This is easily my favorite song of all time. I love how you incorporated EMD-type elements into Metal. The Synth, Metal Drumming, singing, and your amazing guitar are a dream combo!! Also, love the intro of The Reckoning for the same reason!! I would love to see more of these types by you! Here are some of my dream combos!! - Reggaeton (Like Daddy Yanky/Fonsi) meets Fraser Edwards, - Piano-heavy EDM (like Alan Walker/K-391/Vicetone) meets Fraser Edwards, - Remix of Dance Pop songs by Fraser Edwards (with those drums and guitar of course!!)
Great music, and I absolutely love the style of the video - the gritty soundscape along with the incredible art seemingly made with an AI, which does nothing but add to the slight sense of unease with the slightly off characters and grey tones, with the bright colors seeming illusory and false as though they both do and don't belong in the picture - a real, but seemingly false hope, a light you know is there but one you can't quite seem to grasp, just like in the lyrics. An additional touch, which I don't know if it's intentional is that the skin tone of the characters get slightly warmer over time, just like how the lyrics portray a life that is still wounded, but healing at least, after making it's narrow escape. On top of all that, credit goes out to the great audio work that has been done - the art was made to complement the music, and it is easily recognisable from the slight noise-effect on the vocals, along with the dynamic, but still subdued guitar, which only sometimes gets more sharp and colorful, along with the rapid, slightly pale drumming creating a chaotic, and fast-paced grey soundscape with a gritty feel. This is being complimented with what sounds like a more high-pitched synth or Glockenspiel with very short notes popping in your ears like a sped up music box creating the contrast to the rest of the soundscape, in the same way the bright colorful droplets on the canvas contrast the grey world of the art. Applause all around. Happy I found this from your adds on TH-cam :).
That is the longest TH-cam comment I've ever read haha. Thanks for your elaborate and high IQ thoughts on the video and music, it's cool to know someone has taken the time to think about my work and write about it in such an academic way! 🙂
Artwork, Video, Production, Mixing and Mastering by Fraser Edwards. Anything you can't do? Friend, you are a renaissance man . Random thought: Wonder what Leonardo da Vinci would be jamming if he was alive today. I know he wrote peoms, but he played music too.
oh my goodness. this is so energizing! the amount of positive energy of this song is incredible. one of the best songs i've heard in my life. truly a masterpiece
Why on earth wasn't this in my Newsfeed three months ago??? Man you deliver each and every time you release something. Love your work - your variation and creativity are just incredible! 🤘
Wow, I don't think I turned away once while watching, which is not conducive to me trying to edit my BBQ videos while listening to music haha. Absolutely mesmerizing video and the music is epic as usual!!
this song is great and was released the exact same minute my toxic relationship told me that she wants to hurt me and i cant escape x.x i already listened a 100 times to it and i will do at least a 100 more
@@FraserEdwards thank u (: im kinda starting a new life atm and its scary but also exciting and it feels so right. like a liberation. and this song expresses this feeling perfectly! thank u for it
Insane, extreme, catchy, seems that you are re-discovering your roots. I really loved your first album and I can hear the similar energy! Such a banger! Also, the AI art mixed with dark pop vocals and your insane PM guitar is something beautiful and unique.
Just found this. It’s so good and I was able to share it with my wife who isn’t into more traditional metal. Great song. Anything we can do to get me views on this? People deserve to discover you.
@@そふとこあ thank you so much! Yes I don't have a record deal in Japan, although some record stores have purchased orders from me. My power metal band Ascension have a deal with Marquee/Avalon to release our new album in Japan though so I am looking forward to seeing how that goes!
I love how youtube showed me that this was premiering, and then it didn't recommend it to me after it released. But anyway amazing video, Amazing song and very unique visuals.
overall not really, but I think a small community will still enjoy listening on soundcloud and why not spread more music on more Platforms, cant hurt right. Banger music btw.@@FraserEdwards
This sounds like the soundtrack to a anime cartoon for kids. Very cool. The song almost comes alive in my head. BTW who is lending their vocals to this track?
@@FraserEdwards no u didnt. this REEKS of ai. its so very obvious you didnt make this. unless you mean you took 3 seconds to type into an "art" generator what you wanted it to make. then i guess you "made" it PICK. UP. A. PENCIL. FRASER
Never heard anything like it. I mean obviously there's anime-intro comparisons to be made, and I guess I get some Polyphia vibes maybe? But that's unfairly reductive; I've simply never heard this combination of sounds before, and it all comes together to make a unique thing. Oh and also it's fucking great.
Is this a real drummer or are the drums programmed? Crazy fast double bass pedal in the chorus. Not a big fan of the female vocals, but this is a catchy tune🤘
I need more of this. This high octane melodic stuff is right up my alley
This is easily my favorite song of all time.

Welcome to the 20's! This is the sound of the future.
Impressive! The music, the video, the theme - everything! Turned out absolutely outstanding! 🔥
Thank you! Cheers Hanne!
The impossibly fast kick gives me that nightcore feel. This is a banger
this double pedal it's fucking amazing. I can't stop listening to it, it's been 20 times
Thanks Kevin! I love double kick too! 😁
0:35 is when i knew this was going to be on repeat for WEEKS.
めっちゃかっこいい！

@@FraserEdwards Hi I always wanted to ask, are the drums computer programmed, or did anyone actually manage to play this?
Love this
This hit way harder than I was expecting.
Music, Animation, Guitars, Voice, Lyrics, everything is beautiful and powerful!! Man, I have to say, you´re awesome!
This song is insanely good! And the art in the video too, you really smashed it!
Thanks a lot James!! 🤠😃 It took a long time haha

めっちゃ良い❤
You are awesome

el trabajo de fraser es de los menos valorados que he visto en la musica cuando son verdaderas obras de arte , autenticas sinfonias .

Great release! Loved the song. Some of the solos had a little Tim Henson vibe to them.
Clean guitar and loads of harmonics haha 😁
Just found this. It’s so good and I was able to share it with my wife who isn’t into more traditional metal. Great song. Anything we can do to get me views on this? People deserve to discover you.
Thanks! Telling your friends/sharing on social media always helps! 🙂❤️
Or just do nothing and pray the algorithm does it's thing haha 😁
More please
banger
I want to hear your music on vinyl!!
Do you have any plans for sale? Performance and music are the best！！
Thanks! No, no plans currently to do vinyl.
I just ordered it!
Thank you for your help.
I couldn't buy it in Japan..

Thank you!
anyone from osu! (NINERIK video or another osu source)?
From ninerik the Goat😎
Yep, nineriks vid
Soundtrack to my renaissance
Если бы я ставил лайк этой песне, каждый раз как смотрю это видео, то тут был бы уже миллион лайков.
very cool song, did you stop uploading to soundcloud overall?
Yea, I didn't think anyone still used it. I could be wrong. Is it worth looking at?
overall not really, but I think a small community will still enjoy listening on soundcloud and why not spread more music on more Platforms, cant hurt right. Banger music btw.@@FraserEdwards
The image in the clip was generated by the neural network?
This sounds like the soundtrack to a anime cartoon for kids. Very cool. The song almost comes alive in my head. BTW who is lending their vocals to this track?
Thank you Matthew! The vocalists name is Ivy Marie, her links are in the description.
Reminds me of life of strange, this would be the best backtrack
いいねっ
Did you do the artwork too? It's amazing!
Thanks! Yes I did 😁
@@FraserEdwards no u didnt. this REEKS of ai. its so very obvious you didnt make this. unless you mean you took 3 seconds to type into an "art" generator what you wanted it to make. then i guess you "made" it
PICK. UP. A. PENCIL. FRASER
😍
Downright sad songs like this get no recognition
earlier there was StudioForce... now we have StudioEdwards :D
Nice song. Gotta ask, is this your art Fras?
Yea! Took a long time to make the video! 😁

Thanks Smick! 🙂💙
Fastest song i have ever heard
Putz.... Cheguei muito cedo.
Melhor pô, somos privilegiados dentre os brazucas, hehehe.
fuckin good
What's the singer's name, she's awesome, so is fraser
Ivy Marie 🙂 her links are in the description
How does this have inky 60k views?!?!?
Is this a real drummer or are the drums programmed? Crazy fast double bass pedal in the chorus. Not a big fan of the female vocals, but this is a catchy tune🤘
Paramore meets DragonForce
It's only a matter of time before you become known to the world. Because I already know you as a person from a far away country called South Korea.😀👍
Is it real drumming ??😮
It's not dragon force. Yes all.
