For people who accidentally clicked on this video.. a fair warning .. You will be trapped in awesomeness for the next 1 hour 20 mins! This is just too much greatness in one album!
I heard this melody and found myself in dark woods of forgotten times. Followed the tune that became a voice under the pale moon. Heard the howling of the wolves, the voices of ancient dark gods. Lost myself in timeless nothing. A great piece of art, rare and valuable like gold.
Check out "Far Above the Pines" by DUST SCULPTURES. one man metal outing Look up the video for OLD TAPES III and be ready. Josh Mayberry is doimg everything including shoot his own videos. All instruments, all recording, all art direction, all video recording and all script and music writing. A masterpiece of emotionally charged metal. Peace.
This is why I enjoy classical music. you all love this as well. this isn't entirely classical, but a fair part of it is. And that's touching. it tells me classical is making a comeback.
There are also acoustic elements mixed in, which I find to be incredibly impressive work done by an already impressive musician. I'd say this album, and a few more, could be placed in a time capsule for later intelligent life forms to view as "the music of the human race." Lol
I can't speak for OP but my top albums of all time includes Griseus as well 1. Mike Oldfield - OMMADAWN 2. Means End - The Didact 3. Xerath - II 4. Aquilus - Griseus 5. Obsidian Gate - The Nightspectral Voyage
This is incredibly rich, dense, and powerful. So much colours, so many feelings . A great fresco of nature, human emotions and imagination. A masterpiece!
It's so hard to find music this pleasing.. One man? I've got to do a bit of research on this band.. It's hard to accept how underground it is.. I've got to buy this album in respect.. Next to Mr. Bungle's 1991 album, this may be my second favorite masterpiece I've heard. Just.. Wow.
This is one of the most beautifully crafted albums I have heard in a long time, simply amazing the total soundscapes he's creating, if I were a film maker I'd get this guy on board straight away, utter beauty mixed with brutal energy. I read he is classically trained and I get that, the clarity sound but the mix of the layers create an amazing album.
I'm very afraid this music is not from Earth. This is too bewitching and marvelously crafted that I cannot imagine a real person doing this. Mind blowing is not enough to describe the mesmerizing effect this music produces.
This is one of the best pieces of music I've heard in my life. It transfers from smooth young and innocent to hard battle screaming with an amazing well thought out background. This is just a star-gazing 10/10
I don't think there'll ever be an album to top this for me. Literally has everything I could ever want in an album. Haunting melodies, organs, riffs, acoustic, chants, growls, synths. Just insane. It's the heavy metal Tubular Bells. I just can't see anyone ever creating anything as perfect as this ever again. I still listen to it all the time years after discovering it.
mark my words...this album will be hard to even match in the upcoming years...i even dare to say (or type) that even the artist wouldnt do it...not because i dont trust this genius...is because is too much...a masterpiece in the last 10 years that i cant find an album to even be as a justified opponent...if he does overcome this greatness...it will leave us speechless...and a new kind of words must have to be invented to even dare to tag this project.
This is absolutely beautiful! I used to have a musical dream and I dreamed this kind of music! Creating it and listening to it. It was a pure pleasure!
I used to listen to this in college back in 2014 and it still blows my mind and takes me away, and absolute masterpiece, to think it's all the one guy, phenomenal, I could never give this album enough praise, just utterly perfect
Debatable tbh, this seems more symphonic to me. I'd argue that Filosofem is sort of the standard for atmospheric/ambient black metal, but that's kind of a given in a sense.
An absolutely grandiose creation. This music album is like a giant museum - a breathtaking collection of paintings by great painters throughout the history of mankind, entering which you experience pleasure from imaginative perception. Everything that is needed is present here, so that every part of the human soul is not left without attention. The author of this work is a genius!
This (awesome) album is widely available on vinyl. BUT, if you want the portability of a CD, I only found it at Aquilus's Bandcamp store. You're welcome.
I'm glad I gave this a chance. The beginning is familiar (Dimmu Borgir's Death Cult Armageddon) but it shows off its best side shortly thereafter. This is symphonic metal by way of concert piano and those who wished for more (and better) piano after the end of Dissection's "Storm of the Light's Bane" will be rewarded.
Can't wait for their new album coming soon. But I can't stop coming back and listening to this. Still to this day one of the best albums I've heard and I've listened to an absurd amount of music over my 35 years as a bipedal creature.
This needs more views. 35.10 is one of the best changes I've ever heard. Can't stop listening to this masterpiece. Need to find some lsd now to complete the experience.
This and "The Nightspectral Voyage" I can't believe black metal this good exists. I'm not a big black metal guy but these two albums are better than virtually fucking EVERYTHING I listen to.

one of the best albums of all time. period
Finally. I find someone who says the words that need to be said about this record.
+Zyborggian
i agree with both, absolutely the emotion & empathy this music is making to you is astonishing
This is THE best black metal album I have heard in my 20+ years as a metal enthusiast..
Absolutely agreed. Yet, I'm so desperate for something new as well. He's the perfect blend of everything good.
My brother said the same

Masterpiece. No more words needed to describe this record
It's almost impossible to describe it using any mortal words.
All I have to say is that this is one talented individual.
Check out "Far Above the Pines" by DUST SCULPTURES.
one man metal outing
Look up the video for OLD TAPES III and be ready.
Josh Mayberry is doimg everything including shoot his own videos.
All instruments, all recording, all art direction, all video recording and all script and music writing.
A masterpiece of emotionally charged metal.
Peace.
@@judowrestlerka awesome! although you recommended it to him, i had to check it out. thanks! peace!

It never really left in the first place :)
@@Himlajchan Exactly. Metal music is everything - blues, classical etc. Just with distorted guitars.
4 Years later still the personal Nr.1 of my Collection.
what about nº 2, 3, 4, 5 ? good taste...
I can't speak for OP but my top albums of all time includes Griseus as well
1. Mike Oldfield - OMMADAWN
2. Means End - The Didact
3. Xerath - II
4. Aquilus - Griseus
5. Obsidian Gate - The Nightspectral Voyage
@@jamespeterson4275 Thanks for reminding me of Ommadawn, it's fantastic
Rarely have I heard an album as deep, complex and hauntingly beautiful as this. This is a true and timeless masterpiece.
This is incredibly rich, dense, and powerful. So much colours, so many feelings . A great fresco of nature, human emotions and imagination. A masterpiece!
1 minute in and I can already tell this is going to be an experience.

Just.. Wow.
No wonder I had such a hard time finding this album again, had liked it on a different account that I forgot about.

Verdade, amigo
This is one of the best pieces of music I've heard in my life. It transfers from smooth young and innocent to hard battle screaming with an amazing well thought out background. This is just a star-gazing 10/10
One of the Most beautiful Atmospheric Black metal albums!.. Can't wait for their new album!!

ever heard of "The Angelic Process"? -it's drone metal, but comparably bombast in relation to this ;)
@@bizzhat Tried it, but not for me.
Every time I listen to this it hits me so hard. It's so good.

Samsara Hellfueled do you still like this album so much?
WeasleySkoot17 yes
oh and how right you were, sir
Hey it's still our little secret right?!
Yes it's that good , talk about peaking early!
A true masterwork of an album.
Masterpiece, such a monumental opening
This is not an album. It is a symphony! That ending! wow.
This is absolutely beautiful!
I used to have a musical dream and I dreamed this kind of music! Creating it and listening to it. It was a pure pleasure!
Happy 10th birthday to this utter masterpiece of a record.
Masterpiece. It's like you're watching an epic unfold into your mind when you listen to this album.
Where has it been hiding from me? Astonishing, one of the greatest records I've ever heard! Greetz from Poland.
This is the same reaction I did when I discovered this treasure.
I used to listen to this in college back in 2014 and it still blows my mind and takes me away, and absolute masterpiece, to think it's all the one guy, phenomenal, I could never give this album enough praise, just utterly perfect
Real beauty is lurking in the shadow. A masterpiece.
Obviously the standard for atmospheric black metal
Debatable tbh, this seems more symphonic to me.
I'd argue that Filosofem is sort of the standard for atmospheric/ambient black metal, but that's kind of a given in a sense.
crazy sea-mango Yeah you're right, this is definitely more symphonic whereas filosofem is more the atmos/ambient standard
@@crazysea-mango2225 no, ambient and atmospheric are two completely different concepts in black metal. Filosofem is ambient, this is atmospheric.

Everything that is needed is present here, so that every part of the human soul is not left without attention. The author of this work is a genius!
This creation is so beautiful . Thank you
I just bought this. best album heard in the last ten years
This is one of the best metal albums I've heard in a long time. Absolutely glorious!
This is a fantatsic album worth buying!
I just bought myself so just waiting for the album to arrive!
Wow this is just amazing. And from Australia too. Would never believe it. The acoustic guitar at 36:00. So beautiful.
40:42 this passage is one of the most beautiful pieces that I have known in all the medium
Beautifully done mr. Rosenqvist! I can hear and feel that it's all crafted and put together very carefully.
I wish I had money to spend on a good pair of headphones so I can truly appreciate this. I'm sure these 10 dollar ear buds don't do it justice
Extraordinary album! This guy is gonna be a metal legend. I can't wait for the next album!!!
New album is here!
This is awesome...damn you should be more famous with that...this is just...i have no words for this...thanks for doing this :)
stumbled upon this while listening to music at work...was going to change it - but it caught my attention - very nice music.
In Lands of Ashes has earned its place as number 16 on my prestigious 100 greatest songs of all time list.
This (awesome) album is widely available on vinyl. BUT, if you want the portability of a CD, I only found it at Aquilus's Bandcamp store. You're welcome.
And in the morning, and the years after, you'll only remember it as a dream. And it will die, as all dreams must die, at waking.
Ok, wow, this absolutly amazing. I can't find words. Thanks Parabelritter for bringing me here.
I'm glad I gave this a chance. The beginning is familiar (Dimmu Borgir's Death Cult Armageddon) but it shows off its best side shortly thereafter. This is symphonic metal by way of concert piano and those who wished for more (and better) piano
after the end of Dissection's "Storm of the Light's Bane" will be rewarded.
Fluid emotion, a mental journey, and fireworks of the senses, condensed, somehow, into a man-made musical record.
This reminds me of fall, specifically around Halloween.
simply marvelous...
Can't wait for their new album coming soon. But I can't stop coming back and listening to this. Still to this day one of the best albums I've heard and I've listened to an absurd amount of music over my 35 years as a bipedal creature.
My best spendt hour in my life
Extraordinário, único e belo no mais alto nível, um trabalho magnífico !!!

Genius is among us!!
SUS
This album is quite impressive and unique!
this is magic ....
This and "The Nightspectral Voyage"
I can't believe black metal this good exists. I'm not a big black metal guy but these two albums are better than virtually fucking EVERYTHING I listen to.
I'll check tomorrow that album, must be awesome
That would be putting it as lightly as possible. Did you peep it yet? Thoughts?
Yep good album, I'll listen to it a few more time in the next weeks. Thanks anyways.
@@33caprica33 SUPER late seeing your reply but awesome!!!!!!!!! Always glad to get people into THA REAL O.G.
@@Zyborggian Two years late but that is fine^^.
I've been a fan of black metal for over 20 years, in my opinion this is the best album of all time.
This is awesome
This is just a great fucking album. Every time I listen to it I get something new out of it.
DEFINITION FOR A GOOD MUSIC !
I came, for the genuis.
I stayed, for the masterpiece.
I left, joined the angels.
So good...!
I'm sitting here, writing a horror novel, thinking this is just perfect atmosphere for my thoughts. Thanks. Keep em coming.
Hermosa obra de arte..... Excelentes músicos armonía y sinfonía pura maestros
Album of the decade.
Wow what an experience
what a marvellous piece of darkness!
En mi lista de favoritos... Arte por todas partes 🖤
I hope a re-release this year. This album is clearly a musical masterpiece. It come beyond black metal.
It doesn’t get better than this. Best in its class.
beautiful album. really love it.
The opening is like the armies of heaven or hell smashing full assault on the opposite. Its amazing.
Perfection.
Nihil omg that song brings back everything
This album is so goood bruh
Underrated album.
Loss 🖤
I have my copy on vinyl. it is truly remarkable
i want it too, but they are sold out...
that is unfortunate indeed. more should be coming though
Beautiful and epic album
This is amazing
The most haunting and progressive album I have ever heard!!!
epic..
Wow they've kept themselves hidden haven't they! Sounds like a mix of Moonsorrow and Opeth. Really cool 😎
Just two words: Incredible Masterpiece 💙💋
Amo este disco. Los pasajes que tiene
Wow.. This album speaks to me
If I go to Bandcamp to purchase the cd there's a 200 euro shipping fee......my address is not on the planet Saturn!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
love that little bit that starts at 39:05
I hear a hint of old Opeth in this and I love it!
I Dont get what this kind of music is but i like it for some reason
wonderful
You don’t get musik like this anymore 😭
Finally found it, holy shit!!!
Listen this music from live musicians, it would by magnificent
