Scrolled way too far to find this

1) welcome to THALL -about time 😁 2) they have two vocalists -hence the seemingly layered effect at times. 3) pronounced vild-jarta (=wild heart) 4) this band is very much influenced by Meshuggah, but for me, the only band perhaps heavier than the latter by virtue of their more organic as opposed to mechanistic (rhythmic) sound.

Dimman Från Lutzen! \m/

It's a duet. There's 2 singers. Each with his growl type. One is more classic "fry" scream. The other is much deeper. Comes from the diaphragm or whatever. The one you can't understand a single word but adds so much to the style. It's not a single singer... Re-listen to it, you'll see... :) Also : this whole album is a concept album. A story. A dark, twisted, horror version of Alice in Wonderland. (or that's how I feel it at least) This is the intro song. Basically : down the rabbit hole. (Again, that's how I see it) And the song ends with "You will never see the light again NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU NOW" (with both singers going together for the last part)... gives me the chill every time... ALSO : Cult of Luna : do Cygnus ! It's from one of their last album. The whole album is made in cooperation with an external, female singer : Julie Christmas. This song if the finale. The AWESOME finale. There's so much to say/feel about it... !

Oh I love Vildhjarta! All These Feelings is one of their best songs

THALL! This album was a bomb in that years, very low sound in the guitars and two guttural vocalists, damn heavy as fuck. Swedish bands are very talented and well produced. My personal djent suggestion: After the Burial - "Berserker" (2009 version) Just a classic in this subgenre. PD: Cult of Luna? I love this channel.

Geebz! You gotta check out toooo many new Vildhjarta songs from their new album cause it is insane! Just to pick a few though I would say go for "passage noir" "heartsmear" or "paaradiso" since those seem to be what i'm listening to the most.

There are a few bands on this planet that can beat me to pulp and VILDHJARTA is one of them. Their riffs feel like hypnotizing waves, so powerful! Together with MESHUGGAH, UNEVEN STRUCTURE and HUMANITY'S LAST BREATH they demolish EVERYTHING in their path. Cool vid Geebz and your I AM BEING BLOWN AWAY-expression was very entertaining.

Would've never expected to hear Vildhjarta on this channel. Super stoked to check your reaction out!

For me, these melody switches are like a journey in the ocean. One minute it's chill, beautiful, and haunting(?), and another moment there is just a storm of chugging that crushes you and you can't do anything about it.

Awesome to see Vildhjarta on here! Probably my favorite band tbh. Can't wait to see this

I would to see you an album reaction in this type of format

After years of vildjharta.. it’s still physically impossible not to break my nek head banging to this stuff. It may take a couple of listens before you can appreciate it though. Good stuff on the channel btw 👍🏾

These guys are set to drop another album sometime this year or early next. The three singles they've put out so far are all amazing tracks. Definitely recommend checking one of them out if you want to see the sound progression of this band. Their old EP, Omnislash, is also a great listen. BTW, there are two vocalists on this album, so if you're hearing some layering or different styles of vocals, much of that is attributed to there being two of them, and they have fairly different styles. The music video for Dagger kind of showcases a bit better how they trade off and work together, since you can see them each performing specific parts and growling/screaming together.

Surprised and happy to see this on the channel. Had the pleasure of seeing these guys live in the US in....2013...? maybe 2014? Really cool band

One of the most evil sounding band I've ever heard. Something about their clean guitar ambiance and interval/chord choices with the distortion just does it fit me. If you revisit them I hope you'll do their song Dagger. Also worth mentioning is Uneven Structure, who fall somewhere in between these guys and Tesseract/Monuments. Frost would be a good song from them.

So many awsome bands and songs in 2021 but their are two bands that just is on another level Vildhjarta with their tracks Toxin and Kaos 2 Rivers of Nihil with their tracks Clean and Focus

Awesome reaction! I love vildhjarta because they really challenge the necessity melody within music- either an absence of or a strongly dissonant melody. Love their ability to create such a broody atmosphere. It’s kinda like the dark fast moving clouds right before a tornado- you know it’s coming and it’s gonna hit hard…but, they give you something to hold onto with the 4/4 driving heavy on the crash. As you’re getting into some HEAVY stuff (I’m sure your list is LONG) I’d recommend called Batushka- Yekteniya I: Ochishcheniye. They’re a cool Russian orthodox inspired black metal band. I think you’ll find them interesting.

such a timeless band, love that you checked them out!!! highly suggest their song Den Helige Anden, to me the best song of 2019, Vildhjarta are pure masterminds, THALL

All these feelings or den helige anden by Vildhjarta. Get a longer track of theirs on here. Thanks for the video!

Excellent video Geebz. Was waiting for you to do a song off this album. I really love how you’re getting a feel for the varied growling techniques in metal. Too many people, even those who claim to listen to metal, write off all extreme vocals as sounding like Cookie Monster. Please do something from Tallah. Preferably “No One Should Read This”. Their album Matriphagy is in my opinion phenomenal, the music itself and the engineering. I think they have one of the most if not the most versatile vocalists in metal today, Justin Bonnitz. And Max Portnoy(son of Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater) is an explosive drummer. Thank you!

Ahhh Drop Balls. My favorite tuning

Love the reaction, I hope you get around to some of their newer stuff, I.E den helige anden or even some of their newest releases.

You ought to check out their song Dimman off the Thousands of Evils EP. About 2/3rds of the song is clean acoustic like tones but the like twinkly etherial stuff is layered with deeper chuggy riffs but acoustic and its interesting how the difference in instrumentation takes the same kind of melodies and rhythms in their heavy parts and makes them feel totally different. Then after the "Acousti-Djent" part a heavy crushing distorted section finally crashes down in, with a stripped down clean guitar over top playing an eerie descant. Their ability to carry themes throughout the song and keep spinning them different ways before finally unifying all the motifs into a single climactic phrase/arrangement for the final part of the song. you saw it in this one too, acoustic intro->heavy riff-->acoustic interlude-->heavy riff crashes back in for a layered section with the two themes and textures juxtaposed. Pieces that don't sound like they'd fit together so neatly when you hear them individually and then when they all fall into place together and the realization hits it knocks you back in your seat.
