METALCORE VOCALIST REACTS | Without Me - Dayseeker | REACTION

[@lc81002]

Rory's vocals are god-tier. The new album is a tribute to Rory's dad, who recently died after a long battle with cancer and Parkinson's, so it's a lot softer than typical Dayseeker, but dear God, the emotions will hit you right in the heart. The tour with Bad Omens, Dayseeker, Make Them Suffer, and Thousand Below was the best live show I've ever seen.

[@oceanshrine]

IM SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR MISSING IT!!!

[@jimmottola]

I’ve NEVER heard anyone break down Dayseeker and Rory’s vocals like this. Thank you so much for it, you are a gentleman and scholar for it!

[@oceanshrine]

Thank YOU for watching, my friend!!!

[@PhantasmalFlowers]

Such a good song, doesn't matter how many times I hear it, it still gives me shivers. I can't wait to see them live this year.

[@TokyoE46]

Just saw Dayseeker for the first time earlier this month in Norfolk, VA on tour with Bad Omens. Literally so good live! You got a new subscriber here sir!!!

[@chriscerquoz6639]

Same!

[@oceanshrine]

Hell yes, thank you so much!!!

[@waterandbridgesmusic]

Thanks to the algorithm for stumbling across your videos. For whatever reason i'm one of those folks that get a ton of joy out of watching other people go through the emotions of discovering incredible acts like this that I am into. It is sort of like the collection of feels when watching kids open their presents at Christmas. I'm also out of the scene, hanging up my trusty collection of 7 string Schecters after a strong run with metal / djent band Convex in 2015-2018. Hard to keep track of what new music is worthwhile now these days. I watch tons of reaction vidoes as a result, usually to have the music on in the background and occasionally tune in for people's takes. Really enjoyed this one, and will take any excuse to see somebody new hear that falsetto again for the first time. Nobody can pokerface their way through that first chorus. Keep up the videos lad - you've got a new subscriber from Australia 🤘

Best combinations of things in music i like. And these heavenly vocals that send chills down the spine are pure joy. ThanksDark by October Ends is on repeat, and now I'm here wishing for your cover. Make it happen!

[@TheRowdyProductions]

New here. Just thought I’d stop by and say that you’re easily the best reaction content creator I’ve seen. Your breakdown was so informative and thorough. Your enthusiasm is also top tier.

[@oceanshrine]

Catching up on comments since the return is imminent! Thank you so much for this!!!

[@dinagarland]

Just found you. Great reaction. Love Dayseeker!

[@brandonray61]

"This sounds like them" yaaaasaasssss ❤

[@Confusion7182]

Oh man I gotta listen to more of their songs now; this song is so good both in terms of skill and creativity, as you said!

[@CMSnyder80]

I try not to repeat myself in comments sections on different channels so it doesn't come off like I work off of a script but things you felt about the performance and mentioned means I have to break this out again(!)... Yes, Rory does amazing things vocally...those runs are stellar. The last vocal run/flourish towards the end is SUPREME-BEING level stuff. The stuff day dreams are made of... but what REALLY impresses me most is that these things never come off as showy. Showboating. Or grandstanding. These advanced vocal techniques are utilized in the name of emotional impact. It is great hearing great vocalists do cool things but personally I believe that if you want to do something amazing in a song you should build a song to support it and then the song NEEDS what you want to put in. So while I will enjoy good vocalists doing neat things...I LOVE when they are used to increase my understanding of the story the song tells and/or helps make me FEEL the exact way that the singer/lyricist felt when they sat down to pen that song.

[@chriswc5050]

I can’t even use my full on head voice to sing this in the car , extremely talented singer

[@kieranlochran1843]

Very memorising, his voice, man! Like, he has a voice that's traditionally fitted for R&B, and it's a style that really SHOULDN'T work for heavy music. But he found a way to make it work, especially the second chorus where he belts the high notes, and adds like a gritty voice, definite metal! You can feel the raw emotion in his voice, especially when Rory mentioned he has depression, and he's able to fight through that by writing the negative in his lyrics into an art. So yep, no doubt that it's a new favourite song of mine, and a new favourite band I'm gonna listen to now as well. 😁

[@arzoniist5776]

i LOVE Rory! and I love you! keep this shit up. Yo reaction is so good and i like how you break everything down. keep it up my man!

[@oceanshrine]

I’m here to stay, my dude! Thanks so much for checking it out!

[@CMSnyder80]

I agree where Rory is a HUGE overall factor to the band but as a vocalist/musician even with the backing vocals and musicianship of the other members...just how they construct the music to match the emotional tone of the story Rory is telling in each song is about as important as what he does himself. I don't notice the backing vocals as much but their guitarists backing vocals in the Octane live version of Neon Graves are damned good and surprised me even though I'd heard the album version a couple thousand times before I watched it. I know what I mentioned above is already understood but it was just something I wanted to expand upon when you mentioned how important Rory is to what Dayseeker is. And as a musician if I have a singer that DAMNED amazing wanting to be in a band with me... I would totally be good with music fans looking at me as a backing piece to an extent because what I'd be backing is that incredible.

[@saintfrost]

Happy to see that you checked out the new Dayseeker album!! "Without Me" has got to be one of my favorites. Ever heard their collabs with bilmuri?

[@oceanshrine]

They did collabs with Bilmuri?!

[@saintfrost]

@@oceanshrine Yeah! Both Rory alone and Dayseeker are featured on a few songs

[@gideonverbeeck3984]

One of my favourite bands! It's so good and his voice is so beautiful! This song and Afterglow (Hazel's song) are my favourites.

[@shrutefarms5372]

Dayseeker is so good! I've seen them live about 5 times now and I get the chills every time. You should definitely check out the band Body Thief and review the song ego displacement or death, drugs and dancing. Thanks man keep up the great reactions!

[@harrisonmillington4511]

I like you can relate based off knowledge. I love it

[@jaynorthup4320]

Make them suffer also played with bad Omens and Dayseeker. really hard great

[@Loading6986]

You should react to The Plot in you - Feel Nothing. The vocalist, Landon Tewers, also did a song with Rory Rodriguez called Kill me, but it's not very heavy. Would love to see you react to the Plot though! Landon has amazing vocals as well

[@oceanshrine]

Plot is ANOTHER top ten favorite of mine! Expect a new reaction when they drop a new single, my dude!

[@OGTricksy]

Holy fuck, a reaction channel that reacts ❤❤

[@r3ya429]

Amazing vocalist no doubt, not appreciated as much as the band and he deserves! If you like more of Rory and electric music, check out his solo group Hurtwave🤙🏽

[@oceanshrine]

Hurtwave is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

[@fooman27jenkins44]

To me dayseeker is 1. Rory’s voice 2. The lyrics. 3 good help from other band members.

[@Broganshire]

Very few bands are pushing the heavy genres forward right now... and Dayseeker is on the top of that list.

[@izorion6443]

Up next: Dayseeker - Neon Grave :)

[@bslangsmmf90]

Should do reaction to eyes roll back by Fit for a king

[@oceanshrine]

You’re so right, we need some Fit For A King on the channel 👏🏽

[@shafferracing125]

the live version is so much better

[@richardallen7015]

Soooo, album review? Whole album is an 80s vibe. Otherwise Neon Grave, Crying While You're Dancing and Dreamstate are some bangers.

[@oceanshrine]

If ya’ll want it, I’ll make it happen!!!

[@klemenskof]

@@oceanshrine Always up for more bad omens/dayseeker songs 😆

[@calliztoidLIVE]

Chevelle pleaseeee

[@calliztoidLIVE]

[@oceanshrine]

OOOOOHHH GOOD CHOICE 💕

[@calliztoidLIVE]

@@oceanshrine Thank you 😁

[@jaynorthup4320]

oh shit your from portland.plz be the first to react to a Othrys!!!!

[@jaynorthup4320]

Cross Contamination

[@williamspence690]

It's a good song, but it leans too heavy on the pop side of things for my taste.
