I feel really sorry for those people who are missing out on the amazing music like this just because they can`t get passed through "metal is just screaming" phase. The beauty of composition, the passion, the intensity, primal yet complex nature of the songs...what`s not to like about it?
I just heard this for the first time now and I'll tell you what's not to like about it. While I enjoyed the guitars at the beginning waiting for the vocals I was hoping it wouldn't be cookie monster and cringed when it was, I appreciate that's it's very good technically etc for what it is but as somebody who likes bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Manowar and Power Metal like Helloween and Stratovarius one of the main draws for me and I'd imagine many others who don't care for grunty death stuff is how good the singer is, the thing the bands I mentioned have in common is they all have great singers who can sing clean and hit super high notes and epic screams (Eric Adams can hold notes for ages, hit super high notes and still does a bit of growly stuff, Michael Kiske is god at high stuff, John Cyriis from Agent Steel, Halford, Dio etc they can all sing anything, they're all VERSATILE and they can do so much more than just brutal grunts, most of the cookie monster vocal death metal stuff sounds the same to me, even Phil Anselmo from Pantera was awesome back in the day look at him singing Cemetery Gates and matching the notes with Dime, he could do all that stuff before he starting doing crap like Superjoint Ritual. Each to their own but the vocal talent of the likes of a Ronnie James Dio or an Eric Adams piss all over any Death Metal vocalist that's ever existed.
@@gregorycritch2129 100% Facts. I enjoy the instrumentals of Death Metal bands so much. They are energetic, fun and beautiful with those tasty riffs. However, the singing I just can't never enjoy no matter what I try. Probably something that is an acquire taste over time I guess. As you said, it gets boring hearing the cookie monster in every one of these damn songs since they all sound the same, and pretty much ruins the epic instrumentals. Fortunately for this song, the instrumentals are just so cool that I can ignore it this one time. I enjoy the guitar of Jimi Hendrix and the voice of Rob Zombie. Hell, I enjoy Motorhead. His voice is tough from the cigarettes, but not to the point that its comical.
@@RockNRollSurfwas the same for me, but just one day I realised I love it. Slayer helped me a little bit I guess and Opeth, they are just too beautiful

Yes I’d say safely that Napalm pushed the envelope to the extremes, and Carcass turned it into the most incredible artistic expression I’ve ever witnessed. The whole catalog of Caracas’ work, including the newest EP is simply beyond comparison and just when I think they are done and have no more musical wizardry to bestow upon us, I am wrong beyond my own comprehension. I even expected the latest song, “Slaughtered in Soho” to be another very good song. I was wrong. It is simply one of the most beautiful melodies where Bach would be proud of his multi century influence and yet the song is brutal and somewhat comical all at the same time- But that’s Carcass, tongue in cheek, biting the cheek, smiling wryly, triple entendres, deadly serious, and playfully exercising our lexicon past the limits of known verbiage. Between the two albums Necroticism and Heartwork, there are dozens of permutated utterances requiring many hours with a medical dictionary and a musical dictionary for me to decode it all, and the result is even more crazy, beautiful, insightful, and real than any artistic endeavor should be.
2023!!! Carcass' Heartwork album is a masterpiece. I'm from Latin America, and when I first listened to this band, I was captivated by their distinctive sound and those well-structured, commercial riffs, while still maintaining that Grind style.
I first heard this in the early 90s too and you're right Andy M, this is still fresh. My dad always said that music that doesn't age are classics and this definitely forfils that criteria for me as this is still a great tune after all this time!
Best advice on the internet. Go listen all their albums, god even their bsides are mindblowing ! Immortal Carcass, probably best death band. Maybe best extrem metal band.
That is cool man! Do you like metal, or was it just something you was asked if you would like to be a part of? Either way it must be cool to look at the video and see yourself in it :).
That transition at 3:59 is so satisfying! And the tone of the guitars in that short solo shortly afterwards is pure gold. I do not listen to Carcass every day anymore, but coming back to this is a joy!
It was maligned at the time when it came out though. I remember getting it on cassette and sitting and listening with two of my mates. They hated it. They were just a decade ahead of the curve.
This is the first song I've ever heard by carcass and I gotta say I'm amazed by the vocals. They are exactly the type of metal vocals I like. Like I only need to listen to 5 seconds of the vocals to know that I was gonna like this song
I'm the same way for the most part. This is PINNACLE melodic death metal. For me, the vocals don't get better than this in metal or even come close for that matter lol
No compromise, no bullshit, no filler , metal in its purest form. Heartwork is one of the best metal albums ever imo period. Amott and Steer kick ass on this one.
Im old and shit, but this is, in my opinion, still probably the best metal album of all time. I bought this when it came out cause I saw the video, and it changed my life musically. I used to think Metallica was the be all end all. Then i heard Heartwork...Jesus
+colin poitras I fully blame this video for all of my obsession for heavy metal. It was released when i was 6 and was the first music video i saw on mtv at my big brothers friends house. I remember being extremely scared haha. Fucking brilliant album. Also a welder now too, perhaps this video has a lot to answer for!
+colin poitras I remember seeing it for the first time. I wonder if the same person directed it as Morbid angel Rapture and God of emptiness . Seems like their were some subtle similarities.
+colin poitras When i was young non of my neighbours was listening to metallica, my friends showed me death and thrash - there is not enough words to describe how thankful i am. When i grew up and understood lyrics, metal became even more important to me. Few years ago found few metallica songs that are also epic. Anyway... good shit.
🤭I have never understood hypocrite people who think that metal music is not for kids!!! My son loved Morbid Angel before he was 2 years old😊 Why wouldn't we offer the world's finest music for our children!?!? Some adults really seem to think that the devil will take them or shit like that😂
I'm literally crying at how amazing and beautiful this is. I love the guitars and vocals so much. The ending guitar solo gets me every time. I really wish it was longer.
Absolute masterpiece, watershed moment in metal. The entire Swedish Melodic Death Metal genre, most of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal/ Metalcore genre owe huge debts to Carcass and the Heartwork album
The entire metalcore aka scenecore/mallcore genre can get on there fucking knees and worship Carcass as well as the entire catalogue of thrash metal, death metal bands, hardcore/crossover bands from the early 80's to 90's.
Mike Amott is Swedish and was in a Swedish melodic death band called carnage when carcass snapped him up and really he brought a lot of that sound with him so probably carcass have more to thank Sweden for! Now he's in arch enemy of course, he left as soon as this was recorded and not even out I don't think!
Christian Brennan Carnage were just Swedish Death Metal. No melodic imfluences. Also, 90% of the riffs are Bill's. Swedish Death Metal influenced the Gothenberg scene in terms of guitar tone. BOSS HM2 pedal.
I remember when I was 17 and played this song for some friends who thought Metallica was the heaviest metal they'd ever heard. Had to help them pick their jaws up off'n the floor.
@@angelinabla7891 "Heavy" is a somewhat subjective term. I personally consider doom metal and its many derivatives to be the pinnacle of "true" heaviness (slow, crushing riffs, beefy bass, pounding drum sound), whereas death metal is faster, more brutal and aggressive. Death metal is obviously still heavy, but in a different way, and not to the extent of heaviness that riff driven metal bands can provide. Under either definition, I still wouldn't put Metallica anywhere near the tip of a heaviness scale, but they're still heavy, they have slow, driven riffs at times, and to someone who had only heard them (as the original comment said about their friends), then they're obviously gonna be the heaviest thing going until being shown otherwise.
As someone who listens to quite a bit of guitar music, I never understood the "heavy-ness" contest. Besides the fact that it's a completely subjective thing anyway, different bands will just sound different and one genre is not better than another just because it's "heavier". I always interpreted heavy as bassy, lumbering rhythms. By that measure though, there's some Noise rock that is probably much "heavier" than even Carcass here. You typically wouldn't apply that sort of term to a noise rock band however, so I don't really see the point. I realize that throwing the term around is more or less specific to metal, but still, it seems a bit pointless.
I was never a diehard fan of extreme metal but when I first heard ‘Heartwork’ back in 1993 thanks to some school friends, it was a revelation. Carcass had/have so much melody mixed in with their brutal tones, it’s actually really easy listening as far as extreme music goes. Such killer grooves and Jeff Walker’s vocals just had something ultra appealing about it. They were trailblazers of multiple sub genres of metal and each album was a new blueprint. Few of their contemporaries at the time matched their level of melody with heaviness. And almost 30 years later they’re still providing quality!

You gotta love Ken Owen. In a metal world full of mullets, dreadlocks and really long hair, he looks like a preppy private school kid, or a eccy popping raver.....always loved his drumming. This is a guy who pretty much straight out of school said to himself "I wanna play as fast as I can in a grindcore band"....mad respect to him for that. It's an ideal for us all to follow.....
Yeah, Ken stood out from Bill, Mike, and Jeff. He's an amazing drummer on those albums. Only realized many years later that Ken is originally from the village where I grew up - Billinge.
Imaginate a los 14 años ver esto en la mtv quede perplejo y fascinado aquel año 1994 desde ese mismo momento quede enamorado y atrapado sin vuelta atras por la musica metal no existe musica mejor solo los metaleros de la vieja escuela disfrutaron de la verdadera pureza no es lo mismo verlo ahora que en los 90
Ehmm, those aren't actually solos. Those are simply melodic lines integrated into the song. Solos are made for instruments to stand out on their own. This is clasic music theory in its absolute basics.
These guys did, at the gates, in flames, and dissection were the most influential in the 90s. You can still hear their inspiration whether directly or indirectly in a lot of new death metal and metalcore.
Agreed. Corporal jigsore was an "ah-ha" moment for me as a metal fan and a drummer. That song had severe groove and hook. The opening drum beat, the riff matching up.... so good. One of my all time favs.
Great song and album!! Plus, watching the video makes me feel better. There's something about their hair that cures my heart. Just look at @3:47 please. Wow, just wow.
Enjoying this masterpiece since 1993 when it came out then. I bought it on cassette tape! I never knew what a classic it would become! Timeless work of art.
Great guitar and great drums...The adrenaline rush that I get is unreal when I see them jamming together..These guys are very Fucking talented... been listening to them since I was 14....I'm 40 now.. True talent and great music stand the test of time!!!!
It's 8:30am here in Beautiful Southern Sunny Pittsburgh PA 😉 and I am gonna start a nice calm day with some smooth and groove from one of my favorites...

Heartwork was so revolutionary at the time, merging the brutality of grind and death metal with the fist-pumping feel of classic metal like Maiden or Dio that got me into metal in the first place. Death and Atheist were going for something similar, but were more proggy/techy and didn't have that "just go out and kick ass" kind of attitude that Carcass displayed.
This is the demonstration of the genius of Carcass. They released an Album and a song (Heartwork released 18 oct 1993) that, 30 years later, is still current and shines with its own light. Respect ++++ boys
and the best thing is that every album sounds different, you've got styles from goregrind to melodic death metal and even some bluesy elements here and there
A great classic and one of the best if not the best sound production back in early 90s I remember it well, I was speechless to the quality and clean sound just perfect I mean look even today the sound of the album is still good crazy
I'm still watching and have been listening since the 90's. I love Phil's dance in the intro looks like he has forgotten he no longer has long hair to flail about😂
Totally underrated album man, been a favourite of mine for so many years. The songs on this album though, Death Certificate has a pure face melting riff! Embodiment is that classic bang your head till it hurts tune. Every song's an absolute killer \m/
I remember in mid 0f 90s I had VHS with 4 hours video clips from MTV channel (thx to satellite tv) "headbangers balls" and this song was there. One of my favorite from that, and in the end of tape "No love lost".

Memories!! I remember being a black metal head at the time,where it wasn’t cool to listen too any death metal bands anymore. I had to listen to this & Seance albums quietly or I wasn’t true lol!!
I have so much respect for this song because of the amount of relief that I managed to perceive from my daily workflow, with this craftsmanship I was been able to keep inspired at the different labs that I worked for, stuyding and exercising. Got to see them live in 2016

Шикарная песня, наконец-то дошли руки и уровень, чтобы исполнить ее на гитаре🤘
3:42 This solo is simply magical. If it was a little bit longer, this song would be absolute perfection.
i realy like how they "return" to main theme after that solo, part until 04:01
Lol, five seconds solo...😂
I'm literally crying at how amazing and beautiful this is. I love the guitars and vocals so much. The ending guitar solo gets me every time. I really wish it was longer.
That's what she said.
Absolute masterpiece, watershed moment in metal. The entire Swedish Melodic Death Metal genre, most of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal/ Metalcore genre owe huge debts to Carcass and the Heartwork album
The entire metalcore aka scenecore/mallcore genre can get on there fucking knees and worship Carcass as well as the entire catalogue of thrash metal, death metal bands, hardcore/crossover bands from the early 80's to 90's.
+Eata Bagoshite I HAVE TO DISAGREE!!
Oliver Guenther I want to Slice and Dice you into neat cubes. Then throw those cubes into a stir fry and serve it at a restaurant.
Mike Amott is Swedish and was in a Swedish melodic death band called carnage when carcass snapped him up and really he brought a lot of that sound with him so probably carcass have more to thank Sweden for! Now he's in arch enemy of course, he left as soon as this was recorded and not even out I don't think!
Christian Brennan Carnage were just Swedish Death Metal. No melodic imfluences. Also, 90% of the riffs are Bill's. Swedish Death Metal influenced the Gothenberg scene in terms of guitar tone. BOSS HM2 pedal.
These lyrics are so fucking beautiful.
Vezonmodder I know right? Even years later
I remember when I was 17 and played this song for some friends who thought Metallica was the heaviest metal they'd ever heard. Had to help them pick their jaws up off'n the floor.
Metallica?! XD I love metallica but it's not really heavy in my opinion
@@angelinabla7891 they have some pretty heavy tunes, especially en AJFA
How many off them listen to carcass now ? I bet every one of them
@@angelinabla7891 "Heavy" is a somewhat subjective term. I personally consider doom metal and its many derivatives to be the pinnacle of "true" heaviness (slow, crushing riffs, beefy bass, pounding drum sound), whereas death metal is faster, more brutal and aggressive. Death metal is obviously still heavy, but in a different way, and not to the extent of heaviness that riff driven metal bands can provide.
Under either definition, I still wouldn't put Metallica anywhere near the tip of a heaviness scale, but they're still heavy, they have slow, driven riffs at times, and to someone who had only heard them (as the original comment said about their friends), then they're obviously gonna be the heaviest thing going until being shown otherwise.
As someone who listens to quite a bit of guitar music, I never understood the "heavy-ness" contest. Besides the fact that it's a completely subjective thing anyway, different bands will just sound different and one genre is not better than another just because it's "heavier". I always interpreted heavy as bassy, lumbering rhythms. By that measure though, there's some Noise rock that is probably much "heavier" than even Carcass here. You typically wouldn't apply that sort of term to a noise rock band however, so I don't really see the point. I realize that throwing the term around is more or less specific to metal, but still, it seems a bit pointless.
I was never a diehard fan of extreme metal but when I first heard ‘Heartwork’ back in 1993 thanks to some school friends, it was a revelation. Carcass had/have so much melody mixed in with their brutal tones, it’s actually really easy listening as far as extreme music goes. Such killer grooves and Jeff Walker’s vocals just had something ultra appealing about it. They were trailblazers of multiple sub genres of metal and each album was a new blueprint. Few of their contemporaries at the time matched their level of melody with heaviness. And almost 30 years later they’re still providing quality!
the guitar harmonies of Carcass are just so great, never gets old
Works of art, painted black
Magniloquent, bleeding dark
Monotonous palate, murky spectrum, grimly unlimited
Food for thought, so prolific
In contrasting shades, forcely fed
Abstraction, so choking, so provocative
A canvas to paint, to degenerate
Dark reflections - degeneration
A canvas to paint, to denigrate
Dark reflections, of dark foul light
Profound, aesthetic beauty
Or shaded, sensary corruption
Perceptions, shattered, splintered, mirroring
In deft taints, diluted, tinted
Spelt out, in impaired colour
Denigrating, going to paints to pain - not a pretty picture
Works of heart bleeding dark
Black, magniloquent art
Monotonous palate, murky spectrum, grimly unlimited
Prolific food for thought
Contrasting, fed with force
Abstraction, so choking, so provocative
Bleeding works of art
Seething work so dark
Seering words from the heart
Daksh Sharma thx for the lyrics
You gotta love Ken Owen. In a metal world full of mullets, dreadlocks and really long hair, he looks like a preppy private school kid, or a eccy popping raver.....always loved his drumming. This is a guy who pretty much straight out of school said to himself "I wanna play as fast as I can in a grindcore band"....mad respect to him for that. It's an ideal for us all to follow.....
I think he was into the Rave scene
@@eon14873 Yeah he made some techno music.
Ken rules!
fuck stereotypes
Yeah, Ken stood out from Bill, Mike, and Jeff. He's an amazing drummer on those albums.
Only realized many years later that Ken is originally from the village where I grew up - Billinge.
Imaginate a los 14 años ver esto en la mtv quede perplejo y fascinado aquel año 1994 desde ese mismo momento quede enamorado y atrapado sin vuelta atras por la musica metal no existe musica mejor solo los metaleros de la vieja escuela disfrutaron de la verdadera pureza no es lo mismo verlo ahora que en los 90
Por ahi del 94 estaba el Infierno de Dante en MTV.
Акуеть, 30 лет хиту, а мы всё так же молоды, быстро время летит
every single solo through out the song is amazing
the one in the beginning is very awesome 🎸🎸🎸

Back in the day
I copied all the solos from the album consecutively on a second tape
So I could listen all the solos in a row
I liked them so much
Ehmm, those aren't actually solos. Those are simply melodic lines integrated into the song. Solos are made for instruments to stand out on their own. This is clasic music theory in its absolute basics.
Timeless, could have been released today no problem.
Great vocals and riffs... Carcass just doing what Carcass does best... Shred!
Do people realize how much influence this band had on the underground scene
They changed music in the scene
These guys did, at the gates, in flames, and dissection were the most influential in the 90s. You can still hear their inspiration whether directly or indirectly in a lot of new death metal and metalcore.
Please elaborate, no
From grincore to melodic death metal. It's glorious.
Best Head&Shoulders commercial I have seen so far
I remember seeing them in Melbourne in the early 90’s and they walked to the gig carrying their own guitars , and past us as we stood in line.
Classic Carcass track. Amazing.
One of my favourite carcass songs. This and Corporal jigsore! Dang
Agreed. Corporal jigsore was an "ah-ha" moment for me as a metal fan and a drummer. That song had severe groove and hook. The opening drum beat, the riff matching up.... so good. One of my all time favs.
3:58 I feel my heart is ripped out with that heavenly part
One of the most epic and influential bands ever!
51 years old and it's still sweet music to my ears🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I watched every episode of Headbanger's Ball when this song came out hoping they played it. I was so happy every time they did!!
Great song and album!! Plus, watching the video makes me feel better. There's something about their hair that cures my heart. Just look at @3:47 please. Wow, just wow.
Enjoying this masterpiece since 1993 when it came out then. I bought it on cassette tape! I never knew what a classic it would become! Timeless work of art.
Yes I agree!! This is definitely one of the best metal songs ever!! Awesome!!!🤘
One of the greatest song ever.
Agreed ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great guitar and great drums...The adrenaline rush that I get is unreal when I see them jamming together..These guys are very Fucking talented... been listening to them since I was 14....I'm 40 now.. True talent and great music stand the test of time!!!!
It's 8:30am here in Beautiful Southern Sunny Pittsburgh PA 😉 and I am gonna start a nice calm day with some smooth and groove from one of my favorites... How's bout a lil CarCass to start this Blessed day!!!🎶🌄😉🕸️☯️🙈🙉🙊♉🎭🇮🇹🇨🇭🇮🇪®️®️
Pedals to the metals all day because I don't know how to live any other Fucking Way!!! It's gonna be a good day 😉
saw carcass with deafheaven a couple weeks ago, was one of the best sounding shows i've been too
So heavy and innovative, not only for its time, but forever.
Absolute Masterpiece...cheers from Argentina.
世界一、無二でカッコいい！
Who would have expected such a melodic masterpiece from the same guys who brought us the vilest, most underproduced goregrind???
25 years later, this album still rocks!
CARCASS ROX!!! From Argentina with love 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Absolute timeless classic!! I've had this album since it was released and still listen to it regularly \m/ playing this on the show this week
"22 years old and still sounding as good as ever." -Carcass
Still does here in September 2022
Jeff’s snarling vocals match perfectly with Bill’s snarling guitar tone. This whole album is perfect from top to bottom.
Heartwork was so revolutionary at the time, merging the brutality of grind and death metal with the fist-pumping feel of classic metal like Maiden or Dio that got me into metal in the first place. Death and Atheist were going for something similar, but were more proggy/techy and didn't have that "just go out and kick ass" kind of attitude that Carcass displayed.
Death is king.
@@krisamagus1 Spiritual Healing and Symbolic are Chuck's best.
@@ericv7720 I can't choose. :) To me all feels masterpieces.
Totally agree 👍
Well said!
This is the demonstration of the genius of Carcass. They released an Album and a song (Heartwork released 18 oct 1993) that, 30 years later, is still current and shines with its own light. Respect ++++ boys
Still one of my favorite metal bands after all those years! Love you guys!
Que gran canción y que pedazo de disco Heartwork.
Gracias Carcass!
The best Pantene commercial of all. 😁
Because they're worth it 🤘🤘🤘🤘
The 4 boys from Liverpool who made music history.
These guys have never put out a bad record.
and the best thing is that every album sounds different, you've got styles from goregrind to melodic death metal and even some bluesy elements here and there
Yeah they have, this one
The whole album is a god- given masterpiece!
Jeff you are THE MANNN!!!
A great classic and one of the best if not the best sound production back in early 90s
I remember it well, I was speechless to the quality and clean sound just perfect I mean look even today the sound of the album is still good crazy
I’m in love with the part from 2:12 to 2:40, such a melodic riff!
I'm still watching and have been listening since the 90's.
I love Phil's dance in the intro looks like he has forgotten he no longer has long hair to flail about😂
The first time I heard this live, I was SIXTEEN. Def blew my mind.
That rhythm is insanely good.
Few reach this level
Very few
Those harmonies in the intro - music to my ears. 🤘🏻
So this band doesn't give you pain in the ear despite the label is called earache records?
Nope! 😂
2024 here, can't stop listening, back to 90s, genius playing
The best piecie of metal music ever. No question.
Still to this day of the best metal songs ever absolute classic
Still one of the nastiest riff's I've ever heard. Top 5 for me any day.
Boing!
Totally underrated album man, been a favourite of mine for so many years. The songs on this album though, Death Certificate has a pure face melting riff! Embodiment is that classic bang your head till it hurts tune. Every song's an absolute killer \m/
I remember in mid 0f 90s I had VHS with 4 hours video clips from MTV channel (thx to satellite tv) "headbangers balls" and this song was there. One of my favorite from that, and in the end of tape "No love lost".
Наконец то песня про сварщиков )))с газовыми резаками.....и с электродуговым держателем в руках )))....каждый раз когда я режу металл газовым резаком в моих наушниках играет песня Heartwork группы Carcass ,а ведь эта песня была написана за долго до то того как я стал сварщиком ....я родился в 1992 году ,а песня написана в 1993 когда я ещё пешком под стол ходил я бы и подумать не мог что для меня эта песня станет моим сварочным гимном спустя 29 лет ))) искры,болгарка ,металл,сварочная дуга электрода ,металл ...от электрогитары группы Carcass .да всё-таки моя работа сварщика это лучшая работа на земле ,я режу металл газовым резаком ,свариваю электродом ,я чувствую металл , чувствую расплавленную дугу..это самая лучшая работа -работа с металлом )) ...я как сварщик работаю с металлом и я слушаю металл ,с чем работаю то и слушаю .....это работа нашего стального сердца господа сварщики Carcass
-Heartwork )))
О, как завернул!😃
@@is-za_pechki ну это правда я работая сварщиком вдохновляюсь этой песней.
@@is-za_pechki если для тебя это смешно ,то для меня это моя работа ,работа и моя профессия которой я посвящаю себя целиком и полностью....и она мне нравится мне нравится что я делаю из металла и мне нравится работать с ним....и слушаь его )))
@@dmitrybunny1477 Разве я сказал, что это плохо?
На таких каналах не встретить сторонних посетителей, чтобы они писали в негативном ключе.
Я сам сварщик-любитель и ковкой балуюсь и вообще слесаркой металла)). Бывает, что и под Heartwork)
@@is-za_pechkiизвени братан)
Memories!! I remember being a black metal head at the time,where it wasn’t cool to listen too any death metal bands anymore. I had to listen to this & Seance albums quietly or I wasn’t true lol!!
True Heart work!
So heavy and melodic. System overload!
I have so much respect for this song because of the amount of relief that I managed to perceive from my daily workflow, with this craftsmanship I was been able to keep inspired at the different labs that I worked for, stuyding and exercising. Got to see them live in 2016
I like the way vocals are done...particularly the phrasing and that hook with "the color out of space" repeated strategically in the right places.
Who the hell unlike this masterpiece
