Abomasum - by definition - The fourth and final Stomach of a Ruminant....
The reason I called this song Abomasum, it’s because during the writing process, I’d had chance to digest the other songs we’d written, and think about how I wanted to shape the record, and this was the 4th song we wrote.
In terms of the concept side of this album track - it’s the idea of this person digesting his failures to uphold his responsibilities in his life, causing further troubles and struggles.... it’s a slippery slope, thus leading to an internal mental battle through sadness, anger and lastly hope.... mania to put it simply.
Rabea Massaad Awesome work and deep explanation! Thank you for your music an inspiration
Love the album! hope to see you touring in Argentina. Cheers!!
You always deliver on the sort of band/songwriting details im curious about! Keep up all the awesome
Turned out awesome man!
I like the atmosphere that your creating with the video with the shadows and silhouettes. It fits with music . The intro is good establishing the mood and feel of the song. Your transitions are good. I love your use of dynamics and feel you brig with your band.
I really enjoy this. Thank you
For being awesome!
The singer is killing it!
Chris Hepburn I know man, it’s hard to keep up with them! Such pipes🙌🙌🙌
@@RabeaMassaad I've listened to the album so much that I've already memorized the lyrics. Nice work guys.
I was gonna say these vocals are amazing. The lyrics got me like woah!
Am I listening to the right song? I hear no vocals.
@@ryanhoward3028 it's a joke.
this is the perfect song for those times when it's cold outside, yet colder inside
oh shit, that's pretty metal
@@guitarrock58 HAHA sorry dude
Basically depressed
That bass does things to me
I had the album playing yesterday all day in my lab at the UC San Diego School of Medicine; Toska officially has a neuroscience lab sponsor now. My staff and grad and med students love it. I'm giving extra credit to the student who can first accurately name all of the time signatures played in on the album. Thanks for the notes on the writing process and concept development. Congrats to you, Ben, and DAVE. If you ever tour SoCal and need help here, I'm a devoted fan.
2nd that point loma san diego
I'm a Neuroscience student at UCL and a big fan of Toska as well and one of my professors is a big prog fan. I wonder if this is a trend among Neuroscientists 👀... Further testing may be required...
@@moffittmusic That's great. Makes perfect sense to me. Neuroscientists tend to be both nerdy and cool--am I right? 😉
The melody, chord structures, and approaches overall (drums, bass, guitar) are just so stand-alone - its own thing. Then there are those spine chill moments, harmony-wise, that hit in a similar way like Layne Staley's vocal harmonies did. It's progressive, yet never comes off as math. It's technical, but never loses an ounce of feel. Toska is just really really great art. Love this.
Once in a Q/A video, someone said Toska sounds like a cold, dark forest or something along those lines. This song feels like Bea took that comment to heart. It’s an amazing song with lots of different textures. Bea, Ben and Dave, you all should be mighty proud of yourself, this album is a culmination of all those hours put in. From that first “Bea’s Last Performance at ACM”, to now. We’ve heard so many bits and pieces of these songs in vlogs. It sounds well... exactly as Bea himself said it, it sounds like the sound the guys had in their head. Really, really love the album, really love the themes of it. Hoping there’s gonna be a kickass making of for this album! Thanks for the music guys and thanks to the people at DarkFable for these music videos!
This album is the best thing that ever happened
Who else, at 3:57 gets BTBAM? Now that is purposeful obviously ...Rabea Massad's tone is unparalelled. Thanks for being such an awesomely creative, unique, and inspiring band!
For me this is the best song on the album. Pleasantly suprised by how much I like the album as I'm not normally into the prog stuff, but songs like Abomasum, when I listen to them , I don't get tired of the song and by the end its just a journey musically that you didn't realise lasts over 8 minutes. It's brilliant. Never thought an instrumental progressive metal album would be in my top 10 albums of the year, but I guess it is now haha.
That’s really really really good. And I mean really really.
Everyone involved in the making of this album should be incredibly proud. It's insane! Such a step up from Ode to the Author, and that was a masterpiece in itself!
Fire by the Silos.....listened to the album front to back....heavy, deep.....pass it on.
You guys may or may not read this but here is my 2 cents from the album after listening it for almost 8 hours at work: matured, grown up, self-conscious are probably the adjectives I can give it right now. For most part seems to be a very personal album, somehow feels that everything there has an hedonistic lure, with this I mean that was made by the band for the band, thinking first what you guys want to play and what you guys enjoy, and I think that is great. It's not made to impress how technical or proficient you guys could be, is like painting with the right colors and not choosing them all for the sake of using all shades of colors available. What I like the most is that it sounds timeless which is good, which is actually excellent because it won't become obsolete like all trends. Love how the album starts and how it ends, somehow the ends is at the same time the welcome (intro) to the intro, so the production is like a loop. Anyhow, you guys were good before, your previous production was really good as well, but this is another level and because that I can say that I can put Toska now just there with my favorite bands like Russian circles, ISIS, Pelican etc, etc. Well done 👍
You guys, and especially Ben have really smashed it out of the park with this album, the drumming particularly in this song is so so so good. It's great hearing that you've taken your influences, digested them and brought them back into your own original music. Like hearing Karnivool in this song at 7:02 and Porcupine Tree in Congress. Breathtaking stuff guys.
This is one of those bands I'll show everyone and ask them to listen to...because maaan they're missing out.
I see Rabea Massaad, I click the thumbs up button. At this point I know it's going to be amazing even before watching it. A Sounds Like video, Toska, a gear review, something with Leo and Frog Leap, it doesn't matter what it is it's going to be killer.
Very big Karnivool 'Sound Awake' vibes to this one! Love it.
My favourite band strikes again!!!
This isn't normally the type of music I listen to, but I wanted to check it out I'm glad I did - it's fantastic and the amount of work you guys put into this is evident! The production quality, and guitar tone, are at Dream Theater levels - just amazing work!!
ooohh my good the divebomb at 6:18 is one of a kind in the whole metal history !!
This sounds great, but it really is a backing track. There's a wonderful, epic, astounding song in there. I only realised after about 5 minutes the floating lady wasn't suddenly going to make it into one.
The problem I always have with instrumental metal is there's never any room left for atmosphere because the drums are bascially a storm of beats. This is spacious, lots of room for the bass which sounds incredible and the mix puts everything just far enough apart to give the composition real presence without one element being overwhelming. Now I'm really glad I got myself the CD version! The section starting around 4:30 sounds gorgeous!
Wow. That blew me away.. from the first notes to the chewy feedback at the end.. sheer class!
Dig. Love how Dave’s bass is not pushed back in the mix. It is an equal third if not more. Outstanding. Great stuff.....even in Illinois! Cheers guys.
even though i have amazon music unlimited, i'll be buying this album now, and listening to it today during work.
not one for harry potter references, but, be, in those full band shots, you do look like a young version of hagrid rocking out 🤣😂
Listening to this until now is what I needed to love instrumental prog metal/post metal again
I liked "Ode To The Author" but I am enamored with "Fire By The Silos". Absolutely top notch, Bea! There were moments that brought a tear to my eye it was so moving.
Revolution is here. Why is this so underrated?!
I love this. It isn't over the top. I sounds like something that should be in a spy movie. The deep bass notes get me... I hate when instrumetals get too long. This is perfect.
Far out this album is special. Listened to it 3 times completely through yesterday, and I have to say, the initial shock and awe hasn't left me when listening to these pieces. Really fantastic work Bea, Dave and Ben. Thank you for your art.
Very nice song!!! First, there is a lots of things to process when listening to an 8 minutes song. I had to listen a couple of time to appreciate all the details. What I like in this song is the different mix of tempo, clean tones and distortion, the different transition between those tones and tempos. Like the ambient mood created in the beginning and in the end. I think Rabea's appreciation of ambient sound is well reflected in that song. The drumming part is very nice and it complete all the melody. I appreciate that you have a nice balance between all the instruments. The bass part is subtle and give power when it is time. The melody at 2:32 is really nice. You did a great job on this one for sure!!! As for the video, love it. We dont need a lot of thing to happen cause it would have distracted us from the music. And the mood created with the light in the back and the dark in front is just perfect to see a bit of action. It is nice to see you all play but the music is the important part here!!! Well done!!!
Same brother... same.
Bea and Dave's hair looks so badass in this light.
You know you've struck gold when you find a band who consistently puts you on the verge of tears AND have you headbang like a madman without saying a word. You don't listen to Toska, you experience Toska. And throughout that experience, I'm constantly left in awe: amazed at the perfect structure, melody, and FEELING. One can only hope to become a musician who can create something half as beautiful as this.
I'm getting light Alcest vibes from it. And I think that's beautiful.
Yes! Just bought the album and will be listening all day tomorrow at work.
The mixing on this album is so fire
I love it when music takes me to that "other" place
My favourite song off the new album. Cant wait to see you guys live on Friday!
many dynamic, such bass, much wow
6:10 and onward gave me major goosebumps
I love this! With the singer it would steal my heart.
6:11 those chugs and that snarling bass, interspersed with the strummed chords... jesus that's one of the most badass things I've ever heard. Probably my favorite track off the album thus far, so glad y'all made a video for it.
I want to sleep on a bed made from Rabea's guitar tone. Awesome tune!
@BeaFro - I just watched Ben's vid for the launch and it made me think how much you lads really deserve the good vibes and love coming your ways. You dudes have always been strikingly open and humble about your music, and it's a bloody credit to you all as people. So a heartfelt and thouroughly deserved "bloody nice one fella!".
I really dig this tune. In my opinion you guys are the best 3 piece band currently going.
Either my favorite song, or second favorite. Undecided as of yet. I came to this conclusion on my fourth, but not final, play through.
Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.... this tracks flawless
This bass tone is crushing ribbs. Dudes. You are sick. Awsome track
this music of yours feels like a very well-constructed bridging between all the good things in life
So many awesome moments in this track...
Astounding! What a video, wat a track, whan an album! Thanks Rabea and guys!
Gave me chills across the pond here in the States!
The lyrics really hit home. Razing and evocative.
My Favorite SONG in the world right now....hands down
There hasnt been a Player come out like Rebea in a very Long Time.....Very Powerful Work!!!
This was channeled. You guys opened yourselves to receiving it.
I loveeeeeee the odd meter stuff, and the bass tone is enormous. Good job, such a good job @RabeaMassaad 👌👌👌
Very intricate and almost "held back" until the release at 6:12 ; I really dig this. A very well crafted piece.
Freaking awesome! Toska is winning. So are we.
Just bought the album. Yowza!
you're the best guys !!!!! amazing job as always !!
Holy crap this song gets intense. I'm not sure which is my favourite yet but it's up there.
The drums sound so...
Real 💙
Fantastic guys! I am so happy for you all, this track kicks ass, can't wait to download the album!!!
Love the textures and feel of your guitar work Bea! Well done man!
That didn't feel like an 8 minute track, very cool
Damn this is pretty gnarly considering it's named after the fourth stomach of cud-chewing animals
I knew about Dorje few years ago, very happy to discover Toska, amazing sound. I love the instrumental vibe that was chosen here. Incredible melody, 12/10!
Definitely my favourite song of the album!
Love it all, especially 2:50 with the fuzz and then the way it builds. Think this is your best yet.
What an atmosphere .. Even without words, with all the complexity you manage to create such a comunicative music. Thanks, love you guys
11/10 absolute banger can't wait to get the time to actually sit and listen to the whole album.
Completely amazing tones and atmospheres!! Really love this song!! Good work dudes!! 🤘😎🎸
Already listened to the album a whole lot. It works so well as a whole I don't think I could name a favourite track, that said as a stand alone piece this is right up there!
Wow. I listened to this yesterday through my Bandcamp account and had my eyes closed - felt like I was floating after about a minute in. Then I see this video and see her floating. Kinda freaked me out. So cool, guys!
Never have I looked forward to an album quite as much as this one... And you guys bloody delivered. Still one of the best three-piece bands I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Now just the wait for new Dorje. I know you guys and Rob will do us justice \m/
ive been waiting for this kind of music for years
Absolutely Fantastic, guys!!! Love it!
Dude.....Woaaah!! 🥇🥇🥇🥇
this album i have listened 4 times on spotify already . this is one of the most musically complex, emotionally driven music i have heard . you have a amazing way you write you music . i feel every emotion on this album . fear,hate,sadness,lust,revenge,love..... just to name a few . that is incredible ...... you guys are a major influence on how i hear and write my music. i wish you had USA tours but maybe someday .
Those "Tools" vibes at the end !!! Great!
That last 2 minutes tho🔥
Simply amazing!
Awesome song! Great production quality. Congratulations Rebea! You deserve it.
I only just now discovered this band, and you cannot believe how glad I was to not see any microphones set up for vocals. Stuff like this is just instantly better as instrumental music. Very nice.
That Karnivoolesque intro though :)
So good, guys - love it. Looking forward to see you in Hamburg!
Yes! This is my favourite track of the album! So many cool vibes
Great song. Ben's drums are awesome!
I have been playing these tracks non stop since 12 a.m. the night it came out except for a little sleep obviously. Rabies and the boys are so inspiring. This kind of music is a journey. It’s something you “listen” to. There is too much music that can be thrown on in the background, but this requires you to pay attention to the emotion and feel a story. Great job and this is why I will always support this band, just stellar songwriting and performing. The mix is done very well too and the energy builds in your guys songs are just immense. All the head banging man...that doesn’t even do it justice! Great work gents!
outstanding!!!!! simple amazing.
Absolutely insane. I really appreciate the writing inspiration you guys have given me, adding another great flavour into my musical palette. The way all of your music fits together perfectly really shows what 10 years + playing together creates. The new album is killer! Thanks guys
Just great ! Congrats!
Ooooooh yeeeaahh. Great song, great sounds. The volume of Hi-Fi its always at 10 level
A good soundtrack to walk into a foggy day. Ace.
I've been super hyped for this album since it got announced and it lives up to it in every way. Really well done!
Rabea is a great player. You can hear so many influences in his playing.
Amazing! My favorite song of the album.
Keep making wonderful music bea!
Lovely. 😍
Absolutely outstanding!!!
8:13 is not enough! We need more! Will defiantly have to buy this album.
