LYRICS:
With silken hands placed upon the lungs of the earth,
I scale the labyrinth.
Inhale,
and everything stops.
Exhale,
and I feel the wind beat down upon my face.
The sunset flares,
as the wind tears,
through the amber blades with pace.
I reach up, hold hands with the energy
all fear collapses as I dance with ecstasy.
Dragging myself up through the branches of life,
the evening breeze soothes my frail mind.
The setting sun breaths through the bitten leaves,
enticing our hearts toward the unseen.
Ascend towards the cracking sky,
the subtle joys of climbing high.
Directional limbs and vectors within,
the heart of the elm beats with me; synchronously.
It’s so easy to get lost...
with so many paths to wander across,
but if we close our eyes and feel the gravity.
Put our faith in intuition
We’ll breach the canopy
Om Kham Brahma
Breach the canopy...
Atoms burn within the melting sap,
elucidating wisdom of where not to grasp.
As Gaia bathes me in her primordial state,
I feel the roots below shift tectonic plates.
Atomic conflagration pries open the clouds
Gliding towards the crown
I breach the leaves and their lotus flowers....
I peer out upon the earth
At the beauty from my eternal perch...
Ascend towards the cracking sky,
the subtle joy of climbing high.
Directional limbs and vectors within,
the heart of the elm beats with me; synchronously.
This is everything and anything;
an encounter with the astral glow,
the infant mind materialised,
no fear, no hate, no woe.

Don't worry guys... if you're ever lost in the wilderness just look around... you'll find a metalcore/djent band somewhere nearby filming a music video :)

[@buckyblakka217]

With no amps

[@drumsno]

I'm surprised there wasn't another band recording a video in the background 😂 😂

[@Ninequads93]

@@drumsno lmao

[@prophessorj5901]

Unless you find yourself in Norway and you find a black metal band. In which case just walk the other way😳

[@mytemporallobeisshapedlike1796]

Especially if you're lost near train tracks, listen for the group wearing all black and follow the siren's call

[@OldPliskin-n2c]

That acoustic intro is still fucking sliced bread lads.

[@charliewaterson8401]

Is like old Northlane with new Northlane cleans. This is so good

[@drumsno]

I have "It's so easy to get lost" in my head often

[@HypercoreRipper]

Aussies really know how to prog-metalcore / djent, just sayin' 👌

[@tarquinball]

djust saying ;)

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

It's all the djust from the deserts

[@KicksLetsPlay]

those cleans are so sick, the whole song is sick but the cleans man, i cant stop listening

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

I agree his voice really grew on me

[@joshforeman1648]

The clean vocals are what really impressed me as well

[@jayjd1996]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

[@dansmarques]

I agree, I have the same opinion, I listen from Portugal!

[@MasterBlaster12272]

Listen to Heavener by Invent Animate for a truly beautiful metalcore song

[@abelcordero7986]

The singers voice fits so well it’s amazing.

[@ethanmacky812]

Very cool, proud of young Zac keep up the good work, love you son

[@CaseyWalle]

Album of the year for me, easy win.

[@turnthisworld3494]

Mark my words, this is the next big act out of Australia. I called it with Polaris and I'm calling it again now. One of the most fresh, original, satisfying releases of 2019.

[@moriliveshere8414]

Agreed 100%

[@Alsax1985]

This is terrible. Compare this against any modern metalcore song and this shit sounds like Justin Bieber.

[@Alsax1985]

@Dr. Rockzo Mighty projector, you may need to take a break.

[@architectsxiii5379]

I agree that aussie always has great bands in this genre, but if you haven't you really need to check out the japanese band Crystal Lake! You won't be disappointed.

[@strycker]

Agreed. This is super fresh for the prog/djent genre and probably my album for the year.

[@bobnjon]

It's a shame this doesn't even break 100k views. This is honestly my favorite metal songs, and I've been listening to metal for my entire life, I'm 32 years old. I know it's tough Above, Below, but please, never stop making music! Sincerely, A Random Fan from Savannah, GA USA

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

Probably the best vocalist in Djent/Metalcore easily, he just has a style that's unique and flows so well.

[@robertgoleberski2879]

I would have to say Andy Cizek is the best but this guy is a very very close second

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

@@robertgoleberski2879 cizek is pretty good but it's all subjective really. He just doesnt have the same melodic variance though or personality. It's all just one way with Cizek.

[@thabugman9433]

I’m sorry you forgot JT cavey from erra existed

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

@@thabugman9433 lol I love JT and Jesse both. This guy literally combines what they do into one guy though. JT and this guy both have weird timings they use that fit well with their music. But this is just a subjective opinion, that's all.

[@melamortis]

i'm late but marcus vik of invent animate

[@MarkLePage]

I’m so excited for this album.

[@skippy7865]

The transition to the blast beat at 3:26 is so god damn tight it gets stuck in my head constantly. IT'S SO CLEAN

[@Ordoxable]

That intro.. that transition ...my knees 🥺

[@thatguy4187]

Something about his cleans remind me so much of the Human Abstracts original vocalist. Such a good band.

[@JSTPband]

These Australian metalcore/djent bands have such a distinct sound 🤘🏼

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

Best metalcore album in years. Need this on vinyl.

[@Ephesians6.11]

Been following you all since the beginning. please come to America when the chance is presented bois much love from KY

[@sandrojunior9195]

One of the greatest songs I known

[@CoreCommunity]

Seriously good stuff 🔥

[@ms1914]

This dudes voice is so captivating! Very unique! I can only think of one other similar voice tone and that is the lead singer from the band Flaw. Waiting for the album!!

[@0stringking0]

ms1914 check out Crooked Royals. Almost the same voice in a lot of ways. Only difference is they have two vox and this dude does it all himself!

[@GregtheGrey6969]

Flaw/taproot

[@philwatz2964]

All the way from Dallas, TX USA and just saw this video pop up on /r/metalcore at 6:30 am... gave it a listen and was instantly hooked on the intro. That acoustic is something you don’t hear in metalcore and then just ripping into the first verse - my goodness! Love the vocalist too, from his energy and stage presence all the way to his cleans. Super unique. Y’all are GOOD. It’s like Australia’s no. domestic export is sick metal... northlane, PWD, Polaris, amity, in Heart’s wake, I killed the prom queen, thy art is murder, and next up... ABOVE, BELOW. Much love guys - keep going! 🤘🏼

[@Spoooshi]

im the guy that put it on r/metalcore

[@loganpeed3606]

Check out Arkive. Also from Australia.

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

Invent, Animate is from Texas man, and they're the gold standard for this sound

[@watsgoodbrahh]

This vocalist needs more recognition. Damn

[@rafk8011]

the blasbeat and the clean melo vox is spot on

[@jeremyduran8896]

I thought this song was awesome, and then I looked up the lyrics... one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time

[@dgoo8294]

Man when he jumps into the cleans again after the first verse it genuinely gives me chills. Fucking beautiful.

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

unbelievably good. faith in new music restored.

[@dylanriggcarr]

Slaps

[@jeremygutierrez1952]

The vocals are indeed superb but mans with the sticks has a serious funk to his play.

[@jonathanlima9017]

Amazing music! Best album of 2019

[@bencappelletti]

This intro is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Aerogenic_X]

This sound is unmatched in a good way to progressive cosmic energy

[@heidegetreide]

Pretty much listened to this for 8 hours straight - so incredibly good! Can't wait for the album!

[@marcusfigueroa665]

Been listening to this song everyday at work and sometimes all day

[@Shymadinger]

Those cleeeaaannnsss!!!!

[@Psycat123]

This album is gonna be nuts. Much love.

[@WonTomYT]

The cleans remind me of Intervals, which is awesome! Sick video and thanks for HDR

[@RyansCustomShopandGearOutlet]

I emerged from a rabbit hole journey here. Good stuff! Like and subscribed!

[@SojournWithUs]

This is dope. Can't wait to come across these guys slaying on one of our hikes.

[@xdarkxbloomx]

Stumbled across this in Sopitfy recommended... goddamn this SLAPS

[@kevindangelo1091]

This band is on another level rhythmically. Everyone talks about meshuggah and rightfully so but these guys deserve more attention

[@gamingnuggets5465]

Wow you guys are underrated

[@nathanielsmith4110]

You had me at blast beats

[@cloudrise]

This album is such a masterpiece. This band deserves the best!!

[@StevenM801]

yooo this tone rocks

[@marcusfigueroa665]

Oh my god

[@crb6852]

I can't get enough of this song, it's been on repeat since i first heard it. So sick guys, looking forward to the album!

[@betraydan_]

Originality: This shit checks out!

[@Unseen4ce]

I'd kill for that album design on a shirt. This song is amazing! Cannot wait for The Lotus Chapters.

[@StarlordStavanger]

Just found this song out today! Your 2017 EP I still play that shit! Can't wait for The Lotus Chapters to be released, your guys music is amazing. Much love from USA!

[@resonantshadow]

I can't get enough of you guys. Band of the year for me.

[@cam201040]

Such great shit, it's a crime you guys aren't bigger. But I have a feeling it will come.

[@marcusfigueroa1365]

This should have way more likes....

[@rawbone1396]

best stuff in 2019

[@drumsno]

Eagerly anticipating another full length!!!!

[@gr33nday131]

I know I'm late to the show but this is by far one of the best songs I've ever listened to, so much talent in this band it's unbelievable, and idk why this song just gives me chills with how great the intro is

[@FLmetalhead]

Sick

[@quantumvflux]

I love this album so much!!!

[@meantime69]

Just stopped back to check on this wonderful band

[@dyslexicthebear5620]

As someone who loves nature there's something about this song that just hits me differently. Love this song more than most I've heard in the past few years. it gives you this vibe of just.. raw, unadultered cycle of life, and the autonomy of nature, and just how small we are in our earth's complex machine. This song is beautiful and I stand by that. These artists and this song deserve to be known.

[@gregoryridge8859]

Better late than never. You've made me a fan. Good stuff guys. Similar feel to Artifex Pereo.

[@elijahphipps2172]

Masterpiece

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

this goes in

[@tylerjenkins2271]

Gotta disagree with anyone saying your old sound was better; this is your best work so far. I hope there's lots more of this more mature sound on the rest of the album! You've got a new listener in Texas.

[@P2HJTG]

Just ordered the your discography pre-order bundle and am very excited to hear this album

[@sebastianthiel282]

I'm here for... - the 1,000 Like! - this Intro - the melodic and heavy riffs - the voices - ... and everything else!!!!

[@keyowah1]

WOW! Thank you for creating this!

[@denyspetrov580]

WOW. Beautiful!

[@keyamcgeown2576]

Omg little Jason ❤️ love this video and song so much

[@incrdble9704]

[@mrohday7515]

[@brutalvocalcovers]

What an incredible song. Iv been obsessed with this song for a couple days now. Very pleased to see there is a video to accompany this masterpiece.

[@xSinister_]

[@blazetube80]

This album is gonna be my fav album of the year.

[@evanlentz417]

Huge track boys! Congrats. Link up soon, yeah?

[@jtron4789]

Everything about this is amazing. A very unique take on the genre and the lyrics/vocals just completely home in the sound.

[@timekeepermedia5142]

I'm extremely impressed. Seriously keep it up

[@jasminechavez7653]

[@TheGameGuru]

The intro dude, I swear

[@Xanniron]

I love absolutely everything about this song. I was hooked immediately on the instrumental and vocal prowess and then I pulled up the lyrics so that I could sing along and I was absolutely blown away at the masterful lyricism. Truly truly amazing work by everyone involved.

[@lucidskater]

Damn I love this band! So creative

[@otavioaugusto8571]

that's so different from anything else in the scene, so cool

[@philwatz2964]

Otavio Augusto exactly what I’m saying... that acoustic intro into the first verse was so beautiful

[@meaganallen6569]

This is a legit masterpiece. 😍🔥

[@drumsno]

It's in my head all the time

[@goldenbrettfx90]

I know, right? Catchy shit. 🤔

[@mehrank6880]

I dig this :)

[@jamiedoherty5330]

41k views in two years is criminal

[@cynica1330]

I've listened to a ton of metal in my life and I think, on average, I'm not too impressed by much any more. This is an exception. This is a magnificent song.

[@josephvanni]

Yess! Been waiting for new tracks from you guys! Different vibe on this one but keep up the good work! Can’t wait for LP

[@andrewdear467]

This band is absolutely incredible, if you listen to one song ever, make it this one. Absolutely beautiful , stunning work. I can’t wait to hear more... I’m hooked

[@MuftaDjenter]

Guys,this song is awesome, where can i find/buy tabs for this ?

[@abvblw]

We may offer them up at some point in the future, keep your eyes on our socials and we'll see.

[@joelle1able]
