1:29 - that melody is transcendent. Pure bliss.

[@gabrieldesouza7397]

1:29, OMFG, this is so beautiful.

[@RasheedKhan-bm8fm]

THOSE FEW FUCKING SECONDS HOLY FUCK.

[@guimaraessdesign]

It seems we are emerging in the sea, as freedom

[@beezlebub6634]

Best part in the song imo

[@devil_upon_us2487]

best part of the song, they only play it twice, i think, during the whole song

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

That part sold me to this band :3

[@poopyd36585]

This drummer has some serious talent

[@coverkillernation]

And people wonder why progressive music is the best in the world. Bingo.

[@placeholder6517]

[@windsurfer49]

[@KINGPORTH]

+coverkillernation If you really like these guys, I strongly recommend Widek and Scale the Summit

[@G0odf3lla]

No matter how many times I listen to this album, it's still kicking ass

[@Torthane]

How does this not have more views? This is damn good.

[@GumonX]

it is pure sadness, joy, hope, is the sky full of stars... what a song! you could die while listening to this master piece and it will be obvious...

[@pajenja]

omg 2:34 that guitar tone! i'm in love

[@youngchap4941]

my favorite part lol

[@mohamedfarouk824]

As usual they provide special touching tones ❤

[@kdrenovations9316]

Oceans ate alaska instrumental albums brought me here 2022 thnx to the progressive metal community for sharing

[@Achimski]

I also like the people who hear this music, because they are great in tollerance and thinking!

[@LuttiApce]

Sure!!

[@pierre2417]

There are no words to describe how much I like this song

[@noname5759]

I see what you did there

[@jordanhardman5398]

This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen

[@lilpp724]

HOW IS THIS NOT IN MY RECOMMENDED

[@Redirected777]

Sick drummer

[@samp.1261]

FUCK yea

[@poopyd36585]

He's definitely a beast

[@dildonicplague]

Hes got a drum video to this on KZbin. Its fucking gold. Go watch it. It'll blow your mind.

[@dildonicplague1129]

Listened to this video over 100 times this past week. Stellar!

[@Buffbassist69]

Drummer is insane no doubt, but bassist is also filling in some serious rhythms too.

[@bleeper87]

Love it! fan of Prog metal for 25 years! favorite new band!

[@Prognosis__]

This song is brilliant with expensive headphones

[@zenzenzen4741]

The bass is awesome on their albums! sits right underneath the drums!

[@Jeszen_]

Listening to this while washing the dishes at work, amazing.

[@sass666]

what follows the 7 minute mark is some of the sickest shit i've ever heard

[@UtkarshDiwakarCNF]

Took me to another dimension !

[@fable_enthusiast]

Everytime it gives me chills as the first one.

[@Borszczuk]

So many years this is still one of my favorite tracks to play (drums). It took me a while to learn it but it still huge fun when I play along. Wish I could have drum-less track available.

[@JordanBazza]

You guys are phenomenal.

[@JordanBazza]

Still can't over that first track.

[@penguinzomby]

Best song on the album by far

[@RasheedKhan-bm8fm]

you could choose a best song? lmao this was my favourite first, then Dream In Static, then Mob Mentality, then the Undergrounding, then Crater, then Skyline, then Entering Into The Light. I find it more fucked up that each song is so memorable I know their names by heart, legit. XD

[@adityaprakashtigga8418]

A truly illuminating masterpiece. Absolutely beautiful!!

[@burpeemetaldrumguy]

Perfect production quality and great relatively unique sound.

[@RolandVelazquez]

Just amazing! To be able to hear the process and finally being able to listen to the song has been such a sweet reward! Big things are coming for this band, I definitely know it!

[@12358a1]

Jamie, Frank outstanding cut reveals the depth of creativity and inventiveness that is Eartsides trademark!

[@mistermart50]

My heart skipped a beat around the 6 minute mark....Was not expecting that.

[@M3gadr3am]

I was chasing tesseract tracks . But youtube throw me here !! Its the best melody i have heard . It saved my life

[@MrGreyGh0st]

I totally agree this stuff is bind blowing

[@Nezzzz]

best song on the album imo

[@RasheedKhan-bm8fm]

Damn. You could choose a best song?? XD

[@ProgGirl]

I can't choose. They are all masterpieces as far as I am concerned! But if I really had to... this is my pick too. Mob Mentality would be the obvious pick for most listeners, but I like to deviate. ;)

[@bleeper87]

You're a masterpiece!

[@toad15fan]

This song has a shit solo, so it's Mob Mentality or Crater for me.

[@jameslandon4126]

@@toad15fan We would never get along.

[@TheSergio1021]

5:07 is when my mind begins splitting reality

[@MrEvilNES]

I would love to see such an awesome band with vocals.

[@bebe7085]

+MrEvilNES maybe you should check out the album, they got some tracks with amazing vocalists from Soilwork, Tesseract and some more. Absolutely worth it!

[@EdenPrime7]

Beautiful

[@hugocapelobl]

the best song you could do to start an album, just brilliant! this gives me so much chills and goosebumps. Keep doing terrific music guys! I will love you forever :D

[@sdlfkjsdlkfj]

this IS music and period.

[@FluffRecordings]

This is awesome stuff! Look forward to the album.

[@jordanmiller3532]

I can't stop listening to this.

[@mahthank4137]

I've been around long enough to know this is probably my favorite new song reason I say no because we all have songs in our life that we consider our favorite but this kind of is everything I love about music if I had did the music myself

[@jeffneeley9585]

Underrated!

[@dildonicplague1129]

song almost makes me cry

[@ryanoconnor5727]

my current absolute favorite song

[@IronRino]

What the !!!!!!!!! That just BLEW MY MIND!!!! Incredible

[@johnginder433]

I can't wait for the rest of the album!

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

Oh my!!!

[@DownInFlames85]

Very cool song! Will check out the album when released.

[@dinozrilic7970]

3:38 By far the best part of this song.

[@charlesmiller3278]

You mean 1:30? ;)

[@masterrrofnone]

pozdrav kolega, nismo se dugo vidjeli, drago mi je da uzivate u izvrsnoj glazbi

[@toothco]

Just came from gnod. God damn. This was it's first suggestion. I love the internet.

how in the hell 11 people dislike this video or song these guys have more talent than all people they play on the radio these days combined in one pinky finger

[@PhilipZilfo]

WTF did I just listen to? ...pressing replay for the 10th time

[@santiagoauge7161]

How can music si beautiful go so under the radar, and shitty commercial music get so popular! We need more of this, more creativity, experimentation and melodies telling a story

[@marklundberg6688]

absolutely fantastic!

[@agenschow]

fantastic

[@StevenAagenes]

simply awesome!

[@FractalTrades]

omfg 5:00 and beyond, that drum fill FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[@Corifu22]

Please guys can you recommend other songs VERY similar to this one? I love that feeling of mystery that gives this song in some parts

[@klintonantich7513]

Not as intense but a band called Red Sparrows

[@klintonantich7513]

Love the harmonics near the end

[@G0odf3lla]

Such a blast !!

[@UnfamusOfficial]

I like to sing "You Are My Sunshine" to this. It nails the emotion to the desperate lyrics, and the chorus is just the right size. Right before fading out then changing into something completely different for the next nearly 4 minutes. For obvious reasons, it sounds very different from usual, and most of the lyrics are cut out or replaced to remove the uncanny revenge bit and to match the timing, but I kinda just made it work. Oo oo oo oooo oo oo oo oooo The other night dear As you lay sleeping I softly held you in my hands I hung my head and started weeping I know we'll push through No matter how hard it may seem I'll always love you Nothing else could come between (breath) If you only say the same But if you leave me Torn asunder I only have myself to blame! You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are grey Don't you know dear How much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away

[@stefanovitali2925]

You should check out Bent Knee's apocalyptical version of Sunshine. Live version is an experience

[@Subhradip_Bose]

awesome

[@ViperDent]

HellowVideos it's keyboard :D

[@romanarriaga19]

it's a keyboard, but don't let that stop you from playing it on guitar.

Right?

Hey Earthside, I find the pics you use for every song of the album really cool, and I would like to buy canvas of these pictures and hang them in my wall, I think you should make these !

[@greybrother01]

Some quite diggable fusion metal!

[@_coolagain_]

So sad to see this album get removed from spotify! 😢

[@VueiyVisarelli]

Someone used part of a solo in a spoof vid of Lil' Wayne playing the guitar (like, less than 30 seconds), and after only a _few_ seconds of listening, I _had_ to find the _real_ artist. I am *_NOT_* disappointed! Y'all just got a new fan!

Link?

[@abinorman2789]

great...

[@Calerita]

Wow ! 🖤

[@HellraiserAvila6]

QUE TEMA TAAAAAAAAN INCREIBLE

Probably my favourite song in this excellent album. The title track has Daniel singing though... that's a hard choice :D

[@maciekkot6779]

[@kareemshams4541]

So much going on and I love it! Reminds me of "Pulse" by Polarization a bit. The Closest I've Come track is more atmospheric and dark tho.

[@cwang6951]

Loving this guys. I don't buy CDs but I'd love to buy a tshirt or something to support you.

[@tatocancelled7186]

When’s the next album?

[@EarthsideBand]

Next album mostly done minus a couple guest vocalist collaborations and a couple edits instrumentally. Given it's hard to know how long it'll take to get the right vocalists for each song to commit and do it, especially at this time in the world with all the uncertainty people are navigating, we may just release a single or two in the meantime while the rest of the record catches up. Believe me, we're antsy to get new music out too! Thank you for being patient with us. We promise it'll be worth the wait. ❤️ Lots of love, Jamie/Earthside

[@tatocancelled7186]

@@EarthsideBand I wasn’t expecting an answer honestly. I apologize if my comment seemed a bit rude at all. Glad you guys are still going.

[@EarthsideBand]

@@tatocancelled7186 We generally haven't replied to such comments, but things have taken long enough and new music is close enough around the corner that I think it's really important that we communicate and expect appreciation for the fact that we have people eager to hear more music from us. We could be so fortunate and blessed to have people wanting more from us and lovingly/eagerly waiting for it. We don't take you or your patience for granted.
