Great to see that VoM are not afraid to have fun : - Intro riff with a strong Parkway Drive (Sleepwalker) energy - Sweet and nostalgic synthwave interludes - Even more nostalgia from the Iron Maiden part - Face-melting ending breakdown And surprisingly, it still sounds like them. Well done lads
I was iffy on this song in particular, but after listening to it here and there and I gotta say I really did appreciate it a LOT more. And plus I went and I had no clue that was the trooper riff.
Hell no. I hope they release the whole album in single form, that way every song gets the attention it deserves and the band will also make more money!
A lot of bands are going this route and just doing mostly singles and then an album with all the singles into one album with maybe a few newer songs on it.
@@mauricemotors8207 because I love VoM, doesnt mean I have to sugarcoat how I feel about their new releases. Being a fan doesnt mean you have to love every track they come out with. Also I'm pretty sure you cant either (weird jab).
On first listen, this song actually caught me off guard because it definitely has a poppier feel to it. That said, after multiple listens I cannot get enough of this song. This is how you incorporate heavy pop elements into metalcore the right way. The chorus is unbelievably catchy and then that iron maiden riff straight into a sick veil of Maya breakdown was incredible
@ShimmerySound I was thinking wage war. Their last two albums including the brand new one are just such low effort pop sounding b.s. with whiny, boring choruses. This is how it's done, though. Leave it to veil of Maya to just crush the blending of the genres like that. Makes the new wage war album look so bad in comparison
@@jacksonislegend idk this is pretty poppy. I definitely prefer the Brandon era of VoM but I’m glad they’re still creating, good for them. This just isn’t my style
@@evanmeyer989 bring me the horizon is trolling everyone that hates them. Lol. I applaud there genre bending material. Hate if you want but they can jump in any style and do it better then the band that actually are in the scene.
@@infernapeDLS What does the age of the song got to do with it? I think it sounds more like Sleepwalker than The Trooper🤷♂️ I don't think it sounds at all like The Trooper
This has got to be one of my top 5 Veil songs ever. Oh my lord. So much energy, so fresh yet so VEIL. Feels a tad experimental but it feels like they've already mastered it. AND LUCAS. GOD DANG. He's got some of the most solid melody / hook writing in the industry atm. Literal 10/10
Oh that buildup into the 'Trooper' homage into the breakdown..... So fucking fire😁 Everything thing about this song is fantastic, filthy time changes, fantastic mixing, great electronics ambience synths, awesome vocals, guitars slaying it, sick drums Let's GOOOOO!
They deserve a grammy for most creative breaks. The trooper homage is second only to the riff they made out of that one guys periphery review. That being said, every section of this song is 🔥 too. I love this band.
@@beratsamil Can always count on some parts of metal comment sections to have some pedantic bickering lmao. It's like the 5th or 6th law of thermodynamics I'm pretty sure
Admittedly, such a big fan of the Eclipse era of VoM but they've consistently continued to impress me with their incorporation of progressive metalcore. This track is such a multi-phased track and really doesn't sound nearly as "generic" as certain things on False Idol and even Matriarch. This shit's tasty. Continuing to prove they're one of the best in djent and making no apologies about it. So many clear influences here!
ID and Eclipse are probably their best work hands down…… however i disagree…..i feel their new stuff is horrible. i tried really hard to like their past like 3 albums….i can’t. at least we have the older albums to jam out to
Danny with a headless 7-stringer??!? Most badass rig of all time. Like the ear candy and build to Trooper Tribute. It’s a tribute not a rip-off…. Marc has shown love for Maiden MANY times, attesting inspiration..
Literally same😂 cant believe its been since 2017 for VOM. 4 years is a long time but it doesnt feel that long. Lol super excited for what these albums are going to be🤩
This band is unreal....after all these years and still making such badass songs. I remember writing this band off back in like 08 or whatever it was....I was wrong....so good.
Saw them live first w Trivium/In Flames back in 2012 before they dropped Eclipse. Never seen a single guitarist play the parts of two so flawlessly. Changed my fuckin life forever!!
What a birthday has been all my youtubers uploaded, hit the bars with friends i haven't seen in years and one of my favorite bands uploads a music video this might've been my best bday so far 😅
A very pleasant new track from VOM! Love the new direction and more cleans yes please! Outrun is definitely a strong single! Look forward to the album! 🤘🤘
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 sup Jason! How u doing? U hear Dying Wish debut album? If so what are your thoughts? I f-ing love it! And what about Invent Animates EP? U excited for November? With Silent Planet, Imminence albums plus Like Moths to Flames New EP that was JUST announced
I am just glad that the metal community is being supportive on this and isn’t bandwagoning along with cancel culture! I love you guys, music is anything and belongs to everyone !
First time hearing them ever at the Afterburner tour in Buffalo. Pretty sure they played Nyu, LeeLoo, Mikasa, Viscera , Outsider , and this gem right here. Melted my face right off. Instant fan 🔥❤️💰👊🏼
@@Vyngraven Or idk, you could like just come out from under that rock you're living under and not accept mediocrity from a band that's capable of so much more?
As much as I love this band and always will, this music is so far from the veil of Maya that I fell in love with so long ago. It kind of makes me sad. I remember hanging out with mark and buying him a beer talking talking before his set, now look at him. What an amazing journey it's an amazing journey it has been to see this band grow. I do miss the old school djent they started out with though. Lol
@@Ssjcloud3 Shit, how was the show? I wanted to go to that date but I had already bought a ticket for St. Pete and idek if I can go to it now. Honestly bs considering how much they modified the lineup. Nothing against Polyphia btw, but I really wanted to see Issues and AAL. If you or anyone wants to buy it from me then lmk.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 it was triptastic. We sung the instrument part of champagne and screamed for minutes. Love polyphia. They blow your mind even if you dont like them. I like aal but polyphia more. Seeing we came as romans and devil wears prada this weekend. Worth it.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 well its house of blues saturday. Good luck. They have a lot of parking outside. and u need a negative covid test or vaccination proof.
Veil of Maya is the only band I can't hold myself back from "dancing" to. Headbanging, jumping, whatever. I just realized I was doing it at the bus stop and had to stop myself so people don't think I'm a loon.

The trooper goes djent, I dig it
I was about to comment; "Someone call Nik and tell him we got new Veil", but damn bro you don't fuck around 🤣
best description yet, Completely agreed.
nickolas of the night, always around the metal music videos...
Say, I know a guy who did that...
I found most of my fav metal bands watching your vids by you Nick... Thanks man for the awesome horizon. And your an amazing guitar player musician.
Never thought I would hear Parkway Drive's sleepwalker and iron maiden's the trooper in the same song..what a time to be alive
My thoughts exactly lol
same here !!
I didn't pick up on sleepwalking at first but I definitely hear it now
lmao
I thought I was the only one who noticed the sleepwalker bit!
It goes from Veil Of Maya to Veil Of Maiden back to Veil Of Maya love it
The musicianship to pull that off is really incredible, they blended the older style guitar so perfectly with the heavy and that little solo towards the ends was 1000% Maiden inspired. This is so amazing!
true!!!!
Its goes from Parkway Drive Sleepwalker to Veil of shit to Iron Maiden
@@DBlackrider veil of shit??
@@DBlackrider Here we go 🙄
Great to see that VoM are not afraid to have fun :
- Intro riff with a strong Parkway Drive (Sleepwalker) energy
- Sweet and nostalgic synthwave interludes
- Even more nostalgia from the Iron Maiden part
- Face-melting ending breakdown
And surprisingly, it still sounds like them. Well done lads

1000%

So sad this is what they've evolved into. If you've ever listened to older albums you'll understand.
They are so creative! I love how it has old metalcore vibe while having their own style od modern metal
The lead and the solo 2:27
I need a new album already, they just keep teasing us with random singles
Ah yes, the ol’ Vildhjarta release tactic
They've mentioned they're kind of just pumping music out whenever they feel like, I guess we'll find out if an album is in the works or not shortly
agree
Hell no. I hope they release the whole album in single form, that way every song gets the attention it deserves and the band will also make more money!

2:44 The Trooper. I just love how they used the inspiration on the bridge. So beautiful
Man this is the most "different" song they've put out in a while. Awesome
Be honest, just say its trash. Not "different " just whack
@@christophernazario2375 Well not everyone's opinion is that it's trash

I can hear some synthwave / retrowave vibes in pre-chrous. That’s sick.
I would imagine why the track is called “Outrun”. That’s another name for that whole genre.. I’m digging it! :)

Omg im not the only one!
Glad I wasn’t the only one
Sounds like the exact riff to me. I haven't listened to the trooper in a while tho.
@@crowing3886 not exact, but close
That's like Beautiful Oblivion levels of pop, right next to a smash that'd sound right at home on False Idol. This album is gonna be fucking wild.
Beautiful Oblivion was incredible, so I second this 🔥🤟🏻❤
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that got huge Issues vibes from that chorus.
That intro is pure energy, the chorus is so welcoming and that ending breakdown is disgustingly deceptive I love it!
Wish that breakdown at the end went on forever
That Iron Maiden - Trooper-esque solo is life! Another killer track!
The Midnight vibes during that chorus! Sick song!
I feel ya, man! ❤️🤩
Veil of Midnight
The Midnight?? As in the retro synth band??
@@karlos_marxican-godless-co1712 If you like that band, listen to Gunship.
Max cruise is a great band as well
That "The Trooper" Part did my neck so dirty man. Damn, Metal music gonna be great again.

Oh my lord.
So much energy, so fresh yet so VEIL.
Feels a tad experimental but it feels like they've already mastered it.
AND LUCAS. GOD DANG. He's got some of the most solid melody / hook writing in the industry atm.
Literal 10/10
This song is so refreshing, seriously can't get enough of it! Catchy enough to sing, with a catchy solo, and then the unforgiving breakdown. Wow!
Oh that buildup into the 'Trooper' homage into the breakdown..... So fucking fire😁
Everything thing about this song is fantastic, filthy time changes, fantastic mixing, great electronics ambience synths, awesome vocals, guitars slaying it, sick drums
Let's GOOOOO!
I came back here to say I saw this band 2 nights ago and they were absolutely the best band live.
They deserve a grammy for most creative breaks. The trooper homage is second only to the riff they made out of that one guys periphery review. That being said, every section of this song is 🔥 too. I love this band.
love VoM, such a refreshing band constantly evolving. Seamless transition from Maiden to Tech breakdown - Okubo da man
On god dude. 🤘🏽

Admittedly, such a big fan of the Eclipse era of VoM but they've consistently continued to impress me with their incorporation of progressive metalcore.

however i disagree…..i feel their new stuff is horrible. i tried really hard to like their past like 3 albums….i can’t.
at least we have the older albums to jam out to
Sounds pretty generic lol.
False Idol had way more interesting songs than this
Lol false idol an matriach are so much better then this lol. Let's hope this was a weaker track on the album
How in the fuck could you think False Idol sounds generic lmao
You're out if your mind if you think anything that isn't Pheonix on Matriarch is generic. False Idol, sure, but Matriarch???
Danny with a headless 7-stringer??!? Most badass rig of all time.
Like the ear candy and build to Trooper Tribute. It’s a tribute not a rip-off…. Marc has shown love for Maiden MANY times, attesting inspiration..
Maiden + parkway + synthwave??? This is the best song they’ve ever put out IMO. Incredible work gentlemen 🤘
I believe you mean djentlemen.
I agree this is their best song yet
1:20 is one of the coolest fills ive heard for a long time. Elegant.
Maaaann! That trooper dual guitar 🔥
The Trooper was the song that got me in to metal so this was beyond dope to hear. Awesome homage!
I'm just waiting to VoM and Volumes to drop a new album
Literally same😂 cant believe its been since 2017 for VOM. 4 years is a long time but it doesnt feel that long. Lol super excited for what these albums are going to be🤩
Volumes album Happiness? Releasing November 5th. New single “bend” Oct. 8th.
These new singles get me more and more excited for a new album, whenever it happens
This is the most variety I've ever heard in a VoM track and it works terrifyingly well 🤙🏼🔥
I loove that choppy dissonance breakdown and THESE fast oldschool licks in the pre-breakdown.. whaat? VoM is OP. Can't wait for the new album!!
all four singles released are unique on their own! I like this new direction!
This band is unreal....after all these years and still making such badass songs. I remember writing this band off back in like 08 or whatever it was....I was wrong....so good.
OMFG!!!! Veil of Maya is back! 🔥🔥🔥
Saw them live and the guitarist was nothing but energy!!
Saw them live first w Trivium/In Flames back in 2012 before they dropped Eclipse. Never seen a single guitarist play the parts of two so flawlessly. Changed my fuckin life forever!!
Outrun The Trooper 🔥🔥🔥
Damn this was an interesting direction for VoM. Love that crunchy guitar at the end. I can't wait for this new album.
AMAZING SONG & Veil kills it live as I have seen them in concert they are brilliant as you'd expect!
When 'Parkway Drive - Sleepwalker' needs more notes and a drop tuning...
Edit: ...and also needs 'Iron Maiden - The Trooper' for good measure.
That's exactly what I thought about after hearing the first seconds of the song :D
Edit: And that Trooper part too haha
I commented about sleepwalker just now and went scrolling to see if anyone else had mentioned that haha. Howdy friend
I immediately thought of PWD too.
Instantly thought of Sleepwalker lols
lol 10 seconds in knew it's from parkway drive
This is the very first song I’ve heard from this band,this is gold!🤟🏻
These guys never fails to amaze us. What a sick song. And that Trooper riff is just unbelievable.
I hope the whole album sounds like this! I fucking love this! Can't stop jamming it. Been a long time fan too since the beginning
That outro riff keeps sending me!!
Can't wait to hear the new album. Whenever that drops. I'm sooooo ready for it.
Holy shit. That last breakdown was mind melting hahaha I would watch a playthrough just to see how that was played. Solid track, boys!
We're tf have i been without hearing this gold
the groove is real with this one 😩
Love the way the bass carried the chorus in contrast to the softer vocals. Very very good. I'm all about this sound.
I'm so glad I stayed up later than I had planned! I've never tapped a notification so fast!
Veil of Maya pulling a For Those Who Want to Exist never thought i'd hear the day, also Lukas pulling off R & B is a total mood.
What a birthday has been all my youtubers uploaded, hit the bars with friends i haven't seen in years and one of my favorite bands uploads a music video this might've been my best bday so far 😅
Happy Birthday, Joshua! 😊
Happy birthday
I can feel the good vibes, Happy birthday buddy!!
Happy birthday bruh
It's my little brother's birthday too I just sent this to him :D happy birthday buddy!
Saw them for the first time in Chicago. Marc's stage presence is out of this world.
Damn, they're getting out of their comfort zone. And it's really2 good.
I'm digging it. Very different, but still clearly Veil of Maya.
I hope they keep making the music that makes them happy.
A very pleasant new track from VOM! Love the new direction and more cleans yes please! Outrun is definitely a strong single! Look forward to the album! 🤘🤘
Literally so obsessed with this song. Imagine an entire album with this style of metalcore blended with synth. 🔥🔥
