[@andycizek]

I LOVE YOU!! Thank you fam 💚

[@suanepaola2047]

I love you💚💚💚

[@pussyslayer9308]

Andy, ur voice is inhuman

[@bardknight]

If that is a Chrono Trigger reference, I love you even more now haha. You are a beast, dude. And how many bands are you in? 😂

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Nik’s new show: “Where in the world is Mick Gordon?”

[@Hellavit]

Comparing Andy’s Makari vocals to Monuments is so dope. He’s talented for sure and both are great bands.

[@Jaha575]

I always love hearing the contrast

[@xWagnerPlaguesx]

Nik in every video: If banger is spotted *Turns into Rap God*

[@magnuslikestanks6044]

*Turns into Archspire vocalist*

[@roojothy9910]

twitch id comin at you with supersonic speeds

[@evossan]

I reckon Daddy Mick Gordon was playing the guitar, the end groove had his signature all over it, very DOOM like! Overall the song is pretty fucking dope, Andy vocals on point!

[@ZL1LoVeR]

I honestly didn’t hear Mick Gordon on there… it sounded very John Browne - like Nik, if it didn’t say ft. Mick Gordon I would have never known

[@R-SXX]

Is he on the guitar? Or was he mixing it?

[@fpjesus2000]

On the end riff maybe, but there rest of the song is unmistakably daddy Browne

[@CrzyWzrd4L]

@@R-SXX George Lever mixed. I think Mick Gordon added the synths and strings, and also contributed some guitar

[@ZL1LoVeR]

@@CrzyWzrd4L I had no idea G1 did Monuments mixing… that’s awesome! Love his work with Sleep Token and Loathe

[@VeritabIlIti]

I feel like people forget that Mick is a producer as well... like you can hear his production once you listen. Not sure that warrants a "feat" label, likely an attention thing. That worked for me lol

[@drmarsh4287]

I love your termina project with Andy, but what he's doing with monuments is just magic.

[@tigran2210]

Gosh that riff at 2:11 is CONTAGIOUS AF. Brilliant track, beautiful reaction. Keep ot up!!!

[@RyanCogar]

Nik being the cutest/stoked AF bro 2:53 🤣🤘 As for the 6 string comment, Browne has said that he hates 8's so I think 7 or less is the way for Monuments for now, which let's be honest is more than enough for him to tear it up haha. All these guys tuning to F# Drop E or whatever these days & Monuments here like "We can still make Db sound heavy/huge" 😁

[@an0126]

He said that for the last riff of the song, he wanted a lower tuning but didnt wanted to use a 8 string, so he just used a bass trough a guitar amp instead

[@thedayidied]

I had a very big argument with a fellow guitarist buddy who tunes his guitars to Db just like I do. He was always like "dude... it's C#." I always countered with "They're the same thing..." And finally he got all annoyed one night and explained theory wise how it's C#, pulled up a noted explanation that he had from his theory classes, and lo and behold, the sheet said...... "C#/Db" lmfao

[@sakikofoster96]

@@thedayidied it's the same - depends if you're going up or down :-)

[@jackreed7837]

We must protect Andy at all cost

[@aboywithhorns]

It was tough to hear Mick's influence or to what level. I figure it was probably that breakdown but still. Andy and the guys fucking killed it as always, including Mick. Just wish I heard more of him.

[@MrBoston1630]

He mixed it

[@geordihills]

@@MrBoston1630 no he didn’t, George Lever mixed it

[@LexiPixeL_]

@@geordihills George Lever kicks ass.

[@benbishop7512]

Mick is all over this. Listen.

[@wingsoficarus1139]

Listen to the synth in the background of the breakdown. He actually did synth stuff throughout the song but that's where its most noticeable.

[@Bassgangvt]

Dude the variety in the vocals, with the beautiful singing mixed with multiple different scream types, oh my god it’s amazing. And that GUITAR

[@Skitzy-fe4eu]

This just sounds like it will sound cool, and does

[@airconditioningunit9777]

you know it’s good when you see mick gordon in the title

[@goner.9989]

Be my daaaad, mick gordooonnn!!! -Jared Dines, 2020

[@silnanghton6403]

Yas.💯 Mine too.! LOL 🤣 also: 🖤🤘🏻Mick Gordon. 🖤🤘🏻BMTH .

[@vBrazzyy]

I waited the whole song for Mick to take control for a few bars but it didn't happen. Kinda disappointed by that but nonetheless it's a banger.

[@thedayidied]

Mick Gordon is a composer........ so he must have, you know........ composed something.

[@CristianFlores-jd6xg]

“Bass I’m sure existed” 😂 Always funny to see what you’re gonna say for bass, this one was it 🤣

[@Hanys8]

We need new As I Lay Dying!! :)

[@nonZensically]

Saw a longer interview/chat with Mick, John and Mike and the guitars are all John while Mick is doing synth and orchestration

[@xezmakorewarriah]

It sounds kinda like old school early 00s metalcore but with a modern twist and im really glad that sound is making a comeback.

[@codyallen9188]

Always loved Andy's vocals this song is great!

[@leonfrost2829]

Soo The Doomslayer/ Doomguy kills demons to a Momuntes soundtrack in his helmet? Who knew 😀😎 dammm

[@mrtaxi8590]

I wish two things: 1. That I could play all these instruments as good as monuments and 2. That I could write songs as good as these

[@adamrussell6967]

Featuring MICK GORDON?? I'm very excited to listen to this

[@dicephalous9076]

I bet they play Chrono trigger in SNES

[@albertfingernoodle9329]

2:00 omg 🔥🔥🔥

[@desertfox738]

One of my favorite songs of the year so far, man I can’t wait for the album. Andy is a perfect fit for Monuments.

[@emilwinbo1882]

have to say one of the best things about Niks reaction videos is the short intros, not the 2 min intros that some channels have

[@HarptoHeart69]

Andy is absolutely perfect for Monuments, and well, perfect for any occasion. Especially, when you want to play a new song for your Grandparents to fall asleep to.

[@Bradleyarnup83840]

I’m calling my lawyer, this much groove can’t be legal

[@centurion8088]

Daamn,awesome song

[@zooromain]

the theatrical presence especially from the guitar and the grooves man, this song is fuckin fire.

[@domiissartier2774]

Incredible tune!

[@fruitystrebles9053]

I’m watching this and the upload time says “21 seconds ago” nice

[@matenorth]

I was expecting a doomy bridge and a heavier doomy buildup going to an extra doomy satanic demonic breakdown with a monument's poly twist. An octave down!!

[@dreadflaw]

My Favourite Monuments song is Deadnest, had that one on repeat for days! Cant get enough of Andy's vocals.

[@geordihills]

Unfortunate that Olly left, he wrote a lot of my favourite monuments songs including deadnest

[@leonfrost2829]

2:41: *Nik grove dances* Me: wait don't grove dance without me! Lol

[@djhamlin1803]

Some of the guitar riffs sounded like lower tuned 8 string maybe in the breakdown? I think that was mick

[@jacob7225]

Browne sometimes layers his riffs with an 8 string to put emphasis on the riff being played, so it was most likely Browne. Mick Gordon would've mainly had input on the string and synth arrangement, as said on the discussion on the monuments yt channel.

[@forevermarked5826]

Hear synth at like 3:58

[@gusvlachos1555]

GUYS! It says on spotify this is the singles version. so I'm sure Mick Gordon will have like an intro and/or an outro to handle somes bars on his own. Single is banger tho 10/10.

[@Brett_Wagner]

You said this sounds a six string, I’m pretty sure it’s in DADGAD or a drop of it. Sounds a lot like Animus. It brings the heatttt

[@ncvitek]

ARCHSPIRE - "Drone Corpse Aviator"?

[@jacobfoust6319]

Nik you should get on Herman Li's twitch stream. Would love to see you guys play some guitar together

[@jagdkotze]

dat 2014 album had such an impact on me, just wow! Met them once in Cologne, super close, super nice, amazing show!

[@joshuarenfroe4756]

[@galathorus3256]

God damn Andy is so freakin' good! All he does is gold in my ears

[@XbotulinumX]

I think I’m seeing things…

[@kasderooij8937]

Is this song inspired by a SNES game? Lavos is the ultimate evil in Chronotrigger, one of the best RPG's ever. I like it!

[@chrismood1451]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice! Limp Bizkit new track "Dad Vibes" is out if you looking for new songs to react to lol

[@XAVR_]

"Bass I'm sure existed" *Every bassist didn't like that*

[@DylanHutto]

If you go and watch the URM video for this song, you can see he did quite a bit for this song that you just can't really hear that well. I love the song, I think it's great, I just don't think they utilized Mick's work to the fullest extent that they could've. But that's just me

[@harveydjent_]

This has strong 2012 Architects vibes. I dig it.

Hi Nik🤙

[@somethingmemorable2767]

Those exist in 2021.... yeah.. too broke to get my first 8

[@athmaid]

If you do a collab with somebody who has such a distinctive style the fans should at least be able to tell in some way. It doesn't necessarily have to jump in your face but as Nik said: if there wasn't the "feat. Mick Gordon" in the title nobody would have known. Imho Monuments has gotten less interesting with every release. I didn't expect them to play in the same style for forever, that would be stupid. But they do sound very generic these days. Just my opinions of course

[@drumboarder1]

I've said this on other videos, but, the first Monuments + Andy recording had nasaly cleans which really made me worried they were going to sound like a band from 2007 but that hasn't been the case thank christ, Andy might have been nervous and distracted during that recording, might have grown as a vocalist since or might have been guided by the monuments crew. Who cares, they're all epic. I miss Chris, I miss Matt but Andy is far more consistent and has the chops to fill in the shoes. We got Mike back (absolutely necessary for monuments) let's hope Olly didn't leave too big of a whole. I fucking love this band if you can't tell, I don't want to seem like a total critical asshole, I just know what they've done and hope the changes don't hinder the potential

[@chrisyounes9281]

Sir SIR. Go check out wage war's new album especially the new video for it called Manic.
