For me the coolest parts are when they have a classical piece as ambience but then have the crazy screechy guitar match the melodies and outline the chord progressions it’s simply the coolest shit ever heard of
The only reason it's called ascension and that the intro gives you the impression of ascending, is only so they can throw you into the fiery pits of hell from higher!😂
I'll be honest, I won't be listening to this a lot, but I love that they're doing this. Finally some good fucking innovation. If someone takes inspiration from them but tones it down a bit for softies like me and adding a vocalist, I might get a new favourite band.
I know exactly what you mean. I think for me it’s because it’s so mental all of the time, it’s starts to lose its impact. If you had a band that for breakdowns or sections of songs went full blown Mirar, but not the whole time…it would be perfection.
I love some thall. Humanity's Last Breath, Vildhjarta, and Reflections. And I want to be clear. Mirar is damn good. No question. Nothing wrong with it in any way. But it just doesnt do anything for me. I get why people dig it. But just doesn't work for me. Which is ironic I suppose. Fronterier is one of my favorites right now. And I think both Fronterier and Mirar have alot in common.
It’s because people are treating this band like the second coming of Christ and like we’ve never had this exact sound before even though it’s been done to death. And this whole “this is the heaviest thing ever!” draws people in just to be absolutely objectively false and sets you up for failure. This band rocks, but it’s like 7/10 and barely unique
@@DeadTempoPromotions Calling this barely unique is going to far to the opposite side. They've created a unique sound within a genre and are moving beyond the genre itself. Reflections at this point is 60% Calle as he ghostwrites most of it. HLB is not as "thall" imo, it's more to a core'esque sound. Mirar goes more in a producer/production direction where this is just making music for the fun of it, making it wacky making it crazy as you can go. The mix of baroque with EDM/Hardstyle elements and having the Thall ambience and guitars is very unique. To each their own, if you don't like it you don't like it and you don't have to. but calling this barely unique is objectively just wrong mate.
@@Unearthlywhales I am super happy that you mentioned HLB in this sense, as I was catching myself thinking about HLB actually turning somewhere else from proper Thall sound after their 2013 HLB album, becoming more of a heavy deathcore with some elements of Thall. And after I've heard Mirar my first thought was that HLB should have been the one developing into this sound.
I understand that this masterpiece doesn't need a vocalist, but would love to see somebody like Marcus Vik of Invent Animate doing some beautiful vocals on this.
This is fine as just instrumental. I think the instrumental is too busy for a vocalist, they'd probably have to dial it back a bit for a vocalist to fit in nicely.
@fire3005 I get that, but this instrumental is so insane they don't need a vocalist. Not that vildjharta isn't insane, but the instrumentals here seem like they're trying to be their own vocals, and it works.
“…let’s see what we’re dealing with.”
*gets disintegrated by thall again*
"It's so big", bogdanhxc 2025
The most elegant concussion I ever experienced.
For me the coolest parts are when they have a classical piece as ambience but then have the crazy screechy guitar match the melodies and outline the chord progressions it’s simply the coolest shit ever heard of
are you talking about track 8?
So this the unreleased Beethoven everyone’s talking about
It's almost implausible to find a vocalist that could match the energy of this music
the guitar *is* the vocalist
They have like one older track that has vocals Im pretty sure
@@GrippySocksEsqin their song Toccata have Nikita Zhulin as vocal
What about opera singing?
Chad Kapper from Frontierer could do some awesome shit on here (especially Mavvais Œil)
This is how metal would sound to people who don't like metal
Check out Silencer. That‘s what metal sounds to people who don‘t like metal
That would be Rotten Sound. This doesn't sound like metal at all, this just sounds like overproduced dubstep.
Don't forget the lovely Methwitch.
*Monologues*
*Rounds up monologue*: "Aight, it's time to die"
😂
My face discovered new expressions while listening to this
bogdan my friejnd, some of us have been yearning for this for our whole lives, sur ses epaules and presage set that shit free.. god bless thall
god that middle section in presage has to be my fav moment of the album
The only reason it's called ascension and that the intro gives you the impression of ascending, is only so they can throw you into the fiery pits of hell from higher!😂
Earliest I've ever been. My friends don't get me when I play this in my truck lol
Darko US x Mirar collab would be a match made in hell.
Just Mirar doing Mirar things. These guys are on a whole other level, all the sound design and atmosphere is crazy
Imagine Mirar sound designing the new Doom: The Dark Ages
Could totally hear this as a Doom soundtrack
Serious Sam too
mick gordon son
100%
“This is something megatron would listen to” 😂
faux-amis and présage, omfg best two songs back to back ever
Fun Fact: Nik said one of the riffs nearly ended up being the riff for Deathphonk's SAMSON!
Is Thallstep a thing?
It is now! 😂
There's a bunch of moments on this album that are just straight up dubstep and I love it.
One of the guys in the band used to be a dub step guy
What Bodgan said about the vocals is what my brain says about Animals as Leaders when I listen to their music.
I think we should now call Mirar a new genre
Thallstep
or to be more precise, industrial neoclassical thall
Yesss so excited for your reaction to this
I'll be honest, I won't be listening to this a lot, but I love that they're doing this. Finally some good fucking innovation. If someone takes inspiration from them but tones it down a bit for softies like me and adding a vocalist, I might get a new favourite band.

Yeah, the innovators are never the ones to make it really big. Can't wait to see this evolve into a new thing
1:55 yeah thats about everyones reaction to this album
I knew the cover art looked familiar - the same painting is used on the Parkway Drive Reverence album
Guess thats the problem using famous paintings as album covers lol, still sick
the last 6 days I spend listening to Ascension, I'm calling out my AOTY for 2025, simply in love💖
I love that Mirar dips more into the EDM (you know what I mean) side of things. More flavors of Thall, please.
Mirar makes me so happy. Makes brain go brrrr
I think Mauvais OEil has such a vibe going on
It absolutely scratches the Doom OST itch that you don't hear often. The entire album just makes me happy
honestly i could see a MIRAR and Excision song working well and kicking ass
I liked this album wasn’t bad the crazy sounds an the creativity by Mirar now waiting for your reaction to Midwinter an there new ep/album thanks man
“Feels like I don’t even need any lyrics”
“Catching myself because such sensory overload”
Same bro… Same…..
New Parkway Drive show intro sounding good
all shall thall
when mirar thalls hard but the producer is like: do more weird shit.
what the album sounds like:
Part of me wants to hear vocals. Most of me wants just the music.
10:47 Bless you
These guys play so much Doom
This just sounds like my car's faulty drive belt in winter
12 am and i finally see the boggy uploading this
its like Wolfenstein / Doom in a darker dimension
Thall.
I clicked on Translate, learned something new.
this album goes hard. 👌🤘
The album cover just screams "heavy" that melted paint 🤣 reminds of the End EP.
What an intro for 2025!
Midwinter- red phantom . Please react to this band! They're amazing
OMG thx for that band❤
You should check out the new vacant home song
Dubcore? Hxcstep?
Deathstep and Avand-Garde Metal
Indeed, Mirar doesn't need any vocals. And shouldn't have any either.
I love some thall. Humanity's Last Breath, Vildhjarta, and Reflections.
And I want to be clear. Mirar is damn good. No question. Nothing wrong with it in any way.

is that some motherfucking Argent Metal
please react to the album of paleface swiss, trully beautyful
coming tomorrow!
@@bogdanhxc thanks, man! i've been following you since 2019 and i am loving your content, keep on like that!!
yes
everyone is loving Mirar but I just can't get in to it
ALBUM OF THE YEAR 🗣️🗣️
If Beethoven went insane?
I understand that this masterpiece doesn't need a vocalist, but would love to see somebody like Marcus Vik of Invent Animate doing some beautiful vocals on this.
Marcus vik would not be my first choice. Maybe Robin from Allt, just because he's already in a thall band. Not this insane but u get what i mean.
LIVEALIE
softrock as always 👁
AOTY. Year is over, thanks.
too proggy for me
It might be heavy , but sounds like crap
it might be heavy, but your ears are crap
Your mom
@Jarczenko she doesn't like this crap either
@@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco bad taste in music had to be genetic then in your case
@@Jarczenko i must admit , your humor tops your musical taste ....easy
The instrumental is great but they lack a vocalist
This is fine as just instrumental. I think the instrumental is too busy for a vocalist, they'd probably have to dial it back a bit for a vocalist to fit in nicely.
This does not need a vocalist imo. The music speaks for itself
@@lucascerbasi4518 Vildhjarta is a good example of a great of vocals and instrumentals
@fire3005 I get that, but this instrumental is so insane they don't need a vocalist. Not that vildjharta isn't insane, but the instrumentals here seem like they're trying to be their own vocals, and it works.
