INVENT ANIMATE - Greyview: Retrospective 

Greyview is absolutely flawless and watching this puts the album in a whole new perspective. Thanks for sharing this.

In my opinion, Greyview is one of the best Metalcore albums of all time. Not only did they set a standard for musical complexity within the Metalcore genre, the emotional and dark lyrics that take you through the album directly coincide with melodies and breakdowns. It is an absolute marvel within the genre and the band should be extremely proud to have put out such a landmark masterpiece. Your fans - and the metal world - have heard you, and we hope there will be more art to come.

I could say so much about this band, but I’ll just keep it simple: I absolutely love this band with every fiber of my being.

When he said " we might not make it " the tears were real cause this album is my oxygen. Thank you for hanging in there guys❤️ can’t wait to see you guys on tour xoxox

So very proud of every single one of you for sticking through it all. You’ve been a favorite of mine since Lightfinder and you guys deserve nothing but the best and I’m also so very proud of all the fans who showed up to support you guys. You deserve it and I hope you guys can flourish for many years to come. Thank you for being you.

Just wanna say Reflection Room has some of my favorite lyrics. Particularly "No time for rest when time is everything" 💕

Greyview got me through a really rough time. So stoked for what's next.

You guys need to realize your sound is one of the most unique in the whole genre and the fans see that. Album was/is amazing, looking forward to the next. ...not even kidding Monarch, Dark, and Cloud Cascade have been stuck in my head in rotation since the release of this album to the point where I'm concerned with the high replay-ability levels of this album.

Can’t wait for the next album

When you have a group of very obviously talented individuals, people WILL wait. Congrats dudes! 🔥

honestly I think greyview is the best IA album so hearing about all this struggle and uncertainty they went thru during this process is super surprising, but the hard work surely paid off cause yall wrote 13 bangers.

Greyview is an album that helped me through 2020, and I think a lot of others would agree. Thank you!

Grateful you guys never gave up. Invent Animate is something truly special

Came back to watch this for the first time in awhile. To see these guys at the level they’re at now is insane. Heavener has been out for awhile now and it’s easily one of favorite metalcore albums of all time now. This band changed the game and Greyview is such a classic now. Well done guys. Can’t wait for the future!

That outro was sick, almost shed a tear.

Super proud of you four. Happy to promote you to my friends. Everyone I’ve shown this album to has had nothing but great things to say about your music. Here’s to things becoming semi normal again so I can see you guys out in Denver again.

I got to see you guys for my first and so far only time when you came through to Santa Cruz with Oceans Ate Alaska right before Ben left. The power for the block the venue was on was out, so we all waited around for an hour before it just became a meet and greet and we started going home. During that time I met a guy named Jonah who was going to school there and played bass (I play guitar). We got on pretty well so we exchanged numbers to jam later and said our goodbyes. I got 10 minutes down the road before I got some frantic texts from Jonah telling me the power had returned and the show was back on. Barely anyone was in the crowd cause they’d all gone home but that was my favorite show of all time and I’ll never forget it. Jonah became the bassist in my band and we are great friends to this day. Love you guys and thanks for the memories.

Watched this with the boys on the stream. Such an amazing group of people, I have never been as much of a fan for any band as I am for Invent. Timeless songs that will never be forgotten.

Greyview has been stuck with me for months now, saw Invent live with Silent Planet in January of 2020 they were my last show before Covid! I'm so glad they were a part of it! This album for me is just perfect, it's a masterpiece. I vote it best album of 2020. All of it has helped me bounce back up out of depression this last year... We thank you you guys so much!

This is easily the one of the most complete metalcore albums I’ve ever heard. Every song is a masterpiece.

Well worth the wait boys. Keep that fire burning, because we’re here for you.

Most talented and underrated band in the scene. Change my mind

This album set the tone for a point in my life. Thank you for your commitment through so much uncertainty, you should be extremely proud. Can't wait for what's next and really hoping to see you guys back in Canada.

This band has been my all time favorite for years, ever since everchanger they are the only band I listen to constantly and obsessively. I’m just so happy they are still a band and stuck it out through all of that turmoil. Greyview is such an addicting and timeless album just like the rest. This is the music I will show my children

this video should never get any dislikes. the reality of this band is incredible.

Thank you so much for making this. Love these sorts of insights into the music I love so dearly.

Could you guys release the vocal cover of solace, that would be really cool

Absolutely love you guys. Greyview was a fantastic step in the right direction and Marcus fills that void than Ben left incredibly well. Super pumped for the future of this band. Always gunna be a big fan

"I was amazed that you guys were not longer than me"...I don't know why that was such a charming line haha. Love these guys.

Can we get asmr grey view where trey just whispers the songs in my ear thankyou

Man, I don't think many people understand how taxing it can be to go through all you guys did, at a time like this. Big congrats & much love

No other band makes me feel the way IA does. Even though I miss Ben as a big part of the band, it doesn’t change the fact that these guys are still my number one

Lets go i'm here boys!

It's weird hearing they had so much apprehension about this album and the new vocalist; as an outsider, Marcus fits right in and the album takes what they were doing to the next level. How could anybody be a fan of the band (or this type of music generally) and not see that? I still listen to this album pretty regularly. I almost fell out of my chair when the guitarist said he was 22.

Thank you for existing ❤️

Well, got to listen to Greyview again after watching this!

absolutely love this band and their music!

Been following the guys since Everchanger. Coming back to this after the release of Heavener was an emotional experience. I'm proud to be a fan and will continue to support Invent for as long as I live. Keep killing it

Seeing you guys on the Trilogy tour at the Palladium in Massachusetts was the last show I got to see before Covid shut everything down. I don’t even know how many times I’ve listened to Greyview, I’ve always loved the ambiance you guys use. Worth the money for sure. And the embroidered sweater you sold on that tour is by far my favorite piece of clothing. Can’t wait to see what’s next

They didn't imagine the impact of this album, even... the impact of Heavener is having!

saw these dudes live with silent planet on the trilogy tour, met Marcus and he was such an absolute chiller. sold me a their last long sleeve it looked so sick

Y'alls friends may have degrees and what not, but you put out a timeless masterpiece that helped and helps a lot of people around the whole world. Be proud!

Greyview is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever witnessed, and this video made me appreciate it even more

Mannn... I've fallen inlove with every single Invent Animate album up until Greyview. Idk, maybe it was my attachment to Ben's vocals. This video was delightful to watch. I'd love to give Greyview another chance.

Here on the 3 year anniversary to remember an album that changed my life and kinda saved my lockdown back in 2020

my metal journey started with Linkin park , then i found BFMV both i cherish in my heart , and then i was introduced to heavener , that made me go through greyview , still world , everchanger and i realized i found that missing component i was searching for to help me go through in life . Thank you invent animate , for everything . i love when keaton says " i'm gonna be 25 when i would put out the next record " soo accurate 16:55 GOATED Album

My favorite band. The album came out at the perfect time for me, it was REALLY what I needed to get thru what I was going thru and I'm eternally grateful to y'all for that. Can't wait to see y'all live for the 3rd time in a few months

I love you guys. Your fans are here to support you guys no matter what❤️

I’m glad you put this doc. out. It answered some questions I had while you guys were in your silent pre greyview period where me and probably a your fans were wondering what was going on or the direction you were going to take and we see some doubt you guys were going through on if you should be a band. I’m really glad you pushed through it and put out another album, it was worth the wait. I hope Covid doesn’t crush you and you keep pushing your Worcester, MA show was the last concert I went to and I hope your next show can be the first concert I go to.

After watching this i appreciate greyview even more

This and the recent Northlane documentary are real great to see lately.

Amazed they weren't longer 🤣🔥🤘

Over coming that looming sense bonded you guys to embark on a new chapter to become greater and, Heavener is your testimony.

Man this is so inspiring but so gray at the same time

Thank guys so much for sticking it out through dark times. I'm glad that you guys decided to have this produced. It clearly illustrated that this was a trying time for all of you both mentally and physically. I will be eternally grateful for the music that you guys have and will continue to create. It's deep, meaningful, emotional, and moving. Don't judge your self-worth by the achievements of others; you will never be happy. What you guys have contributed to the world is nothing short of amazing. Keep at it! You guys are fucking killing it. 🖤

Greyview kept me sane in 2020. Thanks IA

Greyview is y’all’s best album. Greyview is also my Xbox GT.

Hearing that these guys are 22-25... What??? I met Trey at the last show I went to before Covid - on the Trilogy tour. I'm 27, and I wouldn't have guessed he was younger than me, just because he seems like such a pro and such a veteran. And to hear him talking about the pressure of making it happen... I've been trying to get my no-name band off the ground for 15+ years. I'd be pretty proud if I was able to have even just one album of the caliber that Invent Animate puts albums out at. Yeah, it does sound like the grass isn't that much greener on the other side, but still... At least y'all have 3 albums of incredible music that have touched a lot of lives. Hopefully there will be many more.

Love you guys!! You and Greyview were so worth the wait! I will happily wait another 5 years for another solid album! You guys are fucking fire!

I would have waited as long as it takes for this album because it's beyond worth it. This album helped me escape to a realm where the pandemic/quarantine wasn't real at points but also, lyrically, helped me find a better understanding of how rapidly the world around me was warping and the challenges my loved ones and I would have to face over the next year. ❤️❤️

incredibly thankful that you guys stuck it out through everything. This album is such a work of beauty and a staple of what modern music should be. You guys rule. can't say that enough. I hope to see you all live again soon when the world opens back up.

God damnit I love this band

one of the best metalcore recors to ever exist. i love this album so much.

Album re-inspired to write again 🔥

I swear to God I love this band so much ! I didn’t even know this was coming out ! I loved watching things like that back in 08’-10’ I can’t wait for the next album!

You guys deserve all the best in the world. Really can’t wait for the next one. All of your albums are life changing.

Been a fan since Everchanger and I really appreciate their hardwork on Greyview. Hopefully they'll get bigger someday, they sound so underrated and it hurts me. 🙏🏻

This is insane man. You guys killed it with this and I’m so excited for your guys’ future. The day I get to see you guys live will be one of sickest nights ever for me.

Thank you for your art. You guys mean more to me than you could ever know, please keep making music 💙

Greyview is such an amazing album. We all definitely appreciate the effort and struggle you guys went through in creating it. Thank you.

this album helped me through a very bad point in my life. Thank you, IA.

Glad you guys put this video out, it’s definitely one of my favorite albums can’t wait to see you guys tour it more

I can’t believe it took so long to hear these guys. Started with the Cloud Cascade riff and the floodgates opened. Can’t get enough of this band

This was AOTY for me when it came out. I also think it’s the best album you ever put out and also in the top of my favorite albums ever. It also helped me through a though time. It’s very rare that I like every single song on an album but it’s definite on this one. I really hope you continue to create music like this. I love everything about Greyview! And as a fellow Swede, Marcus is a great inspiration for me as a screamer. I only have love for this band. 🖤

This band is flawless.

It makes me so happy to see these guys doing good after hearing that if greyview didnt go well it was pretty much it for them as a band to now heavener winning multiple awards and the band still gaining in popularity.

Awesome video guys, saw you 5+ times small venues with Ben and was front row on your first show with marcus in Seattle!

I was going to see you guys for the 3rd time live in March of 2020. The show never happened. I still listened to the album a hundred times, though. I have two posters in my bedroom of Everchanger and Stillworld. I should really put Greyview up there next. Hearing certain parts of IA really are motifs in my personal life. It was so strange to hear him explicitly mention it when that's how I have interpreted their music for years. I really miss shows, man!

INVENT, ANIMATE MY FAVORITE BANDS NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD , ILOVE YOU I,A ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎🤟🤟

Absolutely love your guyses music. Dont stop! I cant wait to listen to the pure Beautiful Madness of Greyview Instrumental Edition and any new albums you bring out! Wish you guys luck!

I really love this band so much ! ... I really do miss Ben though . Them explaining they thought they might be done got me emotional lol these guys are keeping metalcore alive !

just i wish that the guys expand the ambient sound a new levels bc thtat is the distinctive sound. who knows more Progressive or more Experimental cant wait

This is a must listen to on vinyl with headphones!! Oh my gawdddddddd!!

Very similar story to Northlane’s. Losing the original vocalist, unknown future and writing a make or break album under pressure. And bringing a new vocalist on named Marcus lol. This is one of the best and most original albums I’ve ever heard.

Greyview was definitely one of the best albums of 2020. These guys deserve all of the support they can get

It's pretty cool to see how y'all put the vocal flows together!

Love the kiss me cover at 5:37 as I forget you are a great guitarist as well. 😂👍🏻Thanks for such an amazing album last year! Excited to see where you guys go next!!

"Greyview" was my favorite album of 2020. You did a fantastic job on it! Normally it takes a year or two of listening for an album to to take a place in my fave albums of all time, but "Greyview" jumped up on that list too after just a few listens. I do have some verrry mild criticisms, but yall probably arent reading this lol

Grey view is such a amazing album

greyview helped me so much last year. thank you guys

Your hard work definitely paid off! This is probably my favorite album of 2020, and I can't wait to hear what you guys make next! (Take your time, don't rush it!)

guys keep doing what your doing dont change a fucking thing. you guys are one of the best bands in history i ahve come accross in a very long time keep up the good work. only just found you guys and loving the art i feel every song they really hit home they hit hard and is helping me through so much

One of my all time favorite metalcore album

This is the only album I listen to when working out or when im driving late at night to keep me awake. From a drummer to another, flawless. This will be your best album.

Thanks for make : Greyview

Pure love and light for you guys

Great video, and one of the best albums I've ever heard

Love that album so much 🖤

Much love guys

LOVE IT THANK YOU! Saw you guys in Philadelphia on March 11th night before pandemic closed all venues! Marcus was an amazing addition! Last time I saw you guys was 2015 with Ben. I had went to see Volumes I didn't know who you guys were then but you would become my favorite band no matter how long the wait.
