hey everyone welcome to my channel if this is your first time here my name's matt i do regular rock and metal reactions i am also one of the guitarists and songwriters in the power metal band master sword if you like to listen to film my music i hope you'll click the link above i'm here today with another patreon reaction video uh from my patron john janz uh and he suggested a band called polyfia which i have never heard of uh so this is gonna be a completely blind reaction um i know they're a metal band um i know they're pretty popular because there's a lot of views on this video but other than that um it's gonna be completely new to me so i find that exciting i i know a lot of um reaction videos will do a bit more research uh into the music beforehand and you know i might start doing that down the line but i also just kind of like being surprised with what i see like completely surprised like i don't know if it's a male singer i don't know if it's a female singer i don't know which genre of metal it is i know pretty much nothing about this band so whatever happens um you're gonna get a very fresh reaction from me so um before we start i just want to let you know that i am on patreon uh if you'd like to back the channel i have two tiers i have a one dollar tier where you get access to exclusive videos uh polls to help me determine what i react to next and so forth and a 10 tier where you can get your specific song reacted to uh by me pretty much immediately my next recording session i usually record the patreon requests so that's an option for you and i super appreciate everyone who's backed me so far so thank you let's jump into the song this is politia with the song goat [Music] got some uh nice chime action going on [Music] i like how it's going slightly out of tune not even slightly very much out of tune oh not what i was expecting [Music] oh my god [Music] this kid could play guitar that's impressive right there i have no idea what's happening is this metal maybe i'm confused [Applause] it's so cool sounding though very fresh a lot of harmonics on the guitar i love that [Music] i like how they're weaving the electronic sounds with the like actual guitar sounds [Music] [Applause] jesus christ [Music] so [Applause] [Music] it's still all over the place like it's not really a melody yet it's so [Music] gotta give the interesting some time to [Music] shine [Music] oh my god [Music] however not heard this before [Music] like everyone in this van is a master at their instrument [Music] oh my god yeah nothing what i was expecting jesus [Music] all right that was politia with the song goat um a name which definitely lives up to the the song um holy that was one of the most unique interesting things i've listened to in a very long time um it kept my interest the entire way through even though there wasn't a lot in the way of like major dynamic changes uh it was pretty much the same groove throughout the entire thing um with kind of each instrument taking their turn showing off but it was so fantastic from a musician's point of view to see um people playing at that sort of level in a way i've never heard before i don't know what other bands play like that they definitely take inspiration from a lot of modern metal i'd say but their tone is completely clean um and it's all very rhythmic um it's not i don't know how to describe it but definitely a big on these kind of like i want to call them like micro riffs um that are kind of just like there's a lot of space in between them so they do like something real fast pause and then do another really fast thing in a very rhythmic way um very interesting and the fact that like everything blends so well together like the guitars um i i definitely heard a lot of keyboards they were all meshed in a way that sounded very modern um almost like there's definitely an influence of like electronic music in there um there's i don't know i don't know what to say about that other than uh it wowed me um so thank you john for that suggestion again i went into that completely cold and i'm glad i did in this case because um yeah i knocked my socks off amazing song so thank you guys for watching uh like i said before i'm on patreon if you'd like to back the channel i'd really appreciate that the link is in the description below um you can also like and subscribe uh of course so thank you for watching and i will see you next time bye let me show you the trees
