The funny thing is that I only started listening to CHON, Corelia and Scale the Summit about half a year after this album was released! This song was written about year before I released this album so I was mainly going on my Animals as Leaders influence for it!
You and AAL were the very first artists i discovered 10 years ago when i started listening to dj0nt. I've never stoped grinding your music ever since. You inspired my playing and songwritting deeply, and i have lots of different moments and memories attached to many of your songs... Thanks for that, and thanks for everything man, see you in outer space 🪐✨✨
DNA, a rightful miracle where physics and chemistry conspire to allow something conceptually far greater than the brightest star and yet bodily smaller than the smallest grain of sand, beautiful in mathematical complexity, impossibly rich in potentiality, Book of Life real in perception and existence, chalice of instinct, emotion, logic, rationality, soul, eternity.
Eduardo Rivera it seems to be near ifinite with only a few repeating sequences haha theres only a handful of people on earth who look like you. but how many 4's are there in pi?
i really wish people knew the difference between great bands such as this and shitty bands. Bands like this deserve more recognition, w/o the major record label influence.
Reminds me a lot of different bands in different areas. Corelia, Periphery, Animals As Leaders, CHON and Scale the Summit. Not that it's a bad thing - because it's fucking not. But it has so many distinctive styles and tones, they mesh together without the song ever sounding disjointed or chaotic. Kudos. Big fucking rock hard kudos.
Haha, I seriously doubt that :P It just happened to be one of the serendipitous occurrences where I had common ground with bands I hadn't even heard of! And after I started listening to them, CHON and Corelia especially, they still somehow managed to influence my music!
Wow... I’ve been a fringe fan of Sithu Aye for several months now, but upon first listen this one song in particular really gets the job done for me. Gonna have to remember to revisit my dude a lot more often.
I can't say I'm a fan of Sithu, or instrumental metal in general with the exception of a few things here and there, but god fucking damn are some of his intros catchy as hell! I found myself replaying them over and over again.
DiabeetusPlams atleast youre not totally bashing on it and avoiding paying attention to any of it long enoug to notice whether or not you like it. much respect to you
the name for this album couldnt have been any better...the whole thing makes me feel like im jettisoning through space! sweet production quality! some of these bedroom producers way out do the trained high paid mainstream producers
Im glad i went to Sputnikmusic today, thats how i ended up here. The song has a AAL feel, but still unique enough not to make it look like a plain old copy. But its not like i would care if it copied AAL, they're one of my favorite bands.
OKAY PEOPLE WE GET IT, You found Animals as leaders a few months ago, and now you found this EQUALLY talented band and are moving up on the totem of good music scale. But stop bitching about how " THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN AAL THEY SUCK NOW" just listen to the song and ENJOY (:
This is some of the best stuff i've heard in a while. Seriously, this is what the new animals as leaders album should've sounded like. Sorry, but move over Tosin, there's another player in town. Fuck. this has seriously blown me away.
Since I found you a couple of days ago on Soundcloud, I've been in love with your music! Especially the mixing and mastering as I'm doing that for my upcoming band :) You're amazing dude, really inspiring.
Weightless really lacked INSPIRATION, for me. Granted, it still blew me away and is a phenomenal album - but it never really made me push my earphones in deeper, lean back in my chair and go 'Holy fucking Shit.' There was no Tempting Time solo. There was no nostalgic energy bursting through the seams in Behaving Badly. There was no mind blowing guitar wizardry and simultaneous beauty and *FLOW* in On Impulse. It stunned me, but it never makes me shit my pants the way their self titled does.
@c2aye dude its hilarious how at "black" churches, they always have those shedding sessions and everybody is just like diddle-diddle-boomboom-diddlediddleticktick-boom-diddle lmao. I commend you for beastin on guitar, prog style
Amazing mix my friend. I'm glad i'm not the only one trying bring back cross-genre metal stuff. This is really full of sick grooves and sharp playing. The feel is really good here and you know what your doing with that guitar. Really impressive man. Yes go buy this album you dragons!
@riceboy287 Funny you should say that, I started out guitar playing funk music before moving on to blues, rock and then prog metal. I absolutely love gospel drumming, it's just got so much groove and feel! I commend you for bashing drums in the name of funk/jazz/latin/gospel! :D
that's the best way to get such a warm sound for solos, yet a gnarly distortion for the heavy parts! idk why you aren't running with the champs man. but you can say that about so many bands now a days also
I'm solo right now but I'd love to get a band together and play this stuff live at some point! But only when I can do justice to the recordings, so that means more gear, getting the right people to play with and stuff. I really hope to do it though!
dude that's awesome if you tour, i'd defo come see you! your songs are amazing and so inspiring, i haven't gone a day so far without listening to one song from your 2 albums :D
This is really awesome, I only wish it were proggier. That is, I wish there were more variety of meter throughout the piece. I will definitely be listening through this band's body of work.
@Nezrimo I thought it was a step in the right direction. the first album is amazing also, but im glad they didnt just rehash the same jazz/djent sound.
In my opinion, the difference really lies in the fact that the first album was all Tosin (and Misha if you want to get technical), and the second album is written collectively by AAL. It went from solo project to band project. The first album changed my life for the better, but I didn't feel the passion or vibe as much in the second. Bad album? Not at all. Comparable to the first? Also not really.
