ROADIE REACTIONS | "Amaranthe - Digital World"

[@TheNightOwl11683]

You need to see their cover of Sabaton's "82nd All The Way", & check out Sabaton's version of it as well, probably as a double feature

[@richardjohansson2648]

I second this.

[@daak8927]

would love to see that aswell!

[@richardjohansson2648]

Amaranthe also got up on stage with Sabaton and performed the song together.

[@ScryptarPlaysGames]

this.

[@smore_32]

I also approve this message.

[@wayneyeadon9680]

Good points made at the start of this reaction. Music is so varied you can't like everything and even stuff in the same genre you probably won't like, which surprises some folks. I'm with you all the way on that one!

[@Sossie99]

Big smile to my face! Never thought I would see "Eurovision" in one of your reaction videos. But you are spot on. It wouldn't be out of place on the show, and as well as the chord progression there is a euro-techno vibe to the drums. Seriously great channel and love the info on the equipment.

[@esaedvik]

Tbh, Eurovision is far from being a single-genre music competition, as it tends to be just a collection of the worst pop songs from each country as the songs have to be brand new. It's more of a reality TV show built around music, been that for ages. I see a lot of community spirit in it too, with some friends/acquaintances gathering together to watch the show and talk about it. Some use it for political messages, some for humanitarian, human rights etc. causes. Which is definitely a great aspect of it. I've never really been a fan of pop music, so Eurovision hasn't resonated with me either. Maybe ABBA being the only exception ever :D

[@gimbolak8928]

Glad you like that more, now you have to check out BOOM!1 or GG6 :D Edit: Also, you should do a Sabaton's 82nd All The Way reaction and then compare it to Amaranthe's cover of this song.

[@joskuoraa5643]

This is why I like your reactions so fucking much. You tell honestly if you dont like some songs, you dont try to pretend in hope of more subs. Keep being honest, you are awesome!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks man!

[@rileyxxxx]

glad u like this one, its indeed one of their best songs! the composition and editing is crazy good. and elize's voice is just ♥ shes such a sweet person !

[@KnightWolfl]

Glad you liked it, I wasn't a fan at the beginning but they grew on me, they have a truly unique sound which makes them appealing to me at least

[@ericgudenkauf98]

Amaranthe was my gateway drug into metal. Dynamite off of the same album was my first time really sitting down and saying to myself I want to get into metal. Therefore Massive Addictive was the first Metal Album I listened to all the way. Then came australian post hardcore band Sienna Skies. As Fall Out Boy said Thnks fr th Mmrs, Tank!

[@jro2.147]

They have a kind of power ballad-y song called "Amaranthine" that was one of my brother's favorite songs. I dont know if it's because the song is really good, or if I just miss him, or both, but that song gives me all kinds of feelings every time. Even when I don't love one of their songs, I'm still always impressed with how tight of a band they are.

[@Adi031978]

As you brought up the Eurovision Song Contest here, maybe check out the previous winner Lordi from Finland. Let's say they won with an "unusual" song 😉

[@christianlofgren5814]

Thanks for doing this and kudos for doing another Amaranthe reaction! Big smile on my face when you said you had the "Fearless" chorus stuck in your head :D So many Swedish and Finnish bands that are so great at writing these really catchy "Eurovision" type of choruses. I love it! Did you check out Battle Beast or Beast in Black? Also killer catchy choruses, and phenomenal vocalists.

[@EmilySnow0]

For me this is like a nice relaxing song ^^ Good reaction ^^

[@SethBlackMedia]

This song is on my workout playlist. Definitely gets me through my cardio workouts.

[@ilkkak3065]

Talking about Eurovision Song contest... There is one Winner you might like. Finland has won contest Once and did it by this Song Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYG4aauOjpiqgNE Video is winners home coming gig at Helsinki. And as Song title tells It's little different than usually winners. And band is also different than most rock bands...

[@petter5721]

A bunch of Headbangers in Stockholm sends a big “thank you” for you humble and entertaining videos 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@christophersims3319]

This is their best song by far. Haven’t seen them live yet.

[@gilganos5276]

I really get where you're coming from. Amaranthe is a bit of a strange phenomenon to me, since there's songs like Digital World and Call Out My Name that I can easily count to my favorite songs of all time, while others that use mostly similar elements (and also are from the same albums) just really don't hook with me for some reason I don't understand (like Fearless). Also make sure to check out Do Or Die with Angela Gossow ;-) (and 82nd All The Way of course, one of the best both Sabaton and Amaranthe - songs)

[@Buffaloheart68]

Definite Do or Die song is sick

[@grasped2]

"Massive Addictive" is such a golden box. So many cool songs. And ofc I miss Jake, too sad he left the band.

[@mikem1457]

Dang missed live premier... glad you digging it more.

[@angelsvortex]

Some of their stuff takes me a few listens to get really into it, so I understand you.

[@johnrodriguez7992]

Here to Save You by Cyhra has a live video with lots of tech stuff. Jake E. vocals are amazing and Jesper is a legend. Give them a shot. 💪LET’S GO!!!

[@henrikgafvert5983]

You like Sabaton, there's a few videos you should check out. Amaranthe does a Sabaton cover of 82:nd All The Way. It's brilliant. And there's a video with Sabaton and Amaranthe sharing the stage doing the song I mentioned.

[@dernwine]

Speaking of Eurovision.... Tank have you considered reacting to Lordi preforming Hard Rock Hallelujah and winning Eurovision?

[@lens_hunter]

Have you heard anything from the band Ghost? They are one of my favorites. I think Square Hammer is my favorite song of all time atm.

[@RazielKainus]

oh yeah, and if you enjoy interesting genre merges, try Rage Of Light - it combines melodic death metal, power metal and trance, plus occasional symphonic elements... one of the most original bands/albums in a while (their debut is called Imploder) :) \m/

[@RazielKainus]

365 is a kickass song, you cant really do a better introduction to a new singing talent than that... thanks to it I also checked that singer's home band Dynazty, and maaaan are they great... the last three albums including the latest one (Dark Delight) are just pure melodic metal heaven :) you can even hear the charisma in the voice \m/

[@datatravelleri]

If you end up checking out more Amaranthe my personal favorite is Drop Dead Cynical and would love to see that one reacted to.

[@androgmey]

Should definitely check out Boom. That song slaps!!! 🤘

[@LWDrumz]

I love the songs 365 and Dream by them.

[@brianalberico9171]

They have a lot of variety between songs. You gotta see them with Sabaton doing 82nd All the Way live.

[@shanewigmore755]

Thumbs up for the intro "rant"! Totally agree!

[@scytheblade9970]

Nexus and Burn With Me are really good too for original clean male vocals. I also really like Dream and Archangel for the newer clean male vocals.

[@stups9975]

I was a lot like you when I first heard this band. Then I listened to more songs and they just got stuck in my head. Then I ended up having to get some albums. They write very catchy songs. There is a lot of diversity with the songs so some will sit well some not so much. But I learned that even the ones that don’t sit well end up sounding better after multiple listens.

[@jenslindberg1152]

You should definitely check out "82n All The Way" and "BOOM!1", and why not "Archangel" and "Hunger" also. Thanks for a great reaction as always Tank!

[@Jondera1]

Chipping in my vote for "Drop Dead Cynical" off the same album; it was my introduction to Amaranthe, and sold me on the band all by itself.

[@shanewigmore755]

And to throw some random recommendations out there more in line with Folk Metal, Elvenking and Ensiferum are always at the top of my go to bands!

[@martinstromgren2739]

You said the last reaction that if the guy screaming it would be better for your taste, look up BOOM! From det new album :) more from him 😜

[@stephenkissinger4434]

Now that you've mentioned Eurovision, there needs to be an appearance by Lordi. I had thought about suggesting them for Halloween, but for some reason didn't.

[@FCFoulCaptains]

I completely agree with you. My first thought with this song was "it would absolutely win Eurovision hahah"

[@crabuki1273]

Amaranthe is fine, just not my bag. Their cover of Sabaton's "82nd All the Way" or "Amaranthine" are probably my favorite tracks of theirs. I like Elize Ryd as she's done a lot of good stuff with Kamelot over the years, and she had that night with Alissa White-Gluz as the lead singers for Nightwish, and in the interviews I've seen of her seems like a really nice person. Their music is just... kind of... poppy samey mixed with some of my least favorite bits of metal vocals. I do adore "Amaranthine," which still has stuff I kind of don't like, yet does it so well I can't argue with how enjoyable the song is to listen to.

[@StephenDahlke]

"Invincible" would be my suggestion for the next Amaranthe song, especially if you want it to be stuck in your head. But if you liked the thematic elements of this one, you should check out Orden Ogan's latest single, "In the Dawn of the AI" (and Orden Ogan in general, they're fun).

[@RazielKainus]

also, 365, the intro electronics stuff, sounds like something that wouldnt be too out of place on lets say, DOOM 2016 or DOOM Eternal soundtrack, lol :D

[@obijuan-kenobi5117]

Wooo! Glad you liked this one. My favorite track off the new album is Archangel. I think you'd dig it as well 🤘

[@ladislavcakora627]

I will just leave this here. EVERYTHING STARTS WITH A BOOM!

[@christiansanity]

This is actually how I felt about Eskimo Callboy when I first heard them. I wasn’t a fan at first, but kept listening and now they’re one of my top played bands on Spotify lol.

[@Draztikus]

a few recommendations, by album, if you want to get into more Amaranthe: selftitled: Leave Everything Behind Hunger 1000000 Light Years Automatic The Nexus: Electroheart The Nexus Massive Addictive (the album Digital World is from): Honestly all of them, as an Amaranhte fan it's still my favourite album and close to perfect; notable ones: Dynamite Massive Addictive Drop Dead Cynical MAXIMALISM: That Song Limitless HELIX: Iconic Helix GG6 Dream Manifest: Archangel Stronger (featuring Noora Louhimo from Battle Beast) BOOM!1 Do Or Die (either the album version with Nils and GG6 on vocals or the single version with Elize and Angela Gossow (formerly of Arch Enemy)) Each album has one or two ballads, didn't add those above but if you're interested the most iconic ones are Amaranthine from their self titled, True from Massive Addictive and Endlessly from MAXIMALISM(so far the only song of theirs to feature only Elize on vocals) Lastly, they also did cover versions of Army of the Night (Powerwolf) and 82nd All the Way (Sabaton)

[@zachmauch4451]

GG6 would be up your alley🤘

[@deathguardian25]

Their first and second album are by far their best material, you should check the nexus, hunger, afterlife or 1.000.000 lightyears, insane songs

[@janaschulz8665]

Please react to Bury Tomorrow! Man On Fire, Earthbound, Cannibal, Better Below, Last Light, Cemetery and The Burden are just a few songs I would recommend ☺️

[@jukkaaho9056]

Boom!1 As in the song for which they released a music video a few days ago. Check it out. Full disclosure, I'm not really a fan of this band, but that track is just pure fun!

[@TheSealDribble]

You should really check out their säng "Army of the Night", it like power metal on steroids!

[@TheSealDribble]

@Yazmynn Johnstone True! I prefer the Amaranthe version tho, but both are very good :)

[@04me93]

I'll comment twice i dont care. You mentioned Dragonland. You just got mad respect from me. I LOVE Dragonland

[@Papierflugzeug95]

You could give "Asenblut" a go. They are somewhat similar to Amon Amarth, but German! Personal favourites are Die Legende (2018 version), Drachenborn, Berserkerzorn (has an English version, so probably that one) and God or Man, covered from Manowar.

[@chriswicecarver3715]

Gotta say, yes...I liked this one as well much more. To me it's still metal. I really enjoyed it. ----------------------- Tank, I noticed you mentioned the immense catalog of music they have. How about looking at that band I've asked you to review...NAILBOMB. The don't have much of a catalog at all. A once-off project. But the quality of it was amazing. Cavalera is insanely good and this was a hell of a side project. Darn near everything on there one project was top notch. Please do a review of something from there Live Dynamo performance. You won't regret it.

[@michaelapavleckova7863]

Not one of my favourite bands, BUT... when I saw them live at the festival, it was awesome. Their show makes u dance and dance and dance (just for a record... I hate dancing, but I couldn't help it :D ). It is dfinitely full of great energy :) I'm glad u gave them second chance :)

[@bryanrolph]

For something a bit different that the usual you should totally check out Blue Stahli - ULTRAnumb if you're not already familiar with him.

[@Catgirl6Poezebeest]

This just makes me wanna jump and dance! I only really discovered Amaranthe earlier this year. I have heard some songs, like The Nexus, before, but after listening to Drop Dead Cynical it all somehow clicked and I was hooked. I’ve had their entire discography on shuffle repeatedly, until Nightwish released Human Nature and I put that on repeat. But with every band there are always some songs, at least one or two on every album, you like more, or less, than some other songs. I’m glad you didn’t write Amaranthe off immediately after Fearless! Also, amazing you managed to reference the Eurovision Song Contest in your metal reaction videos! 😂 ESC is one of my guilty pleasures. Here it’s truly a hate-it-or-love-it thing, haha. And it’s so very not metal! Although, did you know Lordi, a Finnish hard rock band, won ESC2006? That was kinda hilarious and awesome at the same time.

[@Brandon066362]

The Nexus needs to be on the short list of Amaranthe songs to check out! Also, they have a great power ballad side that is not to be missed. If you're intrigued, might I suggest Amaranthine ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnPh2SKpJKSnLc ) or Endlessly (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hISohmCpdshqrK8 ) Endlessly is a special song because it was written for Olof's wedding, so it is very personal for the band. It's beautiful.

[@azel9496]

Amaranthe is euro-dance metal ;) I don't love them, but there are few songs that are really dig.

[@kurairaf4618]

alright ! now lets head somewhere more violent You need to look at Crystal lake's new video/song Disobey its something else... the feels...

[@Kampfknusperli]

Plz try out more Austrian Bands : 1) The Sorrow: “Where is the Sun ?“ or “Crossing Jordan“ 2) Artas :“Rassenhass“ or “Barbossa“ 3)Heathen Foray “Armored Bards“ 4)Drescher “First Blood“ 5)Norikum “ The World's Desease“ . Greetings from Austria!

[@mikerubicini2028]

If you liked Olof the guitarist, you should check out Dragonland. He is also in that band and "Fire and Brimstone", "Antimatter", or "Shadow of the Mithril Mountains" are great first timer songs Cheers!.

[@blueeyes1110]

Yo tank I think you would enjoy BOOM! but the video It's heavy as f**k and shows off GG6 and is a super rare non Elize song fun fact the first song I heard by them was Drop Dead Cynical and I thought wow but the song that made me fall in love with them is Digital World off same album and it was my favorite till Maximize off the next album

[@blueeyes1110]

I'm going to post this it will be my 3rd time You need to do more from this awesome band I'll put the album number in brackets Elize Ryd (1-6) Jake E (clean ) (1-4) Andreas Solveström (harsh) (1,2) Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson aka GG6 (harsh) (3-6) Nils Molin (clean ) (5,6) here's my top 15 in order (10 was too hard lol) 1.Fearless (6) you if course did this 2. Maximize (4) 3.Digital World (3) and this lol 4.Burn with Me (2) (balladish) 5.Drop Dead Cynical (3) 6.Hunger (1) 7.The Nexus (2) 8.Viral (6) 9.Dream (5) 10.That Song (4) 11.Helix (5) 12.Archangel (6) 13 .Amaranthine (1) (ballad) 14.365 (5) 15.Endlessly (4) (ballad)

Time for some Baroness man 🤘🏻 Chlorine and Wine 💜

[@daak8927]

Happy to see you liked this one better! I must say "Fearless" didn't resonate with me either tbh.

[@scottwest2310]

GG6 and their new one BOOM! are some you should check out if you really like the more harsh vocals.

you should try boom!1 or GG6 by them

[@ulozto666]

I have started before maybe 15 years with "Amarathine" and "HUNGer" at the demo version of their first realesing.. :)) yes I AM OLD ..

[@Raven596]

If you want to try something more obscure I'd recomend you have a listen to the band Sonic Syndicate. The song Denied is pretty damn good.

[@GothicLightingQueen]

A very good song from the same album is Drop Dead Cynical, Another song as so many have said, The Nexus

[@chrisscott820]

Also, we all have different tastes or music would be boring, don't worry about the haters. If you want to try more, check out Boom.

[@bobsatan69]

This one is definitely more what I like. I didn't care for fearless either. Not really familiar with this band so don't have many suggestions apart from the nexus.

[@qrowesnestbookreviews6127]

Glad to see you enjoyed this a lot more! I'll second The Nexus, that was the first Amaranthe song I heard and one of their most well known. Massive Addictive, the title track off this song's album, is another insanely catchy song. Then again, this band has a lot of catchy songs.

[@Juras1mo]

Yep, The Nexus would be great song to react

[@VariaHellstorm]

"The Nexus"! "Drop dead cynical"! *Leaves*

[@djdrake1163]

These are so good

[@MRetoastet]

Archangel as well.

[@Deato9000]

For something fun but very different by them I'd recommend their songs Do or Die, GG6, and Boom!1

[@eskimomike2810]

100% recommend Dor or die it does feat Angela Gossow from arch enemy worth a listen!

[@RefriedVirus]

I love Boom!1

[@300metalhead]

“Viral” is off the new album and is sort of a follow up to this, it’s a lot better than Fearless IMO.

[@bigcheif23]

Agree. I also like archangel better as well. I also love all the flames 🔥 on the archangel video lol

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Completely agree with Archangel, and with Viral. They did very well with both singles.

[@JFGelinas]

Or maybe Boom!1

[@arpod1980]

I disagree. I really like fearless. It's my favorite off their new album. The others are great too, but I just really like fearless.

[@charleshenggeler2691]

Glad you enjoyed this one! Love the challenge back to the people getting angry for you not liking that first song. "Helix" and "the Nexus" are good ones to do next.

[@NYMetsNo1]

I get it. Not everything is for anyone. Some bands have a more universal appeal than others. GHØSTKID really isn't my thing. Nothing against the band themselves. Just not my thing. If Power Pop Metal isn't your thing, you might not have liked Fearless either.

[@dave-bk6vt]

OK, so to get Tank to watch Epica, I just need to insult him in the right way! Tank, your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries! In all seriousness, thanks again for this great musical journey you are taking us on; living alone this year in lockdown, the music and the live chats with their banter is greatly appreciated. This channel is built on how awesome a human being you are, and that shines through the videos.

My favorite Amaranthe song has always been 1.000.000 Light Years. Such a good song

[@Triskaan]

Back to Amaranthe I see. Yeah, for me they're usually hit or miss... some of their songs are awesome, many are.... yeah, less so. Anyways, apart from Skalmold, I'm really looking forward to the return of Blind Guardian, Iced Earth or Sabaton on your channel most of all. But one of the things I'm really looking forward for you to check as well is Demons & Wizards - Crimson King / Fiddler on the Green (live in Wacken). :)

[@Taran858]

Yeah, I describe Amaranthe as the kind of music you put on when going to workout. They have some solid tracks, some exception ballards, but always a bit hit and miss. Fyi my fave Amaranthe song is also off this album (Over and Done)

I love that you take so much of what your audience says into consideration! I think it’s a big part of why I keep coming back to your channel over other reaction channels. You’re just genuinely enjoyable to watch and I’ve learned a lot about gear as well. I’ll drop a recommendation for Sign of the Dragonhead by Leaves Eyes

[@DimaTkach]

Ohh it looks like you have some seriously good taste man! Good job, Tank! I would recommend you to check another swedish band called Evergrey

[@randomstuffzofdoom]

Hunger from the first album and Nexus from the second album are probably their overall most popular songs, and they´re really good both of them. A real banger would be to do sabaton 82nd all the way, and then do amaranthes version right after to compare the two ^^ My personal favorite is Archangel from the latest album, such a sweet chorus on that song.

[@nunalves7]

Elize Ryd was Nightwish lead singer in one show 😆 She and Alissa from Arch Enemy step up for Annette who was sick. Then, came Floor. You can see that in the vídeo "Please learn our setlist in 48h"
