David Maxim Micic - "BILO IV" (FULL ALBUM)

[@DavidMaximMicic]

So... "BILO IV". End of an era, the beginning of a new one. This record has been my safe haven, life savior, but also my burden. I have many stories to tell about this one, but I'd love you to create yours before I tell you mine. It's been the soundtrack of my life for the past 5 years. I hope it finds a place in yours for many years to come. Love you all

[@egorm8952]

Thank you David!

literally tears. immediately got the flashbacks to all these crazy moments we’ve shared over the past ten years. i can hear how much pain you’ve put into this and yet, there’s that beautiful kind of acceptance that shines throughout the album. thank you for staying true to yourself brother, it inspires us to do the same. ❤

if im not mistaken i can hear you playing on this record. i havent checked to see who all made appearances but i didnt wanna spoil it for myself until i heard. anywho love you and your work too and i feel the same way. David has gotten through my toughest moments in life and i owe so much to him. Thank you David and Jakub, also Jakub i listen to you like every day too xD

[@Boggerbrains]

My mother wasn’t a huge music person, however we once bonded over Bilo 3 and she loved it. She spent 9 months this year fighting cancer and would listen to Wrinkle Maze on repeat during chemo sessions to keep herself inspired. She unfortunately lost that battle two months ago, however the last song she ever heard was Wrinkle Maze. The timing of this could not have been more perfect for me, to help me feel some emotions that I’ve been avoiding. I loved it and I know she would’ve loved this album too. Thank you!

[@RevelationSpace]

My mother has literally just half an hour ago left our house for the last time to go to hospital with terminal lung and liver cancer. She might live for another day or two, but also might not. And now I've sat down and instantly discovered that this album I've waited years for is available to listen to, so that's making me feel better. (4 hours later, she has passed away).

[@ZykoMetal]

[@clementd.7300]

Huh, that's strong feelings. Keep your head up 🖤

[@fainzeo]

Wow, my story touches on very similar topic. Bilo III carried an air of positivity as I took my mom to doctors to treat her lung cancer. She eventually passed away.

[@hooligans7618]

honestly i came here for strange booba music thumbnail, but i stayed for the soul-touching music and ever more soul-touching stories about what this powerful artist and his music can truly do to bring people together, change lives, and even bring peace at the end of one. glad i clicked :)

[@essengeebee]

One thing I really do love is how strongly the melody comes through in that huge wall-of-sound section towards the end of "of hope".

[@cactuss33ds]

I have listened to BILO III at least 15 times a year since high school. That was just about 10 years ago. I'm 23 now, and your music has carried me through my life when everything and everyone else let me down. So when I say that this is the most important music release of my life, I say that with zero hyperbole and with complete confidence in how good this album will be. Thank you for continuing to share your soul and mind with us. I'm here for life.

[@caixiuying8901]

Same except I'm 26 Definitely remember pieces of BILO III from earlier in life

[@Desmolas]

The more i listen to this album, the more i appreciate the absolutely enormous soundscape. Its definitely one of those albums that gets better with repeated listens.

[@oscarortegamusic]

If I was a music critic, I would write... "In an era where so much of guitarists music is composed by one or all of the three: backing track type songs, copious amounts of guitar wankery shredding or repeating the same riff for 64 measures... BILO IV - is an amazing example of musical creativity, technical prowess when needed but the two things that shine the most is that David has a very strong sense of melody and his songs are build more like an orchestra. Individual songs are phenomenal, but when you look at the project as a whole, it's a masterpiece. The album starts off with "Crumbs". If you were to start a conversation with someone that needs some love, this song exemplifies it. It's a delicate conversation. Makes me think of Terence Blanchard's compositions. Where they are honest, delicate and most importantly give music some breathing room. He doesn't rush for the next line or musical idea... he lets it breathe. I highly recommend you take the time to listen to this album from start to finish. It's such a refreshing album in so many different ways.. but if you're familiar with Davids music, you'll hear some references to prior songs. A Solid 10/10 for David Maxim Micic's latest release." But I'm no music critic..

[@KhalilSeibi]

The way this album ends and repeats itself as the eternal cycle of Life and Death is just incredibly beautifully narrated. I'm speechless how each time your music helps and pushes to realise certain feelings on a much deeper level. After a car accident in 2011 my father got paralyzed and got attached to bed for the next 8 years. He passed away in 2019. Throughout BILO IV you made me understand what acceptance truly is toward life and loved ones .I've been all along with you since Bilo 1. During all this time I kept returning and growing with your releases. A true human Thank you to you David ♥️

[@PRSRod]

Man, David is like a modern day Bach or something. The guy is out of this world for sure, love his sound and ideas

[@AntohinAndrej]

Osećam se kao da sam zavirio u jako intimno, ozbiljno životno poglavlje nečijeg zivota. Ovoliko intenzivnih emocija, ideja, slobode, događaja... ne znam... rekao bih stvašta, ali ne postoji dostojna reč. Ne mogu ovo da klasifikujem kao muziku, nego špijunku u tvoj život i privilegija je što si nam uopšte dozvolio da zavirimo. Najveće srce i zagrljaji

Never have I been so moved by "music" before. This truly goes beyond the realm of music and into something unexplainable. We don't deserve you David... Thank you so much.

[@TheLastDodoMusic]

I was holding it, I got chills, the Bilo III references almost got me and the final seconds of the album finally made me drop a tear. Congratulations David, this was beautiful 💛 So proud to be part of the « Cry » choir too with some friends, I would never have thought this could be a thing when I first discovered Bilo III, thank you 🤍

WOW!! This is like watching a 4K movie for the first time, just with audio expressing the story instead of visuals, a coherent and natural feeling piece of modern art! And the vocals are out of this world too, can't wait to listen to this 5 gazillion times!

[@jussitapiorissanen]

This is a masterpiece. As a father the ending got me to tears, so moving: the blending of music and life, the art and the world, the endeavours and the reasons to stay. Again and again, life in so many forms finds its ways to flourish and you really can feel its colourfully varying resonances, the ripples, in this piece of art. In the end concretely. So touching. Many, many people will find they have needed this album. Thanks, David Maxim Micic, for this release. And it is a release, release of something not supposed to be kept hidden.

[@luigi1mario]

Proud of you man. Not only for this incredible thing you've made but for being able to let go of something you've held onto for so long. Everyone associated with this release must be so proud also. Big love bro ❤️

[@cpurage]

there is so much sorrow in the world, because the time exists, we are guests on this planet in this very moment, and spend the time properly, be nice one to each other, listen to David he is also a human being, who suffers, love, create master pieces and express the best way ever through music, once he said in one of his videos “I’m an artist and I’m lying to you as an artist” no that’s not true real human being cannot lie for his feelings, sorrow or suffering there is a tale in Bulgaria “който пее зло не мисли” = “who is singing is never even thinking or feeling (of) evil” so support David he became a father for a first time + all the sorrow from last year he gained … I realized death since I was 5 years old(my grandfather passed away long time ago), then I was driven by the fear death even now, no matter of that I have a wife and son (7 years old) I’m not afraid of me dying, I’m mostly afraid of my family members passing away, the most important is the family, something which I never had due to my father(RIP-multi musician) and my mother was divorced since I was 9 years old, so you need to walk the path on your own and you forge your own destiny, so the life is tough with someone and polite with others, always keep your family on first place never do compromise your family even if there is a hater or what so ever, always try to find a way to forgive and to make the first step for forgiveness, never be an sturdy asshole not forgiving and just stubborn, because when some of your family even you never had a chance to live with pass away, the ghosts of this person stay in you forever and when you go back in the past and remember only the good stuff with this person the hole in the heart and the soul is getting bigger and bigger, because you can’t turn back the time and last but not least I will directly put this sentence here from Bilo 1: “I'm starting to think about the things that put us on the track on life, that might make us miss what's beyond the train we are traveling on If you live the life that doesn't fulfill you, and if you live your life just because you have to, you are not actually going towards anything, you are just along for a ride” So listen to David’s music because you may never know when you will find the relief for your heart and soul, you need to suffer through the music which David wrote and expressed him self in order to understand how to change your life for the sake of your family, people surrounding you and to always try to be a better person for a better world, always stay positive and always try to find the better for the entire humanity, yes I know the world is a crazy place to live nowadays but it is what it is, we need to adopt ! Peace ☮️ ✌️

This is huge. Humans like you make me feel more comfortable living among our species ❤ thank you for that, thank you for everything. King

[@Andresceliz]

The greatest success of an artist is being able to connect deeply with his public, and doing it through a self-referential work for ten years is an even bigger step. Many melodic lines that sound on this album today, transport us to the most beautiful memories of our adolescence when we discovered Bilo's first albums, I can't believe how time flies. Beyond that I found it beautiful, when I finished listening to this album I felt strange, a sensation difficult to describe with words, some kind of nostalgia that I had never experienced before? perhaps. Many of us have "appropriated" your music, interpreting it in our own experiences. Some of us are closing stages and starting new ones, which can be difficult, especially because of what is left behind and the fear of the uncertainty of the future. Possibly the bittersweet taste that I got from listening to this album is due to that, because I felt very identified, and I am at a moment in my life where I have to face big changes while nostalgia invades me.

[@XxMETALJAREDxX]

8:28 brought tears to my eyes. It’s an absolutely genius build up to a massive release 11 years in the making. That is THE progression that ties this entire journey together. Thank you so very much for your music. It’s an absolute treasure.

[@Chimeccio]

Just went throught all the album. I'm speechless. I've been listening to your music for almost a decade and hearing those recurring melodies one last time really hit me differently. Your music really is something else and it helped a lot with the mess that has been my life in the last decade.

[@Velopod]

This goes past art and into a pure ethereal experience. Music has never made me cry this much. I mean that in in the most positive way. I've been utterly depressed for the past year or two, in a colorless, emotionless space, unable to write music. This album has assured me that I could feel emotions and write music once again. I've been waiting to listen to this record until I had time to listen to it in full. I'm so glad you exist, David.

[@punxOiOi13]

I don't know if you know what you've done for the world, David... And I don't how to ever thank you for it. But just know I am the most grateful that I could be with all my heart for all the music you've created and shared with us. This means everything. I knew this was going to be amazing. I also knew there was no way to be ready for this. But this still made me cry so much more than I was expecting. Tears of pure happiness. This is truly a blessing. Thank you, brother! ♥

[@JKKoneofakind]

this entire album was amazing, but the vocalists performances on 'Cry', 'Wedding', and 'Are We There Yet?' absolutely knocked those tracks out of the park. Incredible.

David, I have to say not only as a huge fan of your work but an outright critic as well... I have long considered which Bilo is best because none of them are truly perfect even for someone who loved every risk and chance you took on the adventurous parts of this series. 4 certainly would not top my list- until I went back and obsessed over every motif and call back in your catalog. I'm sorry but I have to say.... you win. There is not a single weak moment on this one and I am blown away by the things you say about life through displaying such incredibly tasteful navigation of emotion through memories- both yours AND ours. I'm absolutely convinced this is Bilo fully realized at last. GOD BLESS YOU I'm ashamed at how many tears were shed playing it start to finish watching my own small family. 10/10 and I don't know how the hell you could even top it!!! THANK YOU for your shameless authenticity and what you've done to make the guitar something MORE!!! Love from Queens NY.

[@GreyHouse.mp4]

I first found BILO 1 when i was a kid. (Can't remember how young) on a weird and sketchy app that let you download free ringtones before that was a thing really. I was hooked immediately. I'm 25 now. Since then I've seen births, deaths, happiness and heartache. The loss of great friends but finding myself in the process. The loss of love and the gaining of insight and inspiration. It's pretty difficult to put this moment into words, yet i know we are all feeling the same way. Most of us have gone through our own musical journeys along with you. You inspired many to start recording ideas including me. Your community surrounding this release all lived seperate lives yet your music brought us all here. To remember and rejoice on our own lives as well as celebrate your achievement. What an incredible moment to witness, and what an incredible achievement! Congratulations and best wishes to you and your family, and best wishes to anyone reading..

Cry, Itch, and Wedding are my top three tracks so far, beautiful sound design and rhythm. Obviously Bilo III set the bar incredibly high; I've had nine years to digest and create memories with all of its tracks, so it's going to be a while before I can give a meaningful take on this record. First impressions are that it's better than I had anticated, the creativity in the song-writing is brought to another level while still doing a lot to maintain the Bilo sound we all know and love. Crazy its finally here. Letting it sink in now

[@S4MBONE]

I cannot believe, another BILO :O, holly god. I can't wait to listen to it. At first glance (but with my ears) i feel like it's that type of mature album, which you listen 1 time to recognize patterns and try to vibe to strange feelings, but the second time you got it. Although, i fell in love with wedding immediately, maybe because the structure is more playful and foward, giving more energy to my ass to make me fly like a spacebus. Her voice is just... Holly shit... I just want her to scream more :(, but what a song... You made another Davidian classic with Cry, like Where is now (one of my favorite songs) and Day Dreamers.

[@NickAcker]

It's difficult to even write any sort of comment after listening to this for the first time. It truly feels like this album spanned so many emotions in a beautifully compact and heartfelt package, and I adored every second of it. The amount of work put into this, both musically and visually, goes such a long way and I really look forward to experiencing this again and again. You should absolutely be proud of this brilliant record that I'm sure, has and will, touch so many peoples hearts.

You into Destiny Potato? I knew who that was quite a bit before discovering David's solo project. Wouldn't have expected his work to be as good as it was before checking it out. Nothing against Destiny Potato, it does what it set out to do very competently, it's more a me thing as stuff written to appeal to a wider audience isn't my preference. I'd been hearing DMM (lol digital multimeter? jk) talked about so much on some "djent" scene FB group I was in (don't even like "djent" in its pure form, just certain really good artists that get lumped into the scene and its fans for whatever reason lol).

It's amazing how this album went ahead and hit me hard. I didn't listen to "Dx2 is me" when you dropped it because I wanted to hear the whole album in one go, and when the title appeared I was about to cry. But towards the end of "Wedding" and in "Are we there yet?" suddenly I'm in tears. Love it. It was worth every second of waiting time.

I'll still listen this album in 10 years just like I still listen 3.0 with the same pleasure and emotion everytime after 10 years.

The feelings, the emotion must be unique to everyone, i can say for myself that i've been struck with your music David more than once, in such powerful ways. The bitter-sweet feeling is inmense, but it ends in an beautiful sweetnes overload that it takes me to chills beyond i could've ever felt. Thank you for your music David, i'm happy that i'm alive to hear and experience.

I'll never understand how you put your emotions into music, the way that you do. I feel your pain, as if it was my own. Your music helps me and all of your fans. My favorite thing to do is walk along a beach, or through the woods while listening to you. A while I journal along the way. You definitely help clear the mess from my head, forever grateful for you. Thank you from saving me, from myself. Thank you.

David, I am undone. This is one of the greatest word painting compositions I’ve ever heard within the prog metal world. I can’t thank you enough for dedicating your life to your art. I will never forget this album It’s an out of body experience.

I absolutely love how the themes from the Bilo albums bleed into each other and echo musical ideas across several years of your musical journey.

[@thefloop2813]

These means so much to me immediately. I don't even know how to process this. When it was over my heart felt touched and I felt loved when I needed it more then ever. Words aren't good enough to describe this. I wish I could hug you. ❤️

A friend suggest Bilo I to me way back in 2016, sense then you've become one of my favorite musicians your compositions all resonant in such an emotional way. Was ecstatic to see a new chapter in Bilo. Thank you for all the music you make

[@Everyday-Alchemy]

Absolutely stunning. You continue to reach new heights every release.

Barely made it to 25 last month.. (Kinda funny that's the day it was released) It's dumb luck that I'm still here to listen to this but I am grateful nonetheless. Bilo IV may not have come at a good time in my life but eventually I'll listen to it again when I get where I want to be. No matter how hard and long it takes through thick and thin.. Anyway thank you David for making your music and sharing it with all of us. I'm sure we can all agree that we appreciate you more than you know. So don't stop anytime soon and neither will we! because we're right behind you 110%
