AVIATIONS "Legend" (Official Music Video) NEW ALBUM "Luminaria" OUT NOW

[@aviationsband]

Thanks for listening! Y'all are too kind. Glad you dig the insanity we're putting out. Much love to my bandmates for trusting me with this video and Adam Bentley/Jen Bogren (god tier team) for that massive final polish on a rollercoaster of a tune. Onto the next one! (More on that soon... very soon.) - Sam 👻

[@taylortw1tch237]

I love that this almost serves as a parallel from "Safehouse". While"Safehouse" was mainly upbeat and happy, this just is terrifying and heavy, and both were pulled off perfectly. The intro to this video was clever and well done, too. I can't wait to hear what's to come.

It’s like a modern day human abstract … it’s so good 😭

[@andrewholderfield7319]

This is so damn amazing. GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!

[@JamesKnoerl]

[@rogersaver2606]

The old Opeth style solo got me feelin some kinda way

[@blumenmusic]

speaking of Legend, you all should watch the movie The Legend of 1900, great movie with Tim Roth as a pianist.

[@blumenmusic]

The story is told in the midst of the plot as a series of flashbacks. Max Tooney, a musician, enters a secondhand music shop just before closing time, badly in need of money. He has only his old Conn trumpet, which he sells for less than he had hoped. Clearly torn at parting from his prized possession, he asks to play it one last time. The shopkeeper agrees, and as he plays, the vendor immediately recognizes that the played song is the same recorded on a broken record matrix (master disc) he found inside a recently acquired secondhand piano. He asks who the piece is by, and Max tells him the story of 1900. 1900 was found abandoned in the first class dining room of the four stacker ocean liner SS Virginian, a baby in a box. Danny Boodman, a coal-man from the boiler room, is determined to raise the boy as his own. He names the boy Danny Boodman T. D. Lemon 1900 (a combination of his own name, an advertisement found on the box and the year he was found) and hides him from the ship's officers. A few years later Danny is killed in a workplace accident; when police officers, called by captain Smith, come on the ship to pick him up and bring him to the orphanage, 1900 hides and nobody sees him for several days, until he reappears playing a piano very well without having ever been taught. 1900 shows a particular gift for music and eventually grows up, joining the ship's orchestra. When Max is hired as a member of the orchestra in 1927, the two musicians become close friends, with 1900 that never leaves the vessel. The outside world is too "big" for his imagination at this point. He stays current with outside musical trends as passengers explain new music trends or styles, which he immediately picks up and starts playing for them. His reputation as a pianist is so renowned that Jelly Roll Morton, of New Orleans jazz fame, hearing of 1900's skill, comes aboard to challenge him to a piano duel. After hearing Jelly Roll Morton's first tune, 1900 plays a piece so simple and well known ("Silent Night") that the self-proclaimed inventor of jazz feels mocked. As Morton becomes more determined to display his talent, he plays an impressive tune ("The Crave") that brings tears to 1900's eyes. 1900 calmly sits down at the piano and plays from memory the entire tune that Morton had just played. His playing fails to impress the crowd until his original piece ("Enduring Movement"), of such virtuosity and superhuman speed that the metal piano strings become hot enough to light a cigarette, which he hands to Morton as a gesture of victory. A record producer, hearing of 1900's prowess and knowing that he doesn't want to leave the ship, brings a recording apparatus aboard and cuts a demo record of a 1900 original composition. He creates the piece, inspired by a woman (The Girl) who has just boarded and mesmerizes him. When he hears the recording, 1900 takes the master disc, offended at the prospect of anyone hearing the music without him having performed it live. He then tries to give the master to The Girl who inspired it, but is unable to and breaks it into pieces. The story flashes back to the mid-1940s periodically, as Max (who has left the ship's orchestra in 1933) is seen trying to lure 1900 out of the now-deserted hull of the vessel, because the shopkeeper has revealed that the piano where the record had been found was recovered from the ship. Having served as a hospital ship and transport in World War II, it is scheduled to be scuttled and sunk far offshore. Max manages to get aboard with the recording 1900 made long ago and plays it, hoping to find him out. Max and 1900 finally meet again and 1900 is irremovable about sinking with the ship, being daunted by the immenseness of the world. He feels his fate is tied to the ship, and cannot bring himself to leave the only home he has ever known. Max feels useless that he couldn't save his friend and the two have a touching last conversation. The shopkeeper asks Max how the record got into the secondhand piano. Max indicates that he put it there, and the shopkeeper tells him he wasn't so useless after all. Then, as Max is leaving the store, the shopkeeper gives him the trumpet back, without asking for money and saying "A good story is worth more than an old trumpet," and Max walks out as another customer walks in.

I did not have Aviations using screams on my prog bingo card this year. This is such a fucking cool and different song for you guys, the direction of this album looks well "legendary" ;) Edit: 4:03 Wow and thall

[@aviationsband]

Thanks or listening m8. New song just dropped. Check the page

[@jaydenjbryant8665]

Ice nine kills vibes for sure🔥🔥

[@TimsGamesDoneHard]

I was NOT expecting a song like this from Aviations, I'm in love! Adam's harsh vocals sound awesome and the whole mood of the song is just excellent. Everyone is on point in this one, love Richard with the piano on fire, can't wait for the album!

[@aviationsband]

New song just dropped. Have a great weekend ;*

[@squillybobjoe]

The cinematography is undoubtedly some of the best ive ever seen in a music video. I never knew how much i needed to see Richard play a solo with his piano on fire 🧯🔥🔥

[@aviationsband]

Richards solo on the new song is pretty fire 🔥

[@Technatura83]

So ummm...that song kicked my ass. Well done.

[@zachtheboy781]

So I FINALLY get to hear that riff in the intro used this year??? Color me happy boi.

[@chronoking4399]

How the fuck you guys cram so much skill and talent in a room and the walls are left still standing is beyond unreal. Bravo sons.

[@him5698]

Holy shit, Adam's vocals have only gotten better man. What a great song. The journey is amazing. Everyone in the band has gotten better, can't wait for the next album.

[@ogdimora]

Crazy and wild ride epic... and just fantastic!

[@wby5491]

Another banger 🔥🔥

[@morganholloman6650]

Guys seriously I love you all, thank you for existing

[@Felipe..Vieira]

this is probably adam's best performance you guys make dream theater sound like coldplay

[@mattsrick6041]

what these crazy guys do is supernatural, very few modern bands take so many risks to make masterpieces. Long songs, complex compositions, melodic changes and not to mention the members that each one is more virtuous than the other. I would love them to come to Argentina, but I know that this kind of bands don't have as much merit and recognition as they should. but it wouldn't be bad to make a big event with many of these modern bands. i think i would start crying if i see in the news that Aviations is coming to Argentina with Periphery, among others... Thanks for so much. looking forward to the new album.

[@d1rkSMATHERS]

Wow when did you guys get Casey Crescenzo to start doing the vocals!?

Been a fan of yours since I stumbled upon your Berklee video years ago, and this already might be my favourite song of yours yet. Looking forward to the new album!

[@cauapaulon167]

My dear God... How i love soo much Aviations! This band is the peak of stunning compositions and varieties of elements, maaaaan i loved to see Adam doing screaming, and Blumen was literally on fire on the piano, wonderful video edition as usual, Sam, you guys are amazing and i love soo much you all! 💙💙💙

[@jw4792]

Very quickly, with each listen, becoming my favorite vocalist in the scene.

[@alainmonier4751]

J'adore !!!

[@GoodKid]

This was my first introduction to Aviations and not gonna lie this has quickly become one of my favorite songs currently. Not sure if you guys will take this as a compliment or insult depending on your taste, but to me this really makes me think of an interesting mix between "Ghost of Perdition" by Opeth and " I'm Not a Vampire (Revamped)" by Falling in Reverse with a heathy flavor of prog. Regardless, you guys are killing it and hope you guys really blow up!

[@aviationsband]

That’s a pretty sick comparison. If we did anything remotely close to Opeth worthy things then we’re stoked haha

[@kevinmcquade1688]

Absolutely incredible!

[@ErickSilva-oj6dh]

AAHHHHH! 😱😱😱 The beginning is scary! 👻💀☠️ This music is so badass! Let's go Aviations! 🤟🏼😝🤟🏼😝🤟🏼😝🤟🏼😝

After a very long time of not listening to this band I randomly decided to revisit them today and I listened to Outliers and some stuff from The Light Years. And then their first new album material in 5 years comes out 2 hours later. Crazy.

Fr, I hadn't jammed anything since A Declaration Of Sound since metal doesn't usually do it for me these days... saw James share this one Facebook today and decided to click and dang, this do slap different.

Been a fan since The Light Years dropped. Listened back in 2018 and immediately knew you were going in a very small pile of bands like Protest the Hero and Mastodon that I can just put an album on and listen to the whole thing without ever worrying about skipping a track. It's been a while, but more and more people also seem to be seeing what I saw in this music years ago now which is much deserved on your end. Song's great as always, appreciate the effort y'all seem to put into everything.
