My FIRST TIME Hearing "MAYDAY" by Coldrain feat. Ryo from Crystal Lake | (REACTION!!)

[@BrandonLuallenMusic]

You’re entering a dangerous territory into amazing Japanese metal. Addicting. And Masato is one of the gods

[@Nubbilicious]

Know if he's reacted to Die En Grey yet?

[@BrandonLuallenMusic]

@@Nubbilicious I don’t think so! He would lose his mind to something like Agitated Scream of Maggots

[@bigamogusballs]

If he reacted to Galneryus it'd be amazing

[@frederickkorth1481]

@@BrandonLuallenMusic would probably give him something softer as starter, which is imo more accessable like ranunuculus live, kodou

[@Repeaterbeater]

@@frederickkorth1481 why not straight to Obscure?:D

[@democracy5095]

The only reason I know this song is because of fire force one of the best openings to an anime ever

[@Vestaxowner1]

great opening for a great anime

[@tiagofrancisco6955]

I'm the other way around. I found and watched Fire Force because of this song ahah

[@MachineGunStudioProd]

Im ready for season 3

[@wuthever_]

coldrain features another opening in an AMAZING anime called "Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin". The song is called "We're not Alone".

[@Yuriding]

Coldrain is one of the best metal bands nowadays

[@Delok.]

well said sir

[@derpdudtennoherelol4053]

Fucking hell Yes.

[@danielrobinson8096]

Hell yeah it is

[@voluspa1954]

I don´t like much cause is like hear a American Band. I wish Masato sing one song in Japanese or at least some verses in that language :c

[@Delok.]

@@voluspa1954 fair point, but he is only singing in japanese, when being the feature on other bands. He is half American and wants the lyrics to be english, in order for other countries to understand the lyrics better :)

[@zactogepi6824]

I still can't believe this is an anime opening

[@snehashishsinha7133]

Ikr, I only came to know later on that it is an anime opening, and fire force at that too, I was so shocked and happy at the same time.

[@CoCOxDnBz]

Honestly ever since I’ve gotten into the Japanese bands, something about their energy just hits me different

[@CoCOxDnBz]

Also if you ever have some time. Should listen to The Sign. It’s one of crystal lakes album. And still my favorite album from them. They are my favorite band

[@sageoverheaven]

You check out MY FIRST STORY? Underrated af band.

[@matheusfili]

Another great song from Coldrain is Feed the Fire.

[@nashidmamoon9151]

Too underrated. That chorus actually hits a note with anyone including non metal heads or rock fans for that matter.

[@gustavoaraujo6923]

Die Tomorrow is awesome

[@caifabe8050]

@@nashidmamoon9151 another fantastic underrated one is Painting. fuck, i love that song so much. Final Destination is such an underrated banger of an album. The Enemy Inside too. both those albums are TOO underrated

[@Delok.]

@@caifabe8050 the entire band is underrated

[@lordasperger9878]

And its a anime op too

[@FuryanGG]

Coldrain - We're not alone is very nostalgic and emotional to me, but i think it would be a great reaction.

[@wuthever_]

An-chan :(

[@FrankoPK]

I second that!

[@Jacked_R_Us]

[@KreshDraven6]

We NEED Crystal Lake here on the channel, such a killer band and Ryo is a beast !

[@Rob_Infinity3]

"The War Is On" by Coldrain next!

[@HELLBENTSOUL]

Crossfaith: Catastrophe is a definite must listen to. More Coldrain songs to listen to are Feed the Fire, No Escape, and Never Look Away

[@Mantikorable]

MAsato an Ryo is such a killer combo!! they collab again in The Circle by Crystal Lake and it is sooooo SICCCCCCKK!!!

[@ResiGirlCourie]

One of my all time favorite anime openings. The first time I heard it from the anime Fire Force, I searched for it on Spotify . Been listening to it ever since! Thanks for reacting to it!

[@fast93z28]

they should've kept that intro it fits so well

[@lizalvarez98]

INCREÍBLE!!! Justo hace rato estaba pensando en que sería bueno que hicieras esta reacción, ya que estaba viendo Fire Force! ME ENCANTA! ❤️

[@shawndonahughjr2328]

So many fantastic Coldrain tunes to check out! Envy, Feed the Fire, Wrong, amongst many others.

[@etessier87]

Ryo has the "Midas Touch"! Because everything he touches turns to gold!

[@minugehana1096]

If you like these two's synergy, you should check out Crystal Lake's "The Circle". The vocalist of Coldrain, Masato, featured there!

[@Jacked_R_Us]

Nice to see people covering my favorite band. Everyone who knows me well enough knows I actually can't get sick of them.

[@danielrobinson8096]

Coldrain is definitely in my top five bands. Every song I’ve ever heard by them is at the bare minimum a solid song

[@brenogoda388]

Agreed, I’ve listened to a good chunk of Coldrain’s songs and I haven’t heard a single bad song from them

[@mxhyn16]

You should check out "The Revelation" and "The War is On". Both are a fucking banger.

[@TheLeboNathan]

Dude everything coldrain is reaction worthy. They are soooo underrated but damn they are phenomenal!!

[@justinsondermann6196]

Coldrain the best band right now coming from Japan. The lead singer was a Army Brat and his father left him behind in Japan and he was singing metal songs at a Bar and the band recruited him. Plus Watch the Anime Fire Force!!! This song was used for one of their Intros!

[@DeLandoBrassII]

It brings me so much joy that you are reacting to coldrain. Such an amazing band. I hope you enjoy them and do more!

[@melyssaibarra7157]

FIRE FORCE!!!!!!! SUCH AN AMAZING OPENING!

[@ImAnimeFreak09]

I’ve waited so long for you to react to this song. Thank you!!!

[@alexrouthier9781]

You're missing out on the rest of Crystal Lake brother

[@scourageriot]

I love Crystal Lake and when you reacted to Apollo people were saying to listen to this song. I pulled that up and BAM into the rabbit hole of Coldrain. I was listening to them nonstop for Months. So good! Check out "Feed The Fire" :D

[@simontide6780]

Cool thing about Japan is you can see your favorite artists open for anime too.

[@ArcExiOus]

I listen to these guys while working out, it just pumps me up so much 💪🏽🔥, also hail to the fire and disobey by CL is a good one

[@GoodDealington]

Love this band and Crystal Lake so much.

[@carminesblade1625]

Finally!!! Been suggesting for a while! And it's such a banger!!

[@societylabeledme]

Please check out Oh, Sleeper-"Hush Yael" it's written about a tragic true story and it'll blow you away!!!!

[@august_says_hi]

I 100% agree with this! Hush Yael is one of my favorite songs of all time! Such an absolute masterpiece of a song packed full of so much emotion!

[@xRingo10]

Damn you have commented this so many times :D

[@august_says_hi]

@@xRingo10 to be fair, it's a really good song. Check it out for yourself if you don't believe us

[@societylabeledme]

@@xRingo10 I have actually suggested 3 different songs (fire from the gods- excuse me", fit for a king-"the price of agony", and imminence-"Infectious" all for over a year before they got reacted to. This is the 4th song I've consistently suggested to Alex and I know it'll eventually get its chance but hopefully won't take a year this time lol

[@rainydaycanadian]

Anytime instruments cutaway and it’s only vocals is my favourite, but when he screams “BURN” in that low growl 🥵

[@egp014]

Should definitely check out Crystal Lake - Lost in Forever

[@whaletiger5591]

Another great song that's a combination of Coldrain and Crystal Lake is "The Circle" :D

[@jacobtridef48]

Remember hearing this opening when watching Fire Force, and my mind was blown to find out it was Coldrain lol! Every Opening on that show has been good, but this one was def the best. Sadly it gets slept on, and the first one gets all the attention from most the FF fans

[@williamfeeney9216]

They're my second best band I listen to our of Japan, first being maximum the hormone. Watched a concert of theirs, blew my mind how easily they transition from interacting with the crowd in Japanese then sings in English. They said they write all of their music in English because they wanted to be heard globally. Good stuff.

[@edo_ink909]

I will waiting this video so so long thank you Alex finally look at coldrain 😍 you make my evening man thank you

[@AnimetalViking]

One of the best opening themes in all of anime.

[@dillonrichardson4603]

An absolute banger. That whole album is really good

[@leonamann6272]

coldrain, INK and Imminence are the best Metalcore Bands in the scene right now! (imo)

Crystal Lake has a song that features Masato, it's called The Circle. You should definitely check that out since you loved this!

[@thegraychannel19953]

Halestorm just dropped a new song called "Back From the Dead" and you should give it a shot

[@Staymadbro]

I’m so happy you reacted to this

[@joshmall8955]

Holy shit Masato has such amazing vocal range home boy's clean vocals are quite good and his screaming is fantastic dude can also hit those high notes check out their video Die tomorrow

[@matbrien88]

Time for more Crystal Lake -Into the great beyond

[@SlippySteveUK]

He always ends up loving the songs that gets overly requested.. come on Alex. Get on top of it, you'll love it all 😂

[@DayNoodler]

I talked with Masato after they did a show with Volumes, Cane Hill in Northlane down in Wilmington, Nc in 2015. Super polite dude and I'm extremely how far they have come and still jam to there stuff daily!

[@dhafreak]

Alex since we're already there, it‘s time to dig more into Japanese Metal…two newer all female bands would be Nemophila (start with Dissension) or Hanabie (start with We Love Sweets), also go again for Maximum the Hormone but this time ALIEN or if you want to go old school again try X Japans Kurenai (one of the 90ies live versions) or Luna Sea (their earlier stuff)!

[@nipahholiday9302]

Well Nemophilia and Hanabie are new to me ... great stuff. Thanks a lot brother.

[@1211jinx]

Yeees...kurenai is awesome...i love X Japan 🤘

[@dhafreak]

@@nipahholiday9302 ur welcome! I don’t know how far you are in that japanese all female rock/metal bands tabbit hole! Here some general recomendations: Band-Maid, Lovebites, Mary’s Blood (to get the usuals out of the way. Baby Metal doesn’t count due to male instrumentalists), Ironbunny, Fate Gear, Aldious, Bridear and also the new Gacharich Spin is very tempting…as a start!

[@laurentguinchard9733]

It's one of the opening of the Fireforce Manga anime. It's a story of special force of fireman ... So Mayday is a perfect song for that. Try to find the opening in question and you'll see it's SO GOOD !!! :)

[@laurentguinchard9733]

The opening in question : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6C0haloacmYn7M&ab_channel=Wakanim

I was wondering if anyone else was gonna mention that intro lmao 😂

[@Owlsarehooting18]

Coldrain was my most listened for 2020, theyre insane

[@millercalen]

Finally gave them a listen! Glad to see this

[@doomdoesdokkan6720]

Coldrain is such a good band and the singer is learning more techniques which is shown on the newest music they have released please do more

[@twisty4075]

okay, we are not alone must be reacted now since you found this!!!!!!

[@naoki234]

FINALLY you're listening to coldrain! it's been about time!

[@scottclarke1634]

You seriously won't regret diving into Coldrain albums they're awesome 🤘

[@Kage521]

So happy to see you react to this it is such a an awesome song.

[@franklinfisher6251]

In my opinion Alex, you make some of the best intro's to a video I swear! hahaha

[@LT.BrianM]

Who doesn’t love olives? Haha. If you want more of these guys collaborating, check out “The Circle” by Crystal Lake featuring Masato. It’s kind of the opposite now with Masato walking into a Crystal Lake song. It’s also more mellow than Apollo, which I got the sense was a little much for you at the time. Keep up the awesome content!!!

[@c4lv1n26]

many great songs from coldrain. 'gone', 'die tomorrow' and 'final destination' are favourites of mine

[@blackskull4482]

Another great song from them is BLOODY POWER FAME, its also the opening for Bastard! anime from netflix

[@SuperKingBehemoth]

Finally you react to Coldrain! Budokan show was insane, you got a lot of very cool songs to discover Alex

Victor Borba (the vocal of DMC5 track Bury the Light) did an awesome cover of this song.

[@casekuchenowo6673]

I knew coldrain before, didn't know they made a song for Fireforce, started the anime and saw you reacting to Mayday right as I started the second half of the first season, which has this song as the opening theme.
