modern, nailed the sound of it for sure

[@OneWolfe22]

that breakdown completely blew me the hell away, great job as always Nik. Justin blew the roof off too

[@copyshy]

I've been waiting for this since the stream, it's definitely didn't disappoint at all :D

[@mmurphy84]

Dude, I am a big fan of your reactions. It’s how I got to your channel. And when you said you were gonna slow that down and focus on more original content, I wasn’t sure what to think. But my dude. The shit you’ve been doing is so creative, so awesome, next level cool and entertaining. Keep it up!

[@markhillan4038]

I can't find the words that accurately describe the nostalgic ear to ear smile I'm now beaming all over the place ! Meshuggah next please ! 😁😁😁

[@jpump8007]

it's so cool! it would be cool to see collaborations with Justin more often! both of you are just fire!

[@edwardfordyce6174]

Wow, that was legitimately awesome and I had flashbacks to driving home from Bob Evans after closing and having the radio up and Korn, LP, and Disturbed and all those bands playing. Simpler time. Thank you

[@kylesiegrist2457]

My dude went a little Mud Korn in the bridge and I love it !

[@invisibilly1946]

By far my favorite in this series of videos thus far

[@DwellingJello]

More nik noc chonks, God we're getting blessed with these vods

[@adriangalvan1653]

Honestly my favorite song you’ve done really brings back the old high school memories and I love it 😂

[@rhabeldibabeldi6812]

I sooo much ,entipiated Justin as the vocalist of that video but my neighbour didn't appreciate my excitement screaming after seeing Justin. Both of you are freaking amazing and my neighbours don't know what good music sounds like 😂

[@redfoxcorky2029]

I could listen to a whole nu metal album with Nik and Justin, this is the best nu metal song of the year, hands down

[@GussyOSRS]

It's fucking awesome watching you make these man, the enjoyment you get from it is contagious. Well done, solid track! Can't wait for the next one!

[@baboner1046]

Coming back to this song as I do every now and then. God damn is it good!

[@DarkMustard1337]

I am not the biggest fan of Tallah but his voice is totally meant for nu metal, just perfect.

[@xxTacolord]

Justin goes so hard, this is the colalb I've been waiting for! Crushed it!

[@gobblegobble7]

Everyone loves to dunk on nu-Metal but you can’t help but feel it. Look how much fun they had making this. 😂

[@jasonpoland5507]

I can’t get this song out of my head since you out this out. I can’t. I keep listening over and over

[@gamefan6142]

Nik just seriously used an elephant noise as a breakdown callout. Now I've seen it all.

[@marcelowiek]

Man, Nik just invited Hungry Lights, how awesome is that?????

[@danielc3321]

That is the nu metal-est album art I've ever seen. The lyrics sound like you asked Chat GPT to write them. It's perfect!

[@PProph]

So this is what it sounds like when Disturbed and LP write a song together. Man I love this content from NN, can't get enough.

[@sorooshisonfire7601]

Yooo, even blurred I immediately recognised Justin and after was just waiting eagerly to hear the song

[@WrathfulCat585]

I'm not surprised it's good...amazing incredible..THEY ALL ARE! Nik is the best.

[@WrathfulCat585]

BTW Justin is amazing as well.

[@SpitFireShad]

This might be the best fast track you’ve done. And Bonitz? Fuck yes.!!! And for those sleeping in Tallah…shame on you.

[@jonorsl]

These new songs are so good!

[@jaredmbrill]

Bro this is throwback. Sick AF.

[@goldenpie6]

Justin really is just such a phenomenal vocalist in all ways. Sounds absolutely like a crazy person

[@skunkypubgm1583]

I knew the first time Justin got blewn up by Jared, him acouple months later deleted all his videos, he went through pretty tough times. Glad to see he got back on his feet and doing awesome things!!

[@jpk1106]

Zoidberg killed me 😂😂😂 duuude❤ oh and btw. freaking awesome Song

[@mvyper]

It feels like that early 2000s period of Crazy Town, when they were trying to sound like Linkin Park to stay on top. I was back at 15 for a few minutes.

[@manuelvargas395]

After listening to this song, I was suddenly wearing Jnco jeans with a wallet chain, a Spitfire shirt, and my hair was spiky.

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

7:08 *"I one got one life gawumlagamdawum!"*

[@ImAsTraLGFX]

I fucking love this guys vocals

[@chazcornejo8761]

That breakdown goes HARD🤘🤘🤘

[@FairyCRat]

Easily the best song ever since you started doing these videos

[@pondultimatum]

This is the greatest shit that have hit my ears in months. Kudos 👏👏

[@DanHovington]

Dude, this is actually really really good !

[@Occultus947]

The only thing that would have made this more complete, would have been a whole-a$$ brow piercing and some studded pants! Dude fantastic job! Justin has some of the best vocals I've heard in a good long while, and you absolutely killed it. Very strong Disturbed/Linkin Park/KoRn vibes, and it works out just so perfect. I was quizzical when you started using animal noises from the get-go, but DUDE it just works! This unique beastie is being mounted on my playlist, and it's audio file will be passed down like an heirloom until my great-great grandkids decide to yeet my keister off of a cliff in order to run off with the inheritance of easily-sold goods, leaving all the good stuff for a future civilization to find (or someone at Goodwill in year 2100 or so).

[@awg6397]

Dude bounced between Chester and the singer from Dry Cell

[@tanuta_tanuki7411]

めちゃくちゃ好き！最高！

[@KSanofficial]

Justin ate too much Korn for dinner before smashing this one out but I completely love it!

[@De_rare]

Awesome!!! These are great. Now do an Electric Callboy interpretation and have them react to it.

[@zerikafox1595]

Yo, Nik! You should do a "How to Static-X in 30 seconds"! Their style is pretty distinctive, I think, and could make for a fun video.

[@look-yonder]

at 1:09 my guy sounded like Joe from Family guy. 💀

[@bahamut7182]

This is strait up FIRE!! BRING BACK NU METAL!!

[@mkoi228]

I think the track is a banger, but I have to be honest with you man, how did those harmonics get to the final production? I would take them out completely and the song would be flawless. Despite that, great job, great content and a great singer as well. Cheers!

[@adamsabo332]

Bro all of these kind of vids you make are fcking bangers! never stop! :D

[@TheTheAndreiasantos]

I couldn't think of a better vocalist for this... My favorite vocalist rn. Love you Justin ❤❤

[@metalico1194]

You gotta make an album out of these

[@dwaynerobertson3538]

Nik Nocturnal x Hungry Lights is the collaboration I never knew I needed in my life. This has mad Linkin Park vibes 😳

[@Arch_Twisted]

My body is a Temple. And I'm willing to tattoo the chorus on it.

[@the_cacco]

I just realized how much Justin looks like Sean o malley

[@koshelevustal]

I enjoy your new content so much. These songs all sond amazing and creative.

[@BalloonInTheBalloon]

NU-metal sorts under the label "Things that did not age well" :D

[@paulvandekamp6774]

Elmo killed me and that elephant was what was needed in 2023

[@Seven7Pain1]

Justin was perfect pick for this he's got that chester b and Mike s Linkin park vibe and at end he threw little mudvayne Chad and Korn John at end 🤘🏼🤙

[@guitarskooter]

Linkin Park meets Disturbed meets Static X meets Korn. Nice.

[@blakecrawford-3204]

A Big part of Nu' Metal is if it can be a Pro Wrestling Theme. I Like this.

[@shokill]

Literally loved that. Holy shit. I just joke about nu-metal normally, nowadays. Haha. That was quite good.

[@jamesc5801]

This is stupidly entertaining!!! MOAR!!!

[@gaelcross]

There's a bit of Limp Bizkit vibe in the second verse vocals x)

[@maksimbobikov1696]

It's a new great band - "Disturbed Park"))

[@flowkap6911]

Noooo way Justin doing the vocals!!! 🎉

[@shiningsun4023]

Justin is an artist for real. With everything he does. Special kind of person. Always was I guess xD Baaanger song by the way

[@Doctor-Stoppage]

WWE should just hire Nik to write all their promo music.
