Without any exaggeration or hyperbolic sentence, this is the most incredible thing I've listened to in 20 years of love and dedication to metal music.
You are incredibly kind! We spent a long time making this album, so we're very glad it's being appreciated!
Opus made me dance, feel emotional, laugh out loud (earwyrm is the culprit) and, generally speaking, surpised me an indefinite amount of times. I am sharing it as much as possible, even though I don't personally know many people into prog music: I almost missed this release, even though I dedicate all my free time to browsing for new music (and playing drums), what a shame it would have been. Music can be many thing, but in this case it's a testament to human creativity.
Yeah, it's really nice!
You are the Great band!
Are any plans to issue this album ON VINYL?
If Yes, when?
👍
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT HOLY HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a fan of progressive metal (Symphony X, Dream theater, Vanden Plas, etc...) I can say Nospūn did an exceptional job! What a good creativity! Go on guys!
We love all of those groups, so that's a huge compliment! Thank you!
Thank you TH-cam algorithm. Sometimes I really like you! Amazing music here guys!
I don’t care “who it sounds like”. To me, it’s just what I need in my music. Yes I’m a huge Haken fan (and others) but now I’m a Nospun fan too. Catch my drift?
It’s fantastic.
Not often but sometimes the Spotify algorithm hits the bull's eye and serves me new music right up my alley. This album is an instant contender to the album of the year. Prog-metal with lots of creativity, good melodies, great musicianship and fantastic vocals! As I am getting older I am sadly not blown away by new music as often as before. So this album lifted my sprits. I can still be blown away by new music, it just has to be really good :)
Well said. I'm in the same boat, as I'm getting older I find it harder and harder to get excited by something new so it's refreshing when something comes along that captures my attention. Well done NoSpun!
This is nothing short of incredible. I'm floored! The songwriting shines through the progressive madness brightly, and the production is immaculate. I can't stop listening on repeat, and I can't wait for more!
We self produced, so we're happy to hear you like the sound! Don't you worry 'bout a thing, we're already working on more 👍🏻
What a band ! What an Opus ! I'm absolutly FAN ! I hear this album every day since may 2023 ! Masterpiece for life ! Love you guys !
I have no idea how you all did it but over all the years I've been passionate about music this has very quickly skyrocketed to my favorite album of all time. Can't wait to hear more from you guys.
The Death of Simpson is such a great song
Thank you!
@@nospun_official Ah, you wrote the song ;-)
not just a copy from the past or a computer throwing up
this is new REAL music and it's awesome!
Glad you like it!
As an amateur singer, I have to command Phil's singing on this debut! The range of clean vocals is already pretty cool, but the expresiveness you can wring out of those vocal cords is awesome! Love the range of emotions on display here.
Best prog record I've heard in what must be years. Some of the melodies are unreal here, no track is underwhelming or feels out of place which is insane for a 70 min album. Been playing it on repeat for the better part of two weeks now. You know prime Haken, Wilderun, Symphony X? This is up there, right off the bat. Please make another one!
This was an absolute pleasure to listen to
Thanks so much!
Das fetzt! Danke an die Hersteller und Gruß aus dem Thüringer Wald.
This is the best debut I’ve heard since Native Construct. You can really hear the DT, Haken, SX, Pink Floyd, etc. influences, but you do such a great job of making them into your own sound. Amazing work. I’ve had this on repeat for weeks and can’t wait to see where you guys go!
SX = Symphony X?
Native Construct debut is AWESOME, so bad they quit.
Opus is the best concept album to come out since Quiet World
I can't believe that this is a debut album! The amazing musicianship and songwriting are beyond that of any number of veteran bands. I haven't been this impressed by a new band in quite a few years. I can't wait to hear what's next from these guys.
Someone suggested this as a fan of Haken, and while I was a little sceptical (comparing a band to Haken is a big thing in my mind) but wow, I was blown away by this album! The comparison to Haken is apt (heck the last track on here could be part of the 22 minute long masterpiece that is the song Visions) but at the same time, there is definitely a unique and fresh sound here. It will take many MANY listens to truly appreciate this, I feel...
I'm literally on my first listen as I type this and I'm already so into it, so excited to hear the last track after reading this!
The outro solo in "and then there was one" is very Petrucciesque. This album is fantastic, keep up the great work!
I hope this takes you all far in your endeavors as it is incredible. I can hear the players behind the notes. Absolutely applaud! \m/
The players appreciate your kind words!
Pain of salvation vibes!. So im here for the ride! Love it!
Wow... I'm always searching Reddit for good prog-metal recommendations and found this... I'm mesmerized... This is going to be on repeat for a long time. What a debut, holy shit!
Holly Molly !!!!
Asi nejlepší progresivní kapela co jsem kdy slyšel. Asi jsem už úplně vymlácenej, ale slyším tam i stylistiku Kocába, Pavlíčka, Bárty... Prostě mně to plně uspokojuje. 🤤
It's like Dream Theater, Periphery, The Contortionist and Meshuggah came together to summon this masterpiece. I absolutely love your sound!!!!!!
omg, this is insane
This album give me a "SFAM" HYPE. WELL DONE!!!
God DAMN this is some good stuff. I am so hooked after one listen. Consider me a huge fan already. I can not put into words how damn amazing this stuff is.
The vocals are absolutely fantastic.
Easily my favorite album in the past year, and one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. Can't wait for your next album!
Nice Surprise! Great álbum guys!
My favourite album of the year, so far. Also one of the best debuts I've ever listened. Prog metal at its finest!
It's fucking incredible!
42k views! be proud of this album. It was such a refreshing listen and its only going up from here
As I am an old prog listener from the 70"s you are incredible guys!! well done. Greetings from Greece.
This album is nothing short of incredible guys. I haven't been this blown away by a Progressive Metal debut in quite awhile. You can hear the heart and soul that was poured into this record. I hope people take notice of this because it deserves to be heard by anyone who is a fan of the genre. Kudos gentlemen.
Thank you for your kind words! We definitely feel that we poured a lot of ourselves into the album's creation, so we're glad that comes across!
1 month after discovering this album I became completely sure that this is now my favourite album of all. I want more Nospun releases sooo much, thanks for your art!
UPD. All the same after 5 months :)
This is so perfect! All songs are great, no exceptions. A roller-coaster of emotions. It surpassed Noveria (aequilibrium) as the best prog album I ve ever heard. Thanks, Nospun.
This is great! 😍😍😍
A lot of great songs here; 4D Printing is my favorite so far.
after i hear this album, i had the same feeling when i hear dream theater for the first time 18 years ago. and now it happen again. i felt like found a treasure. thanks guys for exist and making this incredible music. now i hope, i can live longer for waiting this band making a journey of music.
I'm only into five minutes of listening to this and so far it reminds me a bit of Metropolis part 2: Scenes from a memory
Uff!, what an album we have here!...
Wow man, just wow!
This is an INCREDIBLE album! The way it tells an emotional story reminds me a little of Ayereon (The Human Equation). Excellent musicianship and composition. I've been listening to the whole thing on loop for a few weeks now. I'll be savoring this for sure, and keeping a keen eye out for anything new in the coming years!
Metal Album for 2023
That solo at 33:51 is madness. Amazing job!
Wow, implosion overture had the most sounding to dream theater i ever heard from a band. SO GOOD and no gimmick sound.
Pure genius
I am patiently waiting for you to come to London...Please come!
It's like soft Opeth meets Devin Townsend meets a theatrical dream meets a carnival of insanity
Incredible! Whole album is a masterpiece. I literally can't stop playing it, it's my favourite album of the moment, and is quite possibly the best sounding recorded music experience in decades. The last time I was absolutely blown away was 27 years ago, when I've heard Images and Words for the first time. Now it's happened again.
brilliant work.
This is perfection!
Awesome!!! I can't stop listening it...
favorite album in a long time. Ive listened to it probably 20 times in the last month. Thank you guys so much its very appreciated.
Love the classic DT vibes this gives out. Great job!!
So, so good! Amazing debut!
Fantastic stuff, loving it more with every repeat play!
What an unmitigated beast of an album. Amazing work! TH-cam threw this at me randomly and I'm floored.
Que maravilla de trabajo.... joder!!!
amazing album front to back. Cannot wait to see where you guys are going next!!
No joke, bands like this keep proving Rock music will never die, congratulations!
wow, fantastic stuff so far! thank you very much, keep up the great tunes - you now have a fan base in Australia! :)
Dear Lord. The prog is strong in you guys. It scratches some many hitches at once, it goes some many places. Congratulations and thank you for the efffort.
Нифига себе, какая годнотища! Прям как Девин Таунсенд!!! 🤘🤘
Thanks for uploading! I really, really liked your album. Looking forward to see you live some time 🙂
Ok, only listened once. Fan for life! Great job, guys!
Hell yeah dudes this is epic as, glad TH-cam randomly showed ya video, definitely gonna get this pumping while I work
Gracias,un magnífico placer!
Finally a good album for 2023, nice work!
This is an amazing album. No doubt you will make it big. Thanks for the kick-ass music
Okay so this was given to me as a youtube rec, and when I was going through Implosion Overture like semi in the background, I felt maybe this was a bit... TOO weird for me maybe. A little too far on the side of experimentalism vs listenability, y'know? Like, it happens, everyone's at different parts of that scale and that journey.
Then Dance with Me pulled me right the fuck back in and Earwyrm knocked my FUCKING TEETH OUT and it was just bliss all the way down and out. I need to give this thing a real, *PROPER* listen later at some 'make out all the details' kinda volumes 'cus holy FUCK the algorithm actually served me some gold here. This is absolutely incredible, y'all are something special as hell and you might wind up being one of my favourite finds for the whole year, I haven't been this impressed by the creativity of an album since I first heard Native Construct.
And it was released 10 days after my birthday? You shouldn't have. I'm sorry it took me so long to get to it /j

This is awesome! Buying a copy and will watch what you do. Greeting from Minnesota.
Just AMAZING !!! Wow ! Every note is perfect... Thank you so much guys for your beautiful music. Fan from France
This is so cool, the music is not only prog, but there are a lot of melodies and feeling.
This album is a triumph. Loved every second of it.
This is a cool album. Look forward to hearing more from you guys.
Damn! This is awesome!
Damn good! 💖🎶
Omg, what a amazing album! Congrats to you all! I'm listening it in loop here. Thank you guys! Best of 2023 so far, no doubt. Cheers from Brazil!
Cara...tu é brasileiro tmb?? que banda é essa meu amigo?? não conhecia, que perfeição de banda é essa..faz tempo que um disco não me impressiona dessa forma...esse play foi lançado esse ano??
@@markwoodrezende1278 Sim, sou brasileiro. Curto demais prog rock/metal e esse disco caiu como uma luva. Um dos melhores do ano até agora. Esse álbum é o primeiro deles com esse nome e formação até onde eu sei, e foi lançado esse ano mesmo.
Achei que tem algumas coisas muito parecidas com Dream Theater e Rush (as vezes até demais), mas mesmo assim é muito bom.
Feliz de ter encontrado essa gema preciosa também. Venho todo dia escutar esse disco, e estou viciado em Within the realm of possibility! ❤
@@markwoodrezende1278 Acho difícil você não conhecer, mas caso não conheça: ouça Haken, Native Construct, Caligula's Horse, Thank You Scientist, Leprous e Artificial Language.
I'm hooked, awesome debut (I found out it was your debut because I had to check while first listening to this jewel...I simply had to have more from this band). Outstanding!
MARAVILHOSO!!!
I have almost finished listening to the album for the first time and I can already say this is a masterpiece. Really amazing work. Varied, rich, melodic and punchy, great sound, excellent singer... This is going to require many more spins to grasp all the depth of the work and talent on display here. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing Prog! Been a good while since I've heard prog this phenomenal. Getting some Symphony X vibes with a bit of Opethian influence.
Great tones across the board
Visions is (by far) my favorite album of all time.
Needless to say that my feeling toward this album are very strong very fast.
Sending love from the bleeding Israel
Amazing stuff keep it going! Definitely would love to watch a live concert of them in my country
This album is something I've been waiting for a loooooong time from prog metal scene! Absolutely a Masterpiece. Congratulations.
I haven't felt so captivated with an album in a long time, I just became your biggest fan ♥ haha this is amazing, really, goosebumps all the way through.😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just discovered this album... sooooooo fucking good dude!!! Incredible!! Already waiting for the next album 🤟🔥
Tremendo disco!!! un grata sorpresa nos deja este 2023, entre los mejores del año sin duda!
Wow! This is insane! Such a tasteful album ...
One of the most impressive albums I've ever heard, and I'm very musically snobbish, the theory on this album, the lyricism, the emotions, genres, it has absolutely changed my perception on what a beautiful album is. You guys came from nowhere and absolutely smashed the bar. Bravo.
What a listening joy.
Good stuff
This is the best prog metal I've heard in a decade. As a fan of DT and early Haken this is gold for me. Keep up the good work and I'll follow your next release with great interest! Cheers!
I have been listening to this album non stop. Killer debut album guys! Great production and the story telling in the singing just sucked me in immediately. Not to mention the technically brilliant musicianship. Keep up the great work thumbs 👍👍
After listening a lot more I think my favorite song is Within the Realm of Possibility. I love the concept and the conversation bit in the middle is so much fun
What a debut. Damn.
I single handedly pushed this song from 40k views to 40k
This music was absolutely written for my taste. Thank you very much!
It's like they took all the best bits of my favourite bands and made something better!
Highly recommend for any fans of Dream Theater, Symphony X, Shadow Gallery, and other prog metal bands. This is fantastic stuff! Highlights: Implosion Overture, Earwyrm, Within the Realm of Possibility
