Idk, I feel like all these singles sort of just sound the same. Was really hyped for some new HLB but these songs are sort of boring me. Brings nothing new to the table
Sweden produces good music....Europe , Roxette , ABBA , Meshuggah , Humanity's Last Breath, Allt , Orbit Culture , Nasum , Skitsystem , these are just a few I can remember while writing...Sweden has been giving good music to the many different types of people around the world ....
@@MegaLaban12345Unofficially it is lol. With all the bands Buster writes and produces for, he’s leaving a very distinct mark on modern heavy music. Similar to the mid 2010s and the “Putneycore” sound.
In an era of which our attention spans are short and we do not appreciate art anymore. We seriously need to appreciate this and the work/effort Buster and the guys put into this. \m/
That's definitely one thing I say when describing H.L.B.. Along with heavy as fuck, or brutal, I talk about how artistic the music is. I really appreciate that aspect of it.
@@thecauldronofdarkness1757 Best way I can describe newer HLB is just “overwhelming”. The new singles have an uncanny ability to completely overwhelm your emotional receptors and leave you awestruck because you don’t really know what to feel. Fantastic for the length of an album, but not something the average person could listen to constsntly.
I thought after their last album and Earthless nothing could be heavier...but MAN the ending with the off beat hi-hat and massive double bass was absolutely earth-shattering 🔥 amazing work guys!
@@moztar6247guitarist, he also writes most of the other parts of the instrumental and then also mixes and masters their songs. He’s one of the best mixing and mastering engineers there is imo
@@moztar6247 Buster Odeholm and Calle Thomer (also in Vildhjarta) are the guitarists who write everything for HLB. Buster started HLB, but after joining Vildhjarta on drums he’s taken a lot of influence from the band- and Vice versa. Both bands are heavily connected and influence each other.
The suspense is already killing me. 'Instill' scratched a musical 'itch' I didn't know I even had. Trying not to get my hopes up too high for this one 😂 Happy to report this new track "Linger" absolutely destroys. 6th listen and I'm starting to notice all the cool little details. The future of extreme metal is in safe hands.
Same, instill was the first 10/10 I've heard in a couple years. I've accepted the possibility that it will be my favorite on the album, but I'm hoping that there will be some close runner ups.
This is like when you have a revelation that shakes, or even shatters, your very core, and your perception of everything has to shift with it to fully understand it.
After Vildhjarta’s last album I thought „it cant get anywhere better”, after „Instill” I thought „it cant get fucking better”, after this song all I have to say is „THALL”.
So my gf wanted me to share some of the music im passionate about, and I was wondering, how do you get someone who likes 'happy music' poppy stuff to even start appreciating this? They'll only hear noise. I think it's hopeless x)
It's been awhile since a band has released music that has given me goosebumps with each new track that comes out. This coming new album is already metal album of the year for me.
Crazy to think this drops on the very day my dog passes away. Thank you for turning what I feel into musical form. This will be on repeat for awhile. Absolute banger as always.
I'm so sorry for your loss omg( I can say that I have clinical depression actually but idkw after both Instill and Linger I felt like wow I wanna live fuck that depression. So this is what makes thall so special I guess. Because it has such a crazy amount of powerfulness in just one song that it just absorbs everything we feel, it dominates upon our feelings. What an unimaginable ability, holy shit...
@@moonshelter3448 I think that is why I like heavy music in general but especially thall. It feels so massive and destructive that nothing can stand against it. Even all my problems and vague anxieties are crushed.
@@HeavyReign12 yes exactly it feels so overwhelming that I'm freezing in such an awe I couldn't even describe! It's like a gust of wind blowing the windows wide open so that they hit the walls! My god I love it!
Ashen is 2/2 now. If the album brings this level of quality and stifling atmosphere we could be looking at one of metal's greatest albums...and not just of 2023.
After having a really rough day, and dealing with depression my whole life, currently feeling very low, this song makes me feel seen. I cannot express my gratitude for you sharing your art. We need this now more than ever.
I think this is my favorite song from the album...intro kicks fuckin ass, chorus is catchy as fuck....outro with that bass is just massive. Lyrics spot on. THERE IS NOOOO LIGHT HEREEEEE!!! Love it.
@@RthereNEusernames Metallica sucks, vocally. I can't stand their singer, but any of their songs are infinitely better as instrumentals. That said, you completely missed the point, or downright ignored it in your response. It's not about how 'good' they are (which they are not). It's about how they're the only piece of metal most 'people' know.
@@silencedmaxim5889 Sure, I'm not here to debate what's entirely subjective. And idk, why is it a problem that they're the only piece of metal most people know? Seems like you're implying it's because of how "good" they are. I also was talking about most people that enjoy metal music, not just "most people" in general that aren't really exposed to metal music.
So much yes!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I know Buster gets tons of hype (for good freaking measure) but man this whole band is incredible. You guys rock, and thank you for this🙏
This because buster write lyrics and scream some of them to accent filip, write riffs , produce, mix, master, record bass and write it, and writing drums. He do the most of band
Since ''Instill'' I'm hooked. So I'm extremely intrigued. I've never counted this genre as a music. Like for eternity. Till ''Instill'' came out. It was a gamechanger for me.
These lyrics accurately describe how the song feels for me. It sets in, it hangs heavy There is no light here It’s setting in I feel the pain become me I am all caught up in this mix - what a treat for the senses.
The hype is so real right now! You guys are seriously my favorite band right now. Your music is so unique and the only metal really hitting the spot for me these days. Can't wait for more, got that box set on preorder 🔥
album of the year , i am done , i am absolutely fkn done with these tracks , there isn't anything that you guys have ever done that even comes close to this i am sorry , i love past albums , but this track and instill are god level , i am done , album of the year , literally done , what ? what is this ? what is actually this ? i have no words , this is cosmic heavy , brutal beautiful, serene and otherworldly , there is no current music out there that can touch this , your best work yet, i have never seen a band evolve this much to a point where they just display complete dominance and mastery of their craft , unreal
Man even thought the lyrics is kind of repetetive, they had really some emotional depth to it. Makes me wonder what kind of things buster have been trough
Oh, he's been through some shit. During an interview he said something like, "I just always wanted to make evil sounding music." and the interviewer kind of laughed nervously...Buster just sat there straight faced looking into the camera 😆👿
Great tune! I think this will sit finely on the album. Not a very long track. Doesn't overstay it's welcome. Great melodic side from HLB. Keeping it simple but heavy af.
Video was filmed inside of an atom
The team responsible for the visuals is insanely talented, this abstract imagery works so well with HLB's music
Turns out Buster does that too 😂😂😂
Video created by Tuomas Kurikka and Patrik Nuorteva. Finnish guys 🤘
These guys are in a band named 'Atlas', really great Finnish Thally/Proggy band
@bilbobaggins7075 Buster doesnt do the visuals. Its Riivata which is Tuomas and Patrik from Atlas. Tuomas is also in HLB though
Definitely going to check this band. It would be great to listen to Ashen on shrooms having these visuals as a background. I'd totally do it.
this is already album of the year for me
Yes.
No it isn’t
@@MegaLaban12345 yes it is😎👍
"Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had the best album of all time."
Absolutely!
Finally a third song we can listen on repeat!!! 🎉
Agreed
Same haha.
Buster out here redefining what it means to be heavy. This is absolutely insane.
Who's buster? 🤔

@@cokejones I realize we are just stating opinions here, but I think this is some of the best stuff I have ever heard.
THIS IS PURE BEAUTY OF HEAVY MUSIC I'm so in love with Linger now. Instill was just as amazing. What a band! They turned my world upside down omg
absolutely incredible!

The production is insane. Buster is one of the top tier mixing engineers out there in my book
What's proof is that he can make a note as low as B-1 have extremely high clarity.
The time signature changes and tempo changes are so subtle but hit SOOO HARD!
Thall: Tremendously, heavy, atmospheric, low, licks!
My face when 00:23 hits >:( and then 03:10 ohhhh fuck. The vocal harmonies in 00:39 are fire. Definitely album of the year
That Screeching riff starting at 1:18 gives me such goosebumps. What a track
So true
And the ending callback breakdown is such an emotional counterpart, it's like longing, pain and loss in a sound form
Oh this is gonna be great edit: that was incredible
I thought after their last album and Earthless nothing could be heavier...but MAN the ending with the off beat hi-hat and massive double bass was absolutely earth-shattering 🔥 amazing work guys!
What a blast... this album is gonna be massive
One of the most intense blackened #deathcore of the last years. Can't wait to hear the complete album. Awesome!
I don't think I've ever heard another mix that is this destructive, awesome stuff, love the singing too!
Same, man. Never before...
Same
Just wow... What a track. The hype for Ashen is even more real that i could imagine. Greetings from Spain, I hope see you one day here :)
2:08 is the concept from Sunset Sunrise. Same riff but slower.
Still pushing the boundaries of what heavy metal is known for every single time you drop new material. Excelent.
Buster is not human anymore. It's just a masterpiece.
You realize he’s not the only one in the band
@@ishay777777777Buster and Calle write everything, but ultimately it’s Buster’s band. There would be no HLB without him.

Naah man instill is still their best track to date
@@mannyblackstar Linger sounded way more similar to Instill than labrynthian so I hope that's the direction the entire album went.
The melody on this is amazing and I’m sure will sound even better in the context of the album’s entirety.
In what way
@@MegaLaban12345 a more melodic one obviously 🙂
I'm obsessed... This is incredible. Been listening to HLB and Vildhjarta on repeat
I hope Vildhjarta follows up their last record soon
gonna sleep next 21 hours in order to skip the anticipation
This is a masterpiece. It's brutal and beautiful at the same time.
This is like when you have a revelation that shakes, or even shatters, your very core, and your perception of everything has to shift with it to fully understand it.
Easily my favorite single so far, hyped for the album!
It's not published yet and I'm already headbanging
😂😂🤘🏻🤘🏻
Me too
I'm already horny
T H A L L
ashen is already aoty i am in love with this band
The singing growls are great. It draws an emotion out that I haven't really gotten from heavy music in the past like this.
Check out the last album of To the Grave it has this, so epic
thall
Humanity's Last Breath is my favourite genre
This is heavy magic. Everything in this song is amazing. THALL
Humanitys Last Breath never disappoints this new album is gonna be fire 🔥
Filip Will say it again… You sounds so amazing 👊🏼
After Vildhjarta’s last album I thought „it cant get anywhere better”, after „Instill” I thought „it cant get fucking better”, after this song all I have to say is „THALL”.
That last Vildhjarta album is still on regular rotation for me. It is a masterpiece.
Thank you for the goosebumps from this music.
1:42
"WHAT IZ ZIS"
Kinda wondering the same thing myself dudes. What the hell was that lol.
How do these keep getting better? Labyrinthian was already GOATed
So my gf wanted me to share some of the music im passionate about, and I was wondering, how do you get someone who likes 'happy music' poppy stuff to even start appreciating this? They'll only hear noise. I think it's hopeless x)
Its cool that they incorporate more melodies
heavy dehumanize vibes. i love this direction so much. thall
The new album is going to be crazy!🔥
"Eyes Forced Open". Again! Truly.. Freaking masterpiece!! :)

Know what u feel..: also have depression.. heavy musics give me comfort🤘🔥
Have a great day
I can totally relate. This music indeed absorbs my depression somehow.
I really felt the lyrics 😢
Why are you having depression?
NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR DEPRESSION. STOP SEEKING FOR ATTENTION
I can only imagine how excited Buster was hearing this after hearing everyone contribute their part
As with every HLB song it will grow with every listen. I can’t get it out of my head anymore!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every song is just spine chilling. These guys did it again. Aoty contender everytime. 👏👏👏
A bit disappointed unfortunately. Just didn't really get me to move at all. I'm still looking forward to Death Spiral next though!
This album is going to be a masterpiece. Aswell as a top shelf example of what extreme music is capable of.
Favorite track by them so far, wow...this one pulled me in where others somehow didn't. I kept trying...now I'm so glad that I did!
Seismologists are shitting themselves until one of them realizes it’s just the latest HLB.
thall
I need this, give it to me !!
hoping for more groove like labyrinthian, sooooooo good
god bless buster
Dude the album isn't even out yet and it's my AOTY already
I think this is my favorite song from the album...intro kicks fuckin ass, chorus is catchy as fuck....outro with that bass is just massive. Lyrics spot on. THERE IS NOOOO LIGHT HEREEEEE!!! Love it.
Less aggressive (at times) than other recent songs, there’s a vulnerability here. For sure a new level of emotional depth on this track.
The highs played on guitar sound incredible on this track, well done Buster you really have the pitch shifting dialed in 👍
Had to come back again now that my ears are healed up.
We need some light!!
LIGHT!!!!!
If this album doesn't make it to the very tip top of the metal charts I will be truly dumbfounded.
