The Human Abstract - Procession Of The Fates (Official Music Video)

[@LOLTHUGAIM]

I seriously feel like the the only THA fan that thought Midheaven was actually good :/ True that it wasn't as heavy as Nocturne, but it was so deep and progressive. I feel that the lyrics on Midheaven were insanely deep and profound, while the music itself was innovative and new and PROGRESSIVE. It wasn't Nocturne, it was Midheaven. Anyone who thinks it's bad simply thinks music is all fancy guitar licks and fast drum fills. No soul. Midheaven = Amazing album imo.

[@JustinYates]

You’re not alone.

[@jollytemplar3670]

I think it's a decent album, though personally I prefer the other two. Still, even though this is technically my 'least favorite' album of theirs, it's still not bad overall.

[@microtonalmilio5233]

It’s called the herd mentality. Friend one only does what friend 2 does, and friend 3 makes that decision based on what friend 1 and 2 thought etc. people can’t step away, listen without bias, any longer.

[@VildhjartaFanGurl]

You are not alone. It's super catchy and fun.

[@nextplanet7100]

So let’s talk about it?? Well. AJ Minettes bro classical finesse I think really kinda set the mood for what THA was about. Midheaven is a lot different from Nocturne. I love it also really. ***The Production Value on this album was better. You can tell.

[@Vizhekar]

3:44 that keyboard line is so precious.

[@uberbtafan]

Dude, I LOVED Midheaven, music and all! You're not alone, my friend! =)

[@virgilteman]

uberbtafan me too

[@iLL1337]

Whoever produced the drums on this album should find the guy who produced the drums on Digital Veil and then they should kick each other in the nuts for the remainder of time.

[@Vizhekar]

You make your way, but don't belong. I swear you're not the only one. Is that what you've been dreaming? Is that what you've been dreaming? There's other ways of staying strong, Than keeping out the other ones. I feel the light years between what you say and what you mean. You won't get through with that phony confidence. I hear you speak, but nothing is said. You'll be stranded on the other side, Endless nights upon endless nights you'll be alone, Endless nights upon endless nights you'll be alone. You'll be alone to the grave. There's a place in all of us, the same in everyone, Making right the balances in all of us, Aching, burning, growing, learning and building the world around us. Until our lives are done, we'll share the same emotions, Shed tears of eulogy, then turn to plant our seeds. Still you can't hear me. Call out your name and try to get through. I never hear back, never hear back. And my words became a thousand arrows, Slicing through the endless barricades, So that everyone on earth could hear my call, And I watched for you. Now I know you're putting me on, you've chosen to Swear off the general population. ...And all those around you draw to quiet, your eyes dart across the room, But it's just an illusion, the room doesn't exist, there's only you and I, And it's almost like we can't fail at all, Or maybe we've failed already. what you choose to see is real: A cold dark world of enemies, obstacles you could never overcome, Or a bright future ahead. So tell the whole world and we'll start brand new, Strip the shackles off, let me look at you. If you can't reach out like you've been longing to, I'll have to rethink all that I thought I knew. Call out your name and try to get through. I never hear back, never hear back. Call out your name and try to get through. I never hear back, never hear back from you.

[@KyleShreds6391]

I was talking to Dean at a show on tuesday, and he said that they are getting the rest of the previous members to write material for the new album, I have really high hopes for it. IMO both albums are great and I like aspects of boh, but with AJ back for the recording part, I really hope they add some more classical elements. Either way, this band is amazing.

[@matsod16]

I like what hissink114 said "When it all boils down, you find that not everyone is open-minded enough to appreciate this band's new direction" hell yeah XD

[@wolfman8785]

Man..I loved this band since the first time I heard them, and I love all 3 albums for their own reason even though they're completely different though. I wish they didn't break up..too good of a band to stop

[@DarthNader11]

I heard from AJ this morning he told me he just got back from co-writing the new album and everyone is happy with the new material

[@justinbob33]

So everyone knows, they do have a new singer, AJ is back for the new album and for the summer and winter tours while he works on getting his Masters of Music degree. Andrew Tapley is still in the band, so now they have 3 guitars. I'm excited to hear how the new album sounds!

[@misstrKevin]

I love this album, doesn't really sound like the other ones but who wants to hear the same shit over and over again. thats the metal scene nowadays

[@doublej706]

NOTHING WILL COMPARE TO NOCTURNE!!! ...you all remember that! .........not even The Human Abstract could create something so brilliant again.

[@BaenaCarcosa]

fuck, Noctune owned there new album :(

[@dontyoudarenoobme]

their*

[@peperonikiller]

First time i saw them was live a few days ago... and they are awesome... but all that remains kicked ass when they got on stage haha

[@DannyXNightmarez]

hallelujah! praise THA!

[@pdubzpyro]

[@JustinYates]

It makes me tremendously sad that this band couldn't work out their differences. The words in this song (and many others) didn't fall on deaf ears THA. -JY

[@stropheum]

I bought it today. Very different, but still VERY good. Open yourselves to some change guys, come on. GET THE CD!

[@npetrie76]

@PerfectSinX wikipedia says he's still in the band. it says he was in it up to like 2007, left for a year, then it says 09-to present. soo is he still in the band or what?

[@Br34kthr0ugh]

To put it short, don't isolate yourself from other people, and make sure you keep yourself open that way you won't be alone since all humans are essentially the same. Look up the lyrics and it'll make more sense.

[@DeathcoreDude]

this new album worth downloading?? i really liked nocturne..

[@revanslave]

what is the name of the opening song they played at the DEG tour?

[@brutalhonesty]

well its on their website. and he's just coproducing and co writing it. They also have new pics up with him in the studio with them.

[@mablakn]

@DarwinSilhouette He's back in the band now

[@Nboy514]

Love the album \m/

[@Sxionix]

@PerfectSinX Actually. AJ is back in the band.

[@lyzd3x1c]

vocals own you.

[@corrda1993]

Whats the 3rd album?

[@sergiofutbol123]

this song is amazing iam careless if they change or not but this dudes are so fucking good and their guitars are amazing i got to admit but this vocals are just great i love their instrumental songs like desiderata i got to say that this music is great never hear of a band like this one and really loving they music Midheaven Nocturne no matter which album you like the best this band is yes amazing viva The Human Abstract!

[@SomeWhereIWander]

Between the Buried and Me is incredibly diverse, and increasingly skillful. On the other hand, without A.J.'s classical style I found Midheaven to be my least favorite. But I can appreciate it with a different perspective on what Dean had to do to accomplish this. But with A.J. back for Digital Veil they kicked more ass (not quite as much as Nocturne). Leaving a good note I have high hopes in Dean after hearing the Moonlight Sonata covers.

[@davydoomz]

Damn I love this song!

[@fovalorgeneral1]

How have I not found this earlier?!?!

[@DarwinSilhouette]

@Sxionix he is just gonna be on production

[@7heory777]

After listening to nocturne, then listening to this, this takes much harder to get used to, but it still sounds kinda good.

[@lamaj26]

Aj was definetly the reason i even started lisening to this band. His part of the intro in Vela Together We Await The Storm was total awesome i don't like the new THA but they are worth a listen.

[@c1r2b33]

sweet video

[@191993ben]

IMO, I personally liken it to Soilwork. Infectious, soulful, meaningful. Don't get me wrong, I like their new stuff, but THA had such a unique sound with Ells. And this song fuckin rules. So anthemic and powerful.

[@youdontknow37]

i like the new music a lot better. i feel like its a lot more reflective

[@atomicstapler]

The video was shot before the song was wrote, the entire album is based off this video, they wanted to capture the mood of the album from this video. Personally, I think the music should have came first.

[@hellashes]

Oh, and BTW, if you don't support THA for this album, that really doesn't make you a fan anymore, does it.? ;)

[@matsod16]

and seriously, what's the fun in making the same album 5x over?

[@megabassmasta]

This band is fucking awesome period

[@anuar7x]

I'm agree with ichnan1 The Midheaven is a Great album!! i think good as Nocturne but completely diferent i love both albums

[@ohwhatacereal]

If you think about it that makes it an entirely new band

[@isthatjake]

And the guitar work isn't too shabby in Midheaven either!

[@wednesdaysarecoolinc]

thats sick

[@jameatronzilla]

According to the band's myspace. Aj left because he didnt want to play metal, and the band wanted to continue playing heavy music that their fans enjoy. After reading that I was rather pumped, after listening to the album, I was rather confused. I like the cd, it works as a whole, none of the songs stand out like almost every track from nocturne. Nothing on this cd makes me want to go to a show, the last cd screamed out to be heard live.

[@soyelmore]

i like it a lot, they focused on the voices but it's cool =]

[@DannyXNightmarez]

Seriously, guys, get over AJ leaving the band and cut Tapley some slack. Imagine how he feels when people say that he can never measure up to Aj. Come on! If you really are only into THA because of Nocturne, then seriously, you have problems. I will always be a fan of THA no matter how many times they change their lineup or their sound.

[@cadben]

I think you're overlooking the album abit. If you listen to the guitar work in Metanoia on Midheaven, the guitar work in that is immense and probably equals most of the guitar on Nocturne! As for the over all technicality of the music, Minheaven beats Nocturne in places. Im not trying to cause a fight, or put down Nocturne, cos i think thats a great album too! But i am just saying just because they took a new direction and A.J left doesn't mean the other musicians aren't any less talented!

[@NaushinPotter]

Ahhhmazing :)

[@antidrummer13]

amen.

[@suggy696]

yes they definately did

[@ImaginaryBeaver]

i really like the song and i think their midheaven album is amazing but im not sure i like this video at all. i really would have liked to see the band playing, but ill live with this.

[@damonbouge]

AJ is not in the band he is co-writing with the band

[@sharknose47]

i agree

[@poorkid2023]

At first Nocturne seems far superior to Midheaven, but really give it a chance and listen to it a few times. you will like it because is is amazing both albums are. Their shows are killer too

[@SuperNerd528]

this video is intense! ahaa.

[@a7xfan683]

This new album is worth buying... stop the downloading.

[@Tsj94532]

change is okay when the vocalist doesnt sound like shit and writes lyrics that dont suck

[@GhostChamberR3]

Aj was a much better composer, he gave all the escence to the music we heard in the past album, the arpeggios, solos, acoustic guitar riffs, and all those arrangaments were the escence of the band, including the lirycs. today, THA is absolutelly diferent to what they

[@McDog3]

I do agree with HA about how annoying it is how people are complaining about the new album. Of course, 90% is an exaggeration lol but those who complain do make the most noise so it's understandable.... Point is, you people complain now about THA changing, IF they would've stayed the same you would be complaining about how they haven't "progressed" a few albums down the road. It's never enough with you people is it?

[@atomiclumberjack]

"dude.. man.. it's like.. words are arrows, and we're in a room, but it doesn't exist.. maybe or not.. failed.. shit man fuck LSD" -Nathan Ells haha I can't talk shit this is a badass video

[@jakkefriet]

A.J. is helping with the album, he is not in the band and the singer left the band

[@ryanoneill91]

@itsballinacup So, because you don't like it, means that the album sucks? Your opinion must be the universal standard in good/bad music... The album doesn't suck, its awesome. Sorry if YOU don't like it, but your opinion really means nothing.

[@agatg92]

horror is completely right. bands these days all conform to the scene. but not this band, this album is waaayyy better than nocturne, because they had the balls to be different

[@zantos1o1]

And I reserve my right to say that this album is a joke. Listen to the insane awesome guitar, then right when the vocals cut in, the guitars are cut down to butt rock level awesome. Its like a hidden joke.

[@JackTheMetalHead]

how does this sound like metallica?

[@Osqarcore]

*OOOOOOO*

[@GhostChamberR3]

were before, and it really sucks because they were creating very good and unique music. I think Aj was The human abstract

[@twowords1]

@MrIKTPQ4life agreed!

[@DarwinSilhouette]

sorta got "used" to the new sound now -_-

[@stich96]

no offense but all the people that are sad sound like the fans of iced earth when barlow left just take their music for what it is. its still pretty cool

[@PatrickWard4]

I am glad I read some of these comments...I thought that I was the only one who was let down by the new album, (from reading their myspace comments). Yeah, I guess it cool that they came up with something new, but half of it is meaningless noodle-ing and that terrible singing. I listened to Nocturne so many times and still can listen to it all the way through. This stuff I could not even listen to it all the way through once on their myspace page for free! The Faceless is coming out really soon!

[@Immafishstick]

It's amazing how you guys are so fucking close minded... New singer, different music... What motive is that to hate it? Because its not like what they were? The point of music is to appreciate it all equally... Not close off certain parts because it isn't what your used to... Enjoy it, and appreciate it, and maybe you will see the band is just as good as it always was. simply different.

[@jmk2910]

you could not possibly be more wrong.There is no recreation attempt in the least on this album. They have changed.period. It is very obvious that the band is missing something significant with the loss of AJ,but the band knows hes irreplaceable. So in response they changed their sound and put out a record that is quite good.And please shut up about tapley and dean, they are magnificent guitarists just with different styles than AJ and if people cant appreciate that they need to open their minds

[@johnnyv5812]

I just couldn't really get into his vocals on this album. I was pleased with the change for digital veil and think Travis fit the style of the album.

[@ben_heartbound]

mhh strage video .. like this of Vela together we await the storm, anyway this songs are great

[@agatg92]

the lyrics arent exactly pointless. they all seem to be about war. nuclear war. not necessarily this song but alot of the others on this album. but i will agree that the video makes no sense.

[@hellashes]

I'm completely fucking disgusted at 90% of all Human Abstract fans right now. I will admit, AJ was my favorite member of the band, BUT HE'S GONE. LIVE WITH IT. Of course the band is going to change, they have new guitarist in the band. While the new album isn't close to as good as Nocturne, it's something new, rather the same old. I'm enjoying this new album very much, and I'm completely glad they didn't do another Nocturne. Change is always good for a band.

[@charlescarraher]

their instrumental talent is fantastic but their singers voice is harsh and seems to be pushed when he screams. the intro to their songs is epic as always though and that needs to be supported by a better song body

[@hellashes]

grammar issue. rather the same old should be "rather than the same old"

[@carlosxxcore]

lml

[@Tuttrow]

Aj was nocturne....

[@Osqarcore]

.lml

[@SetsunaAngelfood]

yea the song is okay. the video was less than okay. maybe since aj left they wanna change their sound. . well i say go back to the old stuff it was sooo much better! i'd still listen to nocturne more than this new cd. what happen to great awesome sound like, crossing the rubicon, vela, mea culpa, nocturne, or harbringer??? they just don't sound all epic anymore. .

[@duff5000]

you may say he`s a better guitar play i don't know whether he is or not but he`s definatley not a better composer

[@smittyburnsshred777]

@bearwithpaws if you are lying sir you are a very bad man if you speak the truth you are kickass

[@chicken6111]

@stupidguy426 check out their new song samplers. they got a new singer (thank god) and A.J. is back which = no longer gay.

[@LoveIsGreed]

I hate songs where they deliver some shitty message or story in the middle of the song,and by this I mean the part at 2:55

[@kevstew26]

This video is not very good, its terribly in sync with the song. The vid should be faster paced. It's also so bland and linear. Good song though and whoever says nathas vocals suck well i think theyre actually really good and helps save the new album

[@TheOnlyxOne88]

This album isnt completely terrible, it has it's moment,s but I agree that it's nothing close to the caliber of Nocturne. In no offense to any members of the band, as they all have ridiculous skills, but AJ made The Human Abstract what it was. Even on the track listing it said "Written by AJ Minette AND The Human Abstract" And this video made no sense at all, I know theyre going for abstract ideas but atleast do something understandable. Seriously.

[@thaddeusk]

I still liked Travis a LOT more than Nathan. Lets hope they can find good vocalist to take over now that Travis left. I prefer the heavier style of Digital Veil, I guess.

[@MrKylePopovich]

These vocals belong in 80s rock.

[@secondchildhood1142]

Only decent song on the album is maybe a violent strike lol a few out of place sweeps, but the vocals are badass. Couldn't help but laugh at Nathan's random whining...and checks notes rapping? on later songs. Also love A7X critical acclaim sample later in the album. Come on Nathan, if all the songs sounded like that no one would have complained. Too much LSD for sure

[@Mr_Riffman08]

Speaking of whinging you have no idea how tiny you sound right now on the internet.damn it must suck to be someone like you...One day someone will be bored enough to find the cure to this culture of tall poopy syndrome growing all over the internet but for now all i got for you and people like you is just 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 stay shrunken b!tch

[@youngb1ood]

yea why is nocturne so much better.... their new album is less than half of what nocturne is.

[@xxkrombiexx]

@guitarpwner67 no. not at all XD you fall in love with the band FOR THAT SOUND if you want to listen to a different look on music. find a different band. Nocturne was the best and this is garbage. This is when you let an ego of a singer ruin something beautiful and grand. I'm excited to see AJ coming back.

[@superbad8008]

Not the best Ive heard, but okay. LET THE THUMBS-DOWN AND HATE REPLYS RAIN DOWN UPON ME LIKE SOME MANY WATER DROPLETS IN A DARK STORM!!!!!

[@yeaitssilas247]

:/ im sry but im ashamed of the new album.... its nothing like their old album was, and i hate it when bands change genre or make their stuff sound different for like no reason..... i miss nocturne :(

[@musicforchange26]

this album is not as good as far as guitar work its way more vocally based wich is unfortunate becuase nocturne was soooo ill the guitar is good just not as good id like this album more if it was a different band completly and T.H.A had stayed the same they conformed to the listeners that like less brutal stuff like you can barley hear the guitar ....drums and vocals .....kinda sad
