Aesthetic Perfection - Automaton (feat. Sebastian Svalland) (Official Audio)

- Eat. Sleep. Work. Repeat. The Automaton carries on in its endless loop. Never failing. Never flinching. Never feeling.
My new single “Automaton” is about trying to reclaim one’s humanity and identity in a world that often demands they be sacrificed. A cold and mechanical mid tempo club track that evolves into an explosion of guitars and energetic screams, “Automaton” is a celebration of the human condition. Once again, guitars have been provided by Swedish virtuoso Sebastian Svalland (PAIN, Letters from the Colony, LINDEMANN) which breathe soul into an otherwise lifeless machine. Produced and mixed by none other than Rhys Fulber (Frontline Assembly, Delerium, Conjure One, Fear Factory).
Upon release, "Automaton" charted on iTunes in multiple countries. Here are some of the highlights:
#1 German Metal Charts
#1 German Rock Charts
#1 UK Metal Charts
#1 Swedish Rock Charts
#22 UK Rock Charts
#5 US Metal Charts
#6 in all of Finland
#1 Finnish Metal Charts
#1 Finnish Rock Charts
#2 Italian Metal Charts
Not bad!

I’m automatic,
I’m automatic just like you,
Another panic,
Another rat inside an endless loop,
I can’t breathe
Anxiety,
Oh,
Sword it swings,
Looms over me.
So I’m just gonna slide,
From underneath the knife,
Away from all the lies,
So I’m just gonna slide.
Psychosomatic,
Psychosomatic all along,
It’s an obsession,
It’s an obsession,
Foolish animals,
Pressure peaks,
Inside of me,
A war a beast,
Awakening.
Loving the Kraftwerk visual.
WE ARE THE ROBOTS!!!!
I think you've reached the level of artistry where everything you touch turns into pure gold
God I hope that's true. I have no perspective. haha.
Truth
@@ClosetoHumanMusic it's absolutely true. You have the talent to take a little bit from every genre and re-imagine it with that AP touch...it is pure genius.
I completely agree with this.
@@elbosausage true
Idk why this popped up in a search for "animals refusing to come in from the cold" but I dig it.
Only thing I can think of is that “foolish animals” is in the lyrics.
The Kraftwerk's Man-Machine reference caught my attention!
Wasn't Rhys Fulber (who mixed this song) in Kraftwerk?
@@jeremyfrost2636 He was never a member of Kraftwerk.
The singles get better and better every month! ❤️🖤🤘
FIrst listen: It feels like this could have come off either Close To Human or A Violent Emotion. It's definitely got that early era feel to it. Awesome that you recaptured that. That bassline is awesome, it thumps and it drives plus that guitar solo was sick.
Great Work Daniel. You knocked this one right out of the park.
This is my new favorite song.
I love the kraftwerk tribute ❤ 😍
such great collaboration on this
I love the KRAFTWERK reference
Second part is the best!! Thanks Daniel
I love how you implement guitars more and more in your newer songs! Especially because you do it very nuanced, never too much but with the right dose and at the right time, when it adds something
I was very hesitant about including guitars in my music because so many electronic bands don't do it with the kind of style and finesse that is required. So many of them just throw some chugga chugga riffs over a finished track and expect it to work. Guitars are very nuanced instruments and take a lot of space in a mix. You need the right player and the right production to pull it off. So far, I feel lucky to have been able to do it! But I've had a lot of help from people way more talented than I am! Rhys, Jinxx, Sebastian etc...
@@ClosetoHumanMusic perfectly said, makes a lot of sense! And yes, you work with fantastic musicians there :) To give some other feedback: i personaly think a guitar also adds a lot to your live sound, works really well together
Minus the vocals obviously - this sounds like something out of a Crash Bandicoot Neo Cortex level... which is never a bad thing!
I mean, I do love Crash Bandicoot!
Ooh it does!
Ahhh and I can totally see crash doing that dance when he completes a level
Really digging the Kraftwork reference!
Sick guitar, cool robo voice, I very much dig it.
Three months and three bangers. Keep up the amazing work, Daniel.
This is such an underrated song! When my hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or dysautonomia try to make my life miserable, I blast this to help keep my mind focused on what is going right. If I’m feeling like my chronic illness is winning, Automaton reminds me that I can slide into a different perspective. Sometimes just sliding is all I need to power through the pain or the fainting spell. 💜🤘🏻🖤
Out of everything you’ve done this year, so far this is my favorite.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Same
Total same
Yeahhhhhhhh this rocks
Listening to this whilst having an anxiety attack tonight has helped me immensely! Captures a lot of deep feels. Comforting in a horrible way to know we are not alone. #weareautomatonbutwearenotalone
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man love seeing and hearing the way you create your own sound from the musical influences that have inspired you
My new favorite single of the year! It's real funky!
Full circle bro!!! Hell yes!
Cool beans! I just discovered your stuff a couple months ago, and this one's a real kicker! And of course the graphic for this is a delightful werk of kraft. Keep it up, man!
Randomly showed up on my recommended and I'm not mad. Nice song.
God bless UA-cam recommendations!
Aesthetic Perfection and Front Line Assembly collaborating be perfect for my ears.
Kraftwerk will always be a reference
my first fav of this year definitely
God damn! I love it! 🖤🤩🖤🤩🖤🤩
Automatic Perfection !
You Delivered. AGAIN! Awesome Song!
Out of the last 3 songs, this one's my favorite. Love the beat and the harsher vocals. Keep it up man, love your stuff!

Nice song!
This is amazing - I’ve been following your stuff for quite a while, and I love that you seem to push yourself in different directions often. I also met you in London about 10 years ago, and it was a relief that you were even more awesome and lovely than I thought you would be
Amazing! ❤
It's so good!
Another great, artsy song💕🔥

Hell yeah! This is amazing!
Nicely done sir👍
Love the track. The video image makes me think Solitary Experiments vs Kraftwerk.
I love it🖤
This would make an awesome theme for the Corpo lifepath in Cyberpunk 2077 ❤ Awesome as always!
That's what people keep saying! I wouldn't know tho cuz I've never played the game. 😂
@@ClosetoHumanMusic you should play! 😂 You'd probably enjoy it. Hope you get to play it soon.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Me: SLIDE SLIDE SLIDE!
verdammt - mindestens 10 mal angehört und ich liebe diesen Song immer noch - fett🔊🎼🎤👍
Yet again another hit man. A good touch of NIN in this song. We all have elements of the one source, this song put a smile on my face I dont smile much!!!! 10/10...
You have a club banger. 👩🏻💻🎧🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶
Great song Daniel! I love that you and Sebastian worked together on this. Its hard to choose the best thing you have done during the pandemic, as the Basement series left me mindblown, but this is a whole other level of amazeballs.
Way to start the day - as I get ready for another 8hours in the home office. Eat. Sleep. Work. Repeat. Indeed. At least this song will keep me dancing all day, even if it’s just in my head. 😅
Your face is exactly like the SebastiAn mask of ross ross ross album cover 👌 and i think this is your best song yet, make more with this style pls 🙏🏻
I wish I knew what style this is so I could make more of it!
Man i got here late. 😥
Still listen to it awsome. 😁
This is 🔥🔥🔥
I just like it :D
Yes! Love it! Nailed the chorus!
Amazing song
Ai ai captain. Lead me to wastes.
Wow ! A new masterpiece ! I love it ! 💜 🎶 🖤
Love this thank you !!
Omg my friend!!!!!! Beats!!
This is wonderful
Goes good with the theatre of the mind. arrr
This slams!
I like it!
Dammit Daniel you're amazing. I even got my MOM listening to your shit, she thinks everything since Til Death slaps and has been enjoying the latest singles I've sent her. She loves your pop covers too.
Love it 🤟
And the 2021 musical project continues it's epic journey with yet another great track. Awesome how you are able to mingle electronic music with rock and other genres and make it work. Thanks for being you, Daniel, and keep up the great work
Pure 🔥!!
Daaaaaaaaaamn Daniel. Why haven't I subscribed yet?!
I dunno!? You should subscribe!!!
Just had a white vans flash back with that comment.
This is really fucking good!
So good! I have loved every song you have put out this year and this will be another one I will be rocking out to all month long!! ❤️❤️❤️
Can't wait to hear the new song
@IAMDANIELGRAVES - I've just been amusing myself hovering the mouse over your head icon at the bottom of the screen, making you dance robotically to your own music! LOLZ!
Have you played cyberpunk 2077? You look so much like delamain in this picture. It’s an AI taxi driver that is part of the story. Fantastic.
I haven't played it, actually. I'm just not much of a video game person. Will google the character, tho!
Yeess! Basically since this promo media dropped I've been going nuts trying to sort out why this felt so "recently familiar."
Delamain from Cyberpunk it is! Thank you for putting that bee in my bonnet to rest.
I knew that this picture was familiar to me. That's it Delamain! LOL! Great song, it should be on Vexelstrom radio
Got there before me. spitting image of delamain in the picture and Automaton/Delamain cab service has a similar theme lol.
I love it!!!!
Hell yes! This is a banger dude! Everything you do is pure hype magic!
LOVE IT!!!
Love this. Reminds me of Kraftwerk and Gravity Kills. You should do a collab with Dero Goi of Oomph!! in the future @iamdanielgraves!!
this is awesome! love the metal industrial groove! Vocals are incredible! if you are capable of writing a bad song, i have yet to hear it! lol thanks for perking up an absolutely miserable week for me!
Freaking awesome
Wicked, Love it.
Nice!
