[@bencekmeczik6595]

Hope you guys will eventually come to Europe too.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

I had no idea these guys were American. They sound very European with all the folk metal/power metal coming out of there. Beautiful stuff man, massive Blind Guardian and Wintersun influences.

[@Rlyeh_The_Dead]

I totally see the infuence too. They give a fresh Ensiferum as well

[@SeaWitchinSeattle]

They are amazing live. Heard them with Unleash the Archers, and the lead singer of AR was the most entertaining and funny guy I have ever seen live!!

So you could say, when he died, he ascended into the... Aether Realm

[@brucewayne404]

4:20 - This might be my favourite lyric verse in any song ever.

[@aethernal1379]

In case anyone was wondering, the runic inscription on the sword at 1:49 spells out "HOTDOG STYLE" :DDD . "HOTDOG" also appears on one of the enemy mages' robe. Now I'm really curious about what the secret recipe might be for that magic hotdog that gives you so much power... :P

[@79thinline]

This is why you should never get a tattoo in foreign script Great now I’m imagining these guys trying to force some poor enchanter into empowering their stuff so they can summon some old god and instead now they summon the great Oscar Meyer Weiner man!

[@styxxhs8048]

Maybe this song was REALLY about hotdogs.. the lead vocalists favorite foodies?! Wooo!

[@darrylwoodbury]

Never underestimate the power of hot dogs!

[@Sovietube]

blood for the hotdog god 🩸🩸

[@Alaztor878]

It's a jutsu, didn't you notice the fingering techniques the dark mages did in the end? Expected, evil always stirs in Hotdog Village.

[@dgwagster]

Best metal show I have seen in decades. If Aether Realm is playing in you area, go. Audience participation was off the chart. If you love the live metal experience, these guys deliver 100%. A must see live band. Their albums and videos sound really good but they sound even better live on stage!

[@falk.r.h8963]

hopefully the sun the moon the star gets a music video like this too

[@doctorsatan3371]

I don't care if it does or not, it's the no.1 song of the 21st century either way

[@MrEgofreak]

It'd probably be the most expensive music video ever shot! LOL.

[@crazyuncleron]

They didn't get a music video sadly, just a playthrough which was still really good

[@Kancerru]

That'd be a whole short film.

[@bjp4869]

I mean, I doubt it would happen, but it would be fucking amazing.

[@pruzman]

Woah! It's awesome to see a song from Tarot get a Napalm vid.

[@zodiaxkyuubi8899]

This was awesome! I look forwards to a music vid for The Devil, it's a tarot card about being shackled by what someone perceives as 'bad/evil', and exposes how people's ideas of 'bad/evil' create who they are. It's a card about an individual whose misunderstood by those around them, themselves or both. It's very interesting because the picture on the card itself is technically Pan from Greek mythology, and back in those older time everyone was fighting over whose religion/beliefs were best, and bad rumours were created for each of the deities that went against a people's belief system and morale. This is where the Devil began, all deities with horns or anyone who worshipped a deity with horns was made out to be a 'villain' by the older version of Christians/Catholics. It was the same for anyone who didn't follow their customs, which in a sense made them like 'the devil' or a 'devil worshipper'.
