The outro gives me goosebumps every time.

[@survivalteamzero1741]

Truly beautiful

[@berkeunal5773]

An exceptional song!

[@Tegenwind]

The Dream and the Waking Ending together Realizing then - That this is the best song, ever!

[@dylanvalorfall]

Best melodic metal band on the planet.

[@Kaesebrot2612]

you're goddamn right

[@ismaelalsabea2550]

+Dylan Rose listen to insomnium you may change your mind.

[@databloom70]

+Ismael Alsabea I've listened to a ton of Insomnium and like them but these guys really hit a sweet-spot for me.

[@jordaninard345]

Insomnium - Be'lakor - Dark Tranquility ;)

[@anembersarc]

be'lakor are better than insomnium

[@celiktenklc1795]

Silent but distant, Real but not seen Here but not happening, Forever has been Into this absence, Two had but strayed Retracing in circles, They surrendered, dismayed Behind them, darkness Ahead, the unknown So they stood, uninvited ...But the roots had grown An error, a tangent A curious mind An instant, a lifetime A secret to find Imagined movements Near shimmering webs The Nightfall descended To rest by their heads Their feet planted firmly 'Neath four darting eyes With pupils dilated, They counted the sighs The dream and the waking Occurring together Realising, then That it mattered not whether Their legs fading into A curding moss Their lungs slowly filling With decades of loss That scent form the forest Not taking, not giving They knew only this - Not buried, not living Their stagnating veins Now hidden from view In skin for the willow And bone for the dew The dream and the waking Ending together Understanding then It had not mattered, ever

[@mattkemerait]

I randomly heard these guys last week. I immediately knew they were something special. Easily some of the best music ever written, but you all know this already I'm late to the party.

[@chuckythedoll5709]

Welcome on board

[@janguchelaar5836]

Never too late

[@catalinmatei9320]

It doesn t matter how late it is... enjoy.🙏

[@JesseWedel]

Never too late

[@Ymiraku]

I like the fact that this band doesn't abuse technicality like most metal bands nowadays

[@survivalteamzero1741]

This is the exact point between dawn and night time it's the piercing veil of light, the shadows of abyss. The figurines and shadows. The sleep paralysis, the ending way. I fucking love Be'lakor. I love that bands can create such amazing, and unexplainable feelings.

[@ryandbowers]

I have never heard of a band who can crank out melodic riff after melodic riff so consistently and have them all sound amazing.

[@JimInFlames]

The riff sequence at 7:14 is eternally stuck in my head. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece. The dream and the waking Ending together Understanding then It had not mattered, ever.

[@ElfSlayerLS]

Best outro i've ever heard, alongside Countless Skies

[@berkeunal5773]

Extremely good, YES!

[@adamfowler5475]

The last couple minutes are mesmerizing

[@En7my]

You guys are very special I hope you know that.

[@lsebk1]

I'd give anything to be able to write music as beautiful as this!

[@MultiPhilip2]

It should be impossible to write stuff like this, its insane how good it is.. Eargasm

[@Judge_RR]

Anything is possible if you want it really, really bad.

[@adamfowler5475]

God. That outro is absolutely mesmerizing..Just incredible...

[@darrelltrout]

out-fucking-standing. Be'lakor really is something else. cant get enough.

[@SolarfallBaits]

damn the melodies and progression on this track is pure awesomeness. :O

[@arthurwatts1680]

A couple of years on, and this remains my favorite Be'lakor track. The way it builds to that unforgettable outtro is first class - looking forward to the new album.

[@Rsy1981]

agreed!! the outro is definitely something else. almost brings me to tears.

[@celiktenklc1795]

Arthur Watts I definitely agree, *The Dream And The Waking* is my all-time favorite song by Be'lakor! \m/

[@raz644]

This is one of the only songs that will stand all my hairs on end. The transition at 3:45 is uplifting but still has the feeling of dread.

[@CelineBeattie]

I used to really dislike melodic death metal.. But this is amazing. This song is specific has really made the genre start to grow on me. :)

[@moycvitanich6935]

Outstanding, astonishing, brillent !! This is the best melo-death band in history, these musicians are just brillent ❤

[@Uraharafangirl]

I recently discovered this band, and I fucking love them!

[@assadguds1509]

A perfect iteration of not only melodeath metal, but music itself!!

[@barisoguzcan5063]

İt's like a race of melodies to your ear takes you with them in each direction then make you fall in moments then rise in glory

[@bshigaki1285]

"The dream and the waking occurring together realizing, then that is mattered not whether." Best line on the album, perfection.

[@Sario_]

What's its meaning?

[@shofiulislam6344]

Nope. The dream and the waking ending together Understanding then it had not matter, ever That's the best line in the entire album

[@anadre86]

Masterpiece, my favorite song on the album.

[@caseyslastgram1733]

The build up to 8:17 is just incredible, just another amazing song

[@easyas314]

Like these guys more and more every time I hear them!

[@itsdokko2990]

This song makes me vibe on a whole different level. i literally **t r a n s c e n d**

[@AlexHolland123]

Be'lakors songs are all wonderful poems. I'm in love

[@Assdafflabaff]

I can't believe this is 9 years old. Makes me feel like a boomer even though I'm 27. THEY DON'T MAKE REAL MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE, BACK IN MY DAY DEATH METAL WAS REAL!

[@themetalalmanach]

Time and Time again I am in awe how musicians conceptualise and execute complicated arrangements of various instruments that arrive in my ears through headphones and give me chills down the spine. With this song alone I would pinpoint 4 or 5 different moments that sound ridiculously beautiful, but I won't and let you discover for yourself. Thank you very much for the music

[@janguchelaar5836]

Great band. Cheers from Holland 🇳🇱

[@gabydobrea343]

Fantastic song, melody and composition, amazes me every time I hear it (and it's been a lot)!

[@attilathekhan8570]

I'm totally addicted to their music I barely listen to anything else except their four albums any more and it's been that way ever since this album first came out when I discovered Belskor and there was only three.

[@FellTheSky]

*Understanding then It had not mattered, ever*

[@AlbanWolfman]

My Favourite tracks on this album are Abeyance, Absit Omen and By Moon and Star, so I've been guilty of skipping this track a few times. But after sitting and reading through the lyrics for the album I've really grown to love this track, pure poetry.

[@AZombie7slayerX]

When you discover a new band, its the best and most exhilarating experience ever. When I discovered Insomnium, I thought this was the shit ( and i still do) but discovering Be'lakor is a whole new chapter in my life. This is awesome OH MAH GERD!! I cant contain myself!! so beautiful, it sheds tears to my eyes.

[@SU-668]

I can relate♥️

[@yasinaydin4571]

Aside from all the other songs, this song is very special to me.

[@Hc-ih2uz]

this music speaks to me!

[@Kainlust666]

Another masterpiece from an unique band Be´lakor is the sound of another world

[@ivanplahonin8366]

Великая вещь.Великая группа!!!

[@natala653]

👑💯❤️‍🔥💬🎯☯️🌠🎼🌠☯️🌠💎🌠

[@mikeycfc4638]

Great song from a great album. This will get stuck in your head for days.

[@nightadder6]

Be'lakor is an absolutely amazing band. How have I missed out on this until now?!

[@TBlackDouglas]

This song is among the best metal songs I've ever heard! And I've heard quite a few... just EPIC!

[@yasinaydin4571]

Nasıl böyle bir şarkı yapabildiniz, siz nasıl insanlarsınız... Her melodisi her saniyesi ayrı güzel, iyi ki varsınız.

[@saakhmet]

I love this band..I absolutely love this song!!

[@ocdgaming8964]

Belabor has always helped me through tough times - this track is my go to when I feel like shit.. thanks for ur music, really!

[@catalinmatei9320]

The best band ever.👍

[@XTyrannicalX]

This track in particular has grown on me. From a fan who was there from the start; don't stop.

[@psychovisioncreation]

The melodic riff that plays at 3:16 and which can be heard through out the song is absolutely amazing. I have always loved Be'lakor for this, throwing in great melody and being able to combine it with so many other elements to create masterful songs. Very well done with this new album guys, loving it so much. I'll also note how great that album art work is, really like that image.

[@TheTahlia1988]

Absolutely fucking amazing!!!!! where have you been all my life

[@xenobarbital]

The guitar theme that starts around 1:48 gives me eargasm every time I listen to it.

[@Qandor]

Same here

[@sipharo]

wow... just wow. words cannot describe the beauty of this album.

[@elhusofl]

totally agree - possibly one of the best songs ever made.

[@hichemsahraoui781]

i think i heard 101457845102145781457895478 songs in my life but this one is the best..

[@Jasoncrystallake13]

Songwriting and melody it's a real orgasm for the ear, you guys deserve to have more place in the metal scene.

[@Khaledmiri]

1:15 - 2:00 this part is overwhelming !!

[@ivanvujacic3495]

Yes!!!Wow!!!👨🏻‍🎤

[@SU-668]

True♥️

[@Urbanned101]

I couldn't agree more. I pretty much wrote the same thing on another vid. Amazing voice. You can even hear how unique Georges voice is when speaking. Propably why it doesn't seem forced, when growling. And the changing rythm and riffs in each of their songs, really is nothing less than perfect.

[@databloom70]

Best song on the album! Epic as F*#%!!!!

[@Otis354]

One of the best albums I've ever listened to.

[@DulleMetalGod]

Me too, 40 fu...ing years into metal...

[@methiaravin9631]

I remember listening this song in army and i cried.... awesome band

[@Passwort39]

Thank you from Germany and see you in Czech. Your Music break all walls of the world!

[@davegruber1105]

Your music is one of the most beautiful things in life and I have to thank you for that.

[@remiremillard8419]

OMG THIS SONG...ITS SO GOOD

[@Ahmedwolf6699]

The Outro starts 8:18 … best outro i ever heard in my life , it gives me goosebumps everytime .. you guys are genious ! 🤘🏻

[@mohammedkatim4186]

They make me fly in melodic riffs

[@MC9212]

Guys from Be'lakor, you make a great music. The lyrics in combination with that very specific sound and melody are amazing. I have never heard of any other band playing melodic death metal that would sound similar to you. Keep making music because it's just so fucking awesome. Oh, and by the way, the album cover of "Of breath and bone" is one of the most beautiful pieces of artwork I've ever seen. Hails from Slovakia!

[@archaischeurkraft7182]

Perfectly fits with a fresh Bloodborne playthrough

[@SU-668]

Belakor-my obsession♥️

[@yagzyalcntas553]

Wow they are the best without a doubt...

[@maedrosGR]

how did i miss this band?

[@jacobnickell96]

seriosly, I just found them a month ago because of pandora haha

[@Lethmyr_]

One of the best songs ever made, period.

[@adace1]

This song has brilliant lyrics as do all the others on the album.

3:49 daaaaamn that was unique

[@Belthal]

Thank you so much for uploading these!

[@classmateofmine]

I can't believe how well put together this is.

[@mertterzi]

Simply on another level...

[@classmateofmine]

[@anarchistZadvocate]

I might not be a huge fan of the Baggy Greens, but i would die for these guys because the music they make is worth dying for!!!

[@Brian10962001]

I couldn't agree more, this kind of came out of nowhere and could very well be the best metal album of 2012.

[@Xiphaus]

Of all the songs I love, this... This one is better than all of them...

[@NaughtyPrincessfkhandles]

Don't need to thank anyone! We need the thank you! Just found you guys and it's really good! And I mean really really good! Keep it up please guys!

[@johnwalkup2789]

This band has some of the best cover art for their albums I've seen. Whoever is doing it has some skills. And the growling at 1:28 is the best I've ever heard from any band, including Fields of the Nephilim.

[@user-mc7ls1cv6h]

Прекрасную музыку и оригинальный вокал можно слушать бесконечно как симфонию, хотя ни слова не понимаю, надеюсь ничего неприличного.🙂

[@superstar5042]

Нет, неприличного тут нет)

From first album i was saying "it cant get better"...i was so wrong! No one else deserves to be #1 in top 20 albums of 2012. Keep the good work guys! cheers

[@PennyDreadful1]

Wow Belakor have reallly stepped up since I first heard of them.

[@TheThisdyingbreath]

Just found this band v/v In Mourning. I Have instantly become a fan.

[@metalflower9543]

They are awesome! 🤘😊

[@mohammedkatim4186]

Best complexe intro riff

4:30 - best riff in the song \m/
