Wow, so cool to see fans for the early days still listening. I started listening to them 10 years ago I think, and I just love this band. There is something about their music and sound that captivates me.
The only prog band to make it in the early 80’s was Marrillion, IQ didn’t have the singles, but they were a close 2nd ! And their still with the original singer after one split and still proging away, says a lot, Marillion lost their sound when fish was sacked! IQ and Pendragon still good.
This is a simply stunning track......I can imagine it playing along with the closing credits of those grim Scandinavian serial killer dramas. I saw it played live in a small venue from the front row. Peter Nichols looked me straight in the eye and pointed with a white surgical glove on his hand.....”The dumb shock of reaction’s what it’s for........” It was absolutely chilling!!!!
Steven Wilson, Anglagard, Big Big Train, Echolyn, Haken, Ayeron,... now IQ. In these last couple of years something we've been spoiled with some fuckin' great music! Are we witnessing the revival of prog?
Prog never went away. Its light may have shone less brightly for a while due to monopolistic music corps but now that artists have the power in their own hands to let their audience find them, people who strayed are finding them once again and wondering why they left.
No revival for there was no death. In fact, most of the bands you've mentioned are already 25 years old on average. IQ will soon turn 35. That just means how much media attention had been artificially turned away from progressive rock.
I know it's 8 years late, but I really hope you went into that wild ride that is finding a new band. I know I loved finding these guys probably 15 or so years ago
This album is a masterpiece, the title song is a lesson in modern progressive rock. The lyrics, the restraint, ... and then they turn it on ... first hit on a crash cymbal at 5:55! This song has no weakness.
An absolutely fantastic song and album by one of the best prog bands around - great 'haunting' music - guitar riffs, keyboard's, bass and, last but not least, some intricate drum fills, just awe inspiring.
This is one of the top prog albums ever, everything a prog fan could ask for. I just recently found IQ, sorry I was so late to the party. What an awesome band, I now have all of Peter Nichols albums,(paid for!) on my PC. Wonderful stuff!
Absolutely, ridiculously beautiful! Such deep, powerful and provocative music. What a transition 6:00min in. Incredible. Can't wait for the album. So happy.
Now in my top 5 rock albums of all time. Epic lyrics melded perfectly with the instrumentals, every song an absolute gem, fantastic musicianship that is there only to serve the songs, incredible composition. How they're not a household name is beyond me. Perfection!
@@rodsagredo Genesis - Foxtrot, Yes - Close to the Edge, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, King Crimson - Discipline (although Dark Matter by IQ might be in there too)
2020 and I just started getting into this band. SMH 🤦♂️ How did I miss these guys!? Well, my journey begins now. I am loving RoB and Resistance right now!
And morning finds my night's work Lights the remnants on display I do not seek forgiveness Nothing to absolve For now the need is met I almost hate myself Almost... But not quite They survey the frozen scene The cold countenance of hell And they hang their heavy heads I'm seen as death itself Fear beholds this fragile town Extends for miles around I've taken all control For I am someone now The shadow cross my face All the signs of my mistakes Shallow graves I mark with stones As I walk the road of bones We dance Our unkind compelling dance The arcane Ritual observed I will see this whole thing through If I only just keep my nerve All the journeys I've retraced To return me to this place I do not walk alone As I build the road of bones Their damn shock of reactions What it's for For love nothing and I won't be ignored They've got sirens and all that nervous force They concede A good death's It's own reward The shadow cross my face All the futures laid to waste Shallow graves I mark with stones As I walk the road of bones
Been a long time fan of IQ. Even when they tried towards a more commercial sound in the later 80's, there were songs that would nail the mind. This album sits nicely with their other dark album 'Dark Matter'. Fantastic Band. Glad they're still around! 👍
I've been following IQ now since 1983 and they never cease to amaze. If this track is anything to go by, we are in for a real treat when the album comes out!
Terrific progressive rock band. I have listened all of their albums since the beginning and each that passes by IQ gets better an better. IQ lives for ever.
Amazing song by IQ. IQ is the best kept secret in music for the past few decades. So happy they still are writing new music, like Asia Strings said come to California, please.
If you buy this album, be sure to get the box set/limited edition, because the bonus disc is as good as the main album, with tracks like Constellations, Ten Million Demons and Fall and Rise, which are amongst the best things they've ever done.
A great song and love the visuals here too, also love the atmosphere of this track and the way it builds throughout, will have to check out the other tracks from this album :-)
This is such a great song, and yet so creepy. Serial killers work by compulsion. They often go back to the scene of the crime if not accessible by others as a form of power over their victims. Some are buried, some are under water. In the case of this song, they seem to be strewn all over a wooded area. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sounds reaaaaaaaally good! On minute 5:57 it gets a really cool prog metal vibe that is simply great. I love the atmosphere of the whole song, I finished listening to it and I just wanted more. It just blew me away. Can't wait to hear the album.
Marvellous intro this title track for IQs brand new album. In Sweden we have also waited long for the lads new Music releasing. But as you can say "..you can never wait too long if it is something good you claim"! Good work IQ!
This is brilliant. It should be the opening track to a James Bond movie. Or if the words were changed slightly it would fit in perfectly in Game of Thrones.
I've taken all control, for I am someone now. The shadow crossed my face All the signs of my mistakes, Shallow graves I mark with stones As I walk for the road of bones
I was about to make a comment about how there are hints of Ayreon-esque moments in this (which is a cool thing, mind you) and there's Arjen chiming in with his compliments. I rest my case. Very cool work.

Great.....I am 60 years old now. I was 23 when I bought there first album.
Dan heeft u vast een mooie muziek verzameling!
Wow, so cool to see fans for the early days still listening. I started listening to them 10 years ago I think, and I just love this band. There is something about their music and sound that captivates me.
Ditto
Jan you Did INDEED an Excelent buy
im 61 and just found this band , awesome .
I must be dreaming... It's time the whole world knows IQ.
Yes they are an Amazing and hugely talented Band. Equal to YES, Genesis, and Marillion. The World don't know what they are missing!
The only prog band to make it in the early 80’s was Marrillion, IQ didn’t have the singles, but they were a close 2nd ! And their still with the original singer after one split and still proging away, says a lot, Marillion lost their sound when fish was sacked! IQ and Pendragon still good.
Interesting. I love this song. Been listening to this one song for years. Time to explore.
Have you listened to Mystery? Fantastic Canadian Prog band.
Such a masterpiece of a song, this whole album is one of my all time favorites, Without Walls transcends.
This is a simply stunning track......I can imagine it playing along with the closing credits of those grim Scandinavian serial killer dramas.
I saw it played live in a small venue from the front row. Peter Nichols looked me straight in the eye and pointed with a white surgical glove on his hand.....”The dumb shock of reaction’s what it’s for........” It was absolutely chilling!!!!

we always got hope for more REAL MUSICIANS
You forgot Devin Townsend :)
as this guy said: prog never went away. only the listeners.
I've never heard of them until now. They've just gained another fan of their Music.
Same ....and same!❤
I know it's 8 years late, but I really hope you went into that wild ride that is finding a new band. I know I loved finding these guys probably 15 or so years ago

No words to describe this. Just listen and let your mind drift away.
6:24 one of the most creative transitions that i ever heard

For me the best album from the band. Dark and heavy yet very melodic.
I lost a loved one and this song is soothing the pain.
An absolutely fantastic song and album by one of the best prog bands around - great 'haunting' music - guitar riffs, keyboard's, bass and, last but not least, some intricate drum fills, just awe inspiring.
Such an amazing song and album. And band for that matter.
Exactly how I like my IQ - dark an heavy
Greatest band EVER!!!
Amazing... what an atmosphere... so dark, so empty... incredible song.
This is one of the top prog albums ever, everything a prog fan could ask for. I just recently found IQ, sorry I was so late to the party. What an awesome band, I now have all of Peter Nichols albums,(paid for!) on my PC. Wonderful stuff!
Absolutely, ridiculously beautiful! Such deep, powerful and provocative music. What a transition 6:00min in. Incredible. Can't wait for the album. So happy.
That makes me think about Arena, but in better!
Now in my top 5 rock albums of all time. Epic lyrics melded perfectly with the instrumentals, every song an absolute gem, fantastic musicianship that is there only to serve the songs, incredible composition. How they're not a household name is beyond me. Perfection!
Which are the other four?
@@rodsagredo Genesis - Foxtrot, Yes - Close to the Edge, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, King Crimson - Discipline (although Dark Matter by IQ might be in there too)
@@VeganChefRon I would agree with Dark Matter, however for me Frequency is even better than Road of Bones!
It starts to become which is a better genius. It's beautiful that we get to enjoy them all! @@huwadams9521
Have you ever been to Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland? Very nice venue but the food is awful!! 😂
2020 and I just started getting into this band. SMH 🤦♂️ How did I miss these guys!? Well, my journey begins now.
I am loving RoB and Resistance right now!
The Wake, Subterranea, Dark Matter
The holy trinity of IQ. Masterpieces.
One of the very best albums I've ever heard from all times. Wish to hear you asap in France ! I love this band.
And morning finds my night's work
Lights the remnants on display
I do not seek forgiveness
Nothing to absolve
For now the need is met
I almost hate myself
Almost...
But not quite
They survey the frozen scene
The cold countenance of hell
And they hang their heavy heads
I'm seen as death itself
Fear beholds this fragile town
Extends for miles around
I've taken all control
For I am someone now
The shadow cross my face
All the signs of my mistakes
Shallow graves I mark with stones
As I walk the road of bones
We dance
Our unkind compelling dance
The arcane
Ritual observed
I will see this whole thing through
If I only just keep my nerve
All the journeys I've retraced
To return me to this place
I do not walk alone
As I build the road of bones
Their damn shock of reactions
What it's for
For love nothing and
I won't be ignored
They've got sirens and all that nervous force
They concede
A good death's
It's own reward
The shadow cross my face
All the futures laid to waste
Shallow graves I mark with stones
As I walk the road of bones
From "Dans le parc du chateau noir" I have never been disappointed! .... Great progressive group! Great IQ! Long life to the IQ !!!....
Been a long time fan of IQ. Even when they tried towards a more commercial sound in the later 80's, there were songs that would nail the mind. This album sits nicely with their other dark album 'Dark Matter'.
Fantastic Band. Glad they're still around! 👍
witeskyn7, same here, i followed them to the Marquee in early 80’s and refocused on them when Nichols rejoined in early 90’s.
The entire album is beautiful! If you love prog, you're going to love this. The best IQ album so far!
I've been following IQ now since 1983 and they never cease to amaze. If this track is anything to go by, we are in for a real treat when the album comes out!
Terrific progressive rock band. I have listened all of their albums since the beginning and each that passes by IQ gets better an better. IQ lives for ever.
Arguably their best album . . . to date, anyway!
Volveré 10 años después y volveré a escuchar esto.
Escrito en el pasado
5 years of waiting. Sounds like it'll be worth it. Good track. Can't wait to get my copy come May!
One of the best songs of the world.
I love this song, it's just perfect 🎉
seen them twice now. Awesome my fav band
this masterpiece must be on vinyl!
I was directed to this in relation to my elemental spirits books, very interesting imagery and love the singer's voice!
I can't believe this doesn't have 10M views!
I know IQ music since 2003; a fantastic prog band!!
I.Q at their very best. Could be the soundtrack to a film in the same vein this could. Can't wait for the new album September 2019. Keep rocking guys
Amazing song by IQ. IQ is the best kept secret in music for the past few decades. So happy they still are writing new music, like Asia Strings said come to California, please.
So great song, it's just blew my mind,incredible band..This record should be infant prog collection
If you buy this album, be sure to get the box set/limited edition, because the bonus disc is as good as the main album, with tracks like Constellations, Ten Million Demons and Fall and Rise, which are amongst the best things they've ever done.
Das hört sich super an, die Jungens hauen immer wieder einen raus!
Hauntingly beautiful...fantastic...I only caught onto this group a short time ago but I am ALL IN now...the segue at 6:00 minutes is epic...
Subtle, yet so powerful. Brilliant!!
Best song I've heard in the past 3 years. For whatever reason every time I listen to it, I think of Taboo TV series...
May 31, 2019 and still listening this beautiful song, it takes me to a special place in my mind.
A onde eu estava para não ter escutado isso antes.?
Breathtaking, opens a wide promise for the new album!
I love this voice and the great sound
nice
This is pure IQ, I love it :)
A great song and love the visuals here too, also love the atmosphere of this track and the way it builds throughout, will have to check out the other tracks from this album :-)
Heard this song minutes ago in Progulus radio. Hadn't heard of this band. But the song is phenomenal, it's a true masterpiece.
One of my alltime faves! Simply great!
God I love this song! I just get all emotional when I listen to it, but pumped at the same time!
I like it! Looking forward to the album!
pas loin d'être l'album "Prog" de l'année !!!! un super album d'I.Q comme d'hab !!!!!
Album in my collection, best regards
This is such a great song, and yet so creepy. Serial killers work by compulsion. They often go back to the scene of the crime if not accessible by others as a form of power over their victims.

just found out about that band and wow ...
lol they already play for 36 years......wel better late then never...
Very good. Really looking forward to the new album.
Brilliant song craftsmanship and an instant Halloween classic! IQ is flat-out amazing.
i stumbled across this band....i absolutely love this
One of my top favorites. Amazing work.
Wow!!!!! J'espère vous voir au Québec!! :)

I love it. It's a masterpiece ✨
Rodando no celular em todos os lugares,metro,onibus,carro,bicicleta,skate, nao canso de ouvir!

Great news!
Oh my goodness !!! What a great track and album ! I just found out about IQ and made an order for this album right away :) !
Marvellous intro this title track for IQs brand new album. In Sweden we have also waited long for the lads new Music releasing. But as you can say "..you can never wait too long if it is something good you claim"! Good work IQ!
Great stuff!
GUENISSIMO...!!!!!!!!!!!!.........ESPECTACULAR...
Great tune, great band
Great track, Outstanding vocal.
Fantastic! Really really love this track. IQ goes from strength to strength!
Fantastic!!!!!
This is brilliant. It should be the opening track to a James Bond movie.
Or if the words were changed slightly it would fit in perfectly in Game of Thrones.
I've taken all control, for I am someone now.
The shadow crossed my face
All the signs of my mistakes,
Shallow graves I mark with stones
As I walk for the road of bones
never heard of this band untill today ......
Stunning.
You can buy it on iTunes. Fascinating arrangements. Quite a bit of introspection going on.
Promising of bones!!!!
Man this sounds Really great,cant wait to hear the album in full...Sounds like the 5 year wait will be worth it.
I was about to make a comment about how there are hints of Ayreon-esque moments in this (which is a cool thing, mind you) and there's Arjen chiming in with his compliments. I rest my case.
Very cool work.
best 2014 album so far.
Better than Subterrenea?
killroyhere unfortunately I have not heard Subterranea, but after this album and Frequency'm more than willing to meet the rest of their discography.
killroyhere Subterranea is not from 2014........... he said "best album from 2014" !!! And Vinicius is right...Great album.
I realized I misinterpreted the question 1 second after I posted.
