Be'lakor - The Dream and the Waking (HD) 

The outro gives me goosebumps every time.

The Dream and the Waking Ending together Realizing then - That this is the best song, ever!

God. That outro is absolutely mesmerizing..Just incredible...

Silent but distant, Real but not seen Here but not happening, Forever has been Into this absence, Two had but strayed Retracing in circles, They surrendered, dismayed Behind them, darkness Ahead, the unknown So they stood, uninvited ...But the roots had grown An error, a tangent A curious mind An instant, a lifetime A secret to find Imagined movements Near shimmering webs The Nightfall descended To rest by their heads Their feet planted firmly 'Neath four darting eyes With pupils dilated, They counted the sighs The dream and the waking Occurring together Realising, then That it mattered not whether Their legs fading into A curding moss Their lungs slowly filling With decades of loss That scent form the forest Not taking, not giving They knew only this - Not buried, not living Their stagnating veins Now hidden from view In skin for the willow And bone for the dew The dream and the waking Ending together Understanding then It had not mattered, ever

Great band. Cheers from Holland 🇳🇱

I recently discovered this band, and I fucking love them!

This song is among the best metal songs I've ever heard! And I've heard quite a few... just EPIC!

This track in particular has grown on me. From a fan who was there from the start; don't stop.

One of the best albums I've ever listened to.

Guys from Be'lakor, you make a great music. The lyrics in combination with that very specific sound and melody are amazing. I have never heard of any other band playing melodic death metal that would sound similar to you. Keep making music because it's just so fucking awesome. Oh, and by the way, the album cover of "Of breath and bone" is one of the most beautiful pieces of artwork I've ever seen. Hails from Slovakia!

OMG THIS SONG...ITS SO GOOD

another album like this and they will be one of the best bands in the world officially...

This band has some of the best cover art for their albums I've seen. Whoever is doing it has some skills. And the growling at 1:28 is the best I've ever heard from any band, including Fields of the Nephilim.

Wow Belakor have reallly stepped up since I first heard of them.

amazing!

Amazing.

Years after years 3:45 just wow

dismaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYED!!!! XD god, you guys are... hmm I can't even find a word for this level of music, maybe just Be'lakor! many many thanks for all of your albums

Who' watching 2024??👇🏼

The riff sequence at 7:14 is eternally stuck in my head. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece. The dream and the waking Ending together Understanding then It had not mattered, ever.

You guys are very special I hope you know that.

I like the fact that this band doesn't abuse technicality like most metal bands nowadays

Best melodic metal band on the planet.

I randomly heard these guys last week. I immediately knew they were something special. Easily some of the best music ever written, but you all know this already I'm late to the party.

5:28 onwards is about as good as melodic death metal gets

I'd give anything to be able to write music as beautiful as this!

A couple of years on, and this remains my favorite Be'lakor track. The way it builds to that unforgettable outtro is first class - looking forward to the new album.

I used to really dislike melodic death metal.. But this is amazing. This song is specific has really made the genre start to grow on me. :)

This is the exact point between dawn and night time it's the piercing veil of light, the shadows of abyss. The figurines and shadows. The sleep paralysis, the ending way. I fucking love Be'lakor. I love that bands can create such amazing, and unexplainable feelings.

It should be impossible to write stuff like this, its insane how good it is.. Eargasm

damn the melodies and progression on this track is pure awesomeness. :O

I have never heard of a band who can crank out melodic riff after melodic riff so consistently and have them all sound amazing.

This is one of the only songs that will stand all my hairs on end. The transition at 3:45 is uplifting but still has the feeling of dread.

Waiting for 2019 album like what the hell... ;-)

The last couple minutes are mesmerizing

My Favourite tracks on this album are Abeyance, Absit Omen and By Moon and Star, so I've been guilty of skipping this track a few times. But after sitting and reading through the lyrics for the album I've really grown to love this track, pure poetry.

Absolutely fucking amazing!!!!! where have you been all my life

A perfect iteration of not only melodeath metal, but music itself!!

Fantastic song, melody and composition, amazes me every time I hear it (and it's been a lot)!

*Understanding then It had not mattered, ever*

out-fucking-standing. Be'lakor really is something else. cant get enough.

Outstanding, astonishing, brillent !! This is the best melo-death band in history, these musicians are just brillent ❤

Like these guys more and more every time I hear them!

Nasıl böyle bir şarkı yapabildiniz, siz nasıl insanlarsınız... Her melodisi her saniyesi ayrı güzel, iyi ki varsınız.

Belabor has always helped me through tough times - this track is my go to when I feel like shit.. thanks for ur music, really!

The melodic riff that plays at 3:16 and which can be heard through out the song is absolutely amazing. I have always loved Be'lakor for this, throwing in great melody and being able to combine it with so many other elements to create masterful songs. Very well done with this new album guys, loving it so much. I'll also note how great that album art work is, really like that image.

İt's like a race of melodies to your ear takes you with them in each direction then make you fall in moments then rise in glory

The build up to 8:17 is just incredible, just another amazing song

Masterpiece, my favorite song on the album.

Time and Time again I am in awe how musicians conceptualise and execute complicated arrangements of various instruments that arrive in my ears through headphones and give me chills down the spine. With this song alone I would pinpoint 4 or 5 different moments that sound ridiculously beautiful, but I won't and let you discover for yourself. Thank you very much for the music

i think i heard 101457845102145781457895478 songs in my life but this one is the best..

Je suis français et je participe à la propagation de ce groupe fantastique en vers tous mes amis. Je ne suis pas très fan de death metal j'écoute en temps habituel le metal symphonique le trash metal mais il faut avoué que ce groupe est assez exeptionnel.

When you discover a new band, its the best and most exhilarating experience ever. When I discovered Insomnium, I thought this was the shit ( and i still do) but discovering Be'lakor is a whole new chapter in my life. This is awesome OH MAH GERD!! I cant contain myself!! so beautiful, it sheds tears to my eyes.

This song makes me vibe on a whole different level. i literally **t r a n s c e n d**

Great song from a great album. This will get stuck in your head for days.

Великая вещь.Великая группа!!!

1:15 - 2:00 this part is overwhelming !!

I'm totally addicted to their music I barely listen to anything else except their four albums any more and it's been that way ever since this album first came out when I discovered Belskor and there was only three.

Fucking love this album

Best song on the album! Epic as F*#%!!!!

Perfectly fits with a fresh Bloodborne playthrough

Another masterpiece from an unique band Be´lakor is the sound of another world

3:49 daaaaamn that was unique

"The dream and the waking occurring together realizing, then that is mattered not whether." Best line on the album, perfection.

Be'lakors songs are all wonderful poems. I'm in love

Aside from all the other songs, this song is very special to me.

I'm a huge fan of black metal and don't like the most death bands. Be'lakor really stands out along with beyond creation, Devian and psycroptic.

this music speaks to me!

It's so weird... I look up google to see how to cope in a dystopian world, and I am of course, a Be'lakor fan although not in a traditional way, such that I've obsessively listened to about 7-8 songs by them over the years, one on loop every day for two months at least as I was contemplating my own ultimate exit, so I've kind of devolved my love for music down to therapy, and it's weird that this song I've heard for the first time off this old album, was in my feed right after search. The algorithm has become scary. My gender's soon going to be replaced by bots, it'll all sneak in in broad daylight when my species' other gender thinks nothing of it because they are safe yet, as it's always been between the powerful and the powerless, rich vs poor and poor vs poorer, young vs old and boss vs subordinate and the subordinate vs his subordinate, master vs slave, slave vs his wife, on and on, everyone in their own good time, thus it'll sneak in in broad daylight, lay itself onto you, subsume and do you in, you'll have no sympathy the way you've offered none, no physical body to teach empathy and restart, in your own good time. I'd once said, from an older and now deleted account, that Kosmas was a poet. I cannot ever know what he's talking about but when delivered as part of this incredible music and in words that convey an unmistakable atmosphere despite the intended ambiguity, I remember that it's the atmosphere along with the ground I stand on from which all life springs, it's all stardust combinations charted on what we call the periodic table, energy and the different ways in which it condenses and takes form and then combines with its other forms... It really doesn't matter, the mechanism is the same, the way that atmosphere and what it encloses and subsumes function is the same. It doesn't matter what he says when what I can take from it is limited to me as well as what he could possibly say, to him. Doesn't matter what it sneaks up on first but that it sneaks, same dystopia as it was, has been and will be. Might as well enjoy the fact that those like me will abandon the game first, by force or will. In this continuity, with the same boring game that doesn't care about you and will prevail, with your reflection in the mirror telling you that you somehow still exist, it doesn't matter at all when you wake up. Once you do, you can never get back. And it's a dystopia from then on till the world does away with you and you, with the world. The blink of an eye becomes endless torture, but see, that blink is all you've ever known, and that’s why you created the word "long". Some things just take too long in that blink.

Is there any such thing as a bad Be'lakor song? If there is, I certainly haven't heard it!

Be'lakor is an absolutely amazing band. How have I missed out on this until now?!

The Outro starts 8:18 … best outro i ever heard in my life , it gives me goosebumps everytime .. you guys are genious ! 🤘🏻

4:56 are you fucking kidding me?!

I love this band..I absolutely love this song!!

Be´lakor is AWESOME. I have been listening to them a couple of years and this new album is so fuckin´GREAT !!!! \m/

The guitar theme that starts around 1:48 gives me eargasm every time I listen to it.

I'm not exactly sure how many times I've listened to this over that last few days but it's a FUCKING LOT!

Songwriting and melody it's a real orgasm for the ear, you guys deserve to have more place in the metal scene.

7:14 - 9:17 My favorite part

this is FUCKING AWESOME!

Wow how the fuck did I not know about this band o.O Awesome music! Reminds me of Insomnium, my favorite band :)

wow... just wow. words cannot describe the beauty of this album.
