Ulcerate - To See Death Just Once (Official video)

[@Horsemeat]

Best thing about Ulcerate's music is there's melodies underneath the layers of dissonant madness

[@tomaszkaminski6495]

They display incredible compositional skills per se. Their pieces arranged for piano sound like 20th century classics. Strange classics, of course, lined with melody. You have strings of chords that almost fly apart from an overload of dissonance. But they not only don't fall apart, they create a melody. It's funny that metal reaches such a level of abstraction at a time when probably all the major contemporary composers are returning to tonality and trying to communicate with a wide audience.

[@ricepresidents]

This is pretty overtly melodic compared to the old stuff

[@alexandersimmons3350]

@@tomaszkaminski6495 I've remarked, that their death metal, much as with their cousins in the dissonant side of the black metal scene, reminds me strongly of late romantic and early modern orchestral composers, particularly the composers from Eastern Europe. There's shades of Mussorgsky and Stravinsky in there, and any of the other even more experimental composers (whose names elude my memory) that played with dissonance to an even greater degree. Even the constant flurry tremolo picking the stacked layers of chord progressions are build around is akin to how the string sections were used.

[@tomaszkaminski6495]

@@alexandersimmons3350 Scriabin, Bartók, Szymanowski... :D Yes, Ulcerate (and similar bands) have "reconstructed" the decay phase of tonality, a frightening and fascinating moment in music history. There is also a lot of death metal that is simply atonal or rather "doesn't reckon with tonality."

[@athmaid]

May I recommend Vildhjarta?

[@joshmarion9683]

It's getting ridiculous how far ahead of their peers ulcerate are. It's like if humanity had perfected the art of death metal 100 years from now and decided to send a band back in time to educate us

If the apocalypse doesn’t have Ulcerate playing as its theme music, I’m not going.

I have literally been saying for years they are the movie score to the end of days...

During the MGLA and Ulcerate tour would've been great timing for a little apocalypse 😂

[@bnjamkir]

Is this maybe why there is such a relevance and timeliness to this?! Does the Kali Unga have a soundtrack?!

[@ironpingu6306]

June 14th 2024 = AOTY day 🔥

[@jeremyfaulkner1048]

AOTY gets bandied about far too often. Ulcerate are beyond that.

[@Metalasfark]

yeah i think similar it'll be a definite contender for end of year accolades, thoroughly deserved too coz they are just so unique in style & sound.

[@The_Dusk_Sage]

As soon as I heard that first track they dropped I knew it was gonna be my AOTY.

[@HankWhiteman]

My brothers. Whazzz up?!

[@MarilynBerry-bi2sd]

Hail

[@melvinfz0301]

Never expected to see 3 music videos ahead of their album releases. Definitely best death metal band of this generation.

[@jesuspopcornius6078]

The sheer love this band gets in the new releases' comment section is impressive, yet totally deserved and indeed one cannot thank them enough. It's truly once in a century amounts of talent these guys have.

[@amithpandit4043]

What we need is some guitar playthroughs by Michael.

[@StevenMcPeterbilt]

For real! Dude is a visionary.

[@PsalmsofDarkness]

You were a band recommendation that was made to me today and I love your immersive, atmospheric sound. Dark Blessings!!

[@sugheroatletico8166]

The final riff reminds me of the main riff from everything is fire. This style lined with the more melodic approach of their recent works is just epic

[@jordancarey5460]

Another one!? Your spoiling us. Thank you Ulcerate, DMP and Dehn Sora! Bring on June!

[@uapsiabiduba]

Cannot wait to see and hear them in Poland (November). Their music helped me a lot with everyday mental struggles. Perfect combination of madness & sadness.

[@papichulobr]

Excited for this album!!! Just jammed the shit out of Shrine of Paralysis last week ...these guys are so good

[@RawBrutalAussie]

Still there finest album front to back in my opinion, but this maybe a close second

[@papichulobr]

@@RawBrutalAussie True! That album is pure gold

[@Masher2025]

What a crushing track with crushing ending. "This discontent is a mirror before me Countlessly broken and unbroken The air becoming thin among the disquiet Resurrection bestowed on the unwilling Embracing the last entropy Reject and betray existence"

[@MutatedAntibiosis]

"Resurrection bestowed on the unwilling" Such cold violence. Truly hits deep.

[@omarjimenezmontalvo2454]

Esa mezcla de acordes melódicos y blast beats conduciendolos a lo disonante me encanta 👌🏽🤘🏽.

[@derekteal5089]

Best writing and arrangements for extreme music. Hands down. Perfect

[@vaskdelamaris5680]

This band has single-handedly rekindled my interest for extreme music, I do hope one day it's recognised for what it is, and of course, to see them live here in Europe. Cheers from Germany!

[@ingolfrvargr]

They're playing the Servants of Chaos festival in Germany later this year, you should check it out. Incredible lineup!

[@vaskdelamaris5680]

@@ingolfrvargr You just made my day, cheers mate!

[@EverythingisFire]

I'd like to, selfishly, import them to the U.S.A. but a European country would be good too! I think they would get way more exposure if they could tour more often. Being from NZ is pretty limiting, I imagine.

[@DanEl-kr3kn]

I agree... death metal was meh until my friend introduced me to Ulcerate. The foreboding doom mixed with clear melody... F anyone who doesn't like it. I do!

[@RoryM85]

I don't know what I love the most about these new songs. The chaos of the beginning, the melody of the quieter interludes or the emotional catharsis of the ending.

[@makspieprzyca4032]

Its crazy how this guys completly mastered their craft. I simply cannot believe how can you top the level of musical excelence that they present.

[@Frogmilk]

This band hypnotizes me into such a dark place. In a good way.

[@ricepresidents]

This rips way harder than the other singles. holy mother of god

[@wolverine669]

Must.....resist..... listening..this..... I wanna wait the album!

[@ckokomo808]

I tried but failed.

[@swarming1092]

If there's an album I'm looking forward to, I check to see the tracklist, see how many songs there are. I never listen to more than 20% of the album, otherwise you can easily end up listening to too much and spoiling the release ecstasy for yourself.

[@DearFreja]

Just discovered you guys a few weeks ago and you're absolutely killing it with these singles. Amazing band.

[@ilyarbashiri]

This is the best thing I've heard in a long time

[@johnhurley4656]

These guys break all kinds of personal rules of mine for music: songs sound similar, vocalist uses similar patterns and ranges, guitar uses “noises” (even the same ones between songs and albums!)… and somehow they are never repetitive, monotonous or unsurprising. What a creative and unique group. Killing it!

[@diogobaia3738]

Their album from 2020 is the only record ever I just cannot get enough of, across all genres

[@boagrius3292]

​@diogobaia3738 no kidding man. Ever since it dropped I haven't stopped listening to it and because it's so good it doesn't even feel like it's been 4 years. If this new album holds me for 4 years as well I may consider getting an ulcerate tattoo 😂😂

I feel such undescribable melancholy listening to your music... It combines labyrinthian chaos with such beautiful melodies, and the technicality always serves the purpose of, ehm, I guess just throwing my soul into the abyss and making me enjoy it?

[@Neomorphinity]

I've listened to 'The Dawn is Hollow' and 'To Flow Through Ashen Hearts' more times than I would like to admit. Now I have another one to add to it, while eagerly anticipating this AOTY to drop. I have not been this excited for a release in a really, really long time. I often thought about how they could possibly follow Stare Into Death, and yet here they are, doing just that. It's beyond incredible.

[@swarming1092]

You gotta know how to measure your pre-release listens bro. Listen to a maximum of 20% of the album, don't overplay it, let yourself get hyped for it!

Definitely the most unique track they've written in years. And here I was thinking they weren't ever going back to their more older, bleak, atonal style of Everything is Fire and Vermis. Boy was I wrong. Proves this band can still surprise me. That last haunting epic riff *mind blown*

[@piixiie1337]

The joy of hearing each one of these songs for the first time is such an unique and irreplaceable moment in the eternity of my life that i can only say thank god i am still alive to witness these guys deliver such majestic music.
