Oathbreaker "

[@AlexHolland123]

She has the most blood curdling screams and the softest cleans I've ever heard in metal. Uniquely astounding

[@chazfiscus373]

Xela D it gets so much worse but she’s definitely great

[@slavden]

It's like a dark side of Jinjer, but the problem is the age of alt-metal is over, by 2010 nearly all os the female-led bands were forgotten :( kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYKxpXqlgph5jLc

[@andywhos]

It’s sooo goooood!

[@zakuratron]

When she detonates that final scream. It makes me shred tears to no end. It’s heavy impactful music.

[@richybran3690]

I’ve never felt so much connection to a song, to those lyrics, to her voice. I’ve never related so hard. Truly incredible

[@prueba67651]

Is this the first band you hear after crawling from the jungle?

[@thegreatdisillusionist]

@@prueba67651Why you gotta be a c*nt, man?

[@cosmicdeerreviews6268]

Honestly some of the scariest screams I've ever heard in metal. The level of pain at the end is almost unbearable.

[@randomavenger3048]

Her vocal remembers Jacob Bannon (Converge)

[@Daytonawhite]

WH7 8RCN would kill for a Bannon/Tanghe track.

Apparently you don't listen to a lot of metal.

Almost like female DSBM. Silencer style.

[@thejuggernaut6789]

This entire album has been one of the most important albums in my life the last 5ish years... strangely depressive yet relieving

[@kivzzzz]

*LYRICS* 10:56 The time you plunged Into the gray cobblestones Of a back alley to our house You forgot to use your hands To break the sudden fall The sun rose when I saw Steam ascending from Your wet clothes and soiled body That is where You became meaningless Your skull merged With the surface I mended your broken nose *Second Son of R.* Raised in between doll-shaped smoke Insects in every corner of our rotten house I hid in the walls of my room Tasting clean air through a window crack In these childhood dreams where imagination was key I drove the needle through my skin Weaving a delicate net to embrace me And hold me to sleep where no one could see Where no one could hear me breathe Your empty house won't comfort me Don't make me pity you in the end I won't forget the years when disappointment was key Blood runs thick in the veins of guilt Drowning your promises made never embrace me And hold me to sleep where no one could see Where no one could hear me breathe Your shallow heart doesn't soothe me Your false love won't break me Don't make me pity you in the end This drunken body I've left behind And the problems that are no longer mine I resided under your broken feathers For too long scraps of pictures in a box Is what remains of those childhood dreams You'll never know, The person I've become

It's like Björk in a black metal band. Incredible juxtaposition.

[@sk69to96]

it's fucking incredible really.

[@horstkantholz8386]

Björk ist Krieg

[@DaveKillebrew]

The first time I heard this I thought the exact same thing.

[@ALK-le6pv]

Yeah, her vocals struck me as a cross of Bjork and Kim Deal. Well the clean ones.

[@javierchavez4935]

Thought the same

[@Lilghostpepper]

The ending STILL gives me goosebumps and I heard this 4 years ago

[@FRAKTIONS]

Love the vulnerability in her voice. Emotional, cathartic and hauntingly beautiful music.

[@Szili0]

The the first 2 minutes sounds like Ovedur from Sigur Rós. Absolutely fantastic song. What a time to be alive... This new wave of black metal (Blackgaze?) with the shoegaze/post-metal/post-rock influences is amazing. I mean just look at these bands: deafheaven, An Autumn for Crippled Children, Oathbreaker, Altair of Plagues, Bosse-de-Nage or even AmenRa... Damn

[@JebJester]

I love An Autumn for Crippled Children and Altar of Plagues. It's a shame that AoP isn't together anymore.

[@deadramaster]

Thanks for the list of bands. ima check them all out

[@reveu1]

it's not black metal... Oathbreaker is more crust punk/post hardcore with some sludge influence. Blackgaze isn't even a new thing..

[@Voidkom]

I listen to almost exclusively black & crust. There's no crust in here, it's mainly just dark hardcore and black metal. You're probably confused due to crust having a lot of crossover eg. when combined with black metal (Martyrdöd, Iskra, Young And In The Way, etc) or neocrust when combined with dark/melodic hardcore (Tragedy, Alpinist, Jungbluth, Downfall of Gaia, etc). This has plenty of black metal elements though, the part from 2:25 til 3:00 is a straight up typical black metal guitar riff.

[@danielsuarez786]

Reported990 well, your description is so chaotic. It's just blackened melodic death metal similar to early Novembre. But lets say they have their personality. No crust or punk or hardcore at all.

[@winterfrost99]

A tour with Deafheaven is a MUST!!

[@KC_rocka]

I only found out about this band a couple of weeks ago whilst I was searching the net for some new black metal to listen too, wow what a gem of a band. As some people have mentioned the ending is spine chilling, what an amazing experience, a delicate 1st song, emotional, raw, and then goes into the brutal 2nd song, so glad I discovered this band.

[@HoistTheSailsGentlemen]

Raised in between doll-shaped smoke Insects in every corner of our rotten house I hid in the walls of my room Tasting clean air through a window crack In these childhood dreams where imagination was key I drove the needle through my skin Weaving a delicate net to embrace me And hold me to sleep where no one could see Where no one could hear me breathe Your empty house won't comfort me Don't make me pity you in the end I won't forget the years when disappointment was key Blood runs thick in the veins of guilt Drowning your promises made never embrace me And hold me to sleep where no one could see Where no one could hear me breathe Your shallow heart doesn't soothe me Your false love won't break me Don't make me pity you in the end This drunken body I've left behind And the problems that are no longer mine I resided under your broken feathers For too long scraps of pictures in a box Is what remains of those childhood dreams You'll never know, The person I've become

[@nyrojamesdio765]

LA MEJOR BANDA DE METAL DE BELGICA ... SALUDOS DESDE BARRANCA PERU

[@resevil2396]

This is the kind of black metal I like to hear. Shit that is not afraid to break the mold and still be heavy as fuck. I'm honestly not sure that any other extreme metal genre is as willing to experiment and branch out as black metal. I can't wait to hear the full album, this shit is amazing and incredibly beautiful!

[@scumbagpeter]

This isn't black metal, it's a kind of dark and melodic hardcore :)

[@resevil2396]

Well everyone has their own definitions of genres but its definitely black metal to me. Im not a fan of hardcore and don't hear any elements of it really. Maybe a bit here and there, and theres definitely some progy sounding bits, but there is definitely a strong black metal element to their music and thats what stands out the most to me.

[@resevil2396]

It would be most accurate to say its a fushion of hardcore and black metal. Personally I've only really listened to the singles for the new album so far, which largely ditch the hardcore aspects for a stronger black metal sound with some postmetal in there too.

[@scumbagpeter]

I don't understand, what do you consider as "black metal stuff" in this track ?

[@resevil2396]

Generally anything with black metal style vocals (which she kind of has here, though its closer to plain screaming), tremolo picking, and a generally dark sound. But its not just me, their wiki page specifically mentions them as fusing hardcore with black metal.

[@micah8943]

This is it, music is so rarely this authentic, raw, candid, and emotional

[@SuMeK41]

I was not ready for that ending. Brilliant.

[@WretchedHero]

Holy moly! That was a ride! Awesome song. Awesome video. Awesome shirt of the drummer. Can't wait to experience the whole record.

[@vettu]

FUCK! This song made me look at the bands whole discography in a completely new way! I already enjoyed their previous albums, but now all the songs have changed for me. Hard to describe it but it's like this thing..when you know how great something ends up becoming, the foreplay becomes so much more exciting. If that makes sense to anyone?

[@CVholik]

Does any of their older stuff have singing like this?

[@Ninjamanhammer]

+RandoRando Don't think they have much as amazing as this, but the previous album did have some cleans.

[@jimvanmeer]

Beautiful cinematography, unmatched emotion.

Same tbh This is by far my fave track theyve ever done.

[@asdfpersonguy]

Eros|Anteros is a fantastic album. I can't imagine digging this song and not that album. However this song is really fucking good, and I think this album will top their previous two.

[@alfc7370]

I really love it ! All the textures in the song, the emotions ❤ I never got tired of listening

[@Jarceus]

I can't express how much appreciation I have for this music and especially the finale of this song. There is little music that carries me away emotionally like this - and I'm actually not that close to black metal as a whole. The pure, unfiltered power of the desperate screams at the end, which have shed any moment of artificiality, are so frighteningly immediate. I only manage to listen to this song every half a year, but I still keep coming back to it - even though I reliably know that after listening to it, my day is done.

[@星yve6wns]

I am really sad about the fact that this very interesting band appear to not be making any more music. Beautifully elegiac metal. We shall never see their like again.

[@TeacherJuanMQ]

[@Legendias]

@@TeacherJuanMQ Nah, i don’t think so. They are just not really active at the moment.
