I've experienced this before. When my mom died, I felt as if reality split in two. That a past version of myself stayed behind to when she was alive, and a future me went forward into a world I didn't recognize. I often wondered when I would be able to "go back," as if it was just some dream that I was having. It changed the way I even grasped the concept of time. 2019, 2020, 2021, were just numbers to me. Finding myself in me was so very difficult, and I changed a lot after what happened. But just like that rainbow strobe at the end of the video, all of those versions of me became one. I finally discovered who "I" was. Through our deepest pain comes our greatest happiness, sometimes. Absolute masterpiece of a song, and a record. Thank you IA.
This was beautiful, thank you for sharing! I am dealing with a variety of health issues and am on the journey of finding me within myself. Reconciling all the positive and negative experiences into a coherent version of me is proving difficult but is the only path forwards.
For the love of God make a T shirt with that frame of the woman in front of the moon before that massacre of a breakdown! Definitely my favorite music video IA has released for one of my favorite tracks.
My daughter was in open heart surgery moments after being born. She is thriving now, thankfully. She's special needs and has trouble communicating verbally, but we've discovered she has my taste for energetic metalcore/deathcore. Figured it might scare her, but she screams and growls happily along with a big grin as soon as the playlist starts. Enjoy the tiny days, they're precious and pass quickly. God bless.
I have a Metalcore playlist for my Toddler called Mad Jams, and I've been rocking her to sleep to it for 2 years. Invent Animate is usually the first artist we listen to. 🤘
They said this was both the heaviest and softest music they’ve ever made, and I had no idea how that description would translate when I heard the album, it’s a perfect description.
Invent Animate is literally the best metalcore band right now. No words can explain the intense emotions and feelings this album gives me. IA till the death 🔥
I don't know the next time we'll get an album like this again, one that is on repeat nonstop and always feels like you're listening to it for the first time. Absolutely album of the year.
@@cloudrise I just want to say that I was listening from day one, its still my favorite album, and the song without a whisper is actually what introduced me to metal. Ended up in my recommended by some act of god and now I have a 300 song metal playlist, but it started with this album. I remember not even really "getting it" when I first listened to this song but when the breakdown hit at 2:10 I got hooked to metal like a drug. I didn't like the screaming yet, but the drums on this track went beyond that. 3:25 and onwards is what I think edging is in audio form. I still think the drummer is the best alive right now. Listen to 2:45 and tell me he isn't top 5. Brother is cracked.
Possibly my favorite song of the year. I swear...somehow these guys manifested all the imagery my brain conjures from this song, into this video. Incredible.
One of the best songs this decade for me. The middle breakdown destroys me and the end breakdown gives me such huge amount of emotions no other song have ever given, it literally gives me tears, so strong it is
It’s my first time hearing this awesome album, but man this song hits different with the video. Pain is universal, but as a girl w a chronic incurable disease and dealing w pain on a daily basis, it just changes you. Thank you for being unafraid to speak to those deep, dark feelings. I feel so validated & this song itself is mastery.
The whole album is a masterpiece. I love how this song in particular can switch between ambiance and earth-shattering, effortlessly, and in a way that works. I'm not usually one to watch music videos but I trust this band to make quality art after seeing The Sun Sleeps, As if it Never Was.
Best song on Heavener for me (and that's saying something lol). I love how it switches things up every 15 seconds. And the ending is one of the best breakdowns i have ever heard.
0:00-3:23: Impressive metalcore that just shows how talented the guys in IA truly are (and how they are unfairly underrated) 3:23-3:45: A melancholic moment of respite that slowly seeks to bring out the feels deep inside us. 3:45-4:06: The heavy build-up 4:07 onwards: one of the most beautifully gut-wrenching pieces of sonic art ever recorded by a metal band, one that makes us experience emotions we do not want to feel, but transport us to a place we want to last forever. In short, IA may have dropped their magnum opus, and this song has all the traits to become a classic.
@@CaptainFalcon92 I've heard Everchanger before. You have to stop thinking that everyone who likes the new records has never heard the old ones. This is pretty annoying.
Heavener has been album of the year and nothing has come close imo. This is probably my favorite song on the album its so heavy and blissful at the same time. Honestly insane
Album of the year for me hands down. This is one of those rare albums that I can listen to every song without any skips, and have a connection with each one. What a freakin experience!
this is by far one of the (if not THE) best album in the past few years in general. this album makes me feel so many things every single time i listen to it. and lemme tell ya ive had this thing on repeat since release. so proud and thankful for the Invent guys for pouring their everything into these songs (and videos) sorry long post. love yall :D
Ben's poetry has kept me going/alive and returned the "hope in my bones" literally. And marcus his poetry is now keeping me on the right path. Thanks IA. Ya'll are the best. I'd probably not be here if it weren't for Ya'll.
This song really spoke to me. As Marcus said, it's about identity crisis, from what feels like after death or loss of some kind. Their music helped me after the loss of my Dad a few years back, and Heavener made me shed more than a few tears. Immolation of Night though is incredibly empowering and made me proud of still being here after so much pain in the past. Stay strong and cheers to Invent Animate making a mark in our lives for the better 🤝
Let's GOOOOO! So glad this was chosen for the video! Plus Brody will be on drums and Trey an additional guitar for this. They should just make that the official lineup.
This is hands down one of my favorite songs I have ever heard. Just absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Beautifully heavy beyond words and the lyrics are sublime.
Is the kind of band that wakes up at 3 a.m., calls each other, gets together and works on that one little tiny thing they can't figure out .... and they LOVE it, that's why we love it 🤙
Stellar work to Chris and the team with this film. The ending breakdown + visuals made me cry (and I haven't felt emotional with this song before). I appreciate the aesthetic choices such as color changes and blur element in front of the lens. Only things which would've made it even better are 1) an alternate Marcus shot, and 2) more guitar shots as it is the main driving instrument, maybe a close-up during the technical parts.
There's something so special about the Heavener that puts this album higher in my list, simply because it feels like a fantastic step-up for a Metalcore in general. This album feels so perfectly well immersed with Ambient and Shoegaze, but at the same time has the incredible guitar riffs that include Djent and Thall into one piece of art, some incredible and unusual choruses i've personally never heard before, like at all? and very interesting melodies... The reason why the sound of this album is compared to so many different bands shows exactly that it's extremely wide in terms of a Metalcore sound. This is an amazing genre-defining album and i totally don't understand the people that consider this album the same and repititive, each song differs from each other but still remains in the main concept of the album with amazing transitions. Also i don't get that overrated take where people go with "it sounds completely like Architects" and so on, even if there are some similarities between the bands(what i personally cannot hear at all lol), Heavener introduces so much unique and incredible stuff that makes it completely fresh and opens a secret path before unseen. Not speaking of their previous albums and a particular song like "The Sun Sleeps" which is in my opinion one of the most unique metalcore songs ever. The only bands that i can think of when it's coming to the similarities or the elements that i can connect to Heavener in terms of the sound, are: Lost in Separation(2018), Arkive(2017), early Northlane, last album of Silent Planet, early Holding Absence and a little of Thornhill in there, some part of Vildhjarta too, while IA still got their own emotional and impactful sound. P.S - Heavener proves that Metalcore is not any way close to dying.
Ehrmergerd this song though 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌 your guitarist is like my favorite of all time! So djenty I love it! Please come to FL soon so I can come watch you guys live!! 🙏 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
What a beautiful music video! The whole atmosphere reminded me of the legend of Zelda majoras mask. I discovered invent animate a few months ago through a friend recommendation and I haven’t stopped listening since. Keep up the good work fellas 🫶
I used to tell myself “I was born in the wrong generation for music” and fuck was I so wrong. This past 3 years maybe 4-5 have been nothing but absolute fucking bangers. Thank you
By far the most frequently heard song on the album. I had already thought that this one could do with a lot more attention. My goodness, it's all so heartbreaking and beautiful.

@@camallred142 Fr bro
its crazy how hard marcus can push those high notes
How the fuck are these guys so under rated?! It’s a crime
Just found out about them because Facebook kept pushing their tour with Northlane in my feed! Thank God they did and I just bought tix!
Nik brought me here.
I wouldn't say they're under rated. It's more you've either heard them or you haven't....

2:11 is literally wild… I would love to have a t-shirt with that on it!
I am out of speech. This is a masterpiece.
The more I listen to this song, the more I realize this is one of the best metal compositions ever written.
This song is just "what if Vildjharta did metalcore vocals" and i f*ckin love it. Keep it up dudes
I just rocked my 4 day old newborn to sleep to this song🥲
How hard did u rock it
My daughter was in open heart surgery moments after being born. She is thriving now, thankfully.

Same bro! :)
lol overrated af this band
I fall in love with them
Them, Currents, and Make Them Suffer would have to be my top 3 right now. All insanely solid.
And hollowfront,currents
Invent Animate, Currents, and LMTF HAVE BEEN CARRYING IMO. Every song they make has been a FUCKING MASTERPIECE!
God bless you my man
IA, Currents and LMTF are easily my 3 favorite bands at the moment and have been for a while honestly
"lmtf" ?
@@cobraglatiator “like moths to flames” you should definitely check them out man. They’ve made constant bangers 🔥
Like Moths to Flames@@cobraglatiator
I don't know the next time we'll get an album like this again, one that is on repeat nonstop and always feels like you're listening to it for the first time. Absolutely album of the year.
One of if not THE album of the past decade for me. Augment from ERRA and Greyview from Invent were my two priors!
Love it when music hits like that
@@cloudrise I just want to say that I was listening from day one, its still my favorite album, and the song without a whisper is actually what introduced me to metal.

I still think the drummer is the best alive right now. Listen to 2:45 and tell me he isn't top 5. Brother is cracked.
Invent Animate, Currents, and Silent Planet are absolutely killing it with heavy music right now 🤘🤘🤘
Don't forget Polaris! Fatalism is my AOTY for sure
Agreed. Nice choices 🤙
Sleep Token
Hard to pick an AOTY. Heavener, Fatalism, TDWS, and Superbloom all great options.
@@conphluterhe said heavy
Band deserves so much more love. Nothing but top tier shit
Possibly my favorite song of the year. I swear...somehow these guys manifested all the imagery my brain conjures from this song, into this video. Incredible.
Mine is Immolation of Night, BUT this comes damn close. Heavener is my Album of The Year.
I know, really captures the contemplative spirit of the song
I’m glad they choose to make a video from this song, such a banger for real and Brody now on drums and Trey on guitar is like a dream lineup
2:01 still breakdown of the year
Album has been on repeat since release. Well done guys
Low key best track on the album, that ending OMG
Not even low key, this was my favorite hands down. I am obsessed with the band but False Meridian is def in their top 5 they have made.
The most amazing progression about this album is how Marcus has improved in his vocal ability to become one of the best metalcore vocalists right now
Awesome as always! I like the Sun & Moon lyrics and imagery throughout their discography.
One of the best songs this decade for me. The middle breakdown destroys me and the end breakdown gives me such huge amount of emotions no other song have ever given, it literally gives me tears, so strong it is
wow what an awesome looking music video, captures the vibes of the song perfectly
They absolutely nailed it
It’s my first time hearing this awesome album, but man this song hits different with the video.

this is my absolute favorite song on the album, i'm so frickin excited!! and can't wait to see them in Aneheim in October
I’ll be there too. That show’s gonna go OFF
Best song on Heavener for me (and that's saying something lol). I love how it switches things up every 15 seconds. And the ending is one of the best breakdowns i have ever heard.
Heavener is such an amazing album, you guys deserve all the sucess in the world!
How they play with the colors and lights. Killer vibe!
"Nights quiet, with only one to witness the agony" - deep
Hits very deep with me this song I had to cry to today
And I live this
0:00-3:23: Impressive metalcore that just shows how talented the guys in IA truly are (and how they are unfairly underrated)
3:23-3:45: A melancholic moment of respite that slowly seeks to bring out the feels deep inside us.
3:45-4:06: The heavy build-up
4:07 onwards: one of the most beautifully gut-wrenching pieces of sonic art ever recorded by a metal band, one that makes us experience emotions we do not want to feel, but transport us to a place we want to last forever.
In short, IA may have dropped their magnum opus, and this song has all the traits to become a classic.
Absolutely spot on. The final stretch of the song brought me back to a very dark day personally but I have never experienced anything like it.
You mean the song is really good and you like it. Got it!
4:07 onward is not a breakdown, that's a cry-down. My immediate thought when I listened to Heavener for the first time and I still call it that.
One of the greatest albums of all time. Pushing prog and Metalcore forward
Heavener is a masterpiece 💙
I sometime feel bands work backward. Listen to Everchanger after this, you might actually hear the masterpiece. They made it already long ago.
@@CaptainFalcon92 I've heard Everchanger before. You have to stop thinking that everyone who likes the new records has never heard the old ones. This is pretty annoying.
invent has been one of my favorite bands since 2012 and I'm so fucking hyped to watch them blow up. this song fucks.
Thanks for getting me into them papi

I'll be cranking Heavener when i'm 2 sleeps off dying
i'll crank that soulja boy with ya bro. rock on!
YO! This turned out sick, thanks for having me on this!!

That would be AMAZING to see that lineup live
One of, if not the best track on the album. That opening riff is so nasty and the song has just so much atmosphere and heaviness.
Without a whisper right into this on the album was PERFECTION. two of my fav all time songs
Best track off the album, I'm glad it got a video for it. The riff from the chorus is absolutely irresistible.
my fav from this album, I love this band so much
This is hands down one of my favorite songs I have ever heard. Just absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Beautifully heavy beyond words and the lyrics are sublime.
You guys are the best metalcore band in the scene currently! Please, come to Brazil, we love u guys!
Is the kind of band that wakes up at 3 a.m., calls each other, gets together and works on that one little tiny thing they can't figure out .... and they LOVE it, that's why we love it 🤙
My favorite song on my favorite album in probably the last 5 or more years
Let's go my dudes!!! Can't wait to see y'all again whether in Pittsburgh or in my travels! Marcus killing it with this one too!!!
This album is next level!! Can't wait to see where they go!!
I FUCKING LOVE INVENT ANIMATE THIS IS THE BEST METALCORE BAND IN THE WORLD
I didn't get Invent Animate before. I get them now.
My favorite song from the album getting a music video? LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO.
Hey Brody finally shows up in a video! Welcome bro
Probably the best breakdown of 2023.
Not only do theta have the best music but they have top tier cinematography music videos. Everything they do is 💯
This album just hits different man, Marcus suits this genre so well its crazy. The chorus get you so emotional
My favorite off the album, this song is so beautiful and brutal at the same time. True emotion conveyed here. The video matches it perfectly
The song is a pure banger, hands down. But this video amazed me by the beauty of the actress.
Heavener is the album of the year. Nothing comes close.
It literally disgust me how underrated this song is
Your music is a revelation. I can't wait to see you again when you're in Detroit in October!
Heavener needs an award by the end of the year.
It will get an award.
Invent Animate nunca desaponta, mais uma excelente música, se não for a melhor do álbum!!
Falou tudo, companheiro.
@@Beni__ Tmj amigão!!
Love the mixing of this track. Great work of the sound guys
This band aged like fucking wine
Fuck yeah dude
God the guitar work in this is insane
Jawdropping production, this is one of my favourites, the whole bloody album in fact, AOTY❤️
Stellar work to Chris and the team with this film.
The ending breakdown + visuals made me cry (and I haven't felt emotional with this song before).
I appreciate the aesthetic choices such as color changes and blur element in front of the lens.
Only things which would've made it even better are 1) an alternate Marcus shot, and 2) more guitar shots as it is the main driving instrument, maybe a close-up during the technical parts.
album of the year, amazing song, and a breakdown that doesn't ruin the flow of the song which is fucking rare.
This album is literally flawless
Heavener is still my album of the year, fantastic track and great visuals to go with it
There's something so special about the Heavener that puts this album higher in my list, simply because it feels like a fantastic step-up for a Metalcore in general. This album feels so perfectly well immersed with Ambient and Shoegaze, but at the same time has the incredible guitar riffs that include Djent and Thall into one piece of art, some incredible and unusual choruses i've personally never heard before, like at all? and very interesting melodies...
The reason why the sound of this album is compared to so many different bands shows exactly that it's extremely wide in terms of a Metalcore sound. This is an amazing genre-defining album and i totally don't understand the people that consider this album the same and repititive, each song differs from each other but still remains in the main concept of the album with amazing transitions.
Also i don't get that overrated take where people go with "it sounds completely like Architects" and so on, even if there are some similarities between the bands(what i personally cannot hear at all lol), Heavener introduces so much unique and incredible stuff that makes it completely fresh and opens a secret path before unseen.
Not speaking of their previous albums and a particular song like "The Sun Sleeps" which is in my opinion one of the most unique metalcore songs ever.
The only bands that i can think of when it's coming to the similarities or the elements that i can connect to Heavener in terms of the sound, are: Lost in Separation(2018), Arkive(2017), early Northlane, last album of Silent Planet, early Holding Absence and a little of Thornhill in there, some part of Vildhjarta too, while IA still got their own emotional and impactful sound.
P.S - Heavener proves that Metalcore is not any way close to dying.
This song is literally therapy for my body and soul. Seriously thank you.

Relentless, heavy and unforgiving... I love it!
Such an incredible music video for such an incredible song. You guys nailed it, good job. AOTY 2023 and it is not even close.
Just discovered this band over the weekend, the whole heavener album is fire 🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿
Damnnn. Was totally not expecting this. So many layers on this song, its crazy good.
Probably best out to I’ve ever heard..
The ending is so good no words can even explain it
What a beautiful music video! The whole atmosphere reminded me of the legend of Zelda majoras mask. I discovered invent animate a few months ago through a friend recommendation and I haven’t stopped listening since. Keep up the good work fellas 🫶
this is the best this band has ever been, brody is a beast and a perfect fit, can't wait to have the opportunity to see you live
God damn this band never disappoints! The ambience, the heaviness, the drums, the crushing riffs, the vocals! Another masterpiece! 🔥
Congrats Brody the beast. Always making it look ez.
My fave song off the album has a music video??! 💜 keep up the good work. Your music has helped me so much lately!
This track is fire !
Great song and video! I loved that ambient+guitars mix
PLEASE, DROP THE DELUXE EDITION🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@103.5Heavenerwhere did you get this info?
i know its hard to imagine, but this song is even heavier live and its sooooo good
I used to tell myself “I was born in the wrong generation for music” and fuck was I so wrong. This past 3 years maybe 4-5 have been nothing but absolute fucking bangers. Thank you
brody the beast, trey in the guitars, beautiful as always, IA forever
I really need to stop sleeping on these guys. Amazing.
The best song of the year from the best album of the year. I love this band so much.
This band are a cut above their peers.
Heavener is easily top 3 Metalcore album of all time for me.
Favourite song in the album!
By far the most frequently heard song on the album. I had already thought that this one could do with a lot more attention. My goodness, it's all so heartbreaking and beautiful.
