Persefone - Consciousness (Pt.1 & Pt. 2)

[@MusicWeaponsFood]

This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever compiled. And there should really be an emphasis on 'music' because you just don't see anyone trying to create music masterpieces anymore. You could write a catchy chorus and make millions, or you could write something as beautiful as this and really achieve a sense of accomplishment. Forget what genre of music you hail allegiance to and support musical genius when you see it.

No negative comments about this song so here's one: this song is too damn short!

[@mmmaaadddkkkk]

another would be the short dynamic range of the recording

[@ZeldaFanZordecai]

@@mmmaaadddkkkk Elaborate?

[@bosh6604]

@@ZeldaFanZordecai I think he means that the Guitar sound is too flat and there is only little pogression in a single note, but in my opinion it makes it sound way more "dreamy", something that i really like about this song!

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

[@sunmoonstars2228]

I was searching for the myth about Persephone going to the underworld, so I came on this channel by accident. I guess this is faith. So can anyone understand that I am confused because I didn't expect that this exists? I simply bow to the brilliant creators of this masterpiece.

[@strummingpotatoe]

Omg I didn't have such a powerful eargasm since Ne Obliviscaris an Opeth, and god knows how much I love these bands.

[@pradiptanugraha4828]

+strummingpotatoe me too.. I feel like everytime I listen to this album I really want to be a drummer , bcause the drumming really have amazing beat and power and it feels like ready to mosh and bang!!

[@SadisticKillerXx]

[@JesusWasAPunk31]

+strummingpotatoe Ne Obliviscaris and Persefone ftw, greatest recent progressive metal bands.

[@dante666jt]

I always felt the rising vibes of Forget Me Not(Portal Of I) extends its roots into this song. Perfect.

[@yurikrupin6907]

Opeth? What album exactly can you recommend

[@andrewdunleavy3026]

This is the most incredible instrumental I've ever heard in my life. This album will forever be one of the pillars of melodic death metal in my mind.

[@andrewdunleavy3026]

I refuse to get involved in arguments about bands' (sub)genres. It,s progressive and it's melodic death metal. Split all the hairs you want quantifying the degrees of each; I don't see the point.

[@AtticsTV]

right. Its like a melodic death metal song can't have a progressive song structure, or progressive songs cant have melodic death influences or anyhting. The metal community is ridiculous with classification.

[@luisguillermocarranza2764]

I'm not disagreeing with you on the melodic death metal as a whole of the album but this song(s) in particular have a more progressive aura to it. Btw not fighting.

[@edwardzita3479]

Guys come on... 6:40 What the hell is this? No human can possibly compose this, i can't even properly describe the emotions i get listening to that part... Seriously it's ridiculously good

[@AgeofDoom]

Influences from Orion. Very nice piece!

[@MarkusSsZ]

Best instrumental ever written.

[@igornaimoli7321]

this is what humans live for. Make art and live art. This is an outstanding masterpiece

[@JouniK86]

I could listen the portion between 6:39 and 8:09 on repeat until the day I die. As beautiful as metal music can get.

[@diegoswine9684]

...and why not the piano part?

[@JouniK86]

Diego Swine Because the climax is the beautiful chord progression that is played repeatedly and with almost infinite variance, soloed over by drums and guitars before laid to rest with the concluding three piano chords. Insane musical imagery and tonal symbolic captured with such perfection that most of us composers can only dream about. The following part is the only thing that feels out of place in this song: a sort of transition to the second song instead of an integral part of this composition. The feel, the aesthetics and the pace just feels out of place here.

[@JouniK86]

Jouni Koskela Or alternatively, because the track is titled "A Path to Enlightenment", maybe that final keyboard passage serves as the imagery of reaching that enlightenment upon completing "the path". In terms of emotional charge, it works.

[@Bolthorn86]

Damn, i' m not the only one then, every time i listen this (incredibly beautiful) piece of art and the track is finished, i get back to this part at least 3-4 times!

[@phantasmal914]

if u liked this, go ahead and listen to Painters of the Tempest by Ne Obliviscaris, the ending is just breathtaking.

[@iraqifoodcart8447]

persefone has to be the single greatest progressive melodic death metal band in existence.

[@michabajon3130]

Try out Wintersun, if you dont know them.They are both with Persefone the top level of metal in my opinion, and i don't know a third band that could be compared to them

easily the best two songs on the album, or should i say the most amazing, because all are the best :D seriously though, this is pure skill of songwriting (even though i think it gets a BIT too much of sweeping sometimes) combined with crystal clear production.

Psh. This amount of sweeping feels like summer vacation compared to Ne Obliviscaris. That's arpeggios and blast beats galore. Def too much for me. Decent music regardless though

[@curiousfiend1169]

🤔Bit off topic, but wonder if consciousness is beyond experience, or if it's another aspect manifesting within experience experiencing subjective experience.

[@dreammaniac]

Consciousness is everything. All that you perceive, all that you think and feel is because you are conscious of it. If there is no consciousness there is nothing. Further too, you are not your body, your mind or whoever you think you are. Even that is perceived by the consciousness that you really are. The same consciousness I am. That's why all true religions say that all is one. For a good intro to this way of looking at life (the correct/true one I must, impopularly, say), read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Available for free as a pdf on google if you cant pay for it. 😊
