DARK FORTRESS - Ylem (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@Mostafa.Morgan_]

Goodbye guys. We will never forget you. You engraved your name in the minds of us all!

[@MonikaM-li6xy]

Why goodbye? Did they disappear in the blackness they sing about? ;-)

[@rokekali]

@@MonikaM-li6xy No, they disbanded in 2023

[@lawrencenielsen4363]

These guys are probably my favorite black metal band of all time. Unique, Dark, Technical, and Catchy. So underrated \m/

[@auxa2831]

Lawrence Nielsen The music is good, no doubt about that. But morean is pretentious talking about how ylem is very deep and not many people will understand it. We do know what he's saying - only that it isnt as deep as morean thinks it is. And just look at the stupid faces he's making here. How can you keep a straight face

[@carinbabst1645]

agreed!

I Love this Fucking dark Song

[@petersteel2893]

Bad band.

[@ashura865]

Ultimate respect... What a masterpiece...i just wanted a song to listen in cold foggy winds in my village and i found it....man i can feel the pain sadness and sorrow

Florian is a genius...everything he creates is gold

[@cywil8389]

A spell to free all matter Folding time and gravity A universe to shatter Conjuring black holography Unraveling the ether Rending screeching molecules Severing the elements Ripping core from core Sorcery's caustic breath Fills the void between the spheres The archetypes are gathering At the other end of genesis Ylem Rise from oblivion Initiate the grand corrosion Ylem Awaken, dormant omega The web constricts around quivering hearts Spectres swell From my hands I feel my mind vibrating Virulent black odic force Bleeding into every cell Ripe with mortality A breathless world is shaking A cosmic avalanche is waking All shall die All shall die Rise from oblivion Initiate the great corrosion Awaken, dormant omega The atoms shall remember Scourge the moribund Initiate the great…

At the 8th of May 2023 I saw their last concert in The Netherlands ever, in De Baroeg! It was phenomenal, thank you Dark Fortress!, farewell!!

I hit my head on that damn PA so hard that I had a headache for an entire week!

[@talrasher141]

[@HenryRuins]

These black metal music videos look fucking awful and ridiculous and I fucking love it.

[@TerminalM193]

Nothing compares to the old immortal videos.

[@mariannaschiavezza7943]

HenryRuins Haha 😄

[@ShadowEssence666]

It's not even close to black metal.

[@blake6248]

Shadow Essence is it I can't tell there some thing that is black metal most likely the vocals but the guitar seems off for black metal

[@ShadowEssence666]

Mediocre shit. I can tell it's a metalcore.

[@DanielSiano]

Seraph is the most underrated metal drummer of all time.

[@jorgealbertodzulcauich143]

Al igual que torturer

[@zachiboi5253]

Omg, that second verse is so badass, the gothic styled vocals make him sound like a vampire, if lord of the rings were to be remade, this guy would be the voice of Sauron.

[@calowenby1654]

That’d be cool!

[@KILLER_W0LF.]

what a great song and the dude looks badass...i love BM!

[@maurismind]

Definitely, Black Metal sounds much better than it looks :)

[@BrittanyBallantyne]

LOL mte

[@kisielekrlz]

and than it smells probably too...

[@katmiau616]

Excuse you

[@BEAKER6868]

I can't tell if that is a compliment or an insult.

[@corekidfrom9700]

@@BEAKER6868 probably an insult for the clip and a compliment for the way it sounds

[@Arch_Angel_Michael]

This album is the pinnacle of Dark Fortress and this song is a hell of a way to start it off.

[@ayon7072]

'Melodic/Symphonic/Orchestral/Operatic' - "Death/Black/Blacken Death/Satanic/Green with Blue spots' METAL- Who Cares!! It's all Noise and LOVE IT!!!!

[@funny-hippo2995]

I'd like to hear Satanic Green With Blue Spots metal. Like wtf would that sound like?

[@TheAngryMoth104]

sounds like a strain of weed :P

[@kissakuningatar]

I steal this. :)

[@duantorruellas716]

Ayon707 green with blue spots hahaha i love your comment .

[@malawmicteact349]

I prefer White Metal..

[@adamgoudy2097]

The entire album is a BM masterpiece!

[@RampantRedneck]

Great song, but the video made me crack up. Did they shoot this video with Apple photo booth?

[@raulramirez557]

it's black metal >P

[@exactinmidget92]

silly videos are a Black Metal Tradition.

[@RampantRedneck]

lol sorry, I really don't listen to much black metal, so I wouldn't know about the corny videos. In terms of heaviness, the heaviest I prefer to go, is with Betraying The Martyrs.

[@RampantRedneck]

Ruben Valdez Dude, what the hell is your deal? Calm your happy ass down. I don't listen to rap, and I sure as hell don't listen to pop, so you can fuck off.

[@Kosmaty87]

Relax guys. Its just music.

[@christopherdaniel5919]

This shit is Masterful. Dark Fortress is perfect. Speaking as an old Metalhead, (pushing 50.) I gotta say, I LOVE these guys.❤🤘

[@Alen4bomination]

The video, the song and the band are awesome

[@matiband]

esto satan vaaa

[@Blindpain666]

there is no single second from this song that I do not enjoy, the whole album is even better and even takes me to another dimension of pleasure, at least for my ears, my brain

[@ohmygodfreeusername]

Sometimes to amuse myself, I watch black metal videos. Damn, they are so hilarious.

[@jussik9736]

Watch Dimmu Borgir's: Sacrilegious scorn.. I do like black metal but the vids' may sometimes make me wonder how those guys for example can act in that video without laughing even a bit.. I wonder how many shots they have to take before the vid' is ready.. :D But before someone says to me: Fuck off or You don't have to listen if you don't like, I have to say that I do like Dimmu Borgir a lot.. So peace to all you ladies and gents'.!! \m/

[@Morrov]

Check Immortal, their videos are hilarious as hell, and they do it intentionally :D

***** Ancient takes the cake on cheesy black metal videos! Watch "Willow The Wisp!"

[@korncows1]

I'm a huge metal fan, almost every genre, black metal is one of my fav's, but i just think black metal shouldnt have music videos. yes they are hilarious

[@Iconoclastithon]

Praise Phi-lem, ave Pi-lem, hail Ylem!!!

[@icarus67]

Excelente Metal!! primera vez que los escucho... hay que seguirlos!!! Yeah!!

[@DAATHmaniac1]

"Ylem" Is a furnace of emotional out coming, in other worlds for an example, imagine what it be like when everything you see in world is gone and to experience it, the big bang is a good example.

[@wintherr3527]

OMG...a GOOD and well produced BM video...now this is something.

[@vladimirmoldovan795]

where??

[@wintherr3527]

***** Well, I'm talking about this video But you obviously can agree to disagree good BM videos are, well, a kind of rarity, do you see?

[@BaalpeorNumbers25]

agreed, kinda sucks you can't watch too many good BM videos, like you said, there are so damn few to pull up

[@QuantumGloom]

dark funeral's "My Funeral" is a nice HD video too

[@BaalpeorNumbers25]

QuantumGloom well, Dark Funeral has been around for 20 years and have ONE polished video......think about it. Good BM vids are rare

[@eduardobuquich5008]

Dark and Awesome, another great release from Century Media Records

[@94lunk]

This song is working in conjunction with leading quantum physics theories.

[@UndeadAbomination]

Somehow I can't get Unearth's "This Time was Mine" out of my head everytime I hear the opening lead of Ylem :D

1:44 - epic corpse paint. Dark Fortress : Probably one of the best metal-bands ever, yet SURELY some of the best videos ever! Sirious, i like their set of aesthetics...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I just realized this band had released a new album! I have Eidolon and it's incredible to say the least but this sounds UNBELIEVABLE!!! It's definitely more extreme than Eidolon from what I heard so far!!, it's amazing and Morean and his lyrics are amazing!!!

[@JackWareingFilms]

DARK FORTRESS is a totally under the radar, underrated Black metal band. Ylem video/song is very cool.

Aquí se muestran Las virtudes de meditar 🖤💀🖤

Ive had this album for quit a while now. It never gets old. They really put in alot of hard work this time around. I love the route they are taking; every song is different and has its own feel to it. I highly recommend buying the full album

[@OssuaryLich]

Never been a fan of black metal, but this is pretty sick! \m/>_

Dark Fortress ♡ all-time favourite

[@BelakorVenator]

lol did this video director's parents ground him to his room after making this video? It's hard to believe Dark Fortress agreed that, "Yes, this is the production we were wanting." I like the song, but the video looks like a sarcastic parody.

never stopped listening

The video is ridiculous but the music is so fucking good.

[@Floki_mk]

I find the lyrics to be rather pleasing .

[@Lengsel7]

The ridiculousness of the video is exactly what I like. The music and the lyrics I like also. It's a bit like something from The Big Bang Theory.

clown

[@VampyrDjevelDeity]

That guitar solo is just nuts.

[@DemonosSilvast]

666th comment!!!!

[@zitadoeza]

I think the thing that is the most compelling to me about the lyrics is the concept of the apocalypse not pertaining fire and brimstone, but a slow decay. Like a sickly old man lying in bed dying in his own filth, has death already claimed him or won't the people around him notice that he is gone until his corpse is swarming with flies and maggots. I think i'm not alone when I say that it sometimes feels as though we are already living in the end of days for mankind, and this song to me describes that feeling very well.

[@sanssoleilzine8676]

Because of this Fenriz cries every day in his bathroom. Black metal is not fashion.

[@funny-hippo2995]

What a sad soul...

[@jpmisterioman]

Isn't Fenriz the one who likes techno and all that shit?. I guess we have to cry for his musical taste.

I love BM, but most BM videos are so cringe..

[@Jimbob-gw7jp]

+Andy Vilas Boas Yeah to busy trying to over do the evil shit and looking evil as hard as they can. they just need to be a little bit more natural relax and forget about looking evil. that's goes for all these kind of bands.

[@jpmisterioman]

And cheesy.

[@auxa2831]

Andy Vilas Boas Morean actually stated that the song Ylem is very deep and not many people will understand it. Haha he's so pretentious. Just look at his facial expressions

[@katmiau616]

Black metal has a fantasy aesthetic to it.. how about, you not take it, so seriously?

[@DarkPractitioner]

A prophet for the dark salvation.

but they're better so who cares

[@JakeT3056]

True, but at least they don't have to rent an additional equipment trailer just to cart around Shaggrath's ego

[@StrikerFTW]

I never said they aren't better. I just said they copy Dimmu Borgir. So Eddie,isn't their name Dimmu Borgir (Dimmuborgir w/e) translated? :-)

The video was so funny at first especially with the vocalist trying to be scary but looking kind of crazy and childish showing off the lotus pose:) But whatever the boy was handsome so I watched till the end and I'm glad that I did, to my surprise I really liked the music. I'll definately check out the band.

I admit i was kind of skeptical thinking this would be crap. I was wrong i like it, am now a fan :)

[@gilbertparson7349]

yah that's what I'm talking about love it magnetic addition*****???

[@TheWarriorXander]

I guess great minds do think alike... Dark Fortress founded in Germany in '94, and just one year earlier in Norway, Dimmu Borgir (which means Dark Fortress or Black Castle depending on which language you translate from) was starting their own careers. Kind of awesome, two excellent European black metal bands, both formed around the same time, with the same name.

[@MireWolf29]

Great song. And, the vid wasn't that bad either. Dark Fortress are slowly starting to become one of my favorite Black Metal bands.

[@stellarbotosi2]

That was surprisingly amazing, really enjoyed this song.

[@rafasport2009]

muito foda!!! uma das melhores bandas que eu ja esutei de black metal

[@chris01ization]

Awesome black metal band. Great song backed with a very dark and creepy vid. If fact the whole album is great.

[@idbeholda1]

In which case, see my original statement. It's still (roughly) the same two notes in rapid succession throughout a significant portion of the song. Simply because you can push the gas pedal all the way to the floor doesn't necessarily mean you know how to drive.

[@Amniksjel]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[@RasKiddo]

I foooooookin love this album !!!
