Captain No Beard is a banger. Remember me when you guys get famous
Incredible Album guys
We definitely will ;) Good to know we'll be in good company!
Jacksonville would appreciate your visit! :)
Damn, first song and I'm already hooked!! Why have I only found this now?
yokai-san ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
shoutout to the guy that put this on the corelia facebook page, cause these guys can actually make and release good music
Holy shit whoever did that is savage \m/
HOLY SHIT, this is ABSOLUTE MADNESS
Hahaha there’s a method to the madness ;) glad you’re enjoying it dude!
Immediately hooked - I'm going to listen a thousand times.
Thanks Adam!!!!
:')
Same. I'm totally onboard with these young lads. Every song on this album is just outstanding. Right from the intimidating opening of Dizziness Explained straight through to the climax infused Tornado, the listener is commanded to listen and be amazed. I am.
@@aviationsband 00```°~
Love the music and video graphics. Reminds me of playing Fallout 76
saw a bass cover of facewawes 5 minutes ago and i'm so glad i searched more about you, this album has literally every genre i like ❤
Was looking for "Math rock" vibes that didn't sound so "thrift shop" like most math rock bands do, something with some progressive elements, lower tuning, some grooves, clean singing without getting too Dance Gavin Dance.. and the occasional breakdown???
OK I'M LYING I WASN'T LOOKING FOR THAT BECAUSE WHO WOULD EXPECT THAT TO EXIST BUT STILL FOUND IT LMAO
This description is fucking dope
Two days makes me cry every time I hear it but it's still amazing.
It's a shame this isn't getting the traction it deserves. This album is incredible! I have bought 2 copies (physical and digital separately), just because I want to know that I am doing my part in supporting you .
Thank you for working your asses off to make such amazing music! Don't get discouraged. "All These Up-and-Comers don't know what's coming for them!"
Oh, wow... thanks so much for buying this twice. I don't know what to say.... We can ensure that the money goes straight back into content production, merch giveaways for new fans to come across us, any touring... so thank you so much.
amazing album guys! I love how different it is with the melody's and the heavy as fuck parts
Samuel Harchik you guys should be proud! Facewaves and concrete kitten are fucking CRONIC songs
So many influences i lost count.......but really guy's blown away by this album! 10/10 ;0)
I just came for a meshuggah cover by your drummer. I have NOT expected that I'd land here, where metal is mixed with blues.
I'm getting my hands on that album.
Thanks dude! We're still promoting this record throughout the year so every bit helps :D thank you!
Been jamming mad Native Construct, noticed a live video with you playing the drums for them. Then found this. So glad I did. This is the best shit I've heard in years.
captain no beard gots groove.
dilly dilly
It gots THE Groove...
I have grown obsessed with Captain No Beard. This whole record is just incredibly fun to listen to, but Captain No Beard man... That song just hits perfect in so many different parts of it. Also I love that it doesn't have a real heavy part. It's just nice all the way through. My fav for sure. Really want it to have its own video so I can easily spam it to my friends lol
Saw the drummers cover of a Faceless song, clicked on his band link....and I'm sold, this is so good!
Captain No Beard needs it's own upload!
Feel-good, groovy, proggy math metal/rock! I saw one of your members post this in the GGD forum and recognized the band name from a while back and checked it out just to see what was up. I was NOT expecting to casually be so blown away! This album is unbelievable! Congrats you guys, you all are testaments to music education.
Michael Stabekis thank you so much Michael! Means a lot to us that you took the time to listen. Cheers :)
S/o Spotify for recommending this... insane
Yooooo if you wouldn't mind telling us how it recommended it, that would be sweet. Was it on a playlist?
Adam Benjamin Absolutely! It showed up on my “Release Radar” playlist which is usually pretty on point with recommending new stuff that i would like... but this one blew me away. You guys are stellar!
Hell yes! I use apple music (shame, shame). Glad to know we might reach a few people this route. Thank you :)
Adam Benjamin For sure, keep it up guys! Any chance of a tour in the near future?
Facebook.com/aviationsband will be where we primarily post that stuff. Right now we have a baby Northeast thing happening, but later this summer we may do a bigger tour in places we haven't been yet ;)
MAY THE UNIVERSE BLESS US WITH THIS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL NOSTALGIA!!! I'm in tears.... Love you dudes... Thanks for changing my perspective of life...
DAMN boys ! I was waiting for something like this for so long !!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my day !
Amazing. My favourite band at the moment.
I am waiting for the day when you guys blow up! I eagerly anticipate when you get huge and achieve all of your creative and spiritual dreams!
Thanks for the motivation man. It’s been tough but we’re getting there I think. We really want this next album to make moves
Not a doubt in my mind! Every comment section on every video you guys put out is at least 90 percent people telling you how amazing the music is and how you should never stop. With like 25 percent telling you how your music has helped them in their daily lives or just kept them alive in general. You guys are what the music industry desperately needs!
step 1: wait until summer
step 2: blast this at full volume through the city
step 3: ???
step 4 PROFIT
Samuel Harchik i think when others hear me pump this awesomeness that will be unnecessary
this is amazing who mixed this album?
We did
This album has been my life for the past four weeks, after randomly stumbling on a reddit post. Bless you musical angels
Please come and tour the UK so i can sweat and cry to these magical songs in public
could not have asked for a better start to 2018
Dingle McCringleberry Jr. thank you!! We’re stoked you’re with us :)
Immediately addicted; four bars in completely hooked. Great, great, great music!
Fnordathoth haha thank you! Hope the following bars are just as addictive ;)
@@aviationsband They were :) Buying the album soon as I get paid.
Really loving this! Reminds me of Widek and Sea in the Sky!
I've been a fan for over half a decade, and yo! What an awesome variety of metal and rock, executed expertly. Captain No Beard and Tornado on repeat.
Thanks Michael!! Those are standouts for sure. Can't wait to groove these live this year!
It's 2023 and this is one of the greatest albums ever made honestly.
"Concrete Kitten" is Chon + Plini vocals and I love it.
The riffs are damn close to a Chon song. The vocals remind me a lot of Corelia
Absolutely and utterly breathtaking album guys. So proud of you guys and I can't wait to see how far you guys go in the prog scene.
Just. So. GOOD.
So mad i didn’t hear this sooner
It’s ok we don’t take it personally.
Great album, guys. Really glad my friend recommended you to me.
Thanks so much! Hope you're enjoying the new single! ua-cam.com/video/KSnAG6Wa9Pg/v-deo.html
Your Outliers video got me here. I was worried that the rest of your music might not hit the same emotional cord for me.
This exceeds expectations! I LOVE your high energy that cascades into soft gentle grooves.
Your music is like riding a stormy wave that lazily washes into shore. I haven't been this enraptured by a new band in probably 10 years. The production feels huge but very tight and clear. And I'm picky AF!
So appreciated thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Ya'll too good!!!
thanks baby
Just discovered this band, really amazing work! Looking forward for more work from you guys! You have a lot of potential.
If you haven't checked out the latest releases from the past few months, check out or youtube channel. Or stay tuned for new music later this year. New album currently in full production mode rn :)
I'm impressed at how much clean guitar is in this but it sounds gritty and clear. I must know how you did this!
So I realized captain no beard reminds me of life is a highway, and now I love it just that much more.
Ps. I fucking love life is a highway
@@saulgoodman7330 That song is a banger yes
Heavy CHON vibes at 9:47
Still one of my top favorite parts to play live, so much bounce
Been so pumped for this since I held A Declaration Of Sound in such high regard, and it's everything I hoped it would be and more. Completely hooked. I'd be surprised if it wasn't in my top 3 come year's end.
I've been waiting for a studio version of Concrete Kitten ever since i saw the live video! Great album, been jamming it for 2 weeks now!
Have been lokking for something like this desperately!
thank you for this beautiful music.
Amazing album! I can't stop listening to it.
:)
Really fucking fresh.
I’ve been listening to this album every morning .
A masterpiece, one of the best albums I've heard this year!
Cheers man hope it stacks up with the rest coming this year!
I love this.
SO GOOD! Unbelievable mixing. Congrats!
Samuel Harchik Do you guys do mixing work for hire? I met you guys and Arch Echo at the Rochester show two months ago, and had forgotten to inquire. Cheers!
If this come out on the Google Store, I'm buying it as soon as I see it, especially Void; that ending piano part is just *OH SO GOOD*
Aw thanks so much man! We actually can't upload it to Google at this time without it also being uploaded to UA-cam which messes with our view count :( We'll try and find a work around. Thank so much for listening tho
Holy shit buying this. Thanks guys. Beautiful music as always
No problem Richard!
Two Days though... Wow... This is definitely my album of the year. I never see bands live, but I would definitely see you guys if you came to philly one day.
You should go listen to the Acoustic recording of Two Days. It's Fucking magical
You guys nailed it so hard with this one. Back when I listened to A Declaration Of Sound, I honestly wasn't sold on the sound, but I knew you all were talented AF. But this... Man, it is superb. Already bought it on bandcamp and I have listen to it endlessly on spotify.
Samuel Harchik WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN????
👀
Maaaaaaaaaan! What a treat! Love the whole album! My faves are Concrete Kitten, Void, Two Days and Lullaby!
I'm a fan instantly! From Philippines. 🧡
Cheers man! Welcome aboard.
@@aviationsband I really love all the guitsr sections, drums and the keyboards. Overall 10/10 clinging in my ears! Even the vocals. Ugh! Love you guys!
Hell yes, starting off the year with some new Aviations music. Great album, love the artwork too. Quest is my new favorite song from you guys. Keep on doing what you do.
pure fire!
How I've waited for this for too many years. Pure Bliss!! Love hearing Nineties Nine Ties in Two Days!
Hoping more people pick up on that
I feel like that lyric is gonna be recurring in their future music.
"When winters snow still lies,
It tries to battle you,
For who's colder in my eyes"
This sounds amazing keep on making great music like this.
This is LIT AF
Me too! If you guys hit the road, please make a stop in/near Chicago! Thanks for the awesome sauce that is this album
Absolutely amazing guys! If you ever come to Norway, I'll be there!
We'll do our best haha! Hello from Boston
Fantastic stuff, guys. Here's to a rad new year for ya!
I stumbled upon a comment from your bass player earlier today, and someone praising his content.
I took a look at it and saw his playthrough video for this band and loved it!
So much I had to listen to it again with the album mix.
Then I watched another video, the one with the "Official Rollercoaster Visualization". 😉
Then I had this album in my suggestions, so I saved it for later, and now that I'm towards the end I will tell you: You guys are amazing, and imma follow where you go from now on. (And check the back catalog of course.)
Keep on rocking, and cheers from France! 🍻
Welcome aboard, so glad you found us man ❤️ new music coming very soon
@@aviationsband Thanks guys!
Omg, I love this album. Definitely going to listen to this on repeat. Might try to play the keys part in Concrete Kitten, I love it so much.
I'll try my best! I hope I will do the part justice.
Awesome !!!
great work boys. this was my first front to back listen. Worth it
Hell yes Aleksei!!! So glad you finally got to hear it
Quest makes me so got damn moist, brb rewatching James' recital
hahahaha we need to unlist that video. We were playing some of these before they were done.
AWESOME! CHEERS FROM BRAZIL!
Holy hell this is sick
Oh my freakin' Xenu, am 2 minutes into this & am already having the outer layer of my brain sandblasted off. As a seasoned prog fan, have nothing but appreciation that the torch is being carried to the next level. Thanks, Aviations
Hell yes! So glad more people are discovering this album. It’s a lot to digest at once
Brilliant album
Absolutely my pleasure! :)
I just fucking love this, the perfect blend between math rock and progressive metal
Barney Rudkins-Stow so awesome man thank you!
Man I've been waiting on your new album like a dog waiting for his master to open a savory gravy filled meaty beef flavored can of dog food 😋
Some delays made it make more sense for us to start very early next year rolling out the album. It'll be worth the wait :)
Hope you've had a chance to check out the new single!
this rules
Greg Gablin you rule Greg :)
Ive been waiting so long for this. ADOS was so phenomenal, this has made my day fellas!
So glad you enjoy it :)
Cheers Tommy! So glad this finally reached you
Holy shit.. Where has then been all my life?! Awesome recommendation!
Austin Gayler hell yeah , glad you like it! These dudes are the truth.
Ive got plenty more recommendations just hit me up 😁
Austin Gayler from the looks of your playlist we would be good friends haha. You heard Polyphia?
I've waited so long and I love it. Thank you bois
Thank YOU
Really incredible work
THANKS MAN!!
This is uhhhh really good
Please upload full gp5 tabs for this stuff, I'd love to put out some guitar and piano covers. I'd tab it myself but this is waaay to much work to figure out by ear.
Phenomenal album guys, really stoked Adam got to stay on with vocals, His voice was such an integral part of the bands sound and as much as i love the instrumentals his voice and the harmonies his voice weaves with the guitars adds a whole other dimension to your sound.
10/10 was worth the wait.
Hell yeah Ed! Tab books will be coming, and I'm sure Richard would be completely down with transcribing his piano parts, maybe even throwing in some of what he plays live ;) He'll be helping me with the books layout as well so were looking to have those complete over the next couple months. Cheers dude!
Aviations Hell yeah tab books would be awesome! Trying to figure out some of these funky chords is proving to be difficult.
I found you only because I saw a comment you left on plini's video and it was hilarious. So I clicked on your profile, low and behold you're a bad ass fucking band! Win, win!!!
Holy toots the part at 8:06 is heavenly :~)
That is literally my favorite part on our album right now
THATS OUR BOY
Please tell me you guys are still together making beautiful music like this... Just recently found you guys and this record hits all the right emotional notes for me
Yup. ua-cam.com/video/_7Aj2wGxsA4/v-deo.html New album in progress to be completed this year.
@@aviationsband YES!!!! I've had your discography on repeat since I first heard it. "Two Days" has been solidified as a song that played during a turning point in my life, and will be immortalized. You struck gold with this cozy feel, and I'm excited to see what happens when you keep digging. Make those waves boys
This jams hard. Keep up the good work boys [:
TsrifElddimTsal thank you so much man! Can’t wait to jam it live!
under 10k views? What the actual fuck, this deserves far more
Best of luck to you. I can't afford to support you financially but I've shown your album to all my friends. Would be great to see you live, but sadly impossible
That's amazing man, thank you so much.
Reallly cool shit progressive feel good music.
Thanks so much
Excelente, continuem assim 🤘 🇧🇷
Thank you so much! Greetings from Boston.
I love it, perfect album!! :D
Thanks Martín!
Uoool O som lembra Arch Echo. Mas com vocal. Muito bom 🇧🇷
Fantástico! Arch Echo são bons amigos nossos. Obrigado pelas palavras gentis.
Pretty great so far! I'm getting some strong I am abomination vibes (coincidence?).
Samuel Harchik dang, it's probably mostly the vocals, but they are def worth checking out (criminally underrated). The guitarist Nick Sampson has done of production work with alot of bands (born of osiris, polyphia, asking alexandia, we came as romans etc)
Samuel Harchik also, Nick Sampson is a crazy good guitarist
*production engineering or mixing, I'm not sure
😍
er mer gerrrrdd this is catchy as hell!
You boys absolutely killed it!!
You kill me everyday bb
I don't know if you guys don't mind releasing guitar tabs for "Facewaves", "Lullaby", or Concrete Kitten". Those 3 are my favs, amazing album
Tab books are on there way to being complete! Should see those surface in the coming months :)
Aviations Glad to hear that. Definitely getting it first day
Damn concrete kitten is so good. Everybody's on point
Reminds me of i am abomination
fantastic guys!
