Hey everyone! We wanted to add some interesting context to this song: 1. This is the first time Earthside has let a guest vocalist fully write all of the melodies and lyrics. 2. AJ’s lyrics are very personal and candid, writing from the perspective of his father and the trials in life he faced. AJ’s father was Jamaican so we hear a Jamaican accent and vocabulary in the song. We’re honored that AJ would write such a personal story to our music and deliver it with emotion. Given how unique it was, we decided to add it to our 2nd album instead of making it a stand-alone single.
For a genre that tends to favor technicality over emotion, Earthside are masters at offering their immense songwriting and playing abilities in service to the big big feels.
I see all this love in the comments. You guys deserve it. You add a lot of joy to people’s lives with heartfelt art like this. AJ all the best to you man, thank you 🥲
Awesome awesome. Awesome guys I just adore and love your music. You guys my music the right way because of the time and effort you guys put in the work and it’s so beautiful and I love the lead singer from fire from the gods AJ beautiful collaboration
I love that this is so different but still has that unmistakable Earthside edge to it. Can't believe y'all making me wait another month for the full album.
Amazing song earthside are soo good but fuck aj sounds unreal I love his voice. Need more black vocalists in metal lajon, howard and aj are amongst my favorite, just majestic power.
Ive veen friends with Morgan Rose of Sevendust for decades and Fire From The Gods was opening on a bill back 2018. Mo and I were at the bar, and this gentle black giant of a man walked up smiling and said, "Hey, Im AJ" . The man is a true sweetheart. Very kind man. God bless you AJ.
Damn earthside you guys never fail me, awesome band, waiting for the album release, fire from the gods vocalist is also so awesome!! Still can’t get over end transmission after all these years
"It's unlike anything we've ever released before!" When I saw the thumbnail, my first thought was that it's under 6 minutes lol. Excellent track though
That said, I have the chance to do the deep dive on first listen today as opposed to normally giving it a surface listen first because I had a queued so that it would play on my Soundsystem when I was ready. I intend to listen to it a few more times before I make my final judgment but I love it it’s a cool song and also the drumming in this song is spectacular..
Stands with the best metal grooves out there, and a standout tight experience. Yet subtly, just so subtly, the Earthside full soundscape skips around the outer rims of my hearing. I'd bloody like to know how you guys feel out those soundscape edges. I could practically point to where a sound comes from, and its far more than left/right-center. also a fun fact: upside-down crosses are not satanic symbols except in Hollywood. "Starting with the 1960s, several TV productions and movie franchises featured the inverted cross as a symbol representing the Antichrist and Satan making it one of the most popular satanic symbols today." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Saint_Peter
I wasn't a fan of this during my first listen. I think that's because I was listening through my phone speakers while my laundry was running in the background. Now that I listen through decent speakers, it's very good. :^)
Incredibly composed together, my new favourite Earthside track indeed, AJ as a guest vocalist is your golden spice to the whole recipe, I love his voice colours talent 😉
Once again, you guys have proven that there is more than one way to interpret music. The thing that I love about Earthside is that no song of yours ever sounds the same and each one carries its own message even if it’s instrumental. And with this one, there are multiple ways to interpret it because on the one hand, you have the upside down crosses which could be viewed as anti-Christian, which it appears that some people have done in this comment section. But then you have the way that the lyric is in the song it is meant to be a quote to tell a larger story not a jab at Christianity. So I think it is just the opposite.. but then that’s just my thoughts. I think the whole idea is to inspire.. rather than bring everyone down.
I WAS LATE 4 PREMIERE..ADFGADGSDF..... FORGOT TO PRESS RECORD ....made a Tool cover. had to record again. I love this band and the singer's guest also. wILL LISTEEN NOW KEEP GOIIING
Damn it, Damn it, Damn it! I have been so angry with Earthside for so long, given the eight years or so since their debut album. I have heard all of their singles from the upcoming sophomore album, and they are all spectacular! I didn't want that. I wanted them to be lackluster so my anger could be vindicated. I can't do that any longer! Well done, Earthside! My deepest apologies! Well done. Hurry up, November!
@@Sublight77I think you have to understand that many people feel this way on the inside regardless, they just don’t share it out load. Guess it’s parallel to schadenfreude in that regard, but at least he was honest even though it feels weird to read.
Appreciate the love we're getting on this track

AJ Channer is such a unique vocalist. Great choice of vox and once again - Earthside triumphs. 🔥

Those Saint Peter earings are beautiful, thanks for honor him!
Earthside transcends genres
One of the most talented bands out there today. The drumming on this is gorgeous.
It’s a little scary. Super talented band!
That unmistakable Earthside DNA coming through on this track. Love the collab with FFTG's singer!
Wow, what a voice
So gritty, yet so spiritual. This song can assist the broken to salvation. So much love for this track
Oh my that was soooo good. The rest of the album will be stellar, I'm sure 🖤
Obviously!!
If this comes even close to Let The Truth Speak then you guys are unstoppable
They were already unstoppable when they released _A Dream in Static._
this is so different but so good
Awesome - excerpts from the Big Book ...
A dream in static is my all time favorite album, glad to see that you're still working on music
Reminds of The Contortionist a bit, specially their older stuff

You wanted the new songs to be bad because you were tired of waiting. Spiteful. Thats on you not them, you have no idea what some bands go through....
