Aviators - Metal Won't Burn (Armored Core Song | Alternative Rock)

[@scorpio0494]

“My soul is in ashes, but metal won’t burn” in other words, “what I’m doing is awful, but it’s keeping me alive”

[@templin7]

I like that interpretation. I really haven’t had the time to pick this song apart yet.

[@moustrout1299]

i took it as the nature of sacrifice, "wrapped within a soulless shelter, I possess the dread of war" "sacrifice my embers forge me better form" to become the devil, you must sacrifice what makes you human.

[@darth_dan8886]

Or: "I lost all hope of ever coming back, of having a normal life, but in turn the core of my being remains, now metal rather than flesh".

Man, they'd love to have an Armored Core. They're incredibly nimble, even for Mecha standards.

[@Zigthrill]

@@synth8519 An Armored Core vs a Gundam? Who wins?

[@Kayriel]

@@Zigthrill Gundam. I can't recall any AC that's specced up to take down a Gundam. Even the Realmecha Gundams are still working with higher tech, especially those with Gundanium/Gundarium armor. The RX-78 might have a tough time, but that's the grandpa of Gundams. If we get into the Supermecha Gundams there's no point to even holding the contest. God Gundam solos the ACverse.

[@kevinweber3749]

@@Kayriel Problem with such comparisons is the groundrules of the world you take anything from. Its the same as insane comparisons between characters of different universes. Though if you would put the two in the same universe, doesnt matter which things get interresting. Say You position gundams in the AC universe against an AC. The Gundam has no real chance. They would have normal armor, normal weapons, would be way slower based on the way they are constructed. If you put both in the Gundam Universe and put the same tech into an armored core then it would depend on the Pilot i guess. The AC yould be way swifter and extremely more mobile while it would take a lot less hits to be destroyed. The gundam is not as agile as an AC but would be way tougher so like i said, depends on the pilots skills.

How lucky am I? I come online on KZbin and first thing I see is "Aviators uploaded 53 seconds ago". I always look forward to any new song you create because they are truly unique. Metal Won't Burn is just another huge banger. Keep up that good work!

[@jessicaberry5596]

I understand the economic market is rough, so I don't begrudge you your decision to wait for a sale, but if any game this year deserves full price it is Armoured Core. When you get it, you'll enjoy the heck out of it.

[@najlitarvan921]

Saw it on key sites for 45 euro

[@a-blivvy-yus]

@@najlitarvan921 Key sites like the ones which multiple developers have said they'd prefer you to pirate their games than buy from? Because... be careful which key sites you shop at. Most of them are scum enabling even worse scum and effectively operate as money laundering tools for credit card fraudsters more than game stores. Depending how the devs handle the problem, either the devs get burned, or the devs and the customers get burned.

I love how this songs builds on the video, with all the slow bits showing how depressing the world is and when the chorus hits shows 621 fighting and doing jobs. Really sounds like this was the song that 621 sings while on rest and the chorus is when he has to be Walter’s hound

It is criminal that AC6 was only nominated for Best Action, and it probably won't win over High Fi Rush. Thank you for doing this wonderful game justice Aviators. I adored the song as always, and I can't wait to see what you do next!

[@venom0825]

People actually take gaming awards seriously?

[@RoulicisThe]

To be fair, High Fi Rush is also a very good game, just not the same kind as Amored Core

[@LordnotsirTav]

Because they nerfed melee attacks. Without dual-wielding I can't even play it like I've played every other AC game. So I'm waiting until mods for dual wielding comes out.

[@spamhere1123]

Your music is my inspiration for many of the things I have created. You give me drive through your music. I was stalled on writing a D&D session based in a cyberpunk setting using some of the armored core concepts in my campaign when, out of left field you released this song. as soon as I heard it, I got the inspiration I needed to finish writing the session. And this isn't the only time you have given me the inspiration I needed. I learned how to use blender while listening to "code breaker" and "signed on for a sequel" because I had an image in my head I needed to get out. I always look forward to your music and look forward to what the future will hold.

[@thecrimsoncommando3875]

2:53 to the end of the bridge is the best part of the song, and the music video for that sequence did not disappoint! A damn good closing song to one of your best albums yet.

[@mchooveshoofman7314]

This has been a song I have waited for so long to get a music video and damn is this paying off! I haven't finished the video, but I have been listening to the song on Spotify and it was an absolute banger - both as a song and as a tribute to one of my favourite games of the year! It truly captures what AC6 presents to the player, and Aviators knows how to recreate the ambience and tonality of the FromSoft games and turn it into song. With so many other great games from this year, some of which I still have yet to play like Lies of P, having songs tributing to these fantastic forms of media is what makes me so happy! Aviators is a person who can write some absolute fantastic songs which can be amazing standalone whilst also dedicated to a chosen game franchise

[@brotherlorcalthetheloyalis4928]

Such an amazing Game. It’ll be Game of the Year in my heart

[@LucifersAngel-mu4mw]

"Metal won't burn" Malevelon Creek would beg to differ!..Wait wrong dystopia.

[@RememberTheDuck]

Armored Core 6 is somehow less miserable than Helldivers 2. Which is wild to think about. Helldivers 2, you're given a gun and told to bring your fleshy meatsuit to a battlefield of horrors. In AC, you're given a giant metal body and told to go punch other guys in their giant metal bodies. You also sign away your mind for money, but that's a small price to pay comparatively. Plus, if you get the newer augmentation surgeries, you get to keep a lot of your mental faculties beyond warfare, so...

[@fiercedeity9955]

Damn. The lyrical cover of Sealed Vessel by Man on the Internet feels tragic. Gut-wrenching even. But this. This just feels so bleak. I don't know the story behind it, but it just feels like there isn't any anger. There isn't any hope. There isn't anything. Just a broken acceptance of circumstance from someone who either is too tired to fight it anymore or never knew to fight it in the first place. The melancholy and emptiness are so powerful. Good job.

[@BlackEpyon]

Welcome to the "dying world" genre. Pretty much every FromSoft game, really.

[@XonixDerps]

In a sense 621 or "Raven" is one of the few who get a choice to chill out in a sort.of happy end so to speak. So not all.bleak? Still bleak though.

[@jenovazincorporated2958]

A somber song for a badass and somber game. Keep up the amazing work. Playing this while playing Armored Core 6 gives me such a Adrenaline rush. Thats all that can be said

[@sabre2k2]

This song continues to bring chills to my spine every time I watch it. I've likely heard it legit over one thousand times by now. the truths within these lyrics are a constant reminder to me that the world is a vicious place with a haunting environment of thankless jobs, hardships and depressions all around but, yet, in a sense, the human spirit is like the metal that just won't burn and we press on despite all odds. Thank you Aviators for such a powerful song. From Revenge to Sweet Dreams to Metal Won't Burn, I've been an avid fan of your work and look forward to what Masterpieces join the list of these songs.

[@daemonflayer]

The sequence of lines starting with "I am flesh no more" ("So we all burn what came before", "For what the future has in store") all rhyme with armored core, and it would fit in that sequence. Whether intentional or not, the fact that it isn't said makes it feel even more present.

[@Aproppo]

This song is a harrowing reminder of your musical talent. The long and powerful tones hammer in the slow coming to terms of the character that is singing. I always love your works, but this truly did remind me of some of your best from six years ago like No One Will Save You. There are silent moments, where your lyrics echo in my mind- Beckoning to me their deeper meanings. Like birdsong they mesmerize the shallow moonlit night igniting it with creativity and soul. Your pieces are like sparks to my imagination; They arouse the deeper parts of the mind whilst still keeping me centered. There are only a handful of artists that I can grant that praise to, and you rank highly amongst them. I can solely wish you good fortune, and I yearn that one day I could have the privilege to witness your works live.

I have to admit that this song helped me write a dnd character. He is a warforge. Born in a country who is at war and was caught by the guard stealing bread. They are cracking down on crime and since he is quick and did struggle. The government decided to drag him to a magic circle. He was set in the circle and was forced to become the soul of the warforge. But the proble was that he kept his memories. And now he got freed from the haunting war. He has mithril armor as he was made to be quick on his feet and fight like a raging monster. A weapon that can charge through fire and arrows.
