SCALE THE SUMMIT - "ATLAS NOVUS" Official Song Premiere

[@Zsazsa8484]

When I was going to school for jazz performance, a couple of my friends and I covered this song and I will never forget how amazing it was to play this live in front of my professors

[@JakeRosen635]

where did you study?9

[@anushgunner9164]

It's fretless bass right?

[@JakeRosen635]

@@anushgunner9164 nah, 6 string warwick im pretty sure

[@tomdevaney4563]

Nah 6 string Schecter I'm pretty sure. Mark talked about it on his bass channel. @@JakeRosen635

[@Moonglumzz]

Were you a Mean Green Eagle at UNT?....maybe you hailed from Berklee? Boston College of Music?

[@Patriarch.Chadimus]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[@liefclevenger5224]

a youtube love story, starring kaden richardson and metallicafan0503

[@JohnCrichton]

Kaden never responded. :(

[@stephenhensley7380]

Love comes and goes I guess :(

Instruments are coming full circle, Abandoning the ego of the individual. Please continue this.

[@nickhartman6372]

You put into words what I could not. What a beautiful concept! For the first time in awhile, I am excited for the future of music. Thank you for the fresh perspective.

[@robertmartinez2790]

Your right, no one person in the band is more important than the rest, they all need each other equally to come together and make beautiful music like this. Everyone, the listeners, the band members, everything only revolves around the music itself and the feelings it invokes

[@markhartfield3879]

Am fifty five now am so glad music moves in cycles its like being 17 all over again. Every day I hear another band that moves my music muscle.

[@grahammartin111]

Kinda like when i first discovered Yes (at 17), mind blown (expanded ?)

[@artborowiecki3965]

❤🙏🙏🤙🤘

[@QactisX]

Yeah the whole sentiment "All the good rap from the 90s is gone, all the good rock from the 70s is gone" is garbage. There's amazing music all throughout time, you just have to go find it! The people who throw shade and generalize are only ignorant

[@RicoLen1]

@@QactisX To be fair, it's pretty easy to get jaded like that when all you do is listen to the radio, and you heard great stuff back in the day but now it's no longer on the radio. I mean, of course you're right about having to just go look for it, but that can be tough at times when you really don't want to sift through the muck of a whole lot of bad stuff. Pandora seems to be the best at helping you find new stuff you'll like, at least IMO.

[@QactisX]

@@RicoLen1 I've found awesome music on KZbin, Spotify, and Apple Music as well. It can be found, but requires effort. No more effort than it took to find a record at the record store, or pay to see a show not knowing what to expect.

[@SamMeeDee]

damn that bass

[@natanaelah]

damn right it is

[@pinshigat0]

10 years later and still jam to this song almost daily. One of my all time favorite songs, love Scale the Summit.

[@RyanKaufman]

I just love how it's not entirely technical spit. "Here's my sweeps, here's my complex arpeggios, here's other bullshit" Yeah, it's hard to play, but it's not about difficulty. It's about the feeling it evokes, and STS has always been really good at this. Always a pleasure to listen to. Some of their earlier works can be a bit repetitive in terms of entire albums when you listen to the songs too much, but their newer stuff has been breaking that more and more, and I can't wait to see these guys continue growing.

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

That's the big difference between technical music and progressive music in my eyes.

[@CamerOneiric]

EpsilonX That makes no sense. "Technical" is applicable to any style.

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

What I mean is it takes more than just technical playing to make progressive music

[@OriginalWhiteTornado]

Cameron Hewett In prog metal, people say technical music to groups that focus really heavily on coming up with the most complicated and difficult thing they can. Check out Animals As Leaders for an example.

[@MultiCynicism]

I agree bro its not about making the fastest and hardest music to play, It's about making the most kick ass sounding music whether its technical or not.

[@alperdemiroglu5955]

2:57 - 3:24. It makes me sad every time. They are really technical and brilliant, but the melodies, music and feeling are there.

[@88and6]

2:57 - the end makes me feel things I haven't in a long time. I understand completely.

[@ryukan250]

Whatever the summit is, they reached it with this song. The songwriting, musicianship, production, band chemistry all came together to produce IMHO the best song to come out of the entire instrumental metal genre.

[@ETHANJAMESCOTE]

Heartbreaking. My ex committed suicide and this was our song. She loved this song and everytime I listen to it.... Smh. Life is so poignant.

[@NarutoUzumaki-kw8dm]

So we smoked up in the back of cultural building of the University in my city and when we were returning, I listened to the starting riff of this song. This was pure bliss. I followed the sound and found 4 guys practicing this in a room with their high-end gear. I couldn't help it so I went straight into the room, waited for them to finish and asked what the track was when they told me the name of the song. Man I've been hooked to this one since that time. I placed it in my best of the bests' hall of fame. This is beauty at it's finest levels man. Would really appreciate anyone if they recommended some more music like this or some another great song by the band as now I know what they're capable of. Peace ✌️🏻

[@iaroslavamos517]

Datebayo!!!

[@perfumeriamaria5583]

God is an astronaut

[@ZackInTechnicolor]

Spotify's "Discover Weekly" introduced me to Scale The Summit this week. I'm absolutely blown away by the beauty of the music performed in these pieces!

[@Bigtime1998]

+Zack Cochran I discovered them about a month ago and they're all I've listening to ever since!! Simply amazing music.

[@colemeyers9984]

Bigtime1998 about a week ago for me. They have a very similar sound to children of Nova which is another great band if you were in need of any suggestions.. This is a very peacefully brilliant song and thanks to Spotify it's now a song I'll be listening to from now on.

[@redhat7730]

Me too, I was uncovering others in this progressive field and somehow missed them until they dropped this track while I was playing an artist radio

[@caromamanmetal7869]

one of the best piece ever written...

[@Alran109]

I'm so in love with the bass guitar in this song.

[@pinshigat0]

I can't stop listening to this song! I love listening to this while driving on the road or walking. Really gives me this sense of adventure!

[@patman5659]

I love the harmonics, very beautiful!

[@rickgrimes5479]

i'd imagine it would be exhilarating snowboarding down a mountain while listening to this beautiful music.

[@TitanusMaximus]

Was definitely on my playlist for many ski seasons

[@micahbernard2532]

I fucking adore this song, this entire piece is a genuine masterpiece and the last minute of this song gives me a sense of pure bliss that is hard to find in any other song.

[@kunxv15]

the bass work in this is epic

[@IAMVICE]

Mark Michell is a genius, man. The bass chords beginning @3:23? I have no idea how the last half of the song is the 'least listened to' part here on KZbin, but that section is an absolute work of art on bass.

[@hannah999castillogamino7]

I jam this on my way to work and think about life....

[@LuxAeterna226]

Same.

[@hannah999castillogamino7]

yes! its magical :) ha ha glad im not the only one

[@Kendall_Miles]

me too!

[@boxyman6]

wow cool you think about life???

[@ctaylor9874]

Life music. It's so beautiful

[@joepalladino9257]

It is actually refreshing to hear the instruments sing instead of a person for a change

[@matenorth]

At my last moments,id like to listen to this song while slowly dying.

[@jesseludwig4883]

+Shane Saleker This guy gets it

[@griffadoresthepooper3316]

You can be even ressed by a song like that

[@evigklytteren]

Griffadores ThePooper Hope you "scale the summit", before you get ressed! One resonance, resonate in peace! :-)

[@phillipsartin1626]

One of the greatest bands to show the world an amazingly beautiful style of music

[@xGshikamaru]

WOW, the bass work on that is amazing and the EQ makes it not drown in the mix, the guitar parts are awesome as well, loved the way the delay were used.

[@PrimetimeOptimist]

The way music is suppose to sound; beautiful.

[@Kmaaq]

I feel like they did the album artwork through Spore.

[@bryancabrera2702]

Khalid AlQattan Nice Demon's Souls profile pic you have there friend.

[@VoidSurfacing]

What a beautiful song, this band is just pure gold

[@JaseRider]

Scale the summit, my favourite artists, your songs speak to my soul like no other artist on the planet! Eagerly anticipating your next album!

[@zacktaylor372]

My man killed it on the bass

[@ryanfatemi4723]

I've listened to many things: Death metal, black metal, heavy meal, jazz, classical, neoclassical etc. I must say that Scale the Summit has its own genre and that no other song within my musical knowledge is as both unique and coherently composed as this one.

[@WileyGuy]

***** lmfao xD "heavy meal"

[@boy6432]

You could say that about any Prog band

[@miguelfiero3677]

Check out these banda for similar sounds. And so I watch you from afar. Giraffes?Giraffes! Don Cabellaro.

[@richardbutkis]

You don't listen to prog then. Because shit like this is everywhere in the genre. Oh they're prog, BTW. That's their genre. It's not their own.

[@VorticyHP]

oh man... i was in such a better state in life back when i first discovered this song...

[@Ryanopuffs]

When I heard Chris play that riff in a studio update, I literally fell in love with the song before I even heard the whole thing. Now that I have, no disappointment. I felt like a little kid when i saw this song posted haha

[@acrophis]

Loving the bass production here.

[@jx915]

just discovered this band a few days ago… fucking love it. this song put me in like a meditative state… it was awesome lol

[@codystephenson9752]

This is seriously outstanding.

[@MOLONCHELO]

This album/Band speaks to me on a spiritual level

[@DogeDelecto]

Reminds me of " The Great Plains" which is my favorite Scale The Summit song...thank you for sharing this with us guys.

[@SloppyCat79]

In the words of Misha Mansoor: this music is beautiful.

[@brycenhcox]

This is still one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.. This and the levitated

[@tomas42917]

*Listening to the intro* I fell in love right away you have no idea!!!!! Scale The Summit always has and always will be one of my favorites!!!

[@fucktheshit1985]

I listened to Monument and The Collective while tripping face. It was absolutely amazing my friend and I had trouble finding our minds afterwards. I most definitely recommend it!

[@jamescarangelo8635]

Bass player is no joke !!!!!!!!! Wow

[@scottmcfadyen293]

I saw you guys opening for Cynic in Montreal. i became a fan that very night. The Migration hadn't come out t that time so i got the latest one at the time which is The Collective. my brother who came to the show eventually got The Migration and it is the best i have heard of your music. I will see about getting a copy of it.

[@aPOTg]

yea, I mean everyone knows scale the summit has amazing guitar players, but im always impressed by their bassist and drummer as much as the guitar players

[@Platifiy]

The number of views on this is saddening but then again this music is not for everybody, only those smart enough to comprehend the complexity in this will appreciate it. So be glad you are one of those few.

[@MicahChaney]

Mark is making an amazing footprint on these new songs! Such good note choices. Pat is killer on the drums, but that's normal. He's a phenomenal player. Chris and Travis are impressively melodic as always. I'm so glad I pre ordered this CD!

[@steivanjohnson6101]

Saw them live, Amazing.

[@senalirving]

This music gives my ears meaning for its existence. It has that chill factor that one needs in life to think of the positive things. Very excited for your new album!

[@MrAlepedroza]

Sounds like Coldplay on Roids. Who would have said metal would be able to be relaxing and atmospheric 30 years ago? Awesome.

[@affemitwaffedxc]

so glad i checked these guys, guess I have to buy this record.. and all their other records. Absolutly awesome, beautiful song.

[@leftyshredder9289]

Transition at 1:43 into that beautiful section is so awesome.

[@Feromonzenekar]

no words for the basslines

[@chrissg18]

Since when Tosin Abasi plays in Explosions in the sky?

[@EvanHartenburg]

Lol that is actually a pretty good description

[@stevensanguine3536]

Makes sense considering that StS and EITS are both from Texas.

[@raphael_h97]

Best evidence, that you can still find good music today. You just have to look for it! :)

[@EthosMediaChannel]

Just wanted to say that I discovered this song a few months ago and am glad I did. Absolute masterpiece!

[@HowNowCentaur]

I just love how this tune really fits with their name. When I went up a big hillock in the Lake District last week, I couldn't get this tune out my head. It's just annoying I haven't bought the album yet!

[@zivshechtman3328]

This band has evolved wonderfully, really digging this sound. cheers from Israel!

[@farz.2524]

i feel some buckethead influences. Great stuff

[@tommyshankz]

+ezra moon its just standard math rock dude

[@ryanquick1956]

+yay rice nope

[@SirusX1]

+yay rice The fuck is math rock? I've been hearing that term a lot and it sounds really fucking dumb. Instrumental rock is always what comes to mind.. not math rock.

[@KoenZyxYssel]

+iTz Zachu24 lmgtfy.com/?q=math+rock

[@mattmakescovers]

+Sirus Math literally just means technical.

[@ryanfatemi6776]

Sooo original! Ive definitely gotta check this band out some more!!!!

[@Vondogable]

Not only am I thrilled to be listening to their new material, but it's just so GOOD. Also, whomever the artist is behind the visuals, did a really stunning job. So in tune with what i'm listening to.

[@faizahvampiresquid2921]

gorgeous album with gorgeous album art

[@edensmoma]

Currently obsessed with this song.

[@natesmusicminute]

That ending delay part makes me cry every time.

[@gordwcummings]

Fantastic. Enjoyed discovering you in Calgary a couple of years ago. Still digging your music and this new one is excellent.

[@damnthesystem]

Wow...you guys change so drastically with every album and yet never fail to inspire each time. Bravo.

[@transcendthestars137]

I almost learned this song on bass! What a challenge but so worth it.

[@AbsentProductions]

Absolutely beautiful. Love the melodies, the taps, the emotion.. StS just get better with every record!

[@MichaelGhelfiStudios]

When I hear this, I want to quit Post-Rock and orchestral music to compose math-rock/progressive metal. But I wouldn't even be 10% as good as they are :P Long live Scale The Summit, so unique and powerful. You didn't betray us at all with this album, you have perfected the genre.

[@Will057]

If you like the band, buy their cd and like their page on facebook! They are amazing live!

[@jayinwizzy]

Just when I thought "The Levitated" was untouchable.. they do it again...these guys are doing all the right things, keep it up!! These songs make me feel like I can do anything! Motivation and inspiration when I hear these songs. Thank You STS.

[@ivanoder8255]

They always have such good album covers!!

[@seafood_cherry]

I cannot believe some people! How can anyone with ears dislike this song... oh, wait.

[@kiwimetal101]

Sweet baby jesus... This is Beautiful!!

[@malikmobley6877]

Beautiful track, beautiful album artwork. I could listen to this for hours

[@jasonporter6407]

Amazing sound

[@ThomasPoulin]

Man, I recall seeing these guys a few years back with Cynic and 3. Easily the best night of my life. I went for Cynic and came out a huge fan of 3 and these guys!

[@equiusoceano8493]

That sounds like a gangster lineup

[@davidellulthorn1]

the artwork is absolutely majestic. I like it a lot.

[@skilldren]

This is beautiful...been on repeat all day

[@DavidBolek]

What a peace! This really soothes me

[@daylepage92]

Beautiful, no other word to describe this.

[@BattleStarNerdactia]

It's quite amazing how a song with no lyrics can make me feel so existential

[@feral7094]

I really miss Mark being in this band but I do love his youtube channel low end university. Such a great album to play along too

[@BoynaoSou]

Came to work this morning and this is the first thing I discovered. Gonna be a good day!

[@jackieeethepwner]

WOW THEY SHOULD PLAY THIS ON TOUR

[@khavens101]

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS YET.

[@khavens101]

Loved Carving Desert Canyons. The Collective was not my favorite. But this song makes me *need* to listen to The Migration.

[@THEZYGOMADISPOSAL]

the artwork is just lovely

[@WraithsExistence]

I try working out to this song but its just too relaxing. luv this song doh. I listen to it after I'm done working out.

[@WhirlingSteel]

The intro lick is just so insane.

[@666inches]

there is no band like scale the summit they are masters of their instruments

[@andrewnussear3192]

Going out on a limb here... Sounds like a combination of Circa Survive, Dance Gavin Dance, This Town Needs Guns, and Animals as Leaders. All great band IMO

[@cameatsdjent]

I see too many negative comments when it comes to seeing talent better than their own, though i understand, you should be INSPIRED! This should excite you in ways you've never felt before to be better than Chris and Travis!

[@adampierce9403]

every time i listen to this song i find it just as amazing as i did the first time. love the bass!

[@maxx666mayhem]

wonderful love it

[@keepfaithful]

Too good I cant hwlp ot rock tjoa world

[@octavarium008]

The ending has that post-rock, Explosions in the Sky vibe, or at least that's what it kind of reminds me of, and I LOVE IT!!!

[@gievfowler6430]

This is unbelievably good. I could zone out to this for hours.

[@ryansoul7328]

Beautiful. Angelic. Godly. Perfection.

[@NickTodd420]

Most brilliantly written song EVER! I love this shit!!!

[@Purjoloek]

Beautiful song. Will 100% pick up the CD.

[@ChromX5]

It's so beautiful!
