Message to the band "VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY"........I'm a musician from Australia. Heard your music for the first time the other day. Have absorbed so much of it in such a short time. Your music is brilliant, the blended instruments traditional and new, the ability to be a big band and reduced to a small band of 3, maintaining the essence of your music true!. YOU GUYS ROCK! AND THIS ALBUM IS EPIC AND HAS STRONG FOUNDATIONS TO TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, YOUR LYRICS ARE INSIGHTFUL, INSPIRING, AND ENLIGHTENING. THANK YOU 🙏👍👍👍
It's one of the final level bosses, if TH-cam recommends you this album it's because you've passed the tests and shown incredible musical taste, so congratulations to you!
@@jrrarglblarg9241 @jrrarglblarg9241 Oh how interesting these side quests are! Personally, I had to listen to a lot of Balkan (Greek and Bulgarian mostly) and Gypsy folk music. Then secondary quests in the 70's Turkish Psyche then Byzantine, Arab and Assyrian Christian chants and I finally arrived here after listening to ancient slavic pagan music and synthwave on the same day ! I discovered Ozgur Baba because of you and I enjoy it very much, thank you !
By doing this unique side quest in listening to 80-90s Japanese jazz for a full day I managed to get a reward which is the TH-cam algorithm recommending me this.
I happened to be listening to this and Masayoshi Takanaka's prog stuff for a year or two. Combine that with Jojo fans usually being Jrock fans that get exposed to prog by looking up the names Araki uses and you get a bridge between experimental Japanese music and the stoner side of rock.
when finding great art, I usually overlisten to the point where I can't even look at the album art anymore. since I found this gem, I have been listening for over a week in pastime, during work, and it feels fresh everytime I listen again. wow. thank you.
To the people who discovered this album or this genre in general. There's a series of compilation albums called "Weedian", they explore "stoner rock" around the world by country. You are in for a big surprise. :D
I'm going through some serious changes in my life, at 39 years old. After using drugs and alcohol for almost 20 years, my life was in ruins. I found myself homeless, and in and out of hospitals due to underlying and quite serious health issues. This album got me through the darkest of those days. I'd listen to it every chance I got. Now that I'm in recovery, I can listen to it again! I've been sober for 51 days today. Sitting here jamming out, and enjoying being me. Truly incredible. It's amazing how much music has helped me on this incredibly tough, challenging, and brutal journey. I'm not always happy that I'm sober today, but I know it's the best choice I've ever made. I'm finally finding out what makes me tick. Thank you for making this incredible music. I cannot do anything to possibly repay you. Just know that there's someone out there who loves what you do, and making this album was worth it.
in october my girlfriend and me were driving through greece by car , we passed ioannina three days before youtube algorithm led me to this album...We were driving through mani/peloponnes, with all its beautiful breathtaking landscape, from mighty foggy mountains (there was a thunderstorm on this day), green wooded hills and the beautfiul deep blue sea as I decided to give it a try...What than happened was pure magic...It was overwhelming to hear this as the soundtrack to this breathtaking view, my girlfriend could not hold back her tears...Thank you very much for this album! Greetings from Austria!
Just found this. WOW. This is some of the best jams I have heard in a dog's age. It is wonderful to say hello to the entire world community through shared love of art and to KNOW that we are all the same with one love and one soul. The politicians of the world lie and divide us while art and knowledge has the power to unite us. From a friend in the U.S., one love to all as our species moves to the day we will live in the stars. When I smoke and close my eyes I think of you all......all of you. I want you to know that I KNOW your lives, your loves and your dreams are real and have MEANING. I am glad we could meet here with this music, in this time and place. End the wars, end poverty and let's take our place in the heavens in THIS LIFE!!! Peace and love to you all.

The blues pentatonic scale, meeting with the pentatonic rhythms of ancient greek music of Epirus. Ancient greek Askavlos, and Balkan Clarinet, interchanging and overlapping high output humbuckers from a Les Paul. Mighty basslines accompany snare drums, ride and crush cymbals, in a rhythmic wave. All of these with the most fitting stoner vocals. Very good production. Wonderful songwriting. This will be a classic album for this generation, and the ones to come in the future. Great stuff!!!
Philosopher here. I will tell you the reflections that came to me with this album, and try to make it interesting for those who stick. So, thank you for stopping by, fellow traveler. East of Canada, in a café at the top of a mountain, the horizon stretched before my eye...and I pressed play. No drugs involve, just the weirdness of my thoughts. Two thoughts started orbiting around one another in my mind, like a dance that kept increasing. ''What should I do with my life?'' and ''One day, we will shoot for the stars''. There is only two possible path for humankind, or three. Either we kill ouselves with technology or we shoot for the stars. Or...we stagnate but it would surprise me. I tried to visualize a future where we have explored the whole galaxy and conquered many worlds. Another question surfaced: '' Then...what? '' Imagine: All out needs are met with technology; everyone have food, water, shelter, and Iphone 506. Humanity starts to explore beyond our galaxy. We have met different species; went to war or went to bed with them ( such is humans for you ). You're a citizen of a super-city in a planet ressembling the earth....what is your purpose? What is the goal of the common folk? History says: There's explorers. There's scientists and philosophers. But what about the common people? They make children. They perpetuate the species. And...Art. We, the common folks, indulge in art and play with our family and friends. We play. We create. And look for pleasure. Now back in your shoes. Knowing that we WILL shoot for the stars, with your help or not... '' What should you do with your life? '' I was wondering if we should push the technological progress - because I love it - but I realized that...its going to happen, one way or another. The answer to the question is...nothing. Nothing needs to be pushed. Our natural development will get us there. I stopped my recalling short because I ran out of coffee. Also, I would be greatly surprised if anyone read my post. So, if you're reading this, you are a happy surprise. Feel free to tell me your thoughts. And if you wish to tell me how stupid I am, please use good arguments. I'll use them to improve. Thank you. And keep following your callings.
Absolutely shocked at how I accidently stumbled upon this album. I almost stopped working on my project coz i couldn't find something good to listen to, but this album found me somehow. This is some legendary shit.

I've lived in the states my whole live and was getting bored with the same old crap. Just found this album and I am blown away. I can't stop listening.

I just starting Hoping to become one ☝️ and join the club Yep I’m there oh yep Welcome to the new age Let’s hope it’s a new age we are entering and more hope is in the air for us all 🍄
I have listened to this album over and over again, dozens and dozens of times over the last years. It still gives me goosebumps and it is still inspiring to the point that it seems to awaken some sensation of... awe and... amazement within me. Every single time.
@@Hristaquissomebody left me links for two bands, this one and Sleep Token and I'm one song. in here. I think I fuckin love it here, too. I spent a week on the first band, at least and now, I feel a bit guilty. Everything in it's time, I suppose

So glad I found my way here after years of curating my feed. It's nice to discover and experience more dark post rock. Guitars, acoustic and electric, are just such a beautiful-sounding instruments.
My girlfriend and I found this album on TH-cam about a year and a half ago and as a Music Fan and a record shop owner, I purchased the hell out of this album and have promoted and exposed others to this masterpiece. It's the 'Parlor's Album of the Year the year it was released on Lp and CD. I feel privileged to listen to this when I do.
As I listen to this stelar symphony I can feel my soul intertwine with the fiber of spacetime as my mortal body melts away into cosmic dust all the while a sudden sense of anew comes alive: the waters of the universe flow through me and thus I am reborn! I am one with everything, I am Aquarius: The Villager, the bringer of life and life itself.
@venomcarrie3 the feeling of what it was like to record this originally is still connected to the song then. I am glad you could experience it the way it was originally performed, while I was alone in a lighthouse.
Aquarius in Mythology was the one to serve the Gods in mount Olympus their drinks. During the great flood Aquarius had a central role, he was the one unleashed the waters. Metaphorically Aquarius is a symbol of inner spiritual enlightenment and how basically we can be better as people. I believe this is the meaning of this album. Peace!
@George V 25,860 years long "astrological ages" is hilarious and unprovable, especially because (according to NASA and Relativity) over that time each constellation will have moved 183,5 quadrillion km which means Pisces was not Pisces except at the end and Aquarius will not be Aquarius except at the beginning...
@@MikhalisBramouell By that time there will be nobody around to call it Pisces. Anything with a view would have a new name for that angle.Perspective is relative. Language is malleable.
@@fostxswire1600 Apparently ages are relative too. Quantum Physics disproves Relativity and Gravity btw so I don't believe any of that deep space sci-fi fantasy stuff you love. The future is Quantum.
I don't know if I'm your only Turkish fan, probably not, but I listen to this album day and night with goosebumps. Thanks for the quality music, neighbor!
The thing is i have never had a revelation so big in my entier life. Listening to this gave me back the hope that everything will be ok in my life. It shoked me to hear so deep and meaningful lyrics, as well as authentic greek folk music combied in such a tasteful manner with metal. And also, listening to this at 4 in the morning, in complete darkness, made my imagination gone wild. Thank you so much for your music. It made me happy in a low point of my life. Thank you!
Απο το 14 με το Riza έλεγα τι μπαντάρα είναι αυτή, αλλά δυστυχώς μάλλον θα χαθούν όπως πολλές Ελληνικές μπάντες. Και τώρα σκάτε με αυτό το δίσκο και τρώω μια φάπα ΝΑ!! Μπράβο ρε παιδιά! Δεν ξέρω τι να πω.. Περιμένουμε πολλά από εσάς!
I knew about this album, and listened it in the past... not sure why it did not grab me back then, but I kept it in my car's playlist. Something happened just before the end of the year of 2021. I was on a long trip, snowy everywhere, this album started and I decided to leave it going... One week later... can't stop listening to it, few times manly tears of joy and revelation went down from my eyes. As someone said in the comments somewhere: The more I listen, the more I feel becoming the man in the song. Or, was I always him? Cheers, the bagpipe sounds, that are also native to my nation are tearing my soul with joy. Best wishes from Bulgaria, it is indeed the age of Aquarius starting...
Villagers Of Ioannina City - Age Of Aquarius lyrics 1. Welcome 0:00 Welcome, to a new age Here comes the ray of Sun Welcome to a new Age fullness of time has come Welcome.. Look at the stars look at the signs this is the start of something new the Age of Aquarius Here comes the Sun glorius one this is the start of new life flooding has begun 2. Age of Aquarius 2:58 Stay close to the river and cry and the river's gonna feel you're the god of rain he's gonna worship you like god and creator for ages And all the fairies of the forest will come the wanna so you to the dance of night this is the Age of Aquarius I'm coming out of river breathing out, I'm finally reborn Rain is falling to the shore dawn is coming, the night is almost gone I came from where the Leo is rising I've travelled through the space for so long A forest nymph is calling for me come along and I will guide where to go Age of aquarius We ran to the mountain We've found an ancient temple with my name Then she bowed and said these words we were waiting here a thousand years for you Now you must do something to bring the light Now you must do something to change the world Age of Aquarius Returning again to mother earth to set the fire and rain I'm turning again the circles of time to bring the Sun back again 3. Part V 11:41 Alone tonight, sitting in the candlelight thinking again, of all my life and the words unsaid you know i'm deeply repent Walking around the streets of my family house remembering again, of all my childhood and the dreams we've shared my childhood came into an end Time flies in circles and rerun so fast, but time is an illusion and it bends now it makes so much sense And all those dreams in daytime searching for the light the saints were calling me in the night they told me everything is alright The voices keep on calling me they're screaming in my head, all this time to find the answers and fare they were always there Thinking and thinking how to find my way I'ma standing on the gate walking and say goodbye see you on the other side I came for recreation travelled through space and time all over the ages the planets aligned I came for the salvation of soul and spirit and mind all over the changes my body revived 4. Dance Of Night 21:29 Awe tonight the birth of new child has come back to life Watch the sky planets are alligned the stars collide Feel the thunder that cosmic thunder here's the water carrier Set the pyre lift your spirit higher dance through the fire Dancing around Dance tonight spring has arrived nature has revived The Earth is high longing for His night the world has thrived Dance together break that mental tether make that one step further All together dance for his arrival ride the holy spiral Dancing around moving in circles till the point that we reach to the edge of the age of Aquarius Singing along along with the angels with all the spirits and animals become one with the universe The Sun has finaly come.. Thats the new beginning open your eyes Embrace the new beginning open your eyes 6. Father Sun 31:54 Look at the horizon the Sun is reaching out feel the air is changing the light has finally come Close your eyes and synchronize with the voices of the past Mother Earth is calling calls for you to act Always calling in for you forever calling never reaching you.. And I...To the Sun I pray... Listen up my child listen to my prayers always look at the Sun and keep reaching out To the Sun I pray... I came from the mountain to wash away the fear drank from the fountain water crystal clear I 'm the holy river that rises from the past came to deliver and spread the golden dust I'm the fire, I'm the rain the air the seed, the dust the golden grain And I... I 'm the Sun and Rain Listen up my child listen to my prayers always look at the Sun and keep reaching out 7. Millennium Blues 40:31 Strange days are coming stand up straight my son All streets are burning stand up straight my son You have to remember life is just a ride The voice that is inside you that should be your guide No fear, stand up straight my son... Can you remember once you had a dream All kids were shining dancing with relief No thurst nor hunger touching the supreme Dreams becoming real as long as you believe No fear, stand up straight my son... We ain't going nowhere we're gonna stand for what is right Always together fighting for freedom to change our lives We are the dreamers we 're going to change the world We are the ember we are the light of the world New day is coming... 8. Cosmic Soul 49:14 Heading to the Northern star almost there I'll be become a fire and rain from the air Diving to this sea of space yearning for eternal grace Bending throught the space and time flying at the speed of light Sailing to an open sea I'm finally free I am rising to the sky like a sparkle in the night You know that I'll be back one day I'll be there The morning of a brand new day meet you there With dreamers of a different world surrounded by eternal love In peace with perfect harmony Thw dawn of age of Gold Sailing to an open sea I'm finally free I am rising to the sky like a sparkle in the night across the sea through the space and time I see the the light I came from another world I've seen the light through darkness Sparkle out of black hole the joy out of sadness I am the cosmic soul the fire of every spirit Trust me when I say these words I've seen another living everything goes in circles.. you have to save your soul free your mind and breakout find a place to call home find your way and breath out feel this spiritual love the cosmic soul inside you come out of black hole ride the spiral, and fly everything goes in circles... 9. For The Innocent 58:17 A song for the innocent carriers of the light for all the deviants creatures of the night for all the immigrants of life all the underdogs here's to the wanderers of mind dreamers of new world i will follow you to the end of the world we will finally come to the age of gold we will stand against all wrong with all the strenght we 've got and if we stand together as one we will overcome i will follow you to the end of the world we will finally come to the age of gold
So it's almost 10 PM here, and the electricity in my neighborhood has been out for hours due to a wind storm. I'm sitting in my back yard gazing up at the universe. The sky is so clear and bright. This is the perfect time and perfect place to discover this album. I'm about 15 minutes in and floating away into the ether. I don't wanna come down.
Don't know how, but youtubes algorithm has been on point lately. I'm glad to have discovered these guys before it was 10 years too late like most bands.
wrong; most quality albums and bands arent mainstream popular like Naxatras or 1000mods. not denying that those 2 bands arent quality but just saying it has views exact like it should.
@@Sonic_sorceressI didn't say that. They don't need recognition to be a good band, but they are a good band and they deserve recognition. If they are successful, they will be able to continue playing music and we will be able to continue enjoying it. 😉 By the way, I love 1000mods. Take a look at these other bands, you might like some of them: Brutus, Toundra, Russian Circles, Jinger, Black pistol fire, Derby Motoreta Burrito Cachimba.
Συγχαρητηρια στα παιδια.. Ωριμασε ο ηχος τους. Πιο βαρυς, πιο ψυχεδελικος αρκετα πιο μελωδικος κρατωντας παραλληλα τα στοιχεια και τις ριζες των ιδεων τους τα οποια τους εκαναν γνωστους και μοναδικους..
@@adreasbrown7954 λιγότερο κλαρίνο οντως, αλλά κράτησαν αυτό το γύρισμα των δημοτικών τραγουδιών. Εντάξει δε θα μπορούσε να είναι το ίδιο. Εμένα μου άρεσε που το πηγαν ένα βήμα παραπέρα. Και πέρα από το κλαρίνο ακους και την υπέροχη γκαιντα! Γούστα από την άλλη είναι αυτά !!
@@adreasbrown7954 Ανεβηκαν επιπεδο με αυτη τη δουλεια.Εμενα με κανανε φαν τους με αυτη τη δουλεια,τα προηγουμενα δε με ενθουσιασανε και τοσο, χαβαλες...μεχρι εκει.Το καινουριο ειναι δισκαρα καμια σχεση.
Κι εγώ τον προτιμώ αυτόν το δίσκο.Ο ήχος τους πιο ώριμος.Λιγότερο κλαρίνο περισσότερο γκάιντα,αλλά έτσι κι αλλιώς και αυτό παραδοσιακό όργανο είναι.Προτιμώ δικά τους κομμάτια παρά διασκευές παραδοσιακών.Καλό ήταν αυτό στην αρχή για να τους μάθει ο κόσμος,αλλά τώρα πιστεύω πως ωρίμασαν αρκετά έτσι ώστε να μας παρουσιάσουν κάτι τελείως δικό τους.Πιο ψυχεδελικός ήχος,μεγαλύτερης διάρκειας κομμάτια που παραπέμπει σε stoner ροκ.Θυμίζουν λίγο και 1000Mods.Πάρα πολύ καλοί.
Είναι καθαρά Stoner. Αγνό, σκληρό, ρυθμικό, όπως πρέπει. Με σεβασμό στις προηγούμενες δουλειές του. Τα παιδιά εξελίσσονται, πειραματίζονται, όπως οφείλει να κάνει κάθε σωστός καλλιτέχνης.
Man Greece sure has the US beat with rock music right now for sure. This album sounds like one of those absolute classics from the more intelligent forward thinking "Indie" rock bands right around year 2000 or so. Like the album you throw on with a few chill friends over and just let play and enjoy. Good stuff gentleman. Perfect mix of energy, mood, emotion, awesome production while still being raw! And has that timeless sound to it. Bravo. And this is from a 42 Yr rock musician birthed in the heyday of seattle rock and still here and still hopefully bands like this will keep things going.
I am a fan of rock music and if I need to listen to Greek rock, then that is what TF I am going to do now. I also feel it very difficult to enjoy new music. I can dig this! It's great!
Ok yeah, but seriously and with much respect, what the *fuck* is going on with Greece these last years?! They’re exporting blazing and muddy album after album and it’s amazing.
@@SenseiBerial Here's what I like: Automaton-Talos Naxatras-1 Green Yeti- Desert Show Puta Volcano-Harmony of Spheres The Curf- Death and Love Universe217-Change Screaming Fly- Trip to Venus
The Greeks have done it again, what a beautiful piece of music. Villagers of Ioannina City are up there with other exceptional Greek bands such as the mighty Naxatras, Breath After Coma, Planet of Zeus, Nightstalker etc. I will be sure to spread this album to people that understand what quality music is. In the period of next year this Serb will be playing these amazing tunes all over Changsha, China and wherever the Universe might bring him.
@@JovanNecakov Deaf radio sound like Queens of the stone age and Puta Volcano remind me of Alice in Chains . if you like these bands , you will love them :) They are among the biggest bands in Greece at the moment. Enjoy
@@dokanyon Just finished checking the bands you suggested out. I have to say all of them are amazing, I especially dig Their Methlab and Deaf Radio, thank you again you wonderful man.
WELL, MY FAVORITE VILLAGERS, I HEAR HEAVY METAL LAST 40 YEARS, SINCE 13, AND IT'S THE 1ST TIME I LET MY TEARS FREE WITH THIS KIND OF MUSIC...PLEASE, PLEASE GO ON!!!
The skill is soul rendering. The bagpipes and kaval, the keyboards echoing through space and time. "The arrival" is a love letter to everyone and everything.
I almost never comment on anything on the intrawebs but this album is amazing. One of the most epic sounding things I have ever heard. Simply amazing. - Greetings from the frozen north.
Hey that's quite a comment my friend. Still listening to the 1st song, guy has a hella fucking powerful voice. Hello from the South here in Tennessee my friend.
To be honest i cannot explain in words the way this albul makes me feel. It feels like the songs carefully bypass all of the walls guarding my heart to directly speak to my soul. It has been almost a year since a discovered this album and not a week has passed without me listening to it. No matter how i am feeling (depressed, angry, happy) the songs just hit it right, make me feel heard, listened to, alive. This album is up there together with the initial muse and evanescence albums that i always went back to for the past decade. Truly a masterpiece
I can’t even listen to anything else anymore after this !! The universe answered my quest for the ultimate musical voyage. Villagers delivered the gifts from the lost city !!! I shall listen and worship!!! 🙏🏻
@@GLMusic12 By recognition I was meaning, they should be more well known, brilliant albums like this only get heard by those willing to get away from the mainstream.
sunday night, i just saw such an interesting name in my suggestions. glad i clicked it... awesome record!!. my 74 year father is sitting next to me listening to it and telling me how good it sounds! thank you!
I just cannot stop listening, it May be the best album I ever heard!! Much Love from the South of Germany :D May all pure souls of this earth unite in the near future. New Age Rise!!🙏☀️
@@saragonzalezjuarez9904 According to Aristoteles we are all political beings and we shape things around us with our mentality, choices and actions! So I guess the change of eras include also political changes and music is the best way to express it! Enjoy!!!
I never really got into anything Greek in music apart from Rotting Christ. I certainly did not expect my second favorite Hellenic band to play such softer music, but there we have it. this is amazing!
Came home from their concert 2 hrs ago in Belgrade. What an experience.. 🙌👏🤘well done neighbours, a class act!! Entrance and for the inoccent were so damn good, not to forget millennial blues witch was such a refreshment!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I dont comment here at all but had to this time... Listened entire album in one shot and It's a masterpiece... Impressed so much, different feelings i had with each song! Mind blowing... WoW Warm greetings and hope to see you here in Turkey...
This band and album is fantastic. The lyrics are thoughtful and passionate. The instrumentals are excellent and patient, as if the artists playing them know they could play at a faster tempo and still be good, but that they are in no rush and by taking their time, they work in synchronization to create a masterpiece. Part V feels like a journey through a heart-felt confession and revelation
I have to say, after listening to this album for a couple of years I have come to the conclusion that this may be one of the best prog rock albums I have ever heard. Truly, truly underrated stuff
You guys have so much soul. I haven't listened to an album this much since Steely Dan Royal Scam came out when I was a senior in college. Thank you for the wonderful feelings. Please do more of these master works.
Discovered Mother of Millions last year, now I stumble upon this! There's a lot of greatness coming out of Greece as of late! The Muses surely are doing their work properly!

Message to the band "VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY"........I'm a musician from Australia. Heard your music for the first time the other day. Have absorbed so much of it in such a short time. Your music is brilliant, the blended instruments traditional and new, the ability to be a big band and reduced to a small band of 3, maintaining the essence of your music true!.
YOU GUYS ROCK! AND THIS ALBUM IS EPIC AND HAS STRONG FOUNDATIONS TO TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, YOUR LYRICS ARE INSIGHTFUL, INSPIRING, AND ENLIGHTENING.
THANK YOU 🙏👍👍👍
You guys kick ass!!!
Epic!!!
Which platform gives the most money to the band?
@@roberthall7135 hahaha! Or else, take my money and shut up! 😂 That's the spirit for me too for this album of this band!
It's one of the final level bosses, if TH-cam recommends you this album it's because you've passed the tests and shown incredible musical taste, so congratulations to you!
My quest giver was Ozgur Baba. I had to binge-listen ThraxPunks and Turkish folk music in the same week to get here. Your mileage may vary.
@@jrrarglblarg9241 @jrrarglblarg9241 Oh how interesting these side quests are! Personally, I had to listen to a lot of Balkan (Greek and Bulgarian mostly) and Gypsy folk music. Then secondary quests in the 70's Turkish Psyche then Byzantine, Arab and Assyrian Christian chants and I finally arrived here after listening to ancient slavic pagan music and synthwave on the same day !
I discovered Ozgur Baba because of you and I enjoy it very much, thank you !
@@louis_saint_rose Bless you and enjoy your day.
Amen, it's been 50 yrs 🙏 🙌
hahaha
By doing this unique side quest in listening to 80-90s Japanese jazz for a full day I managed to get a reward which is the TH-cam algorithm recommending me this.
Why strain yourself like this?????Just write greek stoner in the search box!!!!!!
I happened to be listening to this and Masayoshi Takanaka's prog stuff for a year or two. Combine that with Jojo fans usually being Jrock fans that get exposed to prog by looking up the names Araki uses and you get a bridge between experimental Japanese music and the stoner side of rock.
I dont listen to 80-90s Japanese jazz but maybe I should, ifn it led you here.
I did nothing to deserve this bounty, but oh, it throbs beautifully.
Idk how i got recommended this. Probbably from deftones. But I like it
I feel like I just won the algorithm lottery. I can not describe how atmospheric this album is and I'm only on the second track.
i am at the welcome track and feel the same way
when finding great art, I usually overlisten to the point where I can't even look at the album art anymore. since I found this gem, I have been listening for over a week in pastime, during work, and it feels fresh everytime I listen again. wow. thank you.
Yeeaaa this slaps. Yuh know, hits different. Make ya feel some type of way type beat.
yes!
To the people who discovered this album or this genre in general. There's a series of compilation albums called "Weedian", they explore "stoner rock" around the world by country. You are in for a big surprise. :D
Thank you
EDIT : This band was in the Greek album compilation.
I discovered Weedian on accident but am a huge fan now. I eat a ton of shrooms and it's my background music now always
Weedian...best band on the planet...😊
@@RollerVol Weedian is not a band as far as I know, is a compilation series.
I'm going through some serious changes in my life, at 39 years old. After using drugs and alcohol for almost 20 years, my life was in ruins. I found myself homeless, and in and out of hospitals due to underlying and quite serious health issues. This album got me through the darkest of those days. I'd listen to it every chance I got.
Now that I'm in recovery, I can listen to it again! I've been sober for 51 days today. Sitting here jamming out, and enjoying being me. Truly incredible. It's amazing how much music has helped me on this incredibly tough, challenging, and brutal journey.
I'm not always happy that I'm sober today, but I know it's the best choice I've ever made. I'm finally finding out what makes me tick.
Thank you for making this incredible music. I cannot do anything to possibly repay you. Just know that there's someone out there who loves what you do, and making this album was worth it.
Stay strong and healthy!!!
stay strong brother.One day at a time!
Yo good stuff. Stay up bro!
Conquer those demons bro!
Stay strong, brother! All the good vibrations for you!
Finding gems like this at 2:00am is the shit I live for

Love how I trained my YT algorithm so it shows me gems like this one
God of rock, found this album just today first time and stuck at Age of Aquarius, listening again and again.
Me too, 2 years later still here. I listen then live 2 times, they are even better live belive me ,or as original as here.
in october my girlfriend and me were driving through greece by car , we passed ioannina three days before youtube algorithm led me to this album...We were driving through mani/peloponnes, with all its beautiful breathtaking landscape, from mighty foggy mountains (there was a thunderstorm on this day), green wooded hills and the beautfiul deep blue sea as I decided to give it a try...What than happened was pure magic...It was overwhelming to hear this as the soundtrack to this breathtaking view, my girlfriend could not hold back her tears...Thank you very much for this album!

Great comment!
History will speak about this album. Mark. My. Words.
Everybody chill until the Greeks start making stoner rock
What…? They’re like the leading country when it comes to that genre. It’s more popular there than anywhere else
Yep, its been happening for a while, and it's pretty good. The problem is the distance between there and here...
@@RollerVol It's crazy to think this genre was born in USA but nowadays has a bigger history here in Europe.😮
And MBM to be fair😊
@@marcbasil Can you back that up by facts?
Just found this. WOW. This is some of the best jams I have heard in a dog's age. It is wonderful to say hello to the entire world community through shared love of art and to KNOW that we are all the same with one love and one soul. The politicians of the world lie and divide us while art and knowledge has the power to unite us. From a friend in the U.S., one love to all as our species moves to the day we will live in the stars. When I smoke and close my eyes I think of you all......all of you. I want you to know that I KNOW your lives, your loves and your dreams are real and have MEANING. I am glad we could meet here with this music, in this time and place. End the wars, end poverty and let's take our place in the heavens in THIS LIFE!!! Peace and love to you all.
Силы вам, людям США! Мир во всём мире!

My soul is rockin out as I listen to this in a Settlers Cabin in VA! This album is peaking to the world! way cool.
Yes! There's no better album to hike through the mountains of Colorado. These guys truly make me feel one with nature, connected yet free.
How about cornfields just outside Birmingham?
Imagine listening to it when riding through the Greek mountains
The blues pentatonic scale, meeting with the pentatonic rhythms of ancient greek music of Epirus. Ancient greek Askavlos, and Balkan Clarinet, interchanging and overlapping high output humbuckers from a Les Paul. Mighty basslines accompany snare drums, ride and crush cymbals, in a rhythmic wave. All of these with the most fitting stoner vocals. Very good production. Wonderful songwriting. This will be a classic album for this generation, and the ones to come in the future. Great stuff!!!
Philosopher here.
I will tell you the reflections that came to me with this album, and try to make it interesting for those who stick. So, thank you for stopping by, fellow traveler.
East of Canada, in a café at the top of a mountain, the horizon stretched before my eye...and I pressed play.
No drugs involve, just the weirdness of my thoughts.
Two thoughts started orbiting around one another in my mind, like a dance that kept increasing.
''What should I do with my life?'' and ''One day, we will shoot for the stars''.
There is only two possible path for humankind, or three.
Either we kill ouselves with technology or we shoot for the stars. Or...we stagnate but it would surprise me.
I tried to visualize a future where we have explored the whole galaxy and conquered many worlds. Another question surfaced:
'' Then...what? ''
Imagine: All out needs are met with technology; everyone have food, water, shelter, and Iphone 506. Humanity starts to explore beyond our galaxy. We have met different species; went to war or went to bed with them ( such is humans for you ).
You're a citizen of a super-city in a planet ressembling the earth....what is your purpose?
What is the goal of the common folk?
History says: There's explorers. There's scientists and philosophers. But what about the common people?
They make children. They perpetuate the species. And...Art. We, the common folks, indulge in art and play with our family and friends.
We play. We create. And look for pleasure.
Now back in your shoes.
Knowing that we WILL shoot for the stars, with your help or not...
'' What should you do with your life? ''
I was wondering if we should push the technological progress - because I love it - but I realized that...its going to happen, one way or another.
The answer to the question is...nothing. Nothing needs to be pushed. Our natural development will get us there.
I stopped my recalling short because I ran out of coffee. Also, I would be greatly surprised if anyone read my post.
So, if you're reading this, you are a happy surprise.
Feel free to tell me your thoughts.
And if you wish to tell me how stupid I am, please use good arguments. I'll use them to improve.
Thank you.
And keep following your callings.
In alignment
Amazing, wish I could continue on a conversation with this premise
Absolutely shocked at how I accidently stumbled upon this album. I almost stopped working on my project coz i couldn't find something good to listen to, but this album found me somehow. This is some legendary shit.
I don't know how I got here and I don't need a way back. This is it.
Listening to this beautiful album all the way from a small town of India called ranchi. 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
Been following their work since "Riza" album.

Message to the band "VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY"........I'm a musician from Australia. Heard your music for the first time the other day. Have absorbed so much of it in such a short time. Your music is brilliant, the blended instruments traditional and new, the ability to be a big band and reduced to a small band of 3, maintaining the essence of your music true!.
YOU GUYS ROCK! AND THIS ALBUM IS EPIC AND HAS STRONG FOUNDATIONS TO TRAVEL THROUGH TIME, YOUR LYRICS ARE INSIGHTFUL, INSPIRING, AND ENLIGHTENING.
THANK YOU 🙏👍👍👍
Hell yeah, they are like 1000mods or Tool even some Clutch in there.

Can't get enough of the first song. It reminds me of blackbird by Alterbridge

My girlfriend and I found this album on TH-cam about a year and a half ago and as a Music Fan and a record shop owner, I purchased the hell out of this album and have promoted and exposed others to this masterpiece.

how many people bought it? :)
@@dokanyon I've sold about 10 albums and prolly 5 CD's!
@@PapasRocknRollParlor that's great pal!
That's amazing. Hope you can keep selling and promoting great stuff.
As I listen to this stelar symphony I can feel my soul intertwine with the fiber of spacetime as my mortal body melts away into cosmic dust all the while a sudden sense of anew comes alive: the waters of the universe flow through me and thus I am reborn! I am one with everything, I am Aquarius: The Villager, the bringer of life and life itself.
@venomcarrie3 the feeling of what it was like to record this originally is still connected to the song then. I am glad you could experience it the way it was originally performed, while I was alone in a lighthouse.
Aquarius in Mythology was the one to serve the Gods in mount Olympus their drinks. During the great flood Aquarius had a central role, he was the one unleashed the waters. Metaphorically Aquarius is a symbol of inner spiritual enlightenment and how basically we can be better as people. I believe this is the meaning of this album. Peace!
I love greek
@@hayatsari7834 Aquarius is Latin. Hydrohoos is Greek.
@George V 25,860 years long "astrological ages" is hilarious and unprovable, especially because (according to NASA and Relativity) over that time each constellation will have moved 183,5 quadrillion km which means Pisces was not Pisces except at the end and Aquarius will not be Aquarius except at the beginning...
@@MikhalisBramouell By that time there will be nobody around to call it Pisces. Anything with a view would have a new name for that angle.Perspective is relative. Language is malleable.
@@fostxswire1600 Apparently ages are relative too. Quantum Physics disproves Relativity and Gravity btw so I don't believe any of that deep space sci-fi fantasy stuff you love. The future is Quantum.
I don't know if I'm your only Turkish fan, probably not, but I listen to this album day and night with goosebumps. Thanks for the quality music, neighbor!

The thing is i have never had a revelation so big in my entier life. Listening to this gave me back the hope that everything will be ok in my life.
It shoked me to hear so deep and meaningful lyrics, as well as authentic greek folk music combied in such a tasteful manner with metal. And also, listening to this at 4 in the morning, in complete darkness, made my imagination gone wild.
Thank you so much for your music. It made me happy in a low point of my life. Thank you!

Απο το 14 με το Riza έλεγα τι μπαντάρα είναι αυτή, αλλά δυστυχώς μάλλον θα χαθούν όπως πολλές Ελληνικές μπάντες. Και τώρα σκάτε με αυτό το δίσκο και τρώω μια φάπα ΝΑ!!
Μπράβο ρε παιδιά! Δεν ξέρω τι να πω.. Περιμένουμε πολλά από εσάς!
I knew about this album, and listened it in the past... not sure why it did not grab me back then, but I kept it in my car's playlist.
Something happened just before the end of the year of 2021. I was on a long trip, snowy everywhere, this album started and I decided to leave it going...
One week later... can't stop listening to it, few times manly tears of joy and revelation went down from my eyes.
As someone said in the comments somewhere: The more I listen, the more I feel becoming the man in the song.
Or, was I always him?
Cheers, the bagpipe sounds, that are also native to my nation are tearing my soul with joy.
Best wishes from Bulgaria, it is indeed the age of Aquarius starting...
Villagers Of Ioannina City - Age Of Aquarius lyrics
1. Welcome 0:00
Welcome, to a new age
Here comes the ray of Sun
Welcome to a new Age
fullness of time has come
Welcome..
Look at the stars
look at the signs
this is the start of something new
the Age of Aquarius
Here comes the Sun
glorius one
this is the start of new life
flooding has begun
2. Age of Aquarius 2:58
Stay close to the river and cry
and the river's gonna feel you're the god of rain
he's gonna worship you like god and creator for ages
And all the fairies of the forest will come
the wanna so you to the dance of night
this is the Age of Aquarius
I'm coming out of river
breathing out, I'm finally reborn
Rain is falling to the shore
dawn is coming, the night is almost gone
I came from where the Leo is rising
I've travelled through the space for so long
A forest nymph is calling for me
come along and I will guide where to go
Age of aquarius
We ran to the mountain
We've found an ancient temple with my name
Then she bowed and said these words
we were waiting here a thousand years for you
Now you must do something
to bring the light
Now you must do something
to change the world
Age of Aquarius
Returning again to mother earth
to set the fire and rain
I'm turning again the circles of time
to bring the Sun back again
3. Part V 11:41
Alone tonight, sitting in the candlelight
thinking again, of all my life and the words unsaid
you know i'm deeply repent
Walking around the streets of my family house
remembering again, of all my childhood and the dreams we've shared
my childhood came into an end
Time flies in circles and rerun
so fast, but time is an illusion and it bends
now it makes so much sense
And all those dreams in daytime
searching for the light
the saints were calling me in the night
they told me everything is alright
The voices keep on calling me
they're screaming in my head, all this time
to find the answers and fare
they were always there
Thinking and thinking how to find my way
I'ma standing on the gate
walking and say goodbye
see you on the other side
I came for recreation
travelled through space and time
all over the ages
the planets aligned
I came for the salvation
of soul and spirit and mind
all over the changes
my body revived
4. Dance Of Night 21:29
Awe tonight
the birth of new child
has come back to life
Watch the sky
planets are alligned
the stars collide
Feel the thunder
that cosmic thunder
here's the water carrier
Set the pyre
lift your spirit higher
dance through the fire
Dancing around
Dance tonight
spring has arrived
nature has revived
The Earth is high
longing for His night
the world has thrived
Dance together
break that mental tether
make that one step further
All together
dance for his arrival
ride the holy spiral
Dancing around
moving in circles
till the point that we reach to the edge of
the age of Aquarius
Singing along
along with the angels
with all the spirits and animals
become one with the universe
The Sun has finaly come..
Thats the new beginning
open your eyes
Embrace the new beginning
open your eyes
6. Father Sun 31:54
Look at the horizon
the Sun is reaching out
feel the air is changing
the light has finally come
Close your eyes and synchronize
with the voices of the past
Mother Earth is calling
calls for you to act
Always calling in for you
forever calling
never reaching you..
And I...To the Sun I pray...
Listen up my child
listen to my prayers
always look at the Sun
and keep reaching out
To the Sun I pray...
I came from the mountain
to wash away the fear
drank from the fountain
water crystal clear
I 'm the holy river
that rises from the past
came to deliver
and spread the golden dust
I'm the fire, I'm the rain
the air the seed, the dust
the golden grain
And I...
I 'm the Sun and Rain
Listen up my child
listen to my prayers
always look at the Sun
and keep reaching out
7. Millennium Blues 40:31
Strange days are coming
stand up straight my son
All streets are burning
stand up straight my son
You have to remember
life is just a ride
The voice that is inside you
that should be your guide
No fear, stand up straight my son...
Can you remember
once you had a dream
All kids were shining
dancing with relief
No thurst nor hunger
touching the supreme
Dreams becoming real
as long as you believe
No fear, stand up straight my son...
We ain't going nowhere
we're gonna stand for what is right
Always together
fighting for freedom to change our lives
We are the dreamers
we 're going to change the world
We are the ember
we are the light of the world
New day is coming...
8. Cosmic Soul 49:14
Heading to the Northern star
almost there
I'll be become a fire and rain
from the air
Diving to this sea of space
yearning for eternal grace
Bending throught the space and time
flying at the speed of light
Sailing to an open sea
I'm finally free
I am rising to the sky
like a sparkle in the night
You know that I'll be back one day
I'll be there
The morning of a brand new day
meet you there
With dreamers of a different world
surrounded by eternal love
In peace with perfect harmony
Thw dawn of age of Gold
Sailing to an open sea
I'm finally free
I am rising to the sky
like a sparkle in the night
across the sea
through the space and time
I see the the light
I came from another world
I've seen the light through darkness
Sparkle out of black hole
the joy out of sadness
I am the cosmic soul
the fire of every spirit
Trust me when I say these words
I've seen another living
everything goes in circles..
you have to save your soul
free your mind and breakout
find a place to call home
find your way and breath out
feel this spiritual love
the cosmic soul inside you
come out of black hole
ride the spiral, and fly
everything goes in circles...
9. For The Innocent 58:17
A song for the innocent
carriers of the light
for all the deviants
creatures of the night
for all the immigrants of life
all the underdogs
here's to the wanderers of mind
dreamers of new world
i will follow you to the end of the world
we will finally come to the age of gold
we will stand against all wrong
with all the strenght we 've got
and if we stand together as one
we will overcome
i will follow you to the end of the world
we will finally come to the age of gold
Thank you
So it's almost 10 PM here, and the electricity in my neighborhood has been out for hours due to a wind storm. I'm sitting in my back yard gazing up at the universe. The sky is so clear and bright. This is the perfect time and perfect place to discover this album. I'm about 15 minutes in and floating away into the ether. I don't wanna come down.
I feel ya
Wonder if you are still floating mate!

Yes exactly, I did the same thing 😅
Help me ! Im addicted to this album, its been 4 months now, φοβερο.
Much Love from Morocco to Greece

2 years later...
Holy. Cow. TH-cam recommended you, so I listened and I'm on the floor. Glorious! From the USA
Don't know how, but youtubes algorithm has been on point lately. I'm glad to have discovered these guys before it was 10 years too late like most bands.
First listen, very cool!
This is dope 🤙
Me too. From Hungary. Crying. Absolutelly masterpiece!!! The only one I could compare this is 666 from A.Child
I have the same feelings. From Poland.
4 millions views is awesome, but this masterpiece deserves much more.
Let us be the lucky ones then ;)
wrong; most quality albums and bands arent mainstream popular like Naxatras or 1000mods. not denying that those 2 bands arent quality but just saying it has views exact like it should.
For those who know. This set will be remembered, replayed and rejoiced. Cogito ergo sum
@@Sonic_sorceressI didn't say that.
They don't need recognition to be a good band, but they are a good band and they deserve recognition.
If they are successful, they will be able to continue playing music and we will be able to continue enjoying it. 😉
By the way, I love 1000mods. Take a look at these other bands, you might like some of them: Brutus, Toundra, Russian Circles, Jinger, Black pistol fire, Derby Motoreta Burrito Cachimba.
@@Sonic_sorceress
Absolutely love 1000 Mods! 😎🔥
Συγχαρητηρια στα παιδια.. Ωριμασε ο ηχος τους. Πιο βαρυς, πιο ψυχεδελικος αρκετα πιο μελωδικος κρατωντας παραλληλα τα στοιχεια και τις ριζες των ιδεων τους τα οποια τους εκαναν γνωστους και μοναδικους..
Δεν θα το έλεγα. Πολύ λιγότερο κλαρίνο και δεν θυμίζει πολύ το ιδιαίτερο στιλ του πρώτου δίσκου. Νομίζω πιο μέταλ ή τουλάχιστον έτσι φάνηκε σε εμένα.
@@adreasbrown7954 λιγότερο κλαρίνο οντως, αλλά κράτησαν αυτό το γύρισμα των δημοτικών τραγουδιών. Εντάξει δε θα μπορούσε να είναι το ίδιο. Εμένα μου άρεσε που το πηγαν ένα βήμα παραπέρα. Και πέρα από το κλαρίνο ακους και την υπέροχη γκαιντα! Γούστα από την άλλη είναι αυτά !!
@@adreasbrown7954 Ανεβηκαν επιπεδο με αυτη τη δουλεια.Εμενα με κανανε φαν τους με αυτη τη δουλεια,τα προηγουμενα δε με ενθουσιασανε και τοσο, χαβαλες...μεχρι εκει.Το καινουριο ειναι δισκαρα καμια σχεση.
Κι εγώ τον προτιμώ αυτόν το δίσκο.Ο ήχος τους πιο ώριμος.Λιγότερο κλαρίνο περισσότερο γκάιντα,αλλά έτσι κι αλλιώς και αυτό παραδοσιακό όργανο είναι.Προτιμώ δικά τους κομμάτια παρά διασκευές παραδοσιακών.Καλό ήταν αυτό στην αρχή για να τους μάθει ο κόσμος,αλλά τώρα πιστεύω πως ωρίμασαν αρκετά έτσι ώστε να μας παρουσιάσουν κάτι τελείως δικό τους.Πιο ψυχεδελικός ήχος,μεγαλύτερης διάρκειας κομμάτια που παραπέμπει σε stoner ροκ.Θυμίζουν λίγο και 1000Mods.Πάρα πολύ καλοί.
Είναι καθαρά Stoner. Αγνό, σκληρό, ρυθμικό, όπως πρέπει. Με σεβασμό στις προηγούμενες δουλειές του. Τα παιδιά εξελίσσονται, πειραματίζονται, όπως οφείλει να κάνει κάθε σωστός καλλιτέχνης.
Man Greece sure has the US beat with rock music right now for sure. This album sounds like one of those absolute classics from the more intelligent forward thinking "Indie" rock bands right around year 2000 or so. Like the album you throw on with a few chill friends over and just let play and enjoy. Good stuff gentleman. Perfect mix of energy, mood, emotion, awesome production while still being raw! And has that timeless sound to it. Bravo. And this is from a 42 Yr rock musician birthed in the heyday of seattle rock and still here and still hopefully bands like this will keep things going.
That's exactly the feeling I get from this album.
Please may you recommend some bands, I quite like heavy guitars and drums with awesome riffs but im coming from a metal background such as Gojira
@@natural8677 Listen to Manticora's song Canto.
I am a fan of rock music and if I need to listen to Greek rock, then that is what TF I am going to do now. I also feel it very difficult to enjoy new music. I can dig this! It's great!
This wasn't the kind of music I was trying to listen to at the moment... but it is now!
Exactly how I feel right now
Same. I was in a tech death mood but that changed once I heard this. It's real solid music 🤘
I book musicians all over the world… Just came out of the blue and I can’t move, or should I say I’m moving too much. What a wonderful discovery
Ok yeah, but seriously and with much respect, what the *fuck* is going on with Greece these last years?! They’re exporting blazing and muddy album after album and it’s amazing.
The Mediterranean is my favourite source of stoner rock for sure
Land blessed by THE bard himself, Apollo
what albums do you have in mind for example?
@@SenseiBerial Here's what I like:
Automaton-Talos
Naxatras-1
Green Yeti- Desert Show
Puta Volcano-Harmony of Spheres
The Curf- Death and Love
Universe217-Change
Screaming Fly- Trip to Venus
@@sonofnothing2714 thanks mate I will check these out, thank for the reply :)
Got the Vinyl, will hide it somewhere in the house and hope one day someone curious will make this amazing discovery.

The Greeks have done it again, what a beautiful piece of music.
Villagers of Ioannina City are up there with other exceptional Greek bands such as the mighty Naxatras, Breath After Coma, Planet of Zeus, Nightstalker etc. I will be sure to spread this album to people that understand what quality music is. In the period of next year this Serb will be playing these amazing tunes all over Changsha, China and wherever the Universe might bring him.
also check Tuber, Their Methlab, Deaf Radio, Puta Volcano and thank me later :)
@@dokanyon Already a fan of Tuber, thanks for the other recommendations dude, I'll be sure to give 'em a listen. ;)
@@JovanNecakov Deaf radio sound like Queens of the stone age and Puta Volcano remind me of Alice in Chains . if you like these bands , you will love them :) They are among the biggest bands in Greece at the moment. Enjoy
@@dokanyon Just finished checking the bands you suggested out. I have to say all of them are amazing, I especially dig Their Methlab and Deaf Radio, thank you again you wonderful man.
@@JovanNecakov Always a pleasure to share and spread music! If you want more Greek band suggestions tell me! there are so damn many lol :)
when tool meets olympus divines on top of Olympus…the band starts to sound their music epic in the sky.
WELL, MY FAVORITE VILLAGERS, I HEAR HEAVY METAL LAST 40 YEARS, SINCE 13, AND IT'S THE 1ST TIME I LET MY TEARS FREE WITH THIS KIND OF MUSIC...PLEASE, PLEASE GO ON!!!
Cheers Johno!
Greeks playing bugpipes since bc
The skill is soul rendering. The bagpipes and kaval, the keyboards echoing through space and time. "The arrival" is a love letter to everyone and everything.
I almost never comment on anything on the intrawebs but this album is amazing. One of the most epic sounding things I have ever heard. Simply amazing.

To be honest i cannot explain in words the way this albul makes me feel. It feels like the songs carefully bypass all of the walls guarding my heart to directly speak to my soul. It has been almost a year since a discovered this album and not a week has passed without me listening to it. No matter how i am feeling (depressed, angry, happy) the songs just hit it right, make me feel heard, listened to, alive. This album is up there together with the initial muse and evanescence albums that i always went back to for the past decade. Truly a masterpiece

I shall listen and worship!!! 🙏🏻

Since I discovered this album, I just cannot get enough of it. Too bad bands like this don't get the recognition they deserve.
well they were signed by napalm records after this, so I get they did get recognised.
@@GLMusic12 By recognition I was meaning, they should be more well known, brilliant albums like this only get heard by those willing to get away from the mainstream.
sunday night, i just saw such an interesting name in my suggestions. glad i clicked it... awesome record!!. my 74 year father is sitting next to me listening to it and telling me how good it sounds! thank you!
Ive listened this album 1-2 times a day in the last month. Cant have enough this.
Beautiful and strong music. Mad respect from Ankara / Turkey
Très bonne découverte de France 🎼. Le métal grec est toujours aussi fantastique 😉!Vive la Grèce 🇬🇷 🇫🇷 !!!😆🤘🏼🎸
I just cannot stop listening, it May be the best album I ever heard!! Much Love from the South of Germany :D

Unfortunately we lost the concert in Feierwerk , Munich, because of the f@ckin Covid .
I'm not sure if these guys were shot into the present time from the future or the past, but damn, this rocks.
Best random click ever! Super band! Greetings from Romania! 🇹🇩 Rock on! 🤟🏻
Listen to their album Riza.
Γειά σου my friend. I wish I was Romanian too, nice girls there :p
it is not fully random, but partially random, the recommendations and the shelf on your right is generated based on your history and correlations.
Ar trebui să-i popularizăm mai mult printre conaționalii noștri, poate așa se mai dezvoltă cultura muzicală și pe plaiurile mioritice :).
🇬🇷🍻🇷🇴 love it from Tomis - Constanța - Romania
something is going on in Greece this days very good black metal scene and this... holy shit ! hail Greece from the french speaking part of Canada
Must be something in the water over there
@@anticksss I'd say sociopolitical status has something to do. Positively for sure
@@saragonzalezjuarez9904 According to Aristoteles we are all political beings and we shape things around us with our mentality, choices and actions! So I guess the change of eras include also political changes and music is the best way to express it! Enjoy!!!
There was always a black metal scene, just not as apparent as some years ago.
@@dontmesswithdes5632 First we are part of nature, then we are political beings
I never really got into anything Greek in music apart from Rotting Christ. I certainly did not expect my second favorite Hellenic band to play such softer music, but there we have it. this is amazing!
since you like RC, try septic flesh as well ^^

I dont comment here at all but had to this time...
Listened entire album in one shot and It's a masterpiece... Impressed so much, different feelings i had with each song! Mind blowing... WoW
Warm greetings and hope to see you here in Turkey...
This band and album is fantastic. The lyrics are thoughtful and passionate. The instrumentals are excellent and patient, as if the artists playing them know they could play at a faster tempo and still be good, but that they are in no rush and by taking their time, they work in synchronization to create a masterpiece. Part V feels like a journey through a heart-felt confession and revelation
There is NO way this album is not written for me, just for THIS perfect moment
(2,4g Golden Teacher)
(3g Spunky Funky)
Aaaaaah you know :) i was on 3g golden teacher on a summer night on a beach with this playing in the background, that day was the peak of life ngl
Σας ευχαριστούμε άπειρα για αυτην την αλμπουμαρα, Villagers.
This album is the best thing that I found in 2022. THIS is art.
I have to say, after listening to this album for a couple of years I have come to the conclusion that this may be one of the best prog rock albums I have ever heard. Truly, truly underrated stuff
Its not underrated, 4 million views.
You guys have so much soul. I haven't listened to an album this much since Steely Dan Royal Scam came out when I was a senior in college. Thank you for the wonderful feelings. Please do more of these master works.
this is the greatest rock album i have heard in YEARS. at least a decade. no, more. WOW
ikr ???? so epic
you are absolutelly right
th-cam.com/video/I0zZondlFSA/w-d-xo.html
You.r very welcome. Don't forget to loud up before listening those stunning piece of music 🎶
I know this album came out three years ago, but going after personal discovery it's definitely my pick for my 2022 top list.
Discovered Mother of Millions last year, now I stumble upon this! There's a lot of greatness coming out of Greece as of late! The Muses surely are doing their work properly!
