Country Singer Reacts To Bring Me The Horizon Parasite Eve

[@mesahnan5316]

BMTH is a band that changes u can’t expect them to stay the same

[@MatthewRunaway]

Agreed! They’ve always been moving!

[@noteminemsburneraccount324]

I hope they keep this sound they finally found something that fits olis voice since he kinda destroyed it

[@Inn0IWNL]

they're always ahead but not too much that no one gets them

[@GamerDaSkater]

Yeah oli and the band are super talented . Oli writes his own lyrics , edits his own videos and produces his music videos which is extremely talented and versatile

[@MatthewRunaway]

That’s crazy! Makes sense though! With there brand being so good! It’s personal to oil!

[@miserirken]

Oli isn't just a posterboy as haters use to describe him, but a complete frontman, he does way much than just singing, he's core to what BMTH is, as songwriter and producer. i swear Oli is absurdly talented, he and the whole band deserve the best, they've worked hard and it shows, like damn with Ludens and Parasite Eve it's clear they're doing great stuff and i can't way to hear more from 'em.

[@beccagirly9397]

Actually they started writing this song before coronavirus was a big thing. I believe they even considered holding off on it because of how much it related to what was going on.

[@MatthewRunaway]

True! I could see why they would but I think it worked out well! Crazy they pretty much predicted the future!

Also can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that they use silence as a musical element to this song? The quiet moments before the drops just add so much, it's something you rarely see in songs but it's so powerful

Matthew Runaway The premier they did for the video he talked about how he edited it and how one of their members was in LA so he had to FaceTime the person doing the recording in LA then he edited it all together he came up with the whole concept of the video he such a talented artist

That’s so cool! Crazy to think that’s how it was made!!

Absolutely man ☺️

[@MakimaMelee]

The part coming out of the breakdown where they play that little scale is my favorite part of this song. It hits so hard, and is really creative.

[@mang058]

They actually worked with Mick Gordon on this song, he was the man behind the DOOM soundtrack

[@mattemm469]

I feel like with Parasite and Ludens they’re making a conglomeration of their past work and making something truly beautiful with it

[@xDarkTrinityx]

Im a big fan of them trying new things, I love how they're experimenting with different sounds. Great sci fi feel to this one.

[@icuxshort792]

Bring me the horizon is my all time favorite band!!! I've been a fan since they're first album!!! Iv also seen them live 4 times amazing show!! In my opinion even though they keep changing there sound I think they're getting better and better!! Great reaction!!!

[@MatthewRunaway]

Thank you so much! It’s funny like like the new stuff but game changing album was crazy good!

[@AvEnGeD7X238]

Love your explanation of the guitar going lower and not coming back up. It honestly makes the song so much better, it’s like a slow progression almost

[@nathanpolk503]

Such an honest, raw, and true reaction! You musician hit some great points in the song and truly help us understand your perspective on the song. I just subbed to your channel because you bring good energy and some really good knowledge about certain aspects in the songs. Thank you for drawing me in your channel mate

[@chris.nanite]

The song actually wasn't inspired by the Coronavirus pandemic at all. It was actually inspired by the old playstation 1 game "Parasite Eve" they started writing the song a little while before the coronavirus got so out of hand. They stated that the similarities with their lyrics to the things happening in the world were scary and it motivated them to finish this song in particular because they felt it was something they felt the world needed right now.

[@mdolly5506]

Sorry I am late to your show but I want to start with saying that it is awesome to see that you can show such respect for another genre of music when you are obviously talented in a whole different genre. I also love that professional breakdown and opinion of the guitar! Parasite Eve is just an amazing song I've been a huge fan of BMTH forever and the day it was released I was completely blown away and gained a new level of respect for these guys.

[@colbymaxwell8953]

Man, I’ve been watching you with Wyatt! Bout to check out your music. You should definitely think about coming to Beaumont, TX. We love country music and beer. But love that you enjoy this kind of music as well.

[@MatthewRunaway]

HELL YEAH Brother!! I've been to TX a lot! I love it there! I really hope to go back soon if the world will calm down !!

[@gikigiio]

Great Channel Man! Greetings from Brazil

[@Monius13]

I love how it teases you. It doesn't always go where you expect it to, but it's a pleasant surprise! That breakdown is amazing! I love it so much! the "eh-eh Oh-Oh!" is just pure bliss for me. Along with the first post-chorus breakdown. The bass just makes me so happy! They bring it all together so well and it gets better every time I hear it! Edit: Forgot to mention that my favorite thing about it is how it plays with tension and suspense. The video helps push this, but even on its own, it does a perfect job at it! The second pre-chorus really pushes this. When he starts screaming a bit at "This is the moment you've been waiting for." It constantly evolves the whole time. Then when the chorus repeats, too, the speed increases, but keeps that momentum going. Sorry, I'm blabbing. I just love this so much! xD Thank you for the video!

[@emilymcgaffney2847]

Also just saying they made this song entirely under quarantine and thru video calls and stuff. They are incredible! Oli’s voice is remarkable in this. I love it.

[@profaneera6962]

I like how you breakdown the guitar work on the chorus. I think that's how they keep the chorus heavy

[@kassandraenglmann17]

I just found this song and have been listening to it non stop! This is one of the sickest songs they have done. You can definitely hear the changes from Ludens to this song. I honestly thing that Oli Sykes has been trying to get his voice back because he damaged it really badly. I think those talking verses are to give him a break to be honest. They were definitely more prominent in Ludens but that was done a while ago and he is STILL recovering I think. As a vocalist, I appreciate how he is taking it step by step and introducing more and more. It's like it's getting built back up. Anyway, this song is sick and I'm so glad everyone appreciates it.

[@lewismackay9533]

The song was written before covid, it was about a japanese super bug that was growing immune to heat thanks to climate change. They delayed it due to covid and weren't sure if they should release it or not.

[@Kelven486]

This is why I enjoy watching reaction videos... discovering new music like this. I'd never have found this group otherwise! You up for checking out one of the best hard rock bands coming out of Japan? I strongly recommend checking out Band-Maid, they are insanely talented musicians.

[@GluttonousLmg]

It's based off the 90s game called Parasite Eve, I love it Also Ludens is from the game called Death Stranding

[@MetsMania15]

I only really have two “complaints”, for lack of a better term, about this song. The breakdown was definitely good, but I feel like it had untapped potential in it. Oli decided to go with more of a higher-ranged yell on “this is a WAR”. I feel like if he went with a mid-range scream instead, it would’ve hit so much harder. I also feel like he tried to force the coronavirus concept in the lyrics a bit too much. It was a cool concept to write about for sure, it just didn’t feel natural in some areas. Overall though, the production is absolutely amazing, instrumentals were exactly what I hoped for, and Oli’s vocals shined as well. This is a very good song that I’ll have on repeat for awhile.

[@MatthewRunaway]

I actually really agree with what you say! The breakdown felt like it was going to be crushing and it just wasn’t! And the COVID was a bit pushed in there!

[@thelongestdongrod190]

The thing about the lyrics is that he wrote them before the covid outbreak happened, theres a series of vlogs they made that shows the production process of the song, and he definitely wrote the lyrics before the outbreak happened

[@MatthewRunaway]

Oh true ok! Man he almost predicted what was going to happen in the world!

[@MetsMania15]

TheLongestDong Rod I was actually following that vlog series. It seemed like he started writing them in late February/early March when he was able to write in-person with the band, and then finished them during the pandemic when they had to switch to a remote songwriting process, because you see him writing lyrics on a tablet multiple times in that series while stuck at home. That’s probably where some of those kinda forced references came from, because he wanted to capture the time we were living in, which I respect the fuck out of.

[@MatthewRunaway]

Does all the band live in the US or do they still live in the UK? Do you guys know?

[@yaboicynical5276]

I believe BMTH said they weren’t working on putting an album together and they’re just going to put out singles as they make them. Which is dopppeeeee.

[@frank.tbunny8472]

It’s a reference to a PS1 game, but is very relevant to what’s happening now for obvious reasons

[@richardsinclair7661]

I was surprised how much I liked this song. I typically listen to a lot of heavier stuff. Bands like Immolation, Anaal Nathrahk, Nails, and other stuff. If you're not familiar with those bands specifically, they're death metal, grindcore + a billion other things, and powerviolence (hardcore punk and grindcore's somehow even more pissed off baby) respectively. Anyway, I'm not averse to BMTH. In fact, I used to listen to them heavily back when Sempiternal came out. I haven't listened since then, and I wasn't a huge fan of their transition in sound. This was great though. I love the marriage of dirty electronic sounds with the guitars. Makes me want to dance and mosh at the same time. I'm with you on the breakdown, I was expecting a big drop, a la their old days, but the early 2000s rock riffing was still fun. This convinces me that I've gotta give that's the spirit and te amo a fair shot.

OMG some ppl make things up as they go along.. Jordan Fish is the mastermaind behind a lot of the songs produced by BMTH, yes Oli Sykes has his imput but the main man for production is Jordan Fish.. If you even bothered to follow and watch the whole production on FB which was released daily during the making of this piece then you would know this was done under total lockdown each in their own homes and linked via media. The whole piece was then put together and then the group met up at some point (Not sure it it was the USA or UK ) for the video shoot, and yes one member was in LA, but remember one thing this was a masterpiece run and put together by the brilliant Jordan Fish. Wyatt Stav, although i also follow and respect your opinion, with respect i believe AMO was crap (With 3 respectable songs) and i think you know it, its not the true BMTH, it was experimental.. they lost a lot of fans through that album.
