Message to the band "VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY"........I'm a musician from Australia. Heard your music for the first time the other day. Have absorbed so much of it in such a short time. Your music is brilliant, the blended instruments traditional and new, the ability to be a big band and reduced to a small band of 3, maintaining the essence of your music true!. YOU GUYS ROCK! AND THIS ALBUM IS EPIC AND HAS STRONG FOUNDATIONS TO TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, YOUR LYRICS ARE INSIGHTFUL, INSPIRING, AND ENLIGHTENING. THANK YOU 🙏👍👍👍
By doing this unique side quest in listening to 80-90s Japanese jazz for a full day I managed to get a reward which is the UA-cam algorithm recommending me this.
I happened to be listening to this and Masayoshi Takanaka's prog stuff for a year or two. Combine that with Jojo fans usually being Jrock fans that get exposed to prog by looking up the names Araki uses and you get a bridge between experimental Japanese music and the stoner side of rock.
It's one of the final level bosses, if UA-cam recommends you this album it's because you've passed the tests and shown incredible musical taste, so congratulations to you!
@@jrrarglblarg9241 @jrrarglblarg9241 Oh how interesting these side quests are! Personally, I had to listen to a lot of Balkan (Greek and Bulgarian mostly) and Gypsy folk music. Then secondary quests in the 70's Turkish Psyche then Byzantine, Arab and Assyrian Christian chants and I finally arrived here after listening to ancient slavic pagan music and synthwave on the same day ! I discovered Ozgur Baba because of you and I enjoy it very much, thank you !
when finding great art, I usually overlisten to the point where I can't even look at the album art anymore. since I found this gem, I have been listening for over a week in pastime, during work, and it feels fresh everytime I listen again. wow. thank you.
To the people who discovered this album or this genre in general. There's a series of compilation albums called "Weedian", they explore "stoner rock" around the world by country. You are in for a big surprise. :D
I'm going through some serious changes in my life, at 39 years old. After using drugs and alcohol for almost 20 years, my life was in ruins. I found myself homeless, and in and out of hospitals due to underlying and quite serious health issues. This album got me through the darkest of those days. I'd listen to it every chance I got. Now that I'm in recovery, I can listen to it again! I've been sober for 51 days today. Sitting here jamming out, and enjoying being me. Truly incredible. It's amazing how much music has helped me on this incredibly tough, challenging, and brutal journey. I'm not always happy that I'm sober today, but I know it's the best choice I've ever made. I'm finally finding out what makes me tick. Thank you for making this incredible music. I cannot do anything to possibly repay you. Just know that there's someone out there who loves what you do, and making this album was worth it.
Just found this. WOW. This is some of the best jams I have heard in a dog's age. It is wonderful to say hello to the entire world community through shared love of art and to KNOW that we are all the same with one love and one soul. The politicians of the world lie and divide us while art and knowledge has the power to unite us. From a friend in the U.S., one love to all as our species moves to the day we will live in the stars. When I smoke and close my eyes I think of you all......all of you. I want you to know that I KNOW your lives, your loves and your dreams are real and have MEANING. I am glad we could meet here with this music, in this time and place. End the wars, end poverty and let's take our place in the heavens in THIS LIFE!!! Peace and love to you all.
The blues pentatonic scale, meeting with the pentatonic rhythms of ancient greek music of Epirus. Ancient greek Askavlos, and Balkan Clarinet, interchanging and overlapping high output humbuckers from a Les Paul. Mighty basslines accompany snare drums, ride and crush cymbals, in a rhythmic wave. All of these with the most fitting stoner vocals. Very good production. Wonderful songwriting. This will be a classic album for this generation, and the ones to come in the future. Great stuff!!!
in october my girlfriend and me were driving through greece by car , we passed ioannina three days before youtube algorithm led me to this album...We were driving through mani/peloponnes, with all its beautiful breathtaking landscape, from mighty foggy mountains (there was a thunderstorm on this day), green wooded hills and the beautfiul deep blue sea as I decided to give it a try...What than happened was pure magic...It was overwhelming to hear this as the soundtrack to this breathtaking view, my girlfriend could not hold back her tears...Thank you very much for this album! Greetings from Austria!
So glad I found my way here after years of curating my feed. It's nice to discover and experience more dark post rock. Guitars, acoustic and electric, are just such a beautiful-sounding instruments.
I have listened to this album over and over again, dozens and dozens of times over the last years. It still gives me goosebumps and it is still inspiring to the point that it seems to awaken some sensation of... awe and... amazement within me. Every single time.
@@Hristaquissomebody left me links for two bands, this one and Sleep Token and I'm one song. in here. I think I fuckin love it here, too. I spent a week on the first band, at least and now, I feel a bit guilty. Everything in it's time, I suppose
I am a aquarius ♒..I just turned 52 and I remember the old song but this one is a complete different feeling to it..I love it. Its just as young as i am amazing forever young forever full of fire..rock on zuse.
Absolutely shocked at how I accidently stumbled upon this album. I almost stopped working on my project coz i couldn't find something good to listen to, but this album found me somehow. This is some legendary shit.

I knew about this album, and listened it in the past... not sure why it did not grab me back then, but I kept it in my car's playlist. Something happened just before the end of the year of 2021. I was on a long trip, snowy everywhere, this album started and I decided to leave it going... One week later... can't stop listening to it, few times manly tears of joy and revelation went down from my eyes.

The thing is i have never had a revelation so big in my entier life. Listening to this gave me back the hope that everything will be ok in my life. It shoked me to hear so deep and meaningful lyrics, as well as authentic greek folk music combied in such a tasteful manner with metal. And also, listening to this at 4 in the morning, in complete darkness, made my imagination gone wild. Thank you so much for your music. It made me happy in a low point of my life. Thank you!
sunday night, i just saw such an interesting name in my suggestions. glad i clicked it... awesome record!!. my 74 year father is sitting next to me listening to it and telling me how good it sounds! thank you!
Greetings from Serbia my brothers! You've got it! Beautiful album, filled with emotions and understanding for something on the other side,love every second of this record!Keep them coming!

Don't know how, but youtubes algorithm has been on point lately. I'm glad to have discovered these guys before it was 10 years too late like most bands.
Man Greece sure has the US beat with rock music right now for sure. This album sounds like one of those absolute classics from the more intelligent forward thinking "Indie" rock bands right around year 2000 or so. Like the album you throw on with a few chill friends over and just let play and enjoy. Good stuff gentleman. Perfect mix of energy, mood, emotion, awesome production while still being raw! And has that timeless sound to it. Bravo. And this is from a 42 Yr rock musician birthed in the heyday of seattle rock and still here and still hopefully bands like this will keep things going.
I am a fan of rock music and if I need to listen to Greek rock, then that is what TF I am going to do now. I also feel it very difficult to enjoy new music. I can dig this! It's great!
Απο το 14 με το Riza έλεγα τι μπαντάρα είναι αυτή, αλλά δυστυχώς μάλλον θα χαθούν όπως πολλές Ελληνικές μπάντες. Και τώρα σκάτε με αυτό το δίσκο και τρώω μια φάπα ΝΑ!! Μπράβο ρε παιδιά! Δεν ξέρω τι να πω.. Περιμένουμε πολλά από εσάς!
Came home from their concert 2 hrs ago in Belgrade. What an experience.. 🙌👏🤘well done neighbours, a class act!! Entrance and for the inoccent were so damn good, not to forget millennial blues witch was such a refreshment!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This appeaerd in my youtube feed randomly, and let me say, it's one of those times I'm glad I decided to click on the video. really great stuff, will definetly listen to more.
You guys have so much soul. I haven't listened to an album this much since Steely Dan Royal Scam came out when I was a senior in college. Thank you for the wonderful feelings. Please do more of these master works.
The skill is soul rendering. The bagpipes and kaval, the keyboards echoing through space and time. "The arrival" is a love letter to everyone and everything.
I dont comment here at all but had to this time... Listened entire album in one shot and It's a masterpiece... Impressed so much, different feelings i had with each song! Mind blowing... WoW Warm greetings and hope to see you here in Turkey...
wrong; most quality albums and bands arent mainstream popular like Naxatras or 1000mods. not denying that those 2 bands arent quality but just saying it has views exact like it should.
@@Sonic_sorceressI didn't say that. They don't need recognition to be a good band, but they are a good band and they deserve recognition. If they are successful, they will be able to continue playing music and we will be able to continue enjoying it. 😉 By the way, I love 1000mods. Take a look at these other bands, you might like some of them: Brutus, Toundra, Russian Circles, Jinger, Black pistol fire, Derby Motoreta Burrito Cachimba.
My girlfriend and I found this album on UA-cam about a year and a half ago and as a Music Fan and a record shop owner, I purchased the hell out of this album and have promoted and exposed others to this masterpiece. It's the 'Parlor's Album of the Year the year it was released on Lp and CD. I feel privileged to listen to this when I do.
I almost never comment on anything on the intrawebs but this album is amazing. One of the most epic sounding things I have ever heard. Simply amazing. - Greetings from the frozen north.
Hey that's quite a comment my friend. Still listening to the 1st song, guy has a hella fucking powerful voice. Hello from the South here in Tennessee my friend.
To be honest i cannot explain in words the way this albul makes me feel. It feels like the songs carefully bypass all of the walls guarding my heart to directly speak to my soul. It has been almost a year since a discovered this album and not a week has passed without me listening to it. No matter how i am feeling (depressed, angry, happy) the songs just hit it right, make me feel heard, listened to, alive. This album is up there together with the initial muse and evanescence albums that i always went back to for the past decade. Truly a masterpiece
I can’t even listen to anything else anymore after this !! The universe answered my quest for the ultimate musical voyage. Villagers delivered the gifts from the lost city !!! I shall listen and worship!!! 🙏🏻
This band and album is fantastic. The lyrics are thoughtful and passionate. The instrumentals are excellent and patient, as if the artists playing them know they could play at a faster tempo and still be good, but that they are in no rush and by taking their time, they work in synchronization to create a masterpiece. Part V feels like a journey through a heart-felt confession and revelation
Очень впечатляет 💜🎸 1. Welcome 0:00 2. Age of Aquarius 2:58 3. Part V 11:41 4. Dance of Night 21:29 5. Arrival 30:02 6. Father Sun 31:54 7. Millennium Blues 40:31 8. Cosmic Soul 49:14 9. For the Innocent 58:17 10. Sparkle out of Black Hole 1:03:20
So it's almost 10 PM here, and the electricity in my neighborhood has been out for hours due to a wind storm. I'm sitting in my back yard gazing up at the universe. The sky is so clear and bright. This is the perfect time and perfect place to discover this album. I'm about 15 minutes in and floating away into the ether. I don't wanna come down.
Wenaaaaa, compatriota :D! Yo acabo de descubrirlo gracias a las maravillas algorítmicas de UA-cam 😁. Es impresionante la música alternativa que sale de Grecia; también ubico Rotting Christ, Septic Flesh y New Zero God. Cosas de la vida XD. Muchos saludos, pero desde Israel :3 🇮🇱
@@GLMusic12 By recognition I was meaning, they should be more well known, brilliant albums like this only get heard by those willing to get away from the mainstream.
Discovered Mother of Millions last year, now I stumble upon this! There's a lot of greatness coming out of Greece as of late! The Muses surely are doing their work properly!
wow, definitely one of the best pieces I had the honour and the joy of listening to. this is absolutely awe- and wholesome. especially the kaval, reminds me of my family's ancestral homeland Greece (yes, we're from Athina).
I have to say, after listening to this album for a couple of years I have come to the conclusion that this may be one of the best prog rock albums I have ever heard. Truly, truly underrated stuff
This spoke to me before I ever clicked it. Listening to it feels like deeply buried memories are being awakened. The music is all around me as well as filling my head.
Outstanding... I'm deeply emotional touching in the botton of my soul... amazing compositions and interpretations... Hearing this in a litle city from Brazil in my solitude quarentine!!!
My wife and I went to Greece on our honeymoon and visited Ioannina as well. We love your country, the beautiful landscape, the waters, the climate and so much culture! You made a very great album! Nice mixture of styles, great voice, great stoner. Also like Universe217 (from Greece) btw. Wish you great succes and fun!

By doing this unique side quest in listening to 80-90s Japanese jazz for a full day I managed to get a reward which is the UA-cam algorithm recommending me this.
Why strain yourself like this?????Just write greek stoner in the search box!!!!!!
I happened to be listening to this and Masayoshi Takanaka's prog stuff for a year or two. Combine that with Jojo fans usually being Jrock fans that get exposed to prog by looking up the names Araki uses and you get a bridge between experimental Japanese music and the stoner side of rock.
I dont listen to 80-90s Japanese jazz but maybe I should, ifn it led you here.
I did nothing to deserve this bounty, but oh, it throbs beautifully.
Idk how i got recommended this. Probbably from deftones. But I like it
It's one of the final level bosses, if UA-cam recommends you this album it's because you've passed the tests and shown incredible musical taste, so congratulations to you!
My quest giver was Ozgur Baba. I had to binge-listen ThraxPunks and Turkish folk music in the same week to get here. Your mileage may vary.
@@jrrarglblarg9241 @jrrarglblarg9241 Oh how interesting these side quests are! Personally, I had to listen to a lot of Balkan (Greek and Bulgarian mostly) and Gypsy folk music. Then secondary quests in the 70's Turkish Psyche then Byzantine, Arab and Assyrian Christian chants and I finally arrived here after listening to ancient slavic pagan music and synthwave on the same day !
I discovered Ozgur Baba because of you and I enjoy it very much, thank you !
@@louis_saint_rose Bless you and enjoy your day.
Amen, it's been 50 yrs 🙏 🙌

I feel like I just won the algorithm lottery. I can not describe how atmospheric this album is and I'm only on the second track.
i am at the welcome track and feel the same way
when finding great art, I usually overlisten to the point where I can't even look at the album art anymore. since I found this gem, I have been listening for over a week in pastime, during work, and it feels fresh everytime I listen again. wow. thank you.
Yeeaaa this slaps. Yuh know, hits different. Make ya feel some type of way type beat.
yes!
To the people who discovered this album or this genre in general. There's a series of compilation albums called "Weedian", they explore "stoner rock" around the world by country. You are in for a big surprise. :D
Thank you
EDIT : This band was in the Greek album compilation.
I discovered Weedian on accident but am a huge fan now. I eat a ton of shrooms and it's my background music now always
Weedian...best band on the planet...😊
@@RollerVol Weedian is not a band as far as I know, is a compilation series.
I'm going through some serious changes in my life, at 39 years old. After using drugs and alcohol for almost 20 years, my life was in ruins.

I completly agree with you my friend❤❤❤❤❤
Everybody chill until the Greeks start making stoner rock
What…? They’re like the leading country when it comes to that genre. It’s more popular there than anywhere else
Yep, its been happening for a while, and it's pretty good. The problem is the distance between there and here...
@@RollerVol It's crazy to think this genre was born in USA but nowadays has a bigger history here in Europe.😮
And MBM to be fair😊
@@marcbasil Can you back that up by facts?
Shoutout to Greece from Germany! It's good to see greece's music flourish around the world. Incredible stuff - the ancients would be proud!

Μπράβο παίδες!
Beautiful and strong music. Mad respect from Ankara / Turkey

What a gem, oh my god... A greek prog rock band? Is this a dream?
Or is this just fantasy?

Listen to 'oniket prantor' album by band Artcell
Holy. Cow. UA-cam recommended you, so I listened and I'm on the floor. Glorious! From the USA
Don't know how, but youtubes algorithm has been on point lately. I'm glad to have discovered these guys before it was 10 years too late like most bands.
First listen, very cool!
This is dope 🤙
Me too. From Hungary. Crying. Absolutelly masterpiece!!! The only one I could compare this is 666 from A.Child
I have the same feelings. From Poland.
Man Greece sure has the US beat with rock music right now for sure. This album sounds like one of those absolute classics from the more intelligent forward thinking "Indie" rock bands right around year 2000 or so. Like the album you throw on with a few chill friends over and just let play and enjoy. Good stuff gentleman. Perfect mix of energy, mood, emotion, awesome production while still being raw! And has that timeless sound to it. Bravo. And this is from a 42 Yr rock musician birthed in the heyday of seattle rock and still here and still hopefully bands like this will keep things going.
That's exactly the feeling I get from this album.
Please may you recommend some bands, I quite like heavy guitars and drums with awesome riffs but im coming from a metal background such as Gojira
@@natural8677 Listen to Manticora's song Canto.
I am a fan of rock music and if I need to listen to Greek rock, then that is what TF I am going to do now. I also feel it very difficult to enjoy new music. I can dig this! It's great!
Utube brought me here as well. Glad it did! I was sold the 1st few guitar licks and that freekn voice! love the laid back vibe new fan for sure!
Απο το 14 με το Riza έλεγα τι μπαντάρα είναι αυτή, αλλά δυστυχώς μάλλον θα χαθούν όπως πολλές Ελληνικές μπάντες. Και τώρα σκάτε με αυτό το δίσκο και τρώω μια φάπα ΝΑ!!
Μπράβο ρε παιδιά! Δεν ξέρω τι να πω.. Περιμένουμε πολλά από εσάς!
This album is the best thing that I found in 2022. THIS is art.

Listen to their album Riza.

This appeaerd in my youtube feed randomly, and let me say, it's one of those times I'm glad I decided to click on the video. really great stuff, will definetly listen to more.
You guys have so much soul. I haven't listened to an album this much since Steely Dan Royal Scam came out when I was a senior in college. Thank you for the wonderful feelings. Please do more of these master works.
This album is absolutely fantastic. Found it on accident, and I'm glad I did. Greetings from America!
The skill is soul rendering. The bagpipes and kaval, the keyboards echoing through space and time. "The arrival" is a love letter to everyone and everything.
I dont comment here at all but had to this time...
Listened entire album in one shot and It's a masterpiece... Impressed so much, different feelings i had with each song! Mind blowing... WoW
Warm greetings and hope to see you here in Turkey...
4 millions views is awesome, but this masterpiece deserves much more.
Let us be the lucky ones then ;)
wrong; most quality albums and bands arent mainstream popular like Naxatras or 1000mods. not denying that those 2 bands arent quality but just saying it has views exact like it should.
For those who know. This set will be remembered, replayed and rejoiced. Cogito ergo sum
@@Sonic_sorceressI didn't say that.
They don't need recognition to be a good band, but they are a good band and they deserve recognition.
If they are successful, they will be able to continue playing music and we will be able to continue enjoying it. 😉
By the way, I love 1000mods. Take a look at these other bands, you might like some of them: Brutus, Toundra, Russian Circles, Jinger, Black pistol fire, Derby Motoreta Burrito Cachimba.

Absolutely love 1000 Mods! 😎🔥
My girlfriend and I found this album on UA-cam about a year and a half ago and as a Music Fan and a record shop owner, I purchased the hell out of this album and have promoted and exposed others to this masterpiece. It's the 'Parlor's Album of the Year the year it was released on Lp and CD. I feel privileged to listen to this when I do.

@@jaafarhabib8343 greetings brother.
To be honest i cannot explain in words the way this albul makes me feel. It feels like the songs carefully bypass all of the walls guarding my heart to directly speak to my soul. It has been almost a year since a discovered this album and not a week has passed without me listening to it. No matter how i am feeling (depressed, angry, happy) the songs just hit it right, make me feel heard, listened to, alive. This album is up there together with the initial muse and evanescence albums that i always went back to for the past decade. Truly a masterpiece

This band and album is fantastic. The lyrics are thoughtful and passionate. The instrumentals are excellent and patient, as if the artists playing them know they could play at a faster tempo and still be good, but that they are in no rush and by taking their time, they work in synchronization to create a masterpiece. Part V feels like a journey through a heart-felt confession and revelation

So it's almost 10 PM here, and the electricity in my neighborhood has been out for hours due to a wind storm. I'm sitting in my back yard gazing up at the universe. The sky is so clear and bright. This is the perfect time and perfect place to discover this album. I'm about 15 minutes in and floating away into the ether. I don't wanna come down.
I feel ya
Wonder if you are still floating mate!

I book musicians all over the world… Just came out of the blue and I can’t move, or should I say I’m moving too much. What a wonderful discovery
Since I discovered this album, I just cannot get enough of it. Too bad bands like this don't get the recognition they deserve.
well they were signed by napalm records after this, so I get they did get recognised.
@@GLMusic12 By recognition I was meaning, they should be more well known, brilliant albums like this only get heard by those willing to get away from the mainstream.

Harshness and tough times have their upsides.
This wasn't the kind of music I was trying to listen to at the moment... but it is now!
Exactly how I feel right now
Same. I was in a tech death mood but that changed once I heard this. It's real solid music 🤘
wow, definitely one of the best pieces I had the honour and the joy of listening to. this is absolutely awe- and wholesome. especially the kaval, reminds me of my family's ancestral homeland Greece (yes, we're from Athina).
This is by far, and I am certain of my words, the best album I've heard since a long time ago...!

I have to say, after listening to this album for a couple of years I have come to the conclusion that this may be one of the best prog rock albums I have ever heard. Truly, truly underrated stuff
Its not underrated, 4 million views.
This spoke to me before I ever clicked it. Listening to it feels like deeply buried memories are being awakened. The music is all around me as well as filling my head.
This album is ominous, trippy, cathartic, epic and beautiful. Such a journey.
