Heck I don't think I could pick just one! I love the whole album. "Witch Hunter," "Wolf Within", "Why Keep Heaven Waiting" would probably be the main contenders for me - but I might change my mind before the day's out! 🤣
To be fair Christ didn't want people to be hurt. That was typically human greed poisoning the churches and this unfortunately still happens to many churches.
It is CGI, believe it or not. It was made to look like a manually rigged paper scene, but the soft-body physics are obvious throughout, and you can see the specular mapping if you know what to look for in the environment. Regardless, the fact it looks so damned realistic in so many places is fucking incredible, and speaks to the sheer talent of the animator!
@@Thunderwolf4 There are definitely some places that were absolutely stop motion, like the chessboard and the house, but it was overlaid with or entirely CGI for most of it.
@@Jimbob1337 I agree. I am pretty sure it is "Righteous Murder, Lawful Liar" However "Righteous man, or lawful liar" would have fit in just as well and I can easily see how that could be misheard.
I have good news for you friend, he has a whole album, in fact, two whole albums of originals on his spotify, including this song and other similar tracks like God of Greed and Children of the Night!
Now I'm imagining Belos listening to this while making yet another grimwalker only to randomly headbang and play guitar with a grimwalker's severed limb at any bridge
Lyrics: Tell another lie, god is on your side Never ask forgiveness You can do no wrong, bow before the strong Purge the evil sickness Blood upon your blade Of all who try to disobey Righteous murderer, lawful liar They call him sanctifier Holy witch hunter I'm chosen for the pyre Before I meet the jury He'll find the need to kill me Tell me witch hunter Which one of us is guilty? Murderous you fight The children of the night Angels have no mercy The all-forgiving man With nails inside his hands Oh, he wants you to hurt me Blood upon your blade Of heathens too far-gone to save Righteous murderer, lawful liar They call him sanctifier Holy witch hunter I'm chosen for the pyre Before I meet the jury He'll find the need to kill me Tell me witch hunter Which one of us is guilty? Tie the noose tightly round my neck Shepherd's sheep that he must protect Hunt me down once you catch the scent Guilty 'til proven innocent Righteous murderer, lawful liar They call him sanctifier Holy witch hunter I'm chosen for the pyre Before I meet the jury He'll find the need to kill me Tell me witch hunter Which one of us is guilty?
As someone who comes from a witchy/neo-pagan background I was reminded of issues I had growing up with occasional people who looked down on me. I found this piece to be both profound and thought provoking. Been a fan of Young’s work for a while now and I love to see him continuing to create such great music. Love what your doing 😁
I am not sure it's cgi. Alot of it looks to be paper and either filmed or made with the use of stop motion photography. Honestly not sure which is more impressive. The dedication to stop motion phototgraphy or CGI that is done so well that it looks like it.
I used to love Jonathan Young’s music. Tuen there was a good bit where I didn’t love his new stuff (not a big metal head typically). Then he started adding warlock and fantasy vibes to his work. And now I’m a huge fan again. The circle of music
It’s about police brutality But yea. Belos absolutely a commentary of our real life villains- they see themselves as the “hero’s” as they commit heinous acts And the coven system represents all those systems that try to scrub us of our color and individuality. And there are good people in the system (Lilith, Hunter, Steve, ect) who are blind to how they are reinforcing a form of oppression (one that also is detrimental to themselves) So, you aren’t wrong this fits with the plot of the Owl House….. because the show is a commentary / reflection of real world issues. With a fun fantasy spin and the most satisfying villain death. Watch out for real world Belos’s…. And know we can stop them
Man, i love music about witch hunters. Which is oddly specific, but there are at least three bangers! This one obviously, here there be witches by creature feature and Lords of Saelem
How cool, I am at this moment trying out to write a story, and it is supposed to be about witch hunters, then I see this video showing up in my side bar. Thanks for the awesome motivation.
"Tell me, Witch Hunter, which one of us is guilty?" is a GOOD line.
The whole damn chorus is fire!
@@Jimbob1337 You are AGGRESSIVELY correct.
Shits been stuck in my head all day 😂
Wait so the hunter isnt the one singing? Then who is??
@@DontThinkaton I read the lyrics as mockery coming from the condemned.
This guy just can't fucking miss. Every original song is a god damned hit.
What is your favorite song on the Children of Night album? 👀
Witch Hunter for sure, although Why Keep Heaven Waiting is a close second ❤
Heck I don't think I could pick just one! I love the whole album. "Witch Hunter," "Wolf Within", "Why Keep Heaven Waiting" would probably be the main contenders for me - but I might change my mind before the day's out! 🤣
Speak To the Dead is my favourite but Witch hunter is a close second
why must I pick only one 😭
@@deniblackmore2179 exactly what I'm saying
"The All-Forgiving man with nails inside his hands... Oh, he wants you to hurt me."
That hits HARD. One of the greatest lines of all the song.
As a Heterodox Christian Theologian, I definately appreciate the question it poses and the fallacies it brings up.
To be fair Christ didn't want people to be hurt. That was typically human greed poisoning the churches and this unfortunately still happens to many churches.
it's made of paper!!!!! I thought it was CGI! Love that it's stop motion!!! Awesome song, Jonathan!!!!
Yeah, it looks like it's just low poly CGI and then, boom!

@@Kovacs343 the artist said it was stop motion and made with paper. Oh well, still looks cool.

Came running when I saw the notification, it’s my favourite song in the album. Not exactly the music video I expected, but I like it.
I see Jonathan Young in my notifications - I click 'like' It has to be done.
i am the same
thanks for reminding me, i almost forgot!
"Righteous man, or lawful liar
They call him Sanctifier"
Holy shit you're insanely creative.
I thought that line was
Righteous murder
Lawful liar
They call him
Sanctifier
@@Jimbob1337 I agree. I am pretty sure it is "Righteous Murder, Lawful Liar"
However "Righteous man, or lawful liar" would have fit in just as well and I can easily see how that could be misheard.
this is why we have flat earthers lol
Very rarely I'm grateful for UA-cam ads, but dear Lord you earned a new fan with this one.
Jon dropping a bunch of originals this whole year. Let's fuggin gooo. Christmas came early
I have good news for you friend, he has a whole album, in fact, two whole albums of originals on his spotify, including this song and other similar tracks like God of Greed and Children of the Night!
@@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595 Starship Velociraptor is one of my favorite albums of all time tbh!
Belos finally has a theme song
True
Damn it, why didn't I think of that right away?
Winning comment right here
Now I'm imagining Belos listening to this while making yet another grimwalker only to randomly headbang and play guitar with a grimwalker's severed limb at any bridge
@@endertuber8300 Heh
The lyrics are so well sung I can feel them to my bones
Originals never fail to give me chills, but this one's gooood
Easily one of the best songs on the album. Half of the album might also be in that category but I'm sticking with it
Are you kidding, half? All!
Half the album? Bro where are your ears?
Favorite song on the album!
This. This is. This is a banger from the opening. Good shit bro!
It's honestly crazy how talented you are. Great song man ❤
You're a legend Jonathan 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lyrics:
Tell another lie, god is on your side
Never ask forgiveness
You can do no wrong, bow before the strong
Purge the evil sickness
Blood upon your blade
Of all who try to disobey
Righteous murderer, lawful liar
They call him sanctifier
Holy witch hunter
I'm chosen for the pyre
Before I meet the jury
He'll find the need to kill me
Tell me witch hunter
Which one of us is guilty?
Murderous you fight
The children of the night
Angels have no mercy
The all-forgiving man
With nails inside his hands
Oh, he wants you to hurt me
Blood upon your blade
Of heathens too far-gone to save
Righteous murderer, lawful liar
They call him sanctifier
Holy witch hunter
I'm chosen for the pyre
Before I meet the jury
He'll find the need to kill me
Tell me witch hunter
Which one of us is guilty?
Tie the noose tightly round my neck
Shepherd's sheep that he must protect
Hunt me down once you catch the scent
Guilty 'til proven innocent
Righteous murderer, lawful liar
They call him sanctifier
Holy witch hunter
I'm chosen for the pyre
Before I meet the jury
He'll find the need to kill me
Tell me witch hunter
Which one of us is guilty?
Thnks
This is my favorite song on the album!!! And this music video is super rad!!! Loving the stop motion!!
Love this! In fact, the whole album is 🔥🔥🔥
AWESOME performance!
This song just came out and I've already been playing it on loop 💕🔥
As someone who comes from a witchy/neo-pagan background I was reminded of issues I had growing up with occasional people who looked down on me. I found this piece to be both profound and thought provoking. Been a fan of Young’s work for a while now and I love to see him continuing to create such great music.
Love what your doing 😁
This fucking SLAPS oh my god, another banger from Jonathan Young man never misses!
Awesome and good job and great sound amazing job
This is another amazing song!
Holy shit the lyrics are so good. Not even going to pick out specific lines they're all good.
This song came up for me as an AD.
Best yet, this rocks!
The chorus on this one is so powerful! Love it! Glad your original songs are so good man!
Absolute banger, been listening to this whenever I go on runs
Symphonic Rock is in a league of it's own, and you did it justice with this banger! BRAVO!!
YES!!
Love the song AND the use of retro-80s polygonal CGI
I am not sure it's cgi. Alot of it looks to be paper and either filmed or made with the use of stop motion photography.
Honestly not sure which is more impressive. The dedication to stop motion phototgraphy or CGI that is done so well that it looks like it.
PLEASE TELL ME WE'RE GETTING VIDEOS FROM EVERY ALBUM ON CHILDREN OF NIGHT TOO!!!!
Fuck this whole album is incredible and I would love to see it!
this is one of the best metal songs i have heared in a while great work
This morning Spotify called me out and said that I've listened to Witch Hunter 69 times in the last month
Amazing bro your voice is👏👏👏 amazing I love this song man 💠💠💠💖💖💖💖💐💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹💥🌼🌼🌼🕺💃
Banger
Great work, I love your original content!
Wait, you're doing symphonic metal now?! AAAAAAAAA YES YES YES ❤
This and Old Money are my go-to songs to jam to this year.
I used to love Jonathan Young’s music. Tuen there was a good bit where I didn’t love his new stuff (not a big metal head typically). Then he started adding warlock and fantasy vibes to his work. And now I’m a huge fan again.
The circle of music
Such a banger 👌
Beautiful song Jonathan
Incredible!!! 🔥🤘🔥
This is my favorite song on CotN, awesome to see a music video for it!
How did I miss him dropping another original album??? This is incredible, as always!
No idea how many people will get this, but this song feels like it could be about Emporer Belos
I need some animatic to this song from the toh fandom
It’s about police brutality
But yea.
Belos absolutely a commentary of our real life villains- they see themselves as the “hero’s” as they commit heinous acts
And the coven system represents all those systems that try to scrub us of our color and individuality. And there are good people in the system (Lilith, Hunter, Steve, ect) who are blind to how they are reinforcing a form of oppression (one that also is detrimental to themselves)
So, you aren’t wrong this fits with the plot of the Owl House….. because the show is a commentary / reflection of real world issues. With a fun fantasy spin and the most satisfying villain death.
Watch out for real world Belos’s…. And know we can stop them
Love your work! You always make My day ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the video.
Why am I JUST NOW listening to this?! Bro is the judge, jury, and executioner!
Thumps up to the guy who made this video. This really felt like I was watching a 1960's music video! I was transported to a different era!
