The most touching piece of electonic music in years. Its such a strong shot of emotions i barely can handle it.

[@tormendor8585]

Running on empty, after Love is digital... coincidence?

[@jasoncaesar112]

Didn't know you were into IHC. Hard Bass and IHC would be interesting lol

[@GopnikHardbass]

I was into HC before Hardbass and i produce HC as my other alias but shhhh :)

[@slothnumber1257]

dayum, ask him for a collab. Would be interesting to see the result.

[@GopnikHardbass]

Nah i'm just a gopnik doing funny music, Ophidian is an artist. It would be bad on my side :D

All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate They only care if you can bleed Does the television make you feel the pills you ate?

Genres are just concepts of boundaries :(

[@sumosami]

well, this is good for the mood in home but not in the party :P

[@d.natrop4495]

If i had to put a label on it then i would label it as Ophidian or else Industrial Hardcore.

[@sumosami]

not idustrial. but anyway point is not that what genre it's represent but it's sounds good is enough for me :)

[@MegaSphere]

God damn. Out of everyone, you are the producer I idolise the most. I'm at a complete loss for words when it comes to saying how much I enjoy your music.

[@nielsbal7607]

MegaSphere i hear ya!

[@TraxtasyMedia]

MegaSphere I idolize him too, because the amount of work and effort he puts into his creations are huge and really outstanding. I wish to produce like him one day. It was him, who told the world, that Hardcore isn't just brutally distorts kickdrums and some 909 synthleads. He told the world, that you can be a producer with a master degree in classic music, but be a bit goth and industrial inspired with the attitude to create hardness by underlining tracks with a unique touch of a kick and a sound design, that results in a short movie with a huge story spoken in a few lines. That is what makes him adorable to me (no offense). It often Take a look at the main audiance of Hardcore nowadays: they only want to hear the hardest kicks, with the most bullshit concept to celebrate and besides that, many of these Gabbers nowadays don't even take the time to find out what art is. I think music is still art and nothing that you should capitalize and milk like a cowfarm. I mean it's even awful to read that an audience at a festival especially made for this music is booing and raging at him by throwing items, because these idiots haven't understood that Ophidian aka Meander is someone who invests blood and love in his songs. Oh... just to return to the comment: keep trying, never give up.

i get the same feeling with this track like the first time i heard butterfly, inception by sound, so many sacrifices.. tracks made from the heart by a genius. never stop making music!

What about Abandon? The Middle Children? The Rain? The Chosen? Pegasus? Lenny Dee - Forgotten Moments (Remix)Too many good tracks to list

true story....still unreached... ♥❤

[@crunk4124]

Pure Art right here, very Ophidian-flavored, Forgotten Moments quality of a track, You maintained your own style and kept it. This track right here is above everything I've heard in 2017

[@meertan]

i totally agree with you, Besides forgotten moments, it reminds me of So Many Sacrifices (which still is my favorite hardcore track ever)

[@crunk4124]

So Many Sacrifices is pure bomb

[@AweSomo84]

Butterfly is one hell of a track aswell , first ever ophidian track i listened and turned grey

[@SpainIsHardcore]

So Many Sacrifices, the best track for me, ever.

[@borisbanegas8277]

For me is Nightfall Angel alongside with Angel, Butterfly and the Void, but So Many Sacrifices and Fotgotten Moments are pretty close, Ophidian is a beast and I often come to listen to this track too, such a masterpiece!

[@darrenhunt9489]

After all these years this tune has more meaning than the Bible. It's my tune that i play at my lowest of low and it makes me realize you are the one the chosen one funk the world you can do this my friends. Love. Peace and ophidian crew,take control of your sheet and own it, you are who ever you want to be 🤟

[@teejay08]

you could try structures from silence by steve roach, recently a live version appeared. its what that song has ment to me. when NO music worked that still worked. it saved me from the quake soundtrack (NIN) its lighter, dreamsotz id call it

[@ikwilda]

I felt like running on empty so many times. This track came when I most needed it. I wanted to end it all. I am tearing up every time I hear this. I love how you found me several parties you played and talked to me afterwards. I don't want to be a groupie, but you always seemed to find me and have a talk. I'll forever be a big fan of yours. You saved my life 🙏

There we go again. It's 5:25am and i don't find any sleep. Like every night. So i come here, listen to this art and start crying again. Those are just some very hard times and i don't see any hope. I just dont understand why i am here. It seems so pointless. Ophidian, you're music is the only thing right now that keeps me fighting. So i just want to say thank you!

hecker Mate, when I wrote this track I was in a very difficult place. Remember that things are always changing. Now, it’s still not simple, but I know what I am working towards and what my reason is to try. I’m sure things will get better for you. Stick in there.

Thanks to being inspired by this awesome new track by Ophidian and the nice comment from 'Yesterday's History', I decided to do another Ophidian piano cover. It's up on KZbin as of now. Ophidian - Running On Empty (Piano cover by Ruben Scales).

Hardcore track of the year right here. Incredible work as always man!

[@Nietnoo]

Not even hardcore though.

[@Ares4]

Big Swac what is it called then?

[@Nietnoo]

Crossbreed or something like Hardtechno.

[@Ares4]

Everyone knows it's hardcore, don't be so salty

[@Kim-lj4ci]

Check your genres mate. Crossbreed is for the main part DnB infused industrial hardcore. Ophidian stated in interviews that he doesn't considers himself a crossbreed artist. He names his influences to be IDM and breakcore. This track shares some very heavy breakcore influences in the middle part and during the end

[@digita1ove]

Holy shit man, please never stop making such an effort!

[@jangxx]

I've listened to this song a gazillion times ever since it came out and only _now_ did i realize that the lyrics are completely taken from MCR - The Kids From Yesterday lol

[@tasak9920]

if that tune does not hit the top10 in MOH 2017 it will be a disaster. For me this tune is a tune of the decade, I just love every detail of it, just perfection! Ophidian you have reached the level I thought it was immposible to achived but you did it, for me it is the best track that I ever heard even better than Tha Playah's tunes (for me the best producer)! You did great job.

[@bmw_fantopdrives5501]

moh top is just Angerfist tracks and Bullshit, says nothing about Quality like this track

[@Axelade]

lmao a shitty Partyraiser track was #1. MOH Top 100 is trash.

[@corewarrior9678]

Por que ÉL crea con el corazón, y no pensando en el bolsillo o la fama. Esto es lo que diferencia a los mediocres de los genios. Como dijo un sabio y amigo mio... Ophidian no a vuelto, porque nunca se fue. Otra pieza épica para el legado.. y que lleguen muchas mas así!! Music ON = World OFF

[@juanmanovez291]

NexuS_02640 qué razón tienes, es único el maestro Ophidian, suerte tenemos de poder disfrutarlo!!!!

[@josetehardcore9958]

que razon amigo...yo me pongo malo con el hardcore actual..muchos bmp poca fuerza y lamentables melodias que no tienen alma..solo locura..y del u-tempo ni hablamos...en fin...larga vida a ophidian!!!

[@RevMartinez]

Nunca he entendido el odio al uptempo, realmente yo lo he disfrutado, pero bueno. Ophidian FTW

[@josetehardcore9958]

Every Night I Go To Bed And Think About Every Single Relationship That I've Fucked Up en mi opinión el u-tempo esta diseñado para desfasar en festivales que es la moda...el darkore de antes q tanto nos gustaba endymion nosferatu etc era más cañero q el u-tempo aunq fuera a menos bmp y más oscuro..pero como el u-tempo tiene esos bombos distorsionados parece la ostia pero suena igual todo...

[@SpainIsHardcore]

El uptempo se está cargando el Hardcore. :( Hablando de amigos, como dijo uno cuando fuimos a la MoH este año: Es una lástima, esto no la Masters of Hardcore, si no la Masters of Uptempo. El cierre, con Partyraiser, para mí, fue el peor cierre de todas las MoH

[@Megalodon1986]

In his own words: "My new track is out! Running On Empty is a track that sits somewhere between Abandon, The Rain, End The Earth II and Inception By Sound. So you could say, the tracks many of my closest followers like the most. In this one I was really focussing on the sound and atmosphere that I personally wanted to create, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Check it out and see if you agree!"

The mainstream gabber is partly ridiculous. We need several DJ such as you or still Embrionyc for example to bring a style with a real atmosphere, with a real work behind. Never stop the music. You're one of the most brilliant DJ in the hardcore scene. The new """"fan"""" of hardcore know nothing about the pure essence of hardcore. I think at MOH Top 100 which was pathetic !
