Damn amazing job you did there Plini in Sailing Stone!!
plini i love you
Plini is awesome!
You think you might work with anyone from Chon eventually?
Plini BEEZARO I LUUUUV YEEEEUUU
It’s 2022 and this project is still on of the best lineups ever….
2023 and still checks out
Truly the most melodic prog metal I've heard
2024 baybeeeeee
Fuck yes@@nomadicstrength
Listen to that fucking polyrhythm at 15:15 - 6 bars of 4/4 with the hi-hat keeping a steady group of 4, the ride playing in groups of 3, the bass playing in groups of 5 (corresponding with the fifths on the rhythm guitar), and the snare playing in groups of 7 (corresponding with the minor seconds). it would take 35 bars for the 5 + 7 polyrhythm to cycle uninterrupted so it gets cut short after 6 bars (hence the jagged sound). A polyrhythm of 3, 4, 5 and 7 is super brave though, I get off on this shit. PR0GreZZivE!
Someone has the tab. lol
If I don't like it who will
Joe Spears Progressive musicians do.
I think i shit my pants with laughter.
You win at youtube comments.
2056 and it s still one of the best instrumental albums i ve ever heard. Not only technical skills are on another level, but rythm, note choice, composition... Everything is perfect here
Still listening in 2021. Never too late to make another album!
Congrats on 1 million views!!
I fucking can't stop listening to this BAND!!!!!!!!!!! Damn you guys are fucking good. PLEASE come to Saint Louis some day. I will bring the masses. You will thank me... ;)
Hopefully one day buddy! Just keep spreading the word! - J
deal
thehelixnebulashred Add Quebec City and/or Montreal to your list. That's a sure success
Barry Peraino Or come right on over to Kansas City MO
+Barry Peraino Or! You can just come over to Argentina :D
Great music!
7 years later and this is still one of the best albums I've ever heard
Vitalism - Causa
This and Causa are two of the greatest albums ever made
How many if these views are just the same 1000 people listening to this album over and over again like me?
same
Luke Bauer it's my first time. Just subscribed Finally! I find that there is still talent in this world. LOVE IT!
Shawnda S. listen to gru cosmogenesis. It will absolutely blow your mind.
yep
Yo
Wooooo
O I get it, everyone writes on plinis comment but not sithu aye....shame on you all lol
if sithu aye and plini had a baby, its first words would melt our faces
I was listening to Plini when suddenly the automatic youtube reproduction did it's miracle
+Ignacio C same here XD
+Ignacio C
you said it in a funny way, you made me laugh :D
+Ignacio C Lol, 2 months later it happens again.
+Ignacio C I heard this and i was like Plini is really going all out. Where is this rage coming from?
Clicked tab and saw Meridian in the title and i was like oh! Meridian! lol
+Ignacio C Plini brought me here also
it's almost 2024, and this is still the best instrumental EP to ever exist.
This is so nutritious, I've skipped my meals today.
I only eat this album. I am helixitarian.
Intermittent fasting with Djent... Sounds good to me.
This is not good. You need to eat real food. Are you still alive?
@@daynablackwell5885 It was a joke.
Holy shit.I just wanted a break from death metal and i found this masterpiece.Really bands such as Plini,scale the summit, persefone, animals as leaders and the helix nebula are out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are more
Don't forget for giants
i guess im half a decade behind.
this is great.
Right lmfao i was always the last one to the party😂
At least you found it. :)
The struggle is real!
Am a big Plini / Simon fan. Hadn't heard this before, fucking mind blowing.
@@MoarRushPl0x good point :D
THIS IS F*CKIN' AWSOME. WE WANT ANOTHER ALBUM. PLEASE.
No idea how on earth you guys compose this. After a hundred playthroughs, it still keeps getting better on every single listen.
To this day I'm looking for pieces of my shattered and blown mind.
What a lucky click.
Crystal Plains is an exceptional piece of music
My face melts and I forget all of my troubles ***every*** time I listen to this. DREAM BILLING / TOUR: Meridian, Tesseract, Plini, The Contortionist, Haken, and Twelve Foot Ninja. PLEASE, GOD. Make it come true...
I listen to this, literally, everyday
This needs to go on Spotify ASAP, guys
Hey man, it's on there under "helix Nebula" we're trying to get it fixed!
+thehelixnebulashred hey! Yeah, for some reason I couldn't find it on desktop, but I later searched for it on mobile Spotify and found it no prob!
Richard Mock nhk pic > respects.
@@thehelixnebulashred Y'all should post n pin a comment saying that it's on spotify
people saying this sounds like a million other bands... a million other bands fucking wish they could sound like this. in terms of aesthetic, ofc a bunch of bands sound like this. but in terms of excecution these guys are on top.
Yeah, they really delivered. A lot of times these bands are just guitar wankery stitched together, but these guys have great (and memorable) melody and riff writing, the compositions are nice with a great amount of repetition to give each song a theme and helps to keep familiarity. The production is great, the mix sits well. The only complaint I have is that the album as a whole can feel a bit derivitive at times.
Man, that solo that rips through at the beginning of Sea of Suns (0:47) sounds fucking amazing! Sounds like it could cut through anything, yet it's also really smooth. Mixed to perfection.
Jesus Christ! playing Destiny while listening to THIS is freaking mind-blowing!
I found this album around the time my mother passed. You guys have no idea what this album means to me. To me each note memorializes a moment in time. Each song is an emotion of mine. Your art has the meaning that you made it with. And it has the meaning that my heart feels when it's played.
Thank you for this incredible masterpiece and I hope that you read my comment and know how much your music means to me.
Damn where has this been hiding!! Absolutely in love!!
+Dickeyfighter7861 Dayum dude! Didnt know this type of jam tickled ya fancy! Love your stuff dude, really inspires me as a vocalist
you too? wow, I am most impressed! I love your vocals haha
+Dickeyfighter7861 I think it's got point below zero's guitarist in it.
Hell yeah!! I've been super into prog and instrumental the past couple months! Absolutely love it!
+Dickeyfighter7861 respect.
Yeah, Simon, look. Please live the rest of your life knowing you made one of the greatest albums of all time. Everyone involved in this project should be extremely proud even after all these years.
I know right, how the hell did they do it? Out of all the Intervals-style/Plini-style/etc albums that came out, you know, of this specific kind instrumental prog rock/metal that peaked around the mid 2010s, nothing beats this.
I just came here to say we need another album of this.
i love how at 3:22 the band's just like "hey everyone ... we're djent!" for 10 seconds
Hey guys, I love this kind of music. Thanks Plini for showing me, from a musician to another. This is insanely good
This a serious musical work, by any standard.
This album makes me want to sit on the end of a cliff overlooking the ocean with a joint and forget the world exists
Fucking right
I'm only 11 minutes in and I don't even have to listen to the rest of this to make this comment, this is some next level shredding. I think when this EP ends, I'm going to have to listen to it again. And then probably another time. Fuck this is so fucking funky.
Congratulations on 1 million views on this exhilarating EP !
These dudes need to come back!

Congrats, you paste and copied the description! ;D
Bruh, I made my comment the day this video came out. It took them about 2-3 weeks until they finally updated the description to feature the track listing/times.
Didn't know that! Well done sir!
Liking mostly because of your name XD
My name? Whats so funny about it? ^^
OMG it's already 2022 and I've just discovered this gem, killer EP
i love how its really breakdown-y, but super musical and crazy ass weird rhythm
this Album was so refreshing to me my god. I found them just in time because I was getting really tired of the brutal metal screaming, clean parts, techno interludes formula with a hint of progressive that alot of djent bands are doing right now, like ERRA, Periphery, and Born of Osiris. and I'm definitely over anything core like breakdowns, constant chugging, and in your face double-bass like Breakdown of Sanity.
This was like a breath of fresh air, no screaming no brutalness, just insanely beautiful progressive creative music that feels intense without trying so damn hard and screaming into my ear the whole time. everytime I listen to a new band that screams super hard, then cue the clean vocals, then a techno interlude starts, i just sigh and roll my eyes like ugh I've heard this a hundred thousand times. but I love this fucking band its so mature and technically proficient yet beautiful and mesmerizing. 10/10
Khurram Liaqat ha thanks for the tip my friend. I've known about them for a while, because every other comment on a progressive djenty instrumental metal band mentions sithu aye at some point so its hard to miss. but ill admit I haven't given them much of a chance, im just getting into this style, I'll check them out for real even though I've heard them and known about them, thanks brother.
sarin royce Make sure to check Polyphia's album Muse and Sergey Golovin's Changes. You won't regret it.
Sithu Aye, Plini, Polyphia, Chon, Animals as Leaders, Wide Eyes especially. There's a lot of good instrumental prog out there
damulac1 i've heard all those bands you just mentioned. they are all pretty much a staple of the genre of instrumental prog metal. not complaining though but most of them did not interest me all that much.
sarin royce I would suggest you David Maxim Micic and his last album, Bilo 3.0 and the one before, Bilo 2.0. Some tracks are vocal, others aren't. His works are mostly prog and clearly has jazz influences in them (he studied musical composition at Berkeley University). Very refreshing for the thirsty ear!
The fade in @3:06 is the greatest thing i've ever heard
This is musical enlightenment!
Just discovered.
Realized that this is fucking wonderful after only 30 seconds.
More precisely this is EXACTLY the kind of stuff I was looking for these days ^^'
I'm so happy with the direction that djent is taking, with so many awesome progressive bands coming out here and there.
Feels like we're back to the sixites but with the nowadays sounds.
This is highly progressively djently, incredibly and awesomely insane!
Kudos on the members for such passion with the song.
Show those dudes in polyphia how you put feeling in a song!
hah Are you bashing on Polyphia?
Lumarious B He's accusing Polyphia of not knowing how to "put feeling in a song" afaik. If you consider that "bashing" them then your question probably didn't warrant asking. Hashtag just saying.
Polyphia is great.
@@luker.6967 Great at writing the same song over and over lol. They're absolutely amazing musicians, but not great songwriters in my opinion.
@@BunsenMusic the fuck is the difference?
Recently heard of these guys and I'm so hooked. Plini and Sithu Aye brought me here.
Love this new type of prog music where it's not completely dependent on 7-8 string guitars.
The best 27:50 minutes (x15) on my youtube playlist! Please, some of us wanna hear more of your awesome art, so where's the next EP?
permanence
This shit bumps so hard. Fuck yeah those melodies
every few seconds a new spurt of laughter bursts forth from me just due to sheer amazement.... Kids younger then me wee self are playing this... This tumultuous, deliquesced symphony that just disintegrates into so many individual, microcosmic level, pieces that just sail so superfluously yet essential to the groove... just everything all the time is turnt the fuck up EPICALLY ALL THE TIME.
I talked to a guy at guitar center who knew who this band was. It blew my mind.
Walking among giants here. This is up there with AAL self titled for best heavy instrumental album ever.
Yeah, 1 month after you wrote this I'm finding this band. Wow, love it !
Loving every second of this.
Most satisfying bend in all music ever at 26:50
What the hell is this epicness? I'm glad I randomly clicked this.... holy shit
one of the best instrumental bands out there
I must say fantastic bass playing! Awsome EP!
The future of metal.
That bass solo @ 4:17 is one of the best things I've ever heard.
This EP is beautiful guys. Been waiting a long time for this one.
Insane musicianship
I'd like to thank someone in the comments section of a Scale the Summit video for giving me the name of this band. Beautiful
every single detail, every detail on the pocket, every fill you hear, every vibe on this, the vision you have i can bring out. i turn music like this into my woven web.
Thankyou THN so much for making such amazing creative music, I keep listening to this over and over again, its truly inspiring. all of you have a very bright future ahead of you!!!
The last song is the best.
The ultimate sleepier album! these guys should have won so many awards for this effort. Its one of the great bummers in life the music industry is so lame and only worries about sales and money. Love this band hope they put out another album
Just want to thank The Helix Nebula for not including vocals. If you ever find you need to go that direction for whatever reason, please always include an instrumental version. You know, I look at the hits for Plini, Sithu Aye, etc. and still can't beleive that out of the whole of the world, I'm one of the very first and one of a very few humans to get to experience this mind blowing brilliance. Talk about being on the bleeding edge. 303,860 out of 7.125 Billion people.
" Sailing Stone" seals it for me . amazing !
Wow. I'm left speechless. I didn't really get in to the instrumental world until very recently, but this is absolutely incredible. Thank you TH-cam for suggesting this to me off of the TesseracT stream of Polaris.
I'm here from a comment on a Scale the Summit song. If you haven't already heard them, you should really check them out.
I've been searching for new music recently and am so glad that I stumbled upon you guys. you are truly doing amazing things with your music and I most sincerely cannot wait to hear more from you.
my fingers cramp just listening to this...
Animals as leaders were one of my favorite bands. Then I heard this...
That's interesting. This is definitely great, but this band's style is a little more capitulate to the newer metal norms and traditional like harmonies. AAL is super out-of-the-box. I guess I get a little more uppity charge from this music, but I think AAL is way heavier.
I hear what you're saying for sure, but I think the two bands can coexist peacefully. They both fit different moods really well. Both are also phenomenal as well.
vitalism
Whaaa. This is like a dumbed down, generic off-brand cousin of AAL. Sounds like a million other bands. AAL is easily distinguishable from other bands. Interesting,.
@@BunsenMusic yo dude i needed an exapmple of a gatekeeper and you hit the nail on the head exquisitely.
Still one of my favorite things ever
A.I. doing it's work... thank you TH-cam, thank you Meridian!!
Let us know if you come anywhere near Chile, maybe we can arrange something ;)
This album is so great, hearing in loop, thank you for that guys.
This EP is beyond SICK. Excellent work to "The Helix Nebula"
I want to thank youtube for putting those suggestions over there on the right. Sure, sometimes they're a little weird but often they lead to amazing discoveries. I started the day looking to see what Tony Levin had done outside of King Crimson and that led me to Liquid Tension Experiment. Then the right hand column led me to Animals as Leaders and then on to The Helix Nebula. So I didn't get any chores done on this Saturday but I discovered three great bands. I have a feeling the chores aren't going to get done tomorrow either.
Instantly in love with this.
I love the way this feels
that vibe at 20:40 isfucking SICKENIING. learned alot of this album note for fucking note baby cant wait to show the homies over at the side project helix. fucking love this album
Fuck my neurons this is some fresh shit.
Fantastic! Looking forward to future releases.
This is amazing!!!
Amazing EP! Really would dig some tabs, just saying would happily even purchase a tab book for this EP....
Tab book is coming :)
did the book ever come? lol
yeah, I bought it a couple of years ago, probably just google
My fingers would fall off and my brain would explode if I attempted to play this!
@@aqueenchi117 sheet happenings
there is still nothing in the instrumental prog world that can keep up with this album
well..except Exivious(sorry Helix....)
Animals As Leaders surpasses this.
AAL doesnt resemble the same style as helix does/ AAL is more rhythmic and..mechanical, i love them and love seeing them live but to me its just to mechanical.
Lorenzo Rizzardi It doesn't matter if it's the same style. If we are simply talking instrumental prog then AAL wins in terms of musical quality.
Luke R. Im just saying they are not the same thing. AAL is more Rhythmic but Helix is similar to Plini with the melodic content, just more substance rather then math.
I can't wait for your next work. I've listened to this EP one too many times
Good job on Your EP. I've been following you for a while on youtube, glad to see it finaly come out !
This is like if Polyphia weren't so damn happy all the time.
***** yess
***** If they could write in anything other than the Lydian mode haha
***** You mean this is like if Polyphia knew how to write good music.
LatissimusDorsiLoL Shots fired lol
TheMegaArcade Regurgitated Rick Graham/Guthrie Govan 100 Licks Library is how I call it
Astraeus, The Helix Nebula, there's a new Anup Sastry to come... Nice way to end the year. And the starting was not bad with AAL and Intervals. Nice prog' year :D
Don't forget The Contortionist... It's bound to be the best release of the year.
I will listen to it :)
The Flesh Prevails already took the album of the year spot.
Yeah, too much albums of the year ! ;)
...and then Disperse in early 2015 ;)
You guys are so good!!! Please keep doing your thing!
such an incredible piece of art. you guys are amazing
NEED MORE PLS GUYS
2019 and I just now heard this. Why?
7.55 gives me chills every time GODDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM
This music is incredible! Love it.
among this wave progressive bands that sound almost identical i found something somewhat more interesting in you guys. here's a wholehearted upvote and i'll be on the lookout
25:45 and on is just the quintessence of life.
Yes
Cool stuff guys ,really enjoy it .
Amazing! Buying as soon the paycheck comes in. Been waiting for this one. You guys are absolutely unstoppable.
This reminds me a lot of the Terraforming album by Wide Eyes.
I love wide eyes
i love wide eyes
i wide love eyes
But better
Wide eyes is what got me interested in this sort of thing
how can humans even do this
these a`rent humans there highly advanced beings from a higher mystical world billions of light years far from ours explains why there music titles are things called crystal plans sea of suns a sailing stone they are demtional gods from places where the 3 suns shine high and the marble glowing moon watches over.
Tosin Abasi is twice what this guy is spewing
Jon Ramen ohh yeah definitly ,when tosin plays dude ull never keep up, with the speed keys to the beats that arent always in rythm. youll never know what tosins gonna do next ut he great
Tosin Abasi is maybe one and two tenths what this guy is spewing.
an evidence that alien is real
Immediately bought off Bandcamp. This EP is absolutely incredible. I'm so glad Plini posted Sea of Suns on his facebook.
Amazing just amazing
