Nik's never looked more nocturnal before

[@TheProfundia]

Nik, You look tired.. Your content is awesome, we love you.. Dont ever doubt that.. Take some time off.. We will still be here. Youare like a Spotify Discover weekly, except you are a human being.. How many likes can i get for Nik taking some time off? Come on peeps.. This guy delivers content everyday.. Nik, Relax! Please.. We will still be here

[@flyrab2683]

Yeah he looks tired af

[@TheNinthStorm]

but if he doesnt upload something youtube will only push behind his content like if he's getting less popular besides, he got more projects to show us

[@thesaviorofsouls5210]

He streams too so thats not suprising, maybe he just missed out on some sleep. Its good to let creators know they can take a break, but making assumptions tends not to be a good idea.

[@AkitaMetal]

Doesn’t he always look tired though? Lol

[@Twizzybeatzz]

Not to mention, the time he records videos and the times he uploads them aren’t always the same. He could have done this at 2:00 AM for example.

[@vasyancheg]

IMMINENCE - Heaven In Hiding

[@liamjoakim3585]

the clean vocal segments really give me Pendulum vibes to be honest!

[@spiritwolf1233]

There is some resemblance, but not so much. Still I understand where you're coming from :)

[@8JFJK8]

They remind me of ERRA mixed with Loathe. Very proggy and electronic/synthey elements mixed with HEAVY.💪🏽🔥🎸

[@EveretteMakesNoise]

Hey, Nik. Did you know that the old vocalist for Novelists FR, Matteo, made another project called, 'Sal3m'? You should check out their music on here.

[@LexiPixeL_]

It's p good but "Lost Cause" is still my fave. It's such a vibe from start to finish despite being thematically all over the place, it just feels good to listen to ya know? I do like tracks like this but I hope the upcoming album has a blend.

[@carlcameron5055]

I don't think they are doing an album, rather just releasing singles for a while.

[@LexiPixeL_]

@@carlcameron5055 Ah, alrighty. I'd heard somewhere that an album was in the works. This was months ago tho, so I'm not sure where it came from. Thanks for the info!

[@carlcameron5055]

@@LexiPixeL_ I could be wrong, don't take my word as fact, I'm just saying what I was told

[@Jydmd]

I don’t listen to the songs, I’m just here to see Nik’s face during the breakdown, if applicable.

[@DannySlept]

Agree

[@mishamikemallory3959]

Solid song. Get some sleep Nick.

[@dylanjordan31]

Hahahahahaha

[@YourzzTrulyy]

He ain't nick "nocturnal" for no reason aha

[@amanfromnowhere1388]

Dude he is nocturnal

[@szymonz.8448]

That groovy riff reminds me Bulls on Parade 😀

[@thedailyp00per]

That’s what it is, I’ve been tryin to figure out what it sounded like

[@mr.keiser4259]

Aaaaaaaaa interesting take. I hear it now for sure hahahaha

[@nolankuffner3573]

To be fair, the drummer flipping that switch in the prechorus is actually pretty impressive. Guy goes from zero to beast mode in a handful of beats.

[@cryptyknyk]

Man, I like it. Definitely going into my playlist, pre-chorus is a bit weird since it shifts the tone of the song but I like everything else

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

This was the screamer from Alazka. Getting huge The Amity Affliction vibes from the chorus

[@mattgomes7762]

I'm happy for Novelist because it's french group and in France, the society don't have an sensibility with métal song, just stéréotype "ho it's savage song ! How to listen that ? Just cry ! You are satanique ?". Not absolutely all people say the last world but you understand what i say ... ;) (And i'm happy for other french group who discover our sensibility in other country )

[@dito1022]

You gotta react to 'In the Night' by Phinehas. I know the guitarist in you would love it. And the metalhead in you would love those breakdowns 👍

[@metallic776]

He already did on twitch. Vid is on the highlights channel

[@Moosegravy420]

This kinda builds on that Volumes Animals vibe. Love this.

[@zachperez8937]

My ranking of the singles are 3. Do You Really Wanna Know 2. Lost Cause 1. Terrorist But with that being said, I LOVE all of them A LOT!!!! Had never heard of this band before I saw someone react to them, now I'm going back and discovering a lot of their older stuff I love as well. I am a big fan of catchy choruses and super fun riffs (I absolutely love the riff in Terrorist), and Novelists FR are amazing at both of those things.

[@Theastrocody]

God i fucking love his vocals.

[@Venduhl]

Nice song! We heard it yesterday in our discord with a music bot and all loved it!

[@RaptueCity]

So Novelists FR is now Blue Stahli mixed with Dance Gavin Dance, I dig it

[@chillybeats3209]

Defo going on playlist. Please get some sleep nik. We can tell that you need it

[@newidenityguitarizt]

wanna hear the OG guys.. got to love some new Underoath!

[@ned9542]

New novelists? Today's a good day

[@LochAndLoad95]

Pizza isn't what I was thinking about during the buildup to the breakdown but I guess Nik and I are two different people

[@dw732]

Nik, I know you said this isn’t your favorite Novelists track, it isn’t mine either. This video made me revisit Souvenirs and the passion in those recordings is front and center. I’m also the guy who asked you to cover a poison the well song who were also a pure passion band. It’s hard to get into this new material when the old set an unreachable bar in my opinion

[@blurreaper1238]

i love the old novelist but this is just perfection

[@Coach_Hathy]

New Underoath - Damn Excuses!

[@psimetric8887]

Florestan Durand is the guitar monster!

Digital angrycore is the new style ?

Heavy digital bath vibes from the intro

[@pierreyven973]

You should check out the new Dali thundering concept song which features the OG vocalist of novelists

[@benliftin4awhile]

I miss the times when they dropped immedicable and delusion, og novelists were some groovy heavy well balanced shit, this stuff is good too, I just miss that sound, we had such a short time with it

[@ireckon7351]

Novelist’s is a little different now…ok 😂

[@DrewPwnage]

My favorite out of the 3 singles so far!

[@aaAMatheusAguiarAaa]

man, you are amazing, liek you

[@PURIFIEDofficial]

Yo! Check out 'Escapers of Paradise' from Balance Breach. They're on the same label with Novelists and the song is a BANGER!

[@dylanvolpone5073]

NIK damn excuses by underoath apparently they took a page out of mmf’s book and went back to metalcore

[@probablyalex]

My only problem with these new tracks are the choruses 🤷 either the chorus itself or getting from the verse into it. They’re all good songs though

[@idrinkmilk282]

Nik do be looking somewhat like the creature from goonies lol

[@chriszani24]

Hey Nik! can I ask where you got your outro made?

[@trs5127]

I backed Terrorist, but this is a bit much to be honest. Like, none of the transitions made sense to me. It didn't feel coherent at all Edit: The Chunkdown is awesome though

[@webster439]

Northlanes brother?

[@squidsquirthd2684]

Novelists and BMTH have done what bands have been trying t do for a few years now, which is mixing electronic/hiphop sounds with metal in a natural sounding way. Diamond Construct did it and it felt clunky, and a ton of others tried before, but none have beat these two
