This comment. ❤

Vessel is defying holy order, going against higher power

Sounds demonic.

I absolutely love the way you put the musical content of this song!!

Love this, i think represents this song perfectly

it would be post-metal/progressive metal - they are appropriate genre

Yes, you missed come metal :)

@@Kelliegurl67 I may need some help with that one. What exactly is come metal?

You're a cool dentist then lol

that means your a cool dentist 10/10 would recommend

I was listening at work and so many times they took my breath away. They literally stopped me dead in my tracks to start the song over because I could NOT believe what just heard. I will remember the experience forever. 🔥❤️🔥❤️

Just found them 3 days ago. I am still shocked at the feelings that came up.

Welcome to the cult 😈 (Just kidding, it's not really a cult but we do have cookies! 🍪)

"No amount of self-sought fury Will bring back the glory of innocence" Insane lyrics

Luke 10:18. I saw Lucifer fall from heaven like lightening.. Where he fell caused chaos until Elohim created Eden: order out of chaos.

It's about addiction. I'll cook: 👨🏻‍🍳 Eden represents innocence in two ways. One: when he had self control, and control over his life, before the addiction(s). Two: the innocence of trying these vices for the first time. Every relapse is like a fragmented memory of that first time. The sad reality of the feeling of euphoria reducing at the same rate your life is consumed and deteriorated with each dose/experience. The first verse seems to describe such innocent first encounters: a more direct read suggests drugs, but it could be fame, sex or even financial success. It uses words like dream, drifting, fog, spaces, waters, oceans, weightlessness... even the word phosphorescence reminds me of psychedelics. It ends that verse with "But no one told me not to breathe" perhaps indicating he felt like he was not aware of the negative consequences to indulging in these activities and feels like he was deceived to a degree. Like he should have dipped a toe and been more careful, but the enjoyment of crystal waters and perfect oceans blinded him to this reality. "and now the weightlessness recedes" seems like a reference to a come down, especially compared to the previous line "no one told me not to breathe", indicating some regret. 🍲 Then Chorus: "my my those eyes...." first describes the allure of drugs, partying, the fast life. He flies to that which destroys him strictly because of its undeniable appeal. He's clean right now (off drugs, or dating apps, w/e) but it's killing him and he feels himself giving in... He knows this is wrong but he's restless sober. Maybe the withdrawals are too much. "grow back your sharpest teeth you know my desire." He feels like he can't escape his desire to relapse so he plans to dive in hard... again. Then Refrain: Notice here he uses future tense "I will travel". I read this as him implying he'll do anything to fix his situation.. at this point he is broken, but hopeful. 🥘 The rapped bit has some fun wordplay but seems like a blunt metaphor for the Sunday scaries. He's hungover. He's now paranoid that the people around him don't care about him. "mirror talk, fake love, but I'll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my paystub" In this paranoid hungover state he sees people attempting to support him as a threat. In his view they are trying to ride his coat tails and stay close to him for their own financial benefit. Maybe because they tour a lot the people he spends his time with are mostly business acquaintances that he perceives as fake friends, only interested in supporting him because they want a piece of his success. A nasty selfish state of being... often associated with withdrawal and hangovers. After that shitty day why not just relapse for some comfort, he needs it you see. Chorus. The piano interlude section with the clean vocals doesn't fit my template as obviously or straightforward as the rest, but, I'll keep the sauté going: 🫕 What he lost was essentially himself. He feels like his success and these addictions have fundamentally changed who he is. "and no amount of love will keep it around if we don't chose it" despite his popularity and the love he's shone by fans etc. he feel like he was consumed by his lifestyle. In his view he chose to be this person he thought he needed to be to "make it" and that led him down this dark path... had he chosen to stay true to himself and not compromise his "innocence", maybe he'd be less popular, but he'd still be him. The next line expresses the feeling of not understanding how this has happened to him and the undirected rage bubbling up to the surface. He's grasping for something to blame. Then with the last two lines of this section "no amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" he realizes his feelings are utterly useless. Whether his anger is justified or not, nothing can repair the damage that has been done. . . So why not just relapse right back into the fire. Chorus. Last refrain "I have traveled far beyond the path of reason, take me back to Eden, take me back to Eden." Past tense... Hope lost. He's gone as far as he can conceive of to return to himself and his innocence but is now giving up. Eden now, rather than actual innocence, represents chasing the dragon only. He now succumbs to pursuing what fading solace his addictions can provide. A bitter, bitter end. 🍾🥂 Sweet dreams! If anyone read this, I am impressed and flattered.

13 years with my partner and that's absolutely true

Yea its gonna be a good day.

​@Axel Pineda how so?

@@radickal Then don't read the comments before watching/listening lmao there's always bound to be spoilers

*verses

@@radickal it also has guitars and drums in it lol

That doesn't sound good.

I hope you are not blaming your childhood self for not choosing love to be around. You are not to blame but of course the pain is real and it can be very fruitful to reflect the past and try to understand it to get a better picture of the present self.

Same for me... the chorus? "My, my, those eyes like fire/I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre/Come now, bite through these wires/I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired" just...wow.

Not just the album. Entire history of the band and few members. If you know we're to look ✌️

@@gamelegend-nl4637 I know the project you're talking about but can you mention the actual references? I didn't catch them

@@camdenwyeth316 In Ascensionism he says I can offer you a blacklit paradise, and on Euclid he says "these ancient canopies we used to lay beneath." He also says something about the Bough breaking (a reference to When the Bough breaks) there's also musical references through the whole album. The love you want in Euclid, the melody on the end of this when he references Chokehold is a slowed down version of the melody in The Offering etc.

@@ninja3687 The last euclid piano riff is the same as The Night does not Belong to God, and vessel also sings the night belongs to you. Maybe he's finally reached God in Eden.

"it was no accident"

🎉🎉

I love this description

So true. I love vessel's voice sm and heavenly voice + euphoric metal-y music = perfect.

Were you drinking coffee when typing thar comment? 😂

@doyz5803 no I just really like coffee and recently started using my French press again which makes coffee taste so much better lol

The Holy Mother of God 👑🙏 approves 🖖

His voice sounds like he understands me, if that makes any sense lol

❤sentimientos puros ❤

@@angelesalvarezlasarte656 I apologize for not understanding what that means. Could you translate that to English? I understand the part where you were conveying a sentiment of sorts as one of the words suggested. But what's the sentiment? Again, I really only speak English.

I'm hoping that he's using proper techniques for his harsh vocals. Wouldn't want him to lose his voice from doing screams wrong.

​@gavindooly2375 Google translate translates it to "Pure feelings"

Sounds a lot like the guy in Bastille, actually.

@@Zeta9966 Oh man, I can hear it now! I thought he sounded familiar but couldn't place it.

I'm a non native english speaker so I don't hear Vessel has any British accent. Cause usually British guys uses too much thrust & push too much air from their mouth while speak. Like the pronunciation of the word "too" would be sounds like "thhhhoo" for british. So, I'm confused like a "Boo-wooa-wah-ah" 🤣 Btw, Vessel's voice is out of this world.

@@alexjohnson6674British accents are also in a huge range, so i get it.

​@@Zeta9966I thought instantly of Bastille vibes

the producer is vessel and carl brown. but mostly vessel.

No we can't.

@@neonclubmx Vessel being a part of the production makes this band even better for me, not sure why but it feels good knowing how involved he is

@@neonclubmx The glazing is crazy. It’s definitely the professional that’s been doing it for ages

engineer * my guy

Yes! The dynamics throughout this song and the way it builds up to that jarring bomb drop of a breakdown at the end is impeccable and that breakdown hits all the harder for it, along with with that tormented distorted screaming. Just magnificent. Haters won't grok and that's fine by me.

This is facts. Haha. I listened to the whole album when it was released, super stoned laying in the sun with JBL headphones and it was one of the best things I've ever experienced 😂😂😂😂😂

It is, its beyond anything

I don't listen to Sleep Token without my ear pods 😂

Absolutely!! If I'm playing music on BT speaker, and this song comes on, I have to run and get my headphones instantly!

no way listening to music with good headphones sounds good??? wowowoww

You a real one fo dis

You’re the best!!

Make this into a video ASAP!!

Ohh dear I've been hearing "reset my patient files" lmfao

Ehre

Live that shit because it's so true.

It's double edged, you can stop choosing a bad/toxic/abusive relationship and still love the person who hurt you. Love isn't enough, it can't be. Especially if it only flows in one direction (like worship).

Aha Türkler.

The end of Euclid was *such* a cool surprise and felt like a personal message from Vessel. Worship.

not a nominee, best album of the year without even finishing the year, it is an instant classic that you know instantly

Dying goats 😂

Whatever floats your -dying- goat 😂😂

They released six songs and on practically every one of them people were like "how is the rest going to fare if they are releasing all the bangers ahead of time" Then we get songs like ascensionism, apparition, rain, and tmbte? They have no business being even better.

These guys are geniuses their songs are complete perfection beautiful band

@@thetruextremeicon legit, this was already album of the year for me the moment they dropped the singles. Actually hearing the phenomenal perfection that it ended up being just makes me so happy

idk man, this band is unimaginative, uncreative, nothing new, nothing inspiring and this kind of music has been done to death since the 2008's. I hate this kind of music as a kid and now in my 30's its still bad. maybe you need to be exposed to alot more music cause if this speaks to your soul then you really haven't been exposed to music, sad really

I've had a lifetime of exposure to great music, thanks. As I said, music is personal. If you hate this type of music, why are you trolling me on the comments for this video? Maybe you should concentrate on music that fires you up, and not loitering around stuff you hate, criticising people who have a difference of opinion with you. Peace, out.

This band is so fucking good

I'm 37 years old musician who has played and listened to an enormous amount of music and this band is the most unique band I've heard in years, they have a sound that transcends through so many music styles and the core of it is pure intense emotion. Absolutely incredible band, incredible musicians and a band that industry has needed for years. All the best for them

@@govys85ive listened to so much stuff, from the most modern pop and rap to old rock and metal, to modern tech death metal and enjoyed it all. Theres a difference between hearing a lot and appreciating a lot. I may not be a fan of many pop artists but I see the appeal because its simple, enjoyable music. If you cant appreciate this then thats fine, but dont ridicule someone for understanding something you cant and never will. If you relate to happy by pharrel williams, thats great. If you relate to a lorna shore song, also good for you. Music is subjective and your lack of insight into a particular band isn’t indicative of anything beyond a difference in taste. Go enjoy what you like, but dont act like it makes you better than someone else. You elitists are the problem with metal as a community.

✅️✅️✅️

Oh. Where'd you go? My bad, I took too long.

It could also be considered as a motif, Periphery does this a bunch as well!

@@isaintlikei4076Architects are the king of this. I remember in an interview them talking about it and saying how powerful of a tool it is because you can with one line of reference to another song bring in an entire songs worth of meaning with that one line. Really cool narrative tool.

​@@rappleby91I love Architects

if you're a fan of referental lines + motifs I highly recommend The Dear Hunter! their sound is different from this but their Acts I - V are all narratively and musically connected

@@brachycrab I second this! Also the Periphery recommendation!

It is incredible, there is not a single track that disappoints

There is a hoodie on their website that has 12 different models that all say the names of the songs next to them (its in their coded language seen on the album cover.) and it has all the current ones we've seen so far, so They at least have the artwork for every single "Character"

I agree. However, Ascensionism pissed me off. You start off a song with this incredibly beautiful ballad. Here I am like, “Oh my God could this be better than ‘Atlantic?’” Then the song switches up to R&B and I’m like “What the fuuuuck?!?!” I felt like doing a Shawshank redemption style dramatic effect while down on my knees, arms out screaming “Nooooooooooo!”

@@Imissthesands-kk8bt awful take. Ascensionism bangs

@@stonedinvalhalla I never said I hated the song. I don’t hate the song. I like the song a lot. I just would’ve enjoyed it a fuck load better if they treated more like Atlantic. An absolute majestic, tear-jerking ballad ended in triumph with the rest of the band like you’re flying into the solar system.

I believe it’s George Lever. He does clips on URM Academy vids here on RU-vid where he talks about working with ST, respecting their anonymity, etc. He also has some playing credits on some of the songs, he played bass on Alkaline.

@@joedamore7653 This one was done by Carl Brown and Vessel himself

​@@joedamore7653 Not for this album. This is the first thing they've done without him

@@ER04040 I liked Lever’s mixes, they were dense yet had separation, especially the de-tuned guitars, they were really crushing. And the vocal production was so clear and articulate.

​@@joedamore7653 and the drums. Lever's production on drums are just insanely good

You should try Igorrr

If this song amazed you in any sense, you haven't listened to much.

It's a deftones ripoff mixed with a vaguely r&b midsection, and ends with a Loathe rip off heavy section. 3 genres, 2 of which are already cousins.

@@phahq been listening to more than enough, thank you very much

@@DamienTheCat so new music is only good if they invent a new genre that defines their sound? if you would call any music inspired by deftones a "ripoff" you would have to cancel half of the scene lol just the fact that they managed to make a 3 section song mixing all of that and still sound as good as that is already creative enough and other bands will definitely take notes for future projects just like what happened after bmth in 2013 and architects in 2016

damn, just commenting here, so i can come back to read this again another time

Thank you for sharing, the way you're describing the song and its effects on you has me connecting similarly. It truly walks the fine line of gentle, calm, bitter, and sweet. This concept is what it's all about, we lose our innocence but we grow and evolve in exchange. Also living in the moment and really appreciating what you have is also an important concept here.

Same :)

​@DizzyMan24 I can see saying it isn't something to be worshipped, but saying it is mid...I find that interesting that you can't hear the brilliance. What music do you put on a pedestal out of curiosity? You have to have a reference point.

Where are you hearing this "chorus"? Because I'm not hearing anything here that feels like a chorus.

"​@nuberiffic my my, those eyes like fire, i'm a wigned insect, you're a funeral pyre. Come now, Bite through these wires, I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired. Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher. Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire. "
