I can't even understand a word he's saying! It's like having background sound for the fools! Some people don't care what's in the background as long as it's noise
both bands above (also with Imminence) are reinventing a new style to keep the genre alive while band like Bury Tomorrow is keeping the old style timeless
@@cloudrise me too, I only discovered them 24 hours ago. But I just put on my favorite headphones and listen to the album a couple times through while reading the lyrics on Spotify, which I love to do now, because I find myself truly connecting with a band much faster.
It is funny that you mentioned Erra and Silent Planet in the intro because Invent Animate was touring Europe with Erra, Silent Planet and Sentinels. Great line-up, great show. Enjoyed every second of it.
I was at Schlachthof Wiesbaden, translated the venue is being called Slaughterhouse and it has also a little side venue called Kesselhaus (boiling rooms)
I just want to say I 100% agree with the guy at 2:28. Ever since I've begun my journey through the metal scene, Nik has turned me on to soooooo many great bands and songs. He's truly right that metal is the most diverse genre out there.
My first time listening to invent animate was live, when they were on tour with polaris last year. Been a fan ever since and the amount of love they've been getting as of late is so wholesome to see.
The lineup was stacked I was at their Greensboro show and unfortunately Marcus wasn't singing, must've been sick or something Then my dad got his nose broken 2 days before my birthday (funnily enough, it'll be one year, tomorrow, since a crowd surfer broke his nose)
This era reminds me a lot of the late 90s and early 00s with bands coming out of the straight hardcore genre and branching out into more artsy hard rock. This song is awesome and would have fit neatly into the type of music I was listening to and looking for back then.
Greyview and Everchanger are both such incredible albums! Stillworld has some great moments too, this latest album Heavener really takes the cake though! Enjoy your dive into this band! 🤘🏼🔥
A older band that blended it pretty well was Haste the Day. I listened to them a lot when I was young. There song Autumn a very chill not metal song, is one of my favorite songs of all time.
One of my favorite bands back in the day. I picked up their album When Everything Falls by accident at a record shop and it’s one of the albums that got me into metal
You said it very well but yeah bands are finally nailing vibbyness while staying heavy, we got Loathe, Invent, Sleep Token, to name just a few, and I am here for all of it
Been on ERRA + Invent Animate + Silent Planet in eu last weekend. I was there for ERRA but actually Invent Animate made such an impression on me im definetly a fan now. Great band
I got into Invent from the Halycon reaction when that came out then Greyview was my top album of that year. Fast forward now and the new album made them my current fav band. Thanks for introducing me to them Nik!
I didn’t believe it at first because I am such a Stan for ERRA, but Invent Animate is literally the best when it comes to what I have started calling InnerPeaceCore. It’s so fucking heavy, but also cathartic. I don’t know how else to describe it.
To be honest their great balance between heaviness and softness what makes them top band for me although I first listened to them yesterday with the new album release
One of my favourite songs released in the last few years regardless of genre! Just has all the elements I love about song writing and progression, chord and melodic choices, the vocal lines and (my god) the range! So so good! 🤘🏼🔥
I listened to a bit of these guys back 2017 but didn't follow them over the years so I think it's time to come back to them again and check what's goin on. Cause I heard this pop up on spotify before I watched this video and it was only until halfway through the song I realized it was them. I was amazed with how much they grew together.
My dream lineup still to this day is Polaris, Currents, Erra and Invent Animate, with Invent Animate headlining. I really hope one day thats a show i get to see, would be a shame to miss that
I saw them live 2 weeks ago as support act for ERRA, together with silent planet and sentinels. Fucking sick performance! And they are super nice dudes.
Nik, since you (deservedly!) gushed about blending heavy and tender elements: You should totally do a video on Rolo Tomassi! Give 'A Flood of Light' or 'Drip' a listen (or rather all three of their latest albums which are heavenly), if you haven't already, and be amazed! :D
was my first invent animate album n i tried it cuz I found it funny it dropped same day as Suffer in Heaven of Chelsea Grin, scratching my itch for more aviana/slient planet fucking love this
I find it funny you mentioned ERRA and Silent Planet. Last week there was a tour here in the UK which was ERRA, Silent Planet, Invent Animate & Sentinels Incredible, as you can imagine.
I agree about modern metal being both chill and brutal being great. Honestly my favorite example to this day is still BTBAM. Crazy crackhead changeups every 5 secs, growls, blake going nuts on the drums, crazy distorted guitar, and then all of a sudden you get this chill ass section with dan playing some porno sounding bass solos, tommy's breathy, beautiful vocals, gorgeous leads, busy but chill drumming, etc. I can't fucking wait to see them on Apr 5!
Found this band while I was across the country doing volunteer work in the wilderness. The top of a mountain is a great place to listen to that chorus on Elysium
I want more invent animate songs that are just positive affirmations like immolation of the night. Perfect workout music and pretty much for anything that is hard to do in the moment but pays dividends later. Wanna break your diet just play the metalcore affirmations. "I AM ENOUGH!!!"
It's a great point about how competent and creative (and confident) bands in metalcore are finally getting at blending genres and sounds. I feel like we're getting closer to a "post-metalcore" movement, and as someone who loves post-black metal, post-rock, post-punk etc. as well as the genres that inspired them, that's pretty exciting.
Awww yeah!! Put my ear buds in to listen to this in bed and fell asleep listening to that voice but I was told by my wife I started headbanging shortly thereafter. 🤷
No wonder I always thought about my late Grandpa when listening to this song... it's only now that I found out that it's actually about losing a grandparent.

Invent Animate and Currents are keeping this genre alive
Kinda true. I'm not liking the current state of metal. It's too serious.
Top two bands for me rn
both bands above (also with Imminence) are reinventing a new style to keep the genre alive while band like Bury Tomorrow is keeping the old style timeless
thornhill as well
Can't agree more.
Currents and Invent Animate are easily my favorites.
Average currents W
Mine too 😮
Learning all of the lyrics to this song was a fucking treat. Makes me tear up every time now
This whole album is very relatable to me on a personal level. The end of "False Meridian" 3:24 onward, left tears streaming. Very powerful outro.
@@cloudrise me too, I only discovered them 24 hours ago. But I just put on my favorite headphones and listen to the album a couple times through while reading the lyrics on Spotify, which I love to do now, because I find myself truly connecting with a band much faster.
Big chills vibes
yeah their lyrics are mind blowing I can't believe it. monuments too
It is funny that you mentioned Erra and Silent Planet in the intro because Invent Animate was touring Europe with Erra, Silent Planet and Sentinels. Great line-up, great show. Enjoyed every second of it.
Indeed, I was at the Manchester show
'Phrost
Indeed, is right. I was at one of those shows as well. I was blown away.
Yeah I was at the show in Tilburg, what an amazing show
I was at Schlachthof Wiesbaden, translated the venue is being called Slaughterhouse and it has also a little side venue called Kesselhaus (boiling rooms)
Saw them in Stockholm, really good stuff!

I am really happy about the modern metal era.. I love those cleans and the mix of heavier and softer riffs are awesome!
I'd love to be you, because I hate modern metal (except this album, this one stands out).
Peak of metal music
I found invent animate about 2 years ago and I love them. So glad they are getting more attention.
i heard their name everywhere for so long and decided to check out the new album, and it is now one of my favourites lmao its too good
Same here. Had no clue and people where creaming over it and then I took a listen and this shit is 🔥
their new album is something metalcore needed so badly
The new album has got to be album of the year already, truly a work of art. Beautiful and brutal at the same time.
Their new album is fucking stellar.
I just want to say I 100% agree with the guy at 2:28. Ever since I've begun my journey through the metal scene, Nik has turned me on to soooooo many great bands and songs. He's truly right that metal is the most diverse genre out there.
My first time listening to invent animate was live, when they were on tour with polaris last year. Been a fan ever since and the amount of love they've been getting as of late is so wholesome to see.
That tour is where I saw/heard Alpha Wolf for the first time. That lineup was so stacked.
@@moorbish yeah it was. The thing that made it extra memorable for me was that it was my first concert ever.
The lineup was stacked
I was at their Greensboro show and unfortunately Marcus wasn't singing, must've been sick or something
Then my dad got his nose broken
2 days before my birthday (funnily enough, it'll be one year, tomorrow, since a crowd surfer broke his nose)

Marcus is a freakin beast, super talented and his voice is just so beautiful man.
The chorus after the breakdown especially with that high note ughhh beautiful ❤
Heard of this band before, but never took a closer look. This song is a banger! Definitely going to dive into their discography now!
Greyview and Everchanger are both such incredible albums! Stillworld has some great moments too, this latest album Heavener really takes the cake though! Enjoy your dive into this band! 🤘🏼🔥
0:35 not only is asmongold godly at guitar, he also has the voice of an angel
I like how you mentioned how the riffs feel so natural. they really do, especially with such an artificial noise coming from some of the licks.
A older band that blended it pretty well was Haste the Day.
I listened to them a lot when I was young.
There song Autumn a very chill not metal song, is one of my favorite songs of all time.
ayy the memories.. thats easily 15 years back
One of my favorite bands back in the day. I picked up their album When Everything Falls by accident at a record shop and it’s one of the albums that got me into metal
One of the best modern metal albums ever made.
You said it very well but yeah bands are finally nailing vibbyness while staying heavy, we got Loathe, Invent, Sleep Token, to name just a few, and I am here for all of it
Been obsessed with this album all week
Been on ERRA + Invent Animate + Silent Planet in eu last weekend. I was there for ERRA but actually Invent Animate made such an impression on me im definetly a fan now. Great band
800k metalheads!!!!!! Very much deserved with how much awesome content you put out. Keep it up!!!!!
The wall of sound they put out is phenomenal. Ambient Melodic MetalCore masters.
I love that Nik says “up there” at 2:27 knowing that he goes an octave higher later lol
I got into Invent from the Halycon reaction when that came out then Greyview was my top album of that year. Fast forward now and the new album made them my current fav band. Thanks for introducing me to them Nik!
Nocturne: Lost Faith and Indigo have to be my favorite songs by Invent Animate, first but best songs ive heard
I didn’t believe it at first because I am such a Stan for ERRA, but Invent Animate is literally the best when it comes to what I have started calling InnerPeaceCore. It’s so fucking heavy, but also cathartic. I don’t know how else to describe it.
My standard for albums have completely changed
effing vibed with it a super lot. unmatchable energy. I feel like they just keep getting better and better.
My favorite band since greyview. Heavener is an incredible experience front to back
I'm new to Invent Animate, and this is stuck in my head. 10/10 song
silent planet was my fav album for djent but this new album Heavener is definitely my fav now!
I’ve had the new album on repeat . Great stuff
To be honest their great balance between heaviness and softness what makes them top band for me although I first listened to them yesterday with the new album release
One of my favourite songs released in the last few years regardless of genre! Just has all the elements I love about song writing and progression, chord and melodic choices, the vocal lines and (my god) the range!
So so good! 🤘🏼🔥
Invent Animate and Currents is doing so good for this genre cant deny that fact
I listened to a bit of these guys back 2017 but didn't follow them over the years so I think it's time to come back to them again and check what's goin on. Cause I heard this pop up on spotify before I watched this video and it was only until halfway through the song I realized it was them. I was amazed with how much they grew together.
They Haven't put out a bad record. This one has all the sounds
Been listening since 2014 and definitely agree. Them and silent planet are my top two metalcore bands.
@@ckokomo808 100% same for sure. Probably Currents and (Thornhill? not sure if you can call them metalcore anymore but yeh)
My dream lineup still to this day is Polaris, Currents, Erra and Invent Animate, with Invent Animate headlining. I really hope one day thats a show i get to see, would be a shame to miss that
This whole album is such a vibe dude! Great stuff start to finish.
I saw them live 2 weeks ago as support act for ERRA, together with silent planet and sentinels. Fucking sick performance! And they are super nice dudes.
Invent Animate… makes me want to descend into my sadness and rest there
Songs like this and Circle with Me by Spiritbox are my favorite types of modern metal songs.
Nik, since you (deservedly!) gushed about blending heavy and tender elements: You should totally do a video on Rolo Tomassi! Give 'A Flood of Light' or 'Drip' a listen (or rather all three of their latest albums which are heavenly), if you haven't already, and be amazed! :D
was my first invent animate album n i tried it cuz I found it funny it dropped same day as Suffer in Heaven of Chelsea Grin, scratching my itch for more aviana/slient planet fucking love this
Great to see that Francis from "Malcom in the Middle" joined a metal band! 🔥
The video reminds me of the one by Holding Absence for Afterlife
Fucking love this era of metal. Some good groovin and dancin music out there rn
These and currents are unbeatable
1 yr later, and I’m gonna say Heavener is one of the top albums of the last decade. It’s flawless!
I find it funny you mentioned ERRA and Silent Planet.
Last week there was a tour here in the UK which was ERRA, Silent Planet, Invent Animate & Sentinels
Incredible, as you can imagine.
Yup, I was at their Manchester gig.
'Phrost
I watched SinfulScreams full album reaction, and it’s really a great album start to finish.
did you watch the cover of sleep token - chokehold from will ramos !
Yep, was in the same stream as this.
'Phrost
Can we please post that?
It was insanely good.
The whole album is a BANGER!!!
Nice Drew cameo for the first couple of seconds of the clip lol
Love that you’re using the Twitch channel for less polished reviews - these are perfect
I agree about modern metal being both chill and brutal being great. Honestly my favorite example to this day is still BTBAM. Crazy crackhead changeups every 5 secs, growls, blake going nuts on the drums, crazy distorted guitar, and then all of a sudden you get this chill ass section with dan playing some porno sounding bass solos, tommy's breathy, beautiful vocals, gorgeous leads, busy but chill drumming, etc. I can't fucking wait to see them on Apr 5!
I am picking up some Intuition era Contortionist, but with their own sound. Literal perfection
they go hard live aswell, saw them together with erra and silent planet
This and Chelsea Grin’s new album are the best metal I’ve heard in years
Found this band while I was across the country doing volunteer work in the wilderness. The top of a mountain is a great place to listen to that chorus on Elysium
i can't get enough of this song
Reminds me of Memphis May Fire- The Hollow album. Super cool
getting close to 100,000 subscriber's dude good luck getting there Nik
BRO i found these guys a couple months ago and I thought good metal core was dead this album is a fucking masterpiece tho
just saw them live a month ago with silent planet, erra and sentinels on tour, it was fcking insane
This is easily AOTY for me. Such a insanely good album. Fun fact, Landon from Plot helped produce this gem.
That’s cool to know.
4:51 I think no one did it better than As I Lay Dying
This song is so beautiful
I want more invent animate songs that are just positive affirmations like immolation of the night.
Perfect workout music and pretty much for anything that is hard to do in the moment but pays dividends later. Wanna break your diet just play the metalcore affirmations. "I AM ENOUGH!!!"
Damn, I might be a fan. These guys are new to me, but I'm digging it.
Easily my 2nd favorite band ever, my birthday was 2 days ago and got some merch of theirs from my sister, they're so fucking good.
Who’s your favorite?
Vildhjarta
Vildhjarta one of my faves too, W. Happy belated birthday

if you listen to the album while driving at night you might not arrive in your intended dimension
Love the owls the editor added. Hoo hoo
Just saw them, ERRA and bad omens in NC
One of the best metal band in 2023 by far !
First I'm hearing of this band and I dig it
Wow this is the first Modern Metal that i Like since i discovered Jinjer
Kinda getting linkin vibes from the verse, amazing track
Had to scroll way too long to see this comment. Big time Linkin Park
This is the new power ballad.
5:03 Based. Respect.
In the thumbnail, the singer looks like he is going to be attacking Green Lantern any time now.
Invent Animate (Erra, Silent Planet)
I've posted it before and I'll post it again, false meridian is the secret banger on this album
Awww yeah!! Put my ear buds in to listen to this in bed and fell asleep listening to that voice but I was told by my wife I started headbanging shortly thereafter. 🤷
They Look Like the 80 ies Band Tear for Fears but the Metal
They give me Imminence vibes! Without the violin
i lovedthis album and i'll prob buy it
Oh yeah this goes
No wonder I always thought about my late Grandpa when listening to this song... it's only now that I found out that it's actually about losing a grandparent.
it's thanks to IA, BAAO, OAA and Beartooth that I got fully into modern metal
great to see IA is going so hard 💯
I like vibing and banging in the same minute.
Damn this is good!
4:47 which Band is he talking about?
