Adalberto Sampaio if u do ur tease arch on him all his albums tell a story it’s like 4 but he’s working on the 5th they tell the story of Prill it’s very interesting how he made 4 albums to tell a story thru music like never been done before he’s a genius fuck lol 😝
not sure if this is intentional, but I like how he uses the spiral a lot, which represents growth and progress, and his albums are all surrounding a character who is on a quest to better his life
I think that Justin use of the spiral has more to do with how Junji Ito saw the symbol. Something that can represent progress yes, but also spiraling downwards, further and further into madness.
True, but generally the way that I see it, Prill is not intended to be the "good guy" of this story. He is falling further from the little grace he started with, and by the end of this I think he is going to turn into a monster. Maybe there will be a bit of redemption late into the story, but I feel like he is going to hit rock bottom before that happens. He is going to destroy everything he cares about, and everything with meaning just to try to better himself, and he is not going to take it in until there is no truly redeeming himself.
I am pretty sure the name "Hungry Lights" is even an expression of this. As far as I can tell, a "Hungry Light" is a light that burns so bright and so hot, it has to destroy and take from the other lights around it to achieve even more. And I think Prill is going to turn out to be that Hungry Light. But Justin's story is very complex and music is subjective. But if I am right, I love a good tragedy anyway.
I once heard someone say that the best bands break the limits of genre labels and create their own sound. You sir, have indeed done that. Someone else said that you were screamo while I was listening... Let's just say they have some knowledge of metal genres now (and how you are specifically none of them but rather just you).
Definitely one of my favorite songs ever. I don't know why, but I always come back to it. 12 minute version is incredible, but I freaking love your one-take videos
You need to hear Currents..they are best band imo.. currents- better days, currents- kill the ache, currents-monsters, currents- let me leave , currents- Shattered, currents- delusion, currents-forever marked, currents- feel the same, currents- my disguise...by then You should be obsessed n ready for their songs into despair, second skin,the rope,night terrors, poverty of self.... sorry for such a list but they are incredible...all great songs by them.
justin is one of my favorite musicians of all time i have been listening to all of his projects and songs but i always wondered why he disabled the commants and like/dislikes ratio and subscribers and now suddenly there is
Hi Justin, Please man keep working, you're gonna blow up everyone really soon. I really love your work ! I didn't see someone with as much passion as you in a while, you made me travel through your music.. I Felt it like something very intimate and it was really powerfull... Can't find the right words ahah ! Be strong !
Glad you turned comments on. Been waiting to post something for a while. Just wanted to say you're one of the most talented and badass musicians I know and I love all your stuff. Keep on jamming.
@josiah7775 he's dressed like that to depict Prill, the character he created that went on these high risk adventures. Once I realized that I got why he dressed that way.
now I AM impressed...... it's not often my attention gets dragged away from a bare male chest to focus on the vocals very often..... golly gosh and that guitar riff was fudging sublime! superb stuff Sir!
Dude this is fucking awesome. Keep making fucking music don't ever fucking stop, I appreciate your lyrics as a music writer and much respect for you man!
Rob mentioned I should check out your channel. I am quite impressed. Your vocals have a very unique and wide dynamic. I especially enjoy how you've combined two separate genres of music into its own unique caliber of performance. Well done.
20 mins ago i didnt know this guy exsisted. Now i cant stop trying to subscribe even though i already did. What you are doing is unique, extremely passionate, and by miles some of the best music ive heard in a while. Great work and keep it up!
This song will forever be considered by me to be one of the best ever. Gotta come back here now and again because a track of this caliber deserves more than one listen.
Holy shit dude. So I stumbled upon your 10 scream technique video and was seriously impressed. So now I'm stalking your channel and listening to all your songs. Fucking metal 🤘 I love your sound and the fact you do everything yourself is seriously impressive. ❤️
Holy fuck I love the way you sing, you put passion into your vocals and that’s really gonna drive me to be like you. I fucking love the song, please keep doing more.
Just discovered my favourite artist of all time!!❤ I listened to this yesterday for the first time and I can't stop hitting the replay button. This song made me cry😢❤
This is my new favorite song. Love the story, the emotion, everything about it. Patiently waiting on the next albums, really hope you find great success with this.
This Performance is so stunning.... All those emotions. Thats why i like your songs so much because they are all so special and so passionate unlike some other musicans please keep this great work up its truly a blessing for music loving people.
Oh god, I would put more than one like (thumbs up) if it was possible. This is soooo good. Every time I finish the video I genuinely scroll down to like but I can't , already did. I'm cursed
I don't know if I forgotten your TH-cam name, or if had changed ... But I am SO FUCKIN STOKED I FOUND YOU AGAIN 🤘There is NO other music like yours. This is art, a gift and METAL!!!
absolutely amazing dude.. i get this insanity vibe, switching from talking fast, to screaming and then whispering from 0 to 100 and 100 to 0 all the time. it's amazing.
did you end up checking out his website? That's what I thought hearing these stories and these songs. some sort of metal play. well it technically is the idea of his project, check out his page and read the information. The name of the man going on these adventures is "Prill", he depicts him through these costumes.
It's been 3 weeks since I discovered your channel Justin your songs stick in my head before I sleep and when I wake up. On my ride to work and when I come home I'm screaming haha(thanks to your 2 tutorial videos). I hope you hit it big someday, perhaps when you create a thing out of Prill. Keep up the great work I'll be doing the same till I am capable of creating something great rather than just random riffs. Cheers!
Lyrics:
"In the darkness, there's a glow
And I suppose that's the idea
So to the ground, stealth and swiftly I proposed
-On the chance, no one could hear me
Warry footsteps in the gray
But I’m not frightened
I would fear me!
And all this time, I'd never sank so low
That’s why I feel so far away
I'd one shot and all to lose
(My eyes were shut, my ears were set)
-No such thing as wasting time
(Not a patient man, so a penitent man)
My hands were coarse
And my heart beat with a sound
Like a stampede of horses
I’d no idea what was waiting there for me
That’s why I feel so far away
I'd one shot and all to lose
(My eyes were shut, my ears were set)
-No such thing as wasting time
(Not a patient man, so a penitent man)
Patience-my only move
(My eyes were shut, my ears were set)
And that slipped when I fell away
(Not a patient man, so a penitent man)
My god, I’m not okay!
Looking out in confusion, I had made a mistake!
I had jumped to conclusion
And there was no escape
-Not my best
I had sacrificed everything
I would not leave this place empty-handed again!
There was no retreat
I’d not be defeated by virtue
Believe, I’d push it
What a heathen to make an impression on me!
Introducing: the star of the show!
Dirty fingers and laughing
Your eyes could not lie
I held my back to a fiery stove
I was in ire-I was engulfed
All I desired?
-A slit of the throat
I was outnumbered-all of me burned
I would rip off this crown if I could,
But it branded itself to my skull
Felt cemented, my spirit was choked
The flames rushed in
I smiled-I smiled for you!
I'm impressed that I could not see it through this maze
Different stage, but the mask was the same
I felt numb
That fel-crown slipped off
My soul went quiet for the first and only time
What have you done for me?
This trust’s been lost
I am tired, and I am done
I don’t care anymore!
-Dreams of fire seared my cheeks
But I couldn’t feel anymore...
Has my heart turned into dust?
-No more tears anymore
Here’s to a father’s end!"
I hope my children play this when I die assuming I have children lol
Bro, you've got a Demented Operatic thing happening. Let Your Freak Flag Fly, Justin, you're doing something genuinely Interesting.
xThe_noJx 69th thumbs up!
This guy is really impressive, the sound and the voice range sound like something out of a medieval tale ;)
Well, from what I think, this is a medieval tale.
Adalberto Sampaio if u do ur tease arch on him all his albums tell a story it’s like 4 but he’s working on the 5th they tell the story of Prill it’s very interesting how he made 4 albums to tell a story thru music like never been done before he’s a genius fuck lol 😝
You are so refreshing that the world won't need 5 gum anymore soon.
You're doing something right when even Chin Chin is nice to you and gives you his blessing.
not sure if this is intentional, but I like how he uses the spiral a lot, which represents growth and progress, and his albums are all surrounding a character who is on a quest to better his life
Thanks , this comment cleared up some things I was curious about .
I think that Justin use of the spiral has more to do with how Junji Ito saw the symbol. Something that can represent progress yes, but also spiraling downwards, further and further into madness.
Arkadiusz Puchlerz
No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.
True, but generally the way that I see it, Prill is not intended to be the "good guy" of this story. He is falling further from the little grace he started with, and by the end of this I think he is going to turn into a monster.

3:07 when you have exams coming up, you have 4 assignment submission pending, your personal project is at a dead end, and your wallet is empty

"On this quest i had sacrificed everything, i will not leave this place empty handed, AGAIN!"
much love to u justin
TEX - تيكس That's gotta be my favorite part
نورت😂😂
For some reason he put "not my best", as the lyrics
ما توقعة اجد عرب هون أما اغنيه ماره حلوه
@@remrem8510 عجيييب
That crown almost looks.. fused to his skull..
Twas branded there my son
Twas branded there my son
its branded itself to his skull
It's not branded to em yet. He had to take his kaneki wig off ( I have the same one lol)
I think he’d rip that crown off if he could
I once heard someone say that the best bands break the limits of genre labels and create their own sound. You sir, have indeed done that. Someone else said that you were screamo while I was listening... Let's just say they have some knowledge of metal genres now (and how you are specifically none of them but rather just you).

my god, im not okaaaaaayyyy!!!!! 🤘🔥
damn, that was hella sick! keep up justin! 🔥
Scrolling through comments as I'm listening. And I read your comment just as It was on that part
He looks like a magical wood nymph… And I’m here for it. Love you Justin. Stay weird man.
Wait, we can comment now? Justin you're performances are astounding please keep up your awe inspiring work
Cole Beavers Yeah, he posted about it in the facebook group.
Adam Kimm ah okay thanks for the response
I’m pretty sure the lyrics was a curse lol because I’m absolutely obsessed with this song and it my first metal song I ever listened to.
Welcome to the metal community, bro. Hopefully you stick around
Welcome brother
Hope in the 2 years since this comment you have found a world of metal you love and if so welcome to the biggest loving community in music...
You need to hear Currents..they are best band imo.. currents- better days, currents- kill the ache, currents-monsters, currents- let me leave , currents- Shattered, currents- delusion, currents-forever marked, currents- feel the same, currents- my disguise...by then You should be obsessed n ready for their songs into despair, second skin,the rope,night terrors, poverty of self.... sorry for such a list but they are incredible...all great songs by them.
@@forevermarked5826 fucking love currents. The place i feel safest is a fucking epic album!
Bro I like this dude, a little weird but fuck it. I dig it for some reason.
justin is one of my favorite musicians of all time i have been listening to all of his projects and songs but i always wondered why he disabled the commants and like/dislikes ratio and subscribers and now suddenly there is
He decided to enable them again because in a post he created he detailed that it has limited the growth of his channels feedback and progress.
i dont know what to say... this dude is gifted...
I love the folk story telling sound this is more than music it's beautiful I could only wish to be this talented
So different from the album version. I drag race to this shit. Stay awesome Justin
and both are absolute fire!
One of the things I love about your music is the theatrical performance you add. I think being a true artist requires this passion
Justin is forsure one of the most talented dudes I've seen. Hungry Lights is 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Justin, Please man keep working, you're gonna blow up everyone really soon. I really love your work ! I didn't see someone with as much passion as you in a while, you made me travel through your music.. I Felt it like something very intimate and it was really powerfull... Can't find the right words ahah !
Be strong !
Glad you turned comments on. Been waiting to post something for a while. Just wanted to say you're one of the most talented and badass musicians I know and I love all your stuff. Keep on jamming.
I love how much emotion you put in all of your work. it shows how much time and effort you put into these lyrics
Made me cry, what an insanely passionate performance
If you ever get the chance to listen to A Father's End live, you have been truly blessed.
N. Onion iam the true ninja onion
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@josiah7775 he's dressed like that to depict Prill, the character he created that went on these high risk adventures. Once I realized that I got why he dressed that way.
Yeah those last two and a half minutes are very heartfelt
I FUCKING CRIED DUDE! SALUTE
Me too. From the point where his soul went quiet I get goose bumps... And by the last line I have full tears coming down my cheeks.
now I AM impressed...... it's not often my attention gets dragged away from a bare male chest to focus on the vocals very often..... golly gosh and that guitar riff was fudging sublime! superb stuff Sir!
Deserves so much more views.
There's so much power in his voice it's incredible
My God, you have talent beyond limits.
Dude this is fucking awesome. Keep making fucking music don't ever fucking stop, I appreciate your lyrics as a music writer and much respect for you man!
I have such a hard time picking between this and Cowardice for the more emotionally impactful song. Both very intense on that front.
I don't think I could ever get enough of this song. Your vocals are sick and you can feel every syllable. Vocal goals... Definitely. Blown away.
The passion you throw into each song shows.
This is the most incredible song I've heard in the last few years....
I can't stop listening to this song, you're a true genius and your music is mindblowing!
Rob mentioned I should check out your channel. I am quite impressed. Your vocals have a very unique and wide dynamic. I especially enjoy how you've combined two separate genres of music into its own unique caliber of performance. Well done.
This is just f*cking amazing. It's a mix of hate, dispear, hope and nostalgia.
Keep the great work, my friend!
Beautiful performance justin

This should have at least a million more 👍of these! INSANE
have you ever done a play at a theater?
did you end up checking out his website? That's what I thought hearing these stories and these songs. some sort of metal play. well it technically is the idea of his project, check out his page and read the information. The name of the man going on these adventures is "Prill", he depicts him through these costumes.
THIS IS FREAKING PERFECT
