Sons Of Apollo - Fall to Ascend

[@khanhasan924]

This is just too good. Absolutely blown away by the bass lines

Billy Rules!

[@patriciomorales19]

...its billy sheehan!!!!!!!!!!!

[@afterburner2869]

Khan Hasan I saw the Winery Dogs a few months ago and Billy kicked ass on that bass. I just scored my ticket to see Sons here in Sacramento next month and I also expect Billy to kick some more ass!🤘🏻

[@mikeg9b]

Ron Thal is an absolute master of that fretless guitar.

[@danielbaker1743]

He's just a master of guitar in general. Otherworldly

[@danicaraballo]

Ron sets himself apart in his own league as a Guitar Master, and he is a really really nice guy to meet too :)

[@illinglsu1]

Best living guitar player. His work along with Shawn Lane's is unapproachable for even the most world class level of guitar players. Truly unique.

[@mutilasijelangkungmelodeat2286]

2:26 long epic instrumental and solos Soto : I can search 7th dragonball

[@muhammadaliffauzan2820]

mantap bang

[@TheOtisBDriftwood]

I honestly think my ears just fell in love.

[@steveverboom]

Gotta hand it to these guys. They are all playing with a fire and intensity like musicians early in their careers, but with years of experience behind them. They are just killing it!

[@Drummershy]

Man, sons of Apollo should hit rock radio immediately

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

YOU listen to a Rock Station that plays brand new music ??? LINK ME/ Us PLEASE ,,,,,,,

[@joshblack4291]

[@chrissyb7916]

And that is a great way to start the weekend off!

[@metalhipster8008]

That drum intro!!! Can't wait for the new album

[@petrudess]

it's amazing my friend, I loved the first one but this one raises the level, the album is leaked

[@josejuarez8227]

As usual, Billy slays this song in every way possible.

[@Deshadow25]

I knew I would love this as soon as I heard that vintage Mike Portnoy crazy drum intro.

[@owar47]

it has been years i have not been excited by new music ... but this tune blew all my expectations ... WOW !

[@staticmonkey8436]

I was like that with their first album. I was obsessed with it!

[@carlosnascimento9269]

This one rocks hard! Nice. Got some Dance of Eternity vibes at the start of the instrumental section.

[@84Yeratel]

and a nod to Sons of Anu as well

[@Strasmus]

Was thinking the exact same thing

[@A_New_Yorker_Lost_In_Florida]

fretless: descending slide, ascending slide - fall to ascend

[@A_New_Yorker_Lost_In_Florida]

and of course... not excluding the obvious metaphor ... 👁😜

[@ceccavara]

we need an intro portnoy: hold my beer

[@155-NL]

These days, hold my water

[@armandoaboytes4013]

Honor thy father

[@Brehmencillo]

Hold My Starbucks coffee!

[@youssefammar2615]

Portnoy:hold my alcohol free beer

[@RyanxDunn]

I wonder if he drinks alcohol-free beers these days, or if he just stays away from them entirely because of his rough past with alcohol?

[@LorcanWard]

Amazing!

[@yannimohamed2349]

I'd give the Sons best metal act of the year, and Ron Thal has not had one bad moment soloing for SoA. Magnificent.

[@peterfinnigan6313]

A true supergroup in every sense of the word.Outstanding.Mike Portnoy's drumming is off the scale, the man's a beast!

[@SteveStanger]

These guys are so good! Waiting on the new album!

[@erivers71]

Billy Sheehan is a straight up killer on bass! Chops all day long!~

[@RyanxDunn]

Some recognition for the bassists! :D

[@martingonzalezmusic]

amazing!!!

Ron Thal Rules !!!

[@stevesorrell9835]

Savagio Desperados Hell yes, he does 🤘🏻😸🤘🏻

[@bobbyfikesmusicfun]

Yes

[@CSM-977_UltraViolet]

I was kind of mad he didn't stay in Guns N' Roses, but he gave us Art Of Anarchy and now Sons Of Apollo... so I am not mad.

[@VincePalamarasecretservicejfk]

Everyone sounds awesome on this epic!!!!!

[@hamiltonbadin]

2019 can finish now. Best song so far.

[@jimsimmons2674]

Yes i agree,this is there best song,i hope the rest of the songs on there new release are close to being good as Fall to Ascend!

[@petrudess]

I can assure you, although this is one of the most commercial

[@Eccentrics]

This kicks so much ass! Top Tier stuff SOA :D

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Powerful track!

[@JohnGalt539]

I wish they'd teamed up with Symphony X and go on tour together.

[@raimesey]

I was just thinking that exact same thing in my car earlier today!

[@felipemorenoperdomo9823]

The best modern prog bands ever united....that ouwld be wow.

[@sStyleMo]

that would be psychotic

[@AntonioPaolajAz]

Marchio di fabbrica !.. li riconosceresti ad un miglio di distanza ! I suoni di Mike ! Grandi !..

[@maciejburniak6192]

incredible on every level... the bar is set so high that I can't imagine anything better. Can't wait to see you guys in Europe again!!

[@EricMiller-hh1zj]

What a crazy super group. Guns and Rose's, mr big, dream theater and the keyboardist forget his name at the moment Derek something. Got to meet bumblefoot this past April. What a cool guy and a fricking hell of a musician. He is in asia, altitudes and additude, and this.

[@EatPopSlop]

So good!!!!!! :D

[@bassemkarame2510]

great band. i discovered them while listening to dream theater and they appeared in the recommendations

[@michaels9056]

Soto Rocks !

[@GMacYo]

Soooo good. First heard Scott on the early Yngwie Malmsteen albums and he had a unique sound then, but this is just that promise fulfilled now.

[@rileyorieux4901]

4:22 drum break is reminiscent of As I Am

[@bobbyfikesmusicfun]

How in anyone's right mind could they give this a thumbs down? This is incredible playing and an awesome song from some class act dudes. went to see them for my birthday and got to meet them all and hung out with them and Bumblefoot sang Happy Birthday to me! Billy Sheehan hung out and talked bass with me for over an hour. Excellent music from excellent people. Wish I could give 10 thumbs up. Oh wait, what's this???👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!

[@CapyBardo]

These armonies, in 2:40 and 4:08 are from sons do anu (black utopia) by Derek of course.

[@tokamana]

Bumblefoot is the man! Love Dereks lead tone!

[@catovandermeer505]

this is one of the reasons that sons of apollo is one of my favorite bands!!!!!

[@felixmartinmusic]

Slaying 🔥

[@h22s]

This is the best mid-00's Dream Theater song I've heard since mid-00's Dream Theater was a thing. Love it

[@melatiview1829]

landed here after listening to annihilator new single that came out few hours ago.. im not even mad, both are amazing band

[@igorotbass]

Melati View me too

[@charvDKgtr]

this is very Dream Theater like and I mean that as a compliment. The instrumental noodling, the unisions, the solo sounds uniquely bumblefoot. This might be my favoriate SOA sons I heard.

[@Musicmanohio247]

Soto sounding as good as ever, this is solid I cant wait to own it.

[@paulajane9828]

[@in10sityaoc]

They improve themselves. I think it's their best song yet. Can't wait to hear the whole album. This and Goodbye Infinity are solid

[@pabloriverafernandez7799]

The same here. Saw them live on 2018's ProgPower in Atlanta. They're beasts!

[@leinad2934]

Damn that kick drum is ballsy af! Props to the engineer

[@necroplastful]

It is absolutely the Falling Into Infinity drum sound which I personally fucking love.

[@FixxxerZ7]

OMG yes. This is brilliant. And the riffage from New Millenium, which Derek has used before in Sons Of Anu is back. I love it!

[@victorsalgado3606]

2:39 That bridge belongs to Derek... it appears in the song "The Sons of Anu" from Black Utopia's album. It's the part played originally by Al Di Meola (and later includes Sheehan and Sherinian)... please take a look and listen the similarities.

[@jorgecarlosc_]

DAMN, IT'S THE SAME PATTERN.

[@ferdinardos]

I got it at first hearing . Uforgettable synthesis ''Son's of Anu'' from Derek's personal album.

[@Jeffkingson]

Totally right!

[@naturepattern788]

Gran observación

[@stephenm.1988]

They just cant create their own pattern

[@mador2487]

New songs from Sons of Apollo,Psychotic Waltz,Carcass and Annihilator in the same day. Best friday 13th ever........

[@silverstone3228]

Mador thank you for summering the new stuff to me , i ll check each now Stupid KZbin didn't recommend the rest

[@Michael_Michaels]

1:24 Dream Theater's "Just let Me Breathe" drum pattern. Sorry guys, I couldn't resist. But I must say that you're not facilitating the experience of listening to your music and NOT comparing it to DT, since there are TONS of similar riffs and patterns!

[@theEINSTEININHO]

3:54 Ok that's basically stream of consciousness here

[@VincePalamarasecretservicejfk]

Fantastic!!! 😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@anthonysamuel143]

Every time I take shrooms I listen to Sons of Apollo. This is definitely the most creative metal band out there IMO. I can't even play their music in the gym without cracking up thinking "How did they even do that?" You know that feeling of reaching for your house keys, unlocking the door, walking inside and then realizing you are still in your car in the driveway and you are not sure what just happened? Thats what I feel this is like!

[@neoamaru]

Woa.. that's a direct challenge to DT at their own game..I love it 😀
