Forget new years day, the 1st of Jan is Mechina day!

[@soccerguy1018]

The mixing on this is fucking beautiful Perfectly balanced, as all things should be 🤘

[@sera6065]

I need Dave’s growls destroying my ears like in Progenitor

[@StaticImage]

I think that’s a thing of the past

[@monsieurbreakdown4814]

@@StaticImage did he left the band in a bad Way ?

[@angryktulhu]

@@monsieurbreakdown4814 it’s not about Dave. I don’t think so. On Siege they asked another vocalist to collab with, Anna Hel, and it worked just fine. So I think Joe could just find another vocalist for harsh vocals, he doesn’t seem to be stuck to Dave. I think Joe actually made that decision to proceed with softer style overall, and missing growls is just a consequence of that. Oh and also - you still hear male vocals underneath Mels singing, I believe that’s Dave

[@Dreznin]

@@angryktulhu I honestly think it has more to do with the characters being portrayed in the last couple of albums. The albums with Dave's growls have primarily focused on Amyntas and the Solider of Old Earth, while lately we've been getting more from the perspective of Alithea and Enyo. I'm pretty sure that once Amyntas comes back to center stage, we'll get the growls back. After all, while Mel typically sings the parts of both Alithea and Enyo, the part of Enyo being sang by Anna Hel in Siege shows that they aren't opposed to harsh vocals, but that it's a stylistic choice for the current albums. I'd bet money that we'll get Dave's growls back before the story is concluded.

[@returnformer3950]

@@Dreznin I sure hope so. But to my ears, it's not just about the vocals, the music itself seems a bit uninspired lately. Like 4 or 5 songs on the new album seem to have basically the same riffs and drums, and just vary a bit in the vocal melodies and other elements. But they're otherwise nearly the same song. Same for much of telesterion and siege. It seems like just a backdrop for the story telling rather than individual songs. You could switch around most of the songs on the last three albums and it'd be hard to tell which was misplaced. Progenitor, for example, had much more variety. Every song sounded distinct and every song sounded like it belonged on progenitor. It's still great music, but it's a bit lackluster compared to previous efforts.

[@GuardCharr]

THANK YOU, MECHINA!!! Listening to this song makes ENDURING THE CRUELTY OF TIME for the new album even more painful... but WORTH IT!

[@chloe3958]

This is amazing. Don't even know what else to say. Can't wait for the rest of the album

[@milkman2266]

"You must begin to look at this different," sounds like Alithea talking to Amyntas. This whole songs like her trying to convince him to help her seek vengeance against Empyrean for what they did, or perhaps the two of them simply agreeing that vengeance must be their goal.

[@ares9701]

Please bring 'the world we lost' back to spotify! I'm lost without it D:

[@ghoulunathics]

Thank you Mechina, you are the power core of my life. simply stunning song, i don't know how you do it. Merry Xmas and my best wishes to all of you

[@TheAedalas]

I really hope Mel learns to growl at some point. That would be perfecting perfection imo.

[@luchermans6512]

This is very promising for the new album. The music is emotional and powerful and the mix is much better, which allows the music to breathe (more so than was the case on Telesterion and Siege). Also, this is one of the best lyric videos I've seen (so many details!). Great work, Joe and the rest of Mechina's crew.

[@TheLiquidpower]

I am so excited for this. Siege was SUCH a good album on it's own (even though we are all missing the harsh vocals) and even better with that flawless transition back into Acheron. I am also loving the different styles of percussion you have been playing with. I am VERY hyped.

[@XenosysVex]

Awesome song! I love the vocals, guitars and overall mix!

[@taborg7518]

One of the most underrated bands

[@ShiningSkylight]

HEYYYYYYYY I will cry right now:'))) Merry Christmas Titanborn!

[@enki4589]

Joe you are a goddamn genius!!!! Love you guys!!!!

[@grinningdino]

I came here as fast as I could. Can't wait for the rest of this album!!

[@rubetz528]

I miss Holch growling, hopefully he will make it up for Siege.

[@LuminaryRain]

Really nice, relaxing song.

[@darkamyntas3820]

OH LAWDS IT CAME

[@badernera7497]

AND I CAME TOO FUCK

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

Mechina album hype is the reason for the season.

[@returnformer3950]

everyone should go request all the big reactors (tankthetech, a&p reacts, galacticcriminal, etc) react to this so that they can introduce more people to this amazing band...

[@clayman41]

Epic as usual. Looking forward to the release!

[@orkryst6528]

Can we get the world we lost back on Spotify T.T

[@TheDuckListener]

"Would you like to review this message before broadcast?"

[@ares9701]

Anyone know why it was removed? :(

[@Sizz98]

LETS GOOO

[@trading_shadows]

Well, I guess there is no hope for me getting something like Progenitor.

[@AxelPizzi]

Or As Embers Turn to Dust 🥲

[@sera6065]

I feel the same lamently

[@Pleebian94]

The Tellurian Pathos for me.

[@SeekingLost]

I've been listening to this song on repeat for the past 2 days, and I gotta say... it just gets better each time I heat it.

[@badernera7497]

This is my Christmas miracle

[@badernera7497]

Now that's what I call pretty epic.

[@XXpassegeofsighs]

Guitars are quite loud this time. Pretty good for a growless single.

[@MaaZeus]

And that is a good thing. Riffs are still king for any metal band.

[@pietro5456]

It's that time of the year folks!!!

[@Mitsuru14]

You've improved from your previous album, the voice balance is so much better. Love the riffs on this song too! Excited for your next album guys!

[@FlavioRodrigues-mm4gw]

what a song...that end gives me chills, man. damn.

[@kutasarri7113]

So freaking good! Mel killing it as always, but also hoping there's a Core version of this track because I love Joe's playing so much!

[@billybonce5457]

Мощно, очень круто! Жду альбом 1 января с нетерпением!

[@SheWolfVal]

Mel! Dave! Joe! You're the best and I love you so much!!! Thank you for being my favorite band!!! ♥♪

[@enki4589]

It won't let me like it more!!!!

[@minastojiljkovic2220]

Godlike.

[@NewtypeTeam]

wow! super!

Excelente 👌 👌 👌 👌

[@FlyingPanda_27]

This is amazing.....I really can't believe that this band always tops the bar with new music each time. I honestly love the different feel that this song has and I can't wait for the new album. I think Dave's and Mel's vocals work perfectly together harmonically. The riffs....unbelievable!!! It's so different than what we usually hear. Amazing track, amazing track, amazing track.

[@warning210]

Wonderful song!

[@Winslinator]

That is a KILLER riff! Getting Siege vibes already with this album 🙂

[@laurajullien-fournier3150]

Missing you so much!!!

[@josephbrown-hernandez7953]

These duets are killin me man, I always feel like someone is trolling Dave’s vocals during these latest songs! More Dave and only Dave.

[@StaticImage]

I get the feeling that Dave may no longer be able to perform vocals the way he used to. Maybe his voice is damaged?

[@returnformer3950]

@@StaticImage thats the feeling i get too, maybe he cant growl anymore. would be a shame...

[@catuvalos]

@@StaticImage Only 12 more days until we find out if this is the new Mechina sound i suppose.

[@StaticImage]

@@catuvalos I just wish Joe would tell us what’s going on in regard to the vocals. If he said “Listen, we’ve decided to move away from heavy vocals for xyz reason”, I’d appreciate it a lot. Let us know what’s going on. Don’t leave us hanging. That would make me think “oh, that’s a shame. But it’s ok, I understand” and probably enjoy it a lot more. But the silence is just suspicious.

[@angryktulhu]

@@StaticImage exactly. It’s not just me who keeps complaining about non existent growls. What’s going on, releasing Siege and then this song with no growls, no blast beats etc. Simple thing, if that’s the new direction thats here to stay then I’m out, we’ll all be happier

[@zennm8499]

Waw 😍 its super super

[@Silver.Leaves]

Aren't they singing as duet?

[@blackefeltsch7459]

@@Silver.Leaves I can hear his voice buried 100 feet beneath hers.

[@josephbrown-hernandez7953]

As suspected, Dave’s vocals are trolled throughout the entire album. Enough of the duets with Melrose already. Let Dave go all out and do his thing!

[@blackefeltsch7459]

@@josephbrown-hernandez7953 Yeah. Very disappointing. Dave's not the focus anymore. Doesn't even get one chorus or a line all by himself anymore. Sad. These doubled vocals are extremely annoying to listen to. The only enjoyable parts are in The Embers of old Earth where Dave at least growls all on his own. The album also lacks major hooks. The melodies just wail forth and forth without any dynamics. No highs and lows. Pass.

[@liampersson3794]

hey im just wondering when does the new album come out on spotify?

[@Aedalas]

YES! I am SO excited that my baIIs have retracted COMPLETELY up into my body cavity!!!

[@aleksanderolbrych9157]

One hell of a catchy track, I'm eager to hear more. And the atmosphere reminds me of... Old goth metal a bit? At times the keys sound like something from older Sirenia records. I dig this!

[@KJames2345]

Is this a new single by any chance, for a up coming new album?

[@milkman2266]

Really digging the tempo, this is a groovy little jam For those that are more musically trained, is this in 3/4 or 6/8 maybe? I get the feeling that the time signature is different than the standard 4/4

[@NasonVSRG]

Definitely more 3/4. Usually 6/8 has a 1-2 feel rather than 1 - 2 - 3 like this song has. I think it’s easier to tell listening to the hi hat

[@milkman2266]

@@NasonVSRG yeah I been trying to figure it out myself and it definitely has that 1-2-3 jumpiness to it. Love it

[@krzysiupieczarniak5634]

excuse me mr. cosmonaut is 1-1-2022 date of new album release?

[@immateriumepicmetal4544]

I need to know what place this album takes in the chronology of Mechina's lore🥰

[@eviltoad746]

I'll be honest, I'm hoping that I might be correct in saying that, based on the lyrics, it could be the long-awaitrd continuation from Xenon. That, or it could be between Telesterion and Siege, since we still don't really know what the hell happened to lead Enyo to want to kill an entire planet

[@CE_PHE_US]

I M P R E S I Ó N A N T E

[@Dan_ModernDayViking]

Well as Worf would say "You're not Klingon. That is why you have no Honor!" Good song though. Sounds amazing but knowing the mythology and history, you mess with a man's honor and there'll be hell to pay the likes of which even the Romans and their entire Empire feared. Nifty tune, guys 👍

[@RomanShopa]

That was unexpected! I so hoped to hear non-4/4 meter...

i mean its good, its mechina, but kinda feels like a rehash of siege. id rather a rehash of progenitor tbh... :/
