LYRICS:
Another stab that I couldn't see coming
This is where the take off really begins
Never allowed yet never need to return
Inside the flames of bridge you've forced to burn
Hey you wanna drop me out?
Without a word, so leave me I don't care
Hey you better shut me out
If you care, kill me if you dare
As you once told me lies
Reflection of your mind
Words so divided, dropping out of lines
Story unfolds
Designed to the bitter end
Nothing more to say
Kill me if you care
You start to feed your perilous lust
Can't you feel the thrill?
Anything at all? No…
All wired for the charming sense
You don't know what you're living for
God save you now…
Hey you wanna drop me out?
Without a word, so leave me I don't care
Hey you better shut me out
If you care, kill me if you dare
If you dare…
As you once told me lies
Reflection of your mind
Words so divided, dropping out of lines
Story unfolds
Designed to the bitter end
Nothing more to say
Kill me if you care
If you dare…
Hey you wanna drop me out
without a word, so leave me I don't care
Hey you better shut me out
If you care, kill me if you dare
As you once told me lies
Reflection of your mind
Words so divided, dropping out of lines
Story unfolds
Designed to the bitter end
Kill me if you care…
If you never told me lies
Reflection of your mind
Words so divided, dropping out of lines
Story unfolds
Designed to the bitter end
Kill me if you care
It’s what I’ve been living for, to see the story unfold
It’s what I fear, yet all I care

[@morbid.deceiver666]

It's awesome that Heikki and Jukka from Norther are still doing music🤘🏻

[@emilwilddude92]

It's obviously in honour to Alexi, Laiho meant world to us all, may his spirit rest eternally, kiitos dude 🤘😎🤘🖤🙏💪💪

[@vinaymulukutla358]

I cannot help but feel that Daniel is continuing the legacy of what he did on Bodom After Midnight. I would imagine that Alexi would want him to continue making epic music. Absolutely love this band and this is absolutely scorching stuff! And I love that Daniel rocks and ESP Original Series Arrow in Black Andromeda. I have that every same guitar.

[@emilwilddude92]

Judging by Daniel's playing, it is obvious he played with a legend! That legend is no longer with us! Rest in Power, Wild Child

[@LorcanWard]

How I've missed Daniel's Naildown sound. Love the track guys!

[@boradolinha]

I can feel a bit of Children of Bodom. And this is AWESOME!

[@robertmifkovic6325]

What you're hearing is Naildown :D Eye wide open is the song I have in mind.

[@caritaannikkihedlund7960]

oh yes

[@ctxo]

i feel it too

[@CrusTeek]

@@robertmifkovic6325 I think 'Prolong Your Fate' is what comes closest to this song.

[@ricorock724]

I feel Cob aswell cuz the guitarist is ex Cob guitarist. Daniel Freyberg

[@teemulaitinen]

I can't contain my excitement at the birth of a super band that reunited former NORTHER members! I think Daniel is a great songwriter who will carry the future of extreme metal.

[@SHOUTband]

HELL YEAH!

[@MetalJody1990]

Sounds excellent! Like a mix of Soilwork, In Flames, and CoB. Production quality is way up there!

[@Francisf96]

Naildown vibes its right here, the day is finally here 🖤 such a great single and song

[@DeadlyFahrtwind]

I wonder if Naildown is ever coming back through... I really liked them 🤔

[@Francisf96]

@@DeadlyFahrtwind naildown becomes crownshift ? For some logístic and marketing stuff ? 🤔 “new”

[@CrusTeek]

@@DeadlyFahrtwind This is basically Naildown coming back with their last lineup, but with a different singer. This song (and I guess the whole album actually) were supposed to be on the 3rd Naildown record. For example the drums you hear on this video were recorded exactly 12 years ago :)

[@agnieszkanowicka8317]

This is simply BRILLIANT. I'm looking forward to the whole album 😍🤘🤘

[@MrGunzablazing]

I dig it! Sounds like Stabbing the Drama era Soilwork

[@keithclayton1271]

First time hearing Crownshift. It's good and different. Nice harmonies and vocals.

[@ymer2501]

yeahhhhh...the early-mid 2000's modern melodeath sound is backkkk!!!!!

[@matiasignacionorambuenagon2324]

Great song got vibes from COB, Scar Symmetry and Soilwork. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

[@Shadden]

Check MyGrain (Tommy's band), it's like a mix of those 3 bands

[@starcourt_official]

And most of all, Naildown 🙂

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

The drummer has mad chops.

[@arlos21]

Heikki Saari

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Awesome Guys!!!!

[@emilwilddude92]

Glad so much to see Daniel back into the game! Song is kick-ass!

[@amandar3148]

I love this!!!

[@johnti6964]

Naildown 3rd album? Great. I've been waiting for 15 years...

[@MAX-OVERDRIVE]

You guys are inspiring this old horse back to the studio and stage. Much love guys. Talk soon!

[@MAX-OVERDRIVE]

Tommy we need to revisit that colab. You’re voice would be dope for some Canadian metal

[@user-lu3cg4ge7n]

Yes…totally COB vibes…nice!

[@GonnieBlokland]

Wow, just love this. Briliant. Looking forward to the album.🤘🤘😍

[@starcourt_official]

I don’t think I’ve been more excited for a new project. Daniel has been a big influence on me as a guitarist since the early Naildown years 🤘🏼

[@Tolucoregonian]

This is the hand I didn't know I needed.

[@malcolmmatthews5876]

Daniel looking like Alexi with that guitar! This song is awesome! Im so excited for the full album!

[@batuhandogualkaya7961]

Yes , when he look at frets ...

[@alexlukyanyonok2611]

Absolutely Poser! All moves copied from Alexi, damn

[@rodaguilera5501]

Hereeee we goooo!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@aconde2307]

Wow this is just so amazing!!

[@cyka.blyat98]

The spiritual successor of Naildown 🤘

[@unholyvier]

The first impression, for me... Sounds like a good old material like soilwork... Very good guys!!! The northern melodic-death is still alive. Thank you

[@legasimusic]

Oh wow!! I clicked on this just before I was going to go to sleep. Now I want to rock out these guy all night! They're freaking awesome! Going to listen more!👂👍👍👍

[@UndeadSasuke34]

The drums and the guitars are unreal, so much sound coming from them

[@Aaipod]

Naildown reborn! 🎉

[@BabakBehboudi]

Great job 👏 it’s great to see how Tommy is doing a great vocal work! Great Job bro, hope soon you have your tour in Europe ❤

[@pirateking8960]

Very Nostalgic sound... Wish we got a bit more of Bodom After Midnight. I miss Alexi's sound. But Gaw damn Daniel you are a beast, your own take on a much loved sound.. You must be protected at all costs!

[@windrider6124]

Like a tasty hybrid of Scar Symmetry, Soilwork and COB. Great tune ! 🤘

[@npinjest7779]

Don't know Scar Symmetry, but Soilwork and COB definitely came to mind pretty quick

[@Shadden]

You should check MyGrain, Tommy's main band, it's probably the closest you will find to Scar Symmetry + Soilwork

[@olafbvd6094]

with a hint of Mnemic :)

[@Jonssony]

Definitely had some Mygrain vibes, after short research no wonder! Looking foward to this. Rock on!

[@AFCNband]

Sounds great guys 🔥🤟🏿

[@jasontalkington4575]

This has elements of some of my favorite artists from that part of the world. I am very excited to hear more of this. Awesome work! I love how well integrated all the instruments sound. The electronics sound amazing.

[@oravla8139]

HYPE🎉🎉

[@faicher]

On

[@dayanmcar7578]

The song is siiick! 🔥

[@SindreMyskja]

Awesome to see Daniel back in music, such a great guitarist! Looking forward to more of this 🤟

[@BubblesTheBard]

Welp, Im sold. Its like CoB meets Killswitch.

[@Kvasaari]

Sounds good! Can hardly wait for the album.

[@no_onein2024]

METAL!!! Awesome!!!

[@napalmjayhee]

Love it just love it, cheers guys ❤️

[@jaschenkavisser5125]

Love it 🤘🤘

[@CrusTeek]

I dig it a lot and I'm glad it was worth the hype and waiting. Great songwriting, some creative drumming (I love the cymbal chokes at 03:31!) and of course Daniel's trademark melodic guitar licks. And Tommy's vocals fit very well, I'm glad it's not another COB clone with black metal vocals and folk metal melodies, but instead they went for this Strapping Young Lad/Mnemic vibe. This band stands out, very promising!

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

The crash section sounds good because it’s accompanying a fast double bass run and it also looks cool because he’s choking each one with the same stick hand that he hits them with. Edit : Drummer has chops.

[@mrgbs7168]

There are elements of all 4 bands plus some Townsend vibes. But alexi will remain one of the most talented metal heads to live. Cant wait to hear the rest they brought us. I'm hoping for a killer cob tribute song.

[@npinjest7779]

I know they name-dropped him in press release, but DT/SYL is about the only thing I'm not hearing, except maybe a touch of Soliwork's Natural Born Chaos which he produced. Curious if/how it'll show itself going forward...

[@CrusTeek]

@@npinjest7779 the vocals are heavily influenced by Devin, like the part where he sings "Kill me if you CARE" (03:00) and again in a different way, more screamed (03:43) and some other high-pitched screams, it reminds me of vocals in SYL 'City'.

[@konobuzoggu239]

"black metal vocals"? when did Laiho use those?

[@janioutinen9171]

This works! One of the best metal songs from Finland in last 10 years. Superb!

[@Angel.Rubin.Vocals]

Gran vocalist🤘

[@ganassi988]

Heikki on kone! Kovaa settiä 🤘

[@thecirkle6480]

Naildown+Bodom+MyGrain+Norther 💥

[@kotnantin]

This is just pure awesomeness! Never heard something like this before

[@jaredzito8467]

The more I listen to it, the more it reminds me of Naildown and I like that, excellent sound.

[@JohnnyVictor666]

3 out of 4 members are from Naildown, maybe that’s why 😄

[@jaredzito8467]

⁠​⁠@@JohnnyVictor666 hahaha you're right.

[@Psychofrog395]

Real good !🤘🤘❤️

[@blackanchy]

Sooo good !

[@oravla8139]

Guys, congrats for this banger!

[@EM-zj1xm]

Daniel! So happy of his return! Naildown was criminally underrated. To me, their first album has one of the most beatuful guitar melodies in melodeath

[@alexandersokolov5639]

Congratulations to the whole team! What a single! What a video!

[@jariruusunen2211]

Promising 👍 It is awesome to be Finn and live here also, even winter sucks but only because i have moving disabilitity because of braincancer surgery 5 years a go. Metal is best way to heal 👍

[@JP-zs8qk]

Tsempit sinne 👍

[@robertremias2208]

Great!

[@Bleak5170]

What pedigree this band has and damn, how great is this song?? Can't wait for more.

[@juancgoicochea]

Brutal!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Thndaa23]

Certified banger guys 🤘

[@saagahelena]

[@ctxo]

baaaaby❤

[@mattsmithsongs]

these dudes are badass

[@alinistocescu5346]

Great song!

[@snakeeyes3308]

This sounds nothing like Bodom...this sounds more like a grown naildown and i like it a lot❤

[@venom_x5432]

This Stomps well done definitely gotta check out more from this band

[@incomingz44]

Heavy synth + vocals drowned in fx sections remind me of Raunchy so much, love it.

[@Shadden]

It's funny cuz 15 years ago I discovered Ranchy from KZbin suggestions after listening to MyGrain, which happens to be Tommy's band :D

[@user-iv2le6dw7o]

COB, Wintersun and Mygrain fused as one! I never though I will be that happy!

[@grantgochnauer]

This is amazing!

[@He11Be11]

Nice. Good luck guys

[@RMMrak]

Amazing ❤It!! 🖤🖤🔥🤘

[@Talis7212]

This is absolutely sublime

[@penninviisaampi]

Its like back in the time, amaizing!

[@sagarshrestha3624]

This is Wildfire 🔥

[@mylittlestfamily1490]

This could possibly be my new fav band, These guys are so Talented, Seriously...WoW...and, I also feel COB and Alexi...sniff.. ❤

[@endikazuazo8149]

It's very good!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

[@brentonjr8984]

Great song and video🤘

[@SHOUTband]

HELL YEAH!

[@lidayanethgonzalezganan1977]

Oooooo woooooo genial !!!!!! 👏👏👏

[@caritaannikkihedlund7960]

[@shredhead4604]

This is great and I didn’t even realize this had been out a month already until I was super stoked on new single “A World Beyond Reach” both songs killer and can definitely understand why this came out first. Outstanding.🤘💀🤘🎸

[@Drones25K]

Im glad this naildown demo came to light, cant wait for the other ones 🤘🖤🤘

[@emergentform1188]

Holy shit. Great tune, modern and proggy af, and those vocals are wild, love it when a singer can do cleans and growls and screams and everything in between, a rarity and require ridiculous talent/skill.

[@Achilleion]

Sounds great guys!

[@MathiasDRosaLes]

Awesome! Fresh music to my ears :D Waiting for Time II as well lml

[@taylorvice1610]

Omg this was sikkkkkk!!!

Norther/Naildown reborn and also makes me feel like Mygrain! B e a utiful

[@hailcob494]

Good song 🎵 🤘

[@wildstyle3743]

Super cool Project. Btw now we need Jukka and Heikki to call Kristian, Tuomas and Petri to reforge Norther :P \m/

[@dontricera8774]

[@Lutzifalilia]

Swedish Metal esque. Nice!
