BE'LAKOR - The Smoke Of Many Fires (Official Lyric Video) | Napalm Records

[@lukedvisscher4676]

It's pretty hard sometimes, not having anyone else in my actual life to share this with who would appreciate it. But this I know, that there are others out there who realize how good this is. And I guess I should be thankful for that. I guess we all should.

Luke D Visscher Find some metalhead friends and you’ll be best friends.

Someone started to like metal too late in his life, or failed to make friends in childhood?

Same here. I feel sad now thanks you.

The music is spot on draws me in that drummer is going ham

[@MycketTuff]

Once blessed by this band it's forever. I hated all new metal and stopped taking in new bands in 2008 with all the fucking numetal and later djent (and even dubstep) pushing itself into everything. Wasn't aware this band existed until about a year ago.

[@alexrose7394]

Agreed, it pulls you in from the start. Then the slow drum build, followed by the guitars harmonizing, and the drums hitting harder. Such a great work.

[@edemardil]

The fact that this band isn't more famous will always blow my mind.

[@willo1345]

7:10 on is by far my favorite part of the song. The story reaches such a profound conclusion and the melody behind it really drives it home.

[@samg8572]

With you on that

[@ttouds9583]

Sure it is

[@critically_red8722]

This is my absolute favorite metal song from my absolute favorite metal album from my absolute favorite metal band. I know a lot of people swear by Stone's Reach, and I know it hasn't been out long enough to fully establish itself as a metal classic for a lot of people, but I instantly fell in love with this album when it released.

[@Femalenun]

how can songs this good actually exist, we are not worthy for such a treat

[@humzatariq7136]

Man this song is so epic. Belakor has been one of my favourite bands for the past few years. Cheers from Pakistan. 🇵🇰 Fraught is my absolute favourite

[@tehokotkat]

Pakistan has a good taste, in music? Nice to hear, from Finland.

[@xenogorwraithblade2538]

[@tapanjoshi6277]

[@TheGhostVenom]

The screams in the background around 5:09-5:11 are SO masterfully. subtely done. Holy crap the power and emotion

[@Raazhem]

The part where the protagonist is seized during his sleep and tied and thrown in the fire in fromt of his resigned family always brings tears to my eyes. The guitar parts perfectly reflects the feelings of hopelessness, despair and free or death. A masterpiece. I like how this story leads to more general thoughts in the end of the songs. Great work, as always, mates.

[@Kisamaism]

What an incredible song. I normally shy away from growls - but this beautiful piece would not be complete without them. Kudos to Be'lakor - truly a remarkable accomplishment.

"From a trail intertwined life and death strewn behind To the stars it returned from the fire" What a perfect ending to the album.

[@tackkyy4959]

The river had brought with it much that day, From driftwood to blood from the ember Some things were hidden While others were seen Yet the man somehow could not remember... Having ambled away from the water's banks To return to his tribe and their lights, He soon found a failing, Of flesh, and of mind - They were no longer robust or bright What he could not have seen Was the sickness upstream; Those abandoned remains of the wasted What he could not have known Was the blight of the bone In each ebb and each flow he had tasted Dawn found him ailing, delirium rife Those he loved feared his illness would wander With time wearing thin, His young eyes clouded in As the odour of smoke became stronger It was then that he heard the sharp crackle of torches, Carried past him by men from his clan A panic cut through All the life that he knew It was over before it began Rope looped his wrists and held tight to his veins As beside him his relatives sagged And with tears in their eyes, Through confusion and cries, Out towards the wild flames he was dragged Like billions before him, regardless of form, It ended as chance had decided So briefly contained, An inferno's refrain, Having powered and angered and guided At the heart of the blaze, awareness dissolved Light ascended devoid of desire From a trail intertwined, Life and death strewn behind, To the stars, it returned, from the fire

Countless Skies are named after one of Be'Lakor's songs, and with good reason :D also Fractal Gates is amazing. Insomnium and In Mourning are somewhat similar, but more gloomy (especially Insomnium). Also very great atmospheric bands though.
