I love how for one of your first taste of the extreme side of metal, you chose probably the fastest band on the planet🤣 All the members of this band are elite.

Archspire won the Juno(Canadian Grammy) for the Metal category. Dean Lamb is a guitarist from Archspire and has a funny youtube channel.

What's amazing is that Archspire's lead singer Oli is enunciating everything even at that speed. You can tell if you slow down their songs.

That face you make when listening to Archspire for the first time😆😆😆 Stay Tech🤘

The absolute look of disgust on your face throughout the entire song is just wonderful 😂 everyone's got there own version of the "stank face" whenever Archspire comes on

Archspire is pure skill. They are elite. Its a shock for people not used to metal to pick up this band to listen. For people used to metal, this is like a honeypot.

The level of skill of everyone in this band is just insane. Fun fact: Their singer Oli did work with Jason Momoa (who is a fan of the band) to help him do some sort of war cry in the tv-show "See". Oli and Spencer, the drummer, can also be seen as 2 warriors in the first episode of the show.

Its great seeing someone experience Archspire the first time. I discovered Archspire with their first Single for this new Album and im listening to it almost every day since then, because its such a firework in my brain.

This is one of the only bands that I can listen to, that makes my brain sound quiet by comparison. It's soothing

These guys are so super technical🤯 Drone corpse aviator is another must watch from them

Watching this video as it is a year old. Either way, as a long time fan of death metal, it's always refreshing to see someone immediately understand that metal music isn't just noise or takes no talent. She really gets it. THANK YOU, ROSALIE!!! and yes, this is definitely my therapy. I'm normally a pretty even-keeled person. Death metal would be why.

Randomly stumbled upon your channel. All of archspire's lyrics are based on an original sci-fi story that are based off of the lead singers dreams. This song is from their third album, so there is a lot of lore leading up to this song. In a nutshell, A.U.M is an alien organization that is trying to infect the Earth with doppelgangers. Boanets are creatures that spawns these doppelgangers with it's golden mouth. Boanets are created when pregnant humans are infected with a black sludge called "onyx." When humans look at onyx they go insane because it is a finite material that has properties of infinity, and their minds can't comprehend that. This song is about boanets spawning doppelgangers after A.U.M has started infected pregnant people with onyx.

Thanks so much for checking these guys out! By far, my favorite band. I hope you return to archspire and technical death metal as a genre

Canada is one of the best birthplaces of Tech Death, a lot of quality bands came from Canada

Those baby headbangs were so cute, keep practicing, you'll get there soon young padawan.

From what I understood in the album documentary, the whole album is a concept album about giving birth to a monster. This weird monster dislocates his jaw or something and bites the inside of its mouth , releasing a golden liquid. And if people look at it they see the future. (Hence the title: "Bleed the Future"). Maybe I don't remember It perfectly but I'm pretty sure it was something like that. The vocalist got the idea from a dream if I'm not mistaken

Olies lyrics are bonkers. This is definitely a wall of sound that needs re-listened to a few times. You pick up things you didn't before. And their live show is awesome. It's not for everyone, but this cranked through some quality subwoofers and it's a beautiful ride, anywhere. 🤘🏼

Season of Mist is a record label. They have a lot of great artists on their lineup. Also, I saw Archspire live and they pull this off live. It’s incredible to watch. Like going to watch flying trapeze artists.

Their “Calamus will animate” karaoke video is absolutely hilarious :)

I never thought you would go so soon in your metal journey with some quite "advance" listening, before your ears can get used to. After 10 years being a metalhead, i started to explore the extreme subgenres & with time i even came to relax with the brutal ones. Before, it was to fast and rough for myself. Slowly it's like i learned where to breath to be able to take it in & release tensions. Archspire is what we call Technical Death Metal, often abbreviated to tech death, with particular focus on challenging, demanding instrumental skill and complex songwriting. Vocals often adopt the guttural sound of death metal. The music is often dark in nature. Some of the distinct features of this genre include dynamic song structures, complex and atypical rhythmic structures, abundant use of diminished chords and arpeggios, frequent employment of odd time chord progressions, and constant use of string skipping on the guitars. Bass lines are usually complex ( often fretless), and the drums are extremely fast-paced with abundant use of blast beats and other extreme drumming techniques. The tech death metal genre has also been influenced by mostly jazz fusion. The Metal scenes have so many subgenres; Heavy Metal is like Classic Rock for Metal. Examples include Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen. They are the traditional Heavy Metal but still differ in terms of instrumentation, tempo, song structure, vocal style, lyrics, guitar playing style, drumming style, and so on. LedZep - Hard Rock, Iron Maiden - British Wave of Heavy , Black Sabbath - Doom. The major subgenres that came from Heavy Metal are: Thrash, Death, Black, Power & Progressive... Then also, many other subgenres by mixing them together or including other kind of music: Melodic, Symphonic, Folk, Industrial, Groove(Funk), Neoclassical, Gothic, Grindcore, Metalcore, Deathcore, NuMetal, Stoner...

The funny thing is that technical death metal is deeply rooted in classical music. The fact that you're craving to listen to it is no surprise. For me the music in metal is all about the power and the imagination. It reminds me a lot of dragonball where the main character goku seems unfathomably strong but turns out there is always a new roof to shatter that you never even knew could exist. Music does help me feel better if I'm feeling down but it mostly affects me on a creative level than it does emotional. I think this is also the reason why I can listen to it at any time of the day and night, I've even fallen asleep to some of their albums (intentionally, not out of boredom)

I love watching the face of peoples' first listen to anything from Archspire. It's almost always just one of shock and awe 🤣

I fkn love these boys. Comedy, Artistry, Great showman and can hold their liquor 👌

I love how open you are to different types of music ❤

Archspire is top of the metal game. been my favorite band for 10 years and i stand on that to this day 🤘🏼🤘🏼

"I'm going to put on subtitles". The lead up to playing it had me laughing knowing what the band is about.

Absolutely check out their music video for "Drone Corpse Aviator"! They go even faster and the video production is great!

Your reactions were awesome. They are jawdroppingly amazing. So good. Im certain you listened to more off camera.

"all that i know so far, from what i could tell, is that it's heavy metal." LOL

That's pretty much the reaction I expected, whoever made this request, I salute you. "I don't understand a single word he's saying" pulls up the lyrics and probably gets even more confused. Incredible. This is future classic music only instead of a full symphony orchestra it's just a couple of ridiculously talented guys fucking shredding

Archspires definitely what id call the deep end of metal. One of my favorites currently but definitely not for everyone. Thanks for having an open mind about something so different to what you're used to.

Your reaction was Awesome. You really felt it near the end hey 🤘

Art is made to make you react. They nailed it

The speed. The technique. The entire fucking structure of how this level of metal is written is just absolutely insane. I come and go with this genre of music but god damn does it make you wanna ape out LOL 😈😈😈

Great choice of band and song! These guys are some of my favs, regarding the lyrical content, I heard that it was about aliens who come to earth, and people are their preferred food, and they have gold mouths or something, and the song is written from the perspective of someone being eaten. But overall you should never miss a chance to see Archspire live, they are so good!

😂😂😂 я тоже текст не успеваю )) парни огонь) так держать!!! Круто спасибо!

😂 Her: feeling stressed out and anxious Me: turning it up louder and head banging

Great review. Legit AF😁🤣👍👍👍👍

Haha, thats cool, I wasn‘t prepared for that 😂

For music to process grief with, I can't help but recommend Lorna Shore's Pain Remains trilogy. Amazing musicianship (deathcore with a rich orchestral vein) and incredible vocals by Will Ramos, but this trilogy really shines in video form, thanks to the sublime cinematography and storytelling. Certainly one where you'll want the lyrics on another screen or for reading after.

It's a concept album so the whole golden mouth of ruin thing is part of this lore that the lyricist created. Doesn't really mean anything as poetic and applicable in the real world, it's just another part/approach to the theme that the rest of the album also follows

Love how you cannot help but slightly headbang towards the end despite being flabbergasted 😂

My favorite car ride band for blast beats. For melancholy metal listen to katatonia, yes , react to katatonia with atrium to see what effect this band has on you.

He spits the vocals so fast I can't even keep up with them watching thier lyrics videos. Lol

The songs about the release of parasites from bleed the future. The parasites that eat your brain, then leave behind gold which is where golden mouth of ruin comes from

the story behind the lyrics and the album is a dream by on of the guitarists, Dean Lamb, where people suddenly started to give birth to these creatures, that would dislocate their jaw and bite their mouth until it was filled with their own gold blood. people would then look into the "glaring golden mouth of ruin" to see there future. that's all I remember from the making of, so I might have gotten some things wrong :)

Season of mist is the name of their record label, so it's just the youtube channel of the label if that helps clear things up. They like to sign metal bands that fit into certain types of extreme metal and/or bands that combine extreme metal with more melodic elements.

Archsprire ❤🤘😎

When you said, "what he was screaming was completely eloquently profound." I'm glad you touched on that!

Personally, I enjoy this type of music because I am a musician. I've loved music my entire life, and growing up us a band geek I had a sort of affinity for classical music as well. I love the way that so many instruments can be playing melodies and patterns at the same time that are individually quite unique. It's when you meld those layers together that the whole becomes much more than the sum of it's parts. You can listen to this song dozens of times and notice something new like a neat little drum fill or a fun thing the guitar in the background is doing or notice that the bassist plays the entire guitar solo before the guitarist shreds it back out in the top layer right after.

Very entertaining reaction video to an excellent band. Absolutely top tier in the genre. Fantastic to see @DeanLamb in the comments. If you get the chance to see them live, do it. Check out Psycroptic too. Thanks again for an enjoyable video and cool analysis from a somewhat psychological point of view.

love musical normies reacting to Archspire and getting their minds blown. i kinda had a learning curve in extreme music and I still think they are next level, so I cant imagine how this must feel.

У меня всегда слезы от этой вещи ,они богоподобны ,задрать так планку ,не каждый сможет! Они размазывают меня бластами по стене а потом хялят соляками и проигрышами я их ОБОЖАЮ! Спасибо за вашу реакцию на этих "монстров игры"

First time i heard this, and when it got to the finger tapping section, it blew my mind

Thats a concept album. They have their own lore going on and the albums are in their own horror scifi world.

This band is toungue twister after toungue twister. Learning this album vocally has been so fun and so hard. This album is multi dimmensional and a lot of this stuff is kinda referencing what people are experiencing with hard drugs and all the homelessness like we see in Vancouver and west coast but its more than that the specifics is like way deep but I'm sure Oli the vocalist would deny anything anyone says about what the album is about other than what it means to the listener. I get a lot out of these lyrics and I relate it to meth cuz of the speed I am sure there is some connection even if not intentional. But like all tech metal it's very multi dimmensional and scifi while being very meta so anyone on a spiritual path can attribute the words to their journe

They’re great to go skiing to!

Skilled instrumentals.

Great reaction! Stay tech! 🤘🏻🔥🔥

I love that by the end of the song she was headbobbing a little. The first half was her trying to comprehend what is happening. Great reaction! Check out demolisher by SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL. Should bring lots of views to your channel

I love when people do this to themselves. Been a metal head for a long time. Took a while to work myself up to this. Edit: I think she started liking it towards the end lol

bro is baffled

The song is about a dream he had. The dream was too in depth for me to begin to explain but these guys are legit

My home boys from Canada .

Don’t even front; you were starting to dig is towards the end.. I saw that head nod lol

You should check out archspire - Bleed The future lyric video.

"I think they're heavy metal" Ah, so it's going to be THAT kind of reaction. Well this should be fun!

your reaction priceless

technical death metal

You don't need to know what he's saying. Just treat the vocals as an instrument.

it is more than heavy metal, it is death metal, more precisely, archspire is one of the most technical bands around these days. you must have felt the mathematical nature of stops and starts throughout the song. I really loved your comments by the way, very objective and you do not have any prejudices about this kind of extreme metal music. keep it up rosalie🤘

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

THE GLARING GOLDEN MOUTH OF RUIN

The vocalist Oli never fails to impress me, like just from a technical standpoint his growls are ridiculously well executed and his sort of trademark scream is something that the ear immediately picks up on. hits a static low pitched growl and uses the tongue positioning much like a mongolian throat singer would to create overtones way above where he is actually screaming to get this ridiculous multiphonic growl sound, its my favorite technique to replicate, I am not a great harsh vocalist per se but I love to dabble in unorthodox vocal styles. Subharmonic and fry bass singing, metal harsh vocals, beatboxing, etc. Oli also has a lot of hip hop influences, namely Tech N9ne, one of my all time favorite rappers, and he crosses boundaries of music by using that super quick midwest chopper rap style blended with his growl to get lyrics out quickly. I can rap over most tech n9ne tracks, but I could never perform something by Archspire, his lyric writing is super complex, with tons of long words and phrases that (unlike rap) don't rhyme and seem to have no flow. The lack of flow and concise rhythm in the lyrics when you read them makes it hard to follow and even harder to form which makes it even more impressive that he says shit like "We etch in the brick with its skeletal chalk The name of the child that we're grinding to harvest" at 200+ BPM subdivisions.

4:21 your facial expression was wonderful. :-)

You were just like in shock through the whole video until the final breakdown and then you started bumping it, and I'm not even sure if you realized lol

This is one of their slower songs

They're a Technical Death Metal band who focus on speed and accuracy the Vocalist takes inspiration from Tech 9 rap style

It's probably a metaphor for television and how it's eroding effect on our minds and social behaviors

They’re so fuckin fast

Please listen to ERRA or PLINI. Great artists

I saw a video of this little old lady who teaches how to scream like that without ruining your vocal chords.

Was the show you mentioned when you paused: 'Dead to Me'? 😭

First time I watched their "Involuntary Doppleganger" lyric video, I couldn't even read as fast as he spits it. It's just the way it is.

So, it's gonna be really hard, I don't know if I'm ready for this... Famous last words xDD

It's very true that music affects our body and mind. In the days, I remember being sweaty and winded after listening to their 35 min album The Lucid Collective. I felt like I was being abducted by aliens, but somehow liked it and became a fan XD. (Of the band, not the killer aliens lol)

The look on her face is like shes watching people being slaughtered 😂

Season if mist is their European label.

Metalheads have an obsessive need to catalogue the genres thus the 1000 different genres lol

If you combine all the languages, is this what it sounds like?

#StayTech

Try Angelmaker also from Canada.

The band has eluded to the meaning of this song’s lyrics in the Making Of Bleed The Future documentary they relate on KZfaq. It’s about the trauma of birth, and basically how awful life can be. The v*lva is the golden mouth and coming out of it leads to ruin.

Season of Mist is a metal label so i assume Archspire has a record contract with them

A little late to the party, but, as a few folks mentioned already, the lyrics are mostly inspired by Oli's dreams. The albums appear to be mostly self-contained stories within an overarching (see wut I did thur?) universe/concept/whatnot. There's references to beings from alternate dimensions that can be accessed/traversed through dreams, entities passing from those dimensions into our own (the "involuntary doppelgängers" and "Boanet"), as well as even a cult ("Apeiron Universal Migration" or "A.U.M.") focused on human experimentation involving these entities. There's also psychically controlled flying zombies, apparently.

Love the reaction! Although I'm furious that you stopped exactly before the bass Solo 😡😢

Unusual but good music. I like some harsh vocals but I couldn't understand one word.

if you re morrocan check out tech death metal band SAKUYA-home town heroes!

Their song A.U.M. is at 300bpm.

don't be surprised you don't understand harsh vocals when you have never listened to ones, it takes time for your ears to get attuned to them and start picking up meaning. this ones in particular are very hard for me, but i can clearly hear that he is not mumbling but singing lyrics. besides, for me it's like opera singing, i don't need to understand much to enjoy them.
