Man, I miss and love this song so much. circus Maximus is the best Prog rock band to ever live. I love Dream Theater just as much, but this song just surpasses dream theater in so many ways.

11:05 That fucking jazz guitar solo, the tone and shred licks, moderate wa, Mats Haugen is a really god

[@rodrijack]

It`s really amazing this awesome song I don`t stop listening to this wonderful jewel of the progressive metal!!!!!

[@WpA09]

11:50 The riff buildup and the following riff is so damn epic!

[@joserodriguez7688]

No entiendo como esta obra de arte, espectacular, epica, tiene solo 321 likes, he escuchado esta pieza hasta unas 10 veces al día. Gracias por crear esta obra tan maravillosa que nos acerca al alma del universo.

[@Grox3000]

Such a masterpiece. Not even Dream Theater can top this

[@katemurphy1915]

Zach Cornett true.

[@magoelder9079]

There are a few bands that thad masterpieces of this lenght or similar: Symphony X, Haken, The Flowerkings, Spock's Beard, Neal Morse, Transatlantic, etc.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

@@magoelder9079 Symphony X! That's a band that knows how to compose a great epic, without ever boring you. (The Odyssey, The Divine Wings of Tragedy, Through the Looking Glass)

[@nikelodeon6852]

Nope bullshit.

[@Eincrou]

_"Not even Dream Theater can top this"_ I agree that this is a phenomenal song, and maybe even a masterpiece. But let's not get carried away, now...

[@rareacts9868]

Can only be described with one word. MASTERPIECE!

I hear Christian themes and concepts in the lyrics. Is this a band of Christian musicians? It wouldn’t be the first time the Christian music scene made my ears stand up proclaim “Wow”!

[@marinbah2401]

hi! may I recommend an album? it's called BE from the band Pain of Salvation, enjoy I hope you like it!

[@Desonestoindio]

Is the begining of this music a final boss ost from a SNES game made by Capcom in 90's? 🤣

My grandmother would have made fun of those plaid trousers..I talk to her all the time. She has yet to weigh in on your fellow’s trousers...

[@Darkagma]

Is 2:10 a tribute to some another band? I've heard it before from Magnum Opus' Heian Alien remix...

[@lolpawnage]

Circus Maximus's album came out in 2005. Purgatory Nuclear Fusion came out in 2010. Seems it's pretty obvious who "borrowed" the riff from whom... :P

[@Darkagma]

lolpawnage It's not about who borrowed or stole anything. It just seems that prog bands like to reference other bands. It could be possible that both of them referenced something that was created before (I haven't listened all prog songs since the beginning of history, so how could I know?).

[@Bellathor]

Yeah, from Diablo haha

Christian?

[@luiggibosca6843]

consejo sano ACELEREN LAS GUITARRAS Y HAGAN POWER METAL QUE SON UNA BANDA GENIAL NADA QUE ENVIDIARLE A KAMELOT

[@contratodomal]

Este disco se subió hace nueve años, está banda hace metal progresivo, a estas alturas ya no harían power metal, llegó tarde tu consejo

[@Psimbyosis02]

CM supera en pocas cosas a Kamelot (ambas bandas son muy buenas, extraordinarias). y una de ellas es la capacidad de Mats Haugen de ser una mezcla rara entre Petrucci y Lukather, cosa que Thomas Youngblood no tiene pero compensa que Thomas sea un mucho mejor compositor de letras y canciones ,antes que hacer cambios de ritmos casi circenses y pasar de lo melódico y expresivo a un solo frenético en nada. fui seguidor de Kamelot entre 2006 a 2014 en los años finales de Khan, y los primeros de Karevik y me pilló el album Isolate junto con el Ghost Opera, buenos tiempos.-
