[@godscoldhands77]

the only definition they fulfill is the definition of exaggeration... if there would be something like 'too much talent', this band would not only shine through being one of the most unnecessary bands in underground heavy music.

This is without a doubt their best work, in my opinion. It is unbelievably brutal, groovy and technical. These guys better be working on some more stuff. I cannot wait. Glad you both enjoyed this :D!

You two might like Scar Symmetry - Limits to Infinity :)

[@Duskwalker68]

Awesome choice for a Christmas upload lol! This song is truly an achievement for IA, making a song this long without any parts feeling unnecessary is really tough.

[@SunRayz3r]

And it doesn’t even feel like a 17 min long song.

[@corekidfrom9700]

This song is perfect and one of my favorite ever, so much good things in it, the melody, the breakdowns, but the thing that got my attention is the moment between 19:05 and 22:05 with the vocals of Dickie just telling a story and high screaming along the instruments and then Tyler Shelton from Traitors (he begins with the line "The ways of our ancestors endure") just crushing everything with his lows, because of that, I just pass from "Enjoying the vibe" to "I wanna crush the skulls of my enemies"

[@Peikkosuo]

The vocalist of The Black Dahlia Murder, Trevor Strnad, was not on this song but he is featured on one of IA's other song, called "The Kingdom Sitteth Lonely Beneath Thine Hollowed Heavens". I would highly recommend you reacting to that aswell and from what I understand it is kind of a continuation to this song's story.

[@MatandChelsReact]

My bad. I got that one confused with this. But we'll be checking that one out for sure! - Mat

Oh my, and I thought I'd have to drink this wine alone, but this indeed will make it more fun!

[@ElliWoelfin]

I'm happy you chose one with lyrics. On the non-memey songs they are so well written, immersing you in their dark hellscape.

[@TheDogn]

the "sylvan palace" could be a reference to a fictional or mythical place, as it is not a real-world location. "Sylvan" generally refers to something related to forests, woods, or wooded areas, which often evoke a sense of mystery or otherworldliness in literature and mythology. Given the band's penchant for dark, fantastical, and brutal themes, the "sylvan palace" might be intended to evoke an atmosphere of mystery or dread within the context of the song.

[@dax87434]

Merry Christmas y'all! Definitely 20/10 on that song thank y'all for reacting to it because there are very few folks who have.

My absolute favorite part in all this is at 21:30 where mat doesnt know whether to laugh at the ridiculousness of the lyric, or to headbang at just how unprofoundly fucking heavy it is

[@OhCapitainIAmSinking]

7:09 Those are some Mitch Lucker sounding vocals 🤘

[@Hipno702]

Hecatomb Sylvan Palace Hecatomb is an ancient Roman tradition of sacrifice of 12-100 oxen to the lord Sylvan means associated with the woods And Palace is the domain of royalty or high religious authority. So they’re basically describing a mass sacrifice (presumably of children) in the woods as an offering to their god

I'm a bit late lmao Latin part: Gloria as Ecclesiam Filii Raptus in Nomine Deorum English: Glory as church taken in the name of the gods

[@Srakch]

Hm, you're nearly there but wrong. Raptus is plural, it can mean kidnapped, or Ra*ed. It can be interpreted either way which is just genius writing. But a more accurate translation from my knowledge of Latin, would be: Glory to the church, children kidnapped/ra*ped in the name of the gods. As usual, disgusting lyricism by those guys. XD
