Arkana - Iskatallith [FULL ALBUM]

[@coulombicdistortion1814]

By far the most underrated music creator I've seen on KZbin.

[@etiennechamps9142]

From what i already saw, i agree

[@user-fp5dw4ff3d]

I hope you make more songs eventually. These are one of a kind

[@MyJoseHD]

I'm gonna put my thoughs about the entire album and other aspects in general. (Long Post, but worth reading) I encourage people to do the same. Every track is a true masterpiece, the album is fresh, I really can't conceive the amount of effort and detail you put in every piece, but we know for sure you gave EVERYTHING, your energy, your heart, time, soul, creativity, talent, passion, we can feel it in every second, you tried and experimented with new ideas, that's why this album is so unique. The tracks are so complex that it'll take months or years of intense listeling to notice all the ear candy, changes of samples and patters. This is not the kind of album you consume in minutes, not a chance, if you do that you did't listen the album. You also surprised us with even MORE and took things to the next level creating a visual story, a deep universe... I wouldn't imagined that in a million of years and it's difficult to describe how fascinating it is. I never pay for music but It's impossible for me not to buy this album because how many artists take the time to put that effort?, how many of them are willing to spend years learning just to make an album instead of constantly releasing songs with no soul?. I'm sure someday you'll explode so don't get discouraged by the numbers, I can assure you that you have no idea how many lives you're changing TODAY with your music, you're setting new standars for the music industry, creating and spiring new producers wich probably will have your same vission about music. I'm sure you felt pressured because Ein Sof set insane high standars and you didn't want to dissapoint us, you didn't, actually you exceeded our expectations, I just can pay my deepest respects your you, for your work and for what you represent, thanks for everything Sam.

dude this is so beautiful. this is exactly how i feel, you described it perfectly 😭😭😭

I never thought i would love anything so much. I heard techno, and i fell in love. I heard Two Steps from hell, and i was head over heels. But this, ive never felt such enthusiasm from music like yours. Your art, your energy, is so different from anything ive ever felt in my entire life, and i want to feel like this, as i listen to your music, and feel the universe flow around me and through me, i want to hear your tunes. With Ein Sof, everyone was blown the fuck away, and you may have found that intimidating. But you did an even better job. Ein sof brought with it beauty and rage and anger, but Iskatallith brought with it depth and a silent, intimidating power that brilliantly outshone all the music ive ever heard. So than you, Arkana, for this.

[@arkanavoid]

Thank you!

[@kitnfall]

wowwww that's so well said

[@14.faizakamilar14]

Found this on spotify and not dissapointed. This is truly amazing

[@apolloshred6772]

Do you know this moment when, as a music lover, you randomly discover a song that immediately fits your soul among a plethora of other songs ? So you listen to it entirely. Then the entire album, tripping, thinking you’ve finally found THE ONE, song after song. I’m fully into this process right now. And there’s a lot of chances you’re into it as well if you’re reading this. And all of you here, know as much as I do, how rare and precious this feeling is. It’s like falling in love. So thank you Arkana. Your music reach souls.

[@kitnfall]

i feel exactly the same way

[@Aeryix]

absolutely insane album, masterful sound design and creativity. you really set the bar high with this one - can't wait for what comes next :D

[@arkanavoid]

thank you so much

[@StefanoTheBrazilian]

I seriously don't know exactly what to say here. Every time, every single time you make something, it is beautiful, it is unique, it is majestic, it's, for the lack of any other words, perfect. Your music is from the soul, it speaks to the soul. When I listen to any of your songs, I close my eyes, and I see, I see the music, I see shapes and forms, I see color, I see light and darkness, I see a story being formed in front of me, as every new note writes a new paragraph of this story on my soul. You have no idea how much you inspire me, inspire me to put passion on my work, inspire me to reach for greatness. I don't know what else I could add here, this album got me in a loss for words for how perfect it is, from the first note to the last one, it's an adventure, and a very good one on that. I guess I'll finish this comment by thanking you, when I say you inspired me it's quite literally, your music inspired me to write my books, and for that I can only thank you. And I am already feeling the inspiration to more stories coming from this album. Now I think I'm not exaggerating when I say that you are one of my heroes. (ps I was the 69th comment hehe funny number)

[@kainarobinson742]

This music has been influential in my weight loss. I think I've listened to at least 4 or 5 songs a day, every day, since discovering your music. Thank you. The other day, my wife and I were listening to this album and having a fun time talking about what videogame it best would go for. "Pharro's Lockstone is def. about a futuristic robotic mummy."

[@blizard72]

You're pure magic when it comes to this. How do you do this every single time. I'm musically whisked away on a journey when I hit play. And thrown back in my seat the second it stops. What just happened and what have you done to me.

[@florin1935]

Thank you for the recomendation, Tim

[@wescrites2069]

Astonishing talent, beautiful layering, precision beats, colorful sound, dark and mysterious while promising Light at the same time.... Fantastic!

[@kimeasily1572]

When these tracks were individually released, I listened to these without headphones; instead using low-quality built-in speakers. But I finally sat down and listened to them properly (with headphones), and they have transformed into an audible cinematography. Each song is quite unique and overflowing in so many little details that one would spend a long time trying to find them all. For instance, at the start of Echoes of Elruthen (26:11) there's a little whisper repeating a few syllables over and over again, fading into the background. And there are these moments (26:50, 29:42) with violins(?) that I love hearing over and over again... *Sigh*, I fear these descriptions are not enough. Just keep doing stuff like this, Arkana. If the future contains more music with this sheer attention to detail, skill, and quite obviously a LOT of blood, sweat, and tears put into it... that would be one incredible reason on my (already large) list to look forward to it.

[@arkanavoid]

love the phrase "audible cinematography". thank you!

[@Xigase]

This album has the perfect mix of electronic /Glitchy sounds and instrumental orchestral sounds to keep it interesting throughout. The plucking or tapping of violin strings as a lead melody through many of the tracks is just a pleasure to my ears. This is ear-candy! :0 Very very inspiring for something dystopic. I am really impressed!

[@DeliRabbitGaming]

This is so good, holy crap. Best album I've ever heard. The uniqueness and creativity of the music, plus intriguing with its own story to tell, full of mystery and just absolutely awesome shit. Sharing this with *everyone* I know. As a novice writer, this is incredibly inspiring.

[@ETRecords]

I don't know what I'm more impressed, if it's by the stunning sound design and originality of the songs or if it's by the God-tier visuals!! Fantastic work

[@tezlatower2362]

Not even kidding, these tracks could literally be the music for my survival game, and ein sof would be the best final boss track ever.

[@clo4]

It feels inappropriate to watch this without headphones. Congrats on the release and keep up the amazing work, this is something special! The dedication and skill really shine through.

[@pokemon100200]

I never realized how little love these amazing songs get. I really hope you come back and make music again because I have loved your songs for years.

Came here from Scrubnoobs playlist and Ein Sof, it was slapping so hard i got intrigued and now i can't stop listening to all ur stuff. You are great artist my friend, i see a big future and if someone sees this comment in 5 years, congratulations, you found the gem boiz.

[@thaddeusanthony1180]

This album makes me feel so masterful while working on my projects...like some evil mad painter or something. I'm big on sound design....and you...well, I haven't heard anyone who makes what you do

[@jaisheejpaul608]

You are criminally underrated! This album is a fucking masterpiece and it is an experience just listening all the way through. I am inspired to say the least. Great job man I hope you continue to push out more incredible music like this, you have blown my mind.

[@cosmicmuse2195]

I've started using this album as background music for the current Temple Crawl I'm about to start running for my home game.

[@roguemethod5597]

Absolutely wonderful music! Takes me back to my favorite games that I played as a kid like Fable, Halo and Tomb Raider!

[@danielsjogren1655]

Listened to all of the songs individually as singles last night, was happy to see that there was an easy way to enjoy them as a full album! Personally I think this is my favorite work of yours thus far! :) This time around you really nailed the mysterious and abstract vibe together with the orchestral arrangements. Its feels at times like a mix of exploring ancient ruins but with an alien vibe to it - keep it up

[@keyshawnmatthews4530]

Yeah, probably one the best albums I've ever listened to. I love the visuals as well.

[@arkanavoid]

[@psixi7230]

Heard this on autoplay, had to alt tab just to check what exactly it was. Really imaginative pieces. Einvik's Curse and Iskallith are my favourites.

[@blissseeker4719]

Second time through I realise how much more I appreciate this work or art. Some pieces of music are too chaotic for my taste but at it's soul I like what has been created here. Well done, you should be happy.

Your album encouraged me with new ideas for a world I'm designing to be shared with others someday. I'm always looking for good musical content that is paired with excellent videos, as rare as they are. Yours falls into a category all its own that inspires creativity, boldly trys new things and attempts at laying the groundwork for something potentially new. Sincerely, I thank you.

[@forlornvalley]

Hello Arkana. Hope you're doing well. Ein Sof is one of my favourite collection of music ever, and Kether has been a loyal companion of mine almost everyday for the past 4 years. While your newest creation, Iskatallith, isn't really my cup of tea, I still respect it a lot as it is a product of your journey as a composer. The EP for Mage Noir is also extremely well done, albeit a little short and left me wanting more. Good luck with whatever you are currently working on. Just know that some of us are waiting patiently, always.

Haven't listened to anything like this before... the whole concept of music and visuals is beautiful and it looks like A LOT of work and refinement went into it. It's crazy, that something so well crafted is just a small niche here on youtube. Im curious, if the visuals are inspired by the new Amnesia: Rebirth game, because these mysterious ruins in the desert, the lovecraftian architecture, the shiny blue light and even the compass thingy are very similar to the things appearing in the game.
