Godtier album in every possible aspect!!❤ Love the cover art too - really cute spider😁!!🕷️ Disagree with the comments in which you are compared to Devin, Leprous, etc. You are you, with your own immediately recognizable, distinct vibe/style!! Of course there's a high possibility that Leprous or Devin's fans might love your music, but you are you and it's awesome!! I hope you'll get all the recognition you deserve, I, for my part, already introduced you to four people and got a glowing feedback, and will continue to do so - such quality music/band should be known ❤
Blown away by this epic album. Like cross between Devin Townsend & Orbit Culture. Now that would be an epic live show. Keep up the awesome work, and hopefully see in the UK at some point in time 😄🤘🤘
I don't think I've ever gotten this hooked into an album just from the first note, and it does not let go from there! I can tell this is one I'll have to listen to several times just to fully appreciate everything happening
Occasionally I browse metalstorm to find a new group to listen to. I saw the release of this album a few weeks ago, and one of the comments was, "This is like a mad marriage between Devin Townsend and Disillusion." Okay, so my interest is piqued. After listening to this album innumerable times, I can see why the comparison was brought up, but your sound is unique. I love this album so much. I can't even begin to tell you all the times I experience frisson throughout the album. I'm really, really looking forward to more from you guys. edit: three months later, still have this on repeat...
It's mind blowing that there's only 3.1K views on such a masterpiece of an album. The songwritting and production beyond amazing, definitely my top pick for 2023 so far!
I've been a metal head for most of my life and I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard! Usually even in good albums there's at least one skippable song but not this one. Just epic from front to back! I give it 5 years max before you guys blow up in the metal community. Keep up the great work guys! 🤘
Alkaloid dropped another masterpiece of an album that I have been waiting for five years and STILL this is what I've been listening to, repeatedly, ever since finding it through a random instagram ad. Album of the Year. I have ZERO doubt this will be looked back on as one of the best albums of the decade.
A few parts were a bit more theatrical(?), than I am used to listening to these days, but overall absolute beast of an album. Will definitely recommend and listen to it many more times. Edit: I know I said I liked it, but really this gets better and better as I listen to it!
Hihi, Romain did such a great job on writing that. It didn't make any sense to my personally until the finished version and now I love it. André (bass dude)
SPORE! Song of the decade for me, and I'm not even exaggerating. Maybe it's even song of the millennium, but I might be exaggerating now, I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you after a few more listens.
I can best describe it as the Leprous album that all Leprous metal fans hoped for years ago. Which is not to say that Leprous is not a good band. But they are no longer a metal act. It's a really great and epic album. I was blown away after the first listen. AOTY 2023 worthy.
Epic style and album, thanks to exceptionally catching parts like: 6:56 - 8:19, 33:02 - 33:29, 42:32 - 43:11, 1:02:42 - 1:04:00. Next album I expect more parts like these ones ;-)
Still probably my favorite album of the year so far. Reminds me of Panic at the Disco but Prog/Death Metal, you wouldn't think it would work at all but it absolutely does!
Prog Metal bores me, ive wanted to like it, all the ingredients are there, but somehow no. I even bought a Devin Townsend album to convince myself but again just no real response to it. THIS however is different, its so dynamic and gorgeous. Absolutely love it!
Digging this album greatly. Excellent work! ♫♪♫
Lyrics to all the songs here in these comments 😁:
Sunday Heat:
Sheltered by the void
Before chance, before fate
Before light and time became a cage
Before the house we built burned down
Before flesh, before matter and before shame
Sinking in
It feels so warm, so pure
Cherish this space
Build up the wall
Absorb the grace before you
Before God
Before Science
Before peace
Before war
Before life and before all we’re meant to be
Before hate
Before love
Love
The sun and the night watching over me, nurturing me
The sun and the night watching over me, strengthening me
Set me free
Set me free
Satellites:
All alone, stranded, I’m counting the years
Waiting for my ignorance never to end
At last the answers appeared in the sky
In the form of benevolent satellites standing by
Obsolete tranquility now soiled by whirring sounds
The advent of independence
Strings of theory giving motion to messengers from primal times
Violating the sheltering clouds
Cyclic nuptial swirl
Fathers of your world
Swaying, swaying
(Born again, paving the way
Born again, paving the way)
Grab the strings, learn the steps
We’ll lead the dance for you
(Time is nothing as long as it’s not being witnessed passing by
Cosmic laws bear their own conception of what justice is like
Monumental spreaders propagating passion and emotions
Downscaling entropy and chaos into our piteous lives)
Nothing will ever be the same, we’re alone now, together
My race, collective consciousness, but no friends, no God
Silent guardians
Loyal protectors
Distant tyrants
Absent oppressors
Time is nothing as long as it’s not being witnessed passing by
Cosmic laws bear their own conception of what justice is
Monumental spreaders propagating passion and emotions
Downscaling entropy and chaos into our piteous lives
Clear the womb
Surrender all that made you whole
Silent guardians
Loyal protectors
Distant tyrants
Absent oppressors
Play, play with me, play with me, play with me
Lay with me, lay with me, lay with me, lay with me
Eternally
Descending before our eyes
Carriers of our demise
Ancestral floating cathedrals
As they fall, I shall rise
Spore:
Your design was as sudden and pure as blooms of spring, unfaltering
Though our ending is as certain as the fall of leaves
I heard summers are getting longer
I should have known these venetian sceneries would stay with me, never leave me
But how in the world could I treasure this life sentence when death is but an open door
I failed, I went astray
I never meant to hurt you
How could I fail to see the beauty in all you wanted us to be
My selfish quest for security is leading me nowhere
Salvaging my own integrity, my own impermanence
To hell with chemistry, I’ll leave it all to chance
Barring up sensitivity
Putting up with the levity
Can’t you hear the words I can never seem to speak out loud
Gasoline slowly filling my lungs as I wave to the crowd
I was everything, everything you had dreamed of everything that you needed
I’ve abandoned you, abandoned what I had, abandoned what I was
We’re smart enough to read between the lines
And lost enough to believe what we find
And why would we find our way
When death is an open door ?
As I get to realize
We can achieve harmony, symbiosis
Every breath you take is new ground to start all over again, the five of us
Freight by the winds like spores stuck in a storm
Only time will tell where we’re headed
We may tremble on the way there but we’re carried by the same air
So we will be together anywhere
My selfish quest for security is coming to an end, I will transcend
Salvaging our integrity, our future permanence, unbalanced
To hell with chemistry, I’ll leave it all to chance
I’ll see no casualty, from chaos I commence
To hell with logic, to hell with empathy
I’ll sit back and laugh
Sit back and laugh
Blossoming under sun and rain
All the worry now seems vain
Though I’ll always feel ashamed
I’m just waiting for the end
Let’s drink to the breaking of our dams
Soon all of our threnodies will be drowned out by the sounds of the sea
Soon venetian sceneries will be all that we see
Soon all of our threnodies will be flushed out by the sea
Blossoming under sun and rain
All the worry now seems vain
Though I’ll always feel ashamed
I’m just waiting for the end
I'll be guided by the shape of your dreams
By the sound of your words, of your voice
Magnets:
Ravage my innocence and make me pay
Pay
Scanning my every weakness, locking eyes with my future
My path to be set in stone by forces beyond my control
At last we are sailing over the seas of granite, ambassadors of tar
Now take your leave, and let our lives unwind like clockwork
Let my life unwind
Open the gates
Paint us all grey
Open the gates
Help us mutate
Control is a souvenir
Kindness : debris of the man I used to be
Exposed for the world to see
Packed up for you to keep
Normalize, make the trouble your own
Mesmerize, let them know how you’ve grown
Patronize, let them sit by your throne
Normalize, it is all flesh and bone
Slaves, martyrs, preys, dying to fight for their right to be left alive
Slaves, martyrs, failures, dying to fight for their innocence
Magnets channeling my temper
Magnets dancing and swirling without aim
(Without aim) I’m half the man I could be
Blame the virus inside of me
Breaking my defences
Altering my senses
Fame will not be the remedy
Blame the virus inside of me
Blame the seed they planted in my rotting brain
Open the gates
Paint us all grey
Open the gates
Retaliate, asphyxiate, incinerate, eradicate
Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape
Show us the way
Paint us all grey
Grind
Show me the way
Grind all matter to dust
The Amensal Rise:
Fourteen years away, who am I to say
Fourteen miles a day, crawling through the maze
Basic intuition to suffer and make suffer
Communication by means of cremation
Time’s right for us to take our chances
Vile hearts and soiled minds
Once desperate to be seen
Now running from the light
And it’s finally time for me to take my chances
Frail heart, noble mind
I was once striving to be yours
Now begging to be mine
Past versions of myself staring me down
Mocking me for the mess I have made, for the mess I’vе become
Every word is armamеnt
Every gaze is violence
Breathless ascension brought down by abstract laws
Propelling me down, the ground won’t stop us
Burn the bodies down, burn the bodies down
Say his name and count to ten
Burn the parish down, burn them all alive
Wives and children, thieves and kings
Rise, rise
Put me to the test
Stand upon my chest
Rise, rise
Bury the waste
Bury the waste and wait
Fourteen steps away, source of my dismay
Fourteen times a day, keeping me at bay
Basic intuition to suffer and make suffer
Self-preservation by means of sedation
There’s nothing to steal and there’s no-one to save
No mouth to feed and no hand to take
Now there’s nothing to hear but chimes, there’s nobody near
Blind there’s nothing to see you’re blind, there’s nothing to fear
Distant tongues berating me in dialects I don’t understand
How long has it been dark outside ?
I thought it would be over within a year
Bury the waste, bury the waste
Frail heart and noble mind : The defects in my design
Put me to the test, stand upon my chest
Colors turn to numbers, my truth now concealed in the ground
At last I get to take my chances and become one of them
Shedding loneliness by remaining alone
Spending my days burying the waste
Came here from metalstorm also, amazing album guys, thank you for this music!
Godtier album in every possible aspect!!❤
Love the cover art too - really cute spider😁!!🕷️
Disagree with the comments in which you are compared to Devin, Leprous, etc. You are you, with your own immediately recognizable, distinct vibe/style!! Of course there's a high possibility that Leprous or Devin's fans might love your music, but you are you and it's awesome!!
I hope you'll get all the recognition you deserve, I, for my part, already introduced you to four people and got a glowing feedback, and will continue to do so - such quality music/band should be known ❤
Best proggy death metal I've heard in a while. Gives me BTBAM, Native Construct vibes
Love the horror movies vibe in this album
Blown away by this epic album. Like cross between Devin Townsend & Orbit Culture. Now that would be an epic live show. Keep up the awesome work, and hopefully see in the UK at some point in time 😄🤘🤘
I don't think I've ever gotten this hooked into an album just from the first note, and it does not let go from there! I can tell this is one I'll have to listen to several times just to fully appreciate everything happening

edit: three months later, still have this on repeat...
It's giving Devin Townsend and I love it.
Criminally underrated, top tier work right here.
Album of the year.
This album must've been created using some sort of magic, because i'm thoroughly enchanted here. Damn! Best i've heard in a long time!
It's mind blowing that there's only 3.1K views on such a masterpiece of an album. The songwritting and production beyond amazing, definitely my top pick for 2023 so far!
WOW ! So good. Get it in the hands of the big metal reaction youtube channels to help spread it. Deserves to explode.
I've been a metal head for most of my life and I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard! Usually even in good albums there's at least one skippable song but not this one. Just epic from front to back! I give it 5 years max before you guys blow up in the metal community. Keep up the great work guys! 🤘
Fingers crossed !! We would love to bring this live to as many cool stages as possible.
André
Thank you so much, we truly appreciate that!
Alkaloid dropped another masterpiece of an album that I have been waiting for five years and STILL this is what I've been listening to, repeatedly, ever since finding it through a random instagram ad.
Album of the Year. I have ZERO doubt this will be looked back on as one of the best albums of the decade.
Some of the vocals on this album could legitimately open a black hole. Top stuff lads!
This scratches many itches.
please remember to stop when it starts bleeding
Collab when
This will be on my car stereo and all my musical devices for a good long time.... masterful writing, beautiful album....
Oh yeah, thanks for that comment ! :)
My CD is stuck in my disc changer in my dash in my broken-down vehicle... I'm about to dismantle and gut the whole dash lol
TH-cam recommended! You guys have a new fan!!
Thanks for checking us out, glad to have you on board!
sinceramente album do ano até agora.
A few parts were a bit more theatrical(?), than I am used to listening to these days, but overall absolute beast of an album. Will definitely recommend and listen to it many more times.
Edit: I know I said I liked it, but really this gets better and better as I listen to it!
This album is so dope! It was just what I expected-- yet more than what I expected, if that makes any sense. Beautiful work, guys! ♥
Absolutely gorgeous. A lot of the more complex albums out there don't have a creative core, but you guys have that beating heart in your music.
Until the cover alien monster rips it out. Thank you !
Wicked sound. So unique.
Wow, this was chaotic and really sick. Well done guys!
Also holy shit the finale of The Commensal Fall was absolutely apeshit LMAO
Hihi, Romain did such a great job on writing that. It didn't make any sense to my personally until the finished version and now I love it.
André (bass dude)
SPORE! Song of the decade for me, and I'm not even exaggerating. Maybe it's even song of the millennium, but I might be exaggerating now, I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you after a few more listens.
Spore is fantastic, but I'm equally hooked onto Satellites and the title track
This record and the new ...and Oceans are the two best records of 2023 so far.
I expected something chill from the artwork. I was not ready for this, but I'm staying!
I can best describe it as the Leprous album that all Leprous metal fans hoped for years ago. Which is not to say that Leprous is not a good band. But they are no longer a metal act. It's a really great and epic album. I was blown away after the first listen. AOTY 2023 worthy.
My friend Scott guitarist in Cyclops Cataract recommended this. Excellent 21st Century Metal!!! Everything pales next to 1965-67 John Coltrane though…
such a sick release!
10 thumbs up!
WOW! 😍😍
Epic style and album, thanks to exceptionally catching parts like: 6:56 - 8:19, 33:02 - 33:29, 42:32 - 43:11, 1:02:42 - 1:04:00. Next album I expect more parts like these ones ;-)
Still probably my favorite album of the year so far. Reminds me of Panic at the Disco but Prog/Death Metal, you wouldn't think it would work at all but it absolutely does!
Satisfying
I hope everyone remembers to give this a thumbs up! ♥
One word: dayum
Thanks buddy ! Please send it forward to some friends, the only way this type of music can be heard more ;).
AOTY contender
2nd this
0:09 The sound before all hell breaks loose sounds like stepping on grass in Minecraft
Fuck yeah this is mean as
Thanks ! Send it to a couple friends if you don't mind :)
This is an excellent album and all, but I'm just trying to enjoy a relaxing hot air balloon ride with my wife over here.
Damn spiders ruining romantic moments since ever
*POP* Oh oooo....
This has Devin Townsend written all over it...FA&FO!!! Hehe
transitions so good im a different gender
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Will there be a cd version of the album?
Absolutely! CDs will be made available on release day.
yes !
How about Vinyl? You'd be surprised how vinyl throughout all these years has done nothing but increase in sales.
the spider needs a name
I like to think of him as Freddy.
Prog Metal bores me, ive wanted to like it, all the ingredients are there, but somehow no. I even bought a Devin Townsend album to convince myself but again just no real response to it. THIS however is different, its so dynamic and gorgeous. Absolutely love it!
Which DT album was it?
im confused
So are we, tbh
@@Omnerod
music that confuses me is ultimately good music
