Lyrics : David AB
Solo 1 : Forest
Solo 2 : Tougas/Miller (Harmonie)
L'écho des hurlements retentit à jamais dans mes pensées
Mon esprit ne put se défaire de ces cris d'atrocité
Habité par la sauvagerie de mes actions, je devins prisonnier de mes tourments
L'odeur de la pourriture qui régnait sur les plaines me fît dévier du sentier
Exhaussant les dernières paroles d'un mourant, j'achevai l'espérance de ma finalité
Ayant pour mentor celui qui m'offrit la consécration
Je devins un ferment d'exécration
De la main de fer qui assigna le juge partial
Je fus emporté dans un air martial
J'eus participé au massacre dirigé par Baroque et Capharnaüm
J'eus déchiré les terres aux côtés de mes frères
J'eus brisé une civilisation à l'aide de mes pairs
Dans le cachot du El'Praedium je naquis
Je fus délaissé par la matrice et souillé par le créateur
Le poison qui coulait dans mes veines m'intoxiqua
La noirceur qui flottait en moi brima ma raison
Je devins le monstre que je méprisais
L'être sans compassion que je redoutais
Dans la prédation constante du prochain massacre
Repoussant sans hésitation toute démocratie
Rabattant les armées du Titan au-delà des murs
Prônant la dictature, la soumission et la destruction
Mon sang devint bouillant et ma haine demeura glaciale
Étant le fruit d'un viol louangé, je fus élevé par les suppôts du geôlier
Formé par l'hostilité et bâti sur une fondation de chair et de haine
Solo 3 : Forest
Solo 4 : Forest
Solo 5 : Tougas
Solo 6 : Miller
Solo 7 : Tougas
Solo 8 : Miller
Solo 9 : Tougas
Solo 10 : Miller
Solo 11 : Tougas/Miller - Harmonie
Solo 12 : Tougas/Miller - Harmonie
Solo 13 : Tougas/Miller - Harmonie
Solo 14 : Forest
Mon héritage se départit en rage
Ayant pour mentor celui qui m'offrit la consécration
Je devins un ferment d'exécration
De la main de fer qui assigna le juge partial
Je fus emporté dans un air martial
J'eus participé au massacre dirigé par Baroque et Capharnaüm
J'eus déchiré les terres aux côtés de mes frères
J'eus brisé une civilisation à l'aide de mes pairs
Je fus délaissé par la matrice et souillé par le créateur
Je n'étais composé que de chair et de haine
Solo 15 : Tougas

[@soniahensler]

This is an album for the ages....

[@LyvTube]

Le clin d'oeil à Smoke and Mirrors sur l'intro saturée, j'adore ;) Bravo, le metal français a vraiment de très beaux jours devant lui !!!

[@Metalton95]

Such crazy good riffs and THAT entire awesome middle section w/ bass solo (3:33-7:15) probably my 2nd favourite, after In’El!

[@Artur_F]

And the entire rest is evenly good.

[@andrebassreto4410]

love that fretless bass tone, it's unique

[@casualcadaver]

Try some Obscura if your looking for more fretless bass action

[@BleakFlesh]

Can't choose my fav but this one goes hard.

[@UndeadBed]

im stuck on soif brulate but this is slapping right now

[@BleakFlesh]

@@UndeadBed Yeah! Whole album is nuts.

[@IgnacioCentu96]

this album is full of winks! First smoke and mirrors as the intro riff, and then, closing in with those black star harmonics! Its been almost a year and I cant stop listening to this masterpiece

[@illumi409]

@1:55 mad Symphony X - Smoke and Mirrors vibes I love that they did that

[@chefgregdc8569]

How do you remember all these riffs live. One song, more riffs than I write in a year 😂…

[@eddiestyo1537]

Bro they played pantheum, soif brulante, la veuve et le martyr and solus live :D. This is.... impressive

[@KytexEdits]

I think this and Soif Brulante are my 2 favs. I actually ended up liking the singles the least, which is a nice surprise. I thought the album would be good, this however isn't good, it's the best.

[@neilmacdonald6637]

I agree 100%. I forgot to check this album out when it dropped, and this is just absolutely insane, instant classic

[@liamjoyce7774]

Breathtakingly beautiful.

[@acidbath3226]

this album is just a complete masterpiece

[@axelkeithgranath]

Trop de notes Mozart!

1:04 Smoke and mirrors by SX lol

[@PhilTougas]

Exactly!

[@gaaames]

Iba a comentar lo mismo XD

[@maximechamberland5116]

The first few riff reminds me a lot of Smoke and Mirror of Symphony X! This song is really awesome, one of the best on this album!!

[@metavampi]

It straight up sounds like a five finger discount.

cette Track est tellement incroyable !

[@kirottumiekka1787]

The riff at 1:04 sounds like smoke and mirror of Symphony X

[@scipug3048]

it is. and i love that they did that. hope Sym X release a new album soon... it has been teased a few times, even though they ve been silent about it for a year now.

[@swordfan1330]

This (along with Pantheum & Ataraxie) is one of my top 3 tracks from this great album!

[@Jiggleslinky]

Perfection

[@AndrewLein]

I wish there was instrumental version of this...

[@federicomontalibet8439]

6:05 is just telling me to get the fuck up and overcome my depression

[@syedizzamshah5888]

Yes man! Such an uplifting melodies... thought of Galneryus for a sec

[@Davis-kz8rq]

There are FIFTEEN guitar/bass solos?

[@dase1n352]

Thats what you should expect from the best band in the world

[@Richerodt]

Seems kinda low, right?

[@Davis-kz8rq]

@@dase1n352 That's true, there are 19 in Pantheum. First fragment always delivers the best solos.

[@sacredxgeometry]

okay maybe it happened but 15 guitar/bass solos? seems a bit much

[@weejenh7019]

Great song. Theres some part that I find sound familiar from a song from Galneryus.

[@syedizzamshah5888]

Agreed.. especially at 6:05 parts

[@grapetastic3570]

Just realized this song is 280 BPM. Insane. And the guitar and bass are always insane.

[@aerow2965]

2:02 to 2:30 is just so fucking good. It will probably never happen but I would love to see a tab book from this band.

[@TheWolverine7]

they'd have to level an entire forest for a single book lol

[@nachfullbarertrank5230]

guess I should get around to this song :P

[@matthewtE]

5:52 is my favorite breakdown 🤘

[@cgsaint]

Awesome fuckin bass

[@maltsutty]

this is amazing and technically unmatched but damn I wish the lyrics were all english :( still. amazing display of musicianship \m/\m/

[@sacredxgeometry]

I am glad they're in French cuz now I can relearn french again!

[@ghsf1234]

I wish there were no lyrics. I want this album with instruments only

[@soniahensler]

No way! Love the French lyrics!

Tant qu'à chanter en français, pourquoi ne vous êtes pas nommer "premier fragment" ? Lol, je niaise, vous êtes "amazing" !!!

[@PhilTougas]

On chantait en anglais avant 2013 c'est pour ça : D

[@bertlamil2632]

This has been done before by Yngwie Malmsteen in the 80s. If you don't remember, I'll never forget. Guys have to get their inspiration somewhere.

[@allenvrabac4827]

Sure it's inspired. And i hear CoB in some of this, and Coroner, and Necrophagist and so on. But no, this hasn't been done before, they're doing their take and it's something new.

[@bertlamil2632]

@@allenvrabac4827 Beg to differ. But, Malmsteen is deir dad.

[@giulianobankov4711]

they are good musicians but imho it's basically yngwie/jason becker but death metal, nothing innovative or impressive.

[@IrrelevantPlease]

their music is impressively fun

[@giulianobankov4711]

[@aerow2965]

I feel like they have better songwriting skills than both of these, and much better riffs.

Please turn fart bass off
