Top 50 BEST Metal Breakdowns In 2021

[@METALBIRB]

Thanks for watching homies. What’s your personal favourite breakdown of 2021?

[@mattjones6450]

De Rerum Natura 🙂

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Crown The Empire - Dancing with the Dead got robbed BIG time.

[@Glintingbeetle]

Termina - The Edge Of Time Had me on the edge of my seat and was on repeat for a long time

[@Glintingbeetle]

*The Ending Breakdown

[@Tigerjunky93]

Melting Amber was such a bad ass surprise. That breakdown blew me away.

[@DBurnsTTV]

I love how the number 1 pick needed so little discussion

[@toosickk2808]

I haven’t watched yet but I’m guessing it has to be “to the hellfire” ! I think it’s the most badass breakdown that I’ve ever heard. If not I will be deleting this comment in 14 minutes 58 seconds.

[@dylanmeyer72]

The fact that number 1 needed so little explanation just hammers home how absolutely brutal that breakdown is

[@clintbrooks7753]

I love how 'To The Hellfire' didn't even need an explanation.

[@patbateman8116]

Tbh the entire new Knocked Loose ep should be on here 😂 absolute slapper all the way through lmao

[@skilledbros]

Oh my god I forgot about Melting Amber. That is such a good song and is easily one of the best songs of the year. Thank you so much for reminding me about it dude!

[@ShumaGtr1]

Above, Below is such a great band! The Lotus Chapters album was on repeat for a while.

[@SmyD87_]

So fucking good. Been hooked since the reaction and haven't stopped jamming it at least a few times a day since.

[@crb6852]

I LOVE to see Above, Below in the top 5. those dudes are killing it I cant wait for their next release

[@Ethan_Coble]

Agreed, one of the absolute best bands in the scene right now and underrated as HELL.

[@rewoundmusic2312]

It was certainly a great year for breakdowns mentally and for music.

[@pharm30]

Still get pumped with breakdown in Baba Yaga

[@landonbarb6330]

Funeral Derangements is probably my favorite breakdown of the year based off the buildup to it. It still gives me chills at the throat cut.. so awesome

[@SeenFeen]

Nice video and great choices. For me, To the Hellfire is the obvious choice but the breakdown for WBTBWB's song Piks Mich is also goated

[@artistrankings6794]

oh hey i just started watching your vids

[@8JFJK8]

Seeeeeeeeeen

[@ThcBanaman]

PeeeenFeeen 😍❤️

[@jdm8702]

Piks Mich is song of the year here.

[@brendangibson8200]

Imo, the breakdown in the middle of Forlorn by TDWP is the best on the album and much better than the one in Termination

[@cryst4]

Facts I was waiting for it on the list

[@teiwaz656]

Great seeing Humanity's Last Breath getting some love, what an album!

[@loganhunter5734]

What a great year for metal music. A couple of my favorite breakdowns were in IA’s As If It Never Was and spiritbox’s title track Eternal Blue

[@Atlyrr]

Love seeing Atlas on here, not enough people are talking about their album

[@Atlyrr]

@@rafa2209 such an incredible album

[@johnnygotgrowls]

Thanks for including us birbs! Much appreciated 💕

[@bl0odm1st7]

Love this time of the year for these videos! Cheers mate.

[@shiningsun4023]

Landmvrks with lost in a wave comes to mind as one of my favorites. Also some from the WBTBWB album smacked me good. And of course Take your Pick feat Corpsgrinder. Bangers!

[@braydenoneil2129]

That first WBTBWB song made me laugh so hard. 😂 I was not expecting the dude to go LALALALALALALALALA

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Nice picks, many I haven’t heard before… Will Ramos made that breakdown with those snarls! The top spot is well deserved!!

[@BloodMythos]

How did Reflections not make the list bro!!!! Anyway solid and yeah I agree Lorna Shore needs no discussion lmaooo

[@YZFMX256]

I’m surprised dexcore didn’t make an appearance on this list considering “earthworm”was just a breakdown in a breakdown

[@DasKotaBear]

We need a spotify playlist of these songs :)

[@aavosooghi]

Excellent list. Also lol at metaldoggo scratching himself at that peanuts joke 😂😂

[@METALBIRB]

Someone watched until the very end ;)

[@0owmjapo0]

Hell yeah 🤘 time to make a Spotify playlist

[@mathieudanjou8448]

Between the buried and me god damn this band is OG as fuck and inspire every metalcore band 4 sure ! Good to see us in 2021-2022

[@kidneystonermusic]

Good call on the ETID one. I don't even know whick one I would have picked off Radical

[@tosodoulis100]

I really loved the Systematic breakdown by While She Sleeps

[@matthewknight7180]

Dancing with the Dead by Crown the Empire is one that I can't stop listening to. Not near the top of the list but worth a listen!

[@karthikv9517]

Thankyou so much for this breakdown.

[@thyweebhub]

Out of all the bands this year to have the best Breakdowns, Brand Of Sacrifice definitely took the W of best breakdowns of this year and some of the best breakdowns in metalhead ever heard, especially with Lifeblood

[@KennonRude]

Ruin off of that album was just.....

[@brucecooley70]

Yup, I think every list like this will have that as #1... for good reason.

[@SmyD87_]

Dude so pumped to see above, below in the top 5.nothing smacked me harder than that breakdown this year. It was my most listened to on Spotify. 🙏💪

[@williamsummerson1204]

Amazing video homie. Happy new year. Looking forward to some earth shattering breakdowns in 2022.🤘🤘

[@artistrankings6794]

great list, tho i honest to god dont know how anyone can pick any breakdown off of ERRA’s album that isnt “Snowblood”. one of the hardest breakdowns ive heard in years. good example of less is more kinda like “White Nile”

[@justinu4521]

Slaughter to Prevail- Made in Russia

[@Gauge89]

I agree, I’d put made in Russia’ s breakdown ahead of Baba Yaga

[@daokayestguitaristunder2061]

My favorite breakdown was from Starset with the song Devolution. Very heavy

[@breakdownstv9284]

Yeah, man! I love this breakdowns🤘🔥 Thanks❤👍🤘

[@waynecalvert2148]

When I saw lifeblood at 8 I legit said this would have been my number 1, before I saw the 7 that followed. Im curious to see what I've forgotten about. Valde. My god that melted my face like the first time all over again

[@ArborMusicLife]

"It's up to us to reshape this course Between the buried and me" Not quite a breakdown, but the song ending of double helix gives me the chills every time. Thanks for all the great content. Happy new year!

[@machmslf]

Vola finally getting the credit they deserve

[@NutHouseReject]

I was about to be surprised if Lorna shore didn’t make the list I’m glad it’s number 1 it deserved it

[@Amer_S]

Thought the title said 'MENTAL Breakdowns in 2021' and I thought , "Yep, there were quite a few of those"

[@Revnoir29871]

My best breakdown of the Year is for Wage War - Death Roll 💪 But... Lorna Shore had balls dude To the hellfire Crazy... 😤

[@Durkhead]

Ink hip to be scared is my fav

[@h0pesfall]

Many bands I've never heard of. Thanks for the suggestions. :D

[@dominicklomas193]

NO TO THE GRAVE?!?! AT ALL?!?!

[@edwardwilliams243]

Right??? All their new tracks were worthy tbh

[@FKaga]

My favourite breakdown from Wage War's album is actually True Colors. I feel like that's an underrated song too

[@joshfitt9026]

Kinda sucks that 90% of breakdowns are cut off in this list

[@kristianradulescu287]

Was kinda expecting that To The Hellfire at number 1 ahahah

[@cxnnxr_99]

I loved the reveal for #1. No explanation needed 😂

[@ristyeye]

Very high in my list that i think went very under the radar this year is Albatross by Sentinels.

[@karl00l]

Ohhh man so many bangzz. Thanks for putting this together!

[@the_gpatch6933]

You get a thumbs up from me just from the last songs attempt alone lmao. Nice vid

[@5790cmc]

Valdet made me cry the first time I heard it lol

[@intentions2730]

Surroundings-diclonius has one of my favorite breakdowns

[@bigolepotato]

Leaving out Invent Animate - As If It Never Was invalidates this list

[@jacobmccarthy9480]

A Tear in the Fabric of Life set the bar

[@__stray__]

Lifeblood is my personal favorite.

[@thetoddmanout]

Good lawd that Røt song 🤯

[@griffinsnell7083]

i'm 17 breakdowns in they have all been bangers. the rest of this video is going to be great.. xD

[@GarrettJimmy]

I'm a really enthusiastic chemical metallurgists and I came across this. Had to quit my job after whiplash. How could you do this to me? 👌

[@TheeEndrew]

Dexcore - Self-hatred has a REALLY GOOD breakdown.

[@killersmentality911]

Such a great video. Well done my man.

[@markd.9422]

Have you ever checked out "Forgetting the Memories - The Solstice Rebirth"? THAT IS A GOOD BREAKDOWN 🤘

[@LeftBegind]

Dude you need to lisen "Distant - Oedipism". Breakdown is short, but absolutely sick

[@Benobot99]

Brand of Sacrifice - Foe of the Inhuman better be in here, as well as Ruin. 🙂🤘 Oh, and Death Worship by Mental Cruelty.

[@breakdownstv9284]

Banger🤘

[@angelabordack]

Love your picks! My fav tbh is Atlas 🤟

[@G6Tarantula]

“That’s right!”😂😂😂

[@ludoletono]

Frontierer entire Oxidize LP. If you know...

[@Ninjamanhammer]

Yeah, that was missing.

[@LeMichaelJordansPoleRiders]

Interesting list.The Amity Affliction - Death is all around breakdown kinda surprised me. Quite different IMO with those vibes in the background. Gotta check it out. Also that breakdown from dream thief by Phinehas is pretty rad

[@RallickNom]

That breakdown is the only exciting thing Amity has done in a decade 😅

[@jesseshexton7602]

Pain of Truth “blood on your hands” Gridiron “ain’t turned mine” Never Ending Game “anguish” Momentum “overkill” Out For Justice “locked n loaded” Get to know these.

[@NiniPoisson_83]

I don’t know why nobody’s talking about No one’s below-Abbie Falls? These guys are explosive!

[@jayjd1996]

Synthetic Veins by Sleep Waker sick ass song with a sick ass heavy ass break down also their album Alias is one of the best releases this year.

[@MidnightInferno04]

Breakdown doggo has my heart

[@nighttrain_nealy]

While I agree that the ETID record is great and the break down you chose is really good. I think little breakdown at the end of AWOL is nasty af!

[@tylersmall9052]

If only you had heard Dying to Watch by Saving VIce it would have made your list for sure but it only came out this past monday

[@hithere-haveagreatday7609]

if this was a Try Not To Headbang Challenge I would've lost at least 50 times.

[@LouGiordano]

Was Ice Nine Kills at Nine on purpose or was that a funny coincidence

[@boloyeungjr]

This video is “earth shattering”

[@John-yh7mr]

Made in Russia breakdown by Slaughter to Prevail is a hidden gem

[@ivanfranjuric5201]

You gotta check out "The Black Pill" album by RØT. One of the heaviest and most evil things I've heard.

[@Thystonius]

Seriously, you gotta see it as a huge compliment that you were going to be sued lol, BIRB awards ftw

[@petemetts5375]

Love the list just sad phinehas didn’t make it they had some bangers in there new album

[@darkenedvortexgames6737]

To be fair the breakdowns were probably the worst part of that album. The Fire Itself was actually my 3rd fav album of the year but most of the breakdowns sounded the same and were pretty generic. It was everything else about the album that made me love it lol

[@isomemory]

You forgot "Of the Abyss". :P

[@mylife1221]

i dont think anyone didn't see to the hellfire being #1 coming, as deserved as it is

[@wrwales]

The production value is better lol I actually agree. But you gotta slap Chris Rock.

[@LoIvory]

I lost my shit when you announced number 1 cause we all Knew what it was gonna be before the video started

[@tonykolas4402]

Hear me out okay…. Airplane peanuts

[@xXtattdpunkrockerXx]

ETID, Underoath, or Aviana.

[@beedon7042]

How do you not have The Lonely People by Void of Vision?

[@10HALLOWEEN31]

I mean who is surprised that Lorna Shore is number 1

[@0071slipknot]

Is anyone surprised that Lorna Shore was number 1?

[@nonoduh4213]

me the entire video "i'm sure i'll see lorna shore here" ^^

[@sdkmains]

Darko US

[@Embersword281]

look we all saw number 1 coming ahahaha

[@zachkallas202]

based on half or more of these songs, (my opinion), I'm actually asking, what is the appeal to the whiney style of vocals/screams? Is it because its supposed to convey more emotion? I personally don't like the style, which is why I get picky with some metalcore bands. But for real I'm curious

[@carterdeatherage8606]

We not gonna talk about Number 24?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@bizz610]

6 by Structures

[@thomasleerling]

I'm surprised that literally everyone picks the breakdown from lifeblood by brand of sacrifice over ruin

[@Savik90Zenit]

I’m not sure whether it is legit not to have anything from STP’s Kostlom in the top 5 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@umit1167]

Fr made in russia,bratva, bonebreaker and DEMOLISHER have harder breakdowns than some of the songs in the top 10
