Her voice and the heavy music are so good!

[@maxadams9014]

👌

[@markcurtis2931]

Agreed. The contrast is so appealing. Who is Mel Rose? She does vocals on more than just this album, correct? Is that her real name? There's virtually no information online about her (doesn't help that you get a bunch of "Melrose Place" stuff when you search). There's a DJ named Mel Rose, but I don't think that's the same person, is it? There's a professional solo artist who is a singer for hire (and a photo). She also plays acoustic guitar. It shows all the artists she covers, and most is blues/jazz based stuff. Is that her? If not, I don't even know what she looks like.

[@NympoGaming]

@@markcurtis2931 Her real name is Melissa Rosenberg and she's a singer and a music producer. Works for Sony Playstation as a studio operations coordinator and she's worked on titles such as GoW Ragnarok. She's a solo artist as well as a vocalist for Mechina and a guitarist for A Dark Halo.

I'm a very simple dude. I see a new Mechina video, I slam that like button then I listen to the song. When it's Mechina, I already know I will like the song.

@@TokiyoshiSenkouFurry Just finished the song. Absolutely brilliant as expected. I got lost in the song until it was over. It'd be so if we see Mechina perform live one day. Been following this band since Empyrean.

@@stateofmind19379 Oh god, a live performance would be insane.

So many Melrose haters, Jesus christ... this was a banger

[@MegaLucario95]

Going to be blasting this on repeat for the next week and a half in anticipation for the album.

[@WhyAreYouGhe]

Same here 🤘

[@Sir_Loin_Of_Beef]

the rythmic section kicked my teeth in and took my lunch money. Absolutely glorious

[@Vassbakk]

banger as always, hope this album will bring back more of the male clean vocals from Progenitor and as embers turn to dust

[@zOceanCamel]

hearing "bring back more of the male clean vocals from Progenitor and as embers turn to dust" makes me feel old, i got into them during the empyrean and xenon days

[@isocrux]

Yeah same, nothing really tops Acheron for me, had absolutely everything on that album. Some of the tracks out of Embers and Siege are brilliant but there is far too much 10 minutes of 'WEEEEE OOOOOOOHHH WAAAAAAAAA OHHHHHH' in the rest. Does my head in.

[@johanetsondragon]

I wish the same

[@kar12894]

dont count on it lol

[@dpchiko17]

lmao Mel Rose feat. the remnants of Mechina Joe I love your stuff man, but I couldnt tell the difference if a track came from one of the three last albums

[@andrewlekhnovskyi]

Facts As Embers Turn To Dust was in decline into that area already

[@andrewlekhnovskyi]

At least it seems that no more midquels, straight continuation of the storyline after Xenon ended

[@adrd208]

So very excited for new Mechina!!!!!

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

Fuck, this is good, harder, harsher stuff, intense, dramatic! Hope we get a lot of this in the new album, last album had a lot of what I consider weaker songs, but As Virtue Meets Steel was amazing and refreshing, so it's not like I lost hope, I'm eager to hear more.

[@kage87cs]

Artist should always make the sounds they like. If us listeners don't like that then we can always choose not to listen. With that said, I am always excited when a new Mechina song or album drops regardless of the direction they take. I mean, they could stop making music- I wouldn't like that so, I'll just be grateful they're still at it 🤙🏾

[@kage87cs]

I say, shut up and enjoy what they share with us. If ya aint feeling it- cool, f'@k off then.

[@nnslg]

Never heard them but clicked on this as it was in my recommended. This is what I hoped music would sound like in 25 years, 25 years ago!

[@vndrevlves]

For sure this is the music the metalheads in the universe of The Expanse listen to.

[@Eripura]

Oh no, not again... Maybe we'll at least get an instrumental?

[@HenryRuins]

I really miss the The Assembly of Tyrants - Conqueror era with more raw sounding production since sadly I can't get into the new style with only female vocals.

[@方天擊雷龍術]

I have been a fan of this band since Tyrannical Resurrection. I bought Cenotaph right off the album's distribution on Bandcamp, but I would have rather thrown 10 times as much money at The world we lost. I've been a big fan of Mechina until now, but now I won't be waiting for the end of the year to enjoy their music. I hate to complain about art, but it was such a shock to me in the wrong direction. I know some of you may favor Cenotaph, but I thought I liked Siege relatively well and not so much Vanator, but the new album was nothing compared to that. joe, thank you for all you have done.

[@crazyfranky8627]

I've been listening to this band since 2014, and it's still one of the most gorgeous bands, not a single album has disappointed me, we've been waiting for the release of the sequel for a whole year and we're almost at the goal, I want to wish further creative success, you're fucking incredible, a lot more people should know about you!!!

[@s_t_s4846]

Sorry but I don't agree here. Been listening to some of their albums and they all sound the same. In the end I only kept CONQUEROR. Don't get me wrong, they (he?) make good music but it sounds too generic, there is no main melody most of the time.

[@crazyfranky8627]

@@s_t_s4846 I understand what you are talking about, there is almost always no common melody, there is a common theme of the album, sometimes each song is a separate story in the context of the album, therefore the sound is different.Personally, I love the music because of the atmosphere, thanks to the beautiful guitar riffs of the melodic symphony and the stunning vocals, a feeling of epic space opera is created

[@crazyfranky8627]

@@s_t_s4846 sorry for mistakes I'm using translator

[@bork750]

I love these lyric videos!

[@ГеоргД]

only yesterday discovered that epic band. Beautiful

[@somarriba333]

I'm guessing this new album will be Alithea and Amyntas getting revenge for Acheron. This better be BRUTAL with all vocal styles. I want to hear Dave and Anna's guteral vocals with Mel's clean vocals and Dave's clean vocals.

[@milkman2266]

Crazy this has more views than Aphelion and it’s only been out for a week. Mechina is growing! :)

[@somarriba333]

I just got into Mechina this past August and have most of their albums on CD or downloaded from their Bandcamp. This is awesome!

[@ShiningSkylight]

Awesome chugging and beautiful melodies, what a single

[@maxadams9014]

Is this just Joe and Mel? This is what we expected but where are Dave GROWLS or regular singing? Same old, same old since Acheron. Very good anyway, hope to hear him in at least one track of the album.

[@AndersHunter]

about growling, every third person already talks about it. And it is likely that in the future it will not be at all. I think so if you want a growl, sing for yourself or you can ask Anna Hell from Conflict or Alex Terrible from Slaughter To Prevail, for money really, but how else?

[@legacyz_]

well.....I hope to could find some song like The Embers of Old Earth on new album. Still missing for powerful tracks which full of growling :s

[@DAMND3Xx]

Fuck yes! Cannot wait for the new album.

[@Korri1992]

The greatest gift for the beginning of a new year is new Mechina music

[@ArtifactsofExile]

this is a masterpiece fo sure

[@Ihrvondjaer]

already love the direction this is going into mainly the overbearing electronic effects, hyped for the album.

[@ktmdza2776]

I know a very very good album from Mechina with a lot of electronic effects, that is very likely to be a lot better than the next album. But mentioning its name has become almost forbidden nowadays with the new fans that arrived post-compendium....

[@Ihrvondjaer]

@@ktmdza2776 Xenon is love Xenon is life, Xenon has the best opening track period. Progenitor and Venator have the best ending tracks. I've been here since Cepheus single, but my hot take is that Venator had the best dramatic pacing of any album yet. And I do like the Siege/Venator stlye more than the Embers/Telesterion style. would love some more Dave though, but Anna Hel was a good addition, really sells Enyos character, and the last albums were mostly about her anyways.

[@Guzwar]

@@ktmdza2776 I'm not up to date on Mechina-stuff, what happened with this Compendium? Is it some mixing thing that divides the fans, like Nevermore's Enemies of Reality?

[@Guzwar]

@@piggyeternal5724 cool beans, thank you for the info.

[@NickYoung22]

One of my favorite things that certain artists do, is tell a story through the tone of the music. The sound tells the story, along with the lyrics. You can really feel the battle, especially during the battle at 4:46 and the uplift after. VICTORY!

[@brandonmeier7314]

Been on repeat all day...beautiful song.

[@luchermans6512]

A very strong single to herald Cenotaph. It takes good elements of both Xenon and Embers and mixes it up in a cybernetic package. If there is enough variation on vocals, then Cenotaph could become the new Embers for me.

[@ShiningSkylight]

I like this take.
