That’s exactly why I’m still listening to Metal but distancing from the scene 😂 So many Elitists who think only their Technical Progressive Blackened Death Metal is the Trve shit
Btw, I am almost certain that isn't snow, that's ash: the "planet is burning", "taste the ash, taste the dust" etc. As I understand, it's an amazing song about some of humanities deepest problems, e.g. climate breakdown (since it makes e.g. wildfires worse -> ash), challenging all of us to step up & fight back, "because time's running out", to go to the roots of the problem ("You’ve gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds") and to challenge those in power ("‘Where were you when the Gods clipped the wings of the Phoenix?’"; "When will we wrestle the world from the fools and their gold And their fucking covenant?"). Anyway, What. A. Song. "Will enough be enough when we’re holding on for dear life?"
I'm a fairly new Architects fan, got hooked on Royal Beggars in November last year, and I think I just threw my neck out headbanging to this song, it's my absolutely favourite rn. Holy shit I love this band, it's like, just fits that perfect hole that I have always searched for.
That wasn’t snow... it was ash & dust😳 Also that last chorus & breakdown was great progression. It didn’t stay stale, there was a different sound to each one. Well done bois
Can I just tell you Nik, I'm not a serious metalhead, mostly only listen to the very popular ones (that everyone else listen to too). Your reaction videos introduce me to the world of modern metal, and I'm grateful for it, thanks man.
I never really heard architects before. After hearing this I was disappointed. What album would everyone recommend I listen to as the quintessential album.
Better than animals for sure. Definitely going to be a solid record but I don’t think it’s going to be better than either holy hell or all our gods have abandoned us. Maybe it will grow on me over time.
They heard you wanted a bit longer and harder breakdown and they provided! Looking forward to this album. I'm so glad you introduced them to me. If you ever wanted to know, you have helped me find a couple of bands I would never have heard of or noticed without your reactions/breakdowns. Appreciate it so much.
I definitely enjoyed this track a lot more then animals. animals was a little bland for me, this hit the nail on the head for there new sound and did not stray too far away from there signature sound. Animals personally strayed a bit to far for me.
In terms of Animals, it definitely was not "top notch" Architects. It was great, don't get me wrong. But it definitely suffered at the hands of it being a little too, dare I say, simple. And by that, I mean that I can listen to the song and forget I'm listening to it. Whereas most of their other songs draw me in, and I feel like I have completed the song and really *experienced* it.
Both songs are really bland in my opinion. I feel like I've heard a thousand metalcore songs just like these two. The riffs and chord progressions were extremely generic.
@@IscariottActual It's textbook metalcore my dude, lol. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Some of my favorite bands are metalcore. This song is just really bland to me.
I kinda like it, probably because I'm too attached to this type of vibe. Like that Sempiternal/BMTH vibe, it's heavy but has ambience and also is sad, dramatic, has a nice breakdown, is safe but angry enough. I'll listen to them a lot more!
This song was always recommended in my RUclips feed. I finally said ok, why not react with ya. Came in strong and I regretted not watching it earlier. Great vid dude! Thanks
@@DAKOTAasmr yeah, I mean I get it maybe it’s better for business and all but it’s disappointing, Novelists did the same thing as well somewhat with their latest single that one really hurt, best of luck to all of them never any hate
Came to the original music video because I know I'll see you there somewhere... I literally saw your comment first and then upnext is this... All I wanna say right now is... YES!
*I like this band*

Wait.. you're canadian?
Is there anything better than hearing an Architects breakdown for the first time?
NOOOO
Sex don't even come close
Hearing it the second time xd
Hearing a good architects breakdown. That shit was ass
Yes hearing a while she sleeps one
Nobody expects:
a) The Spanish Inquisition
b) The Second Breakdown of the song
c) All of the Above

God damnit
"Oh... they deaded."
- Nik Nocturnal 2020
I deaded when he said that xD
So glad I am not the only one that caught that line
I literally came across the comment once he said that💀💀
Please Nik react to Stain The Canvas : Like a God And Hell Made Me . UP PLEASE!!!!!!!! FOR HIM SEE THIS
Nic's reactions to pre-breakdowns being like a little kid arriving at Disneyland will always be an amusement to me.
seeing Nik go full caveman when hearing a breakdown is never gonna get old
Ye... even when the breakdown is fucking shit... Sounds almost like the "animal" breakdown.. Architects are some damn pop band now
@@ZeusTheMatti Tastes vary, so. No need to talk like that :o
@@ZeusTheMatti pop band...right. With drop tuned guitars and fry screams. Get your head outta your ass elitist

seriously, someone should make a compilation.
The first time I listened to a new song before nik
Advantages of living in Europe: listening to European bands' songs while people in Americas are asleep.
Same as you dude
Same here 👋
Same
Definitely the best Architects yet.
So fucking catchy.

I literally wanted to throw my phone.
I heard the song earlier but for fucks sake, we DO NOT INTERRUPT BREAKDOWNS.

@SonoriaBR definitely he did. The vid is over 10 mins meaning he had the option to put a mid-roll ad wherever he wanted
@SonoriaBR he didn't choose to put the ad there some of us just didn't get an ad
3:53 Nik turns into my African brudda
LOL
I almost couldnt breathe 😂
BRUHHH 😂😂😂💀
Lmaoo
HAHAHAAH
"How are they gonna end this?"
*stops*
"oh. :/ "
*2nd breakdown*
"AUAUHHH, WHAT"
Seriously loved that fake out!!!! 😆 got me good
“Oh.... oh they dedded”
That's how I reacted lmao😂😂😂

plus the fact its called black lung.

Note to self: Don't try to smoke while Nik makes comments like ''Ow they Deaded'' My ass Nearly choked to death hahaha.
laughing while taking a bong hit fucking sucks man xD
@@Trollensky Agreed
@@Trollensky I feel you brother haha.
Thats why i like edibles, less choking
how about don't smoke
Spiritbox and captives both have songs dropping Friday. It’d be awesome to hear you react to Captives!
Spiritbox? Can't wait
I know it’s a different genre but hollywood undead also dropping an album on Friday :)
Captives yes! Can't wait for that, spirtbox, hollywood undead and our mirage :) gonna be a good day.
Nobody:
Sam: *AAAAAAAH*
instead of blegh

Oh ... They deaded 😂 That killed me
“That’s how you smack...f***.” Perfectly in sync with the breakdown haha. You’re hilarious Nik
That was a catchy track, super solid.
Love the chorus, the main riff will be on repeat in my head.
Good shit Architects.
Oh, its snowing. Canadia lyfe! - Nik Nocturnal 2020
Can I just tell you Nik, I'm not a serious metalhead, mostly only listen to the very popular ones (that everyone else listen to too). Your reaction videos introduce me to the world of modern metal, and I'm grateful for it, thanks man.
I kinda liked "Animals", but this one definitely resonated more with me. I definitely enjoyed it 🥰
"Oh...Oh they deaded"
Technical term used by most surgeons and emergency workers in Canada. And Nik Nocturnal.
6:30 we finally got to hear Nik's uncleans!
Definitely vibe more to this than animals
Look point is every architects song is 👑
Animals is a boring ass song, generic riffs and no screams. This shit is wayyyyy better.
Animals is a sign of them going dad metal like how parkway went.
@@larristheblackswan3584 seems like there's always a two way street for metalcore bands now. butt rock or pop
@Victor Villatoro Gamboa agreed
You can always count on Architects to put out a banger, no matter what style or genre
YEAH, I NEEDED THIS REACTION
Dude, love the reaction at the jumpscare HAHAHA
Architects never disappoint. Just a side thought, anyone else kinda get Breaking Benjamin vibes from the riff or just me?
i get you bro
Yeah you’re not alone there, I can hear it too
I never really heard architects before. After hearing this I was disappointed. What album would everyone recommend I listen to as the quintessential album.
@@bonziisuncool Holy Hell for sure
Noone:
Nik at 5:15: "aight, Arjeteks"
"Didn't know architects was in the jumpscare business"
Nik-2020
Im always firstly watch new track with Nick reaction and then on band's official channel. Definitely love this song. Thanks Nick!
Honestly this started my day right. Thank you nik for the great reaction and my favourite quote to date. They deaded😂
Was waiting for this all day!!! Lol.
I wanted to say that they came back, but then realized that they proved theirs name again, amazing song, guitar riffs, love it, thanx for reaction))
The Chorus in this song SLAPS
"I just needed a good smack"
- Nik Nocturnal, 2020
Better than animals for sure. Definitely going to be a solid record but I don’t think it’s going to be better than either holy hell or all our gods have abandoned us. Maybe it will grow on me over time.
Both those albums were masterpieces, it’s hard to top them tbf
no one:
architechts: blegh lungs...
Aaaaaah lungs
Dude, forever ruined the chorus for me
More like aarrrgh lungs
erghhhhh lungs

This band is on another level right now. Amazing.

I can think of a couple of people who also just need a good smack...
Last time I was this early... Well... It was embarrassing.
I forgot Nik is Canadian too :0
also
This song is sick.
Is he Canadian like us?? I had no idea!! Thats awesome
@@AleksandrasJogailaitis1500 what. So it was a Canada joke?
@@labhusky3 he's from tronno fam
Lmao that got me bahahaha
Beautiful song, crazy breakdown!
Hey dude make sure this is your best reaction for me, you just awesome! Can't wait more from you. Thanks
Been waiting for this video all day!
3:28 when his breakdown senses are activated or however he put it
is anyone else back to listening to this now that the full album is out and watching nik react to the whole album in full?
I kinda like it, probably because I'm too attached to this type of vibe. Like that Sempiternal/BMTH vibe, it's heavy but has ambience and also is sad, dramatic, has a nice breakdown, is safe but angry enough. I'll listen to them a lot more!
Been waiting for this all day!
One of my favorite bands and youtuber
Now do, humanity's last breath - tide! Trust me
I like the contrast of the clean vocals with the screams on the breakdown, it makes the breakdown hit HARDER
Nik: I just needed a good smack
Architects: I’ll gives 2 plus a heart attack
YEAH!!!! Happy Vocal!! Positive point!! This is what we neeed in 2020!!!
NIK you're the BEST!!! So LOVE your reactions!!!
i aint listened to a lot of architects till watching your reactions and I love them, they are amazing, always making bangers
2:05 I did the same expression when I heard Sam singing the chorud! ahah
‘They deaded’ had me deaded 🤣
Literally been waiting for you to react to this all day. I'm very happy
His “that’s how you smack...fuck!” Blended in perfectly with the breakdown 😂🤘🏻
I heard Josh did vocals on this too, anyone know where😭 I’m assuming in the breakdown
lows in the breakdown i think
@@conorbradley1971 that’s sick
He does some backing vocals in the 1st verse.
It would be him shouting the gang vocals in the verses
Waited all day for this reaction. Was not disappointed, we all got smacked.
i love yours reactions bro, keep going, salutes from brazil.
Nik I'm glad I found you through architects and animals aha love finding people on here with great music taste
Every metal review and musician ever: the bass was there, being the back bone
You have noooooo idea how much I giggled hearing that breakdown! XD
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
This song was always recommended in my RUclips feed. I finally said ok, why not react with ya. Came in strong and I regretted not watching it earlier. Great vid dude! Thanks
Super good song, I personally love it.
Their new style is the best Architects yet and take this from a long time fan.
Adapt or die.
vocals on this are insane
The crazy hair dude 😂 love your videos Nik!!!
your thumbnail facial reactions are the highlight of my day when i get home from work
"they deaded"--Nik Nocturnal 2020
Looking forward to that new Spiritbox tomorrow
Breakdown hits:
Me: jslowly reaches for my phone to add this to my playlist*
super hyped to see you react to architects again. even if I am a little late to the party
Been checking youtube for the entire day now!! it's finally here!!!
Want the heaviness, hit up Humanity's Last Breath - Tide.
Ooo ahhh I can listen to Nik Nocturnal's voice all night. It's so soothing! 😊♥️
I fucking live for these reactions haha i love you 😂😂😂
i was literally listening to the song this morning and just picturing your reactions to that breakdown, as i had a similar one :D
The chorus brings me back to Sum 41 days growing up!
Funny you say that
Officially calling it, RIP Architects.
Used to feel everything for every song, can’t feel anything for generic Bmth copy cats.
seems like everyone’s transitioning to this style now 😢
@@noelrenteria2347 Yup, radio friendly and $$$$$ plus it’s safe.

@@halceonn not hating, are crying, just commenting how most bands are transitioning to literally the same thing now. Sucks but no ones mad or crying.
you know it's a good fucking song when you feel dizzy after you're done head-banging
When they released "Animals" I thought... why change the sound, but I like their new songs very much.
Of all the singles released this is my favorite and I cannot wait for the new album tomorrow
Love Nick's hair progression in this song
He did the screaming I happy
Came to the original music video because I know I'll see you there somewhere... I literally saw your comment first and then upnext is this... All I wanna say right now is... YES!
“Oh...they deaded” Best line in the video
i need something like these colours dont run
I've been waiting for you to react to this jumpscare since I heard this song for the first time
4:56 - this is the funniest part.
"Oh, they're dead?"
First Nik Nocturnal reaction I’ve ever seen. It did not disappoint! See ya in the next one.
I got my tickets for there October show here in Florida!!
React to aviations-Outliers. Glad you jumped on this so fast been banging this track all day.
