Omnerod - The Amensal Rise (Full album stream)

[@josephgallo6115]

Digging this album greatly. Excellent work! ♫♪♫

[@josephiousbrosif]

I've been a metal head for most of my life and I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard! Usually even in good albums there's at least one skippable song but not this one. Just epic from front to back! I give it 5 years max before you guys blow up in the metal community. Keep up the great work guys! 🤘

[@_AndreSix]

Fingers crossed !! We would love to bring this live to as many cool stages as possible. André

[@Omnerod]

Thank you so much, we truly appreciate that!

[@adamahern6968]

WOW ! So good. Get it in the hands of the big metal reaction youtube channels to help spread it. Deserves to explode.

[@speakerpythia]

Occasionally I browse metalstorm to find a new group to listen to. I saw the release of this album a few weeks ago, and one of the comments was, "This is like a mad marriage between Devin Townsend and Disillusion." Okay, so my interest is piqued. After listening to this album innumerable times, I can see why the comparison was brought up, but your sound is unique. I love this album so much. I can't even begin to tell you all the times I experience frisson throughout the album. I'm really, really looking forward to more from you guys. edit: three months later, still have this on repeat...

[@cyclopscataract]

Album of the year.

[@69leehammond]

Blown away by this epic album. Like cross between Devin Townsend & Orbit Culture. Now that would be an epic live show. Keep up the awesome work, and hopefully see in the UK at some point in time 😄🤘🤘

[@Ihlo]

This scratches many itches.

[@_AndreSix]

please remember to stop when it starts bleeding

[@MJ-vd8bj]

Collab when

[@bhaalgor84]

This album must've been created using some sort of magic, because i'm thoroughly enchanted here. Damn! Best i've heard in a long time!

[@toneshepherd8300]

This will be on my car stereo and all my musical devices for a good long time.... masterful writing, beautiful album....

[@_AndreSix]

Oh yeah, thanks for that comment ! :)

[@metalgt6828]

My CD is stuck in my disc changer in my dash in my broken-down vehicle... I'm about to dismantle and gut the whole dash lol

[@europlatus]

SPORE! Song of the decade for me, and I'm not even exaggerating. Maybe it's even song of the millennium, but I might be exaggerating now, I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you after a few more listens.

[@speakerdestroyer425]

Some of the vocals on this album could legitimately open a black hole. Top stuff lads!

[@TheMedievalBard]

It's mind blowing that there's only 3.1K views on such a masterpiece of an album. The songwritting and production beyond amazing, definitely my top pick for 2023 so far!

[@bb-sw6ur]

Best proggy death metal I've heard in a while. Gives me BTBAM, Native Construct vibes

[@helenhunt5414]

Godtier album in every possible aspect!!❤ Love the cover art too - really cute spider😁!!🕷️ Disagree with the comments in which you are compared to Devin, Leprous, etc. You are you, with your own immediately recognizable, distinct vibe/style!! Of course there's a high possibility that Leprous or Devin's fans might love your music, but you are you and it's awesome!! I hope you'll get all the recognition you deserve, I, for my part, already introduced you to four people and got a glowing feedback, and will continue to do so - such quality music/band should be known ❤

[@memorabiliatemporarium2747]

Alkaloid dropped another masterpiece of an album that I have been waiting for five years and STILL this is what I've been listening to, repeatedly, ever since finding it through a random instagram ad. Album of the Year. I have ZERO doubt this will be looked back on as one of the best albums of the decade.

[@nightmarefuel3478]

Criminally underrated, top tier work right here.

[@st.anatolitis]

Came here from metalstorm also, amazing album guys, thank you for this music!

[@HalfLifeSistah]

This album is so dope! It was just what I expected-- yet more than what I expected, if that makes any sense. Beautiful work, guys! ♥

[@themalsabor]

A few parts were a bit more theatrical(?), than I am used to listening to these days, but overall absolute beast of an album. Will definitely recommend and listen to it many more times. Edit: I know I said I liked it, but really this gets better and better as I listen to it!

[@goronhead]

I don't think I've ever gotten this hooked into an album just from the first note, and it does not let go from there! I can tell this is one I'll have to listen to several times just to fully appreciate everything happening

[@-Ruben]

Lyrics to all the songs here in these comments 😁:

[@-Ruben]

Sunday Heat: Sheltered by the void Before chance, before fate Before light and time became a cage Before the house we built burned down Before flesh, before matter and before shame Sinking in It feels so warm, so pure Cherish this space Build up the wall Absorb the grace before you Before God Before Science Before peace Before war Before life and before all we’re meant to be Before hate Before love Love The sun and the night watching over me, nurturing me The sun and the night watching over me, strengthening me Set me free Set me free

[@-Ruben]

Satellites: All alone, stranded, I’m counting the years Waiting for my ignorance never to end At last the answers appeared in the sky In the form of benevolent satellites standing by Obsolete tranquility now soiled by whirring sounds The advent of independence Strings of theory giving motion to messengers from primal times Violating the sheltering clouds Cyclic nuptial swirl Fathers of your world Swaying, swaying (Born again, paving the way Born again, paving the way) Grab the strings, learn the steps We’ll lead the dance for you (Time is nothing as long as it’s not being witnessed passing by Cosmic laws bear their own conception of what justice is like Monumental spreaders propagating passion and emotions Downscaling entropy and chaos into our piteous lives) Nothing will ever be the same, we’re alone now, together My race, collective consciousness, but no friends, no God Silent guardians Loyal protectors Distant tyrants Absent oppressors Time is nothing as long as it’s not being witnessed passing by Cosmic laws bear their own conception of what justice is Monumental spreaders propagating passion and emotions Downscaling entropy and chaos into our piteous lives Clear the womb Surrender all that made you whole Silent guardians Loyal protectors Distant tyrants Absent oppressors Play, play with me, play with me, play with me Lay with me, lay with me, lay with me, lay with me Eternally Descending before our eyes Carriers of our demise Ancestral floating cathedrals As they fall, I shall rise

[@-Ruben]

Spore: Your design was as sudden and pure as blooms of spring, unfaltering Though our ending is as certain as the fall of leaves I heard summers are getting longer I should have known these venetian sceneries would stay with me, never leave me But how in the world could I treasure this life sentence when death is but an open door I failed, I went astray I never meant to hurt you How could I fail to see the beauty in all you wanted us to be My selfish quest for security is leading me nowhere Salvaging my own integrity, my own impermanence To hell with chemistry, I’ll leave it all to chance Barring up sensitivity Putting up with the levity Can’t you hear the words I can never seem to speak out loud Gasoline slowly filling my lungs as I wave to the crowd I was everything, everything you had dreamed of everything that you needed I’ve abandoned you, abandoned what I had, abandoned what I was We’re smart enough to read between the lines And lost enough to believe what we find And why would we find our way When death is an open door ? As I get to realize We can achieve harmony, symbiosis Every breath you take is new ground to start all over again, the five of us Freight by the winds like spores stuck in a storm Only time will tell where we’re headed We may tremble on the way there but we’re carried by the same air So we will be together anywhere My selfish quest for security is coming to an end, I will transcend Salvaging our integrity, our future permanence, unbalanced To hell with chemistry, I’ll leave it all to chance I’ll see no casualty, from chaos I commence To hell with logic, to hell with empathy I’ll sit back and laugh Sit back and laugh Blossoming under sun and rain All the worry now seems vain Though I’ll always feel ashamed I’m just waiting for the end Let’s drink to the breaking of our dams Soon all of our threnodies will be drowned out by the sounds of the sea Soon venetian sceneries will be all that we see Soon all of our threnodies will be flushed out by the sea Blossoming under sun and rain All the worry now seems vain Though I’ll always feel ashamed I’m just waiting for the end I'll be guided by the shape of your dreams By the sound of your words, of your voice

[@-Ruben]

Magnets: Ravage my innocence and make me pay Pay Scanning my every weakness, locking eyes with my future My path to be set in stone by forces beyond my control At last we are sailing over the seas of granite, ambassadors of tar Now take your leave, and let our lives unwind like clockwork Let my life unwind Open the gates Paint us all grey Open the gates Help us mutate Control is a souvenir Kindness : debris of the man I used to be Exposed for the world to see Packed up for you to keep Normalize, make the trouble your own Mesmerize, let them know how you’ve grown Patronize, let them sit by your throne Normalize, it is all flesh and bone Slaves, martyrs, preys, dying to fight for their right to be left alive Slaves, martyrs, failures, dying to fight for their innocence Magnets channeling my temper Magnets dancing and swirling without aim (Without aim) I’m half the man I could be Blame the virus inside of me Breaking my defences Altering my senses Fame will not be the remedy Blame the virus inside of me Blame the seed they planted in my rotting brain Open the gates Paint us all grey Open the gates Retaliate, asphyxiate, incinerate, eradicate Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape Show us the way Paint us all grey Grind Show me the way Grind all matter to dust

[@-Ruben]

The Amensal Rise: Fourteen years away, who am I to say Fourteen miles a day, crawling through the maze Basic intuition to suffer and make suffer Communication by means of cremation Time’s right for us to take our chances Vile hearts and soiled minds Once desperate to be seen Now running from the light And it’s finally time for me to take my chances Frail heart, noble mind I was once striving to be yours Now begging to be mine Past versions of myself staring me down Mocking me for the mess I have made, for the mess I’vе become Every word is armamеnt Every gaze is violence Breathless ascension brought down by abstract laws Propelling me down, the ground won’t stop us Burn the bodies down, burn the bodies down Say his name and count to ten Burn the parish down, burn them all alive Wives and children, thieves and kings Rise, rise Put me to the test Stand upon my chest Rise, rise Bury the waste Bury the waste and wait Fourteen steps away, source of my dismay Fourteen times a day, keeping me at bay Basic intuition to suffer and make suffer Self-preservation by means of sedation There’s nothing to steal and there’s no-one to save No mouth to feed and no hand to take Now there’s nothing to hear but chimes, there’s nobody near Blind there’s nothing to see you’re blind, there’s nothing to fear Distant tongues berating me in dialects I don’t understand How long has it been dark outside ? I thought it would be over within a year Bury the waste, bury the waste Frail heart and noble mind : The defects in my design Put me to the test, stand upon my chest Colors turn to numbers, my truth now concealed in the ground At last I get to take my chances and become one of them Shedding loneliness by remaining alone Spending my days burying the waste

[@jackliechtenstein660]

Absolutely gorgeous. A lot of the more complex albums out there don't have a creative core, but you guys have that beating heart in your music.

[@_AndreSix]

Until the cover alien monster rips it out. Thank you !

[@JasonGaiters]

KZbin recommended! You guys have a new fan!!

[@Omnerod]

Thanks for checking us out, glad to have you on board!

[@codybeinert1109]

Wow, this was chaotic and really sick. Well done guys! Also holy shit the finale of The Commensal Fall was absolutely apeshit LMAO

[@_AndreSix]

Hihi, Romain did such a great job on writing that. It didn't make any sense to my personally until the finished version and now I love it. André (bass dude)

[@MJ-vd8bj]

Love the horror movies vibe in this album

[@venaamori1]

Epic style and album, thanks to exceptionally catching parts like: 6:56 - 8:19, 33:02 - 33:29, 42:32 - 43:11, 1:02:42 - 1:04:00. Next album I expect more parts like these ones ;-)

[@seemikehack]

It's giving Devin Townsend and I love it.

[@thebrotherhoed6605]

I can best describe it as the Leprous album that all Leprous metal fans hoped for years ago. Which is not to say that Leprous is not a good band. But they are no longer a metal act. It's a really great and epic album. I was blown away after the first listen. AOTY 2023 worthy.

[@ArkadiuszNiemier]

This record and the new ...and Oceans are the two best records of 2023 so far.

[@tuliosilva7274]

sinceramente album do ano até agora.

[@craiganderson3894]

My friend Scott guitarist in Cyclops Cataract recommended this. Excellent 21st Century Metal!!! Everything pales next to 1965-67 John Coltrane though…

[@shimmuus]

WOW! 😍😍

[@Seyrofficial]

such a sick release!

[@Fakewhack-st8fl]

Wicked sound. So unique.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

I hope everyone remembers to give this a thumbs up! ♥

[@ChristianDoiron]

10 thumbs up!

[@winterbear8633]

I expected something chill from the artwork. I was not ready for this, but I'm staying!

[@0mnis14sh]

Satisfying

[@Antifascista89]

AOTY contender

[@nightmarefuel3478]

2nd this

[@wijckmeister]

One word: dayum

[@_AndreSix]

Thanks buddy ! Please send it forward to some friends, the only way this type of music can be heard more ;).

[@Mokk92]

0:09 The sound before all hell breaks loose sounds like stepping on grass in Minecraft

[@mrbiggs2305]

Fuck yeah this is mean as

[@_AndreSix]

Thanks ! Send it to a couple friends if you don't mind :)

[@fyndnflyp]

Still probably my favorite album of the year so far. Reminds me of Panic at the Disco but Prog/Death Metal, you wouldn't think it would work at all but it absolutely does!

[@AcadémieduGrosSon]

❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@ignorethefashion82]

This is an excellent album and all, but I'm just trying to enjoy a relaxing hot air balloon ride with my wife over here.

[@Omnerod]

Damn spiders ruining romantic moments since ever

[@_AndreSix]

*POP* Oh oooo....

[@martyfrancis1011]

This has Devin Townsend written all over it...FA&FO!!! Hehe

[@SuperBlazeomatic]

Will there be a cd version of the album?

[@Omnerod]

Absolutely! CDs will be made available on release day.

[@_AndreSix]

yes !

[@martyfrancis1011]

How about Vinyl? You'd be surprised how vinyl throughout all these years has done nothing but increase in sales.

[@dredgenjinn]

transitions so good im a different gender

[@PolliHyla]

the spider needs a name

[@_AndreSix]

I like to think of him as Freddy.

[@narasimha7187]

Prog Metal bores me, ive wanted to like it, all the ingredients are there, but somehow no. I even bought a Devin Townsend album to convince myself but again just no real response to it. THIS however is different, its so dynamic and gorgeous. Absolutely love it!

[@chrisw7347]

Which DT album was it?

[@dredgenjinn]

im confused

[@Omnerod]

So are we, tbh

[@dredgenjinn]

@@Omnerod music that confuses me is ultimately good music
