Thats so vague and could mean anything. Cling onto something more specific or anything for that matter…Because that is all you will do in life is cling onto something.
+Trent Blaser-Welch where is that ever referenced in their lyrics. Nowhere do the lyrics ever make even a tangential reference to Meteor, the Lifestream, or Aeris.
One of my favorites off Matriarch. Cool to see them make a music video for it, but still sad that they didn't play this live when they came to my city this Summer. They better next time!
@@royalmusic5s100 this songs pretty old they don't play it live much anymore and the video game the title of this song was based off of was remade recently so they need to play this song again.
@@nmj7towa recently no one is playing anything live anymore... so please be patient. But i know the phenomenon of artists not playing certain songs anymore
I've been listening to VOM since 2010ish and I couldn't be happier to see and hear the direction they've taken their music it's been rad watching them grow as musicians
I didn't care for Veil of Maya prior to Matriarch, but their new sound is just amazing. They blend melody with metal so perfectly, the resulting sound is gorgeous ❤
+Popabuddy1 Damn. I actually disliked Deathcore in general when I first heard of VoM, but The Common Man's Collapse REALLY got me into VoM. I even liked their All Things Set Aside demos. Matriarch blew me away also. I have no idea how they wrote those interesting riffs.
i have been listening to this songs for months and i cant get tired of it...i love the lyrics and the melody...it is the best rock song i have ever heard...period.
Man, Lukas is freaking awesome!! When I heard that Brandon left, I was sure these guys would suck. Then Phoenix released. At the time, I thought it was ok. He had a sharper edge to his voice. Something Brandon didn't have. Then I heard Mikasa and I as blown away. Lukas added moreof a darker edge to the sound but also made it more melodic. He's got an amazing voice. His ability to scream/growl and sing are freaking amazing. But I would like to see a more darker sound on their next album like Teleute was.
Everyone is complaining that this album is nothing like The Common Man's Collapse, well I mean... that album came out 8 years ago so it's not like they would stay the EXACTLY the same. Bands like to progress and change so why do you all gotta be so sour? Enjoy the music if you can dig it, if not maybe look somewhere else instead of hating on something all these guys put their effort into, SHEESH.
The last minute of this song just gets me dude... I don't think I ever really put too much thought into aeris's character until watching this video though. As she is holding her necklace and clearly struggling with something (probably realizing that she will have to die for the planet, and accepting it)... It feels silly to almost be brought to tears thinking about a video game character, particularly when presented by a djent/prog-metalcore band, but damn, I gotta own it. The fact that much of the song is primarily in a major key (which is so atypical of metal), almost hints at the touch of joy that Aeris presumably felt at the thought of sacrificing her life for the lifestream. Despite losing her own life, knowing that it would be for the purpose of saving the planet, and cloud, and even to a small extent out of a forgiveness to Sephiroth for his loneliness, misdirection and rage at his abandonment... She is basically the embodiment of sacrifice, forgiveness, and acceptance, and she accepts it with such grace. Such beautiful storytelling.
Salvatration Halex I just enjoy my fair share of clean vocals, personally I like screaming but it's over-saturated.. 99% of the bands I click on youtube these days will most likely be just screaming. It's too common. I enjoy someone who can actually sing.
Love this album. I was super happy when youtube randomly showed Veil in my suggested videos and I was like..... NEW ALBUM SICK. Love the references in the titles.
The best of the veil of maya is the contrast of the 2 voices with guitar melodies, also the bass you hear great new riffs, all very well prepared, gratz
loving this new VOM ... being an anime fan myself, this is overwhelming :) thank you guys. you give us the most precious gifts that save us from insanity-music.

I started listening to VoM at [id] and this music is nothing like it, it sounds like a different band. That being said, it's not bad. Just completely different. I like both. Probably still like [id] and Eclipse better, but this is cool.
I was hesitant at first cause of the new sound and clean vocals but it is nice and fucjing futuristic add hell this is rhe future happeni t right now in front of our eues

Danggg, I haven't listened to these guys for a few years now. A lot has changed. I dig it, just very surprising. It seems they've toned down the heaviness to stretch their music to a broader audience.
I've seen the Lifestream, the power of Holy Materia, the only thing that could save Midgar from the Meteor spell casting by Sephiroth...oh wait, shit that was another Aeris...
+Jeremy Floyd Thank's for the cool suggestions! :D I really liked the boyish tone of the Good Tiger singer, but damn Corelia's singer was very skilled as well. The third band wasn't really my cup of tea, but the singer was good there too
BrianPie666 is right. Also, I completely forgot about Stu Block from Iced Earth and Into Eternity! Those are two bands that I definitely recommend for wailing vocals and great guitar work. Check out "The Vocal Range of Stu Block" video on TH-cam, it's pretty crazy!
So walking around with one ear bud in, my 4 year old niece stops me. Wants to listen to uncle's headphones. Well just so happen to be this song was on, and she started listening to it and got a big ol smile. 🤘
Im battling addiction and being sober, this song gets me through relapse. "I am finally awake, this is the end of A nightmare".
Thats so vague and could mean anything. Cling onto something more specific or anything for that matter…Because that is all you will do in life is cling onto something.
@@mikesulyvahn7143 ??????????? wtf is your problem man
The Final Fantasy VII references.
Are beautiful.
The only reference is the title.
+Alec Lee and, you know... the lifestream repelling Meteor
+Trent Blaser-Welch Lol right?
+Trent Blaser-Welch where is that ever referenced in their lyrics. Nowhere do the lyrics ever make even a tangential reference to Meteor, the Lifestream, or Aeris.
+Alec Lee We're talking about the music video here, I think.
Randomly searched Veil Of Maya and this came out 2 minutes ago. Wowza.
+Blood Bath & Beyond aware
Pissening
how many of us do you think there are out here... brb check it
+Tidewalker YES, PLEASE TELL ME. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING SINCE OCTOBER, FOR AN ANSWER, SOMEONE TO PHYSICALLY TO TELL ME IT IS OK. WHY NOW ??
+Braden Lloyd HOW IS IT, THAT I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT..?? KEL33
2:26 and on is still one of the most beautiful, chills-inducing things I've ever heard in my life
Best part of the song. You ain’t lying
One of my favorites off Matriarch. Cool to see them make a music video for it, but still sad that they didn't play this live when they came to my city this Summer. They better next time!
That chorus is so powerful
So when everyone gets back to touring these guys need to play this song twice as much now because of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Hm wdym brother?
@@royalmusic5s100 this songs pretty old they don't play it live much anymore and the video game the title of this song was based off of was remade recently so they need to play this song again.
towa7 oh I thought it was a reference to the aesir gods in Norse mythology lol.
@@nmj7towa recently no one is playing anything live anymore... so please be patient. But i know the phenomenon of artists not playing certain songs anymore
Wtf does this song have to do with final fantasy??? Besides nothing.

I didn't care for Veil of Maya prior to Matriarch, but their new sound is just amazing. They blend melody with metal so perfectly, the resulting sound is gorgeous ❤
+Tyler Rowley They were amazing before Matriarch too. Eclipse is pure gold.
Same
+Tyler Rowley I didn't like their older material after my fist few listens, however, after giving it a few more tries, it was totally worth it.
+TheSpartanS196 yes! I love Matriarch but Eclipse is perfection
+Popabuddy1
Damn. I actually disliked Deathcore in general when I first heard of VoM, but The Common Man's Collapse REALLY got me into VoM. I even liked their All Things Set Aside demos.
Matriarch blew me away also. I have no idea how they wrote those interesting riffs.
These guys and Periphery are truly leading music into a better future.
BuryTomorrow12
should listen to Skyharbor
BuryTomorrow12 tesseract owns periphery
Lyrical Jones that's your preference
Don’t forget intervals
BURY Tomorrow - it also comes in my list of my favourite metal bands
i have been listening to this songs for months and i cant get tired of it...i love the lyrics and the melody...it is the best rock song i have ever heard...period.
I just discovered this song and it is REALLY good, I am amazed!
Final Fantasy VII HYPE
+P Gray (Versus) imagine VoM doing the FF 7 II battle music xD
+P Gray (Versus) that structures album
🙏
that fucking outro give me goosebumps no matter how many times i listen in loop.
Just such an amazing tone in his voice
It’s transcending I tell you
if you can see them live do it they kick ass
i'm going to see them this saturday in Belgium with Born of osiris ;)
Me, next Tuesday in Madrid :)
I saw them at a show where they opened for After the Burial, and they totally stole the show. and that's saying a lot--atb is amazing imo
these were the first band I saw live and they were awesome xD
shyguytrevis hahaha same though! Lukas is so good live
The entire " Matriarch " album is a masterpiece. I can't stop listening to it!!
Years later and this song is still absolutely beautiful
Man, Lukas is freaking awesome!! When I heard that Brandon left, I was sure these guys would suck. Then Phoenix released. At the time, I thought it was ok. He had a sharper edge to his voice. Something Brandon didn't have. Then I heard Mikasa and I as blown away. Lukas added moreof a darker edge to the sound but also made it more melodic. He's got an amazing voice. His ability to scream/growl and sing are freaking amazing. But I would like to see a more darker sound on their next album like Teleute was.
The way he sings "finally awake". This song slaps
Clean vocals with screams is what i'm most drawn too. I love the mix, I love this band.
This is tight
And hot...
Damn, Volumes.
Like my sister
7 string bass. like wtf
+Eric Sawada Never enough strings.
+Eric Sawada It's cause some of the songs in the album go down to F# so he has it tuned: F#BEADGC
+Eric Sawada Search Obscura - Akroasis, aside from drumkit they have everything 7 string lol
Albert Suchan nah even the drummer has seven pedals ;)
+Robert Hill that was gold lol
this dude is probably the best extreme metal singer right now, along with sam carter
Always like the way u choosen the music 🤘🏻🤘🏻
One of the best metal songs I've heard in a long time. Reminds me of why I got into these kinds of bands
and this is how you guys compose clean vocals .... this is beyond amazing. never had a thought that this band still got so much to offer ! love it
as long as they keep those amazing high heavy vocals, I cant be mad
This record is fucking phenomenal. I liked them before but this is just took them 20 steps above their older stuff. This is amazing.
Everyone is complaining that this album is nothing like The Common Man's Collapse, well I mean... that album came out 8 years ago so it's not like they would stay the EXACTLY the same.

Enjoy the music if you can dig it, if not maybe look somewhere else instead of hating on something all these guys put their effort into, SHEESH.
ever since i heard this song, i constantly replay it cause it had by far one of the best guitar melodies I've ever heard. Just warms your day up! !!
The last minute of this song just gets me dude...
I don't think I ever really put too much thought into aeris's character until watching this video though.
As she is holding her necklace and clearly struggling with something (probably realizing that she will have to die for the planet, and accepting it)... It feels silly to almost be brought to tears thinking about a video game character, particularly when presented by a djent/prog-metalcore band, but damn, I gotta own it.

Such beautiful storytelling.
I NEVER Liked Veil of Maya before.. Till I heard this new album. Fucking DOPE.
+Peter Lanza same
+Peter Lanza You're the reason bands keep coming towards a singularity of all essentially being the same.
Salvatration Halex I just enjoy my fair share of clean vocals, personally I like screaming but it's over-saturated.. 99% of the bands I click on youtube these days will most likely be just screaming. It's too common. I enjoy someone who can actually sing.
Peter Lanza That's a warped perception of metal. Most bands have a singer. It's actually rare to not have one.
+Peter Lanza same here bro
Love this album. I was super happy when youtube randomly showed Veil in my suggested videos and I was like..... NEW ALBUM SICK. Love the references in the titles.
Lifestream and modern metal go unexpectedly good together :)
Probably my favorite track on the album
Ya same here ...this was there last good album to be honest.
The best of the veil of maya is the contrast of the 2 voices with guitar melodies, also the bass you hear great new riffs, all very well prepared, gratz
one of the best songs i've ever heard, the bass and the voice are just outstanding and the end of the song is just thrilling.. amazing work
favorite song off the album!!!
im really happy with the progress these guys made from unbreakable to this.
unbreakable is on their third album dude, they had a lot of progress before that.
NasonJewton, can they not progress after unbreakable? lol thanks your input Captain
awesome clean vocal :O
loving this new VOM ... being an anime fan myself, this is overwhelming :) thank you guys. you give us the most precious gifts that save us from insanity-music.
omg that riff at 0:25, so good!! reminds me of the old erra a bit :)
same!
Amo amo essa música demais ... Thanks Veil Of Maya ❤️
this is godlike, def my favorite song off the album
beautiful song !!
This is one beautiful metal song.
those runs at the end.... oh my god so fucking pretty.
Heavy and bittersweet! So beautiful!
This song is maybe the best they ever made, this album is fucking sick
+TheKenshinEmo you fuckin wot m8
+TheKenshinEmo listen to lisbeth
I got the whole album it's the first album I ever bought I know it by heart, these dudes made a solid album
+TheKenshinEmo they made a lot better music before this crappy album, sorry
+neardaRk don't hate, appreciate
Great album all around and Natsumi is so beautiful...she is perfect for this video.
My favorite Veil of Maya song (and I actually love the Common Man's collapse, not just the new stuff!)
The riffs are so catchy in this one
Check Those in 2024 are still listening to this song
🫡
🙋🏻♀️ here
The whole album.❤
Just found them in July 24'
It’s the year 4024 and we’re still jamming this piece
I'm not crying, I just got some heavy emotions in my eyes, that's all.
This song is beyond epic
I'm so glad you guys found the guy that fits your emotions.
Aeris"
Have faith and you won't be left behind
Haunted by the thoughts of a failed life
Self realize
There's a message embedded in my mind
I see it over and over
Every time that I shut my eyes
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
This is the end
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
This is the end
We will live
And forgive the mistakes they've made
Surrounded with trust
We won't make the same
Self realize
I am finally awake
Self realize
I am finally awake
We fill with hope
I am finally awake
This is the end of a nightmare
Haunted by the thoughts of a failed life
Leave behind the thoughts of a failed life [2x]
This is the end
We will live and forgive the mistakes they've made
Surrounded with trust
We won't make the same
Self realize
I am finally awake
Self realize
I am finally awake
Our lives will fill with hope
I am finally awake
They've only foreshadowed our own
Have faith and you won't be left behind [3x]

My favorite song atm. Amazing.
2:27 has to be one of the best riffs of 2015
The end reminds me of something Issues Woe Is Me would do. Pretty sick.
Weebcore aahhaa
Jk ilove this album
lol nice one xD
+EVERMAGGOT Lol, people are gonna wonder why if they don't listen to the veeeery end
+BolFelix true, the ending was the best part for me
+BolFelix lol or if they don't recognize some of the song names.. Mikasa, Nyu, Lucy, they clearly are based on anime characters
clearly? like you know anything about anime, you jsut read a comment you stupid fuck. Pretty obvious when you use your real name fuckwit.
Que musica , que instrumental , que banda .... Congulations !!
I just beat the game and this is right in the feels. For Aeris!
Came to check up on you guys 5 years later. Boy has the sound changed. I am not upset though.
I started listening to VoM at [id] and this music is nothing like it, it sounds like a different band. That being said, it's not bad. Just completely different. I like both. Probably still like [id] and Eclipse better, but this is cool.
Autumn Elegy check out The Common Man's Collapse. It's close, if not better than id
ayyy never saw you commented here before. OSRS ftw
Benjamin Haworth they have another album before that as well. The mix is awful but it's got some cool songs.
Veil of Maya is the only band I've ever been happy to hear that they added cleans.
The mixtures of Deathcore and Metalcore this band uses is beautiful.
Yeah slightly deathcore
Djent
I was hesitant at first cause of the new sound and clean vocals but it is nice and fucjing futuristic add hell this is rhe future happeni t right now in front of our eues

This is undoubtedly the best metalcore song in the last decade.
Your opinion tho, most of people probably heavily diagree
Kinda has that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" vibe (Chelsea Grin)
its so beautiful melody
The bassist djents more than everyone else right now
Bonita canción con un excelente mensaje ❤
Finally! So good:)
2:49 is perfect.
I never really cared for this band before. I think it's a good change they made. I love it!
love the final fantasy 7 touch :D
Damn, this song is so good 🖤
One of my favorites Post-hardcore, Metalcore ever songs.
Danggg, I haven't listened to these guys for a few years now. A lot has changed. I dig it, just very surprising. It seems they've toned down the heaviness to stretch their music to a broader audience.
what a minute..this is about Final Fantasy 7??the game???
yes, not the whole song but yes :)
Zenny what???that's crazy.
+Ryan Moore Listen to three fifty dude, by VoM. There's a breakdown where they use the beginning of Jenovas theme.
raj hundal well do.
the cereal
I'm in love with Natsumi Suzuki
I've seen the Lifestream, the power of Holy Materia, the only thing that could save Midgar from the Meteor spell casting by Sephiroth...oh wait, shit that was another Aeris...
Song is actually named after said Aeris/Aerith, which is why this video has so many references to the Lifestream, Meteor and whatnot
+Riccardo Turcato I was actually waiting if Sephiroth was going to stab the girl in the video. lol
+Huhbuhduh no way?! I bet Riccardo didn't get that until you told him.. what with all the explanation of references in his original comment..
so many years later and this shit still hits!!!!!!!!!!
Rody Walker, Spencer Sotelo, now this guy. STOP SPAWNING SUCH GOOD ASS TENOR'Y SINGERS OUT OF NO WHERE
+Devonshire Pee There are other good ass tenor metal singers out there. Check out Good Tiger, Corelia, and Thank You Scientist
+Jeremy Floyd Thank's for the cool suggestions! :D I really liked the boyish tone of the Good Tiger singer, but damn Corelia's singer was very skilled as well. The third band wasn't really my cup of tea, but the singer was good there too
+Devonshire Pee Check out "I am Abomination". Incredible vocals and guitarists shred!
BrianPie666 is right. Also, I completely forgot about Stu Block from Iced Earth and Into Eternity! Those are two bands that I definitely recommend for wailing vocals and great guitar work. Check out "The Vocal Range of Stu Block" video on TH-cam, it's pretty crazy!
+Jeremy Floyd omfg. thanks for mentioning Good Tiger. i've never heard of them. they're fucking amazing. Thank you.
Yeah! Los esperamos en Guadalajara!
So walking around with one ear bud in, my 4 year old niece stops me. Wants to listen to uncle's headphones. Well just so happen to be this song was on, and she started listening to it and got a big ol smile. 🤘
wow such a great song, music, voice and lyrics as always!
1:26
WTF DUDEE 🔥
😏
definitely one of the best song in the album!!
My boyfriend loves this band I'm happy a video came out
My nonexistent girlfriend loves this band
+Brendon stacey ok?
+Laura Voitik Don't you understand a basic joke?
+Laura Voitik I don't know.. I thought we were both just writing pointless comments?
+Brendon stacey well I'm sure you could of done better than give a cynical reply Laura.
beautiful video, Fx are really good !, the colors chosen fit perfectly with the music !
perfect.
itd funny that they barely showed the guitarrist, only the bassist
Watch the Unbreakable video the bassist isn't even in jt lol
I know right !!! Thought it too
+Erik Tails He's got a nice bass tho no wonder why they wanted to show it
Also he looks like thor
+Brandon Youngblood because he wasnt in the band yet, Higler was the bassist on ID and left right after, then after a little while Danny joined.
One of my top favorite albums of 2015. Good shit.
Don't know why but the ending makes me sad 😞
It’s the reverb lol
Marc is an awesome guitarist.
"I miss it, the steel sky"
she is ridiculously beautiful.
3:00 on has a Tyler Carter vibe to it
My all time favorite of the band 🔥🔥🔥
