[@METALBIRB]

Sounds like I needed to make a Top 50 Breakdowns video lol. Thanks for watching peeps. Hopefully you found a new breakdown here that will make you flip your couch.

[@natethezip]

Abbie Falls’ EP is absolutely filthy from front to back. Easily makes it among my top albums/EPS of the year.

[@thewretch4081]

Hell yeah love these metalbirb awards Brooo so glad seeing Nocturnal Bloodlust getting some recognition this year, Cremation is such a sick song

[@thenightranger987]

My personal favorite is Hysteria by Spiritbox, but all of these are great

[@BigDenk]

I think I gotta give my breakdown of the year to Krosis - Every Virtue Is Lost. For such a heavy breakdown it's got so much atmosphere and melody and it ending off the album just works so damn well

[@Ana7hema]

At one point I was like "Wait ? It's not a try no to headbang challenge, I can move my head." haha

[@sandonparrish7217]

Ayyyyyy I love seeing Nothing More getting more credit in the metal scene

[@tommylikesmetal]

Cremation being at #1 is so deserved man I felt like I was the only one who knew about it

[@notfaizaan]

Prophet getting Ws like usual

[@M-WRLD]

Fuck yeah bro thanks for putting in Darko at number 2

[@hugopenasolis9651]

I really hoped to see Currents "The death we seek" breakdown, btw, pretty sick choices you made.

[@JakeLuden]

So happy to see Boundaries here. Imo the most underrated band around at the moment, and the best lyricism in the entire genre.

[@mchammer7777]

I really hope Metalbirb does his top picks video, I loved the awards for everyone to vote but would love to hear his personal favs too 🎉

[@OliGeez]

Damn, was waiting for Boundaries - The Tower. Nice list!

[@nanthilrodriguez]

They don't make breakdowns like the used to. Breakdowns used to have such variety, and every band had their own sound. Just a few examples: Skylines (cascade of breakdowns): kzbin.info/www/bejne/i53cioejoJqkZsk Paul Bunyan and the Blue Ox: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6fLkoqHd9Z0hdE Alaska (breakdown within a breakdown): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pICxqZ6nnJx2hcU I do my crosswords in pen (accelerating breakdown): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnXQgqGppa6JrJo OASD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3zIiXaBqsqLrdU Dreaming in Dog Years 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWzaml3h8-lhpo Dreaming in Dog Years 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWzaml3h8-lhpo Tastes like Kevin Bacon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6a6dIKBisyje7s Scavengers Daughter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3yaY6d_mLWXsKc City of Angels Cakewalk (bouncy breakdown): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJTPYq2QpL9noM0 Barbie smells like bandaids: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJTGk2Z_hq6ea8k White Walls: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZile4J9bdJ_g9k Shevanel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnGl4WYhpZkm7c In Dying Days (breakdown then breakdown): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZW4kKOKZbCLias None of my examples sound the same, but every breakdown in the video sounds pretty identical. I couldn't tell you which band made which if you put a gun to my head.

[@karl00l]

Crazy top 5!! Great vid

[@breakdownstv9284]

I love these videos!!! Thanks for the top!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Get the shot is just a brutal album made!😈🤘

[@egornothing1313]

Counterparts - Flesh To Fill Your Wounds is top 1 this year for me

[@Uselessmineral]

Nice One!

[@aaa-gw7jj]

nice job!!

[@sariorochimaru7249]

NGL, Cremation gives me ultimate eargasm.

[@TwistyFreshNips]

So glad Cremation is getting the recognition it deserves, the filthiest deathcore song in the past few years

[@jaredvalleskey9888]

Alpha wolf featuring holding absence 60 cm of steel. Nothing on this list beats the first breakdown in that song.

[@griffinzumoff6570]

Anybody calling you a simp for loving Spiritbox do not understand how good they music sound. They are fantastic on all accounts.

[@nathannixon6597]

So you have most of my favorite breakdowns on this list but some of my favorites from the year that are missing are The Orphan by Paleface and Hail To the King by The Gloom In the Corner.

[@MattBernett]

Consvmer definitely deserved a spot, "Selbsjustiz" consumes everything

[@thomazmiguel2654]

i am impressed that red light gossip by moodring isn't in any of these breakfown lists, its my top 2 this year

[@joshvalencia4390]

That whole album didn't get as much recognition as it should have, its in my top 5 albums of the year

[@jurajblahut4016]

I must say, every extended breakdown section like "Nigh to Silence" from Erra or "Hereafter" from Architects is immediately a must headbang song.

[@stephenhowes6586]

Not sure where to start as far as songs go but top 3 albums: 1: FFAA- Oh What the Future Holds 2: Chelsea Grin- Suffer in Hell 3: Greyhaven- This Bright and Beautiful World Darko US definitely has top video

[@artistrankings6794]

my top 5 5- Slaughterhouse- MIW 4- Paradox- Aviana (The "I will stay alive" one In the middle, the ending ones are mid 3- Killing Time- Bleed From Within (first one) 2- Needful Things- Stray From The Path 1- Sol Absentia- ERRA

[@user-ke3dg4yd1u]

very good list (:

[@vxdra]

totally agree with your number 1, unbelievable breakdown.

[@Glintingbeetle]

you gotta check out Atlvs - Comethazine (underappreciated one) and Inclination - Thoughts And Prayers (Knocked Loose side project)

[@jacobwalters]

YEEEEEAAAAAH BOOOOOIIIII ENTERPRISE EARTH

[@TricksBe4Chicks]

Breakdown of the year for me was Treading Ever So Deeply by A Dozen Black Roses

[@pharm30]

Get the Shot are underrated but at least gets some recognition here ! 🤘🏻😈

[@Glintingbeetle]

good list

[@goCubsgo102]

Wait, I had no idea nothing more had a song with a breakdown in it.

[@Furykidxxx]

Deathbound IS a breakdown with a bit of song in it. xDD Same as Chelsea Grin suffer in Heaven, Suffer in Hell

[@Jessicarodriguez-lk1nb]

How is no one mentioning the gloom in the corner !!! That’s wild to me 😭😭

[@traviskyle7103]

Everyone in the comments need to check out Snake Eater or Loose Ends by Diesect, Tearing Your Life Away by Guilt Trip, Flesh to Fill Your Wounds by Counterparts, and Without End by Distinguisher

[@HellSpartanZ]

Nothing more Spirits was the album of year

[@user-gp9zh2cz3l]

A N K O R .❤️🇬🇷❤️🇬🇷❤️🇬🇷❤️

[@Luca-xh2fq]

I really wouldve liked to see something from Spite in there 😢

[@kinlaw-216]

Thank you for this bro l

[@nathanwall5464]

Please! Check out 'Enemy AC130 Above'!! He shreds!!

[@xtrafe5953]

If you noticed, this is quite a low-key try not to headbang challenge.

[@trs5127]

Before I watch the whole video, mine has to be Enterprise Earth - Reanimate//Disintegrate

[@zackdissolves]

MY BODY IS A CAGE

[@aliyahburnette8018]

I would have put arkangel by thornhill on the list, weight of glory by wolves at the gates is my favorite breakdown of 2022.

[@maleniabladeofmiquella1481]

Love the list but I was hoping to see at least one Worm Shepherd song or a song by this new band called Exodia The Destroyer

[@bcm5pointer]

Sleep Token said “we gonna own 2023”

[@TylerReedVlogs]

Norma Jean ❤

[@PENNYTRATION99]

Glad grayscale season made the list

[@davidcwk01]

BAKEDOWNS!

[@tobifunpp]

I'm gonna check out a few songs, because there is no orgasm without context 😉

[@goodvibes6772]

Ehh to the grave Axe of kind?

[@bigbunn_]

Man I forgot about Cremation, that song is disgusting.

[@colehanlin4250]

Yes OAA

[@SuperEric717]

I guess everyone’s definition of a break down is different. Because all those in my opinion don’t fit my description of a breakdown.

[@toxicblight1835]

northlane obsidian not being on here is a miss for sure

[@modernmetalhead9708]

Bodysnatcher... 😔😔😔

[@codywebb2768]

I really feel like you hate Lorna shore because people like Lorna shore. No hate about it but we can tell

[@rynethorup5690]

I gotta disagree with the analogy. I dont feel ashamed and go immediately to sleep after a breakdown

[@johnnystevens3587]

didnt know Jesus was hosting

[@METALBIRB]

🙏🏻

[@BulletToothMac]

I’m surprised Slaughterhouse wasn’t higher. It’s personally in my top 3 at least.

[@kimeklund8880]

Aviana - Patadox should be number 1 😊 Some great breakdowns from the Metalcore genre this year… But u could have Sold Soul A Wake in providence Consvmer Darko US Alot of great metal out there

[@simonedimaso]

I would've put Concrete Jungle by Bad Omens, the breakdown is just too good

[@METALBIRB]

I knooow I pulled them out even though the "I'm the fucking king!" line is so good

[@simonedimaso]

@@METALBIRB yeeeeesssss may sound edgy but it is really badass

[@praveene5921]

Let it play little longer man 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@vitaminme4203]

Amazed Slaughterhouse wasn't further up the list.

[@robrunne]

Really not feeling this list. There's good quality breakdowns here but not top... Maybe it was just a weak year for music

[@daniellowry3713]

wayyyyyyy too fast man

[@daniellowry3713]

too fast man..... you're cutting them half off... stop rushing

[@TricksBe4Chicks]

All the slow deathcore breakdowns have nothing on a good metalcore breakdown
