DOPE picks!

[@bogdanhxc]

Thanks man! :)

[@alexcuevas5627]

Hi!!!! See You i'n your videos :3

[@tomsmith8916]

Hello Nik. Big fan of your work

[@Sinxytlol3]

@@bogdanhxc add Jerry was a race car driver breakdown it's so heavy

[@Rusty186]

Hope your doing good nik.

[@kionicxnm]

the transition from pulling teeth to To the Hellfire was amazing

[@owenpenczak8459]

That was my favorite one as well so clean and unexpected

[@dougmitchell20]

Yeah that was brutal

[@TankTheTech]

Bogdan, you crush these videos, dude. So many people try to make these challenges but yours always have top notch production, edits, audio... The shabangabang!

[@bogdanhxc]

Thank you man! I really appreciate it. Wanna take a stab at this challenge? haha

[@BangYourRadio]

Slaughter To Prevail, Orbit Culture, Imminence and Fit For An Autopsy would have been great additions

[@MrDjmcconnell]

Waiting on your reaction vid for 2021!

Spoiled fans: "metalcore is getting softer" Metalcore this year:

[@NotTheRealRopi]

I haven´t even watched the video and I already lost. Edit: The transition at 7:10 was fucking brutal

[@RiggedFem]

imo that song is so overrated that I can't stand it, the song immediately after it 6 was hard as hell for me

[@zoardkozelka8713]

@@RiggedFem He was talking about the transition...

[@JacksonThornhill]

@@RiggedFem I agree,I really liked it when it came out but now I’ve just heard it way too much,also yeah 6 might also be my favorite breakdown of the year.

[@kionicxnm]

@@JacksonThornhill my favorite breakdown of the year is probably lifeblood by brand of sacrifice

[@JacksonThornhill]

@@kionicxnm lifeblood also has a great breakdown I actually like it more than demon king.

[@Coolmark123]

That was hella hard and now I’m gonna reward myself by listening to all the dope songs I didn’t know from that playlist

[@the_adc]

wow coolmark didnt know you listened to metal. was a big fan during my childhood and still am. Hope you are doing well

[@Glintingbeetle]

[@donthaveabreakdown5608]

Damn that transition from Pulling Teeth to To The Hellfire :0

[@radamtv4779]

Starting a "Try Not To Headbang Challenge" with Bleed From Within should be illegal lol😂

[@OHgreensguy]

That was without a doubt the best one. Open note breakdowns don't get it done. Riffs with a groove make it a true challenge

[@trifosfatodeadenosinaatp4591]

I was able to pass the challenge, but I lost a part of me in the process. Now it's time to watch it again and headbang from start to finish so I can get it back ;)

[@testingmyaudioaddiction3452]

You should do a try not to sing along version of this with catchy choruses. Good examples would be In the night by Phinehas, The Blade by Sion

[@k_haulin]

thats actually a good idea

[@bruh2876]

in the night would be impossible

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Crown The Empire - In Another Life or Ice Nine Kills - Funeral Derangements

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

And pretty much any song from the new Rise Against album.

[@gabmozes7858]

@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 i feel like trying not to sing to Assault & Batteries would be much harder than trying not to sing to Funeral Derangements

[@quentinbringthenumetalchil5125]

0:34 That transition was so good!

[@btburke17]

Some good clips here but I actually found 2020’s more difficult. There was more I had not heard of here which probably made it not aschallenging. But I did find new music so I appreciate that! Good work brother!

[@CapnRiggs2k5]

Man last year's was soooo difficult! But this year?? Arguably the best year we've had in metal in quite some time? Might be damn near impossible. Can't wait to try this while physically enduring pain by doing nothing

[@lucasthomas4224]

These are always fun and cool, and this video was put together really well. Thank you Mister Hard Core man

[@dredyrey]

most of the songs feel like they are THE one song, you made an amazing work, the synchronization is amazing. I guess I ll have check more of your vids

[@alexJG_Shorts]

You're so evil for putting 6 at the end LOL Great list! Thanks for an amazing year of content, Hard Core!

[@shiningsun4023]

Stonefaced the whole thing my man. Lost in a wave might have gotten me if it was in there :P 2021 was a blessed year for metal. Amazing tracks, albums and EPs came out that were beyond all expectations. Really hope i can see my favorite from this year live, already got the ticket for LANDMVRKS and i hope to god it works out somehow. Have a blessed rest of the year, always keep that chin up and do you my man, thanks for all the contenct and showing me bands i never heared before! Greetings from Germany!

[@tyleratwhatcost]

i believe lost in a wave came out in 2020 that’s why it’s not here? but obviously correct me if I’m wrong

[@sabufan123456]

Lost in a wave was in his 2020’s challenge. It’s a no brainer it would be in any try not to headbang challenge if they know good music !

[@bvanquish777]

The album came out March 19.

[@taylorhooper2154]

Curse you my guy!!! I had no idea when I clicked this, I had already watched someone do a reaction challenge. and I lost watching them.... yepp these songs are so perfectly put together... it was an 8 min straight neck breaking action!!! And I watched it twice in a row!! Great job bro!!

[@nightwingx0126]

Bro I was not ready for Convictions to roll up like that. Also that OM&M transition to Lorna Shore was ridiculous. This is an insane video

[@ItzMild]

Hey man, you really made me suffer on this one. Probably the hardest try not to headbang challenge I have seen/listened to. I broke at Funeral Derangements, straight HEAT! thanks for a great 2021

[@rowanplaysbass]

This video is making me realize how many BANGERS I missed this year Jesus.

[@p4rr0t15]

I'm excited, but I'm also scared 💀

[@doomslayer8431]

Been waiting for this 🔥

[@a1ansxe]

That bounce groove in “where the light divides the holler” in an instant lose for me.

[@elis4085]

I’ve been waiting so long for this, and it was everything I hoped it would be

[@YeShi187]

The transitions became smoother, Bogdan, and I love that. I appreciate that Bogdan 2017 evolved to this version of Bogdan (and yeah, problems of the future Bogdan are not the problems of the present Bogdan, ehehehe). Aaaand I went through the challenge without any problems. Bloody love ya, man. Happy Holidays, everyone!

[@alareth_9613]

I'm stunned that I passed this year! Great work on the edits and transitions!

[@jackdevitt6338]

The pulling teeth into the into the hellfire transition nearly damn well murdered me.

[@Beejaroni]

Not even a fair list. I was done in 30 seconds 😆. Just found your channel and have leaned of so many new bands! Keep up the great work man!

[@jamestyler5497]

been waiting for you to drop this!

[@MrOGhippo]

“No foot tapping”. Damn, I thought I found a loophole. BFMV got me

[@jakubskorupa5671]

Dude the transition between Pulling teeth and To the hellfire just blew me away.

[@imquokkacola]

This is gonna be so good 🔥

[@k.shopenhauer6070]

The part of the 2021 that I was looking forward to, thanks mate 🤟🤟🤟

[@frontrowvideos3663]

Genuinely the first one that actually caused me pain, this is so hard, smashed it 🔥

[@brandonking4160]

Man great job!! Don Broco catches me off guard every damn time. That's one of the toughest breakdowns in this video, from probably the most eclectic band. On another note - "Remnant" from Erra. I'm a bit surprised to see that rather than the "House of Glass" breakdown, or literally anything from "Scorpion Hymn." Excellent video regardless. I lost as soon as I hit play.

[@jacobscanlon9311]

I thought I kept up with 2021 but damn there are still tracks I missed, what a year 🤘🏼

[@brandonspears6996]

I am not ashamed to admit I lost. I can't help but headbang to these awesome bangers

[@funghoulms7389]

great production!

[@ACanadianDoge]

Dayum that was a close one. Some tracks i forgot of. Great edit as always

[@emilxalitor4097]

Bogdan, I failed twice lol, on Landmvrks and Whitechapel:) Thank you for wrapping up this year with, again, the best “try not to headbang” challenge! Love from US from a Russian guy👋

[@jeffprovo7604]

It's actually pretty damn easy to not headbang to stuff with weird time signatures if you've never heard them before. This challenge increases in difficulty the more times you watch it.

[@joerahme9030]

Most of the time the cymbal hits are consistent though so I always find myself headbanging to that

[@obenohnebohne]

In 2021 I discovered all the bands or songs from your 2020 challenge. Now I have a full year to do this with the songs/bands from 2021. Thank you. See you in 2022.

[@howie8599]

Awesome as always!!

[@desertionsouthbay]

Thank you for the love friend. It’s an honor to be included alongside these amazing artists 🙏🏼♥️

[@bogdanhxc]

You're welcome friends! :)

[@andreasvandieaarde]

I swear I got goosebumps from every single song on here this was a damn challenge

[@williamsummerson1204]

Great job homie as always. This one was very difficult but I did pass barely, lorna shore almost broke me.

[@dancox4533]

Failed at Bleed from Within 😂 that riff is an absolute banger 🤘🏼

[@joriskraal4632]

Barely passed due to Pulling Teeth with a smooth transition to To the hellfire. Tbh i expected it to be a lot harder cuz there are so many songs that i have banged my brains out to and i haven't seen them. Missed Orbit Culture and Brand of Sacrifice, can't sit still listening to those.

[@capitainemartinezjesusadan6008]

The best gift from Christmas

[@baseballtigar]

The price of grace is such a deep song as well as heavy. Great addition

[@JameZED.mp4]

Me: This "Try Not To Headbang" is too eas--- . *YOU DESERVE TO SURVIVE!* . Me: _broken neck intensifies._

[@BanjiReacts]

Good list my dude. the slappage is unreal!

[@chrisgoffinjr]

I just survived. Absolute painful to not headbang to even one of these tracks! Great set of tracks! This is a wonderful video. Cheers!

[@descendng]

you sneaky bastard, putting Thrown in there last minute :) I almost lost at a few points but somehow managed. I am in agony. big respect my dude

[@justincampbell7502]

That transition with the 2 breakdowns before the last one was very clever 😂

[@francoo364]

Surprised there's no Impermanence breakdown, such a smack, also no STP and Beartooth, well thats just made it easier for me to pass

[@AshToneAudio]

Consider copyright issues the channel wants to avoid. Beartooth is known for it

[@konkey-dong]

I think Baba Yaga probably wasn't included as it would make the challenge impossible

[@michaelthomas8292]

Opens with Bleed from Within - Think I lasted 0.000001 seconds. Fair play sir, Fair Play!

[@BrootallyHonest]

I'm gonna have to keep coming back to this video for content on the channel. A lot of stuff I hadn't heard.

[@landonsillyman3996]

This was super tough, I’m surprised I made it through, what a lineup of sick riffs and gnarley breakdowns

[@tokaji9092]

First of all...Nice video editing and nice choice of tracks. Second I passed, but it was even harder then the 2020 edition. Spiritbox,Wage War, Whitechapel are the ones, that nearly got me....Thanks for the challenge...

[@meaninglessvalue7778]

Clip of massive pepper spray to the face always lightens my mood 🤣🤣👌

[@froilanjasareno2532]

The transition from 1:13 to 1:17 is totally 🔥

[@jakefrommillerfarm529]

These transitions are superb!

[@apollolinaire2607]

Damn you hitting me with These Black Claws almost right away?

[@meme-on8ty]

I'm surprised Jerry was a race car was not on here the break down is fucking awesome

[@Sinxytlol3]

I agree

[@carlcameron5055]

Barely made it but I did, somehow. Better luck next year. On a real note though that was sick, can't wait to see more man.

[@owenpenczak8459]

Jeez that was the most painful without actually being painful thing I’ve done. The Pulling Teeth to To the Hellfire was one of the best transitions I’ve ever heard and this was so much harder than any other try not to headband I’ve ever viewed this was amazing

[@Djentalman]

I'm so glad 'Say no Word' was in here. I feel like that song hasn't gotten enough love off of the new Landmvrks album. Definitely my favorite song on the album no doubt.

[@Adamagusti10]

" Did u pass? " what kind of question is that . yow bruh i'm Dying , oh god this is so ffffing good man !!! :'))))) thank u and can't wait to try not to headbang challenge l 2022 edition lol

[@saintniskoVOD]

Thanks for the updated challenge. Although I must admit, this one seemed too easy compared to previous one. On the other hand, I now have several new names in my to-listen list))

[@ZackAttack1798]

These are 100% the best “Try Not to Headbang” videos. Always killer breakdowns. Great job man. I lost.

[@braydenkp1026]

I was somehow keeping it together until Yellow Jacket. The point at which you put the song and the way it kicked in was too good.

[@bimobagus21]

love the transition from pulling teeth to hellfire🔥🔥

[@yanaybolbachan]

2021 was one of the best years so far for metal

[@thefalseawakeningassociati227]

Literally only listen to 1 of these bands, know 3 out of all of them, thx for all the new music I really needed more stuff to listen to😊

[@DeanTheGuillotine]

Dang, lost at Knocked Loose's "Where light divides a holler"

[@whereyoufindus]

Lost at oblivion.. that breakdown is huge

[@Eckx1084]

I damn near lost on the very first song. Well done. I am so glad I stumbled across this channel, it has opened me up to a lot of bands I didn't know.

[@madness_coree_]

AAAAAA the best year to the metaaaaaaaaaaalcore

[@heyitsryry]

It was okay! I will say though, some parts of a song such as the chorus or even a verse can induce some windmills better than just the breakdowns. The chorus of Yellowjacket by Spiritbox gets me every time.

[@hunterreed9049]

Same

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

no ETID no like you've been a bad boy this year bogdan

as much as i enjoyed it, the copyright on this video must have been SUPER HIGH. everybody should take their time to think about how creaters such as bogdan struggle with copyright. everybody should help support bogdan. other than that, keep up the good work bogdan, it was too hard to survive the video!

Eh, I made peace with the fact that KZbin is always claimed and someone else makes money off of it. I am very lucky to have an amazing Patreon community that helps me with the channel in ways I could never imagine. But monetary support is not the only one I'm looking for, reading comments like yours is worth a lot more than $$, so thank you!
