“Ol mate on the guitar with the hair” is Sergio Medina. He’s an absolute monster at guitar, and is in a bunch of other swancore bands, like Royal Coda, Nova Charisma, Sianvar, and Stolas. He also regularly features in DGD songs, and is co-owner of Blue Swan Records, alongside DGD guitarist Will Swan.
@@johnnyneedham9831 And guitar player with "the hair"...LOL....is Sergio Medina. He is VP of Blue Swan Records and is also in Royal Coda w/ DGD's first singer, Kurt Travis. And Sergio and Will Swan were in Sianvar with Donovan Melero of Hail The Sun. It's alllllll connected in the SwanCore Universe! OH....AND.....Jon Mess has a guest spot on a song on the new Eidola record.
Glad y’all found this gem, now DIVE IN! They definitely have some heavier stuff if you’re looking, like “Primitive Economics”. But if you just want an epic track all around react to “Transcendentium Pt. II: The Fourth Temple”. Then again you may want to listen to both parts. THEN AGAIN… there’s 4 parts to “The Temple” series 😅😭
I only found this band last week through this song. I've now listened to their previous album To speak, to listen and to me this is very different. Definitely pick up the DGD vibes from the album but this song is more me, so I'm really looking forward to the new album. Great review as always 🤘
This is also giving me massive Caligula's Horse and I'm so not mad about that. As far as I can gather, the leadsinger in Eidola is the touring Guitarist for Dance Gavin Dance, which explains alot.
Been listening to these guys for about 5 years this song is perfect prog swancore. And I agree they are better than dance Gavin dance. Their lead singer is the other touring guitarist with dance Gavin dance and has a couple vocal parts in dance Gavin dance songs.
Fun fact: I listened to it for the first time 3 days ago on Johnny's Released radar but they are new to you, are they? Actually I am not surprised, in mine there was a group I never heard before but the Discover Weekly has 10% artists I know well and like. They are great, so dynamic and involving.
Would HIGHLY recommend Tetelestai or Primitive Economics if you want to hear more of these guys killing it…everything they touch is gold but I’m sure you’d enjoy those!
Not reacting enough. Your eyebrows did all the talking. 😁 I saw these guys open for Hail the Sun a few years ago. Never heard of them, I immediately bought all their albums. Killers.
Not sure I'd say you guys are terrible at reactions, if this was really a first listen, think it's fair to have no words (or kinda discombobulated words, kinda where I'm at, vocals are crazy, definitely looking these guys up). Also Johnny, if you were the one singing in the clip from the Mod Sun (I think?) video, ya got some pipes, wouldn't worry too much (I'm sorry if the last bit reads funky, really weird calling somebody by name that I haven't actually met, but seemed weirder not to specify who the statement was intended for)
Very cool song lads. I would love to see you guys do a reaction to a song from Bleed from Withins newest album Fracture….NIGHT CROSSING. It’ll get ya up and about fellas, keep up the solid work 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Andrew is DGD’s touring second guitarist/third vocalist and he’s featured on a couple DGD tracks
Now a full time member bay-bee!! Lets goooo!

Eidola has been one of my top 5 bands for a few years now. I hope I get to see you react to more of their stuff. They really are a special group.
DGD comparison is apt considering Andrew is DGD’s touring guitarist/backup vocals and they used to be signed to Will Swan’s label Blue Swan.
Oh sick! Thanks!

@@JStoesz09 info game on point lad! 🙌🏼
@@JStoesz09 Yo how are you gonna talk about Sergio and not bring up Stolas?
Guitarist with the Claudio Sanchez hair is called Sergio Medina. He's played in a few different bands and is one of the managers at Blue Swan Records.

reminds me of old Hands Like Houses. Super sick band.
The vocals are awesome and orchestration is just…awesome. I have never heard of Eidola before 😳
I love how this song has a Mars Volta vibe to it. Or maybe At The Drive In with more radio friendly vocals.
Ok, now you have to check out the last single they released a video for - “Mutual Fear” with Jon Mess from DGD on screams. It’s so good.

Hands Like Houses x Jonny Craig Era Dance Gavin Dance.... MASSIVE Jonny Craig influence on the vocals
It is DGD and TDH mixed. Humble Ledger would be on my 20 song ever playlist easy, likely higher.
Great review guys. Eye-DOLE-uh is the correct pronunciation.

I disagree that they are better than DGD but are very close to them. Tillian > Andrew and John > Matt
@@David-uc6sg i just think eidolas strong structure is better dgd is repetitive anymore
@@ericsites2233 gotta compare the amount of music theyve made tho- not fair
omg this is damn good! so many great break downs! another new band to add to the mix! 😍
Huge Emarosa vibes as well.
Now do Eidola's 'Loti' off To Speak, To Listen. You're gonna cry.
Eidola is one of my favorite bands and their album Degeneraterra is incredible. You should really listen to the whole thing
My favorite band 😍😍😍😍😍
React to Dance Gavin Dance "Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most" Tree City Sessions 2. Andrew Wells sings with Tilian
Wow so many elements woven together in one song!! Impressive for sure 👌🏻

They are great, so dynamic and involving.
Dropping in to tell you to check out Shed My Skin by Within Temptation. Great Dutch (melodic?) metal band with one hell of a female singer
so good, thanks for sharing!!!
Yall should check out Bilmuri "absolutelycrankinmymf'inhog" different and amazing
I can hear a mixture of Karnivool and The Butterfly Effect in this
They are so good! Check out more dudes.
Also, bless you!

So I see a few Billie Eilish songs. Have you guys watched Conquer Divides cover of her song “Bad guy”?
Not reacting enough. Your eyebrows did all the talking. 😁 I saw these guys open for Hail the Sun a few years ago. Never heard of them, I immediately bought all their albums. Killers.
When are we getting a reaction to BTBAM’s new song “Fix the Error”?

Nathan are you okay? hahaha are you on meds for your shoulder? this made me laugh so much!
🤣🤦🏼♂️
Nice one
to be fair, the vocalist is basically a member of DGD haha
When you guys said “massive DGD vibes” at the dirty lyrics part, that’s because it’s a feature by Jon Mess lol
He’s not featured on this song, he’s on another song on the album.
@@ChaoAngel94 then who’s doing the dirty vocals
@@ChaoAngel94 and sounds exactly like him
@@logandoherty4723 Their guitarist, Matthew Dommer.
