[@Prodigyinfinity]

5:25 always hits me with goosebumps right away

[@LegendMathai]

8:38 *AT THE HEART OF THE BLAZE!* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PeteOdeath]

My favourite band of the last 10 or so years. Aussie Legends.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Im gonna dive into more

[@Melodic-Metal]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody. Others (Neobliviscaris )Denver live. Pypcroptic.

[@bastychon3136]

These guys are incredible, every song they produce is an epic journey! If you want to do another song by them I recommend Countless skies or Abeyance

[@bryanmack5410]

I've loved these guys for years...and it's awesome watching them get some long-deserved attention. Hell, I'm wearing one of their shirts right now. RAWK ON!

[@GennaParis]

Adore Be'lakor! They are phenomenal live and all their tracks (albums) take you on a journey.

[@Adriel1985]

Thanks for checking this one out, Cosmic! Be'Lakor definitely has some Opeth vibes to them and this song has a great story to it. I hope you can find some time to check out more of their music, I think you'll like it!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I'm gonna listen to more for sure dude.

[@Melodic-Metal]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody was gonna say pyscroptic riffs are “insane” all done by one guitarist delayed all are so simililar but maybe (fragile existence first). Ne Obliviscaris. So out there I would do the 2 URN first .

[@donmcglothlin841]

Love this band Every album is all killer no filler This is there best song but every album is an epic journey

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I'm gonna have to grab an album. I been buying so many CD's

[@donmcglothlin841]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody my personal favorite album is Of Breath and Bone, others would argue Stone’s Reach which is a very close second for me. There truly isn’t a bad album. And their first is hard to get your hands on.

[@liabowden8526]

My husband put a mix cd of their first 3 albums in my car when we were dating and just... once it "sunk in" I was in love. I adore these guys. They just released an album a year or two ago, so you'll have to wait another 5 prolly for a new one, haha. But in the meantime you have a nice cache of albums to explore & fall in love with. Love this band so much. Absolute Favorite. Btw, Coherence is excellent to speed walk your dog to, prolly great to jog to as well, but I don't jog, I either walk Super fast or I run, and both of those go great with Be'lakor. 😅🤷‍♀️.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I need to dive into them more! Thanks for the reminder!

[@tannerehrlich5108]

The entire album Vessels that The Smoke Of Many Fires is from is a masterpiece! Every single song tells a story that ends up connecting to the next song's story, culminating in the track you just heard. I'd highly recommend checking out everything they've done, as they're one of the only 2 bands that I've heard where I can listen to every song on every album and not feel the need to skip one.

[@howlandgrowl]

What a beauty, very similar sound to Forest of Shadows. The "Metal Elitist" strikes again

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

lol NOOOO Im not an elitist hahahha

[@MaraxisArcanist]

Be'lakor's vocals always sound like this. I like it, but some people get turned off by it. Check out Countless Skies by them for another long track that goes by in a blink.

[@bajasmancer]

Be'lakor is peak Melodeath :) Can recommend Countless Skies and An Embers Arc, both brilliant songs. Their lyrics are often just as impactful as their music, just good stuff all around :)

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I gotta check out more

[@cranboogie]

Yes! Thank you so much for Be’lakor! 🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏 Australian bands are something special! Be’lakor, Ne Obliviscaris, Hollow Decay - you won’t be disappointed if you find them.

[@cranboogie]

AN EMBER’S ARC COUNTLESS SKIES HIDDEN WINDOW These songs - Be’lakor’s masterpieces! 🌀🌀🌀👍👍👍

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

much love friend, this was great.

[@plantdesigns7889]

I kind of want to move to Australia just for the music scene. So many bands I'm into. Be'lakor, Karnivool, Caligula's Horse, Cog, Dead Letter Circus, Ne Obliviscaris, Twelve Foot Ninja (before disbanding), and early Parkway Drive.

[@DoomSkullYT]

I've been chilling in the background for a few weeks now. I stumbled upon your reactions to Wintersun, one of my favourite bands, so been following a bit since. Glad to see you now listen to yet another one of my favourites, Be'lakor. My only recommendation with them is to listen to the entire Vessels album, it tells a story with this song being the last, kinda brings a tear to the eye after the rest of the journey you take. One other suggestion, please check out Transcience by Shylmagoghnar, you won't regret it

[@blindmikeguard]

Can't beat some Be'lakor! Great, underrated band.

[@Vipppala]

its one of the most highly rated bands in any melodeath community

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

it was soo great reacting to them!

[@blindmikeguard]

@@Vipppala Agreed, however in the grander scheme of the metal community as a whole, not enough people know about them....hopefully that continues to change as they release more albums on a relatively large label, and continue to tour.

[@Kimrah01]

Be'Lakor are storytellers in lyrics and music par exellence! Try the song Whelm from the same album, won't dissapoint!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

that sounds awesome

[@freekeemonkee]

Be'lakor songs are epic sonic journeys. You would probably want to check out the band Draconian if you liked this band.

[@Orbsaladin]

My man! You've reacted to Be'lakor! They're pretty unique, and their lyric videos are always a journey. Another lyric video that is amazing is Hidden Window. Hope you listen to them again.

[@QuarkStorm]

They're in my personal top 5 with Epica. Another one in it is Saor and the perfect song to introduce you to them is Forgotten Paths. This is a journey like no other.

[@Danne2711]

Great band with great storytelling! Next do Be'lakor - Hidden Window, another amazing journey :D

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I will look into it for sure!

[@sagebooker]

very good job on the different instruments, and I like the alternation between spoken voice and singing voice, both with this deep growls

[@draug7966]

One of the bands i've heard of but never really checked out. You know it's good when a song is this long and still feels too short, and damn these 9 minutes went away fast indeed. All these changes and transitions that somehow fits perfectly well together made for one hell of a ride. The way the song is put together seems kinda similar to how NW songs can be like 10 songs in one, and when you hear a new one you have no idea where it goes next.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Yea its a journey. It was great!

[@puppetmaster8551]

Go listen to stone’s reach and of breath and bone if you haven’t already. Both perfect masterpiece records from them. Vessels the album this is from is fantastic too and their most recent record coherence is great too. They’re pretty widely consider to be one of the best melodeath bands in the world the last ~14yrs or so since stone’s reach dropped. Every song of theirs is really good to phenomenal. This song while great isn’t even one of their best songs imo

[@ModoTronic666]

Maybe they remind you of Amon Amarth? I think it's in the same category too. Be'Lekor I found this last year. Good stuff!

[@Enochulator]

this album, Vessels, is a concept album that follows the path of energy from the Sun this is the last track. Whole album is excellent. Btw, if you want a long listen, probably not for a reaction, but your own enjoyment, give Insomnium’s Winter’s Gate a listen.

[@klegane]

Thank you too for being here and appreciating this little big piece of art 💜

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

My pleasure 😊

[@patriotFPS]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Check out Fallensun, The language, Death, Eternal

[@fr0zenbr0]

Be'lakor abosolutely one of my favorites. Every song is a different journey for sure. Please do From scythe to sceptre if you crave for more! Love your stuff!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

yo much love, that song sounds brutal

[@digitalspecter]

Saw Be'lakor last weekend and they played this song too.. damn they're good. Thanks for the reaction :) Try Countless Skies from them next maybe?

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

That would of been an awesome show

[@AMH777]

Los mejores del 🌎

[@gungnir3926]

unofficially the most underpopularized band in metal, not the most unappreaciated for sure, most that hear it are fans.

[@gabrielkain1]

You should react to some TooL. One of the most complex bands there is out there. You might have already heard most there stuff but they have a sizable catalog that most people never react to. Especially there Demo "Opiate" and there first major release "Undertow."

[@tristanbrooks1222]

They are influenced by Opeth!
