Modern Day Babylon - TRAVELERS (2013)

[@hastesoldat]

Yep. It's 2024 and this is still the most beautiful intro ever written.

[@gorgosaurusgorgora1381]

It looks like it was realized today

[@TausendjährigesTrump]

I remember first coming across this album, It was love at first sound. I remember sharing it with my friends and fellow musicians, most of whom were either confused because they didn't understand it or baffled by the fact they've never given this type of music a chance😂. Having received my first guitar at age 12, and now being 33, I've tried a wiiiiide variety of genres and types of music. Whatever genre or w.e.you want to label this as, this is it. There's nothing in music that I love more than listening to all of the emotions, stories, feelings, etc, coming from music with absolutely zero spoken words... I've tried countless times to fully explain this to non musicians. It's something that I don't think you can really comprehend unless you play an instrument, whether it be guitar, bass, drums, etc. It's something so different than just hearing vocals!! Give Intervals, Plini, Vitalism, Jason Richardson, just to name a few, a listen!!

[@DancingInFire]

Those guitar colours. Those tones. Those riffs. Those tapping. My mind can't even.

[@609-g4i]

Thanks for your contribution to music, brother. God bless. Dope song fr

[@plinidjentmayn8306]

So amazing. Listen to this band every single day. This band makes me feel so damn good inside.

[@ryantaylor4196]

You still do love to listen to the entire album only in the summer brings me some good vibes !!

[@Snorey]

why must your guitar be so beautiful it touches my soul

[@capoman1]

Fantastic looking 8 string guitars. 8 string AND fanned frets. Whew.

[@briantopps5638]

Skervesen guitars in poland

[@briantopps5638]

The blue is a skervesen swan model and the green is a skervesen raptor model

[@cepheus0642]

Can't get over the incredible creativity in your riffs and leads!

[@robertjrdurham396]

the whole travelers album is musical genius in my opinion

[@BladeofmoonlightKitto]

Robert Jr Durham dude real shit if any one complains about djent lacking musicality i refer them here

[@galenwalton9911]

Yeah man this is my homework album right here

[@briantopps5638]

100

[@Notonmonday]

I love this. Very fresh to my ears! Keep on rockin'!

[@sunnyredpanda6899]

this deserves way more views, some of the best riffs ive ever heard

[@jaydenriley2875]

your guitar collection is outrageous... love them all.

[@davecrupel2817]

Whenever this song starts, i always picture myself sitting out in some field, faaaar away from society in the middle of a moon-lit night. I imagine myself sitting there, doing a CE-5 meditation, (an actual meditation used to persuade extraterrestreals to reveal themselves) and after a bit, a ship becomes visible. Descending on my spot, and gently lands on the ground in front of me. And i meet them face to face.... Truely wonderful moment.

[@xdeathgrip210]

Never thought I'd Love any band more than Volumes. You guys just broke my new favorite band record. Had the same one since 2010. up until now. Amazingly Flawless.

[@Sejten11]

Your videos are the reason, I'm ordering skervesen guitar by the end of may. Great music as always, especially part from 3:13 is awesome!

[@RunawayThumbtack]

So much to love in this: Beautiful composition, beautiful guitars, formidable technique...Awesome.

[@dgenxryan]

So happy ive found these guys. Thank you COC.

[@FraggerFilms]

Love the end section of this, absolutely great track. Cannot fault a single song by Modern Day Babylon. Favourite djent band by far.

[@user-qu1xe5jn7f]

1:46-2:15 just absolutely perfect in every single way

[@ryantaylor4196]

Dude for real!!!!

[@diegoacuna4593]

Simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! This is what I love about music.... you will always find new amazing talents all over the world...

[@fabianfigueroaoficial]

In love with that Skervesen's Guitar!

[@tyreiraeth]

Just wanna say that I listen to this atleast once every day. Very enchanting. The solo is my favourite part, very minimalistic but to no degree short of amazing!

[@joeyschultz5555]

Just here to stop by and say this is still amazing

[@ryantaylor4196]

If I can get the entire album in tattoo form I’ll be so Joyful

[@RegisChapman]

having listened to a LOT of djent just the last few hours here on KZbin, I can tell you how difficult it is to sound interesting in this genre. This has a LOT of interesting stuff going on in it both rhythmically (so many djent bands sound amazingly alike) and tonally. Well done. Also, your guitars were so beautiful, I had to check them out. Thanks for the URL.

[@jaarbahd9062]

You are absolutely correct. When I discovered djent, I found that there was a lot of potential, but very few artists were living up to it. That being said, this is amazing. I come to this video about once a month to remind myself not to lose faith in this style.

TheStrayShot Thank you!

[@ImmunityZONE900]

Hope you guys go far.. the world needs to hear your music.. incredible

[@MrMixolydian7]

Wow. Lydian Djent!! Awesome.

[@BloodPython67]

1:49 had an Interval's feel to it..... Good song all together. Beautiful guitars man.

[@AzimiolaMshikamano]

I thought of "Epiphany" right from the start :)...

[@ModernDayBabylon]

AzimiolaMshikamano epiphany ??? why ??

[@muman717]

Totally agree

[@Omertahun]

TheStrayShot Dont worry, youtube comes up with Modern Day Babylon when someone click on Intervals playlist. I know because I got know your music this way.

[@GalacticPrince0101]

IN WHAT SENSE IN MUSIC THEORY

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Thank you for sharing your awesome music with us all. ^-^

[@kalloused]

I've had this on endless repeat for hours. It's brilliant

[@joshpehrs]

Geez, I LOVE the progressions between the two chords starting around 2:16 :) this is genius, guys...

[@dividepaths]

Awesome work. Excited for more.

[@aslanmane]

Who doesn't love metal you can go to sleep to? The mainstream always views metal as angry music, but this stuff chills me out. It's like Ryan Farish meets djent.

[@nrlegg]

Amazing. So stoked for the new tunes.

[@ChuklzGaming]

had a nap this afternoon and left youtube playing and when i woke up it was playing this song, gotta say im hooked. you guys are badass guitar players. you have a new fan, my friends! :)

[@JesSchwartz]

I truly enjoy watching your videos and listening to your music. You have this style of playing that is rare to find these days, and it shows the most in your original material. Your talent + the Skervesen is the complete the package. I hope you keep doing what you're doing, as you have personally inspired my creativity and guitar playing to a whole new level. Thank you!

[@gariiqore]

I miss this era

[@TeeReynolds]

Same here, there needs to be another era of it.... Even if im 40 ill be listening 😂

[@pedro.teixeira85]

I've never ever seen such a beautiful guitar in my life!

[@MarcelCoenenOfficial]

Very cool track, love the lydian modes :) Great work !

[@dropkickproductiontx]

Lydian mode is best mode

[@cam507]

4 years later...but, are a lot of their songs Lydian? How about the new song Timelapse?

[@speedyflyer57]

those first two minutes are among the most epic i've ever heard in my life. you guys really need to do more of that kind of thing! very awesome.

[@artvasch147]

Wow... that intro really took me somewhere I wasn't ready for haha. Love that

[@crazyenright]

This is absolutely phenomenal, the quality of the videos on your channel keep improving and I can't wait to see more!

[@treos17]

[@superhonkey0101]

I have never heard of that guitar brand before, but after checking them out I have to say they're very beautiful and artistic pieces. You all have nice taste! One day, I'll see myself owning a 7 string of theirs.

[@Hillgaard84]

Amazing!! :D love your Music!

[@ruddymolina7044]

Beautiful song, with the ambient elements.

[@ArcherVll]

Man, these tones :3 get me every time

[@Sphelpsx]

ironic that he is wearing a volumes shirt, because i was going to mention some of this song reminds me of volumes! haha

[@arathi0n]

Volumes tee. Also that groove with harmonics in the end... Damn guys, this is really good. Keep up that work :)

[@2010sinnamon]

[@whaa777]

Just amazing!

[@PingeMusic]

great song thank you. Have a skilful time. Pinge

[@analyzedwithin]

This was so sick! I love it!!

[@Djuggernaut117]

I've always loved seeing wobbly strings in playthrough vids. You picked a good frame rate for this video. Keep it up, my friend. You have a new fan.

[@ModernDayBabylon]

wobbly strings are only on canon5d ... nikons are ok :)

[@RichieAnthonyGuitar]

TheStrayShot so the 550D is capable of that? what exactly creates that effect if you don't mind sharing? Very interested.

[@Gagelocked]

Richie Anthony if I understand correctly it has to do with the frame rate and the frequency of vibration of the strings, I'm pretty sure you can find a more sciencey explaination but thats how I understand it :)

[@jerryeversole3869]

you also have to understand he is playing an 8 string guitar so those strings are very fat and loose, almost like a bass guitar so there is no denying a string vibration, shits tuned to drop satan

[@davecrupel2817]

@@ModernDayBabylon it makes the instrument look alive. I love it.

[@Mauldy]

Sounds awesome! Amazing looking guitars :o

[@wesleygalles]

I can't stop clicking replay.

[@Kieran_FleshD]

You're such an inspiration! Keep it up man!

[@ModernDayBabylon]

thx a lot Sithu !!

[@hashxg0d]

11 years later still feels like the first time I've heard

[@pchsnova6]

Awsome. just completely amazing! you should definately make a website with tutorials and more. this is some inspiring stuff here.

[@JoyFulDoom]

Love this song alot, ALOT! This songs puts you on a journey for sure. Makes me feel like I'm in a space ship from the middle to the end, and during the shredding, it's like I'm getting ganged up by enemy ships, and after that, my ship gets shot and damaged and is going down in the atmosphere of some planet and crashes.
