WATAIN - The Child Must Die (ALBUM TRACK)

WATAIN - The Child Must Die (ALBUM TRACK). Taken from the album "The Wild Hunt". Century Media 2013. smarturl.it/Watain-TWH-CMD
THE CHILD MUST DIE
Ageless
Though merely a child
Tall has grown thy shadow
For every sun must set
Eventually
And every child of fire
Must die to be free
Far beyond the grace of god
The tiny tomb's prepared
"LIBERATUS EST"
The silent stone declares
Pluck now the rose, the child must die
Pluck now the rose and leave it on my grave to dry
In sackcloth and ash, so let us mourn
In sackcloth and ash, sleeps the newborn
The fear of change is the fear of Death
That fear is the pain and the pain is the wreath
of thorns now placed upon thy brow
A twisted cross 'neath which burden we all must bow
For you my child, comes the cursed
phantom carriage, alas, the hearse
Follow I must not, this ride is only meant for you
Ever dark lay the lands you're going to
In the belly of Moloch, the child must burn
Into the fires, it must return
Mind not the tears, the child must die
Release the self, Strangle the I
Pluck now the rose, the child must die
Never to know, the reason why
Mad burn the fires, so dies the child
Bittersweet, the fumes shall rise

This is very relaxing music to me. Great song.

[@trommnorse]

I'm in love already... This is going to be the genre's upgrade.

[@homesless]

Beautiful. Thank you, Watain. Makes many of my worries go away, as with all of your work.

every time I do concept artwork, this song hypes me up

[@sewerslidemg]

that's what's up,

[@JackieNihil]

I love Watain's new album! This song is amazing.

[@brianmclaffin]

I'm Blown away. This is AMAZING!

[@jacobelliott3835]

This song should be the theme of planned parenthood.

[@PrincessAirin]

Hahahahajajaajajajajaja best comment in the worldly world

[@ProstituteCorpse]

Great track, the two songs from THE WILD HUNT has been real surprises for me. It's great to hear them evolve and make something that sounds new and fresh. No point in remaking the same music over and over. Really looking forward to their new album!

[@TrevorShredder]

Absolutely incredible! I can't wait to hear the rest of the record!

[@gstrdms]

i always say young musicians make dense music because they want to cram all these ideas and energy into one project, the first might always be the last, when you're at watains current level, u can breathe more with every note, you can explore intricacies and subtleties, and this is much more rich in later albums than earlier ones, even tho the surface material might seem more simple. open your ears.

[@alexzepeda216]

MY FAVORITE SONG OF 2013!

[@mindkrawler2886]

Anti-Cosmic Art is achieving levels that they must prepare to embrace a wider audience, this is not selling out, but delivering a divine message to the world. I'm sure some people just listen to the music, but this is truly Occult Art revealing the lawless spirit and true nature to man. Look at what TOTBL is doing with IXAXAAR, it's all a lot bigger than selling out some musical style, which in itself is illusion.

[@myplague12]

E of Watain toured with Dissection as their bassist at one point, and, judging by interviews with him, had a rather close relationship with Dissections vocalist, Jon Nodtveidt. Not to mention Watain and Dissection shared very similar spiritual beliefs.

[@kor9]

Incredible track! Can't wait for the album!

[@h.ludwig7269]

Really enjoying the new tracks Watain has bestowed up us! Hail!

[@justinschmidt3232]

This is a relief. I thank you, Watain. I'm rid of the burdensome child once within me.

[@TheGrav666]

I agree. They definitely took many cues and influences from Reinkaos. Some of the riffs in this song sound eerily familiar. Reinkaos is one of my favorite albums of the genre, so i'm quite happy I finally have something that equals it, if not surpasses it.

[@dtmasters]

The moment you make music to impress others... you will fail..this is stunning.

[@jonasoberg5270]

3:48 😈👍

[@TheGreyApex]

Wow they are a lot more melodic. I'm digging it :)

[@abyrbathory9253]

Am i the only one to find this Track better Than All that may Bleed,The riffs just feed the void within me & the constant hunger to breath through darkness...

[@sickor666]

Good tune can't wait for the album.

[@richiegettler2698]

Watain are my favorite black metal today!I got sworn to the dark in 2008or so,and that was a considerable amount of metal for my buck.

[@captweirdbeard]

Interesting direction they're taking here. Not at all what I'd expect from Watain, but props to them for challenging their sound. It'll be interesting to hear the rest of the album.

[@Black666Burzum]

It's going to be a great album as always watain is one of the best black metal bands out there this moment the music the lyrics just unique support them!!

[@ryanapple1111]

I haven't been a WATAIN fan for nearly as long as most people in here but even I get it. Its not about simply being black metal like everyone else. Its a story, a chronicle, they have dug through the depths of the earth with vicious brutal metal, and now that they've come up top they can spread their wings with a much more vibrant and full sound of glory. Its not the peak, its not even a change, its the sound of celebration. I hear it, can you?

[@truenorsk]

it reminds me a little bit of the change from dissection ( from storm of the lights bane to reinkaos ) . its a big step from sworn to the dark and lawless darkness to this tune. but still it's wonderful!!!

[@JackieNihil]

Totally awesome!

[@sadomasokistik]

this is sooo good!

[@ahemka1]

Non-musicians may be aware of this too. But you're totally right :)

[@kahahabahaha]

Never heard of this band before (I think), but I like. This is good..

[@montrasaur]

It is definitely a new sound. These new tracks don't sound like anything they have done before. Not sure how I feel about it yet. But I can't wait to see what else is in store. Watain has only failed to do one thing since their first album; disappoint me.

[@PaulMathletics]

PS plus, it maintains that typical Watain feel all over...each time they have a new record out, I still shit my pants in fear. cheers !!!!

[@IHazMuffinzX]

Love this!

[@PestTeufelApokalypse]

up to the half this song is progressing into aaaawesome!

[@kristaz]

awesome picture!

[@davidrich860]

this is great when it hits the time 3:50 its like a 3 min solo but you will here something similar in dimmu's new album watch the dimmu trailer for the new album when shag does the solo. but regardless watain a temple to be untouched.

[@vikt1m1337]

I like it. Sound like the melodic songs from early Dissection.

[@danielreamer8382]

it would be hilarious if somebody started blasting this in a daycare center or a nursery or something like that

[@KptnHaddock_]

That's what I thought :D Warms my heart...

[@Stirbschon]

love it! and it's the same with all the people that complained about dissection and their style change...its great music, it doesnt matter if its super fast or aggressive or melodic. if it touches your soul, its authentic! fuck the world, hail watain!

[@sewerslidemg]

wow if u look at the top of pic the people on the fringe are being killed and thrown off, it's been years just noticed

[@andydaley5418]

Two songs released from the new album so far! This and 'All That May Bleed' and both are fucking incredible \m/

[@PaulMathletics]

totally agree...even though it doesnt really seem THAT simple on the couple of tracks I heard...on the contrary..it has that ''prog'' feel that later Enslaved records have...quality songwriting I hear!!!

[@thesilentfilmographe]

I don't get why people don't like it. I read the comments and then spent the whole track waiting to hear something that sounded bad, but it didn't come. The people complaining about this have listened to their latest album, right? Because this stuff is pretty much the same as something you'd hear on Lawless Darkness. If, on the other hand, you're someone who listened to L.D. and complained it, and are now going to start complaining about this then *points* there's the door.

[@alex2318garcia]

All hail Watain

[@Trialbyfire.coaching]

whatever take in what you can, this is pure emotion

[@StevensBorowsky]

Never found too much substance in Watain. Saw them live and so forth. And although I admire that they're trying to do what they're doing, it definitely is missing that power that seemed to reside in the Dissection songs. Here's to hoping they improve though. I mean, that said, if I dedicated all my time to doing something like this, I doubt I'd be doing better.

[@91stinger]

black metal at its finest! Good job Watain, good job! \m/

[@nicktaxidermy]

I love those eerie leads.

[@StevensBorowsky]

Yes myplague is correct. Also, "Set," the guitarist who played for Dissection after Jon was released from prison, plays for Watain. Watain was inspired by Jon's music in Dissection. Jon single handedly was Dissection, and he presumably introduced these people to the chaos gnostic religion and books, otherwise I doubt there would be a Watain. They're trying to connect with a certain "current" through channeling, ritual, and the music. But they haven't stood up to the Dissection standard.

[@darkgnome666]

If you don't the physical copy you can preorder it from iTunes Store ;)

Soo good! 🤘

so good

[@expeditoandrade7934]

sensacional !!

[@Azjerth]

great song

[@MANNY100123]

Awesome!

I like heavy metal in the morning it's may 20th Chris tremper.

[@021Sweden]

AWESOME BAND !!

[@mattsanchez7432]

I hear a lot of late-Bathory era in this, I definitely dig the song

[@lauraelm3460]

I fucking love this song , 100% my favourite by Watain

[@metalkoffe]

yeh you're so underground and cool man!

[@Loathera]

Its quite a bit different from their previous songs in a good way. Interesting direction of progression they're talking

[@EpicSaxGuyIzDukeNukm]

Glad to see someone who thinks like me

[@Seanus32]

It bears a certain similarity to Ancient, their Swedish brethren. Close to Proxima Centauri. That's a VG thing btw!!

[@ApostolisSMRCZamparas]

Do you even read my comment? I meant this has influences from Dissection and i hope the disc in general has more.

[@HolocaustDrums]

Mi canción preferida junto con el tema homónimo del album

[@AMMITDEVOURER]

0:28 to 0:58 sounds like power metal or something similar. Anyway, I like the song.

[@MrBigred1970]

Very well-said.

[@FLIPPITYFLOOP]

Sorry I must ask, not in a mocking form but out of geniune interest, what exactly is the connection between Watain and Dissection? I hear all of these comparisons and people talk as if they shared members but I don't recall them being connected

[@deaddreath]

go and pre order it in your local music store!!

[@sinnerpagano]

excelente \m/

[@nestoravalosofficialblackarts]

sounds like a new Dissection's "REINKAOS" - total ad a great piece - evolution it's just for the superior being- even life dictates the eradication of the old dogmas, everything changes, everything evolve, everything rise from theirselves

[@RiteanDan]

I like the this new album. It's not my favourite, but a decent release. I don't understand people who want the same record over and over again. The last Lunar Aurora album that came out last year sounded nothing like what I was expecting, but kinda grew on me anyway. At least Watain still never went the way Dimmu did, (though I must say I like their side projects much better!).

[@shidder_mutt]

God fucking speed and fuck the new Bladerunner.

[@strikerdiego]

would love to know your opinion on ACDC and Motorhead

[@LordNightmarek]

For the Watain style - they are part of the 218 current. And as for every musician, for them the most important is to write the music they like. If someone thinks it is shit - ok. But he should just realize than they don't write only for him. Hail true Watain! \m/

[@strikerdiego]

finally someone that knows what is talkng about!

[@crusader__aut7165]

another Masterpiece... Hail!

[@yesterdayspaper]

this reminds me of Reinkaos. Sweet.

[@trommnorse]

What bands do you listen to?

[@bh3009]

That picture is awesome; if you look towards the middle there are a couple of those people that look like they're turned the other way, like "fuck this shit, I'm out!"

[@brianmclaffin]

Really amazing song from a killer band.

[@rustcosta]

great tune, relevand black metal here. WHERE IS THAT PICTURE FROM?

[@williansantos8535]

his voice sounds like Darkthrone in 'too old and too cold'

[@thegrimreaper18102]

First time hearing them.. sounds fucking awesome.

[@FLIPPITYFLOOP]

Well I wouldn't expect them to live up to Dissection's standard, because they're two different bands with different songwriters. I can understand why they're associated, but many people seem to compare the two as if they are the same band releasing a giant catalog which is not the case. The two bands are still different and I don't think they should sound the same. They should live up to their own standards, not those of another band, no matter how closely knit they are.

[@connorallen5473]

Even Erik has said that they take influence from Dissection and Bathory and put their own twist on it. And how is thinking that Casus is the best being a poser? If you like it, you like it.

[@TheClaudirock]

thanks / m /

[@Graveoffeces666]

I did, it was from that film how I got into their music in the first place. All I really got out of the film besides the great music was just erik or whoever was speaking stating how he was into mythology and was in contrast to some other shittier bands more dedicated to his artwork. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention to get what or what is so unique about the 'essence of watain'.

[@metalhead666818]

Now this is what you call frosty :)

[@ultimatedeathmetal1]

In wide parts it sounds like Dissection, - their last album (forgot the title). Classic Heavy Metal mixed with clean Black Metal.

[@ApostolisSMRCZamparas]

Den katalabes exei epirroes apo Dissection.Kai elpizw to album na exei perissoteres. :P

[@TheScumbag]

So much Dissection Influence in this song!

[@Graveoffeces666]

Really? Thanks brah!

[@toastwafflezx]

There is no one official numerology formula, there are a plethora of numerological systems, even just within the tradition of Gematria, there are so many different schools of thought and a lot of methodologies, it's quite possible they were just using a different system.

[@goatritual666]

what's that photo?scene from some old movie?

[@Seanus32]

Fantastic. Down with the haters!
