DARK AGE - Afterlife (2013) // Official Music Video // AFM Records 

They still sound like Dark Age They evolved musically but you can still hear the classic unique Dark Age riffs.

Eike's voice is just amazing!

I miss them really much,

Holy shit what happened to old Dark Age? like the songs ''Zero'' or ''Cold'' or ''Trial by fire'' HOLY DAMN :(

Could listen to this in a loop all day!

The evolution of the bands is quite normal; I don't think they changed style to get more fans or be "mainstream"...it's their natural evolution and progress, and they did an amazing job!

I really miss old Dark Age but am I the only one who enjoys this song?

Forget the shit I said before (cuz I was drunk), it's one of the best Dark Age songs ever, I love the clear vocals and finally, we get to see the whole band :D

Erst dachte ich"WTF wer ist das", klar war Dark Age vorher um Stufen härter.WAYNE.Der Song ist catchy "hoch 100" und geht sauber ins Ohr.LIKE!!!!

its a good thing i read the comments and went to listen to a different song of theirs. i saw them mentioned with scar symmetry and soilwork on another video and randomly chose this song to listen to to check them out, and was like wtf...?

Das ist Exzellenz, Ich mag diese Band so sehr und ich hab' sie seit 5 Jahre gefolgt, hey guys of #Dark Age, you rock!!!

Who doesn't miss the great old Dark Age :)

It's alwasy the same: Either people say " They alwasy make the same music" or they say "I don't like their music anymore, it's to (insert adjective here)". Everytime I listen to a new album I decide wether I like it or not and that's that. Just don't blame the musicians because they didn't asked you what you would like.

Oh my god! This is perfect, a change is always good! And you're doing it fucking right!

I listen to it and miss "Minus Exitus"... I hope a change of style will bring a group of his popularity they deserve. And I hope it's worth it. Devoted fan from Russia.

This. If you don't go forward, you go backwards. And the old Albums are still there. I am really looking forward to the release party and a good mix of old and new stuff.

Look at how many harsh verse/ clean chorus bands we have, I say this is a refreshing change

Mensch Leute, das Album ist wirklich nicht schlecht. Zählt mir mal bitte eine Band auf, die nach so langer Zeit immer noch den selben Shit rausbringt und euch nicht langweilig wird..

If you have no idea what you are listening to you are not respecting what you are listening to. Knowing the genre and knowing what makes it tick is what makes you able to appreciate the songs. If you are 'music fan" you are free to listen to club music or go to Brittney spears concert, as you will know no better as long as some part of the melody resonates with your brain.

This song means alot for me. :)

Well. at least their old songs are not dead and you can listen them :)

I listen to Dark Age since 2003 at least and.. Damnit I like this. There is still this pessimistic DA feel in this, I still get the same sound and vibe from the guitars, but all clad into a nice, catchy as hell song. I remember laughing over beginner's clean vocals back on their self-titled album. I am shocked to hear the same singer perform so well in such a great chorus.

really good and catchy song.

I like the change of style

Bring back old Dark Age!!

Everytime a band takes one step forward, their fans take two steps back. A band just can't release the same album with different songs every year. That's so close minded and leads to nothing. Good music and true inspiration isn't fixed to just one genre or a specific number of beats per minute. I adore the song and the new style. I feel sorry for the distortion pedal... And I want my Mustang back. Really looking forward to your next show in the Grünspan in Hamburg 06.09.

It requires some serious balls to make such a change! Especially when compared to their earlier albums. Had to order the new album just out of curiosity to see how they managed. Watching this, I think they did well. Wihtin a week I will know better.

Awesome song.

The problem is that every time a band changes their style the fan base thinks that they do it just for the money or a even bigger fan base. I agree with you, that after the sixth change the band loses credibility, but on the other hand I won't listen to bands that release the same album every year. I support a band for their message and image and give a shit about the genre, as long it is damn good music that triggers something in me.

I love it! :D

Hermosa canción, junto a Nero y Dark Sign, hacen un trío fantastico en el álbum. Espectacular voz la del vocalista.

I like how in the video he tries to get the band back together.

I cannot see the album being too much heavier than this. Bands create an identity for themselves and fans like me expect to hear the same band when the new album comes out. Now if a band wants to sound like maroon 5, of course they can do it, they can do whatever they want, but not without losing fans that loved their original sound. Now, sure they can get new fans, but they are straight up trying to produce a more marketable sound which will be short lived.

old and new dark age, kick ass...

AWESOME! I LOVE THIS SONG!!

Guys this is still Dark Age! Their melodies and songwriting is still veeery similar to the previous ones. They just don't sound as heavy. I agree that it needs more harsh vocals. But its still just as catchy as their older tunes.

mutig und innovativ...klasse!

Haben Dark Age mal nen Vertrag unterschrieben das sie immer nur Melodic Death Metal machen werden? Ich glaube nicht. Ich finde das neue Album sogar ziemlich gut und wer es nicht mag kann immernoch die alten Sachen hören.

Evolution does not equal change. It equals progression. This is not progression.

Great song

i listen to them since 1999 and this is wow different =P

go go... do it for the money... r.i.p. dark age

R.I.P. Dark Age

Yeah ! :D

Evolution doesn't mean completely changing the genre and to go full main stream. Gorguts just released a new album where they show exactly how to evolve without shitting on your fanbase.

The album will be released on my birthday :P

Great !!!

Nice job here !

amazing song...!

This isn't Melodic Death Metal, its something between "Moder Metal" and "Brutal pop"

Holy Shit Arcadia war ja schon ... naja... aber das hat ja nichts mehr mit Metal zu tun. Ich habe habe ja nichts dagegen, wenn Musiker sich im Laufe der Zeit verändern, das ist ganz normal (und soll auch so sein). Wenn man dabei jedoch einen so krassen Genrewechsel von Dark Metal zu Indie-Rock vollführt wäre es einfach besser gewesen Dark Age in Würde zu Grabe zu tragen und eine neue Band zu gründen. Das hier ist einfach ein Schlag ins Gesicht für Fans der alten Band.

Wow, quite a few years ago I heard Zero and thougth "well not bad melodic death metal" and just now I am by chance checking them out agin...damn they sound better than ever!

WOW!!!!

Love u guys Cool Album ...true, it's different no more deep screams i miss it but still good :)

i really do agree, but i wait for the whole album. i think its quite often the case that the first song released is a ballad.

I normally listen to Melodic Death Metal but I think this is awesome! This is how Linkin Park was before they got all shitty and experimental.

I'm an honest and loyal fan :)

Old dark age had a lot of balls. New Dark Age has little edge to their music. You know, I can dig listening to this... once or twice... This is more pop than anything, universally accepted amongst many different listeners, but it in itself is not strong enough to stand the test of time. This isn't timeless by any means, just like ANY hit song on the radio, the industry will milk it for all it's worth and will be forgotten, and this sounds like an attempt to be "hit" quality, which it is not.

Klingt interessant. Wird es noch mehr volle Songs aus dem neuen Album zum reinhören geben? Ich vermisse in dem Song den perfekten Mix aus growl und clean voice..

Same here dude; they've created a generally pretty original sound in my opinion in this album. Reminds me very much of "The Silent Republic"

Well i can relate to that, though honestly i don`t feel any vibes similar, the feeling is completely different for me :( When i first heard Dark Age i thought 'Oh my God,this band has such an amazing future,one of the most promising bands ever'...But now... i`m pretty sure this isn`t even melodic death anymore..

headbangs

Maybe you did already, but if you liked this, you should also check out the Remix by EISBRECHER.

It will be out on 6.9.

GOOD !!!

what are their melo death albums/songs?

Ja bin genau deiner Meinung, finds auch geil. Ist doch nicht schlecht wenn man sich weiterentwickelt und ma was verändert.

This is the same powerful group that sang Elegy of a Forgotten Science once? What the HELL happened?! :(

I've first seen this at a Burger King. Normally the TV there shows Hiphop and shit. Whatever they did before (I don't like it) I still think that this is better 99% of the shit that's on the TV and radio these days.

Wie alle rumheulen „mimimi was ist mit Dark Age passiert“ . Alter was ist das Problem ? Weiterentwicklung sollte jedem ein Begriff sein. Das Album ist fett produziert (Eike warst du das ?🤔) und der Rest ? Immer noch screams, harte riffs, ein Tick mehr synths und electronic (absolut genial eingesetzt) und Melodien zum Himmel geil. Also da fand ich die Entwicklung von Linkin Park oder BMTH schlimmer und selbst DIE höre ich noch heute weil ich ein Mensch bin der die Musik so akzeptiert wie sie ist. Ich höre alles von Dark Age gerne . Aber besonders dieses Album. Die Songs sind on top auf den Punkt gebracht. Die voice egal ob clean oder hard absolut brilliant . Ja ich antworte ein paar Jährchen zu spät sry, aber bei den miesen Kommentaren teils musste das mal gesagt werden 😓 Besteht die Möglichkeit dass Dark Age irgendwann nochmal zusammen kommt und was neues raushaut? Bitte Leute, grad jetzt über corona könnte ich dringend neuen motivierenden stuff gebrauchen 😩🤙

Nooooo...! What is this?? Is this a new video for MTV? I can listen this kind of music in night club!!! What teh hell?? God I miss the old DARK AGE!!!

I definitely love the old Dark Age, but this shit isn't that bad to be honest. I mean Acedia was pretty catchy and almost pop-melodeath, and this song just expands on that sound. Not saying its the best, but its not terrible either. 7/10 would listen again

I derped, I generally meant to say the vibes I get are still the same; but the music definetely isn't the same. Trust me; The Silent Republic is my favourite album by them and I still think it's one of the most amazing Melodeath albums ever written.

Have to agree.

nikita my go to dark age song

i like this song ik its diff thsn norm but still kicks ass

Good bye DARK AGE!!! (((

All before "Minus Exitus"; after Acedia the style is called: "Extreme Metal" like this song

Just 163.000 views ??? C'mon.....

Sunrise Aven-Age

Although I did enjoy the song I liked the band alot more when they actually played metal.

To be honest, it sounds alot like Linkin Park.... I loved Dark age and the silent republic and Acedia just fckn blew my mind but this is... let us hope this song is just one of a kind and the rest of the album has more of the kickass music they used to make.

That is not about try to hold and find some woman. That is about person's searching of himself, right?

Oh, dat Hipster Age.

Rip Dark age :c

Spoko nutka !!

Rupture song (album?) !!!! sounds good!!!

Take it easy, it's the new single, you haven't heard the other songs of the new álbum and you are already disappointed? And this is their band, if they want to look like Maroon 5, well.. they can do it if that makes them happy. I bet you would do the fuck you want if you had your own band.. or that's what I think or what I would do :)

I'd say this new sound is actually more unique compared to the pretty standard melodic death metal they played.

Hey message me when you're going to be back on tour, I hope everything works out for you. Rock on bro

Jungs jungs...ihr klingt so amerikanisch. Ich liebe euch.

When "october"?

kann mann lassen.......aber ich kannte die band schon damals......muss brechen blööööööör

No es para insultar...pero ¿por que? para vender mas? me encantan sus antiguos trabajos,no entiendo,otra banda que abandona su estilo.

The electro sequences and the voice are 'too mainstream' for me, but the riffing of the guitars is that fucking great *g*

we can fix it if we tryyyyyyyyy

I fell in love with Dark Age and their style of composing long ago, they have to me unleashed the best growling, melodies and singing ever since The Silent Republic until Acedia, and I looked forward to more in the new album ... the band changed in the past - but it remained metal in my hearing, this release is toned down towards rock if you ask me - the quality and sound is really great, but this album is for me one of the biggest disappointments in a long time.

Dark Age, ¿where are you?

Not a bad song,but if this is the album's main sound....bad news for Dark Age
