Primordial - How It Ends (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Buy here: www.metalblade.com/primordial
Drawing lyrical influence both from modern and historical ideas, Nemtheanga always gives the listener something to think about. The title track continues the themes that have always been a part of PRIMORDIAL, looking at “the life cycle of people, of nations, of languages, songs, myths and tradition. This song, as much of the album, asks the question, ‘do you have the stomach for the fight? The guts to stand against the crowd? To rebel, to dissent, to stand up to authoritarianism?’”
“The title is a question - is this how it ends? How it all goes down: culture, language, history, society - humanity - who knows?,” says vocalist A. A. Nemtheanga. “Regardless of who you are or were, you get one chance at all of this, and it’s asking is this the end of your town, state, nation? Myths, traditions, relationships, and I suppose it asks the question, who reacts, who rebels - how does it end now for them?”
Working alongside founding members Pól MacAmlaigh (bass) and Ciáran MacUilliam (guitar) and longtime drummer Simon O’Laoghaire, the band started writing in earnest in the Fall of 2022, having lit a fire under themselves to work hastily and productively. PRIMORDIAL never plans out a record beforehand, letting them come together naturally, though Nemtheanga knew he wanted something with a bigger, more open sound, and something more aggressive, which is exactly what they achieved. “How It Ends is a very angry, defiant, visceral, and rebellious album, and as we worked it all began to take more shape and form itself. It may be the note we go out on but it will be a note of resistance, in musical terms. I think it’s also more metal! And more epic!”
"How It Ends" was tracked at Hellfire Studios on the outskirts of Dublin, produced by the band and engineered by previous collaborator Chris Fielding.

I saw you guys in Trix Antwerp. You were amazing ! Even a bigger fan since then !

[@Kuudza]

One day a dark streak came in my life, long and painful. In a short period of time I lost everything, lost my home, my job, my family, my friends, everything that was dear to me. And during this period I discovered “Primordial”, I am grateful to you for helping me live and move on, become stronger and not fall into the abyss of despair. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@curiosityrevived5550]

Is this how it ends? Until only one song remains Is this how language dies? One tongue at a time Is this the noose? Waiting at the gallows end Necks will crack To the anthem of this world Is this how it ends? No more myths To hand from word to mouth Is this how it ends? No protest songs No voices in dissent How did you feel When they When they called your name? And you stood in line For the For the last time Only one song remains And the words are the same The anthem of this modern world See this world go up in flames See this world go up in flames Could it be the final Chapter Before they burn the books? As we pass into The long night Long night of the soul Is this how it ends? Until only one song remains Who dares To sing Out of tune And rewrite the refrain And live out of time We must sing The song of these people It's of A deep Unyielding pain And we Must sing Sing our pain Of pain Of pain We Must sing

Best live band i have ever seen always amazing the band are so tight and Alan is one of the best if not the best front men out there. Goosebumps from the moment they step foot on the stage until the walk off again the absolute best. Hails from Ireland.

Fantastic opener. Really sets the tone for the album.

[@matthewpoburyny5147]

The album is phenomenal, just breathtaking, but the drumming really stood out to me on this record, some interesting and unique drum parts like the beginning of this song.

[@Ashaliel]

holy shit, soon as the drums kicked in the first time, i am agreeing. and i had no idea they had another album out. damnit.

[@matthewpoburyny5147]

@@matthewpoburyny5147 you better believe that's what im doin' now! lol

[@Anttimation]

I think it's inspired by (Irish) folk music and the rhythm of that handheld drum played with a two-headed stick. As is often the case with Primordial drums.

[@Fo-Flats]

Please make it to the states, perhaphs next year and come through the south. You are beloved and well met here. Been with you since day one of Imrama. Cheers!

[@lux5891]

This is outstanding. Speaks properly to the isolation and loss of faith in nearly anything that presents itself in the modern world. The struggle seems to be that our ordinary identities are based on social bonds. In the modern world, individual humans tend to be profoundly distracted, from one's own sentience and the perspectives of others. Thus, everyone ends up alone, without history. In the Pali Buddhist context, glimpsing an end (when there's been not much more than enduring suffering and disenchantment with human limitations) may offer an opportunity for heightened consciousness, leading with training to freedom of mind. Story here, anyway.

[@deceitdeceitdeceit]

Havent read the lyrics, but i think this song is about a man dissapointed in the western world of today

[@krisdaschwab912]

I don't see it as specifically being about the West. Just general disillusionment and cynicism.

[@LaughingMan44]

The song isn't about one man being "disappointed" in the "western world of today". The song is about the end of western civilization, of European traditions, history, language, myth and most importantly its people. It's about the pure fucking grief of it, how most do not stand up against it, and those that do are silenced. The most tragic thing of all is how most aren't even fucking aware of it, or outright deny it.
