- Animated video created by Andy (Leffer) Lefton and directed by Fin McAteer. After 20+ years of silence, a long awaited visual element has been created for the bands most recent and epic number, Knight of the Black Sun.
What an awesome song.
Okay kids, I've been listening to Amebix since the early 80's and they inspired many of my actions in my young adult life. If you listen to this and don't hear progression with the roots of Amebix blended in then your loss. This actually is where the band was progressing with songs like Right To Ride and my all time favorite Coming Home. Hats off Rob... Cheers
Well said buddy the most underrated band in UK history from the MOOR and Tavistock to this masterpiece, is a mind blower I'm now nearly 60 yrs young ❤❤❤
Amebix is the best
The emotion in this song is just over powering. I get chills everytime i listen to it.
Indeed........ cheers
10 years later, after your comment, we still feel it inside.
I totally relate. Everything about the song is beautiful
Me too .
Boring, had such things heard a thousand times before...
I honestly couldn't care any less about what other people think, this record is flawless and is easily my favourite album from 2011.
UUUUUGHHHAAAHH...Is this the most CRUDE, best ever done videoclip of all times or what !?!? Lost the path after "Monolith" and Just found this yesterday...shame on me...the way they packed their strong symbols with a true message here is just stunning...i 've become addicted again, hail AMEBIX !!!
This track gets better with every listen.
yep
Yessir
This song is very nostalgic. It sounds just as powerful now as it did when I first discovered it 12 years ago.
Long live Amebix!
So from the rooftops call it out
You where always free
Yes from the rooftops call it out
And ever may you be ...
EPIC!!!
Total Masterpiece
'...the hands of clocks are bound and time itself is stopped...'
It is hard to express how much the Amebix have meant to me over the past 20 / 25 years or so since I first heard them around the time of the Monolith album. When I first heard news of the reformation I did not expect new music... but the rumours filtered through of a new album.Finally found this a few months ago, listened, with trepidation, but -'rejoice, the great god fear is dead'... A work of genius - roll on the equinox!
the building and structure of this song is just amazing
proves they still got it. please go and do it again
simply a masterpiece , as a song and whole album !!!
I'm a Vet..thank for not making me feel Alone ...and ask......fugg...I'm Speechless...I am grateful for The Amebix....I listened to Them during Iraq,..They helped me make sense of a Tired World
thank you Jennifer.
Rob was also a vet (and I’m a marine vet 😬)
Excellent video, excellent track. Can't believe this is more than 20 years old.
It is amazing, how each note, each text phrase, you can truly FEEL. This song is epic...
made me cry! great song awesome band!!!!
Randy Blythe brought me hear. He wore an Amebix tee and i loved the image and came here to hear their stuff. I was not disappointed!! Thanks Randy!!! 🤘🏼
It may be a new sound, but it still has the same immense atmosphere as the old stuff. If you think it doesn't sound like Amebix, chances are you've never actually listened to Amebix. And I do mean really, properly listened.
Thank you for coming back with this. There are many, both young and old, who could learn from this.
Amazing. Must have watched this about 30 times or more. Sonic Mass is a superb album. I need more!
Just stumbled across the video again after a few glasses of wine. I've been playing the Sonic Mass CD since it first came out and I still love it to death. It's up there with Arise and Monolith. Up the punks.
Love the "splat head" in the crow's eye at the end. Thanks Andy, you made my night!
This is one of my favourite songs of all time, I put it on when I leave my house n I feel like I'm about to embark on something fuckin epic!
Well said!!
hell yes. conquering a mountain
TheOnlyUssher its very different from pre-Amebix,but ya its so beautiful
Bang on, until recently I spent 8 years commuting to see my fiance about a 3 hour train ride away most weekends, would get in from work early finish Friday afternoon and have 30-45 mins to get cleaned up finish packing and head off to the station. So many times would plan the cd so when I was out the shower and doing final bits would be finishing with this monster tune, turned up on the NAD amp, arms in the air and feeling great to be fucking alive, a monster tune of power and positivity, worked for me big time!!
I'm driving to my normie wage job and I feel like I'm about to walk into the doors and fight the demiurge himself.
How more you listen to this song, how more the ending of it gets you! Amazing!
"rejoice, the great god fear is dead"
Love how it is written in Ogham
really love there music. find it great for clearing my head when im annoyed or generally when im travelling on a long journey.
awesome song and killer video?the mighty AMEBIX killing it big time?
overwhelmingly epic song and video. hail amebix!
WOW...
I have loved Amebix since the early days.
I see and feel..
chilling. and beautiful.
This song is to great for words, i dont expect any less from these legends.
Got to admit i never heard of this band before hearing this on Team Rock radio tonight. But this is EPIC and the video is genius!!!
These guys are brilliant. They really tapped into some sort of primal creative energy out on that lonely moor way back when, and it seems that said energy is still with them.
Eternal respect to you Amebix
Amebix .... thanks for such exciting sounds .... no one equals !!!!!!
SWEAR TO FUCK THIS IS JUST BRILLIANT STUFF!!...KEEPS COMING BACK TO HAVE A LISTEN!!
the hell of a brilliant , come back album !!! GODLY ...
Stunning video! This is outstanding work.
One of my favourite bands.
Love it!! Just awesome.
This song and video still has me in awe, I can't wait to get my hands on the album.
Awesome and such emotional Song and Video! Remind me of Primordial -where greater man has fallen! Please more!
The'Baron'.Say no more,he is a great example for us to follow!Better a wolf than a lamb!😊😊😊
Still blows my mind after a hundred listens
Wow! This is so very feckin' good, I can't wait for the album.
@3:58 the chills that passage brings. 🤘🤘
Great tour, good video and a killer new track!! Can't wait for a full lp!!!!!!
Great Song! Great Video! Can't wait to get the new album! Cheers!
I was there at the Longacre Hall, Amebix ruled and made the hairs on my neck stand up then, and this track has the same effect years later. If you don't like it I don't see any chains holding you down....awesome atmosphere...POWER REMAINS!
I think this has to be my favourite song of the last 5 years or so. Fucking brilliant tune.
Cant wait to listen to the rest....cheers!!!
NOT F*CKING LONG ENOUGH.......i could bathe in this.
Nice one Rob Miller and boys....superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best wishes from "the man in the white Transit van" who gave Rob Miller + 15 friends a lift home from Nereen Butler's funeral(many years ago..Ben was sitting beside me, as were many others.....wonder if your memory will recall this Rob??!!!!
You done well kid.
Certainly woke up Midsomer Norton with your stand-out(and awesome indie) dress sense....and it all lead to this, above.
RESPECT.
Great Riffs .remarkable drumming ;)Roy is the man!!!
beauty of a song!!!
indeed We were always Free.not many
Truer words were Free Brothers n Sistah souljahs...WE WERE ALWAYS FREE
this is a great song from a great band. I like with what sound they are heading to.
The song is really great and I am very happy to hear Amebix. All the best with your project!
fantastic art!!!
Some good feedback, some bad feedback. I'll hazard a guess that all the bad is coming from people who were never there. I'm an old bastard and I've been a fan since the beginning. This is quite simply the greatest thing I've heard this year. My vinyl's just turned up in the post a couple of days ago and I for one, can't wait for the album. Roll on September.
Such a great song.
i dig the video and the song. the vocals kinda remind me of Tyla from the Dogs D'Amour. i always loved that raspy, but warm sound he had. can't wait to hear more new tunes!
welcome back saw you guys in the riverside newcastle upon tyne many moons ago,still listen to you regularly.personally i think this song would have fitted easily alongside "last will and testament" from monolith slow start slamming finish but with a reborn edge look forward to hearing the new album.be great t see ya play newcastle again if they ever build a decent venue..riverside/mayfair are long gone unfortunatley...
First I was critical about the reunion.... but when hearing this im fucking glad that you guys do music again... fucking amazing!
This is awesome, this is pure art!
One of my formative memories was in 1982 at the age of 15, meeting Rob in the Studio of Radio West in Bristol during a show called "Punk and Disorderly" hosted by the head of Riot City Records, Si Edwards. The mate with me didn't really get the Anarcho punk thing, asked for his autograph. I cringe even now.
The old imagery had a profound effect on me. I hope this new album doesn't turn them into a parody of themselves. Comments about mystic meanings already? Don't let em drag you down!
This is beautiful
"The idea was to convey the sense that the corrupt forces of this World are ultimately impotent against the strength of the Human spirit, how the buried evil of the Nazi ideology is trapped under its own ice, how a desperate sense of disconnection and loneliness is the driving force for evil men, and the desire to withhold the truth, that we are free."
Amebix Interview with Reflections of Darkness, 2012
Strange how the main man has found himself embroiled in arguments about anti semitism after promoting a holocaust denier on his thank you notes on the last tau cross album
@@peterritson1875 My personal opinion on the matter is that the kind of infowars anarchism that these guys were coming from tends to leave you wide open to conspiracy theories of any kind (especially if you probably deep fried your brain with years of substance abuse). At least we know now that his ideas, if indeed he already held them at this point, did not taint the music of Amebix.
@Dawn Razor any form of government is evil.
@@z.pilote761 Well said.K.O.T.B.S.Forever!
@@z.pilote761 Here,here my man we'll said!
Such a powerful song, such a great video! 🖤
I grew up listening to Amebix. In moments where I had no hope, songs like Chain Reaction saved me. Nope, this doesn't sound like old Amebix, but it's equally as brilliant. A moment of salvation in the darkest hour.
Sounds great! Can't wait for the new record.
excellent...song and video......
What a band!
absolutely anthemic! Awesome!
No gods, no masters... You are god and you are the master of your fate
Absolutely.
I jus love it
The video is simply amazing, The animation is stunning!! isn't it the same crow from Redux's cover artwork?
I really liked the song, too!! it has some great atmospheric post-rock influences, but it's quite different than what the name "Amebix" symbolizes. It think it would've been more clever to release it under a new moniker, aside from Amebix.
Yet, it's great to hear that you guys are still creating music. AMEBIX FOREVER ARISE!!!!
(The video is now saved in my UA-cam playlist!)
Fuck yeah!!!Long live Amebix!!!Thanx for the video........goose bumps, cant wait to listen the all album!!!!cheers
One of the best fuckin songs I've ever heard!
Andy, my man, nice work bro!
-riz-
@mattiacore Agree with every word. They have reached a new level here. Taken the old stuff and really progressed, still keeping their original roots. Excellently put.
Perfeito !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it
Genius.
So far, the new album has a modern Killing Joke type vibe for me. I have absolutely zero complaints on this as modern KJ is crushing. It's a challenging listen, but I'm really liking it so far.
True.
Didn't they inspire early Sepultura as well viz. Max and Igor era ?
amazing
this is great!!
absolutely fantastic!
If we talk about the evaluation, 11 out of a possible 10 is too small !
AMEBIX !
when i`m high on weed, y put this song in repeat and my mind is a storm
Lol yikes
4:00 = Chills.
For the haters - Sure, it's obviously a bit of a polished evolution from the days of Monolith and Arise, but the guts and harsh beauty are still in there, and the very fact that Rob and company have taken the time away from sword-making on far-off Scottish isles to reignite the epic flames of Amebix should have us all feeling very grateful.
The remastered work on Redux was great, too - proof that good production values can be a GOOD THING!
Another U.S. tour, please!
awesome
wow this is different at the beginning
very great song
@amebixngnm best work so far bro, keep em comin!
Punk Metal. Bem tocado.excelente trabalho, parabéns
Amebix back to touch our souls with their wisdom.
You were always free,
And ever may you be.
Fuck. So grateful for this.
Amazing
I think this is one of Amebix best well written and wise lyrics, a lot of references and knowledge are here, it opens a lot of ways to go and study history facts, myths and legends.
I would like to ask you all, what is your interpretation about this song?
All that Jazz I think you really got the essence of the song, it was sort of this interpretation that I had too. Thanks for your comment!
Awesome song :D
indeed man, sooo epic!
Apparently Whiskey isn't the only thing that matures and improves with age.
