    this song has so much in it, and you really have to just sit and listen to the whole thing to get it. feels like it takes you on a journey across a continent. and the other thing is that the singers are so talented. their voices just ring out right when it's important, moments like 4:30-4:52 just stand out. and the MUSIC, the power that comes out at 8:14 was unbelievable the first time I heard it. that descending motif at 8:46 makes me feel something that I felt maybe only once before, I can't even really describe it. like right at the moment you know you'll never return home, that your old life is gone forever. god damn this track is wild, there's nothing else like it

    How can a band be so good and so underrated at the same time? It makes no sense

    • @jukedem
      @jukedem 3 роки тому +4

      Who knows, it pisses me off too how it’s so common for good bands to be overshadowed by other popular bands, but those are more popular because of their mainstream elements in their songs, don’t get me wrong, bands like that are also great but bands like this who stray from the norm should also have a chance and should be listened to just the same as the others.

      Why would you want something as good as this to be wasted on the masses? A bunch of Orcs who have no taste, creativity, no understanding of music theory. I like that I have "my" music which is unknown to them, untainted by mediocrity...

      @@LintRiggs_ True but what about the bands, saying you don’t want them to be popular just because u want them to yourself is selfish. These bands deserve so much more than what they already have and even though I agree with you to some extent, I would be way happier for the bands if they got the attention they deserved.

    I've been listening Xanthocroid for about 6 or 7 years, i feel so blessed for knowing this band, they were so underrated, i think the band had an Sad and Beautiful end. They made a fucking last album separeted in two parts, both had good songs, it's sad to think that they won't do it again..I.hope to be wrong, but Matthew lives in one city and Sam and his wife lives in other, now they have a family and it seems like they put music aside.

      Sam released a solo album on spotify a few years ago and Matthew works for a video game music studio, both did not give up on music, you should give a listen to their more recent work, though it's very different from xanthochroid

Basically makes your usual video game ost, and while it's decent, it's nothing interesting, comparably to some other game composers I know of (Darren Korb/Ashley Barrett, Chris Christodolou, Christopher Larkin, Hakita).

    //The sound of a glinting blade//
    I heard the Forest sing
    Songs of my youth
    I’d never felt such pain before
    You held my hand that day
    You were my Sun before the dawn
    The darkened morning I have loved so long
    I don’t recall that day
    And I never thought of you when I cried
    You know the place
    And I never wondered why
    Where memory sleeps and secrets hide
    You left so suddenly
    Silence fills this place
    Naught but a memory of your embrace
    You, servile and sweet
    Soft as the sediment beneath our feet
    Far beyond the trees
    We roamed
    Yet, now, I plead:
    Recall the plans we made
    Dreams once so bold
    The jealous Sun stood still and cold
    What now has time revealed?
    A tepid pool of youth misspent
    A faded tapestry of dreams undreamt
    Strange, how you recount
    Wanton days, blissful nights
    Strange, as it seems,
    There was suffering
    And pain you never knew
    How could you?
    Do not welcome Death
    He offers no peace
    For even in death
    We will know the pains
    We have left behind
    Far beyond the trees
    I long to be
    A deeper stream
    Free from
    Flows endlessly
    Your incessant dream
    Toward my dream
    //The sound which has no name//
    No ancient script
    Was ever writ
    No jewel-decked throne
    On which to sit
    Soaring high,
    The Watcher waits
    To slake his thirst
    To clean his plate
    His jaws agape
    His claws unfurled
    The Winged-Watcher
    Swallows the world
    The oceans rise and fall
    With his heaving chest
    And in the wind
    We feel his breath
    No cries are heard
    No tears are wept
    For wise ones know
    The bond once kept
    The price he asked;
    The cost of death:
    A single drop,
    Still glistening wet,
    Of crystal'd pain
    To pay a debt
    As time went on
    The debt accrued
    And we foolish Men
    The price refused
    Now all is lost
    And we, Erthwile
    Peer at the stars
    Through his crooked smile
    Your soul is crumbling, rotting
    Beneath the chains of hate
    Can you hear those mournful, helpless cries?
    The sound which has no name
    Open your eyes
    The blackened fog has blinded you
    And with this darkness you have shrouded
    Our deep and wooded home
    He is our fatal end
    Our recompense
    He is the fear
    We all can sense
    The creeping serpent
    The reeking breath
    The fangs of Erebus
    The certainty of Death
    The fangs of Erebus
    The certainty of Death
