You should check out Oblivion by Aviana

[@Cerise3544]

Tom Searle was such a great composer

[@tubadude07]

Agreed, I still watch the excerpt when he was mixing with Henrik. Just his attention to detail.

[@iOverThoughtThis]

RIP my favourite guitarist

[@LabGoats]

@@tubadude07 Could you link the video you're talking about, plz? Not sure the ones i found are what you're referring to. EDIT: Pretty sure not what you're talking about but this is sick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGXXiqWllsmMZq8

[@gtay6726]

Absolutely!! When they were touring All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, after Tom had passed, I went to their Toronto show. Sam was talking about him in between songs, and I started chanting "Tom". The whole venue followed, and it was such an emotional moment between a band and their fans. I'm just disappointed with the new album because I don't think Tom would have approved of the direction they took without him.

[@gtay6726]

@@burrelvannjr2718 Holy Hell had some great tracks, but you could hear the difference in direction. Trying to listen to the singles from the new record was painful.

[@scotty12332109]

It genuinely surprised me, how many of the older Architect and BMTH songs you haven't heard, they both got some real dirty song back there

[@NikNocturnal]

Excited to check it!

[@The_Music_Chef]

@@NikNocturnal oh you so need to react to follow the water in the Hollow Crown record

[@LH-yl1ul]

He hasn't missed them, there's no way he wouldn't have heard this. Especially given how much he likes/reacts to them. He just knows it will get views especially with how polarised people are with their new album. We all know reactions are all fake anyway, it's clear they all listen and watch them before they 'react'. That's not to say it's not fun to watch though and I do like Nic's channel he seems like a chilled dude.

[@spectre722]

@@LH-yl1ul i don't know if i fully agree with you but yeh sometimes it's kind of weird. like that ohrion dude. big time metalcore fan but hasn't listened to killswitch.. wut?

[@benscones9529]

I still think this is one of their best songs. The guitar riffs are so sick.

[@NikNocturnal]

The riffs are pure juice

[@iron_patriotmcoc6981]

Every aspect of it is great

[@METALBIRB]

One of the best Architects songs from one of their best albums

[@NikNocturnal]

I def need to check more!

[@danofthesouth]

after they went all Alexisonfire (which these days I quite like btw), this album coming out like this has to be one of the most satisfying returns by a band in the scene ever. Felt like everyone fell in love with Architects again

[@AlexMartinez-cu5bw]

@@danofthesouth I never listened to The Here and Now, does it really sound like Alexisonfire?

[@markarmstrong5234]

@@AlexMartinez-cu5bw it’s a fantastic album but don’t expect it to sound like anything else they’ve done. It’s not exactly like Alexisonfire but there are similarities. Unfortunately the backlash to the album was so violent that it made the band hate it and they never play any of it anymore.

[@jbasti227]

Abso-fucking-lutely

[@adamcastillo3976]

Daybreaker is a top 3 Architects album for me. Seriously does not get the love it deserves.

[@sebastianbnks2817]

Totally agree 😄👌

[@patbateman8116]

Exactly 🤘

[@MrBradso]

Yeah, I feel this. It always slips under my radar. Re-listening, Outsider Heart, Alpha Omega, and These Colours Don't Run all go so hard. So much dissonance on this album. Great sound.

[@hounsdjentlow3074]

My joint favorite archibros album. Got alpha omega's ending lyrics on my forearm ❤

[@PathologicallyIncurious]

So friggin good

[@thedroidattackonthewookies2164]

@@NikNocturnal Devils Island is my fav from the album...please review it

[@ianrojas7124]

Tom Searle- The real Architect🖤

[@bd5067]

Fight me, this is one of their best riffs ever written imo. 3:04 is pure gold and no matter how many times that part comes up, I always bite my lip and bop my head, it's fire.

[@BradTheThird]

Mmmm, gotta admit, that *is* tasty. Buuut, the Doomsday riff exists and (in my opinion) that's a hard one to top.

[@blackmamba5659]

Hereafter verse riff, Dying To Heal verse riff and Mortal After All verse riff are also straight fire

[@Fefkuify]

Agree 100% Easily the best Architects riff imo

[@w328x]

That riff got me into playing guitar👌🏼👌🏼

[@blockg9482]

The riff on daybreak was also hard but this riff is fire!

[@IvanZigamet]

"These colours don't run" from that album is pure gold, check it out!

[@seembou]

oh yeah, to the top

[@dominicdalise4956]

A classic, check out their song Alpha Omega

[@thomasleerling]

One of my favorites!!!!

[@RodHxC]

I became a fan when I listened to that song a long time ago. Definitely a dope song.

[@Mora-tp1rl]

SUN OF GOD, SUN IN THE SKY. IF YOU COULD SPEAK I'M SURE YOU'D SAY: THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN MEETS THE EYE!!!!! It gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to that part

[@NikNocturnal]

Heart legit did the hurt

[@stuffy_halford]

if u havent heard it before, devils island is rlly freaking good

[@ifwecouldonlyseeusnow]

easily on of the best songs of their's. back in the day i used to listen to this song on repeat 24/7, that's about how good this song is

[@josephprince3111]

Let's hope Nick gets more sponsors so he can react to old songs 🤣

[@NikNocturnal]

me too :D

[@obsidiangaming1817]

*”Just chonky chugs again”* Life changing words from Nik

[@ty6633]

One of their most underrated songs, definitely in my top 5 of theirs

[@ZackNewell]

I legit never heard this song until recently, and I am a huge architects fan. I think it was on a deluxe edition of Daybreaker.

[@JacksonThornhill]

No it was on the original,blood bank was on the deluxe version

[@ZackNewell]

@@JacksonThornhill I have the original infront of me on cd. Unbeliever is the last song on it. The deluxe edition has 4 extra songs on it.

[@JacksonThornhill]

@@ZackNewell oh shit my bad

Yep. Strangely Nik keeps choosing the B Sides and bonus tracks in their back catalogue

[@SandroPinghost]

You definitely gotta check out some Ruin and Hollow Crown era Architects.

[@elbatoumiq666]

Yes very much please

[@Jason-pg6ho]

I seriously recommend listening to ‘The Price of Grace’ by Convictions, I know you’ll love the breakdowns

honestly, this is such an underrated song from Architects and one that i keep going back to because everything about it is amazing. you gotta check out Convictions, man! The Price of Grace or The War that Followed Me Home are bangers!

[@ayaanfaridi4296]

Year in Year out/ Up and away easily the most underrated track from architects

[@tomlongley4834]

Hope this song never gets dropped from live sets, unbelievable song

[@Laralalos]

Did they play it often at their shows?

[@knoblaut]

@@Laralalos Fairly. They played it all through the Lost Forever tour cycle and quite a lot of the Holy Hell tours

[@marcelloruvolo]

Watching Nik taking the jump scares was the funniest thing tho

[@TwinkleToesLorna]

back then (not saying they still don't do that) their every song would just pump me up, made me wanna scream from anger, triumph, made me wanna headbang at that weird part of the song near the end, that's not even a chorus, but just pure breakdown. also, i always appreciated his screams were so comprehensible. i can actually hear and understand the lyrics.

[@Clapton803]

This man needs to listen to Early Grave

[@PathologicallyIncurious]

Chills. That damn song is so hood.

[@PathologicallyIncurious]

I meant “Good” but hood works too 😂

[@mrsbeard5225]

Right! Where are the OGs at?!

[@3DWithLairdWT]

fucking YES

[@Jonas-yp4sz]

You should react to Follow the Water - another great and even older Architects classic.

[@malcolmk2878]

For the life of me I wish Nik would comment on how fucking poignant the lyrics are. This is hands down the most underrated Architects song. An absolute treasure.

[@rsownageXxX]

Joined nail the mix for this one. The Other Half of Me is so close to how I want my current project to sound so I can't wait

[@lostandscattered]

You should cover this song. That pull off riff is HARD

[@smrtsvta]

Architects and Bring Me the Horizon old songs. You need to do all.

[@NikNocturnal]

ok

[@PepeSilvia22]

Gotta check out the track 'Daybreak'. That riff is one of my all time favourite riffs. So good!

[@mattywrecks8727]

One of my fav old architects songs, shit still bangs

[@andrewfletcher4329]

I honestly love metalcore choruses

[@williampoulin6526]

The harsh parts allow your ears to enjoy the choruses more

[@Jutz3rr]

Ma boi Nik should check out Above, Below - Melt the Amber. Djenty bois no one should sleep on!

[@anchlo]

Dead Man Talking by Architects is a banger if you haven't heard LF//LT

[@mortycorn_2556]

I was so excited to see that you finally reacted to Black Blood. One of my fave Architects songs! For some other older Architects to react to: Outsider Heart; Repeat, Rewind or Devil‘s Island maybe! :)

[@sunnymu5174]

Its one of my favorite architects song ever and I can’t believe you haven’t listend to this song before!

^^^^ same fam

[@pat1x179]

in this song when singing sam sounds like the vocalist of The Word Alive

[@CrusherHF]

As a newer metalhead/corekid. This series is really helpful

[@MidnightSky1821]

Thanks to tons of KZbin comments about this band, I am glad I gave them a listen.

[@Fearothy]

Even though it's not their usual heavy stuff, I would love to see a reaction to Loathe's "Two-Way Mirror". This song caught my attention about two weeks ago and have been hooked to it since. Another suggestion is "I Disagree", by Poppy. Also a banger and unsettles me every time

[@tekjess_]

This is the architects that I love. They make good stuff in any case, but this stuff is dope.

[@yasinjak5365]

From Black and Blue (BMTH) to Black Blood and Black Lungs 😅

[@acaeleus]

This will always be my favorite Architects album. Super underrated.

[@amyad0rable]

Sam always goes off on the vocals hah Follow the water is an older one that you would love

As Blood Runs Black - My Fears Have Become Phobias

[@mrsbeard5225]

Dooooooooooooooooood

[@99BrettK]

One of my faves by them! Love your content brother! If you'd never heard of Mutiny Within, definitely one of the most underrated bands ever. I think you'll like them a lot. Their most popular song is Awake from their first of three albums.

[@lilmonkmonk808]

tear gas by Architects slaps

Definitely one of my favorite Architects songs

[@xKuragu]

This was THE album. Devil's Island is a personal favourite. So gr00vy.

[@ryangeib253]

I’m sure it’s been requested before, it really needs to be added to the Spotify playlist: Dyscarnate - Iron Strengthens Iron Not many bouncy death metal bangers out there like this one, especially for a three-piece

[@withthewlvs8526]

Such an underrated track 🔥 Ten56-Diazepam next? 🤙🏼

[@ghostnerddd133]

Love it when Nik goes back to goldmines like this

[@akitt2]

You stumbled upon a gem. Such an underrated song

[@PwnAN00b]

Please check out some dyscarnate! Traitors in the palace, iron strengthens iron, or this is fire. Any one of those are equally phenomenal

[@Saerob]

If you haven't listened to Chelsea Smile yet, it's worth a reaction (album version preferably)

[@firebrand9578]

From the Wilderness and Silver Bullet are some more sick Architects tracks you should check out

[@Crotes1990]

Alpha Omega off the same album is also a top tier banger

[@swinbag]

Love this album - you should check out These Colours Don't Run if you haven't already.

[@aaronsearle5809]

Still hard to comprehend Toms passing, such talent and musicianship.. (I'm in no way related to the Searle brothers either) just a coincidence last name. Though if Nic would like more requests that I'm unaware he has checked out: Band: Tetrarch: Album: Freak EP: Negative Noise Any of these song would be right up Nic Nocturnals ally I'd figure, only just discovered them randomly on YT. If Nic Nocturnal had some sort of Discord or something to take requests, but it would be overwhelming I guess.

[@mozEXE]

Architects- To the Death, the Sam Carter version, listen to that

[@PathologicallyIncurious]

“CHEESE! It just goes!” Ahahaha every single Architects song (in my own mind). I can’t listen and not bob my head.

[@alwaysvile]

I'd love to see him go BACK BACK to like Hollow Crown era. You want sum chug? You'll get some chug baby.

[@onekidneystan4330]

You gotta react to 'These Colours Don't Run' best Architects breakdown. Also check out their 2019 Vainstream set, they sound amazing

Still going to suggest the random bangers I stumbled upon once again lol. Please check out we are perspectives-"gallows" and Never Back Down-"we are the ones" you won't regret it man!!

[@gangstergnock5813]

Oi ty for Never back down had it on bookmark before but i didnt exist anymore its truly a banger :D

[@t6fore]

You must react to Early Grave then, that’s a song which made most of the people to get into Architects

[@tylershort4431]
