Essenger & Cryoshell - As Above, So Below 

We're making it out of Mata Nui with this one, boys!!

This brings me back to the 2000's, in the days of Bungie Halo, The Piraka and Barraki, 4KidsTV, all the Movie trilogies, and Pizza Hut for some reason. Those were the days to be Alive.

_Don't you fear that it's too late to turn the tide_ - Mata Nui’s inner feeling of hopelessness. _These machines were never built to make things right_ - The Toa being essentially tasked with having to fulfil Mata Nui’s duty in his stead. _Wake me now_ - Awaken the Great Spirit _The world outside is dying_ - Teridax and his forces laying waste to Spherus Magna. _While we slowly drown_ _Not living, just surviving_ - The Matoran and Toa suffering at Teridax’s hands inside Mata Nui’s body. _Locked in your paradise_ _Our sanctuary burns while you play god_ - Relates both to Mata Nui, who never truly recognized the Toa/Matoran as equals until it was too late, and Teridax, who’s literally playing god while those within him suffer. _As above, so below_ _So below_ - Drawing parallels between Mata Nui and Teridax.

"is this real?" I don't know, is it? Can't believe the fans are Reviving Bionicle, its so beatiful.

IF there is a Bionicle Gen 3, this man needs to be on it.

*"Unity."* *"Duty."* *"Destiny."*

Unity, Duty, Destiny

Absolutely didn't expect that scream 😍 hopefully this won't be the only time we hear it

Hoping this could carry on in terms of getting new music done by Cryoshell and Essenger together. This song is honestly going on my top music of this year. Only because it impacts me more than any random pop song we get nowadays.

🔥 But now i wanna watch Bionicle

I can hear this play in a Bionicle commercial 0:07 “New from Lego Bionicle…” IT’S INCREDIBLE, I GOT EMOTIONAL THINKING ABOUT IT 😭

Holy Jesus, the 2000s energy is strong with this one! I couldn't believe it's actually brand new! Great kudos, gonna be looking out for more of your stuff!

I miss Bionicle so much! This song reminds me of the Bionicle commercials I would see as a kid! I miss taking my Bionicle apart and making robots of my own! Yes, some pieces were cracked and/or missing, but I had so much fun with them!

This collab is too perfect to be real.

Back to 2000-2007! Linkinpark & all alternative Rock bands in my ear and, a lot of anger and shouts in my heart and mine. I'm 38yrs by the way...🤟🏻

Bro, at the beginning when the mata nui online game sample kicks in… Literal Goosebumps…

Are we entering the re-ignition arc?

Sampling the Beach Chant is a deep and glorious cut.

Ask your parents for permission before going online. Me: *I never did.*

I’ve listened to this song so many times in the past 2 days it’s been out for. This is definitely my new favorite song

Pardon my deep lore but this is like if the All Insane Kids made a song with Cryoshell, it’s such a perfect combination of Hero & Gravity Hurts/Closer to the Truth. SO SICK!!!

UNITY. DUTY. DESTINY.

I genuinely cannot get enough of this work of art. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤

Is this real? The fear I feel When the noise starts dying down Is it true That there's a place for you When the sun burns out? Don't you fear that it's too late To turn the tide? These machines were never built To make things right Wake me now The world outside is dying While we slowly drown Not living, just surviving Locked in your paradise Our sanctuary burns while you play god As above, so below So below Is there a cure? The sky obscured And the monsters crawling out I'm not scared I won't die in here While the world burns down Don't you fear that it's too late To turn the tide? These machines were never built TO BURN ALIVE Wake me now The world outside is dying While we slowly drown Not living, just surviving Locked in your paradise Our sanctuary burns while you play god As above, so below Who will take our place If this becomes our fate? HAVE WE SEALED OUR FATE? COULD IT NOT BE TOO LATE? I wanna see the stars Before they fade too far I CAN'T SEE THE STARS HAVE WE GONE TOO FAR? Wake me now The world outside is dying While we slowly drown Not living, just surviving Locked in your paradise Our sanctuary burns while you play god As above, so below So below As above So below

Возвращает меня в 2010. Будто вновь окунулся в те времена, когда впервые позакомился со множеством рок песен, играя в NFS.

You found a really good place in the plot to pick a song from if I'm to assume this draws parallels to the Great Spirit takeover, if feels plucked right out of the tail end of 2008. Had to double take when I heard this in the BMOP trailer, like "Did they really get Cryoshell in on this??", even the death metal screaming which I admittedly found pretty funny isn't unfounded considering the rapping in Creeping in My Soul. Congrats on the crossover

This is sooo good! What a duo, like holy shit this is perection.

Beautiful, powerful, perfect.

"Bionicle: Masks of power" Can't wait for that to come out.

AS ABOVE SO BELOW

Two of the most, and I mean most... Underrated artists.

WE MAKIN IT OUTTA THE SPHERUS MAGNA SOLAR SYSTEM WITH THIS ONE🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 ‼‼‼‼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

100% using this as the song for one of my tabletop campaigns final bosses. Super hype. And from Bionicle of all things? I remember seeing Bionicle when I was like... 6. Wow. What a banger.

I can easily imagine this used for a Bionicle ad from the 2007.

Can't stop coming back for the beach chant in the background...

this just feels good to listen too reminds me of when i was a kid watching those amazing trailers i hope for more like that

Holy damn, went here after watching MOP demo trailer, straight up have me shivers when I heared it, AMAZING

This song hits so hard, honestly. I can close my eyes and imagine the epic battles to defend Mata Nui that the Toa fought over the ages. thank you for this materpiece

I don't even like bionicle as much as everyone else, but this rocks

we making it outta bara magna with this one for sure god damn 🔥

this reminds me of Young Medicine, loving the sound!

I've said it before, I'll say it again - this has NO BUSINESS going as hard as it does.

Bro I'm ngl, I've had this on repeat and have listened to it at LEAST 300 times at this point. Whether I'm working, driving, or at the gym. It fr just got that old-school Bionicle feel to it and I can't get enough of it. Thank you brotha 🤘🏽

I miss Bionicles!

I can't stop listening to this, perfect pairing of singers. I lived Bionicle as a kid and this takes me right back. Excellent!!!

I found this song a few days ago, and it's been in my head ever since. This is such a good song, the vocals are great, the guys voice is excellent, the line "These machines were never meant to burn alive" & the music is absolute fire!

Love it! New Essenger song always makes for a good day.

SO GOOD! I can't get enough! Only thing that bugs me is the non-rhyme with "paradice" and "god." I keep expecting to here "while you play dice." But really, it's an absolute masterpiece. I showed it to my Bionicle "hating" friend (he has a fear of toilet vines) and he loved it.

😢.....my Childhood

No way, they are still here.

0:07 Is that the Beach Chant I hear in the background? Such a cool detail!

WE’RE MAKING IT DOWN THE 777 STAIRS WITH THIS ONE, BOYS

Loving your new stuff. Have this and Sanctum Eternal on repeat ❤

Yo Yo, Piraka!

Still searching.... [ *Found* ]

Can anyone post the full lyrics? Also, I am currently rediscovering a largely forgotten part of my childhood, I kind of stopped checking on Bionicle once the "prequal era" starring Vakama started, after learned about the scope of Makuta's true plan(taking over mata nui's body), well, that was quite the finale. It's a shame that they canceled the true final story arc, involving the great beings coming back and refusing to see the matoran and other Bionicles as anything more than machines, and Mata Nui having to convince them that they've long since become something more.

definitely a banger!!!! love this track.

We won.

waouw that song is so epic omfggg

My rendition : We take turns Watching the sun rise And the moon burns A way of speech we have yet to learn (Yet something we yearn) Hand in hand, we follow the curse Back and forth, a thought to concur Yet here we are On the shores of memory How we are reminded of conformity Here we are (Here we were) Here we stay (Here we play) So many forms of indignity But so far we've come Yet so far we've stayed At a standstill What more do we have to say We take turns Watching the sun rise And the moon burns A way of speech we have yet to learn (This is more, this is the meaning to yearn) We take turns...(x2) Slowly we embrace the turning of tides This is so much more This is the dream we've begged for Slowly we embrace the changing of lies This so much more This is the dream we've begged for As above, so below (X4)

New bonkle song? New bonkle song!! :D

Turaga Dume: “Cross the sea of Protodermis, and be honored as Toa!” The colosseum:

Soooo good, screams?! More of that please

Perfection! 👌😚

It's like song of Sonic Frontiers.🤘

Epic & powerful 🫀

Lyrics, because they weren't in the description. [Verse 1: Essenger] Is this real? The fear I feel when the noise starts dying down Is it true? That there's a place for you when the sun burns out [Pre-Chorus: Essenger] Don’t you fear that it's too late to turn the tide These machines were never built to make things right [Chorus: Christine Lorentzen] Wake me now The world outside is dying While we slowly drown Not living, just surviving Locked in your paradise Our sanctuary burns while you play God As above, so below So below [Verse 2: Essenger] Is there a cure? The sky obscured and the monsters crawling out I'm not scared I won’t die in here while the world burns down [Pre-Chorus: Essenger] Don't you fear that it's too late to turn the tide These machines were never built to burn alive [Chorus: Christine Lorentzen] Wake me now The world outside is dying While we slowly drown Not living, just surviving Locked in your paradise Our sanctuary burns while you play God As above, so below [Bridge: Christine Lorentzen, Essenger] Who will take our place If this becomes our fate? (Have we sealed our fate?) (Could it not be too late?) I want to see the stars Before they fade too far (I can't see the stars) (Have we gone too far?) [Chorus: Christine Lorentzen] Wake me now The world outside is dying While we slowly drown Not living, just surviving Locked in your paradise Our sanctuary burns while you play God As above, so below So below [Outro: Christine Lorentzen] As above So below

amazing! great work

this could be a league cinematic anthem

The Bionicle trailer brought me here.

Holy CRAP

freakin awesome

Will there be a lyric video?

An amazing song! Essenger killing it with his vocals! My only complaint is that Cryoshell's vocals dosen't fit that well, even with the echo. It doesn't sound clean enough in a way.

I think the titles for this and the one currently called the visualizer are mixed up.

Is there an instrumental version out there?

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

So when will the Instrumental comes out

Lyrics?

Literally blown away, this is phenomenal!
