Je viens juste de l'écouter trente fois d'affilée. Que c'est beau, bordel. Les moments de calme après la tempête.

[@WilburBullara]

@@yannickvely8646 c'est vraiment beau.

When man will eventually conquer a new distant planet, humanity will listen to this song. Nothing else.

[@KOOL_AID_KID]

This makes me extremely excited for the new album 🤩

[@WilburBullara]

Same here!

[@TroxyBoxy]

This almost transported me back to the environment Swans' Apostate threw me into. The new material has been some of the most unique stuff the band's put out period, including pre-hiatus.

[@WilburBullara]

it definitely has some inspiration from that era of Swans

[@christophermaynard1902]

Mom, the anarchist band from Canada is back.....

@@WilburBullara Me too! I'll buy it ASAP (provided I have the money for it).

[@emrahcelen2229]

I listened this song yesterday on the concert and it made me cry. I was sad to see that it wasn't release yet. I am so happy to find it.

[@billyalarie929]

17:58 I LOVE a Godspeed arpeggio in the strings. Each piece has one I feel like.

[@malcolm_mal2055]

I also noticed that. Especially in high action moments when the entire band just goes nuts, the strings just hold the harmony down so well

[@VesBox-s2g]

jessica moss has solo albums. check em out

[@VesBox-s2g]

also if strings are your thing hangedup was an early constellation band as well. viola and drums but with lots of effects. they were great.

I’m jealous!!

[@GabriellaGracexo]

IT REALLY DOES GOD DAMMIT SHIT!

[@bernhardjammerbund9403]

goddamnit, what a monster of a song o__O

[@DariusKind]

If this song makes it to an official release as it is, it is going to be huge and one of their best!

[@WilburBullara]

oh, absolutely. and if they add field recordings, i feel like it’ll boost it up there even more

[@davidhall2523]

I'm about to listen for the first time. That's a high bar you done did set there.

[@axis229]

The song is heavy as fuck but from 20:30 onwards I think I ascended to another plane... Really moving...

[@WilburBullara]

Oh, easily.

[@brandndoacm924]

They just raised the bar 3xfold for themselves with this track_

[@WilburBullara]

They definitely went a little bit metal for this track in specific.

[@Corrupted_06]

I absolutely love this, heaviest song the band has ever written

[@WilburBullara]

Oh, definitely. This completely outdoes Behemoth.

[@aquakarn]

⁠While being more beautiful. They are at the height of their powers. Who knew that after a semi-retirement we’d be given more than a decade of astounding new music.

[@billyalarie929]

@@aquakarnconsistently, too. Literally since 2012 they’ve put out 4 albums, each one 2 to 4 years apart, and each one either absolutely worth the longer wait, or mind blowing that they only took as long as they did (Luciferian Towers coming just 2 years after Asunder)

[@i.hold.vertigo2329]

Idk, Mladic exists

[@malcolm_mal2055]

​@@i.hold.vertigo2329Mladic is a good point. I can't tell which one is heavier tbh

[@raavenstark5905]

When they released God's Pee, i was so scared it was the end. I'm so happy to ear new materials from them as soon as now.

[@WilburBullara]

it’s awesome to see that they’re back

[@billyalarie929]

It always feels like it’s the end with these guys The best bands seem to love to do that.

[@edarndt1343]

My 5th or so time now seeing them. They really explode in these smaller venues. EPIC performance.

[@WilburBullara]

I can’t wait for the day I get to see them.

[@FiRezfps]

The part that starts at 10:50 is so sorrowful but also beautiful

[@callesewey2336]

the movement from 20:19 till the end is so fucking beautiful man

pure bliss

[@tomtrusselmeansemptythreat]

[@billyalarie929]

It’s what Seer wished it could be when it grew up.

[@gekinatracksuit9710]

I think it sounds more like Apostate.

I did not see any waist in the Javastraat in The Hague today ,but it was very windy, and I had to look out for the cyclists, so glad I finished my work,going home.

[@Thypineaway]

This is pure horror.

[@WilburBullara]

In the best way possible.

[@AndyCarvin]

At one point during the performance I remembered thinking to myself, this is what it must've been like to hear Genesis premiere "Apocalypse in 9/8" more than five decades ago. Absolutely transcendent.

[@coryleblanc]

man this is epik

[@WilburBullara]

hope your ears are blessed :)

[@pseudoplotinus]

is this the most 'swans-like' song from godspeed?

[@malcolm_mal2055]

Swans is in some ways I feel the antithesis to godspeed. While swans is all about the raw strength required to hold out a riff for 20 minutes while its deafiningly loud, godspeed is more about waiting for the crescendo. The small imperfections in the recording, the slow build up. Every single note being observed by itself. I love both bands but for completely different reasons

[@daveoakley3361]

gotta be kidding me with this ad placement! youtube is such trash now, but of course i gotta listen to new godspeed!

[@WilburBullara]

there is no fucking way there is ad placement what the fuck

[@abibeur]

16:18 is still something.

[@WilburBullara]

[@billyalarie929]

Truly it is but what is it reminiscent of? It feels like a contemporary classical piece.

[@WilburBullara]

beautiful

[@morten3093]

Can't help but feel this live performance is better than the song on the record itself. Still a great record tho

[@niftycatts2432]

Agree. Spent a few months thinking this was the scariest work ever and was thinking how much more they could influence the track in the studio to make it the most reflectively epic piece of modern music ever. It is a shadow of this performance. Not disappointed, cause this will live on (thank you for this GYBE and the recording) but was surprised by the album version.

[@niftycatts2432]

These are the most critical live performances which people around the world are grateful and fearful to see as we speak and each day as the tour continues. Peace

[@WilburBullara]

DULCIMER IS BACK

[@brandndoacm924]

I need this band now, more than I ever had over the last 2∅ yeårs...... They make me so happy to be alive in a time when everyone has gone completely fucking mad, everything around us is chaotically speeding for the center, all at the same time & every driver wants to mow dow anyone who doesn't dress the part, talk the talk or play along while they re-write the rules on a fucking daily...... Everyone is screaming, crying & kicking anyone who can't see the sense in their screaming & for that they try to erase you from existence...... I've never seen people this angry, sad & wrong.....just wrong. No one cares about each other anymore ....... They don't even pretend. Never in my life, until recently, have I dreamt I was only visiting this entire fucking planet. I don't feel kin-ship to anyone anymore . Gødspeed makes me swear that I will not let these people & these times beat me into submission. And when I listen to Godspeed...... I know I will not fail .... I will not let myself down. This music is the fucking fight on me & these days.......I feel armed to the fucking teeth with it_

Amen
