This song just turned 8 years old a couple of weeks ago and it's every bit as amazing as it was when it came out.

[@Michael-xn1we]

One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard and I'm 60-years-old grew up with Black Sabbath and led Zeppelin this song is very very unique and very powerful movie and moving I meant😮

[@MelancholiaMacabre]

With an arch of the neck and the bristling of fur I'll cling to the earth with a footing that's sure With sinewy limbs, pounding the ground By the scruff of your neck, I'll hold you for hours As brutes in a brawl, in an exchange of blows I'll spring for your throat, break open your bones With a punishing jaw, that's eager to grip Baring teeth, that are starting to drip And I've fire in my heart and it's dogged and pure Just waiting to leap, to wrestle in dirt Is your steel true? Have you an iron will? Have you mastered the laws that nature has built? Because I am no man, but I am alive And I am no dog, I am a wolf I! Am! No! Dog! I! Am! A! Wolf! I! Am! No! Dog! I! Am! A! Wolf! No dog can make me lose my footing. Well, that was intense!

[@Diabolik90rus]

+MelancholiaMacabre My god.How smart the lyrics are.What a pleasure for a brain!

[@Lamigos]

Thx ❤️

[@eclecticcollector88]

The pure visceral energy of both song and lyrics 🙌

[@immusicmad2]

They're such a fully formed, intense gothic rock masterpiece of a band. It's like reading The Fall Of The House of Usher whilst listening to Unknown Pleasures.

[@delhidelirium9091]

Shut the gob , batty ! You know that as soon as you laid eyes on the Death Miasma surrounding the monumental manor in front of you , you would instantly bounce in your donkey . You know damn well you can´t handle either Poe , or Ian , so why pose ?

[@BrianDiamond1977]

Love the way this song builds.

[@nightspirit1643]

Until now, this is the purest, the most intense and the most grounded piece of music so far. Update 2021: Still fucking intense

[@danielselinger8209]

In 2021 still. Love all of them.

[@EvilL33]

+dominic saleh Now tell this to the guys screaming that Internet kills the music. :D

[@shootdapus]

+DomanPlaysStuff right lol. although i make sure i always listen to enitire albums. listening to jst singles kills music more then the internet for me.

[@Dmnv]

I do the same

[@shootdapus]

;-) got any albums to recommend then, i can always offer an suggestion back.

[@Dmnv]

Not as melodic, and they do not play anymore but Fall of Efrafa - Elil. :) Basically everything by Cult Of Luna (especially Salvation). :)

[@nathaliedupont427]

Holy Wow! This is like some straight up Siouxsie - Join Hands era madness here. So rad. Love the tone and production of everything. And those drums are so huge! How has this slipped under my radar for 3 years?

[@snowcoyote5865]

a split with Chelsea Wolfe would be so damn awesome!

[@ocelot667]

Please yes

[@JKParmer]

a collaboration, even better!!

[@highbury1972]

Fantastic! The last time I saw them play live was at The Dome, Tufnell Park. The support act was Hilary Woods from Dublin and it made for a juxtaposition!!

[@hajduksplitist]

I still love this song. So good.,

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

wow this is fantastic

[@gothicadam6476]

I've just realized that they removed this version from Spotify😥 Thank God this is still up! *Places on headphones; Turns off lights; Turns the volume up; Presses play; Turns up volume some more until it hurts; Lets 6 minutes and 23 seconds of sonic ecstasy flood his brain; Lays in the darkness with a manic grin of pleasure and relief spreading across his face.*

[@marcjones9879]

God dam! I needed this~

[@thecallofthevoids]

I'm getting alot of chelsea wolfe vibes on this. Awesome

[@morgothbauglir284]

Super groupe, merci pour le partage !!!

[@Blockmeddler]

I love this version! The album version just doesn't have the raw intensity of this track.

[@chmlndgdss]

I know I was like “did they accidentally forget to master this? Is this a demo?” I was saddened by the album’s acoustic-ness cause this single was anything but

[@rollinvibes1816]

The last part of the song is so good as HELL!!!!!!!!!

[@nuovesemotionpictures8054]

This would fit in a post-apocalyptic video game or TV series, love this!

[@synthgone]

You got a bingo

[@angelo_pereira]

So good! Sorry for making comparisons but can't help to think about P. J. Harvey while listening this... (on a heavier way, that is)

[@matthewcochran3325]

On the last day, when the world is broken and almost all life on Earth is gone, the last two humans alive will run through a burned out forest and with their Kephart knife and their Commanche peeler will engage in combat until death. This song will be playing.

[@kitchennnn]

woah

[@TheKickasskatie]

Looooooooove
