This album is absolutely ridiculous 💣 Next up is ‘Dig Deep’ by After The Burial 🪦 💥

The last song is about his puppy, Birdie, that unexpectedly passed away while writing this album. Really makes the whole thing so much more somber and heartbreaking

Currents - The Place I Feel Safest Dark lyrics, insane instrumentals, one of my favorite albums of all time. Progressive metalcore at it's finest, you'll fall in love with it

If you love silent planet, you should really check out what I consider to be their brother band in terms of overall sound and atmosphere, Currents! Their most recent album from 2020, The way it ends is in my mind a masterpiece.

i only disovered silent planet a few months ago and theyve already become one of my favourite bands. The depth of the lyrics and the passion of the vocals is just insane. Panic Room, Terminal, The New Eternity and Trilogy hit so fucking hard.

What incredible editing on this video! So glad you showed footage of Alex the drummer. He’s such a beast, showing such skill and technique without resorting to strictly speed

That breakdown in Panopticon changed my fckn life. So happy to see you enjoy that song as much as i did the first time i heard it. Thats my go to SP workout song. Easily one of my most played tracks this year.

Man watching you fall in love with Second Sun was so awesome. This band is so amazing and deserves all the recognition they get

Iridescent is an amazing album, and its a really good evolution of what the band was, but in my personal opinion their 2018 album '' when the end began'' is by far their best work and its one of my favorite metalcore albums of all time , you should definitely check it out man !

"It's always red, the static in my head" Probably one of the best pre-breakdown lyrics out there. That said, Second Sun, the Sound of Sleep, and Terminal are probably my faves off this phenomenal album. Especially those cleans on Second Sun. The Sound of Sleep, this might seem weird, has always been a sister track in my head to Northlane's Jinn. Both have that climactic feel, but with the some pretty hefty lyrics.

This is one of my favourite metalcore albums ever, it's so good and fun from start to finish!

loved this vid mate. only knew trilogy to begin with so clicked just to see you listen to that but ended up staying because the rest of the album was so good too

Long time metal head, but with kids and family and whatnot have not discovered much new stuff lately. This is AWESOME. I want to dive DEEP. Where do I start?!

So glad you did this one man! One of my favorite albums from last year. It's an absolute masterpiece.

I love Silent Planet so much

Definitely one of my AOTY from 2021, I'm so glad you enjoyed Second Sun the most, that chorus is so catchy

Its really fun watching someone experience that magic we got hearing this music for the first time. Drew lighting up is precious. Like I cant go back and hear these albums that are so precious to me for the first time, but I can await a DF video and be like "I remember that feeling"

One of my favorite albums of last year. The title track is unreal

if you like critics of society etc. i recommend you the band While She Sleeps, especially their album You Are We which is a lot about this it's less heavy i'd say but what i love is that every song they create are anthems it's incredible

So happy you got listen to these guys! Iridescent was definitely one of my favorite AOTY for 2021. You should definitely check out their other albums! Everything is Sound def my fav!🤘🏼

Massive production value you put into this video. Really appreciate that

Love it here, reliving the magic of metal 2021 through you man🙌🏾

They technically have 3 clean vocalists. Their screamer does some cleans, their guitarist does some in a few songs, and their bassist did them in trilogy but had done most of them in previous albums until taking a step back this album

This is still one of my favourite albums to date! I can still easily listen to this all the way through on repeat.

An album that touches on a lot of the things that things like Panopticon touch on is The Uncanny Valley by Deadlights. An incredibly unique, bouncy, riffy, catchy, lyrically interesting album. Really slept on by the metalcore community. Also super surprised you haven't gotten to Invent Animate yet. All their albums are fantastic and seem up your alley. Really groovy, catchy and heavy.

Hype. Been waiting for this

Iridescent is definitely my favorite song on this album, it always makes me think of my aunt that unexpectedly got sick and passed away. It will forever be the song i listen to when im thinking of her

Seen these guys live in 2018 with ABR. I knew they would blow up because they had such a unique sound, great stage presence. Ive listened to this album so much over the last half year. Literally every song is top notch but Panopticon, Terminal, Second Sun, Translate the Night and Sound Of Sleep are probably my favorites. Great reaction as always Drew! Stoked for whatever is next.

Love to see it, definitely one of my favorite bands next to Loathe and Periphery. They just keep getting better too, with significant growth with each album. I dont see Silent Planet slowing down anytime soon. Edit: Garrett is one of the best vocalists in the business. Nasty screams, deep and moving lyrics, and some of the sickest flow in the industry. This guy just knows how to write words to a song Another edit: I see you banging that head to Second Sun, basically my same first reaction. Such a banger of a song, but sad that its one of the least played songs on that album :( alright no more edits, watching the rest through . Love the vids Drew, keep it up my man

If you love the lyricism in this you really need to check out Everything Was Sound. It’s arguably their best and definitely their deepest record ever. There are less hooks on it but it’s an incredibly amazing album and Garrett kills it on there as always

So pumped when I saw you hit this one, one of the best things to come outta 2021 🙌 found your take on the vocals interesting in terms of him letting the harshness drop out on certain words, something I personally love (and think Flo from LANDMVRKS is a beast). Reckon Sam Carter was one of the first I really heard nail that technique. But Garrett is honestly one of the best I’ve ever heard do it. Surely Polaris soon, either album works but personally The Mortal Coil wins for me 🤟🤟

Great review man! I woulda givin it a 9. It’s up there with the best!🤘🏻💯

Garrets voice “breaking” is basically him doing like a slam poetry voice, he’s basically reducing the air flow so he doesn’t do his full fry scream. Flo from landmarks is his normal voice coming through at the end of his scream cause of airflow reduction as well

absolutely honored to be one of the 100 Patrons, Drew! absolute unit of a creator!

to landmarks : you really should listen to their first album : Hollow , their best without any doubt ;)

Yo Drew! Just wanted to say that your recent album reactions were a treat to watch and listen along to. Keep em coming! 🤘 Much love from Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Anhedonia is the perfect quintessential metalcore song for me

Amazing video for a jam of an album 🤌

Coming back to this video, after coming back to the album many times This album is special. It reeks of a dystopian, yet so very real despair that I've only ever heard from currents And even then, silent planet has such a more ambient feel

Been waiting to see you do this one. I fucking love silent planet!!

Fun fact, lead singer Garrett Russell has been dubbed 'the nicest guy in metal music' and is such a wonderful human being.

The Way It ends by Currents! Banger of an album!! It's their latest album and of my favorite albums of 2020/2021, I highly recommend this for you next!🔥👌

Awesome reaction!! This album was my intro to this band and I loved it first listen!! 8.5 is a perfect rating for this one

Droppin in and chillin out to the reaction to an album that, Id known notting about before. As with most of the bands in this genre, I like the swells of synths, and nice guitar effects during the more ethereal clean tone passages. Not really me own cupán tae as such, but good analysis and musical notes by yer good self along the way.

This is my first time listening to this album by Silent Planet and I am very intrigued. I will give this another listen but it has the right energy and mixes heavy with clean and deep(er) lyrics. Nice.

Fun fact; in the song Panopticon, if im not mistaken (dont quote me word for word) but the entirety of the guitar parts of the song were all recorded on a bass guitar by the bassist!

you totally gotta listen to their old albums, all good stuff especially the night god slept and everything was sound wich i both consider masterpieces

Love silent planet …top 5 band for me …..and Garrett is cool as hell man …

Garret is one hell of a artist and they have been in my top 10 for some time. Glad you got to hear this bet this wont be the last time lol.

I’m sure someone has said it but Panopticon has zero guitar in it. The “guitar” part is actually a bass! I think the story is they put guitar strings on a bass and recorded the guitar part like that. Then they used a regular bass with bass strings for the actual bass part. I probably explained that horribly but still insane nonetheless 😂

i knew that outro would get you 🤣

All Silent Planet albums are fantastic. One of my fav bands. This album is metalcore AOTY for me

If you like this sound, I'd recommend Oh, Sleeper (who are probably the pre-cursors of it). "Son of the Morning" is a masterpiece of an album with an amazing concept.

Cool stuff. I actually grew up with Starks dad. Super proud of them

Trilogy comes up, I quickly remember you've never heard it ...*excellent*

One of my favorite albums of last year. Garrett said Deftones and Loathe were big influences on this album

Drew, you googled the term Panopticon for clarification and it's a really cool term. You should listen to the album Panopticon by the band ISIS. One of the best (Post Metal) albums of allllll time. A damn classic. Hopefully one day you'll react to it.

hey man, what about Reflections - The color clear (2015)? Did you heard that one? I would love to see your reaction, because my reaction was... well... I was unspeakably impressed I plan on spamming every post about this album as it is one of the most impressive albums of my life. the epitome of dark, thought-provoking progressive metalcore with many influences

Great album. Glad you seemed to enjoy it, been one of my faves. Speaking of faves, what is that album you have hanging on the wall in the back that you gave a 10/10? Cheers

Ooooooh. So, a little backstory. Alex, the drummer, mentioned that this album’s lyrics were very personal for them. All of their previous albums were more about world issues, but this was more about mental health, car accidents, losing your pet, etc. Except for Alive, as a Housefire which was inspired by the BLM movement. Would highly recommend listening to their previous album When the End Began because it’s quite a different vibe overall. Lyrics are just as deep too. Really in all of their albums the lyrics are unmatched.

I think you'd quite enjoy the new bleed from within album.

Silent Planet just hits me so hard. Been feeling apathetic with a lot of heavy music recently and this shit is waking me the fuck up

Panopticon is also the best album by Isis

Till We Have Faces is ridicolously good

AOTY 2021 for me.

Slant Plant has easily become my favorite band of all time, seriously. Such an amazing band. Garret is a sweet person, I got to meet him in a concert and he's so attentive, so kind, and so sweet. Wished I could've seen him again, too bad their northlane your got cancelled

I really think that you should've gone with their 2nd/3rd album. Glad you checked them out anyway!

Dude listen to Love Language by Windwaker, or even better their Empire EP. They are so good.

PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO INVENT ANIMATE !!! GRAYVIEW ALBUM OR THERE OLDER STUFF OR ANYTHING FROM THEM PLEASEEEE

Might aswell give this a goo before it's taken down 🤣🤣🤣

Currents !

You should do structures album none of the above

I fu**ing hate the sun. 😠

cant wait to 2100 to see it in top 100 albums of century

"Bastard son, what did the sun do to these metal bands?" Mate I've lived most of my life in deserts and I hate that bastard. Brought to you by Luna Gang Edit: And yes its a great time to be a metal fan :) Great video Drew

Dude u gotta check out new Slipknot song Yen. I know you said that you don't really enjoy them as much anymore but this one a little different and more creative.

You have to do a Polaris - Mortal Coil reaction at some point. Along with Silent Planet they are an absolute top tier metalcore band with extremely high quality vocals + instrumentals.

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN IHLO - UNION !!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

Archspire my dude, it's time. Especially as someone who at one point listened to rap I think you'd appreciate the vocals.

If you lived in south Florida you would understand that whole sun ordeal

Where's Till We Have Faces??... wasn't that song in this album too??

What's the name of that 10/10 album on your wall?

You have no idea what you've stumbled upon. This band is ridiculous. Hanged my life for sure. Check out their old stuff

ahhh silent planet, a band so fekin smart, this is the first album where the lyrics from each of their videos *didn't* have footnotes.

havent heard anything from these guys yet

Hey ! Can you react to Ethel Cain’s new album Preacher’s daughter pls

THANK YOU for acknowledging the kind of out of tune vocals that vocalist brings in this band. I've said the same thing for a couple years now and everyone I've spoken to about it is just like "got no idea what youre talking about bro.." seriously? how do you not know..? anyways.. Same with Landmvrks yes.. just thanks for speaking about that lmao 🙏 , it's the reason why I can't get much into this band or Landmvrks. I call those vocals Shaggy vocals, cause sounds like Shaggy from scooby doo LOL.

How are you a metal enthusiast and a channel dedicated to metal music and you haven't ever heard a Silent Planet song? Like, how is that possible?

So bad I saw them live before this album

I think trilogy is the best metalcore song ever written.

Smells like a gay version of Vildhjarta

Fun fact; in the song Panopticon, if im not mistaken (dont quote me word for word) but the entirety of the guitar parts of the song were all recorded on a bass guitar by the bassist!
