INVENT ANIMATE - Greyview: Retrospective

[@Kmac2021]

Greyview is absolutely flawless and watching this puts the album in a whole new perspective. Thanks for sharing this.

Facts my nigga

hey dad

[@codylowder]

I Shoulda known you would be here.

[@iAmGio91]

Oh our lord kmac..

[@W1GSPL1TTAH]

Dad it’s been 28 years when are you going to come back home? YOU SAID YOU WERE GETTING CIGS AND WOULD BE RIGHT BACK!

[@MarkLePage]

I could say so much about this band, but I’ll just keep it simple: I absolutely love this band with every fiber of my being.

[@BulletProofBacon]

I see the name Mark LePage and I think Surroundings fan?

[@MarkLePage]

@@BulletProofBacon You fucking KNOW IT!

[@BulletProofBacon]

@@MarkLePage Haha sick. Good to see you man!

[@MarkLePage]

@@BulletProofBacon We’ve definitely seen each other around. We both have excellent taste in music, apparently.

[@95Silvan]

@@MarkLePage Hahaha wanted to say the same. Saw you a lot of times commenting on the videos of my band Revaira. Love to see you here aswell. Apart from this, what a incredible album Greyview is man.. tbh cant wait any longer for the instrumental version of it after seeing this video..

[@ashleytrottier3063]

When he said " we might not make it " the tears were real cause this album is my oxygen. Thank you for hanging in there guys❤️ can’t wait to see you guys on tour xoxox

Just wanna say Reflection Room has some of my favorite lyrics. Particularly "No time for rest when time is everything" 💕

[@malachistrong25]

I love that part as well. Always think about it.

[@alonzor557]

Great song great lyrics

[@oxmodius]

Greyview got me through a really rough time. So stoked for what's next.

[@moodmusic4life]

Same. Lock down 2020

Same dude. It just really suck i can barely listen to it rn because of it

[@RA-hx2fu]

Can’t wait for the next album

How was it? The new album?

[@johnrx15]

[@bloodlorde4994]

@@johnrx15 yeah, idk how it exceeds greyview

[@johnrx15]

@@bloodlorde4994 it doesn’t honestly. But it’s close. Greyview is one of those albums that’s almost untouchable, like Architects’ All our gods album.

[@BuuGBeats]

honestly I think greyview is the best IA album so hearing about all this struggle and uncertainty they went thru during this process is super surprising, but the hard work surely paid off cause yall wrote 13 bangers.

[@alexs9528]

Honestly Greyview is a Great Album ! But it’s definitely Not better than StillWorld . Still an amazing album

[@drumsno]

@@alexs9528 that's your opinion. Musically, it's definitely their best

[@sytheopath1241]

Fuck yess

[@recklessnotion1899]

I love Greyview as well but Stillworld is on another level. It's truly Invent Animates crown jewel.

[@notstarboard]

Everchanger 10/10, Stillworld 10/10, Greyview 8.5/10 (would be 9/10 for me if the guitars were higher in the mix). All are outstanding albums.

[@jesseroberts5728]

So very proud of every single one of you for sticking through it all. You’ve been a favorite of mine since Lightfinder and you guys deserve nothing but the best and I’m also so very proud of all the fans who showed up to support you guys. You deserve it and I hope you guys can flourish for many years to come. Thank you for being you.

[@jeremyrivard1124]

In my opinion, Greyview is one of the best Metalcore albums of all time. Not only did they set a standard for musical complexity within the Metalcore genre, the emotional and dark lyrics that take you through the album directly coincide with melodies and breakdowns. It is an absolute marvel within the genre and the band should be extremely proud to have put out such a landmark masterpiece. Your fans - and the metal world - have heard you, and we hope there will be more art to come.

[@jadedjay7861]

Your opinion was in the minority. That's why this was their last album.

[@kieferkramer272]

You guys need to realize your sound is one of the most unique in the whole genre and the fans see that. Album was/is amazing, looking forward to the next. ...not even kidding Monarch, Dark, and Cloud Cascade have been stuck in my head in rotation since the release of this album to the point where I'm concerned with the high replay-ability levels of this album.

[@matthewnovak7351]

Facts

[@ptr_grin]

Same here.

[@2xRainb0w]

Can we get asmr grey view where trey just whispers the songs in my ear thankyou

[@tcorectroll2120]

Most talented and underrated band in the scene. Change my mind

[@lorrainegatanianhits8331]

I don't know if that would be possible

[@shhsjfkf2832]

It was since Everchanger came out in 2011

[@carlmiller8752]

Came back to watch this for the first time in awhile. To see these guys at the level they’re at now is insane. Heavener has been out for awhile now and it’s easily one of favorite metalcore albums of all time now. This band changed the game and Greyview is such a classic now. Well done guys. Can’t wait for the future!

[@therealjeffwall]

Greyview is an album that helped me through 2020, and I think a lot of others would agree. Thank you!

[@NikoPikoWiko]

When you have a group of very obviously talented individuals, people WILL wait. Congrats dudes! 🔥

[@djenthallman4448]

Could you guys release the vocal cover of solace, that would be really cool

[@codylowder]

That outro was sick, almost shed a tear.

[@WaveOfPig]

I got to see you guys for my first and so far only time when you came through to Santa Cruz with Oceans Ate Alaska right before Ben left. The power for the block the venue was on was out, so we all waited around for an hour before it just became a meet and greet and we started going home. During that time I met a guy named Jonah who was going to school there and played bass (I play guitar). We got on pretty well so we exchanged numbers to jam later and said our goodbyes. I got 10 minutes down the road before I got some frantic texts from Jonah telling me the power had returned and the show was back on. Barely anyone was in the crowd cause they’d all gone home but that was my favorite show of all time and I’ll never forget it. Jonah became the bassist in my band and we are great friends to this day. Love you guys and thanks for the memories.

[@jasonbarber6048]

Reminds me of a show I went to. Suicide silence back when Mitch was alive. After the show eveyone went home and litterally an hour later. They came back on stake and there was about 15 of us left. We all got on stage and had a rap battle. It was the coolest shit ever man. So cool

[@LILLINKID]

I really love this band so much ! ... I really do miss Ben though . Them explaining they thought they might be done got me emotional lol these guys are keeping metalcore alive !

[@dustinbaxter4521]

I've tried so hard to get into this band, to the point that I bought all 3 albums but nothing sticks out to me and just sounds like Northlane's first 2 albums 🙄

[@LILLINKID]

@@dustinbaxter4521 you talking about eps of actual albums ? Well that sucks for you ... hey at least you tried :)

[@drumsno]

@@dustinbaxter4521 well that's a shame because those are the best Northlane albums by a long shot

@@dustinbaxter4521 I heard discoveries and if you think that sounds like IA you’re completely wrong lol good album btw

[@elchangux]

@@dustinbaxter4521 oh you mean the good stuff?

[@m-d-b-p1485]

This is easily the one of the most complete metalcore albums I’ve ever heard. Every song is a masterpiece.

[@tiggerknowsbest6817]

Watched this with the boys on the stream. Such an amazing group of people, I have never been as much of a fan for any band as I am for Invent. Timeless songs that will never be forgotten.

[@colbyish]

Super proud of you four. Happy to promote you to my friends. Everyone I’ve shown this album to has had nothing but great things to say about your music. Here’s to things becoming semi normal again so I can see you guys out in Denver again.

[@JahtotheRod]

Well worth the wait boys. Keep that fire burning, because we’re here for you.

[@discoveranceband]

Lets go i'm here boys!

[@johnnygotgrowls]

Absolutely love you guys. Greyview was a fantastic step in the right direction and Marcus fills that void than Ben left incredibly well. Super pumped for the future of this band. Always gunna be a big fan

[@Jazzguitar00]

It's weird hearing they had so much apprehension about this album and the new vocalist; as an outsider, Marcus fits right in and the album takes what they were doing to the next level. How could anybody be a fan of the band (or this type of music generally) and not see that? I still listen to this album pretty regularly. I almost fell out of my chair when the guitarist said he was 22.

[@ThcBanaman]

Y'alls friends may have degrees and what not, but you put out a timeless masterpiece that helped and helps a lot of people around the whole world. Be proud!

[@ahriik]

Thank you so much for making this. Love these sorts of insights into the music I love so dearly.

[@senspartech3533]

"Greyview" was my favorite album of 2020. You did a fantastic job on it! Normally it takes a year or two of listening for an album to to take a place in my fave albums of all time, but "Greyview" jumped up on that list too after just a few listens. I do have some verrry mild criticisms, but yall probably arent reading this lol

[@DankBirdGang52]

It definitely was the best I heard in 2020. From Dark on through, it's a banger.

[@forevermarked5826]

Currents had my AOTY but Greyview was my 2nd fav n Before I Turns lovelorn was my 3rd

[@aleccarver6765]

Hearing that these guys are 22-25... What??? I met Trey at the last show I went to before Covid - on the Trilogy tour. I'm 27, and I wouldn't have guessed he was younger than me, just because he seems like such a pro and such a veteran. And to hear him talking about the pressure of making it happen... I've been trying to get my no-name band off the ground for 15+ years. I'd be pretty proud if I was able to have even just one album of the caliber that Invent Animate puts albums out at. Yeah, it does sound like the grass isn't that much greener on the other side, but still... At least y'all have 3 albums of incredible music that have touched a lot of lives. Hopefully there will be many more.

[@2xRainb0w]

I’m pretty sure Caleb and trey are close to 30

[@karl00l]

This album set the tone for a point in my life. Thank you for your commitment through so much uncertainty, you should be extremely proud. Can't wait for what's next and really hoping to see you guys back in Canada.

[@paulydltvideos]

this video should never get any dislikes. the reality of this band is incredible.

[@joshuafranz1595]

Greyview has been stuck with me for months now, saw Invent live with Silent Planet in January of 2020 they were my last show before Covid! I'm so glad they were a part of it! This album for me is just perfect, it's a masterpiece. I vote it best album of 2020. All of it has helped me bounce back up out of depression this last year... We thank you you guys so much!

[@sunnymittal1906]

"I was amazed that you guys were not longer than me"...I don't know why that was such a charming line haha. Love these guys.

[@ratykat]

Well, got to listen to Greyview again after watching this!

[@W1GSPL1TTAH]

I love you guys. Your fans are here to support you guys no matter what❤️

[@nickmirocke9627]

This band has been my all time favorite for years, ever since everchanger they are the only band I listen to constantly and obsessively. I’m just so happy they are still a band and stuck it out through all of that turmoil. Greyview is such an addicting and timeless album just like the rest. This is the music I will show my children

[@cpt.dipstick511]

Man, I don't think many people understand how taxing it can be to go through all you guys did, at a time like this. Big congrats & much love

[@nicolasalibert]

Thank you for existing ❤️

[@jishw2406]

It makes me so happy to see these guys doing good after hearing that if greyview didnt go well it was pretty much it for them as a band to now heavener winning multiple awards and the band still gaining in popularity.

[@zzirjukez2899]

saw these dudes live with silent planet on the trilogy tour, met Marcus and he was such an absolute chiller. sold me a their last long sleeve it looked so sick

[@Jordyjordd]

Seeing you guys on the Trilogy tour at the Palladium in Massachusetts was the last show I got to see before Covid shut everything down. I don’t even know how many times I’ve listened to Greyview, I’ve always loved the ambiance you guys use. Worth the money for sure. And the embroidered sweater you sold on that tour is by far my favorite piece of clothing. Can’t wait to see what’s next

[@forevermarked5826]

I found out about that show after it happened and it legit broke my heart because Currents are my fav band and the other 2 bands in my top 3 are Invent Animate and Silent Planet.. it was my dream concert and I missed it... I'm from western Massachusetts

[@electrocrane]

my metal journey started with Linkin park , then i found BFMV both i cherish in my heart , and then i was introduced to heavener , that made me go through greyview , still world , everchanger and i realized i found that missing component i was searching for to help me go through in life . Thank you invent animate , for everything . i love when keaton says " i'm gonna be 25 when i would put out the next record " soo accurate 16:55 GOATED Album

[@ivannamba1]

absolutely love this band and their music!

[@Sholps]

Mannn... I've fallen inlove with every single Invent Animate album up until Greyview. Idk, maybe it was my attachment to Ben's vocals. This video was delightful to watch. I'd love to give Greyview another chance.

[@abhaykumarsingh7081]

Man this is so inspiring but so gray at the same time

[@sirdo946]

Here on the 3 year anniversary to remember an album that changed my life and kinda saved my lockdown back in 2020

Greyview is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever witnessed, and this video made me appreciate it even more

[@ChocolateVideoss]

After watching this i appreciate greyview even more

[@musclesglasses83]

I’m glad you put this doc. out. It answered some questions I had while you guys were in your silent pre greyview period where me and probably a your fans were wondering what was going on or the direction you were going to take and we see some doubt you guys were going through on if you should be a band. I’m really glad you pushed through it and put out another album, it was worth the wait. I hope Covid doesn’t crush you and you keep pushing your Worcester, MA show was the last concert I went to and I hope your next show can be the first concert I go to.

[@apotropagic]

My favorite band. The album came out at the perfect time for me, it was REALLY what I needed to get thru what I was going thru and I'm eternally grateful to y'all for that. Can't wait to see y'all live for the 3rd time in a few months

[@epprevailed]

This and the recent Northlane documentary are real great to see lately.

[@RubberToez]

Been following the guys since Everchanger. Coming back to this after the release of Heavener was an emotional experience. I'm proud to be a fan and will continue to support Invent for as long as I live. Keep killing it

[@tothegravesolosdeathcoretbh]

one of the best metalcore recors to ever exist. i love this album so much.

[@PaulJSavage]

Awesome video guys, saw you 5+ times small venues with Ben and was front row on your first show with marcus in Seattle!

[@worldwarwe]

incredibly thankful that you guys stuck it out through everything. This album is such a work of beauty and a staple of what modern music should be. You guys rule. can't say that enough. I hope to see you all live again soon when the world opens back up.

[@Krihhhh]

I would have waited as long as it takes for this album because it's beyond worth it. This album helped me escape to a realm where the pandemic/quarantine wasn't real at points but also, lyrically, helped me find a better understanding of how rapidly the world around me was warping and the challenges my loved ones and I would have to face over the next year. ❤️❤️

[@lucass3116]

Thank guys so much for sticking it out through dark times. I'm glad that you guys decided to have this produced. It clearly illustrated that this was a trying time for all of you both mentally and physically. I will be eternally grateful for the music that you guys have and will continue to create. It's deep, meaningful, emotional, and moving. Don't judge your self-worth by the achievements of others; you will never be happy. What you guys have contributed to the world is nothing short of amazing. Keep at it! You guys are fucking killing it. 🖤

I was going to see you guys for the 3rd time live in March of 2020. The show never happened. I still listened to the album a hundred times, though. I have two posters in my bedroom of Everchanger and Stillworld. I should really put Greyview up there next. Hearing certain parts of IA really are motifs in my personal life. It was so strange to hear him explicitly mention it when that's how I have interpreted their music for years. I really miss shows, man!

[@JmR201]
