Veil of Maya’s drummer played with my band last year when we were covering this song and it was one of the coolest experiences i’ve ever had the tremendous pleasure of having. This song, this album, and this band rocks!
These guys got more melodic. I love the new Veil of Maya. Lukas has brought out the parts of Veil that redefined their sound. It has more variation instead of just plain screams and growls through the songs. The cleans make it better. It adds variation. Disagree with me if you want. I'm an open minded person unlike most people.
***** Hmm not sure about getting more melodic man :/ They instead changed their technical/melodic riffs and weird but cool chords to mainstream ''chorus with power chords and clean vocals'' :P But don't get me wrong, VoM is still incredible tho
***** This song is great. It did get more melodic, and more in 4/4 lol unlike all of their previous work. Not much of it was in 4/4. I don't like the poppy chorus's. Which is okay I guess. They are obviously pandering to other audiences. I like more progressive music. That's just me. But I really really enjoy this song.
Dock Ness Don't get me wrong, their new material is awesome. But, in my own opinion, I actually think its a little lighter than what they've done in the past. Don't get me wrong, I like their new stuff, but I think Lukas's true strength is with his screams. I mean look at Phoenix, Teleute and Mikasa. Those were probably their more darker songs with Lukas and he handled those flawlessly. When I heard Teleute, that likely had to be the darkest song on the album. But I am wondering if their next album might be much more darker and maybe more intense. I like what they have going here, but I want to see if they can make a darker album with Lukas's screams.
Amazing song. Love it!

Showed my buddy this album when he was just getting into metal and two months later he gave me a huge flag w/ the Matriarch album art on a huge flag signed by the entire band. Just know years from release this album is considered a milestone.

Probably my favorite song of the album. I'll have to listen many many more times which I will do happily, but for now this is the most pleasing to the ear. Awesome stuff, Veil.
I don't give a damn what any of you say, this song is amazing as hell! Fuck yeah, VOM, show 'em who isn't stuck in a artistic rut, like most other bands. Love this shit!
i was really salty when brandon left and they got a new vocalist with cleans... i was a little bitch about the whole thing and refused to give it a chance and now that i did its actually good. i enjoy this album a lot, also just saw them live in Orlando and the whole band including the vocalist were great.
I am not complaining. I have listened to these guys for a really long time. So what, clean vocals made a debut in this album, at least they don't sound horrible. If you don't like the band anymore just because they added a few things in (they have to get payed and more people are liking cleans) then hit the "X", close your browser and never mention them again. Simple, yet, effective. Good job on the album guys!
Love old veil of Maya and wasn't sure about it when Brandon left but this is amazing . They truly evolved and there is no way Brandon could of pulled this record off .
First time listening to these guys. All I can say is, this album seems to have a lot more.... well, it seems like they focused on making something beautiful, rather than just appealing. I might pick up this album.
bizzarevan Not just you! I've only listened through the album twice so far but a lot of these cleans remind me of Garret. Not necessarily a bad thing... just odd
The evolution from TCMC to Eclipse seemed natural and I could dig all of those records (With a preference for TCMC). Matriarch sounds like a totally different band. Can't even bring myself to download the torrent. That said, I appreciate all the inspiration they've given me over the years, and wish them nothing but the best. Ill never forget the first time hearing TCMC or the sick ass riffs from ID. Cheers.
Marc Dunn you have no logic in your comment lol. After he left they created this new sound. Obviously THEY are happy with it because they put out the album. Honestly this album is great in my opinion. There are other djent deathcore bands you can listen to I'm sure and enjoy your life instead of bashing on this masterpiece of an album.
So many people have sent me this cause my names Aeris, and they're lile "Look its your song!" And I actually like it, hopefully can find more songs by them.

You people do realize good and bad music is actually not a matter of opinion, right? Whether you like the singing or not, it's still good. How? Because the melodic and rhythmic patterns he uses along with such technical instrumentals are very intricate. It takes a very intellectual person to do something like that, yet you ignorant people think you're so damn high up on a pedestal that you're in the right to approve/disapprove of this music. But you aren't. The sooner you all realize that your opinions don't fall under the music category, the sooner your heads will come out of your asses. FACT: THIS MUSIC IS INTRICATE AND TECHNICAL AND THAT MAKES IT GOOD, AND NOBODY'S (NOT EVEN YOUR OWN) OPINION CAN CHANGE THAT
I'd take Veil over Erra any day, and Volumes are goofy AF, but damn put periphery on Veil's upcoming tour (and boot oceano and gift giver) and that would be insane. Entheos, Veil of Maya, Revocation, and Periphery (in that order) would be a mind blowing concert, dayum.
Was a great twist to add a singer to the band or have someone in the band just start singing! Loved old vom but this is a great transition and still has there amazimg guitar work going!
Does anyone else know of other metal bands that get dreamy like they do in this song?? Thats the shit im looking for and only Insomnium has stepped up to the plate. Someone please share your knowledge of any dreamy metal bands just like thing song
Jacobl Hammonds there's a prog metal band called CHON that do some dreamy stuff, like in story, and a band/guy named Plini who does a song called "electric ____" something i forgot, lol. but they're worth a shot
Veil of Maya’s drummer played with my band last year when we were covering this song and it was one of the coolest experiences i’ve ever had the tremendous pleasure of having.
This song, this album, and this band rocks!
I like old Veil just as much as the next guy, but man.... this album is impressive.

Agreed Mario
Lennon Talbot I will say they did tone it down quite a bit. But its something new that their doing and I like what they've got going for them.

That full body shiver at the chorus. Always adored this song so much!
Still here, Insane Song.
Honestly, every band in order to survive has to be relevant and evolve with their music tastefully. Veil has done an awesome job in portraying this.
Amazing song. Love it!
Lyrics:
Have faith and you won't be left behind
Haunted by the thoughts of a failed life
Self realize
There's a message embedded in my mind
I see it over and over
Every time that I shut my eyes
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
This is the end
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
This is the end
We will live
And forgive the mistakes they've made
Surrounded with trust
We won't make the same
Self realize
I am finally awake
Self realize
I am finally awake
We fill with hope
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare

We will live and forgive the mistakes they've made
Surrounded with trust

They've only foreshadowed our own

1:52 damn his voice is really great
The clean vocals on this song actually do sound like periphery. Imo. Love their old and new sound tho.
YESS I was trying to find a comment that said this. It sounds exactly like spencer
I think I could listen to 2:56 - 3:47 forever
+sev I seriously listen to the song on repeat for that part alond
alone*
+sev me too,btw kiss me?
+sev the worst part of song :-D
+MichalsonCZ I disagree
This song will never die! Oh, wait...
lol! only the fans will get it
Too soon :-D
please explain....i don't get it
The song/title is a reference to a FFVII character
***** oh...duh im so dumb
What I love about this is it really doesn't sound like other bands it has the original veil of maya sound and a unique new sound of cleans.
finally since im a die hard periphery fan i found about these guys again. wow have they changed since its not safe to swim today. i love the change
VoM and Periphery are on tour together now!
Haveeeee FAITHHHHH!!!! This song is incredible.
These boys knew where to hit it with their fanbase, Final Fantasy 7 and a BADASS song to lay tribute to it. Amazing.
They named each song on the album after their waifus. Outside of the song title, the song has absolutely nothing to do with FF7 😂
Still one of the most beautiful albums of all time..
I fucken love this track, ones of the best 'chorus's' I've heard for a long time, regardless of 'genre'

I think that both show the depth of their musical talent. both bands have improved their lyrically and musically veil of Maya is a good band
Just a thought to my favourite flower girl... Always with us, Aeris ♥
Thank you so much for this song.
I prefer Veil Of Maya's new album over Periphery's new stuff.
Hansol Go listen to Stranger Things again! Seriously, I do like Matriarch but that song took Periphery's Juggernaut double album to a new level.
NotLogan HighestPrimate this and omega are so good
+NotLogan HighestPrimate bruh, ever heard that song live??? life changing experience, SRS
Hansol Really? I thought omega side of the album was awesome. alpha was lighter and omega had a little more edge to it. But that's just my take.
+Hansol mee too buddy!
Probably my favorite song of the album. I'll have to listen many many more times which I will do happily, but for now this is the most pleasing to the ear. Awesome stuff, Veil.
I don't give a damn what any of you say, this song is amazing as hell! Fuck yeah, VOM, show 'em who isn't stuck in a artistic rut, like most other bands. Love this shit!
i was really salty when brandon left and they got a new vocalist with cleans... i was a little bitch about the whole thing and refused to give it a chance and now that i did its actually good. i enjoy this album a lot, also just saw them live in Orlando and the whole band including the vocalist were great.
Getting Volumes vibes at 2:25 and onwards.
Great stuff!
I am finally awake....
words to live my life to.
I am not complaining. I have listened to these guys for a really long time.
So what, clean vocals made a debut in this album, at least they don't sound horrible.

Good job on the album guys!
this album is getting me into this band, was not too much of a fan with their past album but their starting to sound good
What a new direction they are going in. Amazing. These guy's should be MUCH bigger than they are
The clean vocals sound so good in this!
love their old stuff. love their new stuff. fuck yeah for variety!
badass intro, perfect final and the way that the clean vocals enter is just fucking epic! this song is just perfection
I dedicate this song to Aeris R.I.P you're watching over all of us in the life stream.
Can't say any of the album songs are my favorite but this one.. its up there
Great song
This just makes me smile because I love it so much. I love Veil of Maya
Love old veil of Maya and wasn't sure about it when Brandon left but this is amazing . They truly evolved and there is no way Brandon could of pulled this record off .
Veil of Maya songs just take me to another planet
Awesome song!
so many great albums in this 2015. this is my favourite so far, just too good
This song gets more points for not only being badass but also how this song was named after the female character Aeris in Final Fantasy VII.
His cleans are fucking amazing. I hope he continues to use them in future albums.
The name brings back lots of memories...
This song transports me more than any other on this amazing album
0:24 best riff 👌
Omg a beautiful summer song for the upcoming BLAZE
First time listening to these guys. All I can say is, this album seems to have a lot more.... well, it seems like they focused on making something beautiful, rather than just appealing. I might pick up this album.
Marc you killed the fuck out of this album, not even gonna front
Is it me or do the cleans sound like The Color Morale? (Especially the bit at the end)
I thought it was Garret at first.
bizzarevan Not just you! I've only listened through the album twice so far but a lot of these cleans remind me of Garret. Not necessarily a bad thing... just odd
bizzarevan The cleans remind me of Jonny Craig, imo.
Exactly what I thought haha. Not a bad thing ;)
For the first time in metal history, I've seen that more than 50% of comments are POSITIVE how the fuck did you guys manage to do it?
The evolution from TCMC to Eclipse seemed natural and I could dig all of those records (With a preference for TCMC). Matriarch sounds like a totally different band. Can't even bring myself to download the torrent. That said, I appreciate all the inspiration they've given me over the years, and wish them nothing but the best.

This is my favorite song on the album. The outro is so damn beautiful
sorry they didnt make the same album twice everyone
tehmisteh Holy shit.
whaddup?
Your comment was hilarious. Haha.
Marc Dunn This album is amazing, its your taste that is horrible.
Marc Dunn you have no logic in your comment lol. After he left they created this new sound. Obviously THEY are happy with it because they put out the album. Honestly this album is great in my opinion. There are other djent deathcore bands you can listen to I'm sure and enjoy your life instead of bashing on this masterpiece of an album.
Love this song and a great album best purchase ive made in 2015 music wise besides within the ruins phenomena last year...
This album gave me eargasms for days.
I wouldn't mind if they made more melodic songs like this.
Extremely catchy song. Love it
So many people have sent me this cause my names Aeris, and they're lile "Look its your song!" And I actually like it, hopefully can find more songs by them.
Coolest album art everrrr
This is Melodic Metalcore. It's amazing ;)
Cant stop listening to this album its good and fresh :)
I think this might be my all time favorite VoM song.

This sounds like erra and volumes had a baby together.
The most accurate band mashup comment I've ever read.
yung Napkin mix a bit of periphery cleans in there too
damn, I thought I was going to get flak from this comment! Thanks, haha
yung Napkin All are great bands. It would be amazing if they toured together next time.
I'd take Veil over Erra any day, and Volumes are goofy AF, but damn put periphery on Veil's upcoming tour (and boot oceano and gift giver) and that would be insane. Entheos, Veil of Maya, Revocation, and Periphery (in that order) would be a mind blowing concert, dayum.
Going to forget this even came out like most VOM since 2010. Can't wait till the new ENTERPRISE EARTH comes out so I can have something good to listen
For the one that said it sounds like erra and volumes had a baby together you're a genius because I was going to say the same big props to you
Personally, this band stands out so much more with these cleans, this dude can sing his ass off
so happy with the Final Fantasy references.
Best veil of maya song.
Was a great twist to add a singer to the band or have someone in the band just start singing! Loved old vom but this is a great transition and still has there amazimg guitar work going!
When you write a song but it's been dead since 1997.
Ryan K what gave you the right ;_;
I dont get it, who is Aeris? Only name i recognized was Deanarys cze GoT is life.
GetScaredGaming Aeris is one of the main characters from Final Fantasy 7. She gets stabbed in the solar plexis and dies.
Bennie Hill
damn well that sucks. thanks man
Ryan K FF7 HD remake announced
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Love this track!
sounds like the word alive, I love it
at 2:56 it kinda sounds R&B ish
xRECONCILEDX this makes me want a whole R&B album from them XD
xRECONCILEDX Reminds me of Jonny Craig
hints of volumes maybe, with all those calm clean moments w/that soft chopy beat going on, reminds of like erased or vahle
this is so perfect!!
yeah i fuck with this. Don't care for the haters though. lol
Amen man, this is amazing
for sure.
i don't care about genre.... i love veil of maya.... and this album is awesome.....
Best song on the album
This should be in the FF7 remake
+DarkSamuraiX1989 I agree, it's going to suck anyway.
@@Blueberrygoat92 aren’t you wrong
DAMN I FUCKEN LOVE THIS SHIT
2015, the year of bands trying new shit out!
Did everyone seriously just forget common mans collapse? Love veil of maya, but they recreate that masterpiece.
Goosebumps. :)
3:00 sounds like the ending of Never Enders by The Color Morale
That high pitched guitar at the end was very similar to the guitar in Wormholes.
Very well!
This fucking sounds good
Lucky Aerisu / Aerith on this track it really suits her beauty
Yup, this is definitely where I parked my car
I love this
My name is from the movie, and I approve of this! Although I wish I knew what they were saying lmao
This album is incredible, I don't know what's wrong with people.
Fuckin love this song
Rip old VoM.. :'(
Does anyone else know of other metal bands that get dreamy like they do in this song?? Thats the shit im looking for and only Insomnium has stepped up to the plate. Someone please share your knowledge of any dreamy metal bands just like thing song
Jacobl Hammonds there's a prog metal band called CHON that do some dreamy stuff, like in story, and a band/guy named Plini who does a song called "electric ____" something i forgot, lol. but they're worth a shot
