Aviators - Scarlet Vow (Halloween Song | NEW EP!)

[@petulantpeterturbo]

And thus did the harvest spirits say: "Fuck around and find out!"

[@aaajeear8654]

"Casting off the shackles to reject her given name, The one who burn the witches always ends up in the flame." "Pray your final whispers and reflect upon your guilt, The monster you created will end everything you've built." god damn these verses man, giving me the chills, it's so freaking good.

[@masonjohnson4310]

That first one sounds like it could be a quote from something like Bloodborne or Blasphemous or something honestly.

[@discordiacreates6669]

Honestly I love those lines so much, though maybe not for the reasons the majority do since I'm kinda a social outcast- partly because I'm trans and raised by not the most accepting christians ^^'

[@ThatMattaTatta]

Feels like the story is based around the phrase "A child cast out by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth", with the added layer of a witch trial leading to a tale of revenge. I like it!

[@RaptorJesus]

Got an almost The Mariner's Revenge vibe to it.

[@Arcana_Jester]

Beautiful! I like that comparison a lot. What can be more frightening than justified wrath? I love Monster You Create type stories.

[@WD860]

​@@Arcana_Jester, As guid as All Hallows that Aviators released a couple years back.

[@Joural0401]

I dunno, it very much feels to me like she uh... might have deserved that burning. Like, she rejected the idea of prayer, pursued magic after being told it was evil, and as described they try to teach her the right way of living, but she "cast off her shackles" and "reject(ed) her given name", which appears to imply that even after she was initially spared in an effort to teach her right, she returned to the dark forces she was drawn to initially. Then, she manages to escape a witch burning, and flees into the woods where she makes a pact with the devil for power, and uses it to slaughter the whole town. She was already the monster, seeking dark things and reaching for power for its own sake. She wasn't created by mistreatment, she used her "mistreatment" as justification for the horrors she sought to inflict on others in service of the dark powers she gave herself to.

I adore the chorus on this song. You can really hear your singing talent on this one! (Also fishpaste's master on this is AMAZING)

[@Claymann71]

The rhythm reminds me of the Nightmare Before Christmas, so it's on the level of Danny Elfman for-sure. Trying to place the rest of it... Somewhere between Depeche Mode & Lemon Demon??? All are excellent Artists! BRAVO, AVI!

[@lukelcs8934]

"The one who burns the witches always ends up in the flames" and "the monster you created will end everything you've built" have got to be my favorite lines. What makes you think your God will protect you? Your own failures brought this about, and now you'll reap what your sins have sewn.

[@MrFiesta787]

So, I have a DnD character I made over 3 years ago who's backstory parallel's this songs lyrics really closely, down to rejecting her given name, magic book burning, and all. She is also a sorcerer who finds strength beyond her hometown. this song speaks to me on a completely different level. hats off to you and what you do.

[@iluxius8216]

Sounds really cool, where's the character now?

[@MrFiesta787]

@@iluxius8216 Learning what she can from the world outside, along with her band of misfits who met stranded on a deadly island. This is also the location she met an incredibly powerful necromancer known as Father, who granted her knowledge and power for a 'small' cost.

[@DragonKnightJin]

I've got the urge to make a character inspired by this song, so I'm excited that you have an established character like this already.

[@bread7932]

I have a similar experience with his"My Church" song, though my character is a warlock she's basically acting like a cleric and trying to convert people.

At this point, I think I'm just an Avi simp...Anyways, it's honestly hard to pick a favorite Halloween song of yours when we get so many amazing ones so consistently. Think about the fans some, would ya? 😒😂 In all seriousness, though, thanks for making songs for as long as you have. Damn hard to believe I've been listening to you for about 9 years now. God damn. One more, and I'm at a decade of Avi! Hopefully you'll still be making music then, and for some time to come. :) As for the comment section, I hope y'all are having a wondering day, and a spooky Halloween! Now, quite like a vampire, I retreat back into the night until a new Avi video is posted. :P

In just under 6 minutes, Aviators manages to show what most authors would take at least 80,000 words to describe.

[@myakuza4366]

to be fair it's not the same format, if you take the text of a music to sell it as a novel people are going to clown on you, and it's possible to write it in less words if you make it a poem so that ain't really the praise you meant it to be (I'm not saying Aviators ain't amazing for the story telling of his music tho)

“To them, she was just another witch. They executed her without a trial. To me, she was my mom. She’s why the fires burn,”.- a line I thought up for a character I’m working for a marvel fanfiction I am working on which this song helped me think of.

[@jackster9775]

Ok update: I have a name/backstory for this character.

[@jackster9775]

His name is John Z King. He is a semi-verbal autistic man in his 20s currently but in his origin story occurs when he was 6. His mom was a mutant and the Mutant Recapturing division killed her in front of him. Because he was nonverbal he was sent to a center to basically shock ‘bad,’ behaviors out of him. It’s here where he learned that his power is to talk with his mind using all manner of electrical or radio devices. He can even mimic all the voices he hears and thrown the voices so it misdirects enemies. He can also, if touching a communication device of any kind, hear enemy chatter even if both radios are turned off.

[@jackster9775]

On his 12th birthday, he escapes the center with Magneto’s help. Although Magneto was more of a getaway driver here as Magneto had been attacking the center anyway. And in this universe, Magneto’s goal isn’t anti-human. It’s anti-state. He’s still incredibly violent but he frequently runs mutual aid food things for the homeless and has humans at all levels of his brotherhood.

While the skeletons held me down I could only watch as more and more of my village brethren got dragged into the church and held in seats, one skeleton, ghoul or some other forsaken devil at their sides holding them with an iron grip. Some cried, some struggled, some cursed and the rest prayed, but everyone came to silence as She got into the pulpit. "Rejoice, my fellows, for tonight we welcome back the one that was cast out once... That a long time ago had to see their family burn at the stake and them had a cross burned on her face to clean her mind from sin" She said it, poison spilling both from her words and mouth, burning the pulpit and filling the air with acrid smoke, raising her head, so everyone could see the nasty scar in her forehead... I was the one that did it, I spoke in her favor that day. She was only a 5 year old and I could save her, god could save her, god could save us now. I prayed, I ignored her twisted sermon and prayed until I felt a hand cover my mouth. " My my Father..." She said now right in front of me, eyes level with mine and despite the claws that dug in my arm as I tried to wiggle my arms free, despite even the acid that fell on my lap as she spoke, the note of sadness behind her scorn in those words was what hurt me more than anything. "Dont worry my kind father, I know you have been led astray... " Oh no, no nononono, I knew those words, I had said them long ago, but it was with the best intentions " All I need is to brand you, so sin can never touch your mind again," And with that she dangled the pentagram that she used as a necklace in front of me, the metal starting to burn red hot even with no flame under it "It will only hurt a moment, but this hurt is first step in the path of salvation..."
