8/10 www.theneedled...
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
Fantano gave BMTH an 8/10
2020 really is a simulation
Beautiful Mark Twisted Hantasy?
High-key tilted that this was the very top comment, and spoiled the review immediately for me.
I *hate* that RUclips on desktop, makes comments visible without needing to scroll down.
@@Axisoflords sorry homie
This record fucks so much. Like I'm so stoked at how great it is
Hey gave Amo an 8/10 also
"Dear diary" violently punched me 12 years back to suicide season
Same xD while count your blessings is my favorite, I loved the change closer to their older style!!
I don't really hear the resemblance at all.
@@mutekrabby5039 I hear a resemblance. I hear something like “Sleep With One Eye Open” and “wonderful life” if they had a kid.
@@mutekrabby5039 that part "shut the fuck up!" in the song really reminisce the comedown imo
Love the homage to pray for plagues at the end too.
He’s reviewed it twice today, he gave it an 8 twice, officially a 16/10, thank you melon.
LMAO
Now I can enjoy the music.
Wdym
Kingslayer, forevermore the melon of my eye
They are choosing not to make 'albums' anymore. They find the process of banging out 10+ tracks to be extremely exhausting, and a waste when in a few months people will be wanting more. They are doing a 4-part EP series titled 'Post Human'. This is the first one, and the other 3 will be released throughout 2021.
They said the rest of the EP's will be shorter, between 5-7 tracks. Jordan mentioned this one is 'so close' to an album in terms of amount of tracks because they already had Ludens. Then obvi Itch For The Cure is just an intro.
They want to focus on 5,6 to 7 songs instead of 10+ because they want better quality tracks, instead of losing your head over filling an entire album. This way they can release more music, more frequently and basically have better quality tracks in the process.
Huh, seems like im interested in bmth again
So that means more linkin park ish music for me XD
kinda interested in these kind of concept. it's like anime season
I see the point, my fear is that Ye also did this and took 3 bit L’s except KSG.
@@kaingates People were too hard on Ye and JIK imo. Sure they aren't comparable to something like MBDTF but I think they both had their own flairs.
Hey Anthony, would love it if you could give Amynedd's "16-Bit Adventure" a mention. It's a music project of GeoGuessr legend and fence-climbing mad lad Tom Davies aka GeoWizard, one of RUclips's greatest.
Dude that would be so great, do it melon man
Do this!
Love to see this!
Please do this

Fun fact: the "AI" sounding vocals on Parasite Eve were done by Oliver Sykes's wife, her Portuguese accent probably accounting for the strange tone they have. There's video of this in the vlogs they were posting as they were making the EP.
also she's not portuguese, she's brazillian!
@@lucaspsm125 and in Brazil they speak portuguese...
Oooh
I needa watch em then lol
@@petrblatny2472 Americans speak English but dont have English accents, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese sound different
@@joshuasilva8168 But is it really that obvious when someone from Brazil speaks english? I don’t think so.
POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR ! *EASTER EGGS HERE* !
*Dear Diary*
Was originally called 'Survival Horror'.
The song title and some lyrics are references to Keeper's Diary from the Resident Evil games, where it describes a deadly virus.
Keeper's Diary also contains the phrase 'Tasty Itchy', seen in the lyrics.
In Verse 2 Oli Sykes' dog Luna can be heard barking.
Bit of controversy regarding the similarity of the main riffs in this and 'Swerve City' by Deftones.
*Parasite Eve*
Parasite Eve is a 1998 Survival Horror genre game, with a virus related storyline.
The female AI is actually Oli Sykes' wife Alissa.
The chorus was originally 'If we survive the infection, will we remember the lesson.' But was changed given the serious nature of the Covid-19 pandemic currently.
They started writing this song before Covid-19 really began spreading.
The chorus line, 'If the Suspense doesn't kill you, something else will' is from the Resident Evil game.
Chorus' 'wash your hands' metaphor related to Covid-19.
*Teardrops*
Sounds like Linkin Park
Commentary on the youth's tech addiction, depression and drug problems.
A social and personal piece.
*Obey*
A Commentary on political powers and oppression.
Obey we hope you have a lovely day is a juxtaposition of being told to enjoy yourself whilst being oppressed.
Feature's Yungblud, Yorkshire native and friend of Oli Sykes'.
Yungblud's line 'commemorate a wonderful life', may be a reference to the track 'Wonderful Life' on BMTH's last full length 'amo.'
Lots of nods to Nu Metal, such as the accented verse similar to Bodies by Drowning Pool.
*Itch for The Cure*
A reversed title of 'Cure For The Itch' by Linkin Park from Hybrid Theory. Homage to the band and also a reference to their clear inspiration on BMTH for this album.
Introduction for Kinglasyer.
*Kingslayer*
'Kingslayer' is a prize awarded to players on the game Call of Duty when they kill the top ranked player in the current game.
Features Baby Metal, as does the *unreleased* track 'feels alright underground', from 2018.
A Clear mix of all era's of BMTH. Including vocal styles, growling, screaming, singing and gutturals.
*1x1*
Personal reference's to Oli Sykes' addiction problems in the past.
"Put me out of my misery" chorus line is a reference to Linkin Park's 'Given Up', with the same lyrics in it.
Features Nova Twins, after they followed Oli Sykes on Instagram he asked them to feature, as he was already a massive fan.
Title to be pronounced 'One by One'.
*Ludens*
Features in Death Stranding game, was written in one week to be used last minute on the video game.
Was written last year long before Covid-19. Yet has many coincidental and scary references such as, 'how can we form a connection if we can't even shake hands', which relates to the nationwide lockdowns that went on. And is also an exact line from the game.
In the music video drummer Matt Nichols can be seen swearing a face covering, long before they were necessary.
The line 'don't be surprised when the [programme] starts to crash' is from the game Death Stranding.
'Ludens' is latin for 'Playing'. Suggests the chorus line, 'we need a new luden' is another game reference meaning 'we need a new player.' But also mostly comes from Kojima Production's (the game developer) tag line 'From sapiens to Ludens.'
Verse 2 was changed from "names can dig so many graves, you won't know where to stand" on the single and soundtrack version to "names will make me blow the brains out of all the kids in class" on the album version.
*One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death*
Amy Lee's appearance on the track arose from Evanescence contacting BMTH with legal threats, given the similarity of Bring Me's song 'nihilist blues' to Evanescence's song 'Never Go Back'. It was settled and Amy Lee has official writing credits on nihilist blues. The two parties insist their were no bad feelings and to prove it Amy Lee, being a fan, featured on the song.
The song is about climate change.
Amy Lee's part is meant to be the only 'human' part of the album (give the title Post Human), she represents Mother Nature and a fading past of nature, humankind and safety.
It ends with a flipped version of the common phrase 'love is in the air' by using 'isn't'.
*Whole Album*
The album was written, recorded and mastered entirely digitally, as all members were in lockdown in both the UK and US (bassist Matt Kean was stuck in LA).
It was mixed and additional compositions were done by Mick Gordon who wrote and produced the game Doom Eternal's soundtrack.
It is the first instalment in the Post Human era of the band which they have said is to include 4 EPs.
Thank you! This was so fun to read :)
nice fan fiction
Thanks for sharing!
thanks alot for this info, it’s my favourite album of all time and i didn’t know much of this
No shit sherlock but thank you
Just like with MANTRA, Parasite Eve went from his "worst tracks of the week" to a fav track on a highly regarded album.
Yes I said this on the last one, but not its gone!!
Yeah I noticed this lmao
Yeah I found that odd...
Context matters a lot. Without the context of the EP even the lyrics can be kinda cringey. Also some songs get better as you listen more. Tracks of the week are heard once, albums or EPs have multiple listens.
Opinions change,also songs sometimes sounds better with the context of the album
Dude, why did no one tell me Mick Gordon was a part of this?
I came here from your tweet
Ray gone mad
i didn’t even know he was apart of it when the album came out but i assumed it did because it had those elements
“Eight” is a weird way to pronounce “ten,” Anthony.
Weird way to pronounce 'bad' you mean?
@@douglasdiggins8296 You're not funny
@@douglasdiggins8296 I don’t know what’s bad about it, there’s lots of awesome stuff in the album. The 8 is deserved.
@@ryanbollinger1759 Generic metal/deathcore fuck yeah bro 8/10 super deserved lol. Should have got a 3-4 max that genre proves time and time again there is nothing new to offer.
@@Twist3d420 Still better than shitty "I have money and bitches" rap BS.
Bring Me The Horizon posted him in their instagram story
They finally made it.
Dope
link?
@@jedemesa23 its a story, its gone
The best BMTH have been since Sempiternal in my opinion, this is a solid balance between their new sound and metalcore
Good to know, I've been kind of procrastinating listening just in case I disliked it as much as their last album. 😅😅
@@kionnakelly2918 If you like Sempiternal then you'll probably like the EP
@@kboanddbo just listened to it last night and I like almost all of the songs. 🔥🔥
Definately, it went from me entirely losing all interest in them to actually solid enjoying the back half of this EP. With liking aspects of the first half
Loved sempiternal and thats the spirit (though thats the spirit didnt age as well for me going back to it i dunno) as a young teen. Hated the fact that oli cant fucking sing and that the last ep was so meh. I guess i should give this one a listen?
“Anthony, this is the second time this day you’ve reviewed Bring Me The Horizon.”
Lmao I left a comment about how they don't like albums now but I don't feel like typing it out again oops
I guess its a 16
Is this supposed to be funny?
Can somebody explain? I don’t really get this comment.
@@sadcookie7401
This vid got reuploaded is all.
>Produced by Mick Gordon
Doomguy confirmed for BMTH fan.
In an interview around the time the first singles from this ep came out, Oli said he was playing doom and loved the sound track and that was part of his inspiration to dive back into the heavier side of music.
mick gordon does like bmth, but i think he only worked on partly on parasite eve, the rest was bmth's resident synth/producer jordan
@@COBMapler Sykes said they mostly worked together in this album.
Is in the cover of the EP😂😂😂
@@COBMapler nah you can clearly hear him on dear diary, kingslayer, 1x1
A positive score for BMTH? Jesus Christ, 2020 really has been a crazy year...
The last album got a positive score too
@Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap this was pretty predictable to me
>the last album got a positive score too
Are we gonna ignore there's an album between AMO and Post-Human: Survival Horror? A pretty shitty one...
@@miserirken we definitely are ignoring that
@@miserirken nah I wouldn’t say shitty. It’s definitely got some nice qualities to it, but it’s hurt by the extremely long track list.
And no, you can’t glorify Count Your Blessings over it.
Fun fact:
Ludens wasn’t supposed to be on this EP but with COVID-19 and lockdown happening all over the world a lot of the lyrics in the song seemed to fit the feeling of not being able to be social with family and friends: “How do I form a connection when we can’t even shake hands”.
Don't forget it being created and used in Death Stranding
I knew he secretly enjoyed Parasite Eve. *It's a fooken banger*
facken*
Frickin*
Feckingoh*
Effing*
innit
Not to mention that not only is there linkin park sounds all over it but “Itch for the cure”? Linkin park has a song called “Cure for the itch”
Oli confirmed it was a reference to LP
I liked that when I saw it
dude was this close to giving it a 9-10 on his twitch stream after listening to parasite eve, kingslayer, 1x1 and dear diary, and had to tap out after he verbally pondered how it would affect his indie cred to score this thing that high. hilarious, awesome that it scored so high and glad he is appreciating it and being objective.
Ludens was made for game death stranding, they had 5 days to make the song and recorded everything in a hotel room.
So fucking incredible hahaha and inspiring. It’s proof you don’t need high tech recording studios to make amazing music.
As someone who’s been a fan of BMTH since 2007 I’m glad they brought back some of their old metalcore sound on a few of the tracks. Kingslayer is such a great mashup of their older and newer styles and the Babymetal feature works surprisingly well.
This album was so good Anthony had to repost it
Surprising to see parasite eve in fav tracks but I guess it was only time that melon would realise that it's a banger.
1 by 1 sounds like a Linkin park song, who cares it's super catchy and right amount of familiar in my opinion.
And finally ludens was made for death stranding last year on a short deadline it's not a product of these pandemic sessions. It's just on the ep cause it's just as post apocalyptic as some of the other tracks.
Bring Me The Horizon AND Starset? Someone's got taste, hell yeah 😂
@@lcxl6053 Every time i leave a comment on this channel someone recognises the it and that just makes my day. We're all here just hiding in the shadows i guess.
@@lcxl6053 bro I was just gonna say that haha. Love starset so much
imagine starset and bmth touring together :')
@@roshanfey dream come true
Love the SIMP jacket.
actually the patch reads TRUMP, also in the beginning of the video he says "I HOPE YOU VOTED".
this is a sign.
That patch actually says PIMP
Nah, its MP, meaning he's a member of parliament, obviously.
p sure it says GIMP, referencing his love of Pulp Fiction
@@leandroantunes2044 bruh moment
Review geowizards new album!!!
Bro easy 11, a review won't even be necessary
U MISSPELLED IT THE FIRST TIME, U WONT GET AWAY WITH THIS.
also FIRST lol
mispronounced would be more accurate i suppose, but for those that dont know he called it SURVIVAL ERROR and i think thats why he reuploaded, possible its a joke since the error he made was mispronouncing something as error.
aea mano
LMAO
@@nightmare-nightmarenightma1147 im tryna go to sleep you're gonna gimme a nightmare ;(
fun fact: Oli, the lead singer, has been a huge linkin park fan since he was a teenager and that’s what inspired most of bmths music. and it’s very obvious on this album.
When I heard Mick Gordon was producing, I knew I was gonna love this. His work on the Doom Eternal soundtrack is next fucking level.
"Ludens" is in Death Stranding
Video games and this band seem to go well together. Especially the electronic element to the band.
Came here to say this. Fits so perfectly with the vibe of that game.
@@AduderReviews I love how the opening to Parasite Eve immediately evokes the cinematics of that PS classic.
okay
Not the first time they have a connection to Kojima. Shadow moses was a reference to metal gear
Idk why everyone hates the closer. It's actually my favourite overall, the amount of emotion packed into it is insane and both singers are at their peak vocally here.
because its not in anthony's taste and everyone else just parrots what he says. its my favorite too tbh
lol rockheads sometimes just go like lol no guitars bad song, you have to have a wider taste to appreciate that one
@@belanagy7003 or like when metal heads are like "not heavy? Sucks" lol
Ballads rely on the voices to work more than any other song.
If you love Amy Lee’s voice it works but if it’s meh to you then it won’t.
I think Amy Lee has an okay but not great voice so it’s okay to me
Well, I'm also not a fan of the piano ballad mood that the song starts with. After listening to it some more I did get more used to it
We get it melon, it’s a great album. Stop dm’ing me the link to this video.
Your mustache looks like Houdini would pull a rabbit out of it.
Damn, can’t believe Bring Me the Horizon released two EPs this month. Incredible!
Two?
This was the only new one
@@rossmusic25 its a joke cause he reviewed it twice
bmth absolute mad lads, released two albums with the same name and got two 8’s mfs got away with it!

Dear Diary is also a reference to the first Resident Evil. A lot of the lyrics are pulled from the game.
Tasty itchy!
as a day 1 bmth fan and a day 1 fantano fan/watcher i've always been torn between my love for bmth and his disregard for them and what they've done (always being ahead of the curve, truly being the trendsetters for metalcore, deathcore, etc.). when the ultra pop That's the Spirit came out and he barely gave it the time of day i had given up, but this turn around to seeing my favourite project they've done in nearly a decade get an 8? an 8??? so hype. the lack of yellow flannel worried me but i had a feeling Anthony would enjoy this. Finn McKintey surely has a hand in this revelation that nobody is above some awesome metalcore, even anthony. Hell yea.
and fantano, i rly think u should give sempiternal a second chance. songs like Antivist have peak slipknot vibes galore and are even more relevant today. it's rly worth your time.
I’m gonna be honest, I think Anthony is heavily biased against certain types of music, and he REALLY needs to disclose that instead of basically talking down to people who like music that he doesn’t like. Like why did he review that dance Gavin dance album when he so clearly doesn’t get this kind of music at all xD
in a recent NME interview about this EP, oli talked about how the last song with Amy Lee is a song about the abusive relationship humans have with the earth. Amy takes the side of mother earth, and Oli is humanity that abuses and hurts the earth for selfish greed (complimented nicely by the more aggressive style in oli’s voice). It’s kind of a sweet way for oli to get some vegan-ish/environmental vibes out there and how we should care about more than ourselves and our own well-being for our time on this earth :-)
Too bad it's the worst song on the album
@@DannyBoy04101 It certainly is the worst song on the album, but I think with how the last song goes, it will serve as an outro/intro to next EP so I'm reserving my judgements until I hear the next EP
@@DannyBoy04101 i mean everyone certainly is entitled to their own opinion. It’s not banger status but i think it’s just a cool piece of music that shows how far bmth have come musically, and yea i think it’s a nice way to end the ep but another fast banger would’ve been nice too
@@DannyBoy04101 bro its one of my favourite never really got the appeal for itch for the cure
Fantano finally came around for BMTH I’m so happy😭
Hey, you should review Geowizards 16-bit Adventure album!
I still can't believe how many people know of Geowizard now
I think there was a glitch in the matrix
Check out the 16-bit adventure by Geowizard!
Amynedd 16-bit adventure, absolute banger of an album!
Sempiternal: 4/10
amo: 6/10
Survival Horror: 8/10
You see where I'm going with this?
10!
cant believe he gave sempiternal a 4, opinions an opinion but godamn it’s still so good even today
"Kingslayer" is sooo good, can't stop listening to it. Thanks to team BABYMETAL for their (as usual) awesome contribution.
Isn't babymetal that band for 40+ year old anime obsessed balding metalheads with a taste for girls that are about 20 years too young for them?
@@TheCivildecay No.
@@TheCivildecay I can't even call myself a fan of babymetal, but absolutely nobody goes out of their way to say shit like this without having _something_ to project
@@TheCivildecay Yeah that's the band he's referring to.
But they did a good job on that Collab.
This album absolutely slaps. It’s crazy how much better and more creative and innovative BMTH is compared to the other Warped Tour bands and the scene in general of late. No disrespect to those bands but BMTH is setting the trends and everyone else is just following them
I agree. I'm hoping a band like Crystal Lake can take off next but they gotta get a band like BMTH to take them out on tour.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 I’d love to see Crystal Lake get more attention. Amazing live band.
This band has been with me since middle school weirdly. I've always liked them but I didn't fully appreciate them or love them until later. Out of all the bands from my scene phase, the material they released during that time not only aged the best, but there's no other band from that scene remotely on their level
@@johnmarcdegaard6589 Phew, possibly. August Burns Red fanboy speaking here lol.
@@Rob16164 Yeah, I still have to see them.
that intro of parasite eve reminded me a lot of the ghost in the shell ost.
i've never been a fan of bmth but this record really bangs. guess i might backtrack some of their older stuff.
Definitely had an Aeria Gloris vibe from season 1 of Stand Alone Complex.
If you like this ep, definitely give Amo and That's the Spirit a go. The stuff before that is very metalcore and quite removed from their current work. I like it, but I like a lot of trashy metalcore ...
That intro is a sample from a bulgarian folk song called ерген деда. It is supposedly the inspiration for the Ghost in the Shell OST
It's traditional Bulgarian folk music, which inspired the GotS soundtrack.
That's the spirit is definitely my favorite release by them and you could possibly get into and album or two before that. I am a huge bmth fan and I love count your blessings and suicide season but I can totally say those albums from a standpoint are not very good even though at the time they were ahead of the curve
This album gave me HS flashbacks of dressing like a gangster but secretly listen to BMTH.
He must've dropped his favorite mug on his laptop and accidentally deleted the video
Bring me has been setting trends for bands to follow since 2008. They have always been 1 step a head of the curve and although some people may not have liked their earlier albums in 10 years everyone will revisit them and appreciate them for the masterpieces they are.
Ehhh that's a stretch their deathcore albums weren't much different than lots of bands at that time. I will agree from There is A Hell onwards tho
@Morbid Emperor the way you call everything BUT count your blessings cringe is so ironic it’s hilarious.
@Morbid Emperor hmm not really, I actually very much enjoy their heavy material. But you just have to admit Count Your Blessings is filled with cringe “edgy” scene kids lyrics. Like, I don’t get why so many think they’re superior bc they like CYB when it’s the most mediocre deathcore there is. Like go listen to some good deathcore at least. Or at least support Suicide Seaosn which is the deathcore/metalcore album where they actually did something interesting. Also trend hopping? Really? That’s also very ironic considering the amount of bands that actually follow in BMTH’s direction whenever they switch up their sound.
@Morbid Emperor also, you really aren’t more superior bc you like their deathcore music. This “fangirl” thing used as some kind of condescending insult is getting very tiresome. You only make yourself look ridiculously pretentious.
@Morbid Emperor I've been a fan of BMTH since 2006 and the whole CYB era, but I have to admit that album is pretty mediocre and they haven't done anything but get better. BMTH is years ahead of what they where doing at the beggining, and the whole "metalcore" scene has done nothing but follow them since Suicide Season.
So is it a light 16 now?
Will you be reviewing the election results?
@LegoGuy87 no
@LegoGuy87 Epic Own Brother!!!!!! 😇
@LegoGuy87 nah + by your logic Fantano is
@LegoGuy87 pretty cringe homie
If Trump wasn't black, he'd win
REthony UPLOADtano here
This is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time! I listened to Sempiternal but didn’t really like anything else they did. Until now. The direction they took with all their albums makes complete sense now and this album is a best of BMTH, taking the best elements of the band. Absolutely monstrous album and Kingslayer..... HOLY FUCK! I really think this is going to be a very important album going forward like Hybrid Theory once was and think this album will be a time capsule for what 2020 was like for us all.
My first listen of Kingslayer when Babymetal came in the tonal whiplash I experienced was so severe I actually doubled over with laughter, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So yeah, I listen to that song like 3 times every day now.
I started watching your videos in the middle of my scene phase back in 2012 and you giving BMTH an 8/10 in 2020 is just everything coming full circle
8/10? Is this really a BMTH album review?? Lol, good for them
"Post Human: Survival Error"
Lmao I thought it was a joke last time
Survival Error
As a person who can't live without music, I love your channel. Bring Me the Horizon to me is the best hard rock / metal band currently in 2020. That's also pretty cool you're in Connecticut, I'm in Norwalk, CT.
the spine tingling piece from the intro of Parasite Eve is Ergen Deda, a Bulgarian folk song, check out not only Bulgarian but also Macedonian and Serbian folkore for some similar sounds, the music is very underappreciated in the world, IMHO unfairly so
You should review the 16-bit adventure
Can't believe Bring Me the Horizons got two 8's in a day.
so good he reviewed it twice, thanks melon
rewatching this after listening to Nex Gen
"This album was so good, I think I'll review it a second time!"
Hey Anthony , you should definitely review "16-bit Adventure" by Amynedd , it is a very interesting electronic album
They want to release 4 "Post Human"-EPs, with every EP going in a different stylistic direction. That's why they didn't make it longer .
He uploaded it twice. This means this album is a 16/10
as someone who went trough all the bmth stages i still love it that ep is 10/10 so good
Would love a review of 16 bit adventure by Amynedd!
actually, this album has brought alot more fans back to the band as opposed to losing them as you said
the fact that he reuploaded the video just to fix the mistake... we love u melon
hearing that u loved Teardrops really makes me wonder: what are ur opinions on Hybrid Theory & Meteora?
They are not technically making Albums anymore. And man, I loved all of it! Despite you not seeming to be the biggest fan. KingSlayer definitely caught me off guard. It was AMAZING!!
Teardrops is the most Linkin park i have ever heard since,.....Linkin Park?
Giving Sempiternal a 4 was the most off Anthony has ever been
Amynedd 16 bit adventure!!!
As it pertains to heavy music Anthony and I seem to always be on different plains, I am shocked that we are actually in agreement for a BMTH release.
My fav songs off the EP are “parasite Eve” & the collab w/ Amy Lee “one day....” - I just think they’re both so beautiful for completely different reasons. The collab with Amy is so unique & dark & heavy without actually sounding heavy, just the lyrical content & that ending is amazing! Cant wait for EP #2
All those references to 00s Nu-Metal is everything the nostalgic little kid in me ever wanted.
BMTH have said this is the first of 4 EP’s coming out over the next year, and I am HYPED.
This the more unexpected review of Fantano's history
Nah that was Trench.
GeoWizard!
Did this guy tell his fans to spam this in the comments here?
I've been listening to them since 2005 and it's interesting to see how they have evolved. Oli's voice is recovering greatly.
BMTH is one of the few bands I like that's actually relevant.
It's good to keep in mind that Ludens was written in 2 days (iirc) to go into death stranding, i feel like if they had more time to grow the track, it would be the second best on the record.
Personally that one’s my second favorite only to Kingslayer. I know it’s messy but I actually kind of love how it touches on their electropop, alt-metal and metalcore phase all in one song. It’s a pretty unique creation
In ludens' defense: the track was made in the span of 5-6 days while they were touring.
Love every song this album. Especially Dear Diary, Parasite Eve, and Butterfly song with Amy Lee. Such a great EP.
Anthony! Get onto geoguessers new album. It’s called ‘16-but adventure’
Geowizard*
Kingslayer makes me so happy.
This record hits literally every nostalgic nerve in my body in such a perfect way and I LOVE the video game references (itchy scratchy, etc.)
Also... was the duet with Amy a sequel to Evanescence's "Even in death?"
Is that song a reference to Parasite Eve the game?
Yeah it is. The lyrics also contain a reference to resident evil i think
Absolutely, and the album is called Survival Horror. Also, "Itch For The Cure" is a reference to Cure For The Itch from Linkin Park. Edit: Also, I just realized the line "If the suspense doesn't kill you. Something else will" was a tagline for RE2. Man, I'm really digging this album.
Dear Diary, is pretty much a love letter to RE
@@miserirken I didn't pay attention to the lyrics of that as close as I could since I'm listening to the album at work. I'll have to give that one another listen. Thanks for the heads up.
It is, and Dear Diary is a reference to the first Resident Evil
I remember commenting how much I was shocked by the sound on amo on that review and I'm now also shocked that this EP has pulled me back in. I hope, at least, BMTH keep heading into that harder direction because that's the good stuff to me. Also, Mick Gordon is God tier and while it sounds like a bit of a weird clash on paper, his production shines through.
honestly this is the best sound bmth has had so far in my opinion. For me it`s a good mix between their old heavy sound and the experimentation that has been going on in the releases of the last few years :) all in all i am happy and i would actually buy tickets again to see them life (if i could)
I love how the inspiration for them making this album was playing Doom during quarintine
Anthony please listen to Amynedd's 16bit adventure and give your thoughts on it please
I've been listening to this band since 2008, and this is definitely their best release since Sempiternal. It's been a wild ride following their progression over the years, but I feel like I'm enjoying that ride more now than I ever have.
16-bit Adventure REVIEW please!!!
God I remember hearing black and blue on music choice back in 08 and knowing I was gonna love them for a long time
Here I am now, 12 years later and still hooked
this album was so insanely surprising. i wasn't expecting anything special but i was fucking blown away by this project.
