[@METALBIRB]

What's missing on this list?

[@353darkesthour]

The Last Baron - Mastodon

[@FakeOX3L]

bad omens artificial suicide

[@kleberketi760]

goodspeed-the contortionist

[@nicklepine1935]

Legion from TesserAct is one of the greatest metal songs I’ve ever heard. I still tear up at the end of the song even though I probably listen to it several hundred times.

[@aycaramba4910]

Quantum Flux and Blackwater Park are perfect 10/10s for me.

[@PoetryAndTofu]

ITIIITIATIIHYLIHYL deserves so much love and I'm glad it made your list!

[@wolf1nsoul]

They are such a vibe, literally adore them!

[@themcabbages77]

I thought this was a joke at first lol

[@blackshapemusic]

🙏🏻

[@Derr1ck_yt]

Wtf is that name

[@blackshapemusic]

Birb! Truly surprised and honored to be in this list among legends. Massive love and gratitude for all the support from both you and your community. Can’t wait to show you the new stuff. IHYL

[@0paulsen0]

This channel is so great because you are able to share and love new music while still having the respect and recognition of the mid 00's legends like Underoath and Thrice. My taste in music is pretty closely aligned. Keep up the amazing work.

[@METALBIRB]

Thank you man 🙏🏼

[@d.hodgsky]

Hadn't heard Aviations until this vid...and that's a huge mistake on my part. Just did a dive into a bunch of reactions for it (Drew, bohgdan, Geebz) and shared it with my prog loving friend. Thanks for this vid!

[@tiagotakao]

ITIIITIATIIHYLIHYL is the best song of a lifetime.

[@blackshapemusic]

Infinite thank yous for this.

[@dinnayboi8077]

Dude I love nihilist blues!!! I think it’s so underrated

[@android521]

The Devil Wears Prada: To The Key of Evergreen

[@McYates24]

yes.

[@FancyMrFinn]

I think Danger: Wildman is a 10/10

[@android521]

@@FancyMrFinn Major banger, I chose this song because of the musical journey they take you on.

[@KirillDuda]

I'm missing for this sound It's really incredible song and album

[@kimeklund8880]

So happy when you talk about Refused… I have 3 albums as my number 1 .. Refused - The Shape…. Fireside - Elite Vildhjarta - måsstaden under vatten

[@maciejkaminski97]

I have to be honest, from all the songs I found here Blackshape is the best discovery!

[@carterreed4676]

My top 10 for anyone who cares, in no particular order: Synestia, Disembodied Tyrant - The Poetic Edda SOI - Malediction Lorna Shore - Pain Remains Trilogy Shrine of Malice - Carnal Beast Disturbed - Stricken Currents - Better Days Worm Shepherd - Ov Sword and Nail Signs of the Swarm - Dreaming Desecration Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden Sold Soul - For Whom the Banshee Cries

[@credaaaooo824]

Disembodied Tyrant is great, but i would personally choose The Divine Stigmata wouldn't put Pain Ramains trilogy on my top 10 but it's undeniably great as for the rest, about half of them i never heard of and the other half i don't really care about

[@ding1r]

Thank you for making me discover Aviations like three years ago. Their latest album is just beautiful. I'm pretty sure the band is also very grateful with you. Also, thank you for mentioning Dillinger! One of the best bands of all time, without a fckn doubt.

[@LiquidThunder12]

These list videos are great, helps me catch up on songs I've missed. Keep em coming!

[@adamcastillo3976]

I laugh at how spot on our taste is to each other. The prog stuff to the metalcore, to the punk stuff! Fantastic list Birb 🤘🏼

[@FancyMrFinn]

Panic Room is probably the best metal song ever written. Literally gives me chills every time i hear it

[@lizzsaeglopur8666]

I love this channel, a lot of amazing songs just added to my spotify's playlist

[@theunexpectedua]

Hard agree on the Nihilist Blues song, it's so underrated, such a banger! The "breakdown" after the first chorus, is just insane - I imagine people who have experienced it live absolutely loved it. ITIIITIATIIHYLIHYL I first heard on your channel, and loved it, even though I'm not a huge fan of prog to be honest. Underoath is such an interesting band too, there are songs that I love from them, like Catch Myself Catching Myself, or whole albums that I dislike, but I really enjoyed their "live" sessions. Silent Planet is just OP, especially the Superbloom album. I believe I first heard the Refused song, in the first Crank movie. :DDD

[@McYates24]

glad i discovered Aviations from you, some of the best music i've ever heard

[@Numemon888]

Thank you for including Underoath....they are my all time favorite band...define the great line is my most listened album ever. And I think it's always worth a listen for everybody not knowing them or this specific album. To bad almost nobody talks about them anymore. They still are so influential.

[@mattmac5758]

Don't know if this is allowed. But if you all want some new tunes, my band Dire Descent has music up on spotify. Metalcore/deathcore from New York. If you dig it, awesome! Spread the word! First music we've released in a decade of not being a band haha

[@TimmyTurner421]

Always find cool bands through your vids brotown

[@wolf1nsoul]

Glasswaves are one of the best new bands imo! - they are openly inspired by Bad Omens, Dayseeker, Plot in You and BMTH. “Mistakes” and “Dead Dreams” are absolutely amazing from them ;)

[@tfreefilm]

BLACKSHAPEEEE

[@CoupSounds]

Great picks Birb, 100% with you on Misery Signals and Sikth. Off the top of my head, I'd say Erra - Alpha Seed is a 10/10. Blew my mind when I heard it for the first time and it's still a banger today. Augment is probably a 10/10 album for me, come to think of it.

[@thelightyears_]

The Hypnotist from Drift is one of my favourite songs of all time

[@thelightyears_]

My top 10 Caligula's Horse - Inertia And The Weapon Of The Wall/The Cannon's Mouth Earthside - We Who Lament TDWP - To The Key Of Evergreen ERRA - The Hypnotist Insomnium - Into The Woods Invent Animate - False Meridian The Raven Age - Grave Of The Fireflies Silent Planet - Depths III Starset - Something Wicked Eidola - Sri Vishnu Yantra In no particular order

[@3.eRicc_]

my favorite song of all time is definitely A Dialogue in Cataplexy by Night Verses

[@METALBIRB]

That’s my favourite Night Verses song!

[@3.eRicc_]

@@METALBIRB hell yeah dude 🤘🤘

[@HellSpartanZ]

Northlane - Savage is 10/10 for me I love it so much I listen to it every morning when I wake up 😊

[@theriffnotebook8412]

You could've randomly selected any Misery Signals song and I would’ve agreed 🤘

[@taylorlowe5155]

SO HAPPY to see Misery Sigs make this list!! What's missing? 'Make Total Destroy' Periphery. It just.... has to be 10/10 for all time.

[@Steveninsl0wmotion]

Dude, Yes! I completely agree. Define The Great Line is a masterpiece and definitely my favorite Underoath album Hands down but I will argue that imo Casting Such a Thin Shadow is one of my favorite songs of all time. I still get chills every time I listen to it. It's absolutely beautiful

[@andrewmock7086]

The Failsafe has been a favorite for so long🤟

[@chunktaa]

Misery Signals / Controller/ best metalcore album ever, imo 🤙

[@jellis]

I love Dillinger and Misery Signals. Glad to see them on this list. Edit: one of my favorite Silent Planet songs too. 😀

[@TimmyTurner421]

It's sad that Misery Signals broke up. Top metalcore band just never got the recognition and overall success, financial income to continue

[@schuylerzoscsak5406]

Silent Planet to this day is one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Went to their show on a whim and had the time of my life.

[@eugeneun]

For those approving The Nihilist Blues in general -- there is a cover by The Veer Union that is closer to conventional metal/metalcore.

[@dylan.8924]

Aviations reminds me of Archo Echo with a vocalist. I dig it.

[@CarlBishop]

Great to see Aviations in there, and Sikth getting some air time in 2024! 🙌🏻

[@twillis10]

Misery Signals is one of the best bands of all time. I can listen to every album and enjoy every song. Only a handful of others bands I can say that about, maybe not even a handful.

[@dermitdemtodtanzt330]

12/10 ITIIITIATIIHYLIHYL soooo impressive

[@thegoosefather8584]

Yes! Widower is one of my favorite Dillinger songs.

[@HenryRuins]

I definitely agree with Sikth and Panic Room everytime I hear Panic Room i get teary eyed

[@falkargast8990]

To the guy in 15:59 saying Life in your Way - Making Waves... i feel you bro :)

[@ckokomo808]

What a thumbnail - silent planet, blackshape, sikth, underoath. The Contortionist Flourish and Beyond Creation Omnipresent Perception are two of my other top songs. Others not in the “core” genres are…sorry, this turned into a list for me 😂 - Forest of stars “drawing down the rain” - panopticon “into the north woods” - altar of plagues “god alone” - Amenra “Boden” - blood incantation “slave species of the gods” - cult of Luna “offering to the wild” - blut aus nord “the choir of dead” - der weig enier freheit “monument” - dreadnought “midnight moon” Dodecahedron “ - Gaerea “conspiranoia” - Hypno5e “the dreamer and his dream” - ingurgitating oblivion “a mote constitutes what to me…” - Lapetus “I contain multitudes” - lychgate “I am contempt” - mare Cognitum “Terra requiem” - noise trail immersion “repulsion and escapism” - oathbreaker “10:56|second son of R” - Oranssi Pazuzu “oikeamielisten sali” - ranges “idolator” - so hideous “the emerald pearl” - stortgen “cosmos eater” - tides of man “new futures” - violet cold “be the magic” - Wilderun “woolgatherer”

[@callmekanda5662]

i am now on a mission to listen to every song on this list. The only 3 I know already are Lapetus, Oranssi Pazuzu and So Hideous

[@britballer4697]

The only reason I know about the band Amenra is because one of my favourite pro wrestlers uses Ogentroost as his entrance theme in AEW and it’s so sick!

[@JonaKebab]

Sikth getting the love they deserve! So unknown in the reactor scene. Old school but awesome

[@kousei4999]

Nihilist blues is so fucking awesome. The Annisokay cover is dope too, if you haven't checked it out yet I highly recommend it

[@saughs]

On Misery Signals being underappreciated - I was at a bar in Milwaukee years ago and their bassist Kyle was bartending. It was cool to see him, but a band that influential and respected should be able to live off of their music alone. They deserved more commercial success for sure.

[@JohanHaagg]

Wait, what, how the hell can people have missed out on Refused? The Shape of Punk to Come is so influential it is insane.

[@ding1r]

A perfect metalcore song for me is Architects - Castles In The Air Excluding the fact that the song kills, i think it's a perfect mix of classic metalcore with the more modern djenty stuff that is a trend right now. Chorus is awesome, riffs are killer, breakdowns don't feel lame and the final moments are epic.

[@casadycawlfield1019]

The 2020 polaris album and the amity affliction album with Pittsburgh on it are both 10 out 10 albums.

[@credaaaooo824]

3:58 VERY hot take. one of the most unlistenable BMTH songs imo. BMTH has been my favorite band for a long time and i really don't think they have many bad songs, but this one is just 5 minutes of torture. and don't take this comment as me hating on pop, as BMTH have lots of good songs from their pop era (Follow You, True Friends, Mother Tongue...), but this one just doesn't sound good to me. maybe if it was 3 minutes shorter it wouldn't be as boring, which is funny because my current favorite "And The Snakes Start To Sing", is just over 5 mins long, and i also love Hospital for Souls which is potentially one of BMTH's longest songs, but idk Nihilist Blues is just boring to me

[@moonchamber194]

Come home - Darko US. 10/10 for me.

[@CyborgOctopus]

The entirety of Death of a Dead Day is a masterpiece

[@kieranwilson1466]

Pretty much anything from Reliqa and The Dark Pool and Butterfly from Thornhill

[@sharchik916]

So fucking cool meeting and hanging out with you man 🥹 We'll be back, and we'll be back online eventually with new music too. Gota feed the machine ❤

[@inthedream9127]

(No reaction to new VOLA? 🙃)

[@juliocesarnavarromendez7313]

With all the respect, I don’t think that bmth song has the composition to be considered as metal, you said it on the video but the title mentions “metal songs”

[@centralia83]

I agree define the great line is the best underoath album without a doubt. But I love the song everyone looks so good from here.

[@theopinson3851]

100% agree about Panic Room

[@storiedgaming]

Erra also exists only bc they wanted to make a band that sounded similar to misery signals

[@dingusdingus9899]

Anyone know if birb checked out archecho yet? Maybe since he likes that aviation song

[@mikebate6719]

New Noise is a legendary banger.

[@Josh-lf1kz]

Yes, some Mis Sigs love😃 GOATs

[@HellSpartanZ]

When birbs said they have become like the biggest best rock band I was Like Nothing more!!! Oh yeah BMTH 😂

[@scottkoppinger2595]

Aviations sounds a lot lif Sky Harbor...Like A LOT

[@gleb.ignatev]

I see Bring Me - I click

[@rad1antgg853]

I’m too young for this shit

[@JamesKnoerl]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stg_tmc]

Returning Empty Handed is so underrated

[@Anzarth]

Can you react to devoid of illusions by (echo) please I think they deserve more fame

[@Obynamn]

Dude... NGL, this list was pretty ass. 10/10???? Metal???? NEED to hear?????? Bro you named songs and even said they arent metal, said they arent 10/10, only liked em for personal reasons. Only a few songs in here were actually good picks. Like if this list was to get people to listen to metal, and get them in with some amazing metal to start em off, trash picks. Silent Planet was a good pick, Underoath you coulda picked SO MANY better songs, BMTH you picked THAT song?????? Not Sempiternal, one of the most influential albums for metal/metalcore of all time? Bro. This video was a waste of time.

No spiritbox even here? I know that nowadays they might seem like they are everywhere, but their early work for me is just amazing, especially for the time.
