If you'd like to help support me in my future endeavours or guarantee that I definitely make a reaction video to your request I have a Patreon page here: / steveogreacts
If you're interested in my reactions to music beyond rock, you can head to my more general reaction channel over at: / @steveogreact
When I do my reaction videos I don't press pause because I don't want to interrupt the natural flow of the music as it was originally intended by the artist. I try to vocalise my thoughts in real time as I listen to the song, and then summarise my reaction afterwards.
Please do recommend songs or other artists for me to checkout in future by commenting on this video! I'm constantly on the lookout for great new music and things I've never heard before.
A Spotify playlist of songs I've reacted to and consider to be absolute bangers can be found here: open.spotify.com/playlist/26j...

Almost 1 year after I'm re watching your reaction and it's awesome. I commented about False Meridian last time. Now I'll talk about how perfect Shade Astray is. It has everything. From crunchy guitarwork, fast paced tempo and drum polyrythmns (it's insane), to the ambience, panning, SUPER CATCHY chorus, tasy breakdown and a banger of a perfect ending.

Shade Astray is outright one of my favorite songs ever, across all genres. I'm seeing these guys open for Northlane on Tuesday and couldn't be more excited to hear that one live again, along with all the stuff from Heavener Definitive. I saw them open for ERRA a couple years back and had never heard anything from them, but this time I'm going in expecting nothing but excellence. Shade Astray, Sleepless Deathbed, and How We Used to Say Goodbye have me totally goobering.

Listened three times this morning and I have to say I found myself laugh out loud as well at some parts because of the sheer brilliance. Truly an amazing album and an amazing band. Their vocalist Marcus has really taken his vocal throne on this one! It does hurt a bit that you don't like their name, I actually find it quite unique. IIRC it was in relation to their music in general. Inventing it, and bringing it to life. Nothing too original about the concept but it just fits their music like a glove, in my opinion 😊

Shade Astray was the first song I ever heard from them. Came out end of last year. I went down the rabbit hole with Invent Animate and pre-ordered this album when it was announced. When Without a Whisper came out 2 days before the album came out, I was shocked; I must've listened to it 36 times until the full album was released. I knew this would be a special album. Purity Weeps left me slack jawed. Amazing song. Amazing album.

Not only is this album amazing, these guys are also fucking phenomenal live. That’s a huge dub considering many technical metalcore bands honestly struggle with giving an “energy” filled live show but these guys somehow do it. When I saw them live for the first time I was blown away with how good they were (when they played Monarch it was like being at my first show shit was gorgeous). Vocals were fully consistent and the band never missed any notes and was jumping around like a djent band from 2013. The moment the show was over out of all of the openers I immediately went through IA’s catalogue and fell in love, I was so angry I didn’t know a lot of their material before the show lmaooo

I planned to take the time tonight to sit and listen to this entire album for the first time. I knew I was getting into something that required my full attention. I’m glad you were there Steve to make this listening experience even more enjoyable. 😊 This album is a genre on its own. HOW is it possible to combine submachine gun pounding sounds with soft ethereal melodies? Violent grace?!? So far, 2023 is proving to be the year of rejuvenation in music. I’m seriously getting whiplash from trying to keep up with all the switching of styles and changes in song structure! Your reaction sums it all up (especially during « False Meridian »). You almost have to laugh when you listen carefully to the level of musicianship. It’s absolutely insane. I’m absolutely ecstatic whenever you stumble upon something like this. I’m hoping this band will reach out to you. ❤

Nice album, thanks for your reaction. If you are into heavy music, then I have a suggestion that I just love. Prog metal group Octavision with the song "Three Lives" from the album: "Coexist" with, among others, Victor Woten on bass. Among the best I've heard in a long time. Note, no singing. Their other songs contain vocals though.

2:02 - that's when the penny dropped. I remember that feeling listening to this band and it's been on rotation every day for months. They're identical live too, saw them touring with We Came as Romans last week and I honestly feel IA should have been the headline act.

I can’t tell if this is a genuine comment or sarcasm 😅 What I noticed in the moment is that they varied the production effects on the drums quite regularly through the album depending on the section. At times, like here, it was quite subtle but definitely immediately different. Lower level of attack and yet quite precise. I can’t recall if I remembered to recap that point at the end in the review section or not. There was so much to take in on the first go around. Edit: I was looking at the wrong timestamp for my above reply. But yea, in the actual timestamp you referenced: the low guitar tones complimenting the delicate vocals and cleaner lead parts is everything to me for what makes this viscerally brilliant as a sound.
