      This is the title track of their new album being released on Jan 19th. I'm really looking forward to it.

    Yet another song I loved and would never have found if not for this channel! Cool stuff. I liked your comment regarding the "human effort" put into the drum work; you certainly can hear the effort and I do think it adds a lot. Sprain's recent album has some similarly frantic percussion, mixed with other noise to create some really amazing soundscapes

    They said it was mainly influenced by King Crimson's "Red" album

    Like a mix of prog sludge like Mastodon and classic psych/space rock with it's more extensive atmosphere building and experimentation. Also, hints of Gojira in some shouted singing and detail work.
    Really good stuff and I want more!

    The lyrics are actually quite interesting:
    We've seen the monuments of Gods
    Rising from the dust to the sky
    We've heard the thunder and seen the lightning
    Heralding a storm from the depths of time
    We felt the wind and the rain on our skin
    Our faces lifted to the clouds
    We were thousands, we were one
    Now the human age is gone
    The engines fire burning like million suns
    Fury as a flame in the eyes of daughters and sons
    And from the torn sky are falling angels
    Hell-fire engines
    And from the torn sky are falling angels
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Chorus]
    Fury as a flame
    Shining in their eyes
    For now and forever
    They will wander in space among the stars
    Until they become a long forgotten tale
    Fury as a flame
    Shining in their eyes
    For now and forever
    They will wander in space among the stars
    Until they become a long forgotten tale
    Fury as a flame
    For now and forever
    Fury as a flame

    Seen them live a couple weeks ago, if you like them on album, you MUST see them live. They are just fantastic.

    If you listen to the full album all the way through, some of the stuff right at the beginning are clips/lyrics from other songs on the album.

    Nice! It reminds me the late 80s and early 90s albums of Vágtázó Halottkémek, a shaman hungarian band

    • @greggerypeccary
      @greggerypeccary 11 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, there is a slight resemblance to VHK, but it's missing Attila's madness/genius... and the overall sound (especially vocals) reminds me more of early Killing Joke.

      When I saw this song live in 22 in Bristol it blew me away and from 9:30 on Killing Joke was absolutely top of mind!

    Really dug this. Like a proggy/psych version of sludge/stoner rock/metal. Really enjoyed the overall atmosphere. A couple of the jam-band parts overstay their welcome a bit, but that's a minor criticism.
