SKYND seriously deserves more recognition for their music and art. Everything they do is incredible!

[@filmnmusic1]

Agreed. I am mostly into bands that started during the 90’s, but SKYND is the best recent artist I have come across. Her music is dark, but it’s not just dark for the sake of being dark like some other bands. I think it’s noble for her to expose the insanity and depravity that mankind is capable of, because too many people have a naive, child like understanding of the world.

[@krisstopher8259]

i've seen skynd TWICE. great show!

[@defiJohn]

I don't know... I saw them live in London last year and I swear that they were a bigger hit than the main headline. SKYND is recognised.

[@dog1331]

You tried way too hard to include the "they" pronoun.

[@cheetahtfk7274]

@dog1331 get over yourself. I'm using "they" to define the band, not just the singer. Meaning, the singer AND Father. Plural. They.

[@thomasmiller8147]

One of my BIGGEST joys in life: seeing new Skynd artwork. Wait, not just artwork. Masterpieces.

[@Dlnqntt]

Oh! I love this description of Skynd as art and not just music! Perfect!

[@Skinnamarink.]

you are correct to call it "art" and "masterpiece" and also correct for not including the word "music" as its only technically music.

[@keirfarnum6811]

I like that they don’t glorify the subjects they sing about and make it “cool.” They’re more cautionary tales.

[@kovi-kovi-viko]

​@@keirfarnum6811 The irony is that while Skynd doesn't glorify said topics, some people in the comments section at every song Skynd posted glorify hiding the truth under the veneer of "because it's disrespectful to make profit off of something." The people glorify ignorance and moral grandstanding so they can go about their jolly lives completely oblivious to the dangers Skynd has been portraying in their music - that the biggest danger of them all is ourselves. In this case, the blind lead the blind unto the chaos and will continue to do so under the pretense of "not following the crowd", while the rest of us that understand why Skynd still makes money while showing respect to the source material continue to learn more and enjoy the music for what it is and what it's saying.

[@Skynd303]

Do it now do it quick!...... Awesome

[@ladyacid654]

I've long wondered how Skynd would handle such a topic and group of people, especially as Heaven's Gate is perceived as one of the more (if not the most) sympathetic cults to come out of that era. I love how the 80's touches aren't too heavy handed, given how easy it would be to use as a musical crutch. Father is so great at balancing sounds. This sounds (and looks) like a blend of Michelle Carter and Jim Jones, which is a very interesting and rather apt direction to take. I don't think the vocals are quite as catchy as the previous songs, but there is a chilling impact in this one that I don't think I've heard for a while.

[@TheHookBoy]

I love it when you remove all the distortion effects on your voice and let us just hear you.

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

... And I don't think any if us are asking for the distortion to go, we just LOVE the mix of so many incredible elements that Skynd can bring! All of it is excellent!

@@IllustriousCrocoduck You got it…unlike the dolt below you.

[@TheHookBoy]

@@LibrariansWife How am I missing the point? Please show me where I said I didn’t like the distortion. All I said was I love her natural voice.

[@-Zer0Dark-]

Ah, you've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders. NEVER voice anything but absolute admiration for an aspect of a song or band. The fanatics will immediately try to correct you--sometimes gently (first response), and sometimes harshly (second response). Personally I don't like the lower distortion in the vocals. Gotta go. Otherwise, her voice is gorgeous. We need another "Richard Ramirez" or "Katherine Knight."

[@CultOfDraven]

SKYND have mastered the essence of the "Unsettling". What a band, what a track, what a production, what a vocalist! All I love about music embodied in one track!!!

[@lyvsix]

Right? The chorus sounds better or am I just so excited im going crazy? My speaker had its own orgasm lol

[@YoullClapWhenImGone]

Do you mean there was another version/mix of the song and it's been reworked or that it's just in a higher quality here? Sorry if I'm being dumb and misunderstood your comment, haven't used Spotify in around 8 years so I'm a bit out the loop with regards to that app.

[@user-so7nw8nk6k]

@@YoullClapWhenImGone oh no worries! Song suddenly appeared on Spotify for a week (or two) ago, and I found it strange because usually they release song simultaneously with video. So, I guess, there was a little oopsy situation from Skynd where they accidentally uploaded song earlier. It was not much different from what I hear here. Maybe you're right and now it really just in a higher quality. But I think arrangement here sounds a little better, a deeper even, like it's been reworked. I’m not a music expert, so I can be wrong with terms :D

[@thedailyderek]

Maybe the most HAUNTING video you've ever made. I like the use of the sheets. The fact that you show the victims...which they were....as victims is key. Your pale face rather than make up is showing the poison, nice choice. Everything about this video is beautiful. The male / alien voice is what caught me as they were very "scientology" esk....and that's all very male control oriented. Just a great job. I love you both so much.

The end is so poignant. It's the metaphorical display of them writhing on the floor for the person towering over them as an idol ultimately only for him to fall back and reveal the whole thing was an act and a stage display. Its simple but works brilliantly.

[@bluetextonwhitebg]

i'm kind of surprised that skynd didn't implement the internet into this mv. it was certainly one of the first documented cases of a future mass murderer creating an online archive of what would ultimately be his manifestation. fun fact: not only is the heaven's gate website still active, but there is a mysterious person who still responds to emails.

[@jackg.1683]

Mass suicide, not mass murder. It was completely voluntary unlike say, Jonestown. People were completely free to leave at anytime (which is noted as unique), and people did leave with no issue and the cost like bus tickets, would be paid for. The website is ran by multiple HG members who stayed alive.

[@rickhanson3293]

Excellent song and video where absurdity and reality collide. Where you want to laugh at the very idea of such a cult leader and the events alleged to have occurred could even happen but knowing that it did and does happen. I remember a lot of the news surrounding this and thinking at the time that all of it had to be a complete hoax and then also remembered the Jim Jones thing and realized that as silly and contrived as some of the facts seemed to be the reality and truth of those facts are what contained the potency. It is why I caution people not to immediately believe that all media of fiction is actually fiction just because someone tells you it is.

Hi! I got my chance to watch your music video of Heavens Gate lots of times now (Thanks to your newsletter). Well well, this is certainly astonishing there! The song is creatively good to me. The same vocal remixes, but in a good way! :D I got to appreciate the instrumentals there, it fits well with Heavens Gate. As for music video, say this is pretty gnarly! I got to love the performances both you & the cast members of Heavens Gate. Well done direction & timing! The white drapes SKYND wielded really makes it nice! :D Camera movements, including Lighting in light-ish B&W is a Big PLUS! Makeups on casts & on SKYND are clever! The crew really aced this so good!
