VEIL OF MAYA - Three-Fifty

[@breakthisshitdown011]

This is the new ERRA of Veil of Maya. I love those melodies.

[@Köttbullebajs]

Jake Riley ERRA > Veil of Maya. By miles :>

[@Clarkzor]

DiTzZ I think augment was probably the best djent/prog album I've ever heard... but this album is the second. I disagree that erra is still as good as that album, not that they still aren't great. Without garrison and the other guitarist that left they definitely don't have quite the same punch, but like I said they are still really good. I think garrisons replacement is great and jesse is melodically better than marc.... but understand erra has 2 guitarists where marc is on his own. I would say melodically/solos jesse is better but marc has him on quirky grooves. I don't think your comment is being fair to vom and I would disagree with it based off erras last ep, but would agree in terms of augment. sorry for long winded response but these are pretty much my two favorite bands

[@Köttbullebajs]

Clarkzor AFAIK, Erra wrote and recorded "Moments of Clarity" during a very short period of time, just to show the fans that their sound hasn't changed too much and to give us something to listen to while they work with their new full-length album. They also said that their album will be a looot better than that EP. With that said, I've always liked Erra and I like every single song by them. This is the first album by VoM that I can actually listen to, I don't like their old stuff. Erra is one of my absolute favourite bands, while VoM is far away from it. My comments are solely based on my own opinions. So once again; ERRA > Veil of Maya. :DD I like long answers, it definitely shows your passionate about the subject ;)

[@davidcolon-margolies8858]

Clarkzor Jesse would shit himself knowing you guys are comparing him to VOM. They looked up to BOO and VOM for years before they ever got big. Someone's dream just came true.

[@Clarkzor]

Jesse should pat himself on the back because IMO he has made it into the elite prog metal/djent guitarists category for the way he combines grooves melody and solos... And he sings like a mother fucker. I would venture to say that in totality Jesse is a better musician than Marc but the one thing that very few can touch is Marc's quirky grooves if think he and misha are the best at those from what I've heard. Point being erra and vom are the shit, so is boo, but since discovery and no Richardson they aren't as good anymore.

[@PearlDrummerFTW]

They got me in the feels with "perception of life is perception of soul." Makes me want to live a little better.

[@mattkeller5339]

The way you see the world, as grim as it may appear, is all in your perception of self. That is what they're trying to say specifically there. The line straight up restores faith in humanity. Especially when you start to surround yourself with better people and see first hand most of us aren't as it appears online.

[@sukaenacornelius9285]

I hope you do. Take care.

[@zachallday]

This and Daenerys are my favorites from this newest record. The clean vocals sound amazing if you ask me. Everyone is talking shit but this is a goddamn good record.

[@KikiTheHobo]

+Zach Honeycutt Truly love the vocals :) Must be because of the hungarian roots :P

[@TxAGGression]

same :D although lisbeth is good too

[@arrohmasukmapmd7413]

i'm on your side

[@mattkeller5913]

Eh Daenerys was kinda meh to me. This and Teleute

[@johnnygotgrowls]

Hands down my favorite track on this album. So beautiful!

[@solidsn4ck]

Discovered this song recently, can't stop listening to it. Just love the guitars and lyrics, it makes me smile and just gives a little bit of hope in life and my dreams.

[@OFFSTALLICA]

Tremenda belleza de álbum. Sin duda, unas de las mejores bandas que he escuchado en los últimos años.

[@NishantHagjer]

1:27 onwards is the best part. I love the vocals!

[@irradiantsunlight-youtube]

Meshuggah Gaze You must be uneducated

[@quemeck]

Meshuggah Gaze and you must be na idiot homophobic nazi, ass well.

[@jordfl98]

Lukas' vocals give some really uplifting qualities to the music, I just feel kind of inspired when I listen to the album. I feel like the band in general has grown and become more diverse with their music while still sticking to some of their roots. Too tasty/10

[@rks29]

LYRICS: There are a million roads Which lead to the same place The same place It is the means along the way that awakens us So wake me up Perceptions of life Forgive the foes who have turned away Through pride grips vitality and must remain Leave the foundation of which you call home Only to return or forever alone Will we be known forever Forever (Will we be known) Will we be known forever Forever There are a million roads which lead to the same place It is the means along the way that awakens us We are not hopeless Within the unknown Is it us who chose Within the unknown Is it us Within the unknown Is it us who chose Within the unknown Is it us Will we be known forever Forever Will we be known forever Forever Will we be known forever Forever Will we be known forever Forever Within a world I've never known Yet so familiar How could I possibly know Within a world I've never known Have we been chosen Or is it us who chose Within a world I've never known Have we been chosen Or is it us who chose Within a world I've never known Have we been chosen Or is it us who chose Or is it us who chose Perception of life is perception of soul Embrace what's to come We may not live eternally Eternity lies within the unknown Within the unknown

[@mattkeller5913]

Aye thanks for commenting this. Everything about this song is gold

[@cordeliabradshaw343]

Heaven sent mortal ...thank you😂

[@itshopsin3008]

those clean vocals on the chorus are some of the best I've ever heard in metalcore melodical, post, what ever you might call it. GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS LOVE IT

[@andryuu_2000]

Christ it's djent or progressive post hc/metalcore

[@stolenlamp5182]

this album has a lot of melodic hardcore elements that mix so well with its metalcore elements this album is insane

[@TylerHackerJokes]

Best vocals on the CD right here.

[@noahpapafagos6596]

Mikasa I think lol

[@dockness1953]

Noah Papafagos eh no, this right here

[@felipe8511]

man that chorus

[@the12lookslikeyou]

Being an old school VOM fan I've finally sunk into submission and accepted this change. I've grown into it and I actually dig these tracks.

[@TakeOnNE1]

I'm actually really digging this. Especially the ambient shit going on. Such a little thing when bands do it, but it makes a bigger impact than one would imagine.

[@ctbguitar]

I need about tree fiddy

[@pedlumb2435]

***** or watched south park?

[@D.Danko_thall]

Victor Tanguy Did someone say Loch Ness Monster?

[@sacredxgeometry]

fuck, you beat me to it.

[@jacobjefferies-mfam]

D Danko I thought it was a girl scout selling cookies.

[@ctbguitar]

Jacob Jefferies it was then that I realized this girl scout was about 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the paleolithic era.

[@HybridSpektar]

I really don't understand why people hate the new Veil of Maya. If anything, they're better than they were before. They have variation. They're expanding their sound. The music isn't as dark as it was before but so what? That's how you progress as an artist. You do things differently to make yourself a better artist. Of course, no one is going to like it and that's fine. But don't belittle the band and those who actually like what they're doing now simply because you don't like it. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Simple as that.

[@ScottyBelfs]

***** In all fairness though this is a pretty drastic change of sound. It's like if Everytime I die decided to go down a more pop-punk route on their next album or Amon Amarth decided they like playing folk metal; it probably wouldn't go over well with everyone. This also didn't happen gradually either like some bands choose to do. I think that's why you get so many opinionated comments. If someone who has never listened to veil before heard any material from their previous releases and then was shown some of the tracks from this album without being told it was still them they might not even know its the same band. There's lots of things I really don't care for with this change, but there are also other aspects that I can appreciate. I wish more people looked at it that way. Either way, the "vom is dead" comments as well as the "fuck off if you don't like this new sound" comments are both equally as annoying IMO.

[@Clarkzor]

This isn't the equivalent of everytime I die going pop punk or Amon Amarth going to folk metal, those are complete genre changes.... Veil of maya added fucking cleans which definitely doesn't constitute a genre change. Way to exaggerate.

[@ScottyBelfs]

Clarkzor I'm simply using it as an example of a drastic sound change in a band. If you took it as me saying that what veil did is EXACTLY like that then I'm sorry you misunderstood me. I was only using that as an example of a very popular band followed by many people making a change that would alter their sound, which is exactly what veil has done here. Sure they still sound somewhat like veil because obviously marc is still their guitarist and has his own unique sound, but it is still much more than just cleans they added. No need to get worked up over a comment man.

[@HybridSpektar]

***** Piss off

[@Jake-xn4tr]

***** A lot of the sounds on ID and CMC sound the exact same to me, with the frequent djent chugging. I think this is a nice change of pace for a second.

[@xenochrist15]

Had lightning go off outside me window in perfect sync to that breakdown at 2:53. Audio dope, lemme tell ya.

[@jakefrye5285]

Haha nice!

[@mattkeller5913]

Ngl I straight up didn't hear the drummer in that until just now. I keep expecting it to play again every time and hit harder but that bass is siiick

[@AbsoIutBass]

THIS SONG HELPED ME GET SOBER

[@sukaenacornelius9285]

It didn’t help me. But I got bad sick, migraine, fatigue and weakness for week. Never had in my life. I had drank heavily everyday for the past 3 years. I had tried drinking, but it all came out. After that, my sickness just kept me laid up, even too lazy to go to store, drugged myself up just to barely hang at work. But no way i could drink. My sickness lasted about 10 days. I just stopped. After my sickness ended, i never felt better. I finally cleaned all the trash from my room, felt comfortable to actually come outside my room and watch TV with my mom, i talk more and communicate more at work. I was down bad. Hadn’t showered in months, my room looked like dumpster, my car was dumpster too. That sickness helped me. Now, I can’t even stand the thought of consuming alcohol. Atleast the particular kind I drank. Best of all, I enjoy music more. Like this awesome song.

[@cfmetal]

I was absolutely wrong not to give this album a chance. I mean sure it's different, but this is MARC OKUBO we're talking about here. I apologize good sir! The sheer fact that there's a subtle bit of Jenova's theme in this turned me. FF7 is my favorite game ever. Well done

[@jennimalave8096]

Definitely one of the best on the album. Well done, VoM.

[@paulovictorlopes9893]

Banda incrível! Som pesado na medida certa!

[@frigid.999]

2:15 reminds me of CHON I love it :')

[@fusiend]

withintheruins92 That tempo change tho. ...then that riff that transitions it back.

[@MichalsonCZ]

+start/end You are right! :-))

[@JB_mtb-oi4vi]

Marc’s an incredible guitarist, his skill makes this track.

[@seven-7-s]

Where has this vocalist been hiding all this time?

[@Austinfright]

In a band called Arms Of Empire

[@seven-7-s]

Interesting. I'll have to take a peek

[@whitesatin868]

Right!

[@nickbuss1124]

im close with Arms of Empire! check them out armsofempire.bandcamp.com/

[@coreyballenger5600]

Sorry but in my opinion, as a whole, this is their best album. They've grown and opened up more as musicians. There is still heaviness all over the place if you really listen, they've just added so much more musicality.

[@TheWitness369]

Corey Ballenger I agree man. Sure they can play ball to the wall and try to be the heaviest band..but that's not what makes a band. Now they have so much more emotion in the music. Reach all or don't reach at all \m/

[@xhristhdraw1735]

Because the new vocalist ... I am so sure.

[@coughwheezeexplode]

fuck all that, Eclipse was the best technically. Although this vocalist is amazing, the lyrics are just so fucking lame and boring honestly. I rate all of it, but Eclipse was the best

[@mattkeller5913]

@@coughwheezeexplode I mean there's way more freedom of writing in Deathcore instrumentally and lyrically so it comes down to preference. Eclipse and this are incomparable and in my mind equal. That said Punisher and Mowgli are forever my favorites by them.

[@yongbky6133]

1:11 IM CRYING ♥️😭1:27 OMGGGGG ♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏

[@mikevl4493]

Became a Veil of Maya fan after this album. Has EVERYTHING.

[@blink7777777]

Me too. Love it

[@XxBengie517xX]

I love old Veil of Maya, and I love new Veil of Maya. This album is so beautiful! I understand people's disappointment, and though I do miss the old sound, this is pretty great.

[@newspaperlightbulb]

Fuck. Me. I LOVE this album.

[@Zarthian]

Not going to lie i was in complete fear of this release, and letting go of my nostalgic tie to the common man's collapse , but this album is absolutely beautiful in every fucking way. Forever bowing in VoM's aura \m/

[@alumpofcoal]

Periphery, Erra, Veil of Maya, Invent Animate. If this tour came to Colorado next year I think I could die happy.

[@Sojk65a]

[@AltezzaDrifter]

Those bells at 2:43, though... :D It's the small things that count.

MehsterChief that's a Piano man haha, but yeah, it's an awesome little melody and section

[@Veilings]

I can't get enough of the cleans in this song. God damn.

[@cozymotohigh4452]

seriously so good. this album made me fall back in love with this band all over again

[@HamsterWheelGaming]

Decent song, I rate tree fiddy out of five

[@kenmann8161]

[@natecharles1368]

This song still slap.

[@logie2144]

This and Lucy are definitely my favorites among the unreleased, great work guys #VEILHASRISEN

[@The0fail0wears0prada]

I'm in love with this album!

[@jakestewart6024]

this album has more than lived up to expectations . this is already my favorite album released so far this year.

[@genesisdelaluz5360]

They still sound heavy af with "cleans" tf are people complaining about , this album is badass

[@mattkeller5913]

I mean I hate people that say this not even gonna lie. Go listen to Eclipse. That's the band people complaining fell in love with. Totally viable opinion to not like the change to metalcore from deathcore but as a fan of both this band is just insane honestly pulling off both so well

[@Stickmanzed]

SO pumped to see these guys tomorrow!

[@SingSkateScream]

Three-fifty? That must be how much this track is worth :D Great shit guys, this is one of the last tracks I checked out and it's Definitely one of the favs as well. Good shit on this album veil!!! Longest wait ever but it was well worth it! Glad you guys took the time with the blood sweat and tears. Cheers !

[@Ishimotoyuu]

This song makes me feel: "Life is an adventure!"May try to pursue their own potential!

[@watchthisbs9049]

They are really fuckin good at creating an all around atmosphere of sounds. Those intros really pull you in too. Catchy shit.

[@ChrisBurke-i3t]

This song doesnt describe anything for me but to keep pushin on

[@sour3000]

This is legit beautiful. Wow.

[@michaelkresner8739]

They sound like periphery now. Which is not a bad thing at all it is amazing actually. Also, Spencer helped produce these vocals. The new clean vocals give some depth to this already great band. I don't get why people are hating on tis change when there is enough screaming to go around. I'm glad they're progressing and not staying similar and stale

[@xThatEquestrianx]

I was honestly expecting to be disappointed by the clean vocals, but i actually like them.

[@arssejonarf7559]

And people say they suck cause they're now different and when a band stays the same people would say "oh its boring they have the same sound since the first album" look how arrogant people are well for me i have been listening veil of maya for a while and not much in following them but i heard their past songs and differentiate theirs now in my opinion their sound has been improved also matured with their new vocalist i know their on the right track and this made me like them again

[@中田ヤスタカ-e4f]

I have reported your threat to me to youtube and the police. you will learn your lesson dumbass! now it's your turn to watch out. Threatening is a crime! moron

[@puiyes]

2020 I still listen to this song.

[@gh0stmasta]

Ok, let me first off say that i absolutely love this album. Every song is great and have listened to it all the way through since i bought the physical copy multiple times. The 1 thing that jumps out at me after every song as the album goes on, is that each song sounds like a different current band, weather it be the vocal melodies, the guitar melodies, the structure, or even the guitar tone. Throughout this album, all im hearing is combinations of Chon, Periphery, and Polyphia with VOM's playstyle mixed in with that. In no way am i against feeding off other bands (which i don't even know if this was done intentionally, probably not). But to me, it is just painfully obvious whats been done here, and if you find yourself completely blind to what im trying to say, make sure you fully understand the style and sound of the 3 bands that i listed. Not trying to get flamed so if you disagree, at least post something with some intellectual value in response. Thank you
