Thanks a million for the love and for sharing our music! To answer your questions, we are from Iceland and have been releasing music since 2008. We will be heading out on a tour with Leprous this Fall and I would absolutely love to drag you out to one of our shows. Stay in touch and keep shedding light on music, you're helping bands out more than you know! Much love - Arnór Dan
Hi Arnor, thank you for this comment man I really appreciate you taking the time out, as you will see you guys have a lot of fans below who will all be happy to see this! I hope to see you tour with fucking Leprous that would be insane, beers on me!
Agent fresco has something magic🔥vocals are insane and even instrumentally they are unique,seeing them live with leprous in Italy in november is going to be fucking amaazing😍
Absolutely love Agent Fresco, I'd suggest "Eyes Of A Cloud Catcher" next... It's a Song about the passing of the vocalists father, if possible watch a live version of that Song... It really gives it a lot more of an emotional impact
Hey man, I have a very important suggestion for you my friend, It's a band called Hypno5e. They have a very unique sound, It's prog but also avant gardist, heavy but also atmospheric, even Gojira is fan of them (They opened for them a few years ago). This is the kind of band that push forward the evolution of metal. This band is a hidden gem and it deserves way more attention than it gets, this is why I keep suggesting them. Here are a few songs to get introduced: - Story of the Eye - South Shore - Blind Man's Eye - Daybreak at Slaugther House - Acid Mist Tomorrow - Brume Unique Obscurité Part II (Instrumental) You can't go wrong with these! My work here is done, hope this comment won't fall off the radar.
I love Agent Fresco and Leprous, they are fabulous live too. We are going to Austria to see them playing together in November, and have been to their separate shows in Zagreb, Croatia. Try Shadows from Nord ( Croatian band).
At first I thought reaction videos were pointless, silly, but after finding Truant and Galactic I have come across some great bands I may not have. So basically I've done a 180. Keep up the good work boys. btw, just subbed which brings you to 45,250...insane
No time to check what's about with the music situation nowadays, you sir are doing all the hard work. Keep doing what you are doing and cheers from Hong Kong.
I love it when people hear Agent Fresco for the first time and become damn near speechless. Great stuff! I have yet to hear a bad song of theirs. Check out "Howls" or "Dark Water".
Agent Fresco are from Iceland, and I really recommend the sideprojects the vocalist has with other Iceland´s artists like Olafur Arnalds. Please see the band 22 and song Plastik, i know you will love it !
I was just experiencing this album for the first time last night as well, and I was impressed front to back. Didn't think there was another band doing anything like Leprous, but this is very similar in terms of tight clever songwriting. You've got to check out The Secret Chiefs 3, their live video for Vajira would be a trip to watch your reaction for.
Love your channel man. I'm pretty familiar with most of the music you've been posting and that alone makes it awesome to see someone else react to it with a fresh set of eyes and ears. On top of that, you'll post a band like this that I've never heard before and it's wonderful because if not for videos and accounts like this I may never have stumbled across a band like this or the so many others on your channel. Keep it up man! Also, if I may, you should check out Hybrid Earth by Erra. Cheers!
Truant, m'boy... Coming from left field with this one: Candiria, a metal/hardcore/jazz fusion band from Brooklyn, NY, featuring Kenneth Schalk, the greatest drummer no one has ever heard of... I recommend "Constant Velocity Is As Natural As Being At Rest" as a starting point. There is no official video or decent live footage, but they are worth a listen. I guarantee it'll tickle your willy.
I never really comment on stuff like this, but I like your thoughts and musings on the music . I see that you recently have reacted to bands like the Contortionist, Leprous, Agent Fresco, Native Construct, Earthside etc. I'd like to mention two bands that I think you'd like, based on your reactions so far: One is Disperse from Poland. Listen to : Disperse - Message From Atlantis. The other is Danish band VOLA: Listen to VOLA - Starburn. Both are incredible young bands, that could really use some love and exposure. Stay safe man. :)
I like Agent Fresco quite a bit, but I don't find myself going back to them very often for whatever reason. I'd love to see you react to "Mr. Invisible" by Thank You Scientist. It's not a great representation of their sound as a whole, but it's a cool song and you'll get your dose of violins. And goats.
Nice! I've got both their albums. Really good stuff. I haven't listened to them in a long time so thanks for the reminder. I would recommend listening to Anemoi, He Is Listening and Eyes Of A Cloud Catcher in one go. Definitely makes for a great experience! Also check out the song "Filter" by a band called Ceterum. It's some really fantastic metal which is unfortunately criminally unknown.
first time i've heard of this band and i thought this song was amazing. already got the album this is from on iTunes to listen to later. also please react to Slaughter to Prevail - Chronic Slaughter
You could react to EMPEROR With strength I burn (Live Wacken 2006). Ihsahn singer/guitarist of Emperor (black metal band from Norway) is the man who does the screamed voice in the video of LEPROUS Contaminate Me (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall) you have reacted previously. Greetings from France
Yes, I'm a spammer. You should totally react to Iter Impius+Martius Nauticus by Pain of Salvation, perfect live performance and lots of classical instruments.
I have a question for you man. I've heard a ton about anathema, and watched your reaction video. But their discography is sort of intimidating honestly lol. Any suggestions on where to get started? Thanks!
New subscriber! Found you because the band actually posted this on their FB page! Just wondering, the name "Truant", is that possibly from the Alien Ant Farm album by the same name? ;)
Please react to Sylosis! Do Leech (official music video) if you're in the mood for something heavily melodic or Fear the World (also has a music video) for something heavier and thrashier. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming!
P.S. Forgot to mention in other videos but I'm glad you enjoyed The Human Abstract, knew you'd enjoy the song and it made my day to see your reaction. If you haven't already you should check out the rest of the album Digital Veil. It's a fucking masterpiece and one of my all time favorite metal albums
There is a band I think you would like called Traitors. Hate Campaign and Wornout are what I recommend for reactions. As well as Slaughter To Prevail (another band recommendation).
I know a local band around my area from Australia called Kold Creature. They're an Aggro Metal band with influences such as Tool and Korn. This is a music video for their song "Edge of Gravity" ruclips.net/video/axfUte1Qau8/видео.html
Please listen Squarepusher - Dark Steering, is not metal, is Electronic, but it's amazing, the genre is IDM: Intelligence Dance Music, you need to hear that :) Greetings from México!
Check out Destrage - Destroy Create Transform Sublimate, or if you're looking for a song a bit more crazy check Are You Kidding Me? No. by the same band. That one doesn't have a music video though.
Nice!, would be awesome to see you react to Vitalism - bipolarity i think you would really like really like it! Keep it up love watching your reactions
Check out the song Dark Ages by Sithu Aye. I am willing to bet you will really like his work. And I wll put it out there again that you really need to listen to anything that any of the songs from the album Odyssey to the West by Slice the Cake, but I will specifically call out Unending Waltz. They are phenomenal.
Truant, if you want something new, I've got the baddest Electronic music for you that you'll find and I think you'll appreciate it given that you are a prog lover. Watch, Collider by Noisia. Its an absolutely monstrous song with a crazy video clip. its something you've never heard before
Thanks a million for the love and for sharing our music!

You guys are amazing. Can't wait to see you again with Leprous in Copenhagen!
Hi Arnor, thank you for this comment man I really appreciate you taking the time out, as you will see you guys have a lot of fans below who will all be happy to see this! I hope to see you tour with fucking Leprous that would be insane, beers on me!
Leprous were insanely brilliant, but Agent Fresco were also amazing ! Love them in Marseille, France. Gave me goosebumps !
Damn, I still get goosebumps on this track.

- Brume Unique Obscurité Part II (Instrumental)
You can't go wrong with these!
My work here is done, hope this comment won't fall off the radar.
Thanks guys! Yet another "straight to bandcamp to buy" for me!
I love Agent Fresco and Leprous, they are fabulous live too. We are going to Austria to see them playing together in November, and have been to their separate shows in Zagreb, Croatia. Try Shadows from Nord ( Croatian band).
AGENT FRESCOOOO so good. You should also review their song Dark Water live at Studio A.
From Agent Fresco, should try Dark Water.
Check out Port Noir and Vola, and thanks for checking out Agent Fresco! These guys are from Iceland.
At first I thought reaction videos were pointless, silly, but after finding Truant and Galactic I have come across some great bands I may not have. So basically I've done a 180. Keep up the good work boys. btw, just subbed which brings you to 45,250...insane
Ayyee Dance Gavin Dance - Death Of The Robot With Human Hair.
This band has the most variety in their music I have ever heard
YEEEESS Agent fresco
one of the deepest and most incredible clips i've ever seen
No time to check what's about with the music situation nowadays, you sir are doing all the hard work. Keep doing what you are doing and cheers from Hong Kong.
Arnor Dan (the singer) did lots of stuff with Olafur Arnalds, you HAVE to check out their cover of "say my name"!!
My favorite band!!!
I love it when people hear Agent Fresco for the first time and become damn near speechless. Great stuff! I have yet to hear a bad song of theirs. Check out "Howls" or "Dark Water".
Check out Agent Fresco's Live at Studio A version of the song "Dark Water" next!
Yes! I´d suggest that to be the next react video as well! That live version is simply amazing!
There is a fantastic prog band you will love. The song is called natural selection by distorted harmony.
The singer for distorted harmony also has a clean powerful voice
Agent Fresco are from Iceland, and I really recommend the sideprojects the vocalist has with other Iceland´s artists like Olafur Arnalds.
Please see the band 22 and song Plastik, i know you will love it !
Ignore everyone else.
Agent Fresco-Howls.
I was just experiencing this album for the first time last night as well, and I was impressed front to back. Didn't think there was another band doing anything like Leprous, but this is very similar in terms of tight clever songwriting.

By the way.. Leprous and Agent Fresco are touring together. Get yourself to a show!

If you're in mood for something more extreme try Dying Fetus- From Womb to Waste. Amazing riffs and drums

ANNALYNN "DECEIVER / BELIEVER" feat. Chad Ruhlig of For the Fallen Dreams
metal core from thailand
React to Sylosis-Mercy. They are second best metal right now imo after gojira.
Ben Pantera Also commented on Sylosis, they're easily one of the greatest metal bands within the last decade
metalabe96 agree. Underated band and proved people wrong standard tuning can be heavy and classy.
Framing hanley
Hey dude! I'm loving your video as always. Maybe I can get a birthday wish off here:
Auras - "Dream Elixir"
I would be so thankful to see this today
im a bit late on your request man but happy birthday!!!
Truant, if you want something new, I've got the baddest Electronic music for you that you'll find and I think you'll appreciate it given that you are a prog lover. Watch, Collider by Noisia. Its an absolutely monstrous song with a crazy video clip. its something you've never heard before
What is the point of showing your reaction?
that's late a bit, but it has the same point as showing your comment
Lost Society - Trash All Over You
When I saw the title of the song "see hell" I thought it was gonna brutal as fuck. But the song was ok not my cup of tea lol.
Too poppy for me. I love the vocals (it indeed did remind me of the vocalist of Leprous), but the rest of the music wasn't much interesting to me
