Wish this would've been released before the awards because I really believe this would've taken best breakdown for sure

[@DemonLordRaiden]

I love that the clean chorus really lets the breakdown and verses shine even heavier since there were lighter moments in the track. Feel like it hits less hard if the whole track is brutal 100% brutal 100% of the time.

[@jeremygeorge6241]

Kyle is absolutely disgustingly talented. His range is incredible and Brand of Sacrifice is one of the best metal bands out there. There's just something about their songs and especially their breakdowns that just hit different.

I genuinely feel bad for people who don't like metal. Taste is subjective, but I'm glad I know how it feels when the beat drops on a sick breakdown.

Kudos to Nik for always introducing me to awesome bands!

I remember having my mind blown back when Eclipse first came out, yet these guys seem to get more and more extreme with every release and I couldn't love it more!

[@mccoy1369]

I just wanted to say thank you Nik. You have introduced me to so many bands/songs. I'm an old school metalhead. I'm about to be 49, yeah I'm getting up there in age, I listened to late 80s/90s thrash, groove and industrial, with very little death metal, Morbid Angel and Obituary. I was never a big fan of the growls, but you among a couple others... Shouts out to Stevie T and Jared Dines, help me understand that who gives a shit if you don't understand "every" word in the lyrics... THE SONG IS FUCKING HEAVY!!!... and that what is important. You introduced me to so many Deathcore bands and I am truly grateful. Shit, quick list....Lorna Shore, Slaughter to Prevail, Brand of Sacrifice and Falling in Reverse, just to name a few. You have really helped me in more ways than one, to reconnect with myself, and I am truly thankful. Thank you Nik, for keeping the metalhead alive in me. 🤘🤘

[@jakeunderwood6845]

Got too meet Kyle in the summer at the Danforth music hall in Toronto. Fit For An Autopsy was playing, and Joe stepped out of the venue too go talk too him, caught them both by the entrance and talked too them for about ten minutes! Got some pictures, an autograph, and lots of great advice about where too go too next with my metal vocals, was a night I’ll never forget!!

[@ShadowViper001]

Honestly, I think Kyle up there for one of the best vocalists in metal, His Harsh vocals are insane, and, as we have seen from "The Rumbling" cover a while ago - alongside his other projects, of course - his clean vocals are absolutely lovely. It is hard not to say his sheer vocal prowess is near god-tier. Hell, Brand of sacrifice as a whole are god-tier. One of the best in the game.

[@jackinthebox1817]

Still no match for Ben Durr

Their syncopated sound specifically or syncopation in general? If the former, what's different about BoS's syncopation? I like learning about these things lol

[@travisspaulding9540]

@@whatisahandleplzin general, their take on deathcore is different than majority of the bands out there. Like noticeably.

[@AnimetalViking]

No other band does what Brand Of Sacrifice are doing. Their sound is super distinct while still being able to pinpoint the video game score influences (namely Doom and Devil May Cry) and of course some of that industrial groove and downtuning from someone like Klayton of Celldweller. Banger track for sure 🤘🤘

[@Mypeenorhurt]

I love how some of their songs sound like old death metal but reinvented

[@SMG_Media_Marketing]

This is a perfect description for Brand Of Sacrifice. 🤙🏻

[@jmanredbull1]

Glad to see Celldweller/Circle of Dust/Scandriod fans elsewhere in metal, klayton has some awesome music with electronic/industrial elements

[@NeedzMoreDakka]

We need more songs with Kyle and Will just going ham

[@GFCmndr13]

Happy to hear you bring up The Afterimage for the historical context! They're easily one of my favorite bands. Brand of Sacrifice is obviously a pretty different style, but people and the music they're inspired to make change over time, so it's nothing but mad respect to Kyle and the guys for staying true to themselves. Wishing you all a very happy mid-November!

[@So98902]

they never disappoint damn. that breakdown was insane. I even like the clean vocals too.

[@chromatic_death4976]

I went to a show a few months ago where these guys opened. I had no prior knowledge of any of the bands that night. I don't even listen to stuff like this usually but they absolutely killed it. They ended up being my favorite band that played the whole night.

[@cadebrown3244]

Thank you to Nik for helping me discover amazing bands by doing these reactions.

[@DanTheGolfer]

Brand of sacrifice blew my mind seeing them live its amazing. They were amazing along with after the burial, thy art is murder, the currents.

[@Stobelius]

My fIrst thought was that this sounds very much like Cattle Decapitation and especially their latest album Death Atlas. Probably because of the chorus. Much heavier overall though. I will definitely check this out.

[@mishapashchenko6518]

Still recovering from that breakdown, damn that was heavy!

Sick song👌🏻Chelsea grins new album is amazing, the last track Suffer in hell, suffer in heaven is insane

[@TimeLordReturns]

The last album was the precursor for Kyle to bring clean vocals back into BoS though some of the collabs and I am SO happy he did. Kyle has such a unique voice with cleans and gutterals/screams. This song, 10/10.

[@kyunasan]

3:03 I got the exact same reaction haha they absolutly killed it! Love this band so much

[@AlexTV_FPS]

If I had to guess, the tuning either went to G0, F0, or E0. I can't tell properly, but... If I had to choose, I'd say it's a G0 given the octave pitch down.

[@Jarlaxle_Baenre]

Why does the ending, like 4:33 on, remind me so much of Chelsea Grin- Hostage? lol Either way, fucking BANGER!

Ngl, that’s pretty tame for BoS, their stuff doesn’t usually have choruses with semi-clean vocals.

I only wished they'd play the chorus a second time right before the end, it's so catchy it's stuck in my head now, otherwise 10/10 track, loved it

Vocalist sounds very similar when scream singing to Kingdom of Giants, my recommendation to start wayfinder, two suns,burner. Trust me this band is a gem.

Saw this live, it was fucking phenomenal

[@TheWarriorXander]

If Rob Scallon is to be believed, I think that tuning is called Drop Q xD he did a stupid video years ago where he just tried to tune as low as he possibly could, and it got ridiculous. The strings were massive, and you could barely differentiate the "notes" he was playing.
