Highlights:
Darko- Gantz
Paramore- This Is Why
Lowlights:
Parkway- If A God Can Bleed
New Kid Cudi album: As a longtime fan, it really stung how boring this thing was especially after Man On The Moon 3.
My 5 is
1 Lorna Shore – PR1 & 2 (it's like peanut butter and jelly for me lol if it made me cry)
2 Signs Of The Swarm – Unbridled
3 Oceans Ate Alaska – Paradigm
4 The Devil Wears Prada – Exhibition
5 Polyipha – ABC
Worst song…. I don't really gotta say it..
Fucking if a god can bleed
Reliqa is pure fire 🔥
If A God Can Bleed is a modern musical masterpiece. You guys just cannot see that right now.
In no particular order my favorites are:
Termina – Take Flight
Polyphia – Ego Death
Darko – Infinite Beauty
Lorna – Dancing Like Flames
Chelsea Grin – The Isnis
Might have been too late in September to make the list. But sad that corn fed yetis didn't at least make honorable mentions.
The fact that he mentions on #4 that it was only not #1 because of a small opinion just shows how good this month was. Ready for October!
i personally liked exhibition the least on color decay, but i still loved it. that just shows how insanely good that album is 😅
Dude I hadn't heard Reliqa that much before and just assumed they were just another overhyped generic up and coming band but just that single clip already made me dig them
I’m sorry…I just don’t see what everyone’s hardon with that ABCs song…it sounds horrid
Side note: referring to the vocals
Man, I really can't get into Reliqa. I bounce super hard off of the vocals.
I agree with the number 1! I've been listening to their new release non-stop and am very excited to follow these guys for years to come.
hoping evolving from darko is here
My top would be like this:
5. The Maine – Box In A Heart (feat. @RENforshort )
4. The Devil Wears Prada – Broken
3. Spoiler – Carousel
2. Exanimate – Cast Out Of Heaven
1. By FAAAAAAAAAAR: Lorna Shore – Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames
Worst song: Paramore – This Is Why (sorry for those who loved it), I just can't get into their hipster bloc-partyish sound.
Reliqa is something I really have to check out!
Yo I just found out abt this channel what ever happened to his girl did they break up
i really want to hear architects’ new album
Aviana, Time, The Valuator and Consvmer!
Here are my favorite songs of the month (no order)
1. Paramore – This Is Why
2. The Callous Daoboys – Star Baby
3. Holy Fawn – Death Is A Relief
4. The Wonder Years – Oldest Daughter
5. Lorna Shore – Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames
No tallah? 😪
Lorna Shore #1 for me
The new currents song is such a banger. And if I had to pick one off of TDWP’s album I think I don’t hear enough people mentioning “Noise”. Caught in my head the first time I heard it
So for me my two favorite bands came out with songs this month so I have a bit of bias. Wcar and currents. And then lorna shore with dancing like flames. And I have to put tekno train on there because man I have never just had so much fun listening to a song
Reliqa is so goddamn good
100% agree with pretty much every pick in the video, but ESPECIALLY the best and worst of the month. Parkway was an absolute tragedy but Reliqa is one of the most underrated bands out there right now. If it wasn't for your video on Bearer of Bad News I wouldn't know them myself and they've since become a favourite of mine
I'll forgive you for missing If I Were You – Wither.
Came out yesterday. Idk how much you've heard from them, but their new song is amazing. I hope to see you post a reaction.
I agree about the Lorna Shore comment..everything they've put out lately sounds exactly the same, excluding this one. This was really good 👍
Dude your reaction to 'if a God can bleed' was mirrored from mine when I listened to it in the car for the first time lmao. The title sounded badass so I was hoping for something heavy but oh man, idk what the fuck that cringy ass 'song' was. Worst song of the year!!!
I think Termina's "Take Flight" took number 1 for me. I just have not been able to take it off repeat since it released
Thoughts on your list
5. Haven't heard it
4. Haven't heard it
3. Haven't heard it. I am starting to get into them because I heard Black Honey and I have subscribed to Epitaph which Thrice are on
2. Haven't heard it
Parkway Drive-If A God Can Bleed=Unpopular opinion and hot take but I actually don't hate this song and the album Darker Still as it got me into them. Personally, I wasn't a fan but I respected them for opening the doors for Australian Metalcore to be popular and I liked songs from them such as Vice Grip, Smoke Em If You Got Em and Prey
Honourable mentions
1. Great song. UNFD never misses from what I have heard from them
2. Interesting and fresh and I love the fact that Polyphia are doing their own thing and experimenting a lot. Catchy and amazing
3. Haven't heard it
4. Haven't heard it and also haven't even listened to the album
5. Haven't heard it
6. Haven't heard it
7. Haven't heard it
8. Haven't heard it
9. Kickass tune as a newbie to Currents ! Chorus reminds me of Breaking Benjamin's The Diary Of Jane. SharpTone hasn't disappointed from what I am listening to on there as I have heard from some comments and they aren't wrong
10. Really good as a newbie to Chelsea Grin
11. Haven't heard it
1. Haven't heard it although I have heard of them.
Btw here's what albums I listened to September
Eat Your Heart Out-Can't Stay Forever
Parkway Drive-Darker Still
Until I Wake-Inside My Head
Stray From The Path-Euthanasia
Slipknot-The End, So Far
Counterparts will get AOTY this album is and will be there best work! Can’t wait for October 7th!
Darko US took September for me
Reliqa has to be my top of the month too. A lot of excellent stuff came out this month but this band is just so unique, it's a breath of fresh air in the scene. I have a feeling it'll take my EP of the year slot.
Big shoutouts to Prada, Stray, Callous Daoboys, and Dayseeker too. "Iridescent" by a bitter end. also gets a nod from me, what a beautiful track. Worst song of the month, hard to pick one off the album, but you know which band I mean lol, I'm not gonna put em on blast again.
Boundaries!!!!!
Yes man! Love Reliqa so much, and your description of them is spot on!
Love to see some Reliqa respect
Reliqa is just insane🔥Thanks for introducing me into them!
Surprised Tallah isn't on here. Shaken is an absolute rager.
