[@debbiemccune1952]

Why is every Apocalyptica collab the best song I have every heard? ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@marinacantoni664]

This is really epic, an incredible collaboration and once again a breathtaking masterpiece by Apocalyptica. Elize's voice is so perfect for this song and the video is really beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this video premiere! ❤

[@DDAngel1]

✋🏻😊

[@karolykiss6752]

Not bad, not bad, but the good is not like this.

[@Metzwerg74]

they really lost it since they had the drums...

[@commandercelestia8738]

A masterpiece?? Lol. It's a trash, not even close to levels of old Apocaliptica or even Amaranthe. Meh...

[@jerryleonard4730]

EPIC.....??????? EPIC gets a million views in a year or so it's ok and probably gets 100k in infinity

[@johnaraujo466]

Elize Ryd shows us that she can do many things and in each project she sounds original and adapts her style to the bands

[@richardott877]

Exactly what I thought, she is sensational. I love to watch and hear her

[@axele45]

L-O-V-E 😍😍😍❤️🎧

[@jamescheddar4896]

She needs a lead vocal project

[@ruud1830]

We could say the same thing for Apocalyptica.

[@jasonlib1996]

Apocalyptica's incredible instrumentals with elize and her goddess voice, just works so well together

[@fragem1942]

Apocalyptica now has songs with two of the three (Holy Trinity) female singers. Simone Simon's and Elize Ryd. When will Floor Jansen make an appearance and complete the collection? 🤯🙏🙏🙏Please!!!!!!!

[@jimmymortensen9625]

Don't forget their collaboration with Cristina Scabbia and Lzzy Hale - amazing. I would also like a collaboration with Floor 😀

[@theOGjaaxter]

I can't wait for Melissa Bonnie to be added to that list! She's having a meteoric rise over the last few years.

[@Doctor-Stoppage]

I'd like to see them so a song with Noora Louhimo from Battle Beast as well.

[@grazita77]

Charlote Wessels❤

[@Daantjuwh]

Fabienne Erni as well please

[@crazymelomanka]

Elize and Apocalyptica? Wow! Thanks for this colab, it is perfect! ❤

[@Davead504]

Amazing 🖤

[@todamy3705]

I see “Elize Ryd”, click Like 👍🏻, and patiently wait for the awesomeness to come! 🤘

[@arcticphoenix2789]

Elize Ryd is one of the best female singers I have ever heard. Amaranthe would nor be Amaranthe without her.

[@N1kto_N1gde]

Yes, Eliza has a wonderful voice and she sings great, but in most cases the songs are meaningless and it’s some kind of dance pop-metal

[@THECELTICIBERIAN]

​​@@N1kto_N1gde Amaranthe is only popular because of Elize,s looks

[@hillarycourchaine6829]

I agree 💯, her vocals are outstanding 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤘🤩🤘🤩🤘🤘

[@lapinofpersia4277]

No she is not. Saw 3 times Amaranthe live, with Beyond the Black, Sabaton, Powerwolf, she is terrible without studio magic. Always been an awful experience. Guys are great tho. We can hear the autotune in most Amaranthe songs

[@zeldwarra3067]

@@lapinofpersia4277 absolutely right. even from the current cast of Amaranth, she is completely killed in a live performance by Mikael. And I’m generally silent about Nils. When Lundberg was in the band, the all voices were still relatively audible. now - hug and cry.

[@mehditaba4657]

I know Apocalyptica since 2004 and I still love them. ThAnX for the music.

[@dingoto]

Apocalyptic voice and apocalyptic performance by these GOATS❤

[@--GOAT]

They're very good but I wouldn't call them goats. :)

[@Keon753]

Holy shit, Elize seems legit limitless right now, top of the game, shes showing the crazy range of her abilities the last few years with all the things outside Amaranthine she's gotten in on. Love Amaranthine, always loved Elize's vocal style and sound, and seeing her really spread her wings vocally and get involved with so many other little one off side appearances is awesome, really showcasing her ability!

[@gregmacdonald666]

There's always room in the collection for another Apocalyptica album

[@SugarandSarcasm]

Hell yes there is

[@ALEMONIF]

Cuando pensás que ya scuchaste lo mejor, sacan otra.... Inigualables, Genios!!!!🥰

[@Izzy-oe6te]

AWESOME MUSIC! ❤

[@Chris.Brisson]

You just earned a new 63 year old subscriber.

[@cybeliometalbest25]

It's as if the soul of the cellos met the celestial essence of Elize. A divine piece!

[@MrXAIC]

Apocalyptica... ON FIRE... What We're Up Against...

[@ChiaroLight]

Great cooperation! Amazing music from guys and divine vocal from gorgeous Elize!!!

[@chrispanasuk]

Love Elize's voice, powerful video, Hope this becomes a big hit for you.

[@jhondoe3442]

She knows a lot of ninjutsu hand signs. Hands. HANDS. Beautiful song.

[@Quazee137]

They always find the best voice for the song. Just LOVE all their works.

[@Metzwerg74]

but their best, were wthout singers... nowdays they´re just another metal band

[@Chazorian]

@@Metzwerg74 Their best were Worlds Collide and this is decent song.

[@Metzwerg74]

@@Chazorian their best were the first two albums, and afterward, it went down... and yes, it is a decent song.... not a great one... from just another metal band

[@Metzwerg74]

@@Chazorian just gave worlds collide a re listen... was about the era, where i left apocalyptica for dead...

[@Chazorian]

@@Metzwerg74 Didn't they just release Cell-0 album which is supposed to sound like their old stuff? Or is the drums you don't like?

[@1977Yakko]

You gotta love the result when a group of artists who are the epitome of talent team up and make something like this.

[@nuclear.musicaddict]

This is amazing! I think I need to play it around 50 more times today to appreciate it fully, though 😅 Apocalyptica never fails me ❤

[@pavlavokolkova6468]

Úžasná píseň. Spojení Apocalyptica a Elize Ryd je dokonalé ❤❤❤❤

[@petrjansky9245]

Elize je opravdu skvělá....

[@GARYBLONDER]

Collaborations don't always come off (unless it involves Melissa Bonny) but this one is a rip-roaring success!! A great opening riff, great melody, an excellent multitracked/harmonised vocal, good lyrics, great structure and crisp production. A Symphonic Metal masterpiece. It's a must-own. My Score: Excellent 5*

[@Runamuck-vq2pe]

amazing song ... Elize is perfect here !!!

[@jymmid.8278]

A whole album with Elize please

[@yunusemreselcuk2128]

Apocalyptica and Elize rocking, fabulous! Who's feeding you fear for guidance Who gets you to buy the lies Make you cease your defiance The night has a million eyes Slowly they're getting closer Breathing down our necks And with every crack in the cornerstones The stronger and bolder they get (Chorus) Once upon a time there was light and darkness Now we don't see When hell is upon us Or the devils grin We don't know what we're up against Who to fight on thе other side We don't know thе consequence When doom has come for everyone We defy the call of duty We deny the rise of cruelty Time and time and time again We don't know what we're up against The path of least resistance Leads to a golden cage A long way off in the distance Your choices are fading away The apathy that surrounds us Is breaking us all apart Strapping ourself in a fortress In a prison cell with no bars (Chorus, etc.)

[@ravenblackfeather4028]

That main riff is so catchy. Love this collaboration. I've seen Apocalyptica live and they never disappoint. This is one killer song. 🤘💀🤘🎶🔥💥

[@darthcerebrus5074]

I think we have a golden age of metal happening .In the past year there have been so many great collaborations between bands and vocalists that it just boggles the mind.😮😮

[@Dnp4real]

💯 & I’m here for it! 🤘🏽

[@johnnymac4842]

This sounds more like Amaranthe than the actual band. Love it!

[@canarionazo78]

Only apocaliptyca can do this..❤❤❤🎉🎉great song

[@TheParez]

+ Elize, dont sell her part short in this

[@murphy9464]

Wow...this is fantastic, can't quit listening. Elize's vocals are perfect. Great tune. Would love to see them work together more.

[@Neko-uq9cr]

I have been listen to Elizes beautiful voice for years. Always liked it and always enjoyed her voice. I am flashed by her voice in this song. Elize did a fantastic job.

[@metalground212]

Do we have apocalyptica and Marko Hietala? Please we need it!!!!!!

[@azjazielona]

Needed it? What you needed?!

[@BlackenedBeauty]

Great collaboration!!! I adore the voice of this amazing singer. Thank you for a perfect musical experience❣️

[@RockenGangster]

the next tour needs to be you, amaranthe, epica, and lacuna coil. and they do the collabs 🤩🥰 (still bummed Cristina didn't do SOS in Atlanta though) love this so much! the lyrics are piercingly true. so beautifully mixed up. so great to have Elize join on this. wonderful ❤

[@schneeroseful]

They just did a Tour with epica. I saw them in Ludwigsburg, Epica unfortunately had Sound problems

[@AcinonyxJay]

YES! What a dream lineup!

[@husseinmohammed8654]

Apocalyptica is spoiling us 🖤🤍

[@doctordoris]

Блестяще! Элиза потрясающа! Плюс природная притягательность и обаяние. А талантище!❤ Apocalyptica, как всегда, безупречна.

[@Pathogenic43]

Why am i just now finding out about this... Amaranthe has been my absolute favorite band for so long

[@ch_vky148]

Weird thing. She sounds and looks in this song much better than in a few last Amarante's singles. Just IMHO, no offences to anyone, but damn she's good in fine music&videos!

[@vinsiq]

Next step: a collaboration with Noora Louhimo, please! 🤩

[@bmstylee]

Noora is a beast. That would be cool.

[@TS-pq1xm]

Давненько ребят с виолончелями не было слышно. Приятное возвращение!!

[@virverinkari7802]

Both👌Elize and our own Apocalyptica

[@Sheklen]

Soooo amazing!!! Love Elize Ryd as an addition, she is amazing!!!

[@MichaelBradley1967]

Another great track and you can never go wrong with Elize. The only thing I could ask for is a 4K version of the video.

[@MAEternal]

Elize Ryd powinna występować prakrycznie z każdym z takich zespołów jako feat.💪💪💪 Jest po prostu NIESAMOWITA!!!

[@oliveiradavid]

Amazing song! Great chorus! Elize... she's perfect! Best choice!

[@corinna007]

My dream collaboration may still be just a dream, but this is fantastic. ❤ Elize is so great! Love it!

[@georgezannis3503]

More please!! You all sound amazing! What a great song this is!!👏💥💯

[@donnyg.]

The song, the production, is awesome. The thought, the reflection of truth, is haunting. The realization of the truth is daunting. Mankind, and our future is clouded, despite the promise. 🤘

[@missrubyphoenix]

This gives me broken pieces + not strong enough + I don't care vibes. I'm so glad you haven't lost "that" particular sound while evolving, through all these years.

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

Another kickass song from this group. I really like the fact they use different singers in their songs.

[@tiffanyzappulla755]

She's flawlessly gorgeous and so talented. Perfect combo here!

[@alejandrorosales6937]

Eiza ryd keep rocking those cool songs 🎵 sing from the heart ❤ and body beauty for the people in so many countries like Paris London New York city Sweden 🇸🇪 so much this virus is a major pain so be strong 💪 careful don't let it control you focus on the future and the songs you're band likes to sing

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

I saw you perform in Antwerp, nearly four years ago. Elize has joined you guys as well on stage. Damn good concert. So seeing this again, is a blast to the past.

This is the music I thought died out years ago, and I convinced myself I grew past. I never did. I just forgot what I've been missing all this time.

[@ivanalmeida302]

This is a legendary collaboration, the song is perfect, the synergy between Apocalyptica and Elize is incredible, it's a shame that we fans follow our artists to the death and they don't know that we exist

[@preference8803]

Мне понравилось, просто охуенно, звучит современно

[@TheMrMused]

Two of my favorites!! This is fantastic!!!

[@mursuhillo242]

I can only imagine the phone call that ended up in this... monument. Any one of the drunk Finns trying to impress Elize with Finlandsswedish with random Finnish interjections, eventually devolving into rally English. Only for Elize to embrace her mother's heritage and cuss them all in perfect Finnish, ending in simply stating "Yes."

[@heidifoss6788]

Wow awesome thank you for sharing looking forward to hearing more. ❤️‍🔥

[@TheStefan6969]

Oh this is fantastic!!!! Elize sounds great as always too!!! 🤘😝🤘

[@beldin2987]

[@gambit1843]

my Childhood Queen and The 4 Cello Kings - is there a better crossover? I don't think so

[@Dnp4real]

While I was more than ecstatic to attend a concert to see WT perform live when they’ve toured in the US in 2014, I’m equally thankful for learning about Elize & Amaranthe, who was the opening band of that show!

[@JustBored589]

I went as well and didn’t know Amaranthe at that time it wasn’t until years later that I really got into them!

[@ivanstanchev3483]

This might be my favorite Apocalyptica song since Not Strong Enough with Brent Smith of Shinedown. Got me headbanging like in my teenage years :D Great work!

@@jackstone8286 I’m not too familiar with them actually but yeah, Elize lol

[@jackstone8286]

I will be honest, I have not heard a lot of them in recent times, but I have been on an Amaranthe kick for a while now, listening almost exclusively to them lately. Also caught her collab with Dragonforce and it was also super amazing.@@MetalGildarts

[@MetalGildarts]

@@jackstone8286 yeah I watched that right after thsi one! I’m gonna finally dig into Amaranthe next year! They recently came to my neck of the woods, opening for Drangonforce.

This song is going t be one of my absolute favorites of 2024! It is so good! This kicks ass for sure! The way you bring the metal with your classic instruments is so badass! And to bring one of my absolute favorite singers in to this mix is just genious! So as a conclussion I am going to say, Voi perkele pojat! Tämä biisi on niin helvetin hyvä! Love from sweden! 💙💛💙
