Metal Musician Reacts to Darko US | Donna |

[@DanielEarl]

Nik: This is the HEAVIEST, CHONKIST, BANGING band ever. Song intro: soft ambient guitar and clean vocals Nik: *Visible confusion

[@camallred142]

Yeah, seriously

Amazing band

Fact

[@eyelovebrothersmusic]

you can say that again!

[@jonpaulcuzon5892]

"Sometimes you don't need breakdown to make a song heavy" definitely. Or you can have both to make a heavy heavy like Constance.

[@residentevilclone]

Constance was one of my favorite tracks last year. This song isn’t even close.

[@adamrussell6967]

This years feels are reals songs like this and constance really have hit different

[@sonitgorla4125]

@@residentevilclone does it look like anyone cares about your opinion ?

[@collinmackin5911]

@@sonitgorla4125 It’s his opinion. Just because you don’t care about it does not mean he isn’t allowed to have an opinion. Stop being an edge lord.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

The vocals are absolutely phenomenal, you can just feel the emotion

[@red.4712]

oh hey, you have a good taste in music too??

[@diyarhasani9118]

Uaral,jason molina(Let me go) vocals with alot of emotions I guess

[@damiancenteno9829]

I STILL DONT KNOW HONWYOU SEEM TO BE OMNISCIENT. YOU EVEN LIKE METAL?! That's cool at least

[@Whoazers01]

"I'm expecting to get extra destroyed" Not like this though

[@pitchwayne]

This

[@R-Dub241]

For real.

[@Drummerbrah16]

*tears in my eyes* Not like this

[@SeenFeen]

Nik was expecting to get destroyed. Idk why he's so confused about getting emotionally destroyed

[@KennySchafer]

I love that bands are showcasing their range in genre and talent. I hope more comes from this and Spiritbox. Even Gideon has some stuff similar in range!

[@Loleasyclass]

Can't forget about Whitechapel either. Phil Bozeman has some great cleans. Especially in the acoustic version of Hickory Creek.

[@torbeno96]

Can you name some of the Gideon songs? I'm interested 😀

"What can this dude not dude" - Nik Nocturnal 2021

[@SpaghettiWithMeatSauce]

This sounds weird, but I really like they way you plug your merch and channel. Super quick and painless but very obvious where we need to go to check out your other stuff. You don't spend 5 minutes like a lot of channels do. Props to that

[@VasKurtas]

Nik said at stream that he doesn't understand these people who puts tons of ads and in description there are links to all their stuff and merch at first place, before the song. But he himself does it :/

[@frost6006]

@@VasKurtas It's literally him promoting just himself for like, 10 seconds. Stop whining

[@Krayvune]

Constance by spiritibox and this song hurt right in the feels.

[@Matt_Nor]

Proof that love is incredibly heavy Human connection is the absolute worst and best

[@XxMechaxWolfxX]

Legit bawling while eating my taco bell rn, wtf bro I was NOT ready

[@aaaargl]

this got me all teared up bruh. thinking of my grandma that passed away 6 years ago.

[@moneton8627]

Exact same thing here, even the number of years are the same. Constance by Spiritbox had the same effect on me as well. Remembering all the good times but also the hard time right before her passing, slipping in and out of coma and didnt recognise me the last time i met her

[@jj_sakoo]

Same here bro. My grandma and grandpa passed away a month apart, about 2-3 years ago. More times I hear this song more I will cry I guess.

[@ascqnd]

L bozo 😂😂😂 only in ohio am i right 😉

[@ryry8552]

Dude I had the same exact reaction! Then I listened with lyrics and I found myself a sobbing mess about losing marriage and family. Absolute musical genius this band 🖤🤘💔

[@amelia1722]

this song makes me ✨big sad✨ edit: coming up on three years without my dad so this shit hits hard

[@holymorphzephyr5989]

I can understand your pain. The loss of a loved one is always hard. My mother died when I was 13, I'm 27 now, and the pain is still there. The part that hit home for me was when the man was hugging what he thought was his wife/daughter.

[@shuffletoexpress123]

this really hits me too, my mother in law has stage 4 and everyday she gets worse. first time i heard this song i was at work... had to really hold back the water works :(

[@aaradicatin12]

I lost my dad when I was 10 in 2014. He only fought stomach cancer for three months, but everyday after those three months, I wished I used that time better with him :( It's insane how fast time has gone and how little the regret has changed at all.

[@zelda50633]

April is the 3 years for losing my dad, hang in there it gets easier. It's tough, it is definitely tough, but life will get better

[@amelia1722]

@@holymorphzephyr5989 I’m sorry for your loss, this song & video is definitely a powerful reminder of the loss of a loved one.

[@KidKat__]

This song made me have to sit back and gather myself again. It's been four years to the day since I lost my grandpa. Meant the world to me. This destroyed me alright, emotionally. Amazing song though, really shows their dedication to making whatever the fuck they want, and making it work. Huge talent, much respect.

[@mrgagarin4384]

A new wave of sad emotional videos, asked SpiritBox, this song/video so good , and beautiful.

[@waynevolkov6114]

I'm just hearing this now, this is insanely good I can't believe Tom barber can do this style.

[@Silentknight1171]

Very cool song for sure. Love the emotionally driven songs, very constance-esque. Good stuff.

[@suavocado69]

seems directly inspired by constance

[@sinned_squid]

@@suavocado69 probably not

[@93skulz87]

Song reminds me of my grandparents, and how my grandmother must feel day by day. We lost my grandfather 2 years ago in January from lung cancer.

[@SaintTrinasTorch]

My grandfathers birthday is on this month, and he passed away from dementia a few years back just shy of his birthday. I might not ever cry, but I’ll be damned if there isn’t a grip on my throat right now. It’s crazy how much you miss someone, and they’re no longer here with you. Amazing track. “Beautiful.”

[@AvalanchePerformance]

The spotify playlist has made driving my 2 and 4 year old children to daycare much better.

[@LabGoats]

"Sometimes you don't need breakdowns... There's other types of heavy." The sure sign of a metal musician with dimensions... At least 2.....

[@BlaZe-pl4ym]

Damn, Toms cleans are really fucking good.

[@kyledecampos3436]

He’s done another song with cleans well a guest spot look up Tom barber clean vocals and it’s the top sing

[@reneebear3641]

You know, when Pale Tongue came out, I only expected heavier. But this song really surprised me. It makes me expect some real life from the new album. I’m even more excited than I was, though I would’ve preferred this single being left for the album in favor of another single.

[@reneebear3641]

Never mind, wasn’t expecting that ending. Well, that’s something that someone needed to get out.

[@MTNReacts]

So damn good but so damn heartbreaking all rolled into one!

[@Knowonselph]

Every single time I listen to this song, it brings tears. I instantly start thinking of my parents and my kids..

[@robin_pick]

Wow dude! Thanks for sharing this, what a song!

[@derekhowe672]

First it was spirit box having me in the feels and now Darko. And both songs are dealing with losing someone. Fuck man. Anyone else crying? No?

[@descendng]

A band I think you'd find interesting is Satyr. As for a song to react to by them, I'd recommend either Bird or Picayune. They released these songs around this time last year but I think it'd be cool to hear your thoughts on them, because they're really good!

[@blacklotus2136]

Dude they’re amazing I thought no one else knew of them

[@yellowsaurus4895]

Yooo, one of my friends turned me on to those guys the other day. They are ridiculously good. I'd recommend a band called Belmont for some similar vibes as well

[@proxynstuff1469]

Of all the songs to make me sad and cry, this one, the one i love to listen to does the moment i watch the video

[@denisb1223]

this song is a masterpiece.

[@PlatinumBlackOut]

Nick: this is the heaviest band I’ve ever heard. Me: 😭 (crying)

[@louvelazquez6546]

Beautiful song, Tom caught me off guard too lol Thank u Nik for showing me this band🖤🖤

This is such an amazing song. Omg the feels.

[@lopnionista9075]

"What can this dude not dude??"

[@shankz1328]

Haven´t heard from Darko before and think the songs is quite decent ... but damn when the old man (widower) embraces the ghost, that hit me hard in the feels.

[@brennanhuff3696]

I know I'm a little late with discovering this band but I really become speechless while listening to every song because every aspect of their song writing just works so well all together. Great reaction btw Nick 🤙

[@wessones5548]

For those surprised that Tom is doing cleans, listen to The Alliance by Lorna Shore. Dude can sing

[@dogcatcherish]

Woah! Thats an awesome twist from their usual work 🤘

[@sean_mccadden]

Damn.... made me tear up. Great song!

my guess is that it's for Josh (the drummer of emmure and also this band)'s mother

You nailed it on the head with the comparison to Constance... Shit that was heavier than any deathcore song with Double Drop Z tuning FeelsBadMan

Love this tune, feels are real, dark never disappoints! Nik, Nik, Nik!!!!!!! New architects is out and its a great one.

[@Ryo7_7]

Such a beautiful song that I can definitely relate to. 🤘🏾

[@andrewbernal6819]

Woah did not expect this to hit me this hard in the feels ♥️

[@zerozeeros]

I've been busting to see your reaction. It was pure cause you had no indication of what it would be so it was more authentic. The is exactly like Constance. Toms cleans are a mix of Sam, Oli and Chester imo

[@violasophie4367]

4:12 so true! Great video :)

[@alfredsvalander1846]

This song sounded very similar to Sleepwalking I thought.

glad that you switched your content recently. got so much better. this is "just" a random reaction, the new vids are idk better

Void of Vision's "Decay" would be a great song for a react video. Even if you don't do a video for it (it's from 2019) it's a must-listen if you haven't already.
