Pro Metal Guitarist REACTS: Sonic Frontiers OST - Break Through It All (Wyvern)

[@SilverSpireZ]

Fun fact: Tomoya Ohtani, the lead composer of this game, used a nine-string for these tracks. He went so hard for this OST, and I’m all for it.

[@emis_doodls]

He's that guy fr

[@comradeautismo]

There is no track that goes that low, 9 strings are usually down in C# or B. I know my tunings and notes, I'm Here is in Drop E, where the rest are in Drop F; 8 string and 7 string tunings

[@OMR3333]

Wait, did he use the 9 strings for all the titan fights?? I thought he used it for "I'm here" only Man, that guy is sick XD

[@KanashimiMusic]

@@comradeautismo Excuse me, there's no way those are 7 string tunings.

[@comradeautismo]

@@KanashimiMusic Drop F is the border of 7 and 8 string tunings, Drop E is 8 string. Nobody goes lower than Double Drop D for 8 strings cuz of the need for a longer scale length. C# Standard is the normal tuning for 9 strings and requires a really long scale to properly sound good and playable.

[@FSAPOJake]

"Is this a guy on the vocals?" Yeah! It's Kellin fucking Quinn, of Sleeping with Sirens. How cool is that?

[@EnigmaSilhouette]

I was hoping someone would mention that in the comments of the livestream.

[@KainCarthyst]

"Her vocals are incredible" "Wait is this a dude?" -Literally everyone when the listen to Sleeping With Sirens for the first time

[@lf5538]

5:54 -> 5:57 transition was cleaaan, you're literally improving the song

[@HeliPotter2000]

Break Through It All is by far my top 1 favorite sonic song of 2022.

[@byxclu5525]

This is the video that got me into guitar. You were tuned so low that I thought it had to be a bass instead. So I got a bass and quickly realized my mistake when I was bored haha. Got a guitar about a month later and I've been playing for about 7 months now. Still going strong with big aspirations and it's all thanks to this video. That guitar inspired me and showed me my purpose in life, and that's to share my love of music with other people. Thanks man.

[@Barra180]

5:54 OH MY GOD THIS WAS PERFECT

[@KOTSOSMC2002]

Will never stop being baffling to me how after all these years people still go "Wait is that Sonic how is this Sonic?!?! No way this is from a Sonic game?!?!😱😱😱". Has no one listened to any Sonic soundtracks from 1998 up to 2010, this has almost always been Sonic, what do people expect to hear, Mario-like music?☠️ Regardless, you seem talented AF and were very entertaining, I'm subscribing for more.👊

[@benjamincounter931]

i agree but at the same time the only tracks sonic has that are actually this metal are the other titans theme and infinites theme, all the other tracks that dominated the 1998-2010 period were hard rock

[@Violet26PsyLoop]

Shadow the Hedgehog is hardcore but this is like a whole another level

[@amf3118]

Remember that the general public only know Sonic of the sega genesis era with his chiptune songs. The dark age of Sonic is not really well known, Let alone the soundtracks

[@kmpkingz8434]

@@benjamincounter931you never heard Shadow the Hedgehog’s soundtrack then because 75% of that game had this same type of metal music and that was in 2005

[@benjamincounter931]

@@kmpkingz8434 it was not heavy metal and did not have this much screaming I have very much listened to the sth soundtrack, the only vocal theme thats truly heavy metal is like almost dead. Shadow the hedgehog is mostly just metal/hard rock/alternative not heavy metal

6:40 - Man, I'm freaking out that *not a woman* sings all this! Amazingly high notes, it makes the songs even better

[@Arcticanine]

I love when people make additions to a song while reacting to it from their own understanding of it in REAL time.

[@russelltietjen4407]

I'm sure you've been told about this a million times by now, but the guy who sings this song, Find Your Flame and Undefeatable is Kellin Quinn from Sleeping With Sirens

[@Ponch126]

Fun fact! The singer for this song is actually lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens Kellin Quinn. He does this song, Undefeatable, and Find Your Flame

[@Kahlani34]

3:01 he played that so expertly and it was so crisp i wet my pants.

[@emis_doodls]

I absolutely adore this game's soundtrack, I love how diverse it is. From calm and melancholy piano to metal, from lofi to electronic music, I love everything about it. And you did an amazing job as always!

[@oksyahh]

6:56 i’m literally crying dude i love what you did there you’re so damn talented

[@jayceallen6530]

Literally my favorite titan, its song is honestly tied with undefeatable for me find your flame is really good too but doesnt hit as hard for me personally

[@sakuradabp6400]

Heeeey, you have that Courage picture from that Cartoon Network's online game

[@SuperSonicBlur]

Undefeatable is the better boss song for me but the better song to just listen to is Break Through It All. Both make for banger songs for the gym though!

[@Cr102y]

Same ngl

[@TopherCadence]

6:17 Wow. You literally made an already amazing song sound even more amazing 🥲

[@WindRegalia]

my thoughts exactly. literal goosebumps

[@FSAPOJake]

I can tell you've been playing for a super long time and have been practicing your ass off without ever letting up.

[@pramusetyakanca1552]

Sonic had some metal tracks for sure, but boy did they go all in for Frontiers. I've been listening to Break Through It All daily because of those screams and high notes. Like damn, Kellin's got _range!_

[@Ponch126]

Thing I like most about this song is probably that the main theme for the guitar is almost always there with the few chugging riffs. It’s really the drums and background harmonics that change the feel of the whole song

[@Sarah_McMenomy]

I can’t wait for him to hear Find Your Flame! Also, Break Through it All is FIRE!!!

[@ryuushinzo3559]

5:27 could not stop bopping to this. I dont care if im so sick that doing it makes me sneeze. Such awesome music is worth the dedication to enjoy lol.

[@magma_fire_bagwan]

I'm currently in the exact same spot, Spring allergies suck. However, yeah headbanging to this song is 100% worth it

[@faediangel2524]

Found your channel today! Didn't expect you to be able to mimic riffs like this instantly, that takes so much skill and experience and you have all my respect dude! 🤘 you're very talented and i'm def gonna look out for when you go live!

[@Kingclaws]

Glad this theme was played in my birthday on the stream, sonic frontiers soundtrack fucking shreds

[@lightray9264]

This is my new favroite Sonic song. Everything, every little ounce of this track makes me so hyped.

[@shadedx320]

BRO IS BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER BANGER!!! KEEP IT UP!!! Looking forward to Find Your Flame now!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@samwilkinson9309]

Been loving listening to this new sonic OST, been listening to a lot of that, Metal Hellsinger OST and Arknights OST lately, video game music really kicked it up a notch lately, there are older bangers but a lot more games making great standalone songs these past few years

[@SliCooper]

I am glad you were in my recomended, and that Guitar Solo was an amazing touch. It actually made the song ever more amazing

[@Established2768]

Really happy this song is getting some attention cause normally Find Your Flame and Undefeatable are more recognized.

[@damienalvarez2957]

Tomoya Ohtani outdid himself with this soundtrack. A top 3 among Sonic soundtracks. Even my friends who aren’t as into Sonic say this song is fucking badass.

[@thatonecaster6501]

The guy who sung the vocals is from a band called sleeping sirens I think

[@Drive_Thru_Guru]

You are fucking impressive dude. Your improv and experience is astonishing, I loved reacting simultaneously to little tidbits lol. Rock on brother!!

Thank you for doing another one man. The first Sonic video is the reason why I subscribed

man i was so impressed when you noticed the guitar riffs went low and changed up accordingly at 6:00. and you got the sound and everything down! really good stuff here!

you earned a sub man i dont even play guitar but i want to be able to play so bad i aspire to do shit like this. this is my favorite track on the ost too this made me so happy

[@damionval]

It's totally forgivable to mistake Kellin Quinn as a female because his falsetto is so damn high, but yeah. That's a dude. Lead vocalist of Sleeping With Sirens!

[@thefudgway]

I love watching peoples reactions to Sonic OST’s, because they’ve been doing this type of stuff for years, and people think that Sonic music is similar to Mario-like music. But nah, Sonic is on ANOTHER LEVEL.

[@caity_strophic]

sonic music OST's where one of the first things that actually got me into sonic

[@thefudgway]

@@caity_strophic Me too! The opening/cgi cutscenes are definitely some of my favourite things to see because they just so cool, especially because they are animated by Marza which makes some epic stuff. I’ve always loved the Sonic OST’s even when I was younger, but I only got into the fandom a few years back, I’m definitely glad I joined it it!

[@caity_strophic]

@@thefudgway hell yeah!! I actually had a break shortly after 2017, mainly cuz the fandom wasnt as active... i did watch the movie in 2020 but it wasnt until 2022 when sonic 2 was released that i revisted sonic and man i forgot how much i loved sonic

[@caity_strophic]

My dad actually played sonic games growing up in the early 90’s... but he isnt as familiar with the modern version (‘98- onwards) as i am

[@thefudgway]

@@caity_strophic I can definitely relate to that, most of my family has played a few sonic games, but only the ones from the early 90s where they didn’t have the rock music from 98 and on. They are always surprised when they hear me listening to something, and they ask what it is and I tell them it’s Sonic!

One thing i love about people who have never heard any sonic music ever (including me sonic frontiers really did that to me anyways) then they hear their first ever sonic song and its just metal and rock the first thing they always say is "This is sonic?!" Cuz that was like my first reaction on a video name music video i saw the chat same exact response like bro sonic being metal is crazy to me

[@rotolotto]

The WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND AGAIN bridge section is so fucking perfect

[@sometf2player752]

i dont really know why people are so surprised that this is a sonic song because sonic has had alot of tracks like this before although these people probably only heard green hill zone and called it a day

[@smithydavis1033]

It's probably because it's metal not hard rock

[@NoSmoke1]

Sonic only had a few metal songs before, but these are way heavier than their normal songs

Sonic frontiers isn’t a mobile game. It’s a console game. Other than that, I agree. It’s an amazing sound track, and yeah, sonic isn’t a stranger to rock/metal music.

I'm honestly still wandering how tf did god of war end up winning the best music award

[@cristianovogt5586]

Simple, Sony fanboism and Sonic baias.

[@Frosty_Jockey]

I mean they're two different games, so how the music is perceived is a bit different. If I had to guess: Sonic's music tends to lean towards simply "amazing music" without adding too much to the story itself, while Ragnarok's music pairs with what's happening, trying to tell a story in tandem with what you see on screen, subtly intensifying some emotions during certain scenes and selling the importance of certain details. It's a hypothesis, though, so take it however you want

[@KingKabisi]

It had a better "score", sonic frontiers has amazing music but how each song ties together as a complete soundtrack with motifs and characters themes isn't as good as good of war or any of the other nominees. I'm sure if there was a subcategory for best individual music track Sonic frontiers would've won
