My 13-year-old son has been talking about this new band called Nospun for about a week. "Have you listened to them yet, Dad?" I'm continually asked. Today, I finally did, and....WOW. Absolutely blown away. Epic stuff! Problem is, you guys now have to top that...And I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to offer!!
Without any exaggeration or hyperbolic sentence, this is the most incredible thing I've listened to in 20 years of love and dedication to metal music.
You are incredibly kind! We spent a long time making this album, so we're very glad it's being appreciated!
Opus made me dance, feel emotional, laugh out loud (earwyrm is the culprit) and, generally speaking, surpised me an indefinite amount of times. I am sharing it as much as possible, even though I don't personally know many people into prog music: I almost missed this release, even though I dedicate all my free time to browsing for new music (and playing drums), what a shame it would have been. Music can be many thing, but in this case it's a testament to human creativity.
Yeah, it's really nice!
You are the Great band!
Are any plans to issue this album ON VINYL?
If Yes, when?
👍
As a fan of progressive metal (Symphony X, Dream theater, Vanden Plas, etc...) I can say Nospūn did an exceptional job! What a good creativity! Go on guys!
We love all of those groups, so that's a huge compliment! Thank you!
Thank you UA-cam algorithm. Sometimes I really like you! Amazing music here guys!
I don’t care “who it sounds like”. To me, it’s just what I need in my music. Yes I’m a huge Haken fan (and others) but now I’m a Nospun fan too. Catch my drift?
It’s fantastic.
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT HOLY HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is nothing short of incredible. I'm floored! The songwriting shines through the progressive madness brightly, and the production is immaculate. I can't stop listening on repeat, and I can't wait for more!
We self produced, so we're happy to hear you like the sound! Don't you worry 'bout a thing, we're already working on more 👍🏻
Not often but sometimes the Spotify algorithm hits the bull's eye and serves me new music right up my alley. This album is an instant contender to the album of the year. Prog-metal with lots of creativity, good melodies, great musicianship and fantastic vocals! As I am getting older I am sadly not blown away by new music as often as before. So this album lifted my sprits. I can still be blown away by new music, it just has to be really good :)
Well said. I'm in the same boat, as I'm getting older I find it harder and harder to get excited by something new so it's refreshing when something comes along that captures my attention. Well done NoSpun!
Just finished this album. I think all I need to say is thank you, Nospun.
What a band ! What an Opus ! I'm absolutly FAN ! I hear this album every day since may 2023 ! Masterpiece for life ! Love you guys !
There is no spoon indeed ... this great work of art defies belief and reality :)
As an amateur singer, I have to command Phil's singing on this debut! The range of clean vocals is already pretty cool, but the expresiveness you can wring out of those vocal cords is awesome! Love the range of emotions on display here.
The Death of Simpson is such a great song
Thank you!
@@nospun_official Ah, you wrote the song ;-)
Das fetzt! Danke an die Hersteller und Gruß aus dem Thüringer Wald.
I have no idea how you all did it but over all the years I've been passionate about music this has very quickly skyrocketed to my favorite album of all time. Can't wait to hear more from you guys.
Wow... I'm always searching Reddit for good prog-metal recommendations and found this... I'm mesmerized... This is going to be on repeat for a long time. What a debut, holy shit!
This was an absolute pleasure to listen to
Thanks so much!
not just a copy from the past or a computer throwing up
this is new REAL music and it's awesome!
Glad you like it!
Best prog record I've heard in what must be years. Some of the melodies are unreal here, no track is underwhelming or feels out of place which is insane for a 70 min album. Been playing it on repeat for the better part of two weeks now. You know prime Haken, Wilderun, Symphony X? This is up there, right off the bat. Please make another one!
I can't believe that this is a debut album! The amazing musicianship and songwriting are beyond that of any number of veteran bands. I haven't been this impressed by a new band in quite a few years. I can't wait to hear what's next from these guys.
This album give me a "SFAM" HYPE. WELL DONE!!!
The outro solo in "and then there was one" is very Petrucciesque. This album is fantastic, keep up the great work!
Pain of salvation vibes!. So im here for the ride! Love it!
This is an INCREDIBLE album! The way it tells an emotional story reminds me a little of Ayereon (The Human Equation). Excellent musicianship and composition. I've been listening to the whole thing on loop for a few weeks now. I'll be savoring this for sure, and keeping a keen eye out for anything new in the coming years!
I cannot believe this is the first time im hearing this album. A year too late but i showed this to all my friends and they were awe stricken how good it is. All the melodies and the atmoshpheric parts just hit right. The Acoustic parts are so original in my opinion its unreal. I would label you guys as Dream Theater meets Opeth and they met with Haken and Devin Townsend came along. They say "you caught a lightning in a bottle" and with this one you definately did. Look forward to hearing what you guys have in store for us in the future > :D
I was so close but yet so far behind, only 10% alive.
I am patiently waiting for you to come to London...Please come!
God DAMN this is some good stuff. I am so hooked after one listen. Consider me a huge fan already. I can not put into words how damn amazing this stuff is.
The vocals are absolutely fantastic.
I hope this takes you all far in your endeavors as it is incredible. I can hear the players behind the notes. Absolutely applaud! \m/
The players appreciate your kind words!
Asi nejlepší progresivní kapela co jsem kdy slyšel. Asi jsem už úplně vymlácenej, ale slyším tam i stylistiku Kocába, Pavlíčka, Bárty... Prostě mně to plně uspokojuje. 🤤
This is awesome. Death of Simpson is by far my favorite. I will one million percent check out your next album and this one will be in my rotation for a long time I think.
It's like Dream Theater, Periphery, The Contortionist and Meshuggah came together to summon this masterpiece. I absolutely love your sound!!!!!!
1 month after discovering this album I became completely sure that this is now my favourite album of all. I want more Nospun releases sooo much, thanks for your art!
UPD. All the same after 5 months :)
Nice Surprise! Great álbum guys!
Someone suggested this as a fan of Haken, and while I was a little sceptical (comparing a band to Haken is a big thing in my mind) but wow, I was blown away by this album! The comparison to Haken is apt (heck the last track on here could be part of the 22 minute long masterpiece that is the song Visions) but at the same time, there is definitely a unique and fresh sound here. It will take many MANY listens to truly appreciate this, I feel...
I'm literally on my first listen as I type this and I'm already so into it, so excited to hear the last track after reading this!
As I am an old prog listener from the 70"s you are incredible guys!! well done. Greetings from Greece.
Easily my favorite album in the past year, and one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. Can't wait for your next album!
This is the best debut I’ve heard since Native Construct. You can really hear the DT, Haken, SX, Pink Floyd, etc. influences, but you do such a great job of making them into your own sound. Amazing work. I’ve had this on repeat for weeks and can’t wait to see where you guys go!
SX = Symphony X?
Native Construct debut is AWESOME, so bad they quit.
Opus is the best concept album to come out since Quiet World
My favourite album of the year, so far. Also one of the best debuts I've ever listened. Prog metal at its finest!
It's fucking incredible!
Holly Molly !!!!
This is so perfect! All songs are great, no exceptions. A roller-coaster of emotions. It surpassed Noveria (aequilibrium) as the best prog album I ve ever heard. Thanks, Nospun.
A lot of great songs here; 4D Printing is my favorite so far.
Uff!, what an album we have here!...
This album is nothing short of incredible guys. I haven't been this blown away by a Progressive Metal debut in quite awhile. You can hear the heart and soul that was poured into this record. I hope people take notice of this because it deserves to be heard by anyone who is a fan of the genre. Kudos gentlemen.
Thank you for your kind words! We definitely feel that we poured a lot of ourselves into the album's creation, so we're glad that comes across!
It's like soft Opeth meets Devin Townsend meets a theatrical dream meets a carnival of insanity
omg, this is insane
That solo at 33:51 is madness. Amazing job!
Wow man, just wow!
after i hear this album, i had the same feeling when i hear dream theater for the first time 18 years ago. and now it happen again. i felt like found a treasure. thanks guys for exist and making this incredible music. now i hope, i can live longer for waiting this band making a journey of music.
I'm only into five minutes of listening to this and so far it reminds me a bit of Metropolis part 2: Scenes from a memory
This is great! 😍😍😍
Just discovered this album... sooooooo fucking good dude!!! Incredible!! Already waiting for the next album 🤟🔥
Wow, implosion overture had the most sounding to dream theater i ever heard from a band. SO GOOD and no gimmick sound.
Gracias,un magnífico placer!
Que maravilla de trabajo.... joder!!!
Metal Album for 2023
Нифига себе, какая годнотища! Прям как Девин Таунсенд!!! 🤘🤘
Thanks for uploading! I really, really liked your album. Looking forward to see you live some time 🙂
Incredible! Whole album is a masterpiece. I literally can't stop playing it, it's my favourite album of the moment, and is quite possibly the best sounding recorded music experience in decades. The last time I was absolutely blown away was 27 years ago, when I've heard Images and Words for the first time. Now it's happened again.
42k views! be proud of this album. It was such a refreshing listen and its only going up from here
No joke, bands like this keep proving Rock music will never die, congratulations!
I single handedly pushed this song from 40k views to 40k
What an unmitigated beast of an album. Amazing work! UA-cam threw this at me randomly and I'm floored.
Dear Lord. The prog is strong in you guys. It scratches some many hitches at once, it goes some many places. Congratulations and thank you for the efffort.
Finally a good album for 2023, nice work!
Highly recommend for any fans of Dream Theater, Symphony X, Shadow Gallery, and other prog metal bands. This is fantastic stuff! Highlights: Implosion Overture, Earwyrm, Within the Realm of Possibility
This is awesome! Buying a copy and will watch what you do. Greeting from Minnesota.
I haven't felt so captivated with an album in a long time, I just became your biggest fan ♥ haha this is amazing, really, goosebumps all the way through.😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
This album is a triumph. Loved every second of it.
MARAVILHOSO!!!
Visions is (by far) my favorite album of all time.
Needless to say that my feeling toward this album are very strong very fast.
Sending love from the bleeding Israel
Sounds like the perfect blend of "classic" prog metal and modern prog metal, Haken 2.0 in a way :) My AOTY 2023 \o/
This is an amazing album. No doubt you will make it big. Thanks for the kick-ass music
Tremendo disco!!! un grata sorpresa nos deja este 2023, entre los mejores del año sin duda!
never did I ever believe in destiny, but that one day I browsed reddit on new, saw a post titled "why isn't there any new good music anymore" with 1 comment: "nospun dude".
usually I don't really care enough to check the 10000th copy-past Djent band, but this time I decided to check you guys out and OH BOY, without exaggeration this is probably the best album\music I've heard in a loooooooong time, there's literally not 1 second I didn't enjoy.
good work guys, I hope to listen to more masterpieces like this one in the future! good luck on your musical journey!
Totally prog fan, I wouldn't make any comparison. You master your subject. this "opus" is an incredible work. Thx for this masterpiece. Plz continue ! Cheers from Belgium ;-)
I have almost finished listening to the album for the first time and I can already say this is a masterpiece. Really amazing work. Varied, rich, melodic and punchy, great sound, excellent singer... This is going to require many more spins to grasp all the depth of the work and talent on display here. Thank you!
After listening a lot more I think my favorite song is Within the Realm of Possibility. I love the concept and the conversation bit in the middle is so much fun
amazing album front to back. Cannot wait to see where you guys are going next!!
This is the best prog metal I've heard in a decade. As a fan of DT and early Haken this is gold for me. Keep up the good work and I'll follow your next release with great interest! Cheers!
Okay so this was given to me as a youtube rec, and when I was going through Implosion Overture like semi in the background, I felt maybe this was a bit... TOO weird for me maybe. A little too far on the side of experimentalism vs listenability, y'know? Like, it happens, everyone's at different parts of that scale and that journey.
Then Dance with Me pulled me right the fuck back in and Earwyrm knocked my FUCKING TEETH OUT and it was just bliss all the way down and out. I need to give this thing a real, *PROPER* listen later at some 'make out all the details' kinda volumes 'cus holy FUCK the algorithm actually served me some gold here. This is absolutely incredible, y'all are something special as hell and you might wind up being one of my favourite finds for the whole year, I haven't been this impressed by the creativity of an album since I first heard Native Construct.
And it was released 10 days after my birthday? You shouldn't have. I'm sorry it took me so long to get to it /j
Gg
Gg
wow, fantastic stuff so far! thank you very much, keep up the great tunes - you now have a fan base in Australia! :)
This album is something I've been waiting for a loooooong time from prog metal scene! Absolutely a Masterpiece. Congratulations.
Hell yeah dudes this is epic as, glad UA-cam randomly showed ya video, definitely gonna get this pumping while I work
Half way between Dream Theater and Opeth! Amazing sound, great progressive! I really wish a 5.1 or a Dolby Atmos hard support version because in this way, only, one is able to appreciate the Nospūn’s sound! Evocative, rich, powerful!!! The great progressive rock has a new star!!!
Just AMAZING !!! Wow ! Every note is perfect... Thank you so much guys for your beautiful music. Fan from France
This is so cool, the music is not only prog, but there are a lot of melodies and feeling.
What a debut. Damn.
Omg, what a amazing album! Congrats to you all! I'm listening it in loop here. Thank you guys! Best of 2023 so far, no doubt. Cheers from Brazil!
Cara...tu é brasileiro tmb?? que banda é essa meu amigo?? não conhecia, que perfeição de banda é essa..faz tempo que um disco não me impressiona dessa forma...esse play foi lançado esse ano??
@@markwoodrezende1278 Sim, sou brasileiro. Curto demais prog rock/metal e esse disco caiu como uma luva. Um dos melhores do ano até agora. Esse álbum é o primeiro deles com esse nome e formação até onde eu sei, e foi lançado esse ano mesmo.
Achei que tem algumas coisas muito parecidas com Dream Theater e Rush (as vezes até demais), mas mesmo assim é muito bom.
Feliz de ter encontrado essa gema preciosa também. Venho todo dia escutar esse disco, e estou viciado em Within the realm of possibility! ❤
@@markwoodrezende1278 Acho difícil você não conhecer, mas caso não conheça: ouça Haken, Native Construct, Caligula's Horse, Thank You Scientist, Leprous e Artificial Language.
One of the most impressive albums I've ever heard, and I'm very musically snobbish, the theory on this album, the lyricism, the emotions, genres, it has absolutely changed my perception on what a beautiful album is. You guys came from nowhere and absolutely smashed the bar. Bravo.
favorite album in a long time. Ive listened to it probably 20 times in the last month. Thank you guys so much its very appreciated.
Awesome!!! I can't stop listening it...
brilliant work.
So, so good! Amazing debut!
Fantastic stuff, loving it more with every repeat play!
this is one of my favorite metal albums of 2023 so far.. wow
what a journey
I'm hooked, awesome debut (I found out it was your debut because I had to check while first listening to this jewel...I simply had to have more from this band). Outstanding!
Conhecendo essa banda agora. Saudações Brazucas
Love the classic DT vibes this gives out. Great job!!
This is perfection!
this album is really amazing, been listening to it over and over recently. I just want to say I love the transition from Implosion Overture to The Death of Simpson, it is so cool how you use that 7 note arpeggio (i think I'm using that word right lol) as a big conclusion to Implosion Overture and then turn around and give it a completely different feel at the beginning of the next song. Might be my favorite part of the album if it weren't for that dialogue in the middle of Within the Realm of Possibility.
Good shit all around, can't wait to hear more from you guys.
Also that album cover is sick as fuck. Good god this album is a masterpiece.
Ok, only listened once. Fan for life! Great job, guys!
