I read somewhere that this song was actually made before covid. Oli read something about a virus in Japan that inspired the song. They Just happened to release it at the beginning of covid. I think I also read that they almost didn't release it.
They started it before covid and finished it in lockdown. Initially "when we forget the infection will we remember the lesson" was "if we survive the infection..." but they realised how many people were actually dying and thought it would be insensitive and changed it. They thought the world needed to hear parasite eve as like a coping mechanism or something.
Bmth start out as a MySpace era deathcore band. Then they shift to metalcore. They then shifted closer to radio rock and pop. This last installment they brought everything together as a truly eclectic band that can go from trace to pop to metal
This song was written about the game Parasite Eve, and while the band was working on it, they kept seeing news about the beginnings of Covid and kept going 'omg Parasite Eve!', so it eventually became about covid. This track is from the same album as Kingslayer.
I also loved Parasite Eve franchise, fun fact, parasite Eve is based off a movie from Japan with the same premise. It was about advanced mitochondrial evolution, (the power plant of human cells) and how it basically became self aware and saw lesser humanity as a threat and proceeded to try and exterminate us.
The intro is a Bulgarian choir sample. Bmth has some great song always different depending on the era. Hospital for souls, suicide season, death beds, written in blood, aligator blood, chelsea smile
Songfacts®: "Parasite Eve" originated in 2019 when frontman Oli Sykes read an article about a Japanese superbug that had become heat resistant because of climate change. Borrowing the title from a late 1990s action role-playing video game, he came up with the idea for a horror song about a deadly virus.
Generally speaking, metalcore tends to be harsh vocals and heavy riffs in the verses and then it becomes more melodic and “catchy” in the choruses. That’s a very basic view though. Difference between death core and metal core is pretty much the intensity of the music. Death core vocals are extreme, think of WhiteChapel being death core and bullet for my valentine being metal core. And there’s plenty more in between.
@@unknowngaming1432 I don’t know if I’d say hardcore is in all metalcore tbh, although it’s possibly where the name comes from. Certainly the likes of AILY you can see the hard core influences and early Trivium for that matter. But there’s also a lot of metalcore bands that aren’t as aggressive with their vocals or playing. There’s always grey areas within genres too of course. It’s like when people get confused between groove metal and thrash metal. There’s many differences, but also many similarities.
@@kingmichael5446 well I always heard it as the vocals were an indicator as Heavy Metal had melodic vocals and Hardcore provides the breakdowns and lows. Deathcore was that but mostly took out clean vocals and amped up the aggressiveness. But genres change over time to fit what works and what people like. Edit: Wikipedia says its "Metallic Hardcore" as it was a mix of Hardcore Punk and Thrash Metal.
Hardcore originally branched out from the punk genre in the 70s~80s, while Metal was experiencing a similar evolution with Thrash. In the 90s a lot of metal bands started drawing inspiration from hardcore punk, and punk bands started drawing inspiration from metal genres like Thrash. By the late 90s and early 2000s, Metalcore become a genre, with elements of both genres. Hardcore typically had breakdowns/drops after a bridge to launch into the chorus a last time.
BMTH is an amazing band, that is more of an experience than a band... This was about the video game, but the timing was scary... Check Happy Song live from the Royal Albert Hall.
The title/lyric comes from a really old Sega video game called “Parasite Eve”, and the song was started before COVID, but shortly after they began writing it, the news broke, lock downs made things stand still, misinformation and general distrust… and, well, the direction of the song sort of integrated what real life started looking like, and was released in June of 2020 (not last year in 2021). The original inspiration was a news article on a super bug/infection that was found in Japan that was killing off the bees. Another song with a video game connection (Resident Evil) and is just an overall hit (from the same album this one is on also) is Dear Diary.
Not a huge BMTH fan but i love this song, it's not the first time they've taken inspiration from video games and i love how they've taken that disturbed infected feeling from the game into this.
More BMTH. Do it all. They, like Tool, define their own genre. Their musical journey from angry core kids to amazing levels of creativity is quite the trip
bmth has done so many different genres. started off as a deathcore band which if you don’t know it’s all extreme vocals and it’s very heavy compared to metalcore which has a lot of clean vocals. the two biggest deathcore bands are probably Suicide Silence and Whitechapel. but even whitechapel has clean vocals in their music now but they are still deathcore. bmth has gone from deathcore to metalcore to a pop rock type band and they have really brought all of it together recently. i recommend reacting to Whitechapel - When A Demon Defiles a Witch and Hickory Creek
BMTH is amazing. You need to react to their music videos. They are like movies so you're missing out. Ludens is one of my favorites and it is also fomr a video game, so you really must see the video! I've been listening to a lot of BMTH recently so I could make a big list.
Metalcore was originally the cross of hardcore punk and metal by adding more distortion and metal riffs with the guitar work to hardcore punk vocals and short songs. Metalcore later(early to mid 2000s)became like melodic death metal(think death metal mixed with Iron Maiden)with a hardcore punk style vocal and sometimes alternated with emo style clean vocals. Deathcore is more brutal, basically death metal that incorporates breakdowns from hardcore punk.
Took me a sec to realize when you said "Doomed" it was the BMTH song and not a "Doom (Eternal)" track by Mick Gordon who co-produced much of BMTH's Post Human: Survival Horror album. If you haven't had experience with it "The Only Thing They Fear is You" and/or "BFG Division" are iconic.
More BMTH to check out: Throne Shadow Moses Sleepwalking Happy Song Ludens Drown Chelsea Smile Mantra Can You Feel My Heart House of Wolves Many Many bangers to choose from spanning several genres, but always with that BMTH sound.
More music VIDEOS (trust me when I say you want to watch the videos, even if you end up doing a reaction to a lyric video to avoid copyright claims) by them to add to your backlog: Shadow Moses Can you Feel My Heart Ludens Die4U Obey (ft YungBlud) Throne
Bring me the horizon is pretty much there own genre but started as deathcore and one of the best to do that genre so i think you have to listen to pray for plagues
Metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, slow, intense passages conducive to moshing. Other defining instrumental qualities include heavy riffs and stop-start rhythm guitar playing, occasional blast beats, and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically yell or scream. Some metalcore bands combine this with clean singing, often during the chorus. Deathcore combines death metal with metalcore.
Metalcore is basically screaming the verses but melodic singing for the chorus. Still a lot of double bass and guitar solos, keeping it in the metal sub genre.
Can you please react to a great band from Finland, Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios). They are a melodic death metal band which I think you will like.
loved the reaction dudes metalcore is basically just hardcore punk stuff like earth crisis/terror/etc combined with melodic death metal riffs. early popular instances of metalcore would be stuff like early killswitch engage, trivium, etc. the Tl;DR is just classic melodic death metal with punk/hardcore breakdowns. Modern metalcore is a bit of an issue to describe because the genre takes influence from so many random ass things but if you want a general idea of modern metalcore, architects and spiritbox are good semi-mainstream places to look into!
Hardcore is short for hardcore punk, it's closer to metal but it's still punk. Metalcore is a cross between hardcore punk and metal, and often has breakdowns, drops, and other passages that are slower paced for moshing. Deathcore is like metalcore but death metal.
metalcore goes back to 1991 with a band called intgretity maruader zao then hatebreed 1994 killswitch engage trivium lamb of God bullet for my valentine bring me the horizon was originally a mix of thrash metal melodic death metal and hardcore with political and violent lyrics then later with lyrics about failing relationship,s and sexual harrasement type lyrics
Just found y'all's channel, was searching for BMTH reactions. May I suggest the Ed Sheeran x BMTH Bad Habits performance from the BRIT Awards a few days ago. It's AMAZING
More BMTH please!!!! TOOL is my favorite band but BMTH is def in my top 5! Same with Deftones! This whole Survival Horror album is fire!!!! Do King Slayer feat Baby Metal next!
🦋Yea This Song Is Definitely an Amazing Song. I Have A lot I Could Say On The Subject. I'll Just Say It's Been A Roller-coaster Of A Ride. You Think Oh Yea, Cases Are Lowering, A Vaccine Is Out ''We Good''. Oh Wait, 5 Seconds Passed And We Back In This Mess With A New Strain. Fighting A Silent Invisible Killer Is Like Fighting The Air. Alone By Yourself Because No Person Can Save You But Yourself. And We Keep Going With Hope & Faith That It Will Just Go Away As Fast As It Arrived. It's Like a Irritating Guest That Just Won't Leave Your Front Yard & You Never Invited Them In The First Place. Great Reaction Guys!
Legit this one is perfect for you guys. Music fan music. The video is also WILD. Check it out! Also... MORE BMTH Anything from Sempiternal Album would be awesome, but specifically Sleepwalking
I know you guys love BMTH. pls kinda checkout their new collaboration song with Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine, its called "Let's Get The Party Started". banger song. 😁
I know its probably been said by now... All parallels to the pandemic id purely coincidence. Ther already had the song and video made when it started. Even considered not releasing
Metalcore is more structured and tries to sound more metal. Deathcore is meant to be over the top obnoxious with its breakdowns and meaningless direction. Basically it’s a bastardized version of the hardcore genre.

Well, he is also known to say that he would spend his last day on this earth playing through Parasite Eve, so it's deffo inspired by that.

Yes, Oli loves his playstation games this title is inspired by the game, and Dear Diary is also inspired by a video game
More BMTH. Do it all. They, like Tool, define their own genre. Their musical journey from angry core kids to amazing levels of creativity is quite the trip
They definitely should.
Parasite Eve is a game I would absolutely love to see remastered for modern consoles, would intensify the horror a million fold and be phenomenal

Just to add, if you are doing Hickory Creek. Make sure to react to the Acoustic version. Will blow your mind.
BMTH is amazing. You need to react to their music videos. They are like movies so you're missing out.

My favorite song by BMTH - The Comedown... SUCH A BANGER AND ITS A CLASSIC!
Metalcore is basically screaming the verses but melodic singing for the chorus. Still a lot of double bass and guitar solos, keeping it in the metal sub genre.
In which video did you react to Kingslayer? I somehow can't find it on your channel, no matter what I type in.
Parasite Eve was my absolute favorite game back in the day 🔥🔥🔥
Don’t forget about Dino Crisis also
You two should see Stevie Ray Vaughan, Texas Flood, Live in El Mocambo. It's freaking phenomenal.
