i can't stop hearing this chorus in my head. "I'm already gone though it seems your here, i will return to you, when i am through with this i swear.". - new favourite track! Epic track....really digging the new veil of maya.
Something about the melodies and feel to this one are just gorgeous. It took me a bit at first to feel this new album but now I can't stop cycling through it over and over again.
This is the most theatrical sounding that Veil Of Maya ever written Very nice musical structure! 2:18 is a different one that makes the song even more special! Marc Okubo is not only crazy good at guitar but also at writting structure.
The Tom run 0:17 - like a Juggler catching all balls falling from different hights. Gorgeous Bell Cymbal 1:03 and Combo 1:04/1:05 more of this stuff 1:24/1:25 ghost notes left and right. Just how I like it. And I'm probably not the first one mentioning the nice Vocal / Bassline Combo in the Chorus.
I have listened to songs from Veil of Maya in the past. To be honest, the musicians are brutally tight and gooooooood on their instruments. However their previous vocalists do not really cut the cheese for me......all the previous vocalists could do is scream like the feverish hounds of the underworld and that's just it. However I believe that VOM has gone in the RIGHT direction with the introduction of the new vocalist. I mean......LISTEN to these masterpieces..this albums has much tasty stuff..instrumental parts, brutal break downs, awesome musical passages... the Works...these musicians are Fantastic writers and the new vocalist adds a really new dimension to this album. Also the vocalist's cleans are perfect as well as his screams. Plus there is clarity in his singing.....vocals like that should connect well with audiences world wide, not some Donald Duck quack core vocals pitched down 3 octaves......

@1:50 I wish someone would make an edited version and extend that little instrumental part just one more time. That's got to be one of the best riffs I've heard in a while, as well with the intro riff! Amazing.
Am I the only one who actually hears issues around like 1:20? Reminds me of their more well written choruses, they do some really awesome chorded sections from time to time.
I mean honestly if you take a good listen Issues REALLY does have a lot of solid writing, their stuff is fairly technical at times. I would hope people aren't so blind to pay attention to good music despite tags and labels.
+BestMemesInTown oh yeah definitely. Skylar accord is one of the best bassists in the scene, and they definitely get a bit technical at times that's for sure. I'm was just pointing out that a lot of people don't realize that (or don't want to accept it) so they tend to give them hate because they sound a bit poppy.

foxxrider250r imo blast beats are occasionally alright but in general are predictable, bland, and remind me of when i was sixteen and thought that they actually made things sound "heavy".. grow up blast beats would shit on the complex and delicious grooves in this album
sounds like old VoM to me with a better vocalist. Same writing style since it's still Marc fucking Okubo. This is still VoM whether you like it or not.
They are entitled to change whatever they want to suit their musical preferences. I was just responding to your comment which stated that the music is written the same vein. Many of the new songs have a more defined structure, as well as more melodic parts (probably to fit the vocal / style change). Didn't say it was wrong, but it is definitely not the "same writing style".
We could go on for years on what this sounds like. There is influence from all over the place. I won't argue over what this sounds like because I'm scared of the comment section.
Spencer Sotelo is Sumerian Records rainmaker! I support the idea that Spencer Sotelo should collaborate with all of Sumerian Records bands. #FFTL #VeilofMaya
Really catchy song. Nobody will like this comparison but the cleans really have the tone of Tyler Carter who was in woe is me and Spencer from periphery its really growing on me. Maybe in a couple years they can get Brandon and do a TCMC II for the old fans a man can dream.
Marco Beltran He said feminine, not feminist. lol Doesn't matter who leads, as long as they're good, and most people can't fill the shoes of power properly anyway, so it's all irrelevant what gender they are.
Salvatration Halex Funny xD The songs were mostly named after women, but he definitely said feminine. Not so misleading when I saw it, but I was sure that it was about cleans.
Them screams over the cleans are perfect.
Agree 100%. The writing on this record is nothing short of amazing.
That chorus delivers on so many levels. I don't know about all of you, but I gotta change my shorts.
i can't stop hearing this chorus in my head.
"I'm already gone though it seems your here, i will return to you, when i am through with this i swear.". - new favourite track!
Epic track....really digging the new veil of maya.
That final mini solo at 3:06 into the final scream of "I WILL RETURN!!!!!" is one of my favourite metal vocal moments of all time.
The whole song is one of my favorite metal moments of all time. Matter of fact, the whole album. And I don’t even like metal core.
I keep replaying it!
Mine is the star spangled baner !
The riff at 0:59 is majestic.
Mikasa is from attack on Titan
Leeloo the fifth element
This one, Game of Thrones
Lucy, the movie
And Lisbeth is from the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.
lucy from elfen lied
Nyuu is from elfen lied
Aeris, from final fantasy 7
Nyu and Lucy are from Elfin Lied. Nyu is Lucy's split personality. This album came out looooong before that movie.
The name of this song is amazing. Valar morghulis.
Kimmie Britt you're hot
Derek Phelps I don't think this has ever worked on any human ever
Derek Phelps amen to that!
Derek Phelps Duuude....
Kimmie Britt I'm not surprised to see you here.
I love this album. I always have loved veil of Maya since the beginning.
Samantha Fonseca alright then.
Something about the melodies and feel to this one are just gorgeous. It took me a bit at first to feel this new album but now I can't stop cycling through it over and over again.
Can we just appreciate the fact that they named this song Daenerys? Props for referencing Game of Thrones.
Yo, fifth element, FF7 and AoT too! This is dope
True that!
Zach Everett Yeah, because it's not like Game of Thrones is super hugely mainstream or anything so a reference is so COOL
Dystopia1980 As a fan of VoM and GoT, I was just pleased for the reference. Forgive me for liking something mainstream.
Dystopia needa chill on my dude Zach
It's okay to like things that other people like
weird, right?
The band has my name in it omg and they're amazing and GOT so my life is now complete.
Maya Lake omg omg omg!!!!! -_-
This is the most theatrical sounding that Veil Of Maya ever written
Very nice musical structure! 2:18 is a different one that makes the song even more special!
Marc Okubo is not only crazy good at guitar but also at writting structure.
Best song off the record imo! The song itself, the GoT reference, the CHON comments, the catchy as all hell hook.. just so much yes!
1:10-1:30 proof that Spencer did in fact produce vocals on this record! Love it
what a goddamm progression... love that intro
Your music provides such emotion. Thank you for all that you do!
His cleans in this song give me chills
these dudes kill the clean vocals wow!!!!!!!
The Tom run 0:17 - like a Juggler catching all balls falling from different hights. Gorgeous Bell Cymbal 1:03 and Combo 1:04/1:05 more of this stuff 1:24/1:25 ghost notes left and right. Just how I like it. And I'm probably not the first one mentioning the nice Vocal / Bassline Combo in the Chorus.

yep
+Immanuel Hunte agreed sir. new vocalist is a refreshing addition.
+Immanuel Hunte well put
+Immanuel Hunte I agree. The stuff with Luke is growing much more on me
I feel like they need a new one to at least help with live vocals....... have you heard em? they are a bit lackluster...
damn. this riff forced me to become a fan that i can't even refuse.
blessed you daenerys, mother of djent djent djent
cool opening riff
Enzo Calquin my favourite by far in this album !
Nya Rvn idem, too damn brutal, magestic composition.
Enzo Calquin I love it as well but I just dont like the breakdowns
Enzo Calquin and ending riff also :D
my favorite song on the album by far. That vocal agility though!!
I'm glad I got to see them live when they were playing a lot of these songs from this album.
Love their new shit. Brandon was amazing but Lukas defines their riffs and beats. keep it up VOM
They were playing this in Hot Topic today and I fell in love with it
That saddens me
David Michael You'll get over it.
Hell yes! Best song so far on the album.
This album was so well produced it’s perfection ❤
This is fitting for the mother of dragons
awesome, best VoM album.
Disagree
i agree with myself
***** Yeah you kinda wrong
***** I've been listening to this album on repeat for more than 15 times already. I love this album, but it doesn't beat some of their others.
fuck hipsters, still the same VoM but now with great clean vocals
KHALEESI!!!!!!
I have finally come alive
Collectively we wish to uplift
Some we lose along the way
But there are those who return to reclaim their place
This way we sought is obscure and strange
The deranged form groups of hate
Facing the others with fury
Fires which rage will only be extinguished
Brought to us from the greater force
And all which we take must be given back
We are life and we are death
And of course we are all of the rest
I'm already gone though it seems you're here (I'm already gone)
I will return to you when I am through with this, I swear (it seems you're here)
I'm already gone though it seems to me you're here
I will return to you when I am through with this, I swear
Engulfed in the ocean of life
With only ourselves to protect
Neglect has a consequence
We are life and we are death
The deranged form groups of hate
Groups of hate
Fires which rage will only be extinguished
Some we lose along the way
I'm already gone though it seems you're here (I'm already gone)
I will return to you when I am through with this, I swear (it seems you're here)
I'm already gone though it seems to me you're here

Pure gold.
Met these guys at Vans Warped Tour all awesome dudes
This song has a chiodos like sound but a VoM structure. And I personally believe its amazing.
it sounds like CHON blend with heavyness, awesome, impressive music right here!!
Love this record, i used to listen a fucking lot to this in my 2nd year of high school.
needless to say, one of my favourite albums of all times
@1:50 I wish someone would make an edited version and extend that little instrumental part just one more time. That's got to be one of the best riffs I've heard in a while, as well with the intro riff! Amazing.
Just found these guys, this albums been on repeat.
My fav track on the album, by far
My fav song from the whole album
This song definitely reminds me of a lost track like after codex on ID
Reminds me of ID soooooooo hard
Wishing the rest of the album was available on spotify, so i can actually jam to this at the gym.
Wasn't really into them before. I am digging this new singer and sound. Good stuff! Gotta buy tis album!
They better have a Jon Snow song on their Patriarch album...
+Omni Codex Youuuuuu! XD
Oh Sleeper rules lml
+Omni Codex They better have a Patriarch album...
Tristan Vall lol ikr
+Tristan Vall yah there better be...
Love the intro. I love the melody.
Loving this album. Seriously.
just got the CD TODAY!!!!
Hands down favorite album.
Am I the only one who actually hears issues around like 1:20?
Reminds me of their more well written choruses, they do some really awesome chorded sections from time to time.
big mistake dude. mentioning a band like issues on a VOM vid is gonna get you a bit of backlash lol (I love issues BTW and I did hear it a little)
I mean honestly if you take a good listen Issues REALLY does have a lot of solid writing, their stuff is fairly technical at times.
I would hope people aren't so blind to pay attention to good music despite tags and labels.
I most definitely agree
+BestMemesInTown oh yeah definitely. Skylar accord is one of the best bassists in the scene, and they definitely get a bit technical at times that's for sure. I'm was just pointing out that a lot of people don't realize that (or don't want to accept it) so they tend to give them hate because they sound a bit poppy.
didnt they tour together???
I am blown away, I love these guys
Probably my favorite track off the album
I love the new style. Its basically perfect. Siper good balance of sounds.
Great album one of the best so far for 2015

+Aaron Poole part of the copy and paste . on periphery songs people post the lyrics i thought i should do the same lol
+Nicholas Earle no quiz , saw them live a couple weeks ago at the roxy is was really sick , they are great live
this is by far my favorite song
See Sumerian, bands like this and ERRA is what you need to be bringing to your label. These guy fucking shred!
i need blast beats
foxxrider250r Right, this album is a little soft imo. At least for VOM
foxxrider250r agreed
Fret Technician no kidding. different, yea. good, yea probly. softer, definitely.
foxxrider250r That's my only downside with this album
foxxrider250r imo blast beats are occasionally alright but in general are predictable, bland, and remind me of when i was sixteen and thought that they actually made things sound "heavy".. grow up blast beats would shit on the complex and delicious grooves in this album
sounds like old VoM to me with a better vocalist. Same writing style since it's still Marc fucking Okubo. This is still VoM whether you like it or not.
The song structures are actually completely different for most of the tracks.
it's called writing around clean vocals are they not allowed to change at least one thing?
They are entitled to change whatever they want to suit their musical preferences. I was just responding to your comment which stated that the music is written the same vein. Many of the new songs have a more defined structure, as well as more melodic parts (probably to fit the vocal / style change).
Didn't say it was wrong, but it is definitely not the "same writing style".
Rexhasta it's close to it ;p
Good point. It is not like they randomly changed to polka music, haha.
Describe this song in one word?
Yes.
Might be my favorite song on the record.
I felt some CHON
No...you didnt.
Isaiah Serrano 0:58 , right ? :)
Nya Rvn Yup
We could go on for years on what this sounds like. There is influence from all over the place. I won't argue over what this sounds like because I'm scared of the comment section.
vince guzman There's some parts that are certainly similar to Chon's style. Don't try to deny it, friend.
Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Djragons
One word to describe this: WOW!!!!!
My favorite album of all time
so in love with this song
One of my new favs.
I love it
Spencer Sotelo is Sumerian Records rainmaker! I support the idea that Spencer Sotelo should collaborate with all of Sumerian Records bands. #FFTL #VeilofMaya
No
#completelymissedthepoint
Music video for this one please!
Man this song and the last one on the album cruuush it.
This one probably my favorite
Really catchy song. Nobody will like this comparison but the cleans really have the tone of Tyler Carter who was in woe is me and Spencer from periphery its really growing on me. Maybe in a couple years they can get Brandon and do a TCMC II for the old fans a man can dream.
This song is too good!
I didnt know If I'd like the album I was unsure but at 0:58 seconds I was like aww yeah
Best song on Matriarch!
1:20 is the pretty part
I'm already gone though it seems to me you're here (I'm already gone) I will return to you when I am through with this I swear
best fucking vocals goddamn
Mother of Dragons!
"I will take what is mine with fire and blood."
Best album, yup I said it
0:58 I smell cleans... 1:07 well, fuck it... 1:11 oh, nevermind :D fucking awesome band and song, think I have a new one in my list
Great job veil of maya
This song is too good
Valar Morghulis
Veils best album by far..
I disagree, I think id is their best
+rskat501 respect
so this was the " more femininist" theme they wanted to portrait, songs about powerfull women!
Marco Beltran He said feminine, not feminist. lol
Doesn't matter who leads, as long as they're good, and most people can't fill the shoes of power properly anyway, so it's all irrelevant what gender they are.
Jrocka7x God, if it was a more feminist album, it would be thirty straight minutes of Anita Sarkeesian and Melody Hensley telling me to kill myself.
Salvatration Halex Funny xD
The songs were mostly named after women, but he definitely said feminine. Not so misleading when I saw it, but I was sure that it was about cleans.
Salvatration Halex Or Big Red telling you to shut the fuck up for a second.
Fuck the negative people. This is beautiful. T-T
i listen to this song after i wake up in the mornin' lmao cool enough
This song is awesome! I could careless if they decide to scream or sing. Music can be great both ways!
Minus the cleans obviously but I love cleans so it's all g00d to me m8
Amazing
I love donair's. This song is pretty good to.
this is my favourite
Friendly reminder that they had a song called 'Winter Is Coming Soon' on their last record
RIP John Manard love you baby
God damn this is sick
a song about lightning from final fantasy xiii would be nice
How she failed us all?
Light Yagami wouldnt that be a great song about failure though
I wonder if Emilia Clarke knows about this song...
She will give 0 fuck about
Erik Tails 0-0-0-0-0-0 fucks to be exact.
+cloud041089 this deserves more likes haha
i wonder if she cares...
she would think wow this sounds good i like what these guys are doing
Easily best song.
