Found you guys on The Daily Doug from 5/19/22, great music, rock on!
Yeaaah, thanks Tristan, that's cool ! :)
What a coincidence 😀
Same for me, like many. Happy indeed I ended up here. Think I'll stay 😎
How cool is this... long live Altesia
Haha thanks Lauro 😁
@@Altesia After listening for a bunch of times, I'd like to ask if it was intended to record it without much emphasis on drums. I think it is common to listen to prog metal albums that drums are a little louder, and with specific care on how each part is created, in order to make drummer fans very happy and want to study each section.
@@lauronunes7832
Hey Lauro, Yann the drummer here ! In the artistic battle between me and the boys, I obviously lost the privilege of having my drums mixed above hahaha! All jokes aside, most of the time in prog music, we serve the music, so sometimes, individual instruments can be placed intentionally (indeed, so good guess from you) below in the mix if it sounds better in some sections... I take notes tho, that you might need a drum playthrough version of the album sooner or later, or even some drum charts and stems ? ;)
@@Altesia hi Yann, thanks for the reply. I agree that serving the music has the priority. Being a drummer, I usually end up listening more to bands in which the drummer historically stands out, like dream theater and others. Huge fan of Aquiles Priester who played in Angra, as well. That's why they became influential! But Altesia is a very cool band, congrats.
5 months and im still listening
Thank you Chris ! This is why we play, to share our passion for music ☺️
This album is an absolute journey
And thank you for this absolute comment ! 😁
I was one of the Roadies yesterday and I fell in love with this band! Remedial sentence and Liar's Oath were my favorites, unfortunately bought the wrong CD, but oh well, it still has some amazing songs, especially Amidst the Smoke. Good luck in Portugal guys !
FInally found the song I was looking for! Sleep Paralysis! You played it before Liar's Oath yesterday and it was amazing
Thanks a lot man, we enjoyed playing for you guys in Poland for the very first time as well ! :)
@@Altesia Really can't wait for you to play near Poland so I can drag my friends to your concert
I enoyed the hell out of Paragon Circus, but this is a major step up. Altesia will be remembered as a paragon of progrock for years to come.
Hopefully you're right bro :D Thanks a lot
super album ! merci Franck de me l'avoir fait découvrir
Gettin some serious Starless vibes from Sleep Paralysis and loving it
Really !! That's cool, glad you liked it ! :)
Exceptional ! I’ve been a Prog fan since the very early days and it’s rare that I run into an album with such fresh ideas and outstanding musicianship ! I can’t pick a favorite song as they all have unique merits !
THIS is awesome Howard ! Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm man !
Just saw your appearance on Doug Helvering’s show, The Daily Doug. Glad to see you get further recognition for your great music ! I have had Embryo on rotation along with my other Prog favorites for four months now. It is SUPERB !
Exit Initia has some awesome throwbacks to the previous album and it's SO cool!
Thank you for making this album
You're more than welcome my friend ! ☺️ Yeah the writing process of this song was really fun 😀
Thanks Doug Helvering ! Je fais moi aussi parti du lot des nouveaux suiveurs de votre groupe. Comme Doug, j'ai aussi apprécié l'écoute de cet album (je cours chercher l'autre). Merci pour ces mesures musicales qui reviendront surement. Longue vie a Altesia :)
Yes merci chef 😁
Love the music you guys put out! The circus-esque sections in Sleep Paralysis put such a smile on my face when I first heard it. This is definitely on my "favorite albums of all time" list.
Wow awesome bro !! So glad to read that !!! ☺️☺️☺️
Awesome! I don't know why I didn't remember Sleep Paralysis from the live at Salem, but it's such a good track! It even has some unexpecT vibes to it. I also recommend to check them live, they have a very good stage presence!
Thanks a lot Irydion !!!! Yeah Sleep Paralysis is definitely one of the most fun song to perform live as it's a crazy one ! :)
The Best ever wow wow
The Remedial Sentence is my absolute favourite, probably my favourite song of yours so far! ^^
The entire album is amazing though, great job guys!!!
Hey Antoni ! Awesome, that's cool to know ! We love that one a lot actually but as Exit Initia is the big epic of the record, people usually rather talk about this one when they pick a particular song !
@@Altesia I love Exit Initia as well!!! I just think I need to listen to it fully a few more times to fully digest it, it's always the case with me when it comes to epics, but it's definitely an epic adventure and full of memorable moments, but hear me out, The Remedial Sentence is probably my favourite song of 2021 so far, it hits all the damn right spots for me, it's so so so good 😍
@@AntoniZeppelin Haha you're awesome man ! Good luck digesting this giant piece ! 😀
@@Altesia I've listened to it a few more times, it truly is an epic in every sense of that word. Oh. My. God. I can't wait to see you guys live. You can become so so big in this genre!!!
@@AntoniZeppelin Hopefully you're right brother ! 😀 No one knows what the future holds ! 🔮
Sweet!!!!
Sleep Paralysis is amazing but really can't pick my favorite.
Cheers from Colombia!
Brandon, thanks a lot ! 😀 The album is still pretty fresh so maybe you'll know which one is your favourite after a few more listens ! 😉
Amazing job, love the chord and ambience changes, I have enjoyed it very much. I am a hardcore Genesis fan, but I also enjoy ELP, Yes, and I dig Dream Theater and Haken. Great job, keep it up, and congratulations!!!
Hey Salvador ! Well, looks like you're a die hard prog fan haha ! Ouf first album "Paragon Circus" has more of a vintage sound. Given your top bands list, you might enjoy this one as well :) Thanks for your support !!
@@Altesia Already listened to Embryo in one go while doing some work and it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Cool to have it linked up on your website!! Paragon is next on the list. Will spread the word :-)
Fantastic. Any fan of progressive music would enjoy both albums. Very fun and creative.
Really awesome find , Keep it LOUD
For sure we will :D Thanks dude !!
Just listened to entire album and I really like it. Excellent keyboards blended in. Excellent band...
Glad you like it my friend !! :) Thanks a lot !!
I love you guys. Keep pushing. I know its hard especially establishing yourselves during and after the pandemic.
Yeah, launching a new band just before covid hit was not the best idea haha, but when you have a music in your head, you have to put it out ☺️
C'est un festin ! Et ce visuel ! 🤩
Eh bien bon appétit ! :D
Album of the year for me, I can't believe I missed this in October. I must get this CD on my shelf soon, heaven knows I'll be spinning it a lot next year. One of the best gems I've ever found while randomly sifting through bandcamp prog metal.
That's awesome man, thanks for your massive support !! :)
I’m here because Pete Pardo recommended you and this album, he most certainly was not wrong, it’s awesome, well done guys, I will be ordering it !
Thanks a lot Neil, we appreciate it ☺️ We owe Pete a lot ! 😁
@@Altesia it’s your album that wins fans, although I do listen to a lot of new music because of Petes site, I will finish listening to your new album, order it and then search out your other album, great work guys
Both of your albums now have been ordered, will enjoy playing them once received!
@@neilstoker8798 Awesome man 😁 Thanks for your support 🙏
Encore et encore et encore et encore et encore...........
Bravo les gars!!!!!👏👏👏👏
Merci chef ! Ravis que ça t'ait plu !! ☺️
Thank you for a great concert in Ostrów. Good luck guys
Thanks a lot, it was great to be there :)
Félicitations pour cet album. Première écoute concluante. J'ai été transporté durant ces 57 minutes que je n'ai pas vu passer. Franchement continuez comme ça ! Ça va aller directement dans mon Top 10 de l'année !
Génial merci Seb, tu feras encore sûrement de nouvelles découvertes au cours des prochaines écoutes 🙂
Im so excited to listen to this album
I loved your first one
Thanks Chris !! It's all yours now ! 😉
@@Altesia i enjoyed it beginning to end. Im sure I'll end up listening again very soon.
Beautiful album! Come to Poland someday, I would love to hear you live!
That would be awesome man ! Someday hopefully, thanks ! ☺️
Niiice !!
Tankiou ! 😀
Man I've been waiting so long for this release and it did not disappoint! Incredible album once again, that closer is just killer. Great atmosphere start to finish. Heavier yet prettier then the debut I think, though I'm not sure which I like better yet.
Awesome Ian, thanks for your feedback man ! 😉✊
Plus j'écoute plus j'aime. Magnifique !
Haha tant mieux !! :D Merci !!!
this album was a grower over the last couple of days, much more so than paragon circus... but by god has it grown on me. phenomenal album fellas, keep up the amazing work. much love from england.
Super cool brother ! Thank you for that man !!
@@Altesia all the best music grows on people. you’re doing some great work that can be appreciated by both classical rock listeners and newer metal ones. if a band can get my 65 years old auntie to give them a go you know you’re hitting your demographics 😄
really felt the haken inspiration in your music. great stuff
liar's oath into the epic is the peak of the album IMO
Great ! :D Yeah Haken are a big influence indeed :)
En boucle cette après-midi...
Une tuerie cet album!!!!
♥️♥️♥️
The first time I heard Paragon Circus I had no idea what to expect from you guys, and it completely blew me away! Listening to this album for the first time, having heard Paragon Circus dozens of times, I had a good idea of what to expect, but it still managed to blow me away! Any time any of my friends ask for some good new music Altesia is my first response, and now I've got another whole album to recommend.
Hey Trey !! So cool man, we're glad to get that kind of feedback ☺️ Enjoy the new album and thanks for spreading the word to your friends 🙂
Je viens de vous découvrir grâce à la chaîne de Doug. Une des meilleures découvertes depuis des lustres. 👍
Ah yes génial ça fait plaisir merci beaucoup !! :)
Idem !
Pareil grâce à Doug!!!!
J'adore!!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟
Joli ! Un petit côté musicalement vintage que j'aime beaucoup! On dirais un album pré 2000 je trouve, hâte d'entendre ce que vous allez sortir encore, big up!
Salut Hugo ! Merci pour ton retour :) Celui a un côté pourtant plus moderne que notre premier album, "Paragon Circus", qu'on t'invite à découvrir si ce n'est pas déjà fait ! :) A+ sur scène, d'ailleurs on est en tournée en ce moment, n'hésite pas à passer :)
There's just something about it. I find this band endlessly playable. Can't wait for the next one.
Working on it, buddy ! :) Thanks a lot for your message :3
👍🙏👐🙏
OMG
🤘💪
Du lourd !!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best avant grade metal albums ever in my opinion
Damn man, many thanks for your comment !!! Let's try after garde metal now :D
Écriture touchante ,compositions transcendantes ,un talent et une présence scénique indéniables.
Embryo est l'album de l'année!!
Hâte de vous revoir en concert!!😘🤟
Wow ça c'est du commentaire !! 😁 Merci à toi ça fait très plaisir !!!! À une prochaine sur scène alors ! 🙂
8:00 Opeth moment
hearing more and more of the haken influences each listen 😁 i must be on my 10th listen by now.
Cool man ! 🙂 Enjoy !
Beutifull
Je suis là grace à Doug, et c'est du très très bon ! Et puis ça fait toujours plaisir d'avoir d'excellents groupes qui viennent de France ;)
Génial, merci l'ami !!!! 😁
Decouvert aujourd hui whaou tres haut niveau
Great album excellently produced. Musicianship is over the top excellent. Wish all the best now and in the future. Come to the U.S. I will definitely see you in concert. PEACE!!
Absolutely. Same.
We would LOOOOVE to come to the US my friend 😀 Thx for the support !
Wow Nice music
🙏
Bravo les gars !
Merkiiiii :3
Super ! Je vous ai découvert grâce à Didier Merlateau et franchement je suis pas déçu... Je vais en parler à mes potes fans de prog
Haha super merci beaucoup !!! Tu as deux albums à rattraper 😁 Merci pour ton message ! 👍🏻
@@Altesia ya pas de quoi et en plus dans l interview vous avez parlé de soulsplitter un groupe que je connaissais mais que j avais oublié alors merci ! D autant plus que leur dernier album sorti récemment est une tuerie !
@@ladrum6623 Oh oui Soulsplitter c'est du très bon, on adore aussi !! ☺️
super groupe bordelais de surcroit :) , vu au SALEM pour leur premier représentation de l'album . très bon souvenir . bonne chance les gars pour la suite !!
Merci Fab ! On joue tous les ans au Salem donc n'hésite pas à revenir nous voir là-bas, ou ailleurs ? :D On en garde toujours un très bon souvenir !
Soy de Chile ,exelente musica en todo esto de la pandemia u otro , la inspiracion fluye en la creacion de melodias que llegan a elevarte .gracias gracias.
Muchas gracias Isabel 🙏🤘
I'm fan of DT, OPETH and BTBAM．I love the music 🇯🇵
Thanks a lot my friend ! ✊
14:40 is some absolute gold guys!
☺️🙏
❤❤❤ i need more shit like this...
Je vous ai découverts par Doug également ; j'ai acheté vos 2 albums instantanément. Vous êtes brillants, j'espère que vous allez continuer ainsi. Vos 2 enregistrements sont géniaux; il va falloir quelques écoutes pour siffloter les sons par coeur, mais ça vient déjà :)
Et si vous pouvez passer en live dans le nord est de la France, ne vous privez pas ;)
Merci François pour ton retour dithyrambique ! :D Une date dans le Nord, c'est en projet ! On aimerait beaucoup ! A bientôt sur scène ;)
ur facebook ads paid off, yall. i'm here ;P
Haha awesome ! 😁 Enjoy the record my friend ! 🤘
Someone recommended I give a listen to you guys and I must say. Initial listen to this album I enjoyed, so I decided to give Paragon Circus a listen. Holy Crap. I never bought music before on first listen before, but I did for the debut album. Everything was unexpected, a sax solo in the first 10 minutes followed by a violin solo in metal? Hell Yes. However, I will say this album doesn't hit me quite like the first one. I hear the influences and great musicianship. Clément curious, have you taken vocal lessons? I'm no expert, but if not, I think it may go a long way because you guys certainly have "The IT Factor". I hear a lot of Leprous, but vocals does seem a bit nasally to me like you are singing from the front. I mean it's going to be tough to be compared to Leprous because Einar Solberg is so unique expect to be critiqued as such. I like parts of each song that I hear from the debut, so I know the potential. I think also, I'm just not a huge fan of blast beats which is just a personal taste. The melodic soloing and ambiance with sudden progressive changes is my wheel house and I do get that with the epic track at the end. Probably because I hear some call backs from the first album in the song. :) That being said, don't let individuals sway you in any way. You guys be you. Good Luck to you guys, I wish you success. :twocents:
Hey man, Clément writing. Thanks a lot for your words, especially about Paragon Circus, we still like it a lot. As for the vocal lessons, I haven't taken any, but I'll probably take some in the near future cause singing live or in the studio is really different. Otherwise, I don't really mind being compared to Leprous or Einar honestly, we like them and I guess they were a big influence a while ago, but we are 2 really different bands with different universes. But yes, Einar is a huge singer indeed !
@@Altesia Excellent. I didn't want to come off as a jerk. Glad that you answered. It really is amazing stuff. Not if, but when you guys get asked to tour in the United States, I will be going to a show. Cheers.
@@Arrow2theACL That would be awesome man !!!!
@@Altesia For what it's worth. Like most progressive music, this album grew on me like a massive hurricane. So much fun and the 21 Epic at the end to tie everything in. I find myself listening to this one just as much as the first now. - Chad ;)
An interesting album. I rather enjoyed this
Thanks man ! :)
I wish you guys had vinyl
We should have some, one day 😅
C'est remarquablement bien composé. Reste plus qu'à affirmer votre personnalité musicale et prendre un peu de distance par rapport à vos influences (Haken en tête, Opeth ensuite, parce que ça s'entend parfois fort fort ;-D) pour vous faire un nom, et peut-être aussi paufiner la stabilité de la voix (mais ça, c'est juste un peu de travail).
Bonne route!
Merci pour ton retour !! 😁
Come to think of it. The singer kinda sounds like Stolas from helluva boss
composition is great! Although as someone else said it, vocalsw are a bit too nasal
I wonder when are they gonna do another album.
We're working on it mate 😊
C'est un peu flagrant le rip-off sur la première mélodie quand même hahaha
Sinon la suite c'est vraiment top ! Belle progression les gars :)
@@Metalicsound013 Oui c'était le but, reprendre le même thème en le transformant et en lui donnant une portée plus lumineuse en accord avec le concept de l'album alors que le thème de Reminiscence est beaucoup plus sombre. Exit Initia étant le pendant opposé de Reminiscence ça a été composé dans cette optique. Merci pour ton retour !
спасибо тебе за прекрасную музыку СЛАВА УКРАИНЕ СЛАВА ГЕРОЯМ
Thanks buddy !! 😁
