VILDHJARTA - måsstaden under vatten (ALBUM STREAM) 

But do they Thall?

@@fiasworkshop Asking the real questions

Frankly, I wish this band was on a different label. Century Media makes it difficult and expensive to buy their music, as if you don't want us to. My least favorite metal label, followed closely by Nuclear Blast, although they're pulling away from you guys. I don't want to buy a CD and I don't use streaming services. You guys ever hear of a thing called MP3? A site called bandcamp? Get with the times. I guarantee I can find any album on your label available for illegal download, so the only people you're hurting by restricting digital releases are the ones who want to legally buy the music.

I dont even need to listen to this on youtube anymore but the chat reaction to nationalsång is just so wholesome that i find myself returning here from time to time.

It’s an honour to be here experiencing this with you (th)all.

@@DC33879 I failed you

@@ilikeheavymuzic135 No. There is no fail here. There is only THALL.

yeah

Lmao, cute exchange my guys. THALL

Agreed!! With that peaceful outro.... man its just the fuckin shit. It makes you just say to yourself "I gotta listen to that shit again." Last album that did that to me was Catch 33 by Meshuggah. The ending of sum. Yeah.... wtf man lol

Sounds Danish as fuck..as if screamed from the Grendel itself..

Every click of that word is an exclamation point on the end of this album.

Perfect crescendo 😊🎉

You said it best mr. guitar! Album of the decade

Absolutely. Truly cinematic music.

hands down

Dude my soul left my body, continuous non stop chills for over an hour, which I didn’t even know was possible. My skin hurts lmao

yo dawg i heard you like masstaden so i put some masstaden in your masstaden

I was in school when I first found them. Went through College. Now I too have a job. From a confused, depressed, teenager, to a successful adult, Vildhjarta has been with me all the way through. Thall forever.

29 bro. I feel you.

When I was listening to Masstaden I was a university dropout working my first low paid crappy job and trying to make a long distance relationship work. 10 years later I married that same girl, have a kid, and have a pretty nice career as an actual functioning adult. Lots happens in 10 years...

also 28

Ditto brother. It's been a ride

While there is no the "greatest", to name the album as such isnt wrong at all

Well duh silly!

Yep, this entered my legendary list. The others being Catch 33 and Exoplanet.

Yeah I think this is the most skillfully made album ever. Ashen is just barely beneath it. I'm big on Chaos A.D., LD50 and Obzen, but after 40 years of metal listening, this album has to top everything else.

that is hard to refute, indeed.

Check out the lyrics! Those paintings are part of a very tragic and fucked up story. Dig the Haunted Shores pfp

vildhjarta's original vocalist did that for his band Mean's End. go check them out. Mean's End is one of my favorite bands, go listen to arbiter of time especially

@@BetterCallThall what happens? Far as I can tell the snake gets the short end.

The art of the last song is the most disturbing of all of them. I love it

Art by Rickard Westman. He also did the Måsstaden Over Vatten artworks, Thousands of Evils album artwork, + Den Spanska Känslan +, + Ylva +, and + Kristallfågel +!

real

I feel like vildhjarta doesn't get the viewers as it should. I hope they get recognition from they decade work

@@ErikTails I agree somewhat but I’m kinda glad they’re more of a cult/kinda underground type band. The long dark periods and silence, not knowing a whole lot about them adds this mysterious/secret vibe to them. Like how some indie cult films can have the most depth and end up being so special that they withstand the test of time. Although they’re criminally underrated, the people who do like it geek out about them. I have only one friend who “gets it” and we’ll listen to the whole album and just nerd out the whole time. We both like the same little riffs and stuff and you’d think we’re watching football or something lol.

@@JayB934txs really well said. cool you have a friend that enjoys too. mine only know meshuggah

Really? LOL.

Måsstaden already achieved just that 10y ago

"Masstaden but knowing what we know now" Can't be put any better.

It gets better every day brother.

A blessing and a curse, I cannot enjoy music anymore. I'm stuck eternally listening to three albums by the same band.

@@mayonice3577 same here man

@@mayonice3577 fuck I though that was just my weird ass keeping same three albums on repeat lmao

måsstadens nationalsång (under vatten) triggers an absolute nostalgia attack for anyone who was here in the early days. legit had some of us crying from nostalgia.

WHERE CAN I GET MERCH OF THESE GUYS

NEVERMIND FOUND IT

Literally couldn’t agree more

I thought I was the only one lol Vild/HLB has made everything else sound boring to me

I actually compare them to Pink Floyd a lot to people who don’t know about metal. They aren’t songs and stuff, you want to listen to the whole album start to finish. It’s a sonic landscape that constantly changes and is an experience. This album is sick. The callbacks to masstaden just made my fucking week.

@Belanger Family I agree!

CHECK OUT CARBOMB

They spent 6 months om each track :D

because thall

I’m expecting a lot of covers from you!!

Same

If I could throw one more out there that really does thall well, "Path of Giants". Similar to No Oath, there's "Stömb". Indistinct (most recent album) is also a great choice. Hjärna Waves. So many !!

Thanks for sending me to No Oath! Great recommendation

Check out Dal Av, you're welcome.

​@@BetterCallThall lol

Real shit man

This is too real though

So many souls have entered rest since 2011

I want to hear Thall in year 2200. It's not fair. What Thall will we miss? At least those of us that are here got to hear Thall begin.

@@42k78 2200 is hard to conceive lol

Loathe was a true standout to me last year too, good to see another fan of both them and Vildhjarta in the wild

loathe was my aoty last year and vildhjarta is my aoty this year!!!

album of the decade.

It’s gunna be a toss up between this and Colors 2 for me.. apples and oranges

That crown goes to Whitechapel Kin

thall

@@777uuh Thall

Dude, they delivered! heartsmear has a reimagined pattern from the 2015 teaser. This is christmas come early. THALL!

How was the experience cuz it blew my mind

Thall

@youtubeisafag the guys who did terraforming? Im not finding anything new from them besides a single from like 7 months ago

“Emotional vocals” is wild. I don’t really like the vocals that much but I really respect the instrumentation

Same this is amazing

Man my jaw dropped when it started playing midway through brännmärkt. The thematic complexity in this entire album is insane.

It’s even in the very first track at the end. So good

Honestly this like some kind of musical and visual ecosystem that we all enter like foreigners.

I had a class 30 minutes after the premier started, and I didn't feel good about stopping less than half way through. I'm right there with you

You're my age, I know how you feel, the last 3 years have been hard, but we are harder! Stay strong brother.

thanks

Thanks! I wish people would put timestamps in the descriptions

Hi I like this

Thank you much 🤘

HOW DO U KNOW ITS TIMELESS IT JUST DROPPED

@@johnlarose5399 because masstaden droped in 2011 and its 2021 and nobody comes close to them in their style

@@louistremblay1218 I second that

Actually the vocals in the swedish version of den helige anden is way more understandable than in the english version... seriously

*Most* of the album is in swedish.

yooo! Hope you release more music soon

And I wholeheartedly agree with you

@@ZuccAF expect this to be a MAJOR influence on my next album. Icarus is going thall confirmed

And thank you so much for listening, fan!

@@Sunchaserofficial That's a very hype thing to hear!

when I understood that, I cried.

This is correct.

what easter eggs???

ddʑðɘeʅɑwaø̞ɨʍɕᶴɘᶴʔø

Utter nonsense

Yes. I also feel that matured is a pretty accurate description. Big boy music!

Which song was it?

@@chrisbeadles7614 20:00 den helige anden , i remember listening to it in my final years of high school, it also inspired me in some of my works. However, right now i'm listening in loop to brandmarkt (especially the end, despite being the less heavy part of the song) and heartsmear. Funny is that both of them have my favourite drawings out of all the other songs aswell.

I was so dumbfounded when hearing that. I had the goofiest fuckin grin ever and just sat there in shock.

Absolutely insane. I dont know of any other band that have had the balls to just straight up recycle old material. These guys did it and it fucking worked.

@@yellowsaurus4895 right??? at first i feel like there might be a temptation for some people to critique it negatively with the reasoning that it's over-reliance. Or, kind of like the Star Wars treatment. You know how in almost every one of those movies post the OG trilogy they just bombard it with throwbacks and familiar things to be like "HEYYY LOOK AT THIS! STAR WARS! SEE THE AT-ATS??? YO DID HE SAY HE HAS A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS? WOW MAN, STAR WARS!" And maybe there's a point to be made with the recycled stuff in this album. However, the context is different for one and the execution is just SSS+ tier. They wove them in so intricately, making them parts of the larger whole, the album is a continuation of the story from the first. It adds so much cohesion to the audio story telling. anyway, all that to say: I agree with you. I'm just running on 2 hours of sleep and still gushing about this thing, haha

@@Itheil lol, i get what you're saying. It was a perfect tribute to the original album. And you can tell how much love and passion they put into it. It really feels like an homage to their roots, rather than just fan service. More bands need to do shit like this honestly.

Honestly this feels like a continuation. The poison blade back at it again

T h a l l

The vocals are mid for me. The instrumentals are cool but I can’t get over his voice

@@RoswellContinuum The first album was definitely more relentless since it had two vocalists, but I think there are plenty of great vocal moments on this album as well. Nar de du alskar kommer tillbaka has crazy dynamics, the amazing chorus on kaos2, fucking den helige anden, the haunting outro of heartsmear, the awesome tension of vagabond, and the epic finale of paaradiso to name a few. But they are not for everyone, but they do have an instrumental version of the album too!

I disagree with the statement that it is the album of the decade there are albums such Koloss, Violent Sleep of Reason, Lugal Ki En, The Joy of Motion, Immersion. Clearly heavier. This album I will give album of the year. But the songs are not memorable, but certainly there are moments.

@@johannrajan3279 Sure, you do you. I love every single one of those albums, but to me "heavier" does not equal "better" (how is The Joy Of Motion heavier than this by the way?). None of those are even close to the level of storytelling and compositional complexity as this one to me. My previous AOTY contender, Välde, is IMO heavier than any of the ones in that list and heavier than måsstaden under vatten, but despite being beautifully composed, this one still takes the cake in my book.

What about citadel bruh

Yes, they have done it

My favorite part is they gave everyone a 10 year chance to figure out how to do it and finally said “hold my toilet paper rolls” and proceeded to drop the best project of 2021. we are blessed to be apart of this.

I mean Fractalize is overtaking these guys with ease. Their songs are just phenominal. I can name one of their songs that can easily be heavier than this whole album.

@@johannrajan3279 fractalize is an amazing band yes. But holy shit this album defeats all of its competition

@@ZuccAF I don’t think anyone will ever outdo Vildhjarta. Not to me anyways. I’ve heard fractilize and it sounds hollow, and soulless compared to Vildhjarta. Cool riffs and music, but Vildhjarta takes me on a journey like no other band can.

You are

we read

i feel the same way

@@morbida Giga Chads

Go and listen to their first album. It won't disappoint once you realize it's actually narrative style song writing. The music emerses you into the story of the Lone Derringer and his journey through masstaden. A story of living with mental illness truth be told.

I love when music is so good that you feel compelled to tell complete strangers your feelings. not only ones feelings of the song but ones life & how an album, or song has impacted it. You're not alone brother.

Bruh. Happy birthday 😂

Most likely Hapas guitars

Hapas

You don't Need Ibanez when you live in Sweden

Mannnnnn fr lmao

I cannot stress it enough. This entire album, including the artwork, is a masterpiece. I'm blown away, best metal album.

This is my favorite track so far too. There are so many very brief motifs and sounds from masstaden. I heard clean intro to dagger (just a few notes), then the beepy sound from all these feelings. Putting in all those references to their debut was brilliant. Protest the hero has done this a lot too and I dig it.

@@JayB934txs also 32:34 reminds me of the breakdown at the end of benblast

@@sirbonple It is. That track is a medley of Masstaden 1

Theyre genius

@Will Gude yes that should totally happen I’d love to watch that too

Shit would be BRUTAL too

So, how is your guitar journey after 7 months??

@@exile9796 i can play toxin and den helige anden start to finish, i wanna learn kaos2 now

@@skrota Very nice. Wait do you have an 8 string as a beginner??

@@exile9796 yeah, i wanted an 8 string asap just so i could play vildhjarta and stuff lol

@@skrota That's very cool. Starting out with an 8 string and vildhjarta. I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the album!

Nemertines! Haven't seen that album cover in a long while. Everything here is bringing me back to the golden age of prog and djent 😢

Love the artwork of Paradiso. Looks like so much fun going on in the background XD

@@sotojared22 Dude Nemertines is so fucking distributing, I love them lol

Maybe ever.

I haven't listened to much in 2021, anything that comes close in your opinion?

Until new Meshuggah comes out! 🖤

@@VirgoKing89 Fred had next to nothing to do with this upcoming album, even less so than the last, I'm not getting my hopes up.

@@lane3574 Välde

I feel the same way. This is so refreshing.

how exactly is it that much different though? lol literally using the same drop tuning and vocal style as any other death metal band. This band just sounds like a slower Children of Bodom.

@@keithgraham8588 With all the copy+pasted bands in the oversaturated djent subgenre that you could've compared them to, you instead went with.... Children of Bodom? The melodic death band with neoclassical-influenced guitar and synth solos?

@@austinthefreak foreal, what a bizarre take. I know that they’re unique because I’ve spent years trying to find similar stuff and there just isn’t. Even hlb just doesn’t do it for me for some reason. Most people say they’re a shitty meshuggah knock off which an equally wrong take.

Check out Afterbirth - Four Dimensional Flesh. Great music experience imo.

*get high

@@munkacsibeata6823 *both

@@boykidmanboykidman5420 I prefer thc

@@munkacsibeata6823 same actually

Dude yes. I couldn't wait till I got off work for this

Exactly my thoughts. The artwork reminds me of The Fool’s journey in Tarot. There are archetypes in the artist’s work that portray greed, injustice & gluttony such as in Masstaden. I had a theory that Vatten is the ruler that gets dethroned thus entering paradise. There is judgement, the wolves in the hourglass (the wolf howl sampling), so many little pieces that make a gigantic puzzle. You see the hooded figure is the catalyst for the conjuring, libra scales throughout the artwork: the seagull city civilians revolt. I can’t wrap my mind around the full thing yet but that’s what I’m conceptualizing as of right now. I feel like Masstaden nationslang is an ode to what was and how things were, now under Vatten things are much darker.

@@johntudisca5 I have came to conclusion after going back and listening to both albums multiple times, that the snake has received a letter from the bird god that used to be worshipped in masstaden. The letter stated that he was still alive and being held captive down in the port. The snake eventually gets caught, after spreading the truth to the people about the tyrannical cult. The snake is sent under to die a bitter death, but to fulfill the prophecy of the bird man. The snake has done his duty, it’s unclear to me what really happens with the bird man but the snake and him ended up defeating the evil cult and bringing about paridise in the end.

I'm not too sure what I'm listening to but it sounds like a life experience. Perfection

There are parts of the album that sound frightening. I don't know if I could listen in the dark hahah
