MORS PRINCIPIUM EST - Lost in a Starless Aeon (First Listen)

[@markolilja489]

It's Mors Principium Est. It's Latin, so it's not a shortened version of estate. "Mors principium est" means "Death is the beginning."

[@ShaneDiablo]

Marko thank you for the information I am pinning this comment, thank you!

[@meusana3681]

more accurately "death is the principal (of life)"

[@ravenwda007]

This fucking song. I wake up in the morning and the pre-chorus and chorus is in my fucking head.

[@tuomas2611]

The solo was just.. so beautiful im speechless

[@hiotsobo]

This bands whole discrography is insane spanning since 2003. And it’s acceptable to say A-on or E-on

[@doctajuice]

It's all the riffs

[@vikviking4755]

One of the best melodeath bands out there 🤘🇫🇮 Pori perkele🖤

[@sairas3649]

Porista ne parhaat tulee ;-)

[@TheTonza88]

Yoo dude, you are listening one of the best melodic metal bands out there and this band is so underrated! I fucking love this band

[@NikolayTodorov2702]

One of the most underrated metal bands EVER. Great band with some Amazing songs in their discography. Andy Gillion is their main songwriter and composer and for me he is a guitar God! Those riffs, man... Unearth!

[@kvltizt]

Even their earlier songs before Andy joined are great tbh.

[@jeffbowling8891]

I knew they were good, but OH MY! this 2020 album is a MUST BUY along with the new Dark Tranquility.

[@johnwesthora130]

Can't recommend Be'lakor enough, if you haven't gotten to it yet.

[@juhavaris2144]

Love this band :)

[@nollatoleranssi9177]

This is one of the best songs I have heard

[@XDthedevilsrejectsXD]

Lost in a starless aeon changed my life forever Andy gillion is a metal God

[@molekyyli]

I discovered these guys a month ago, now just got here to see your reaction to them (and it was hilarious to watch :D). :)) I found them through searching for guitar covers of Insomnium's songs and the guy covering them had also done several covers of MPE. It was a literal instalove... I'm not sure whether it was I Am War or Reclaim the Sun what I heard first. I've listened to them since then so much that I can't be sure which came first. Both songs are awesome. After that I listened to the Lost in a Starless Aeon and went to pre-order the newest album (it was released today (23/10)), I'm impatiently waiting for it to arrive next week... You've already got a lesson on Latin, so here's a lesson on Finnish: Pori is kinda like Poh-ri (i like in "kill"). Finnish is pretty consistent in pronunciation, so "i" is always i like in "kill". And Po- like in "poll". :)

[@juhavaris2144]

Think u gonna like Bloodred hourglass another great finnish melodeath band :)

[@NikolayTodorov2702]

Great band, man. Last year I watched them live and I was amazed!

[@PumaPantalones]

These guys are badass.

[@DimitriSabadie]

It starts at 6:11 (damn)

[@ShaneDiablo]

I like to talk Dimitri 😂🤘

[@richardsaenziii7324]

Such a beautiful song

[@jakexe3009]

Listened to these guys around the unborn release, made the random choice to check otu what the were like now, and omfg, they got better!

[@VickThor84]

Dude what a great reaction!!! 😎🤘🤘🤘 Instasuscribed and maybe ask for a reaction to one of Sweden rising stars their name is Orbit Culture they are a mix of Metallica (the old Metallica of course 😎) and Gojira, please put your seatbelt and listen to "Redfog" or "Open Eye" I swear you will dig it🤘🤘🤘 They are on the same technical league as Mors Principum Est

[@ShaneDiablo]

Thanks Vick much appreciated hope all is well with you, I found the official video for Redfog, we will do it in your honor coming soon!

[@VickThor84]

@@ShaneDiablo thxs Man!!! 😎🤘🤘

[@mallemok37]

Masterpiece👍

[@felipecampos3045]

it is like dimmu borgir, but with better riffs

[@digitalspecter]

You absolutely should check out Be'lakor! Some of my favourites are Countless skies, Neither Shape nor Shadow, Natural Apostasy or Ember's Arc but I don't think they have a bad song in them :)

[@ShaneDiablo]

Fingers, so crazy you said that.. on my podcast The Corpse Cast we are tal;king about Of Breath and Bone from Be'Lakor ! wow weird recording this friday should be out everywhere you would listen to podcasts the friday after!

[@shoestring413]

Yep that’s some wicked ass shreds right there. Only heard one other song of them and I loved it as much as this one. Looks like I need to add these to my bandcamp wishlist.

[@Finkele1]

It isn't jazz mate :D (so it's tight af)

[@interplay4520]

This is one of my favourite songs. Absolutely adore it

[@kvltizt]

I hope you've gotten to Apprentice of Death by now! One of their best songs. Underrated band.

[@nukatommy5357]

Dude you gotta do My Home, My Grave for this same album! MPE is amazing! Love your animation during the song!

[@Edezart]

Hi Andy!

[@Brian-bf4vb]

Great production.

[@stevenlopez1380]

Estate, lmao....

[@ShaneDiablo]

Steven! I am knew here! hahaha 🤘🤘

[@blakejohnson7148]

like everything but the vocals

[@rickbelk6844]

With you Blake, musically it was cool, but the vocals just grated for me. I guess that's death metal for you though.

[@blakejohnson7148]

@@rickbelk6844 Yeah the music was great but with these modern metal bands there are literally hundreds of them where the vocalists could be interchanged and you would never know the difference. I don't see why they all feel like they have to sound the same.

[@hiotsobo]

Blake Johnson is have to disagree. Ville Viljanen is considered one of the best death metal vocalists in the business. The way he articulates his lyrics while growling is a a unique talent they MOST death metal vocalists can’t do. His style is similar to Jens Kidman and Tomas Lindbergh, and He’s up there with mikael akerfeldt and Bjorn Strid as far as status-minus the cleans . Death vocals aren’t for everyone. It’s definitely an acquired taste. I can’t stand power metal vocals. No matter how good the riffage is, I immediately get turned off from the band. ✌️

[@Malentor]

Think of it as more of an instrument that adds to the perceived brutality, if you will - helps some people come to terms with it. Personally, I prefer this type of music to come with death metal growls.

[@jeffbowling8891]

@@hiotsobo I agree. I actually think this guy is so discernable and also still heavy & death sounding. Could be the production but this is the cleanest understandable death vox I have ever heard. It is perfect IMO.
