[@GennadyTkachenkoPapizh]

Well .. looking forward to the reaction of the audience! . It was an unusual, but very interesting experience for me. we are also waiting for your emotions and feelings

[@benearthside]

Big love, Gennady ♥ We're so happy we were able to work with you on this.

[@Will057]

Incredible work!!

[@Hybrid461]

Offered something truly unique to this song. Great work :)

[@LadyBoogScoots]

Loved it! Great work!

[@rubenpescadinha4447]

You sound great!

[@DanielTompkins]

Massive honour to have the guys reach out for another collab. Their album is STUNNING!

[@jamiebaker3958]

You’re awesome mate!!!

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Can't wait for the album! Your part was amazing also.

[@superlavaman]

It's a massive song, thank you

[@alistairbanks6595]

Honestly, as I listen to more and more of your work Daniel, you should basically be Chris Cornell type famous. Just a pleasure to listen to.

[@fnargler]

Always a fan of your work.

[@Krishach]

If you aren't using headphones, you're going to miss something. Great song, but the amount of subtlety just past the edge of the main sonic space was unreal.

[@ulisses-ITACA]

VOZES PODEROSAS, UMA BANDA PODEROSA, UMA MÚSICA PODEROSA. PODERIA FACILMENTE SER TEMA DE ALGUM FILME. INACREDITÁVELMENTE PERFEITA COMBINAÇÃO.. PARABÉNS E MUITO SUCESSO 👏👏👏👏👏

[@alexandrab.7452]

Such an honor to have seen this song come to life and so glad the rest of the world gets to hear it now. Earthside's back baby!!

[@EarthsideBand]

Jamie here. A story for every one else...one of the great joys and things I could actually look forward to during the pandemic was a few times a week, hopping on a Zoom call with Alexandra, as we went through all the different takes of Gennady's vocals. Everything Gennady does is improvised and felt in the moment. So then Alex and I went looking to capture that magic among his performances ("oooo" takes, as we called them). And I remember the moment Alex and I came across the climactic gesture at 10:03 and the immediacy of our 'holy shit' reaction). This song exists in the form that it does in large part due to those Zoom hangs, and hence why Alexandra Bitker is credited for vocal comping, and will have rightly earned her Discogs entry and profile when the moment comes. ✊

[@benearthside]

Appreciate your help, Alex!❤ A bright future as an in-demand vocal comper may just be ahead of you 😊

[@dreadpirates_]

Daniels long, perfect notes WITHOUT vibrato is the reason i like his voice so much.

[@mikeromano3001]

I so glad Dan still works with earthside. I am also floored by the song.

[@SENORxMUERTO]

Pardon my french , GREAT FUCKING SONG ! I want more !

[@Caynug]

This is so big goddamn. All these creative little changes, insane.

[@ScreamPritam]

You don't say nothing, you just close your eyes and transcend beyond the eternal realms "on the viewless wings of" these magicians ! The world has never experienced anything like Earthside! These emotions are new to us humans!

[@EarthsideBand]

We love you, Pritam. And for those of you who've taken a look at the tracklist of the album, we can't wait for you all to hear Pritam (from the Indian band Aarlon) pour his heart out over our upcoming record's 3rd track "Tyranny".

[@ScreamPritam]

@@EarthsideBand It is an honour to be a part of this legendary album! I am thankful to the whole universe for conjuring this up ! Your music is divine and a person who is a seeker could get a glimpse of that omnipresent infinite within this finite framework called The material world! 🙏 This album is going to be a "Bliss of solitude" for all of us! Love and respect! ❤️

[@ScreamPritam]

@@a-abelase9887 thank you so much mate! Truly appreciate this coming from you! Cheers!

[@survivecollapse9255]

I kinda wish Gennady's voice was louder. From what I hear, he sounds amazing, but his voice is definitely not loud enough. it's hard to tell the difference between Daniel and him. Great song tho.

[@larryshanbrom3724]

Ok ..I'm the totally biased guy (Ben's dad), but I, too, was brought to tears the first time I heard the song and the video just totally mesmerized me. I know that the word "masterpiece" is terribly overused, but there is no other more appropriate description: This (and the rest of the forthcoming album) is an absolute masterpiece.

[@thelobster7277]

You must be one proud Dad!

[@larryshanbrom3724]

"Proud" would be an understatement. Now is the time for them to get the success they so rightfully deserve.

[@thelobster7277]

@@larryshanbrom3724 I couldn’t agree more!

[@jennifer9047]

You, sir, have a kick ass son!!!❤

[@JoshStobart]

@@larryshanbrom3724 honestly, this song alone has catapulted them to the stratosphere for me. I knew they were good but from what I'm hearing so far for me, this album could be placing Earthside among some of the greats of our time and could be closing on the musicianship of Steven Wilson. Working with other artists and using them in a way that's not just complimentary but transformative to the music is just a class that very few musicians can aspire to. Proud should definitely be an understatement. I am anticipating some incredible music on the horizon and can't wait to be swept along for the ride.

[@underlachvilla8900]

TesseracT + Tool + Dream Theater = This song. Such an unbelievable combo with all ambience and opera's like vocal.

[@gustavmetal]

Agreed, and I'd add Myrath in there too.

[@santoybr]

Best progressive options ever.

[@richarddorner5442]

Cool haha !

[@twinny_mi]

So, Daniel Tompkins has been in two prog metal masterpieces this year, both 11 minutes long, and this is his second track with Earthside?? And we get more Dan screams? YES! I LOVE PROG METAL RELEASES THIS YEAR! 😤

[@nikitalila]

I'm not getting tired of it. I deeply feel this song. What a magnificent composition. Don't know why it makes me so emotionally touched, but it does. I'm on an inner journey, shoken and carried by the sound.

[@ericsteppe9482]

This brought out my autonomous ultra instinct.

[@wenterobert7]

I cried a little

[@frankcsacramone]

I cried when I first heard the final arrangement of this song, and I hope you did too :)

[@SoMyungJung]

I'm speechless. Thanks for making this happen and for letting me contribute with a tiny grain of sand. Love you all so much

[@EarthsideBand]

It's the most potent tiny grain of sand we've ever come across! And we can't wait to do more with you yet, SMJ. We love you very much too ❤

[@davidramirezrodriguez3373]

Yassss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@era1442]

Not sure how they managed to make so many build-ups and releases of tension into one song, but this is a glorious peace of modern metal. Shivers across the body with each listen.

[@jamie_earthside]

Thank you so much!! Yes, I think normally trying to do that is a big no-no, so I'm relieved that we hopefully pulled it off.

What i like most about yall is every second of the music is important. No pointless fillers or over done lead ups it plays very much like classical

This is a wonderful compliment to receive, and something we certainly try to take to heart when composing. Thank you, Xander 🙏

I've showed thisto as many friends I could think of off the top...I think they're finally maybe catching on...lol😂

[@robnederlof500]

Today ( 7.10.'23 ) a very, very nice article on the front page of one of the biggest newspapers in the Netherlands about Frank Sacramone sr. the father of Earthside keyboardplayer Frank jr. who followed his son 4000 miles to the metal festival Prog Power in a very little village called Baarloo in the Netherlands. The article is not only nice but also refers to the band's music on You Tube, among other things.

[@tawdocumentaries]

this is 11 minutes of sheer brilliance, i can’t imagine the effort that has gone into this song let alone the album over the past nearly 8 years, amazing work

[@Sublight77]

I believe the best music is the music you need multiple listens to process its depths; and then there's the magical period where it begins to really sink in. It was this way for me with Rush all those years ago...

[@DarkPhantomSky]

So fucking epic and beautiful

[@headwithwingsmusic]

Massive statement from you guys and a worthy successor to the track "ADIS." 👏

Holy shit what a surreal experience, surely something to be remembered for a lifetime.

The "this is genius composition and performance but probably won't get stuck in my head and on my playlist it's too complex" to "holy eff I can't stop listening and thinking about this" whiplash was REAL for me this last few days. :D I'm floored, honestly. Amazing song.
