Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope Live REACTION //Aussie Rock Bass Player Reacts

[@Ub3rSk1llz]

'what other songs in this style are there that i should react to?' - the rest of their discography :)

[@Growlizing]

Yeah, pretty much only NeO has done such a dedicated effort to extreme prog metal with a violin. Or at least I don't know of anyone else.

[@paradisefound412]

@@Growlizing Check out Dominia for more prog metal featuring violin.

[@chrismacandrew9692]

Late to the party here, but Persefone are also a great prog metal band.

[@Christian-vq8rd]

Singer and screamer- perhaps the biggest distinctive of NeO is the contrast between the "angelic" Tim Charles and the "demonic" Xen (Marc Campbell). Most of their songs interweave dark, black metal inspired themes with beautiful classical lines- a classic black and white contrast band.

[@Takesjokes]

oh my gawd i've been waiting for this. much love from Austin, Texas.

[@Roguenjosh]

THANKS JAKE! Dude I really think there’s a connection with Texans and South Australians, don’t know what it is but you guys get us

[@Alexisking222]

Thanks for the videos man! I think you'd really love Rivers of Nihil - "Where Owls Know My Name"

[@brantcullen]

So glad you did this. This song is phenomenal. Its taught at the Sydney Conservatorium of music because its a masterpiece

[@danntheman865]

Im shocked no one has mentioned Wintersun, especially since they toured with neo obliv towards the end of last year. They both have very similar approaches to music. Listen to anything live at sonic pump, you wont regret it.

[@deed5811]

Having seen them twice, I can vouch they sound this awesome live.

[@adrianjones8118]

Caligula's Horse mate, you gotta dive into the aussie prog metal scene with these guys. You gotta go for Graves, another compositional masterpiece.

[@Faffx]

you could check out ebonivory for more aussie prog, and plini if you're down for some instrumentals

[@JDByron]

I know I'm a bit late to this but yes very please. Graves is an all time favorite. ^^

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Yeah, this band take 'beauty & the beast' vocals to a whole new level, or in this case 'good angel, evil angel' vocals. I reiterate everything I said about them in my last comment, they are awesome !

[@zenyros]

jesus and lucifer :)

[@amarok9097]

I enjoyed your review of Neo. For another Melbourne Metal Band have a look at "The Smoke of Many Fires" official lyric video by Be'lakor.

[@akontiainen_7139]

Painters of the tempest is another great one from Neo

[@digitalspecter]

Another great Aussie band is Be'lakor. They have pretty much climbed to the top place for me during the last couple of years. It's a shame they don't have many music videos on KZbin. Anyway it'd be great to hear your take on their songs like "A Natural Apostasy" or "From Scythe to Sceptre"

[@felix56291]

I recommend Painters of the tempest or Devour me, Colossus

[@sarissurya8141]

australian metal scene seems really good... i found many great band from australia

[@lMarcusl]

You should definitely check out Forget Not by these guys. One of the best pieces of music I've heard. The first 6 minutes are a pure masterclass in music.

[@christopherjohn84]

Awesome reaction, since you mentioned Opeth, it’d be great to see you react to Ghosts of Perdition, studio version, it won’t disappoint. Cheers

[@jeffjosh8969]

hi man love your videos i live in australia love the red shore who is a gelong band u should react to them keep up the good work

[@Georgithedog]

Another great song and video =D Keep it up. I would suggest you react to Devin Townsend performs 'Kingdom' for EMGtv as its great performance

[@MrGill085]

Try Be'lakor. They're also from Melbourne. I think they have a similar feel to Ne'O.

[@jacksonthetaco165]

If you want to hear some really out there Prog may I suggest the live performance of Celestial Elixir by Haken. There’s heavy parts, beautiful parts, and they even break into what can best be described as circus music. It’s nuts.

[@justdooom]

Thank you! Nevermind what I'm fun of (I greatly appreciate Australian black, by te way), but this song have a lot of content to overhwhelm. Greetingns from Russia.

[@justdooom]

And they have a lot of poetry, too. Bless you and your dearest (I'm an atheist, and who dares? ) )

[@nickhaas9185]

Please do Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: an endless obsession it is such a beautiful but crushing prog metal song

[@nikelodeon6852]

You need to do a lot more opeth if the only song you know is "when the curtain falls" cause that's their only song I've never heard:) Also some other bands Dream Theater, Haken, Leprous, Enslaved, Periphery, Jinjer.

[@JKA-TML]

Another band with some similarities would be Iapetus and their album "long road home"

[@mowageemowagee5947]

Psycroptic are from Tasmania, and Rock.

[@Christian-vq8rd]

Sydney Music Conservatory- where the song was featured

[@Ub3rSk1llz]

[@IDontWannaWurk]

Great vid man! If you haven't heard of Jon bellion you should react to him he's very talented and not that well known if you do react to him I'd recommend listening to the song "Blu" 1st to really see what he's about.

[@patriksjoholm7102]

People who like Ne Obliviscaris should check out the band Vintersea. Their music is also progressive extreme metal, but with a female vocalist (her growls are VERY impressive) and the music isn't quite as technical as Ne Obliviscaris. I would recommend the songs Old Ones or Befallen from their latest album. Xen from Ne Obliviscaris actually designed the album cover for their latest album.

[@Roderik95]

Since you are a bass player I think you would enjoy checking out some Mudvayne. Their bass player is insane. Something like the song Death Blooms, but anything off of the album LD50 would be a good showcase. Just make sure it is not a censored version.

[@Roguenjosh]

One of my favourite bands of all time and death blooms in particular is one of my favourite songs!

[@Roderik95]

@@Roguenjosh Ah I see. They were a great band for sure. Death Blooms is one of my favs too, mate.

[@greendav]

Check out some Deafheaven. Progressive black metal/shoegaze. Canary Yellow or Honeycomb (the Audiotree Far Out version is amazing even if the bass is too loud!) are good places to start.

[@zenyros]

you should react to painters of the tempest part 2 triptych lux, it's their longest song but also by far my favorite song ever (it was also the first song I've heard by them but that doesn't really contribute to why it's my favorite) it's just the biggest ride of a song you can ever experience

[@SBguitarcovers]

Hey man could you check out "Fair to Midland - Dance of the Manatee"? They are a super unique band with a cool sound. Thanks for your reactions!

[@jwalldal]

Great reaction. I just love this song :) Have you heard of Be'lakor? Australian melodic death metal band. They are great, my favorites :) All their song are good :D Check them out too.

[@billybobthekidiswack]

since you're into progressive metal i highly recommend checking out "Slice the cake- Stone and silver part 1. Mountains of man"

[@LukeWatts85]

In this style you should be giving Opeth a proper go (the live Ghost of Perdition at Red Rocks, Colorado (20) OPETH - Ghost of Perdition (LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE) - KZbin is amazing) However, not in this style....I think you'll appreciate the bass in Necrophagist - Stabwound. Or in Beyond Creation - Coexistence. But seriously, more Opeth!!! Their bassist Martin Mendez is awesome

[@xevs]

do a whole discography reaction please

[@omkarbharambe8673]

Opeth - The Baying of The Hounds

[@voidmother3893]

Great reaction! It'd be really fantastic if you could check out their song 'Saturnine Spheres'. It's my favourite.

[@shspurs1342]

You should react to band Candlemass, song Astorolus the great octopus. My favourite genre in metal. There is a official 2019 video.

[@mjvdg4194]

On the topic of Aussie bands I was gonna ask if you’ve heard much Nick Cave, guarantee you probably have. But definitely listen to Red Right Hand or The Mercy Seat if not.

[@georgiakaradimou9271]

Hey, react to NF " why did you leave us " this song is a great way to start the journey P.S it's about his mother who passed away.

[@riverdragon17]

Great reaction bro!. If you need some progressive metal, try pretty much anything by Dream Theater. One of the best prog metal bands out there besides Opeth and these guys

[@Pirispanen]

Do Opeth dude. I prefer album versions since there are only few good live recordings. Harlequin Forest is amazing, or Deliverance.

[@karaspangenberg1435]

If you haven’t reacted to them already, Apocalyptica will floor you with what they can do with cellos. They recently released videos for Reign of fear and Refuse/Resist.

[@AzizAlawadhi]

React to Periphery - Reptile

[@hummingbird2139]

Would be awesome to hear you react to some babymetal. Cuteness and heaviness overload guaranteed. Go check out gimmie chocolate and you'll know what I mean. Unless of course you already listen to babymetal. In which case, ignore this comment. Hope you're well over in Australia.

[@justdooom]

Just in case you'd like to listen to an example of Australian metal's darkest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZamdYagip1pm8k Further they (he) have lost this kind of desperate tune (imo) P.S. Sorry I've found no officials yet.

[@jayway458]

The nervous violet interstingly spark because pediatrician simplistically tremble against a hallowed lyric. fixed, sore winter

[@yair9165]

React to Lana del rey 🥺😍
