      Genuinely that is one of my favorite riffs of all time. That riff, 40 seconds into Conditional Healing from Fit for an autopsy, 3:19 into Castrophize from Humanity’s last breath, and the verse riff from The Art of dying from Gojira.

      Oh man that riff is just absurd. I finally learned it on guitar this week and I've been loving playing it. Its Such a groovy riff with different higher notes and vibrato that make the heavy open chugs hit that much harder . That open chug makes me pull a stank face every time lol

    Dude, I have been borderline obsessed with this record ever since it came out and a huge reason for that is Alex's vocal performance.
    If you could manage to get him on the channel and do one of these "Reacting to the song with the vocalist himself"-type for him to explain some of the stuff he does and how he approaches his vocals it would be a dream come.

    Nadir is my go to album to not treat people around me badly when I'm really angry. Works at work and at home. I'm a very relaxed and chill dude and don't want to misbehave. So when I get angry I withdraw and listen to Nadir. This triggers my deep aggression and anger so much that I'm able to cool down very fast. It's not often that I have to rely on this but I'm glad it's such a good way to treat myself. I'm thankful for this masterpiece.

  • @alecbernal3824
    @alecbernal3824 8 месяцев назад +1

    I'm 40 and I love that Black Tongue newly entered my top 3 (and I generally hate deathcore). There's something so much deeper and more fulfilling in this album than the general "I'm a toughguy" message of most metal records. I love that this album "crashed in" to my favorites. My late uncle listened to GNR until he died and described his musical tastes as in a "time warp." That sounded terrifying to me.

    • @KardavoxAcademy
      @KardavoxAcademy  8 месяцев назад +1

      This album definitely hits deep, I agree there. It's also true that it can be very easy for all of us to get stuck in what we are familiar with and have always enjoyed. It takes effort to broaden one's horizons, and also - who even has the time anymore? Haha!

    I'm so in love with Nadir that I have been working on a custom D&D themed campaign based off of their lyrics. I am no where close to calling it complete, but I was able to DM some sessions with my players and watching them interact with the world that I was able to put together thanks to Black Tongue was such an experience. Alex's vocals absolutely punch on Nadir. By far my biggest vocal influence and is easily my most practiced tone. There's not a single song that I can stomach skipping over. I am desperate for another album, though.
