New song is great!! this is what Atreyu should've been. I miss old Atreyu, new Atreyu not so much. Thanxs for continuing music with or without Atreyu. Dead Icarus!! 🤘
I think this is my favorite of all the songs that Dead Icarus released so far! I hope they get more recognition so we can see them on tour and a full LP release.
My first initial thought was; If Atreyu hardened instead of softened. But now I think that's unfair. This is way cooler as is, without the comparison. Let it stand on its own and let it reign.
Alex I LOVE everything you are doing with Dead Icarus. I missed your vocals so much! However it is really hard to hear the vocals in the mixes. They regularly feel buried. Again though I love that you are happy and back to feeling like yourself with music again!
@deadicarusmusic I agree with them actually, it's not that they're not "loud" enough, it's just that they're muddy? Idk if that's the right word lol but you get it.
The intensity, energy and dark broodiness that made me love Atreyu (and metal in general) starting with hearing Lip Gloss and Black on a random burned compilation ATRAC cd is finally back. Keep it up. This is one of the best songs I've heard in years, from anybody. Fantastic lyrics and equally fantastic instrumentals.
"Lyrically, the song is about a feeling that is un-nameable and stronger than all else, something that propels you forward almost unconsciously with unrelenting drive and purpose.” says frontman Alex Varkatzas
I have been listening to Atryue since Underworld 2 came out, Portrait in Black was the very first song I heard and I was hooked. Thanks Alex for making my childhood, now flash forward 20 ish years, and I am still hooked
I thought the Ad infernum EP was interesting. Enough for me to be curious what comes next. This song BLOWS THAT AWAY!! I must have listened to it 10 times in a row. If this is representative of the sound we can expect for the full album, we're going to be in for something super special!
In my head this is our LipGloss. A chant for every fan to scream along to every show. Im sure the comparisons aren't the coolest thing to hear. But the man had so many bangers with the old getdown. And is still on a winning streak musically.
i feel like i am 4 years late to the fact that alex left atreyu, ive spent the last 4 years listening to their first 6 albums. I check out their last 3 albums and im like "wait a min, something aint right" turns out the entire vibe was off because the main ingredient was missing. Glad i found Jesea lee interview and it pointed me towards this new project, gotta say i already love it and it feels like the old atreyu but new.
same here, i knew he had left. I was on a old atreyu kick and came across that same interview and then I was like "oh that's right, he has a new band" now I'm here lol. I am so dissapointed with atreyu these days I cant listen to anything post Alex. I heard the new acoustic for "Becoming the bull" its horrible and it honestly feels like they are trying to erase Alex from everything slowly.
I love this. I didn't think we'd be getting a new track this soon. I'm love it when bands put a new song out months after the EP or album comes out. Never thought I'd hear dead Icarus play in drop a. Gives me a little I am war vibes and a little ice Nine kills to. Love it
Listening to this again I'm also getting Enterprise Earth influences in it. It makes sense because the guitarist of that band is part of Dead Icarus. We definitely need the vocalist of Enterprise Earth featured in a future song. Alex doing his signature screems while the vocalist of Enterprise Earth does all of the guttarols and highs
Please tell me we're getting a album...the ad infernum LP was awesome but we NEED a full album..Dead Icarus is fucking awesome and this was a great song
Man Alex has been killing it with this band. Only gripes I've had is with the mixes. Vocals are just a little too buried. But this is way better than Brandon era Atreyu.
I love this so much. I always knew cradle had such a huge impact on you musically Alex. Hearing this has me beyond stoked for you bro. I know how unhappy you had to be over the years with the music you had to put out vs the music you’re proud to put out. Keep em coming. I never thought I’d hear those amazing vocals over heavy music again. Thank you so much for this and I’m stoked you’re continually putting bangers out. By far the best vocalist still to this day. You made your old band and Dead Icarus will go even further than “they” ever have. Keep it up. I know I’m wrong but when I hear the lyrics, it makes me think of your past band and how you overcame that to play the music you truly love. Just my opinion
This is first Dead Icarus song I love. It sounds incredible, and I'm digging the symphonic elements.The symphonies remind me of what Bleeding Through has been doing .My only issue is the vocals being lost in the mix. Everything sounds fantastic, but the vocals are getting lost in the mix.
1000% love this and i am so so happy that Alex is doing this project. I feel this is what he was supposed to do all along. Btw idk guys, the quality of the upload of this song is way worse than the others and this makes me sad. Also on Spotify is doing like this :( hopefully it will be fixed
@@javithebassistIt's the exact same on Spotify. If it wasn't for the lyrics being posted I would have missed the first 30 seconds of vocals. Feels like this was mixed by a guitarist and that's all he's interested in hearing 🤷♂️
@@rbak86 personally, I use Apple and I feel like it might be better EQ’ed on there. That being said, there are some parts where the guitars overpower the vocals so I see where you’re coming from bro
@@deadicarusmusic I'm either going deaf from concerts or the way of things these days, Crownshift I felt launched with similarly quiet vocals - still an excellent tune though gents!
New song is great!! this is what Atreyu should've been. I miss old Atreyu, new Atreyu not so much. Thanxs for continuing music with or without Atreyu. Dead Icarus!! 🤘
🤙👍🖤
I agree with you 100 percent
Fck Atreyu glad Alex is doing this.
@@SINE382 Agreed, New Atreyu is not worthy of kissing my ass 🐴
They sold out to make worse music than nickelback at the PEAK of their hate. A death grip on yesterday is probably the best album of all time imo
Still so great hearing Alex making the type of music that suits him again.
🙌🙌🙌
Ohhhhh we definitely need a tour!!
I think this is my favorite of all the songs that Dead Icarus released so far! I hope they get more recognition so we can see them on tour and a full LP release.
Holy crap dude. This is hands down the best song released all year
Oh my god.
😃🖤🙌
Solid release fellas
My first initial thought was; If Atreyu hardened instead of softened. But now I think that's unfair. This is way cooler as is, without the comparison. Let it stand on its own and let it reign.
Thanks buddy
Bleeding Through vibes! This is sick!
Y'all don't miss! Must be exhausting dropping stellar track after stellar track 🔥🔥. 🤘🏽🤘🏽.
😁
Im so happy right now
Dude Alex this is heavy. NOT FAKE HEAVY
🤣😂🙌💪
SUPER UNDERRATED!!!!
The melodies, the heaviness, the vocals... this song went harder than it had to, but holy hell it rules! Stoked for EVERYTHING Dead Icarus releases.
Thank you
Wow. This is fucking awesome. Great sound!
Alex I LOVE everything you are doing with Dead Icarus. I missed your vocals so much! However it is really hard to hear the vocals in the mixes. They regularly feel buried. Again though I love that you are happy and back to feeling like yourself with music again!
Thanks for checking it out. Sorry the vocals arnt loud enough for you .
@deadicarusmusic I agree with them actually, it's not that they're not "loud" enough, it's just that they're muddy? Idk if that's the right word lol but you get it.
Damnnn. And this is just the first song off the new album coming out. Cannot wait. You guys are killing it.
⚡️💪
This gives me Cradle of Filth vibes. The 2:50 mark fucking hits the souls of the dead.
🧛♂️💪🦇
Thought the same thing love the melodic black metal vibes
This is sick. Breath of fresh air since seeing the teaser of Atreyus dogshit Becoming the Bull remake.
Well, I'll listen to this way too much. Thanks!
😁🖤
The intensity, energy and dark broodiness that made me love Atreyu (and metal in general) starting with hearing Lip Gloss and Black on a random burned compilation ATRAC cd is finally back. Keep it up.

🖤🙌 thank you
Am I the only one who gets this urge to run through a wall!!!! Unconquerable, More like "undestructible"!! Love it, need more❤❤❤❤
💪💪💪
Bravo that was really good guys
Alex this is exactly what i've been missing from your sound. so amazing please never stop!!!
🖤
So happy I just found out Alex is still making music. Just hasnt been the same without him.
Nice hearing Alex over an actual breakdown. You must've been deprived so long hahaha. Nice work!
This is so sick! Thanks for showing us what are you made of
Love the symphonic sound added to this. Another great track!
Thanks for listening

Very cathartic love the choir backings 🙏 not love not death not rage not pain 🤟
Thank you RAGE ON !!!
This song is proof, Alex is the GOAT!
Thanks for the kind words
Man, this breakdown destroyed my house, holy hell! So good to find out your new project! Miss the good old times
Thanks for checking us out
Awesome song! Love it!
Thank you
I thought the Ad infernum EP was interesting. Enough for me to be curious what comes next.
This song BLOWS THAT AWAY!! I must have listened to it 10 times in a row.
If this is representative of the sound we can expect for the full album, we're going to be in for something super special!
Thanks for the kind words
This fills a void. Well fuckin done! 🤘
In my head this is our LipGloss. A chant for every fan to scream along to every show. Im sure the comparisons aren't the coolest thing to hear. But the man had so many bangers with the old getdown. And is still on a winning streak musically.

Espiritual!✨🖤🤘🏻
🖤🖤
So amazing!!! Can’t wait for an album and more music from you guys for years to come hopefully!!!

Right on

This is so fucking good! Makes me smile from ear to ear. Keep it up!

Thanks for checking out Di and the kind words of support . It’s appreciated
Pretty nice
This is so fucking, good, I hope to hear this track live next month when you come to Sioux Falls! Keep up the absolute headbanging work!
Deal!

Awesome song! It'd be cool to see another collab with Schieppati. I Am War is highly underrated.
Maybe one day
I'm waiting in V E G A S for you guys to come through! 🔥🎰🦇🎰🔥
💪
🖤
🙌🖤🙌
Holy Fucking Shit!! Please for the love of God come headline a show in Sacramento!
😂💪
🤘Welcome back 👑
🙌🤠
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
🙌🖤
This fucking goes hard as hell.
😈 💪
So much better than what atreyu has become.
Thanks for giving Di a shot
@@deadicarusmusic of course. Even better than I expected, can’t wait to see what’s to come
Holy metal batman
IDK what to say. Just fucking incredible.
😁🙌🙌
Got the 69th like. Nice.
Yo this song is an absolute banger
🤣💪
Holy fuck! This is the best song so far! EPIC! However, I think the vocals should be louder in the mixing.
1000% love this and i am so so happy that Alex is doing this project. I feel this is what he was supposed to do all along. Btw idk guys, the quality of the upload of this song is way worse than the others and this makes me sad. Also on Spotify is doing like this :( hopefully it will be fixed
Is it just me or are the vocals extremely quiet and hard to hear?
TH-cam for some reason tends to do this with some tracks, maybe streaming will sound better on Spotify/Apple
I thought the same.
Thanks for listening
@@javithebassistIt's the exact same on Spotify. If it wasn't for the lyrics being posted I would have missed the first 30 seconds of vocals. Feels like this was mixed by a guitarist and that's all he's interested in hearing 🤷♂️

Another fuckin insane song 💀☠️🔥🤘
💪
When is the live debut?
We are on tour this fall.
Fucking A Sir!!! 🤘🏻🫡
Fuck N A brother !
When you open the 2002 time capsule in 2024 and remember the glory days.
That’s an interesting merge of metal genres. Kinda bastard child of Samael and Dimmu Borgir
🔥🙌
Atreyu was awesome with Alex. And Brandon sings very well too and all but it’s more like alternative pop rock now :/
Vocals are real quiet in this mix
Thanks for checking it out. Sorry the vocals arnt loud enough for you
@@deadicarusmusic I'm either going deaf from concerts or the way of things these days, Crownshift I felt launched with similarly quiet vocals - still an excellent tune though gents!
I can't hear the vocals? The mixing needs to improve
@@switchback_sb they were a bit quiet on the first songs that came out, and this seems even more quiet
Thanks for listening
Was twenty seconds in supposed to look like lady parts?
Just joking - AWESOME song, as always!!
We see what we want to see 😂🤣😂🙌
@@deadicarusmusic 😂🤣
Atreyu and Dead Icarus should do a collab one day.
Or just let them do their own thing. It's done
Yeah, not happening. This is way fucking harder than anything they can dream of doing. Lol.
Yeah not going to happen anytime soon. Pretty clear they're both going in different directions.
Thank you for not working with Travis Barker.
Bass and drums are too high in the mix. I can't hear the guitars. That's a bit of a bummer.
Good news is those drums fucking rip 🙌
Whoever mixed this should be arrested. Vocals are criminally low. Solid tune though! Lots of potential, but definitely find a new producer.
Music is sick, but the visuals are horrendous, look like ai generated muck.
Damn, went on to create better music than Atreyu...
