@@MegaLaban12345Unofficially it is lol. With all the bands Buster writes and produces for, he’s leaving a very distinct mark on modern heavy music. Similar to the mid 2010s and the “Putneycore” sound.
In an era of which our attention spans are short and we do not appreciate art anymore. We seriously need to appreciate this and the work/effort Buster and the guys put into this. \m/
That's definitely one thing I say when describing H.L.B.. Along with heavy as fuck, or brutal, I talk about how artistic the music is. I really appreciate that aspect of it.
@@thecauldronofdarkness1757 Best way I can describe newer HLB is just “overwhelming”. The new singles have an uncanny ability to completely overwhelm your emotional receptors and leave you awestruck because you don’t really know what to feel. Fantastic for the length of an album, but not something the average person could listen to constsntly.
Sweden produces good music....Europe , Roxette , ABBA , Meshuggah , Humanity's Last Breath, Allt , Orbit Culture , Nasum , Skitsystem , these are just a few I can remember while writing...Sweden has been giving good music to the many different types of people around the world ....
After having a really rough day, and dealing with depression my whole life, currently feeling very low, this song makes me feel seen. I cannot express my gratitude for you sharing your art. We need this now more than ever.
I think this is my favorite song from the album...intro kicks fuckin ass, chorus is catchy as fuck....outro with that bass is just massive. Lyrics spot on. THERE IS NOOOO LIGHT HEREEEEE!!! Love it.
Idk, I feel like all these singles sort of just sound the same. Was really hyped for some new HLB but these songs are sort of boring me. Brings nothing new to the table
I thought after their last album and Earthless nothing could be heavier...but MAN the ending with the off beat hi-hat and massive double bass was absolutely earth-shattering 🔥 amazing work guys!
Crazy to think this drops on the very day my dog passes away. Thank you for turning what I feel into musical form. This will be on repeat for awhile. Absolute banger as always.
I'm so sorry for your loss omg( I can say that I have clinical depression actually but idkw after both Instill and Linger I felt like wow I wanna live fuck that depression. So this is what makes thall so special I guess. Because it has such a crazy amount of powerfulness in just one song that it just absorbs everything we feel, it dominates upon our feelings. What an unimaginable ability, holy shit...
@@moonshelter3448 I think that is why I like heavy music in general but especially thall. It feels so massive and destructive that nothing can stand against it. Even all my problems and vague anxieties are crushed.
@@HeavyReign12 yes exactly it feels so overwhelming that I'm freezing in such an awe I couldn't even describe! It's like a gust of wind blowing the windows wide open so that they hit the walls! My god I love it!
These lyrics accurately describe how the song feels for me. It sets in, it hangs heavy There is no light here It’s setting in I feel the pain become me I am all caught up in this mix - what a treat for the senses.
The suspense is already killing me. 'Instill' scratched a musical 'itch' I didn't know I even had. Trying not to get my hopes up too high for this one 😂 Happy to report this new track "Linger" absolutely destroys. 6th listen and I'm starting to notice all the cool little details. The future of extreme metal is in safe hands.
Same, instill was the first 10/10 I've heard in a couple years. I've accepted the possibility that it will be my favorite on the album, but I'm hoping that there will be some close runner ups.
The hype is so real right now! You guys are seriously my favorite band right now. Your music is so unique and the only metal really hitting the spot for me these days. Can't wait for more, got that box set on preorder 🔥
@@moztar6247guitarist, he also writes most of the other parts of the instrumental and then also mixes and masters their songs. He’s one of the best mixing and mastering engineers there is imo
@@moztar6247 Buster Odeholm and Calle Thomer (also in Vildhjarta) are the guitarists who write everything for HLB. Buster started HLB, but after joining Vildhjarta on drums he’s taken a lot of influence from the band- and Vice versa. Both bands are heavily connected and influence each other.
It's been awhile since a band has released music that has given me goosebumps with each new track that comes out. This coming new album is already metal album of the year for me.
This is like when you have a revelation that shakes, or even shatters, your very core, and your perception of everything has to shift with it to fully understand it.
So my gf wanted me to share some of the music im passionate about, and I was wondering, how do you get someone who likes 'happy music' poppy stuff to even start appreciating this? They'll only hear noise. I think it's hopeless x)
@@RthereNEusernames Metallica sucks, vocally. I can't stand their singer, but any of their songs are infinitely better as instrumentals. That said, you completely missed the point, or downright ignored it in your response. It's not about how 'good' they are (which they are not). It's about how they're the only piece of metal most 'people' know.
@@silencedmaxim5889 Sure, I'm not here to debate what's entirely subjective. And idk, why is it a problem that they're the only piece of metal most people know? Seems like you're implying it's because of how "good" they are. I also was talking about most people that enjoy metal music, not just "most people" in general that aren't really exposed to metal music.
Since ''Instill'' I'm hooked. So I'm extremely intrigued. I've never counted this genre as a music. Like for eternity. Till ''Instill'' came out. It was a gamechanger for me.
Absolutely amazing. I love the fact that they are adding more melody to the overall structure, really adds more depth and atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Favourite tracks in order => 1.Linger 2.Labyrinthian 3.Instill 🤘🤘🤘
Great tune! I think this will sit finely on the album. Not a very long track. Doesn't overstay it's welcome. Great melodic side from HLB. Keeping it simple but heavy af.
Total banger! HLB are renovating their sound even further in this song. Almost 4 chords pop if you listen to the chorus, but with many many layers of thall! I really dig
Video was filmed inside of an atom
The team responsible for the visuals is insanely talented, this abstract imagery works so well with HLB's music
Turns out Buster does that too 😂😂😂
Video created by Tuomas Kurikka and Patrik Nuorteva. Finnish guys 🤘
These guys are in a band named 'Atlas', really great Finnish Thally/Proggy band
@bilbobaggins7075 Buster doesnt do the visuals. Its Riivata which is Tuomas and Patrik from Atlas. Tuomas is also in HLB though
Definitely going to check this band. It would be great to listen to Ashen on shrooms having these visuals as a background. I'd totally do it.
this is already album of the year for me
Yes.
No it isn’t
@@MegaLaban12345 yes it is😎👍
"Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had the best album of all time."
Absolutely!
Finally a third song we can listen on repeat!!! 🎉
Agreed
Same haha.
No one can imagine, how freaking hyped i am! Bust me with the bustercore!

That Screeching riff starting at 1:18 gives me such goosebumps. What a track
So true
And the ending callback breakdown is such an emotional counterpart, it's like longing, pain and loss in a sound form
THIS IS PURE BEAUTY OF HEAVY MUSIC I'm so in love with Linger now. Instill was just as amazing. What a band! They turned my world upside down omg
absolutely incredible!

Know what u feel..: also have depression.. heavy musics give me comfort🤘🔥
Have a great day
I can totally relate. This music indeed absorbs my depression somehow.
I really felt the lyrics 😢
Why are you having depression?
NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR DEPRESSION. STOP SEEKING FOR ATTENTION
The production is insane. Buster is one of the top tier mixing engineers out there in my book
What's proof is that he can make a note as low as B-1 have extremely high clarity.
I don't think I've ever heard another mix that is this destructive, awesome stuff, love the singing too!
Same, man. Never before...
Same
The melody on this is amazing and I’m sure will sound even better in the context of the album’s entirety.
In what way
@@MegaLaban12345 a more melodic one obviously 🙂
I'm obsessed... This is incredible. Been listening to HLB and Vildhjarta on repeat
I hope Vildhjarta follows up their last record soon
The singing growls are great. It draws an emotion out that I haven't really gotten from heavy music in the past like this.
Check out the last album of To the Grave it has this, so epic
These new songs are so good.
I am so stoked for Ashen.
I can only imagine how excited Buster was hearing this after hearing everyone contribute their part
Thall: Tremendously, heavy, atmospheric, low, licks!
I think this is my favorite song from the album...intro kicks fuckin ass, chorus is catchy as fuck....outro with that bass is just massive. Lyrics spot on. THERE IS NOOOO LIGHT HEREEEEE!!! Love it.
Still pushing the boundaries of what heavy metal is known for every single time you drop new material. Excelent.
The time signature changes and tempo changes are so subtle but hit SOOO HARD!
Oh this is gonna be great edit: that was incredible
Buster out here redefining what it means to be heavy. This is absolutely insane.
Who's buster? 🤔

This is a masterpiece. It's brutal and beautiful at the same time.

I can't describe how much I love these three singles
Every song is just spine chilling. These guys did it again. Aoty contender everytime. 👏👏👏
These lyrics accurately describe how the song feels for me.
It sets in, it hangs heavy
There is no light here
It’s setting in

Buster is not human anymore. It's just a masterpiece.
You realize he’s not the only one in the band
@@ishay777777777Buster and Calle write everything, but ultimately it’s Buster’s band. There would be no HLB without him.

"Eyes Forced Open". Again! Truly.. Freaking masterpiece!! :)
One of the most intense blackened #deathcore of the last years. Can't wait to hear the complete album. Awesome!
It's been awhile since a band has released music that has given me goosebumps with each new track that comes out. This coming new album is already metal album of the year for me.
Easily my favorite single so far, hyped for the album!
Tear comes to my eye
This is like when you have a revelation that shakes, or even shatters, your very core, and your perception of everything has to shift with it to fully understand it.
As with every HLB song it will grow with every listen. I can’t get it out of my head anymore!
this record is shaping up to be crazy, the visuals are absolutely amazing as well
Best song of this record! Just pure perfection! 🔥
My face when 00:23 hits >:( and then 03:10 ohhhh fuck. The vocal harmonies in 00:39 are fire. Definitely album of the year
Its cool that they incorporate more melodies
Humanitys Last Breath never disappoints this new album is gonna be fire 🔥
One Word Amazing
3 of the best songs 2023 on the same album

There is music. And then there is music that feels like an inescapable, raw, impending force of nature.
This is heavy magic. Everything in this song is amazing. THALL
The new album is going to be crazy!🔥
ashen is already aoty i am in love with this band
Filip Will say it again… You sounds so amazing 👊🏼
Pure...unfiltered...BRUTALITY!!!! \m/
What a blast... this album is gonna be massive
Thank you for the goosebumps from this music.
2:08 is the concept from Sunset Sunrise. Same riff but slower.
Had to come back again now that my ears are healed up.
thall
I love all of your releases, but this is by far my favorite in a while. Hell yeah boys.
Just bought LP! Can't wait!!
If this album doesn't make it to the very tip top of the metal charts I will be truly dumbfounded.
Not exactly the most accessible sound. Most people that think they like metal don't even know bands like this exist lol.

1:42
"WHAT IZ ZIS"
Kinda wondering the same thing myself dudes. What the hell was that lol.
How is it that the added singing somehow makes it feel even heavier and more massive?? It's crazy. I love this shit
