Its intentional by the mainstream to demonize metal as being satanic so people wont give it the time of day. In reality pop and mainstream shit is the satanic shit.
@@notstarboard I figured, was just joking around lol. It's funny though cuz I feel like IA is like a much more proggy Currents at times. You're right though IA is some s tier metalcore
@@Ivan_T lol i just started this about 6 months ago and i think it’s not that much tbh. But glad someone actually pays attention to my comments and this account’s existence. Thanks
I feel sorry for any other band in the scene. Literally no one is even close to being the caliber of this band. I’m so happy for them that UNFD signed them. They deserve this and so much more. This EP is fucking amazing, and the idea to shoot one music video for all three songs was brilliant. I’m all about this era of the band.
@@jonnydee0087 Absolutely love them. They don’t fill that ambience aspect that Invent thrives on. For me, it’s what separates them. Jesse can riff like the best of them, but the pure ambience and melodic passages these guys do is unbeatable.
This should have millions of views, amazing visuals, fantastic instrumentation, vocals are on point, just so much emotion. Invent Animate is so insanely good.
Your missing out on a lot of good music if thats your thought. For me almost every track on there last album was better then this. Not that this is bad but neither track grabbed me.
I definitely get the dark sense from this ep. Like something about it is super deep and heavy emotionally. its a really hard vibe to describe actually, but i agree completely.
@@evanmay8145 it sounds hopeless almost. I have no idea what feeling the band intended for this to invoke, but that is the best way I can describe this whole ep; hopeless.
As stupid as it sounds this song makes me want to stop using drugs to numb myself and "heal" myself of everything that's left my soul bare the past year. Thank you Invent Animate.
I hope you followed through with this feeling man. No need to feel numb when life has so beauty in it amidst the pain. The song is a perfect representation of that 💙
I know this is a late reply but you should check out some christian metal! I don't mean to push religion on you, it is your choice to follow any given path. However, it is nice to get away from the constant bombardment of nihilism that fills the lyrics of most metal songs. It's just a suggestion as the lyrics can be very uplifting, hope you're doing well with your struggles.
1:26 there’s something so special about that riff for me, some sense of euphoria and melancholia that makes me to detached from everything and imagine a cold cloudy weather standing on a mountain outside of the city, watching the city from above thinking about the meaning of existence watching everything moving by, can’t put enough words for it, god i love this band.
Same here! Normally people can’t figure this out every time but when you get deeply involved with heavy music you can picture every little detail that a riff can give you to tell a story, either if it is intended by the composer or not
this literally blew my heart out of my body ....Invent Animate this is a Godly piece of work and literally had me crying for some reason.... it literally made me think of my anxiety and my depression and how i lost people in my life i loved and like it just is sooo good 100% my favorite band and favorit music video I have seen.
@@Aerogenic_X it's actually about substance abuse. I think he's talking about the guilt of not being there for somebody who was lost to addiction to be honest. stay humble and dibt turn you back on people you care about if they start doing hard drugs cause most people aren't doing to get fucked up. they do it because they're going through some shit and feel alone or had bad upbringings
I feel the same. As soon as the chorus came on I started tearing up. It’s been stuck on repeat my whole work shift today, and I don’t regret it. This song is my new addiction.
The "Speak to me as if I’m all that’s left, Speak to me, A broken soul in the wasteland" part at 3:35 is just incredible, I love the loudness, extremely cathartic
Я просмотрел эту работу невероятное количество раз. Мне всё равно, что этот комментарий никто не прочитает и он так и останется без ответа, но я должен высказаться: Давно знаю эту группу и получаю лютое удовольствие от прослушивания и просмотра. Знал, что ребята когда-нибудь сотворят нечто невероятное и как мне кажется это та самая работа. Объясню почему так думаю: Я загипнотизирован кадрами и музыкой, это просто невероятно! Каждый раз, как по новой, хотя знаю каждый кадр наизусть. Понятия не имею сколько было в это вложено и кто автор клипа, но то, что это для меня лютый референс по всем показателям -- это истина. Я солидарен с каждым кадром, разумеется музыкой и актёрами, которые, как мне кажется выполнили свою работу на все 100%. То, что из меня смогли вытащить эти эмоции и каждый раз Invent Animate это делают... иногда не понимаю как, но это правда и главное, что мне это нравится. Чувствую всеми фибрами тела, что с ними резонирую. Я готов ещё просмотреть 10 млн. раз. Не останавливайтесь, невероятный потенциал. Это одна из немногих работ на UA-cam, которую я рекламировал многим.
Читал комментарий, будто свой. Подписываюсь под каждой буквой. Думается мне, друг, что из тех 400 к, которые тут есть, мы с тобой насмотрели не меньше сотни
“As If It Never Was” makes me feel such deep longing and sadness as I listen. Makes me have a deep, painful cry… Because my husband and I got shunned by my religious family, July 2021. We left the religion they’re apart of, and spoke up about the things they were hiding. They didn’t like that, so they shunned us. It’s been almost a year, and the pain is still as raw as it was the day it happened. The grief is immense. The actual instrumentation of the song is what helped make me emotional in the first place…. You guys as a band have never failed. I love you guys so much.
As much as I am not the biggest fan of metalcore anymore (age does that to you), every now and then there's a band in that genre that blows your mind away with sheer intensity, rawness, and emotion. That band is Invent Animate. Why that band does not get more recognition is beyond me. Definitely a band to watch.
I feel like people in the future will just ignore the EP thing and treat this song as one of the all time classics of the genre. Much how Day In The Life was a mix of a few Beatles songs The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was will be considered one 10 minute epic Metalcore jam for the ages. This will definitely be in my end of year list as a all time top song, as an EP there is no way its going to be beaten.
Been a little bit since a song made me cry on the first listen. You can hear the emotion in the lyrics and instrumentals so easily without having to dig deep into the lyrics. Not to mention the FANTASTIC visuals. This music video is truly a piece of art. Thank you IA
As If It Never Was hit something inside, my eyes went wet and searching in the coments noticed I wasn't the only one. This song man, this song touches your soul somehow and puts you in an emotional flow state. Both songs and the video are a masterpiece. Edit: Third week out and still listening to this everyday.
I'm sure the drummer won't ever see this, but I just gotta say the subtle use of the open hihats, such as at 4:01, 5:53, and around 6:25 is suuuch a good addition that I haven't heard much of in other bands.
Everyone in this band is so talented and so good at not just playing their instruments, but being able to use the instrument to tell a story and just mess with my mind. The drummer specifically rattles my bones and can pull me out of any trance with how he highlights the song
This new production feels absolutely perfect, honestly reminds me why I fell in love with them ages ago. I stg I'll be following this band till they retire..
I don't know where to start.. first of all thank you Invent Animate for your passion to create this music, I take my hat of to you guys, this is absolutely amazing. The last song hitted a spot and my eyes gone wet, so emotional and powerful. I can't wait to see what happens next and where your path leads you.
What a slapper of an ep invent animate i really enjoyed it the vocals were absolutely amazing the instrumentation was fantastic & the breakdowns were heavy as hell.😃 Keep the tunes coming lads well done.😃🤘
Those lyrics tho. I've been listening to this on repeat, singing it to my ex husband in my head. I wish he could hear it, but he's dead inside, as all narcissists are... Thank you guys for making good music, and music I can grieve to.
This is the first band ive heard in years that makes actual art.... the expressions in this video and song are bonkers.... mind bending and incredible. Everyone needs to hear this band... you can feel the pain when he sings, "How does it feel to die, knowing I've forgotten you?" incredible... my mind is blown
First time hearing these guys. They have that sound I've been looking for that some bands capture seldomly in some songs. That mix of melodic, relaxing and heavy. It's just an awesome vibe. If the rest of your music stands up to this you've earned a new fan.
This…I can’t even describe how this music makes me feel. It evokes emotion within me so far away from explanation that no other music can reach. IA forever. Thank you.
This band was one of the things that shaped me to who I am today with Everchanger/Stillworld. Greyview did take a bit of getting used to, but it always felt familiar and it grew with time to be another solid release and the next evolution of this band. This release brings me back to the Everchanger/Stillworld days while still being new, and with Marcus really shining through here for me. Cannot wait to see what's next with what is a seriously well deserved signing to UNFD. Oh, and Keaton is genuinely one of the most underrated guitarist's in this metalcore scene. Dude has been one of my riff lords for a longggggg time.
Felt the same way about Greyview, loved only part of it at first but listening to it now I can appreciate the full story being told much much more. A really cool bartender recommended IA back in 2019, and they are absolutely stellar not a bad song on any of their albums. IA thank you and keep going
I'm STILL cranking these two songs every day!!!!!!! THESE GUYS ARE METALCORE!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!! THANK YOU INVENT ANIMATE FOR KEEPING METALCORE ALIVE AND SLAMMING!!! 🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹
@@mylife1221 I'll see them on March 5th in Vienna I will definitely spend hundreds of Euros on Merch and be there in the front row One of the best Tours to ever hit Europe and UK
I am completely and utterly blown away and honestly emotional. The word masterpiece seems insufficient to describe this work of art. THANK YOU INVENT ANIMATE
Oh my damn, guys. The Sun Sleeps set the bar high but As If It Never Was brings the feels AND the best guitar riffs I've ever heard. Please never stop putting out music
I fell in love with The Sun Sleeps so much that Iveguitar covered it, but holy damn, the interlude and As If It Never Was are just pure love to the ears ❤🖤 Thanks for this quick journey guys, best of luck!
my guys walked a long way from "Captive" to this but this way is one of the best groups in the scene at the moment and i couldnt be happier for them to get the recognition they deserve
I often come and watch this on repeat but I never really paid attention to the small detail of them running in the field to meet each other when it goes in sync with the start of the next track. 🔥🔥🔥
I have got to say it, as I've seen no comment about this My absolute fave is "," You can disagree with me, but IA are - simply put - masters of creating textures and atmospheres in their songs. Fireside is in my top 3 all-time fave tracks EVER. With "," I shed heavy tears when I heard just the first few notes. It's amazing how good their ambient tracks are, I'm in total love with them.
Agree man. Fireside is beautiful. But my all time favorite by them is Solace. Never in my life did I think an instrumental can move me to tears but that one did. I still get goosebumps listening to it and I've listened to it well over 100 times. It's magnificent
I don't even know what this is at 1:26 riff/leads/melody I don't know but it's by far my favourite guitar work of 2021. It instantly made me smile with pure enjoyment. Beautiful.
I've listened to the EP tens of times now but I never truly appreciated how well the video was made until now. There's details in every frame. The contrast has been tweaked to give it a darker tone when she's in the sunflower field. And the effects on the players really transmits the emotions. Really solid!
I like to consider myself the “pope holding stillworld” meme bc I believe it to be one of the best metalcore records ever written (and i shove it in everyone’s face) but this.. wow. Hot damn. Hot diggity damn. The vibes are immaculate.
Absolutely agree with you. Still world blew me away. So did grayview but nothing just compares stillworld That was until As if it never was. Holy fuck what a masterpiece
I've listened to this over 20 times now, and it is easily my favorite thing to have come out in a long time. The more I listen, the more emotion I comprehend and then want to listen more. Thank you for this.
Invent Animate has become such a band that it makes me feel the deep and sad parts of my past and yet it makes me feel that they were so beautiful. This band is so good, their sound changed and this sound is so good. I FREAKING LOVE YOUR MUSIC 🥰🖤
Upsets me metal has such a stigma around it that a lot of people won’t get to experience art like this.
Its intentional by the mainstream to demonize metal as being satanic so people wont give it the time of day. In reality pop and mainstream shit is the satanic shit.
If they get over the cringy corny stuff like hair metal and numetal, then they’ll find gems like this, metalcore is a miracle
Metal is beautiful ❤️. Don't let people's ignorance ruin it for you.
right, and look at Invocator 'through the flesh ...' album then and how few views that has despite the masterpiece that is is!!!!
@@ThatShitGood how is Nu Metal cringe?
BANGER!
❤❤❤
Lol you again
One of the best ep s i have heard in a long time... Really impressive and unique
I envy the creativity and effort that goes into all of your comments.
stop copypasting
How long does a band need to be the best in their genre to really blow up? Like seriously people, share this!
YOOOOO! They are not the best in their genre ;) ;) ;)
@@dynatwenty Lol okay Mr. Currents fan, I see you XD
@@notstarboard hey don't be hating on Currents 🤘

Grab a good headphones, put it full screen, lay your back down and enjoy this masterpiece
U KNOW IT
Yes man 🔥
Literally just did that, what an amazing listening experience
Til the ads hit mid song
@@moodmusic4life LOL
that intro of "As if it Never was" will always get me emotional
Especially with the "," part. It's simply perfection.
@@NegusInParis01 yeah lol, whenever i want to listen to as if it never was, i just put on the last 20-30 seconds of "," so the intro hits double
The 4:15 part?
Yeah. It's stellar.
@@canuquackliekaDUCK 5:39
its mega badass
4:22 that part takes me back to a "forgotten place" empty now, probably quiet with some memories lost in time.
No other band's music can make me feel the way Invent Animate's does.
seriously try hypno5e ( yes its a 5 not a S) the song story of the eyes eargasm too
there's another one for me, Imminence. the emotions of both bands can't be matched by other bands even my other favorites
Check Rogue - Viper
Agree dude like maybe loathe? The other recs in here come close but invent is so polished in their atmosphere it’s crazy
Imminence!
this isn't a song, it's a fucking experience man holy shit what a work of art
7:32 collectively known as "That Part"
I love how every Invent Animate song has "That Part". How do they do it every time 😭
Abstractcore
As If It Never was is one of the best songs they've ever released, and this is coming from an absolute English-era stan.
I am also a english stan and im so glad they didnt ditch the invent animate charm they always had, markus fits so well!
This song should bring people to there knees
I was about to disagree like a minute into it and then they dropped the fucking hammer. Huge chills.
What’s an English Stan lol
@@Ryan999tx Ben English stan, their former vocalist
Man, that riff in The Sun Sleeps definitely qualifies for "the riff" status. What a lick.
At this point IA should make more MV because I think from this godlike band the only thing they lack is the amount of music video they have
so true! what a shame everchanger & stillworld only got 1 music video per album. glad to see the guys getting more attention with the latest music.
@@dannaturehold at least it grows to 2 in greyview, but still, they don’t even have videos from live performances 🤦♂️ still a godlike band regardless

Your missing out on a lot of good music if thats your thought. For me almost every track on there last album was better then this. Not that this is bad but neither track grabbed me.
@@joshgrimm8443 tbh i prefer this over the entire last album
@@joshgrimm8443 same for me. It’s still a good song though of course

No kidding, its nearly impossible for a song to make me tear up, but this video as a whole had me come really close!

I'm STILL cranking these two songs every day!!!!!!! THESE GUYS ARE METALCORE!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!! THANK YOU INVENT ANIMATE FOR KEEPING METALCORE ALIVE AND SLAMMING!!! 🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹
@@render_the_void IA and ERRA really are the two best bands in the genre
@@mylife1221 cant wait for the Tour with Sentinels, IA, Silent Planet and ERRA
@@drkstrnd ME NEITHER! im going to manchester on march 13th, gonna be the best day ever
@@mylife1221 I'll see them on March 5th in Vienna
I will definitely spend hundreds of Euros on Merch and be there in the front row
One of the best Tours to ever hit Europe and UK
? this is like progressive metal.. metalcore is like architects or bullet for my valentine
Y'all have cemented yourselves as one of my favorite bands ever. So fuckin good.
JOHNNYYYY!! Well said my dude! That goes for Carcosa too 🙌🏽❤💯
@@natetremusic
that's why it's my favorite band. WHAT A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE EP!
Why, UA-cam? WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NOW TO HEAR THIS?? Fucking epic
I am completely and utterly blown away and honestly emotional. The word masterpiece seems insufficient to describe this work of art. THANK YOU INVENT ANIMATE
best band in metalcore and it ain’t even close
this is the first song I've heard from Invent Animate and holy shit it was so dam good!! That was just spectacular!
This is the best band that ever existed in the whole djent-prog scene, can't wait for another masterpiece to drop in the next few years
10:01 hit me so god damn hard. so heavy, emotional, and personal. feels like im slowly melting away to this part. masterpiece.
IA confirming they are indeed a leader in this genre and the signing to UNFD will make sure the world knows this. 10/10 fellas!
Most Underrated band possibly ever, so much depth, emotion and restraint in this album, cant wait for more.
This song deserves at least 1 million views.
This band is top-tier metal. Visuals are outstanding, along with the release of these tracks. Haven't stopped listening since
Cathartic soundscapes. How can a band be this good?
This is the only 10+ minute song that I listen to like repeatedly. End to end it's amazing.
I have no word after listening to this masterpiece, this EP is definitely the best EP of the year for me, and I sure about that.
One of the best releases in metal this year.
still to this day, no song has come close to "as if it never was". by far the best track i've ever heard in the metalcore scene.
Oh my damn, guys. The Sun Sleeps set the bar high but As If It Never Was brings the feels AND the best guitar riffs I've ever heard. Please never stop putting out music
I fell in love with The Sun Sleeps so much that Iveguitar covered it, but holy damn, the interlude and As If It Never Was are just pure love to the ears ❤🖤 Thanks for this quick journey guys, best of luck!
my guys walked a long way from "Captive" to this but this way is one of the best groups in the scene at the moment and i couldnt be happier for them to get the recognition they deserve
I often come and watch this on repeat but I never really paid attention to the small detail of them running in the field to meet each other when it goes in sync with the start of the next track. 🔥🔥🔥
I have got to say it, as I've seen no comment about this
My absolute fave is ","
You can disagree with me, but IA are - simply put - masters of creating textures and atmospheres in their songs. Fireside is in my top 3 all-time fave tracks EVER.
With "," I shed heavy tears when I heard just the first few notes. It's amazing how good their ambient tracks are, I'm in total love with them.
same for me dude fireside is just on another level 🔥
Love fireside so much
Agree man. Fireside is beautiful. But my all time favorite by them is Solace. Never in my life did I think an instrumental can move me to tears but that one did. I still get goosebumps listening to it and I've listened to it well over 100 times. It's magnificent
6 months in and I still can't get over THAT riff from The Sun Sleeps
I don't even know what this is at 1:26 riff/leads/melody I don't know but it's by far my favourite guitar work of 2021. It instantly made me smile with pure enjoyment. Beautiful.
It's criminal this doesn't have at least a million views/listens. As If It Never was is their best work to date imo
I've listened to the EP tens of times now but I never truly appreciated how well the video was made until now. There's details in every frame. The contrast has been tweaked to give it a darker tone when she's in the sunflower field. And the effects on the players really transmits the emotions. Really solid!
Invent, Animate will be one of those bands talked about for the rest of time. This song, and most others by this band are timeless!
I like to consider myself the “pope holding stillworld” meme bc I believe it to be one of the best metalcore records ever written (and i shove it in everyone’s face) but this.. wow. Hot damn. Hot diggity damn. The vibes are immaculate.
Absolutely agree with you. Still world blew me away. So did grayview but nothing just compares stillworld
That was until As if it never was.
Holy fuck what a masterpiece
Stillworld is so incredible. That whole record has so much emotional weight and so many amazing riffs.
@@BANGOUTL8R vacant still fucks me up. Same with agora
Real talk, nothing has touched me like celstial floods and darkbloom had until as if it never were
I to believe that I seen them live right after they dropped still world I've got a poster I had signed when I met them
invent has such a unique style and power to it, I can work out to it and still fall asleep to it . white wolf remains my all time favorite
I fall more and more in love with this masterpiece as time goes on. Truly incredible
Had front row for their Christmas Burns Red show in Lancaster PA. I can die happy now that I’ve seen them play this whole❤🙏
I've listened to this over 20 times now, and it is easily my favorite thing to have come out in a long time. The more I listen, the more emotion I comprehend and then want to listen more. Thank you for this.
It has been some time till this double-song came out.... still in my top 10 songs of all time. Probably forether will be there!
Just found these guys and I'm completely blown away!!! This song is just amazing with so many changes. It's an emotional Rollercoaster!!! 🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹
My interiors can't deal with how good IA guitars sounds
Invent Animate has become such a band that it makes me feel the deep and sad parts of my past and yet it makes me feel that they were so beautiful. This band is so good, their sound changed and this sound is so good. I FREAKING LOVE YOUR MUSIC 🥰🖤
This is absolute perfection.
