I love introducing people to this band and I normally tell them they are metal af and send them this, then I send them "drip" and tell them the 2 songs are back to back on the same album lol.
Every song from these last two albums just gives me the most insane goosebumps. I feel like I’m vibrating all over, while floating in a bubble, completely detached from reality
It's essentially the same song, isn't it? (which is no bad thing, because I'd struggle to think of a better song from the past ten years than A Flood of Light, so am quite happy to listen to variations on it)
This song has *haunted* me the past two days. It's been about the only song I've played. It's just wormed its way into my soul. Absolutely lovely. The fact that they can turn on a dime and just make glorious metal noise as well stuns me. Very late to this party but glad I showed up.
From intensely dark and heavy on Drip to... the exact opposite. Absolutely phenomenal song! Time Will Die was my AOTY when it came out and I can't wait for the next one.
There is no words to describe how much love you put in your music. Happy to feel it. So emotional, so deep, so beautiful, so sad. I’m waiting for a new emo wave and you are inspiration for other musicians
Lyrics: Where to begin? How to fathom this? An endless beautiful symmetry Designed to fail, sweet catastrophe Once lost in the glow Now I’m the devil you don’t know What’s left to lose? All I want is you Your patience removed But all I want is you Naive to assume Yet all I want is you As language concludes The only way out is through And all I want is you What’s left to prove? Once lost in the glow Now I'm the devil you don't know
A lot of generic mathcore bands make music for self-indulgent purposes without much direction on how to evolve the sound into something more dynamic/emotional. Don't get me wrong I love mathcore or adjacent bands, but Rolo Tomassi definitely took more of a Deftones-esque approach to crafting albums. This band doesn't make just "heavy metal" music; they make emotionally "heavy" metal music. They've managed to somewhat distance themselves from mathcore into really their own category of 1 (example - Deftones vs. generic Nu Metal of the late 90s). On just about every album they manage to retain familiar sounds/tones/production/song-writing techniques from previous records while simultaneously bringing in new influences -- example being the Nils Frahm/Olafur Arnalds/A Winged Victory for the Sullen influence on this track. Either way this band is such an awesome case study on how to unapologetically brand your own unique style of music
This song an Aftermath are both very dear to me. Love these songs for room they give to the melody to grow. And the structure in their chaotic parts. These songs make me breath. Perfect for a late night on your balcony.breathing in the early autumn air.
I thought I'd found my new favourite band last year in the form of Spiritbox and although they're fantastic and very lovable, Rolo Tomassi are something else❤️!I know they'd been around a lot and all but this is my first experience of their talents and I am in a true awe for their unmatchable skills❤️!Rolo Tomassi all the way❤️❤️❤️!!!
the calm before the storm

This was my wedding song. No better could be found
awesome!

so this music makes you fall into psychosis? lol
I will always love that this band will have some beautiful moments and then on another track shift to utter destruction
This is the kind of Mew song we stopped getting and I’m so glad we have this.
Yes!
This sounds like a motif from A Flood of Light.. simply gorgeous song.

A lot of mathcore band have disbanded but they have continued and evolved. Truly inspiring.
You guys are so beautiful and really helping me through a difficult time right now, thank you.
Force, my brother!!!
Stay strong!!!
Good luck!!!
You're not alone!Don't give up!Thank God for Rolo Tomassi ❤️🙏!Stay healthy!!!
this is my favorite kind of thing to stumble upon

It’s like hearing illuminare for the first time. Can’t wait for Feb 4

I’m late to the party, but glad I found my way here. I love your music!
I'm a day later to the party :D but better late than never.
Digging this band already.
On deployment and every new song has gotten me through it. Thank you.
I need to hear this whole album yesterday.
That's it, I'm ordering the vinyl RIGHT NOW!
Damn right & order a triple cheeseburger & fries as well.
I discovered this on a rainy drive back from a sad and unforgiving situation , now it's much better. Great song.
The only way out is through...and all I want is you. Absolutely gorgeous.
I m so excited for this album

Their old stuff are amazing and This is even more perfect ❤️
Ah hell yeah
Lyrics:
Where to begin?
How to fathom this?
An endless beautiful symmetry
Designed to fail, sweet catastrophe
Once lost in the glow
Now I’m the devil you don’t know
What’s left to lose?
All I want is you
Your patience removed
But all I want is you
Naive to assume
Yet all I want is you
As language concludes
The only way out is through
And all I want is you
What’s left to prove?
Once lost in the glow
Now I'm the devil you don't know
This song gets better every time I listen to it.
God I love this band!
perfect
Trust Rolo Tomassi to make a simple four chord progression song technical with the 11 notes over 8 beats pattern. 💪
Lovely song. Can’t wait for the album!
been waiting all day for this to drop, lets gooo!
That snare, though

Deftones are my favorite band so I appreciate this reference

@@eric_stewart They did a cover of digital bath.
I'm the carpenter that built the set for this.
What a brilliant song and video. 👏👏👏

Added this to my Best of 2022 Playlist (Jan - June). Great work! Congrats to all involved. Very cool stuff.
Stellar entry to an already phenomenal catalog of brilliance.
Its 12:09am and yes there is time to play it again...
This band can do no wrong!
Superb and astonishing!!!

Man, you folks are beautiful

Wow just wow
Fantastic song from a fantastic band. Her beautiful clean vocals combined with the atmospheric music reminds me of Asobi Seksu
I knew you in Bandcamp years ago!, but I just realized you have a TH-cam channel and a new album!
Suscribed, for sure. Greetings from Argentina!
My god, this is fantastic. This is what I've been waiting for. As much as I love the heavier tunes these are the ones that sell me.
Astonishing...just amazing.
when the entire thing dropped with distorted guitars, the goosebumps kicked in. enchanting.
Class.
Was searching for the red pill author Rollo Tomasi and found this video, very good, a pretty precious discovery.
beautiful.

One of my favorite songs ever.
Mantra!!!
beautiful
been a fan from the beginning and while this is def on the calmer side of what you do, i still love it and it sounds like rolo tomassi
I needed this, all of it.
Kristin wigg killed this song. In all seriousness they should let James sing more. Absolutely stunning song.
Excelente banda
They seem to get better with each new album ! The first two singles are amazing and really encapsulate the musical diversity of their compositions
The versatility! 🙌
I thought I'd found my new favourite band last year in the form of Spiritbox and although they're fantastic and very lovable, Rolo Tomassi are something else❤️!I know they'd been around a lot and all but this is my first experience of their talents and I am in a true awe for their unmatchable skills❤️!Rolo Tomassi all the way❤️❤️❤️!!!
Check out Entheos too man 🤘 the singer is incredibly talented.
so stoked they're touring near me soon
