[@ZL1LoVeR]

Also Caleb, fantastic editing bruh!

[@JCaleb]

@@ZL1LoVeR thanks fam

[@kevinzhang6623]

Honestly, it would be Living Things rather than HT/MT. LP said that's where they believe they finally perfected the sound they'd been trying to find, before making a pro-hard rock statement with HP and getting rather experimental with "genre-less music" on OML.

[@jaredguillen13]

Those vocals definitely do the instrumental justice, perfect match

[@dariliriu]

as a person who loves LP, loves Nik and loves Blind Channel - I consider this video to be a ✨ pure perfection ✨

[@my.lionart]

Same.

[@JohnDoe-xr8lr]

Nik is always humble as fuck even though he is one of the most creative musicians. The guest vocals were exceptional too, really gave me the LP vibe. Gonna check them out for sure.

[@1029wfjq]

Nik, you’ve encouraged me to pick up guitar and download some heavy amps on my pc. i doubt you’re going to see this, but i love the song so much! Amazing job!

[@LadyRevania]

It's Blind Channel's best collab so far. You guys should definitely write more music together! I love this song 😍

[@reinier5387]

damn you got blindchannel for this?! They placed 6th at eurovision 2021 with a linkin park inspired song!

Absolutely insane. You are probably one of the most talented metalheads out there. Doing songs from bands that sounds better then the most from them. I’m speechless and headbanging ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@xwrathsx]

I’m impressed how well he matched Chester’s nasality and also his chest scream

[@vosoryan]

Sounds pretty damn close, but still nothing like chester at the same time. Reminds me how much of a phenomenal vocalist he truly was

[@Pako9713]

these vocalists sound like a parody cuz they sing about something sad, but theyr voices sound like they are smiling and having fun which is a big NO when you record sad song

[@fragramtelm8178]

​@@vosoryannpc

[@alexdoorn234]

@@Pako9713 Look smiling while singing is a legimate vocal technique to brighten up the sound and when you listen to their other songs that is just how BC are. They have some incredible sad songs but they always have fun singing them. An exception would be Bad Idea and Scream, that last song is about how much Linkin Park means to them it is pretty old and not as good sounding as their recent stuff but I still enjoy it a lot.

Getting Fighting Myself but on steroids vibes! Once again Nik outdid himself with another absolute BANGER, and the Finnish dudes killed it!!! Thank you so much for working so hard Nik you’re inspirational!!

This is so Hit the Floor, very Meteora. You killed it!

[@alexburchell1891]

Gives me A.06 and Papercut vibes as well

[@GeneralMacarthr]

I listened to the single on Spotify and you perfectly captured their essence

[@docalex1991]

To be honest this sound so modern that could be from an actual metal band in 2023. And this says a lot on how much LP have influenced and still do influence the metal scene.

[@alexdoorn234]

It literally sounds like a Blind Channel song, which is not a bad thing I love BC.

[@putzmarie]

I was getting "from ashes to new" vibes

Funny finding this between two linkin park songs and after listening to blind channel earlier today. Great video, great song!

As LP by far my favorite band and singing their songs since I was 3 it brings me great happiness to hear this. You earned another subscriber today for life.

Woah Nik and Blind Channel, it's like a dream come true

[@aaronmiller1237]

I saw blind channel on tour with from ashes to new, didn’t realize that was them collaborating at first

[@raycecawley9933]

I only recently got into LP because I randomly fell from modern deathcore into early 2000s nu metal for whatever reason and after listening to hybrid theory I began wishing there was more songs by them in the style of that album and this definitely provides. Well done nick I can’t wait for whatever fun metal thing you do next.
