Facts

*Aspiring songwriter:* So yeah, how do you approach songwriting? What's your secret sauce? *This video:* Always start with a sick breakdown, then work-out your song forwards and backwards from that breakdown. If you're not feeling the breakdown, you're not gonna feel the rest of the song.

I've been waiting for this vid

These are always great way to find new bands to listen to

Merry Christmas dude, thanks for all the effort and passion you put into this channel, it is so much appreciated. Stay safe!

Yeeeaaahhh!!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🖤 Thanks Nick!!

This is one of my favorite videos

i cant wait to watch my fav funnyman do funny breakdowns

So glad to see you included 'sickness unto you,' one of the most underrated songs of 2020 imo

Cant end the year without a end of the year video from you

Aye! Mans threw in before I turn 🔥🤘🏽

DUDE YOU PUT TALLAH ON HERE! Hell yeah! Tallah is sick

Bro thank you for throwing in Before I Turn. One of the most underrated bands out there.

Glad to see Before I Turn, Cohen, and To The Grave in this. They are incredible

Nik, this list of mostly obscure metal is THE BEST! I added every album from every artist in this video to my library. I swear to fuck, they’re gonna be the best additions this year!

Besides the fact that these breakdowns are superbly selected, I want to point out how clean the playing is and that this is one of my main sources of new music. Breakdowns are love, breakdowns are life.

So glad to see Rogue on here ❤️

thx for including LANDMVRKS!!(best breakdown)

Super stoked to see Tallah on here!

Never heard of Dexcore before this video, been obsessed with Dragout. ever since. Thank you for the introduction 🤘🏼

Nice to see Before I Turn on here! They need more recognition

You cut the heavy part of pray for rain's breakdown. Love that song

Animals by Architects has a freaking chugging breakdown. I like this one a lot lol. Either way, excellent video as always, Nik!

damn wasn't expecting before I turn!

I'm still obsessed with that sickness unto you breakdown, it just kept getting better and better

Props for including tallah, led is a pretty sick breakdown.

Anyone that watches this needs to check out Cohen, it's a solid band and my boy Nick put his heart and soul into that stuff.
