Savant - ZION - Mecca

[@AlloY777]

the way this man mixes sirens and star wars blaster sound effects at 2:34 is insane. Love this!!

[@Zavaki]

Never gonna forget my time with this one. It opened a portal for my soul

[@KingStep]

I'm proud to be a norwegian now. Savant is keeping the EDM alive!

[@zachb7532]

=D KING!!!!!!

This is IDM ! the real Intelligent Dance Music

[@leiwei1561]

All Norwegians are awesome!!!

[@deathjudge100]

Nymer Its ISM! Intelligent Savant music :D

[@GamerskiVlogovi]

The drop is like it isn't there, but still you can feel it in your bones... dayum!

[@Drew_42]

+Kilo There's like three different drops dude! Absolutely incredible :D

[@SavantAudiosurf]

More like one of the best drops of all time.

[@maxfactor35]

there is a drop, its just to good, that u dont know when it will happen, u just enrage and set the floor on fire. masterpiece. still love it after years. PS: check my "liked playlist" there is a lot of stuff. a lot of ^^ and there is still a lot out there waiting to find it :D

[@exitspree]

THIS IS SOOOOO INSANE!!!! Dude, Aleksander, you are a prodigy of our times. Thanks for making the world a better place with your music.

[@AlexCRT]

Mecca is one of the best songs i've ever heard of Savant

[@billyte1265]

That drop and beat thereafter is incredible. Could be one of the heaviest things i've ever heard, all without being traumatizing. Savant's incredible!

[@willinance]

I totally love the Bulgarian part, and it's a bit sad that it's only at the beginning. How about an album or a couple of songs that are totally inspired by Bulgarian folk music? I'd love to hear that. (; Savant, thanks for your greatness.

[@monkeypoo2]

Yes!

[@PMarsh-sl]

Oh cool! How do you know it was bulgarian?

[@GrymShip]

Can't stop replaying this song.

[@Kdhdhrvt]

Same here

[@jyeidem]

skrillex are you ?

[@GrymShip]

Juan Nina P. Yes. I'm Skrillex.

[@nPFD92]

I love the blues and funky drum and bass in background, very unusual for this kind of music. In my opinion Zion, Jester and Vybz aged very well

[@cheflynch9589]

This song is so amazing it's like angels are singing to me.

[@brentmeske2987]

This is a gorgeous song, with layers of meaning like a good painting or a poem. Even without knowing the various languages it's beautiful. And I'm pretty sure there are TIE fighter blaster sounds in here, which is incredible.

[@r0d014]

Jesus fucking christ Aleksander just doesn't seem to run out of the creative juice!! I think I should let everyone know that I pretty much started a cult that adores Savant... don't worry there are no blood pacts nor any creepy stuff like that involved

[@aerrowqueing]

Waitee Games What is MSS ?

[@christianlee2051]

Does that mean that we should stop the ritual sacrifice... cause our cult got really in to that really fast...

[@Owlero]

Waitee Games that's a bit misleading. He said in an interview that he's completed over 10,000 songs in his lifetime, not just 2012.

[@Ruler20000]

Man, he IS creative juice.

[@lordrisay]

Aww, and i was ready with my ritual knife, and bowl, as well as the after ritual orgy.

[@YouriCastro]

I'm still listening to this masterpiece, and I'm actually listening to it while... headbanging harder than ever.

[@tommyrenault705]

Génial, magnifique, merveilleux !!

[@t_DriftKing]

This is my favorite song from the album, the sound is rich and the melody is exotic.

[@davidgolpashin76]

People live their lives looking for reasons to be offended. That will never change. For the rest of us, enjoy Savant's masterful melodies. This song is one of my favs.

[@hushedaunt]

I'm a muslim and I first saw the title, I was just like "Oh ok." I like the song and I don't know why it is offensive to several muslims. I was kinda proud that our religion sacred city became a title to this song. A damn good song that is. Mecca is a place. A holy place but a PLACE.

[@Zixywastaken]

A very mature response! Aleksander means no harm in his titling, he merely used arabic themes in both his music and naming because he's fascinated by the music

[@blacktrigger9793]

As a muslim... I definitely agree with you... I mean is not directly offending our religion nor the place and that drop is dope xD

[@ashram7936]

im an ex muslim and i totally respect your point of view ,, mature and elegant

[@S4NSE]

I wasn't even thinking of it as an insult as unbiased person.. also I don't like the song anymore, but I still don't see it as an insult to this place, I like the word Mecca.. maybe I'm still biased

[@Joypadrick]

I'm an "ex" Christ, and I love the comments here. Alex music is doing what music should do, bringing the people together. Peace, Love and Unity😍

[@LouFerrigno]

bass sound is sick, and the production sound globaly great, more deep. Love the progression of the track, too. One of your best and accessible work, obviously. congrat'

[@drawnsequence]

My neck was twisting so much to this, I unscrewed my head from my shoulders. Savant exceeds.

[@FiniteCS]

This is some really amazing Glitch Hop! Savant really knows how to make he best of his abilities with these unique songs!

[@rangerkasdorf4476]

Savant is beyond your pithy genres.

[@askus9319]

Ranger Kasdorf But if this song had a "pithy genre" is Glitch Hop.

[@WobblyBits_X]

still 2 weeks damnit, its just too long to wait after hearing this

[@alecchapman7976]

I'm a Mormon and i don't care that the entire album is called Zion.

[@navoonraj]

good job, keep it up

[@johnsmokin]

well you should! it's disrespectful to our holy land to conflate Zion with mecca /s

[@nathandeoliveira9780]

His music is good, and mostly clean. If the gospel standards allow you to listen them, that's what matters

[@cizd]

@@johnsmokin Might air ships and a guy with a guy fawkes esqu mask walking on floating platforms be inaccurate as well or is that true to life? Just let pog sounds enter your ears.

[@oren1305]

@@johnsmokin The sooner petty differences can be set aside for the common good, the better. Aren't we all God's children anyway?

[@MAMAsb0y]

The beginning is sooo good.

[@Anonymous205080]

This is one of one of my favorite songs produced by Savant. I always like it when middle eastern words get put into edm as long as it's coupled with an amazing drop like this one. Love it.

[@KrossH_Chile]

me trae nostalgia ver/escuchar este video, porque fue el primero de todos del album que savant subió, aún así me trae recuerdo que unas semanas antes de lanzar oficialmente el album le pasó un percance a aleks xD nose que piensan pero me trajo algo de risas

[@fermartinoli6349]

este fue el primer álbum de Savant que esperé su salida, y si bien en su momento amé Mecca y Apocalypse, hoy es en mi álbum favorito de él. La estética, la continuidad conceptual y temática entre todo el álbum, la masterización de las canciones que suenan impecables y por supuesto las canciones, todas, con el tiempo me fui haciendo a ellas y ahora no puedo dejar de adorarlas.

[@TotallyToastMC]

At around 3:17 there are these nice plucks in the background, they kind of remind me of the beginning of Clint Eastwood. I just love those little details Savant puts into his tracks.

[@Pir0skY]

AWAKEN MY MASTERS!

[@aerimage8863]

Im still listening to this masterpiece and is actually listening to it while playing CODM

[@gharstlyoh2413]

👌

[@fuhyo]

Una nueva obra de arte. Es insuperable la música que hace este hombre. Un saludo desde España ;D

[@DaftPunkFan43v3r]

Créeme que hay mejores productores que Savant (sin quitarle crédito a lo que Aleksander hace, me gusta mucho su música en verdad aunque al menos lo que he escuchado de éste álbum no me ha gustado tanto que digamos, pero trabajos de él bajo otros alias como Datakrash y Vinter In Hollywood son para mí sus mejores trabajos); sólo tienes que buscar en el Internet. Hay muchos productores menos conocidos que él y que hacen música (desde el punto de vista teórico) por lejos superior a la suya con combinaciones de estilos aún más futuristas, complejos, e innovadores que los de Aleksander, pero bueno; es la opinión de cada uno. :)

[@fuhyo]

Realmente me parecen obras de arte todas la canciones que hace y hay que reconocer que su juego de PC es una maravilla. Me gusta como opinas. Un saludo ;D

[@DaftPunkFan43v3r]

Gracias, eres de las pocas personas que he encontrado por el Internet que no se ''irrita'' por la opinión diferente de otro, y sí; su juego de PC es muy genial. Un saludo igualmente para ti. :)

[@bioxtrem]

Totalmente de acuerdo, de hecho, para mi gusto, con este trabajo se ha superado con creces. El álbum, pese a ser muy distinto, me recuerda mucho a ISM, que suena mucho a videojuegos antiguos (sea con sonidos de éstos, o sin ellos pero con melodías que los recuerdan) pero sin ser empalagoso. Orakel, Cult y Protos me gustaron menos infinitamente que esto. Pero aun con eso, cada canción que hace es una obra de arte, totalmente de acuerdo.

[@Low_Death_]

Fuhyo ッ me gusta mucho savant ya que en mi opinión su musica es diferente y nunca consigo encajarla con un genero en específico del EDM

[@youhoney1989]

This track made me see sounds... all these shapes im seeing... FANTASTIC!

[@youhoney1989]

No. Savant brain is awesome :D

[@Vindbringer]

Konge sang, en av mine favorittlåter for tidene og uten tvil en av de råeste sangene du har produsert. Keep it up!

[@TheBosscakes]

the rawness of the synth is growing on me

[@TheSpiderDungeon]

"I have no idea what he's saying :)" *bass drop* "HOLY SWEET CHERRY PIE THAT IS INTENSE"

Early Christmas present, this has made my day!

[@axelllopez1319]

The Best Of The Best, Savant, you are especial!!!

[@ThunderingTwelfth]

Not gonna lie, I got the notification for this upload and I was hoping it would be the Kali 47 music video. But I can't say I'm disappointed with what I got. Great work, Savant, as always.

[@07cowboyfan]

God damn the bass during the vocals is awesome!

[@07cowboyfan]

+DerpynessWhale actually, the bass in general is awesome!

[@TheSonic10160]

[@adlerblack.]

That's some heavy shit right there. Really interested to see how this album turns out. Very nice, Vinter!

[@MangoX91]

goosebumps man.... those goosebumps ,amazing tune!

[@todaywiththeCJB]

Sickkk! 2 Amazing releases today - this and Jurassic World Trailer!!!

[@manganistDIMITRI]

Well, the drop is even more raw than it can get. It's heavy alright. And I'm still wondering how Vinter managed to sing this foreign language. Arabian I think, not sure.

[@MrSokoviruva]

Actually its Qwentalis who sings. Also the language is supposed to be a mix of arabian and hebrew.

[@manganistDIMITRI]

Qwentalis? Well, the more you know... And mixing 2 languages into a song... That's also a clever idea I must say.

[@MrSokoviruva]

Matta N He gave him credit in a deleted EDM video. The first release "if u" like his page on facebook.

[@Samsamilesgaa]

It's Qwentalis singing. But just wait, Aleks sings in the Zion title track

[@blastmybrainoff]

Ryūko

[@sozo_jamma1593]

[@cullysloy2705]

Sneaky drop :D mr. Vinter you make the world a better place.

[@SlendySniper]

Amazing again, I can't wait for the day when I see you live :)

[@yamaaaslamy1771]

In the beginning it was all trance like then at 1:55 it went bat shit FUCKING INSANE!! That might have been one of the best drops I've because it was still hard hitting even though their was an unnoticeable lead up. GOD DAMMIT ALEKSANDER YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN.

[@Toresdale]

I think I just... I just... Damn. I really don't know what to make of this. It's that fucking good.

[@crabsnack8365]

I like to imagine an epic battle with this song.

[@raishitsuwabuki6715]

Zion is gonna be nothing but euphoria.

[@refaiii]

Hehe tbh this isn't even 1% Arabic. The words don't make sense at all XD.And btw I am so fucking happy that such an amazing godlike artist is using one of our holy cities :P

[@PopCar]

saad refai heh... yeah... When i told my friend zion is making an arabic themed album, he heard this song and told me: WHERE'S DA ARABIC!?

[@DolGenCorp]

Ahmed Nassef Zion didn't make an arabic themed album, SAVANT made an album called zion...god fucking damnit

This plus becomming insane-Infected mushroom are dope!

[@Thebrownguy98]

lol i bet Vinter just name it Mecca to see how butthurt people would get. Im Muslim and I honestly think its hilarious XD.

[@kaded_]

Its because the album is middle-eastern themed.

[@Thebrownguy98]

zimzameef LOL THAT TOO XD. Im stupid :3

[@TheOfficalAndI]

Faraaz Nadeem I doubt it's in his interest to make people butthurt on purpose. He just named it like that because he wanted to.

I love this song. The middle eastern vibe was something i was looking for in a song for so long. Ever since hearing a clip of this in the teaser, i was sure this was going to be one of my favorites. However, the song being so aggressive was a let down. TLDR Thanks for being original. You're doing amazing.

[@Gryfenflash]

Excited for the 12 :D But i wanted more Protos things, but anyway, Zion looks pretty awesome
