This track is MASSIVE! the backup vocals match so well behind Matty's harsh vocals. Down tuned guitar with the pauses is chef's kiss. Sounds like an epic with the builds
This is the best thing since sliced bread 🍞 This song checks all the boxes when it comes to being a flawless song ✅ The Vega era is here and I’m all for it 🤘🏻
Matty is a busy dude. Vocals for memphis may fire which they are also actively releasing music, Anberlin vocals, and idk if hes doing solo singles but i hear his songs on christian radio stations. Dude is the definition of "we all have the same hours in a day" good on him.
Matty's voice is better in this song, sounds more "raw". His voice in the MMF songs sound kinda overproduced (maybe because the eletronic elements in the songs?)
That definitely sounded like it was Stephen and they just melted the tone a little bit, Stephen would do that in a lot of other songs. I also think the periodic "ohhhh" might be him too.
Was on the fence about Matty but saw them last weekend and he absolutely does the old songs so much justice live, and this new track is so good. Couldn’t imagine a better fit for them given the circumstances.
As someone who grew up on the heavy Anberlin sound this hits those notes in my heart so nicely. I hope when the album comes out with Matty we get this vibe. Its so nice to see the guys rocking out being heavy again too. It was a nice with Stephen, it was sad to see him go again. But now Matty will bring Anberlin into new heights can't wait for that.
Do we know the meaning behind “vega”? I have googled the word “vega” and I see some different things. Would love to know th reason they went with that word for the title.
Clearly should’ve just released Silverline and Convinced as one LP to start or maybe just expanded Silverline into a full LP. And then had this and Walk Alone as a new project. It’s good on it’s own but will stick out awkwardly in a project with Stephen.
@@Rob-wt9lq they made a legitimate criticism. The album has already been released with advertising on the same label. Just a cash grab now given the perspective the band and label created themselves.
@@ianraguse6455 bands have been doing the same for years. they made it clear that was the plan. no reason to complain or be upset cause something exists. no ones making anyone buy anything and the band can drop music however they'd like to. personally grateful this album exists.
Same. While I like heavier Anberlin, I preferred it on Silverline. This isn't bad, however it sounds like a lot of other bands and is missing the distinct vocals of Stephen.
The plan all along was to combine the two EP's into one album, plus a couple of new songs, for release as one CD, vinyl, etc... They had made that pretty clear. I, for one, am pumped to have the whole thing. Quit yer bitchin' and enjoy. They'll have a totally new album out soon enough.
@@solnative706it’s not playlists. They are EPs released separately over the last year or 2, combined into one with the new tracks. I get the frustration but also they’ve said this in their posts. They don’t trick anyone.
@@mnemony3151 Well I'm not in the band so I can't pretend to know what they meant by the title of the album. But Vega is most commonly known as the brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra. Does that help you at all?
This is honestly incredible. 😐🔥 not in just how dope Matty sounds as their vocalist, but I’m not gonna sit here and say I’ve listened to everything Anberlin has ever released (last actual album was New Surrender)…but I was deeefinitely unaware that the band themselves could pull off this kind of sound. 🤯🔥 “Walk Alone” I expected, but not this. 😅 I’m not sure they are just playing heavier because they have Matty involved, but goddamn is this incredible. That chorus is veryyy nicely written and an earworm while the verses are vibey as fuck. Is the guitarist singing the second half of the verses or is it all Matty? 🤔 I can’t tell. Definitely gonna be on repeat for a while.
The new album 'Vega' by Anberlin, featuring Matty Mullins on vocals on "Seven" & "Walk Alone", is out everywhere now: anberlin.lnk.to/vega
Matty knows which version of 'Feel Good Drag' we listen to ❤️
I hated which one got more popular
@@coreyw5981 same. How the influence was the move away from raw and scream vocals was so depressing.
@@Timtmmusicpgh he sang that screaming line out of the bridge with zero enthusiasm, with that new version 😂
@@coreyw5981 oh, 100%! Like it was cool to replace screams or something. The band Funeral for a Friend did the same thing with their song 'Juneau.'
@@Timtmmusicpgh that fucked version of Juneau suuucckkks
Ok, give me a full length album of Matty on vocals with this heavy production and song-writing.
. . . next up!
Then just go listen to Memphis May Fire..
@@itsCurtisAvila respectfully, this sounds nothing like memphis may fire.
That would be almost like when showbread did the double album release of anorexia and nervosa
Glad this song is a single. Tremendous.
Even though I miss Stephen's voice, I do like how Matty brings out the heavier side of Anberlin! 🙂
What happened? Where is Stephan?
@@wound1up976 He took a break and Matty is filling in for him
If you listen closely, Stephen actually does backing vocals for this track.
@@ryanmyers7359 Yess, I saw someone mentioning this and I can definitely hear it too!
Matty covering anberlin songs just isn't right...I didn't enjoy it live...they don't fit. This song is terrific, though.
That chorus is JUST SO FREAKING HUGE. Good lawd.
Anberlin should release a 2 sided record with 1 side Stephen and the heavier side redone with Matty
Anberlins War and Peace 💪
I often dream of a fantasy album like that but they rarely come to fruition
YES!
This track is MASSIVE! the backup vocals match so well behind Matty's harsh vocals. Down tuned guitar with the pauses is chef's kiss. Sounds like an epic with the builds
Matty, Anberlin, this is gold.
This is the best thing since sliced bread 🍞
This song checks all the boxes when it comes to being a flawless song ✅
The Vega era is here and I’m all for it 🤘🏻
The Fade in fade out of Stephen’s vocal around 3 minutes was haunting. In all the best ways.
Whoo! That vocal distortion just pushing this over the edge, this smacks!!
Whatever the vega era is.. I fricken like it!!!!!!
Matty is officially in his prime a new anberlinalbum plus a new Mmf song in the same week staying busy I see🎉
Matty is a busy dude. Vocals for memphis may fire which they are also actively releasing music, Anberlin vocals, and idk if hes doing solo singles but i hear his songs on christian radio stations. Dude is the definition of "we all have the same hours in a day" good on him.
Let's hope he doesn't burn out his vocals.
Loveeeeee this. I love my early 20s Anberlin. But this is definitely doing it.
Memphis Mayberlin 🔥🫡
clever
MMA
Memphis May Anberlin
wow! best song I have heard this year
Forget slowly entering the Vega era now...I'm entering it with fists flying.
Matty definitely bringing the MMF energy with this one
Matty's voice is better in this song, sounds more "raw". His voice in the MMF songs sound kinda overproduced (maybe because the eletronic elements in the songs?)
Amazing. I love this.
Can't describe how happy I am with this!!! Awesome
Man...the guitars sound like chainsaws and I'm here for it!
Are Stephen's vocals overlayed with Matty's during the bridge? Or am I imagining that? 2:54
it's possible it's him, he's still in the band. maybe the guys wanted to do an easter egg?
I hear it too, so not just you!
@@amedori18 Good, that means I'm not losing my mind 😆
I thought the same thing
That definitely sounded like it was Stephen and they just melted the tone a little bit, Stephen would do that in a lot of other songs. I also think the periodic "ohhhh" might be him too.
This is badass. Its like the band got angry.
Fantastic song. Love you guys!
Holy Moly. This Rocks.
I remember hearing this when they played in Ybor!!
Same
This song gives off so much energy. Almost trance like or haunting in a way. Very cool and such a great song!
When the voice of the band is gone, the band is gone, lay it to rest, and start a new one....
what a wonderful song❤
ok, so anberlin may fire now
Cannot wait for my vinyl to come next week 🔥🤞
Anberlin, leveling up in Rock, damn 👏💪
*BANGER!* ❤💙
Matty You brought new power in this song! Beautiful ❤🙏👍
I’ll see you guys Thursday!
❤ the new album
Please play this song on Thursday in St Augustine!
S.lowly
E.nter
V.ega
E.ra
N.ow
That's clever, these guys are amazing 👌
This song is really good
Amazing! 🖤
this is dope.
Wow, you sound great. Got better over time.
Was on the fence about Matty but saw them last weekend and he absolutely does the old songs so much justice live, and this new track is so good. Couldn’t imagine a better fit for them given the circumstances.
Have you seen that this track is getting some great radio support on Solid Rock Radio in Aiken, USA.
So fun seeing you guys last night in St Augustine!
Omg yall he said the name of the album!
I’m mega digging this song
Good stuff
How did they make matty care again? This is the most authentic thing he's done in 15 YEARS
Have you heard last Memphis May Fire songs ?
THIS IS ANIMAL
Sounds unusual but I like it! So strong, powerful and emotional! And Matty's voice is perfect!
Not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
I was really looking forward to this. The Live performance version on UA-cam is better, I think its in a lower key and sounds way cooler.
I at least thought we’d get a cover of Feel Good Drag that you sampled on instagram earlier in the year 😢
😮😮😮😮 its been so long!!!!
3rd release in 3 years
This song rips!
As someone who grew up on the heavy Anberlin sound this hits those notes in my heart so nicely. I hope when the album comes out with Matty we get this vibe. Its so nice to see the guys rocking out being heavy again too. It was a nice with Stephen, it was sad to see him go again. But now Matty will bring Anberlin into new heights can't wait for that.
so is this Anberlin or MMF 2.0 ??
Anberlin
Good tune
Anybody know what they mean by "the vega era"?
Would LOVE to hear NTFP in this tuning
Not sure why they titled this seven but it should be 7 like this 🤔 ❤
Slowly
Enter
Vega
Era
Now
😊
And yes!!! It should be seven more of this!!
Woah, was not expecting that! This is awesome!
RIP Anberlin sorry boys
Do we know the meaning behind “vega”? I have googled the word “vega” and I see some different things. Would love to know th reason they went with that word for the title.
Probably just want they're calling this particular place in time for the band with the new vocalist
i don't know the meaning, but i caught this:
S lowly
E nter the
V ega
E ra
N ow
@@mucaslatoslegendary catch here.

clearly need something to complain about. life is hard, i get it .

Arte🚬🗿
Is Christian McIlhaney not just WAAAAAY underrated?
Is anyone else getting Crosses vibes but in the best fucking way?
You should all thank Kellen McGregor
Did they overlay Stephen’s vocals with Matty’s in the slow part?
Yes
Wake me up when Stephen is back 🥱🥱
Don't set any alarms.
Same. While I like heavier Anberlin, I preferred it on Silverline. This isn't bad, however it sounds like a lot of other bands and is missing the distinct vocals of Stephen.
"slowly enter the vega era now" is kind of a cringy line for a chorus hook... especially when the album is called Vega...
And especially when 10 of the songs were released on the previous two commercial releases.
Slowly enter the scam era
Just call the band something else
Start fresh.
RIP Anberlin.
Wait, where have I been? Stephen Christian is no longer the vocalist of Anberlin?
He’s stepping back to focus on his personal life and Matty filled in on tour but then became like a co singer? Idk it’s weird lol
I thought we were getting a new album. Not two playlist being turned into one. I’ve been waiting… 😢
For real I was pretty pissed with that shit. I'm like this isn't a new album IDK why they calling it an album lol.
I thought the same thing when I saw the Apple Music pre-save
The plan all along was to combine the two EP's into one album, plus a couple of new songs, for release as one CD, vinyl, etc... They had made that pretty clear. I, for one, am pumped to have the whole thing. Quit yer bitchin' and enjoy. They'll have a totally new album out soon enough.
@@fratberry yeah but I could put two playlist into one on my computer… people already did that.

This song fuckin rocks.
Esto es fantástico 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
MASSSIVE. Nice one Matty. 🙌
Bring on the VEGA ERA!!!!
what does that mean?
@@mnemony3151 It's literally in the song.
@@RyanSprague51 yea literally what does it mean?

acepto
vega era, alright we get it
I'm confused. What happened to Stephen?
Taking time off for family, he hasn’t left the band.
Imagine how awesome it's going to be when he comes back and they have his cleans with Matt's harshes.
@@patrickalbor1896 gonna be pretty amazing cuz Stephen has a voice too!! He can yell!!
Where's the band vocalist?
Taking a little break, doesn't plan on touring at least. Might still do studio stuff though. We'll see
I don’t about anyone else but I get Sleep Token vibes from this song. I love it!
this goes hard
Dam, they got better! Haven't listened to them in a long time. Great song!
same. sounds completely different from what i was expecting.
The clearing of the throat towards the end feels like a production slip up. Am I wrong?
4:35
It's not a slip up, he does it in the live performance 😅
Not even anberlin at this point, MMF PT2
very much anberlin
This one feels way more like an Anberlin song than MMF
No where close to MMF lol
Been a while since the last time I listen to Anberlin and just figured out that Stephen take hiatus. But as a heavy music lover this is gold 😮🔥
Hellll yeah keep this style!
This is honestly incredible. 😐🔥 not in just how dope Matty sounds as their vocalist, but I’m not gonna sit here and say I’ve listened to everything Anberlin has ever released (last actual album was New Surrender)…but I was deeefinitely unaware that the band themselves could pull off this kind of sound. 🤯🔥 “Walk Alone” I expected, but not this. 😅 I’m not sure they are just playing heavier because they have Matty involved, but goddamn is this incredible.

it's all matty, christian is only doing backing vocals
@@mucaslatos Appreciate that. Sounds like Matty, but the camera is on Christian during both parts so I was wondering.

Nice job fellas.
*points at Matty*
HE SAID THE THING!
#AnberlinForever 🤞
Heard this live in SLC. They put on a great show, and Matt was super humble. 🔥
Хороша пісня. Але це вже зовсім інші Anberlin
Brutal ❤❤
