👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘

[@NikNocturnal]

Thank you so much for the kind words my dude! LOVE your analysis, you're right on with all of it and your assumptions.

[@Dumb-Old-Door]

Geebz: "Nik, wake up !"

[@d.hodgsky]

Andy Cizek (the vocalist, also vocalist for Monuments as well as other projects) did a great "reaction" with Chris Liepe where they talk about the production and vocal layer and whatnot. It was super interesting, I highly recommend it!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Oh that's cool, thanks for the heads up on that. Going there now.

[@Swollen_Goat]

Nik is a much better writer qnd musician than he gives himself credit for. He's truly gifted and skilled and it shows. He has the best trait of a good musician though IMO which is being humble.

[@AvaaSlays_Swiftie]

It is. Being humble seriously goes a long way with fans and anyone you know in your life.

[@Alex-hr1ml]

Its really satisfying to see Nik and Andy's growth. From making small youtube videos, humor, auditions, collabs...etc. To this point. And also is a plus to see their job here, seeing a heatfull, nice and professional analysis. As we say here in Spain: "Vaya tres patas para un banco."

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

The comment about Nik knowing way more than he lets on is very true imo, I get that same vibe. He is not only a great guitar player, but also an exceptional arranger and very much has a "producer's ear" when making songs. Wish we'd see him nerd out about this stuff more, but he's really humble. A great contrast to the rock & metal musicians of yesteryear!

[@jleighwolfe]

Highly recommend checking out his Thursday twitch streams where he does writing live.

[@Kideem]

I keep forgetting that Nik is an insanely talented musician overall and not just a guy whose good at guitar and occasionally does covers. and that chorus has been stuck in my head for days

[@andycizek]

I love your videos and analysis. Thank you for checking out our song!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Humbled by your visit and comment :)

[@SinApex]

I think the thing with Nik is that he's also just getting better and better over time as he keeps doing new stuff. Like he's getting attention from making these "how to metal" and "anything can be metal" videos, but that does give him some great practice in composing and playing stuff without it just being straight up covers. Composing and playing something in the style of someone else is always gonna require an understanding of their sound and style without just falling into copying a specific track, at least if you want it to be a GOOD impression of the band you're referencing. It's better practice than just covering them because it's easy to learn what it takes to play your favourite song and not really absorb any of the technique that goes into it in a way that you can apply elsewhere. It was my big problem when I was learning to play guitar, I just learned riffs from songs I liked and didn't really absorb how to apply it OUTSIDE of that context. I learned how to play the song, not the techniques that made that possible. It essentially means as he makes content he's constantly getting his own fun practice and feeding his own creativity.

[@evanpaddock1655]

Andy is a phenomenal vocalist as well, and his work on the latest monuments is also worthy of checking out!

[@blaynemcguire7573]

His how to make a "X" song in 30 seconds is much harder than he makes it look.

[@d.hodgsky]

Oooh 30 seconds in and I'm so excited for you to react to this! Termina is unreal. Nik and Andy can do no wrong!

[@AspiireToBe]

Another absolutely immaculate Termina track - check out more they are ALL bangers! (personal fav "take flgiht")

[@willvaughn6.395]

This album is soooo good God tier Would love to see periphery do a live cover of one of these Tracks

[@ShonnDaylee]

Hey Geebz! I'm still here! Aloha from Seattle! This is easily one of my favourite tracks from Nick. Very dynamic. Incredible vocal layering.

[@rogersartandsolutions5074]

4:11 essentially what that is, is he timed the Delay pedal to the tempo of the song so that he could double the notes with the delay while he arpeggiates the notes. Paul Gilbert did a whole song I think it was "Echo Song". Rob Scallon's song "Rain" utilizes this.

[@jaredfarney675]

Thanks for doing this reaction. I am a big fan of the Termina project, it just keeps getting better because they do what they like. Nik definitely holds his cards back for sure! 👌🏻🤘🏻

[@Austinwevo]

Really cool of you to always support the younger up and coming generation!

[@NothingTrue11]

This shit rocks! Thanks Geebz!

[@NotRKelly.]

Thank you Geebz 🎉

[@jaimemarconette]

I check in time to time to see if you’ve done Corrosion of Conformity yet but doesn’t look like it. I’m telling you, it’ll knock your socks off.

[@PresidentScrooge]

I agree with Geebz that Nik clearly has some proper musicianship. Song was overall really good albeit not my favourite genre. But thats subjective.

[@maddo-md4mu]

Termina is the land in Majora's Mask, right?

[@trolltothebank]

Yup! Though Termina, even in MM, comes from Terminus ("end" in.. Latin? Same as the world terminal) so I'm also curious if it's just a coincidence or if they like MM as much as I do 😃

[@wolfsguitarden740]

I love niks writing..i mean core guy .so very similar to mine an alot of others but nik is a master man,gotta give credit to andy too tho,hes amazing for sure.

[@DoublebrutalCS2]

The one thing I can't stand with Termina is the lead singer's high pitch. I feel like a dog being tortured by a 25000Hz whistle. It just doesn't grow on me at all no matter how much I love Nik's guitar work.

[@Thracian117]

Love termina!

[@caseyveatch335]

ALLRIGHT 😊

[@nathanlempar4283]

Rawr rawr

[@GeminiWoods]

I love Nik but i could never get into the core stuff. I guess some of it is cool but I find it hard to vibe to. Back in the day my friends were listening to As I lay Dying and im in my car blasting Cannibal Corpse and Emperor.

[@jenniferlchainmailjen152]

He just wrote the full version of the How to Cannibal Corpse song today. I’d imagine we will see the vid come out in a couple of weeks.

[@GeminiWoods]

@jenniferlchainmailjen152 Yeah, saw that. Pretty good stuff.

[@jleighwolfe]

Im not a huge core fan either but i gotta say him and andy do a good job with it

[@dankmeme5196]

just letting you know your audio is not ideal in this video from your microphone. good react though :D

[@machinegunhippy]

Sounds like a boyband trying to impersonate an angry gamer kid tantrum

[@boomerwithatumor4624]

facts

[@trevorcoyle517]

... have you ever heard of metalcore?

[@nicolasvega2658]

I really hate this style of vocalists for the darker genres of metal. That's why I like Meshugah and not Periphery. In contrast, you have singers like Nik Barker from Twelve Foot Ninja... literally he's a ninja, singer with balls.

[@spiritboxyxbox]

I like these singers because of the dynamic sound, harsh guitar and ambience with a melodic voice, its why i love melodic metalcore

[@Volksgranadier]

​@@spiritboxyxboxit's too discordant, without form. Violent music, violent vocals. Of it's melodic vocals, do it with balls... Like Russell Allen. This style is too gayish

[@Volksgranadier]

​@@spiritboxyxboxlisten to twelve foot ninja, that band proves my point

[@spiritboxyxbox]

@@Volksgranadier the fact you used the term gayish just proves you subjectively hate it lol, its mot gay its just a singing style, you dont have to look like gimli and have a 4 ft beard to sing metal bud

[@Volksgranadier]

@@spiritboxyxbox no, but everything is about context

[@boomerwithatumor4624]

song is fire on mute

[@belladonna_scarlet]

Geebz, you're the best. I thoroughly enjoy watching your reactions and always learn something. And you're not old -- well not to me. I was born in the 60s...
