I'm thrilled I stumbled across this tonight. Billy Howerdel's talent was brought to my attention once I dove head-first into A Perfect Circle. But now, here on his own, doing his own thing? I'm beyond floored, and excited for music again like I haven't been in a long time. Grateful for serendipitous wanderings on RUclips lae at night. I've traveled from Highly Suspect, to Lorna Shore, and landed on solo Billy Howerdel. Great night, indeed.
David Lynch vibes in the visuals & music. Lost Highway-esque. This music is so great. I am absolutely thrilled regarding the audio direction Billy is moving in his solo work.
This is one of the those songs as a massive music fan I wish I had wrote. I just feel it. It's weird, haunting and beautifully done. Incredibly, this guy is still peaking.
Howerdel's talent has exploded into something fantastic and intense. I liked Ashes Divide... but I fucking love this album. It sounds like a smash up evolution of Robert Smith and Dave Gahan. Not to mention how fucking awesome this music video is.
I love the haunting vibe and mood of this song. ❤ I listen to it quite often, when I’m not distracted by the noise of mundane chores in my dailies. It begs and deserves those moments of quiet where you can fully appreciate all the nuances, not when you’re out in the car running around to pick up the kids n groceries. This is no background music kind of song. ❤😎✌️
It's absolutely awesome. Reminds me of the first time i ever heard APC . I was 12 or 13 and Judith was out on the radio as a new single. I had my walkman on and was listening to local radio station when that song came on. I had to sit down. No choice but to surrender to the gravity of the song. This is arresting and holds heavy to the lungs the perfect amount of respiratory depression /pressure/exhales for euphoria.
@@adammichael9759 I felt the same after hearing Judith for the first time.. powerful song in both lyrics and melody. It commands the absolute attention of the listener. I actually needed a moment when I heard it. The back story of the song is also a powerful statement from Maynard and his view of his Mother’s unwavering faith. 😎
I haven't been enthused about anything new in the music world for a while but this Billy Howerdel sounds very good, cool and fresh and I think I'm going to catch his concert next month.
This is something!!! It evokes such familiar feelings in a way I've never felt before... Sound transitions and choice of melody and progression is interesting yet so damn satisfying.
This still has that APC esque sound to it in a way, but almost completely different. It's difficult to put into words, but I dig it. Can't wait for the album drop
@@derrikshirley7888 lol I love Maynard, and when I first heard APC, I fell in love all over again. I sound gay, but I adore that man's voice. I've seen Tool, and Puscifer live, and always in VIP... Puscifer is an amazing band
I like the symbolism & iconography, Mr. Howerdel; very seductive sounds meet visual artistry... well executed timepiece. 💿 #WhatNormalWas 💿is off to an amazing start, in its journey to bloom. ⚜️ C.W. ⚜️
Act Two: The Next Stage You're slow like star rise Almost unnoticed Pulling out the arsenal Confidentiality thrown out with the ability to see any trust Maybe just some thrust Might as well just give you a pet name Build and idolize you The new you The part that couldn't see trust Your confidentiality within me Like moonset Asleep, needing to going unnoticed Passively keeping me guessing Like starlight, vague on the horizon You're not, that slick Trails left behind like old memories Pieces and bits Throwing out stolen and repurposed confidentiality My own arsenal depleting me
😳.......😲 Now that's what we need. New great music. The entire song is produced so perfectly. Billy is the man. I hear post Emotive APC mixed with NIN mixed with all things great lol
This is pretty wonderful all the way around🖤 Sounds amazing and the visuals tell a pretty cool story. Can’t wait to hear more🖤 As always, from one of your biggest fans:)
I wanna go to your show upcoming near me , Please release full album for sale- Would be cool to know your songs at the show. cheers and nice work. "edit" Im an idiot it is for sale on your site. Buying now. See you In Ventura.
God damn this song is good it reminded me of tool, a perfect circle and a little bit fuel. This is awesome and I can't wait till he gets more recognition.
I enjoyed this tremendously. I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan of your style on eMOTIVe aMOTIOn but by yourself and allowed to be 100% you, I really really dig this. Looking forward to more.
This song is 🔥!! So damn good. I really wish they would of brought this dark sound to the last APC album. Not sure why they changed the formula for that dirty and dark music. Glad he brought it back with this Solo work! Cannot wait to see you open for Puscifer @ The Greek.

You should look up Ashes Divide if you haven't heard them. His solo project from 2008. Great album
Love this. A bit of Depeche, a little Bowie, a little NIN... looking forward to the whole album
And a little derrivative
that's exactly what i thought
Some of Massive Attack
Let's not forget about A Perfect Circle....more of Emotive sounding APC
@@thelosttoolman I was thinking "Pet" off of Thirteenth Step.
Haven't heard real music ...LIKE THIS... that has made me feel this way in a really long time...
Wow, what a breath of fresh air that was SO damn needed! Billy is a musical treasure and I love him and his talent so much!
I love the atmosphere he creates
David Lynch vibes in the visuals & music. Lost Highway-esque.

Flattered. Thank you !
@@billyhowerdel123 And thank you for sharing your talents!
Billy hasnt even BEGUN to peak.
@@billyhowerdel123 bro you dont disapoint.I am blown away by your AWESOME talent! I want to hear everything you got so get producing.
For all fans of Billy Howerdel, this is a MUST watch/listen. APC Is such a phenomenal band, but for me it’s all eyes on Billy 😎✌️
Billy is a master of creating dark atmosphere
Now, this is the kind of music I need through my veins.
Everything about this song is perfection. So good. Headphones are a must. 🔥
Howerdel's talent has exploded into something fantastic and intense.
I liked Ashes Divide...
but I fucking love this album.
It sounds like a smash up evolution of Robert Smith and Dave Gahan.
Not to mention how fucking awesome this music video is.
That BASS!! Wooooooooow!!! If all of the project has at least 20% of this quality, that would be enough to make it a collection of bangers.

This is arresting and holds heavy to the lungs
the perfect amount of respiratory depression

for euphoria.
With an ethereal haunting calmness

@@adammichael9759 yes ..I love the ethereal vibe with this song ..I find some similarities with Depeche Mode but more cerebral😎✌️

Summerfest?
Billy Howerdel can even sing!
This wakes my Inner Goth 🖤😁
Thanks Billy for rejuvenating my long neglected dark side 🎶
What an atmosphere, Billie's music and a beautiful ethereal voice is everything!🖤Also, I want this man's skincare routine 😂 He does not age at all.
This is something!!!
It evokes such familiar feelings in a way I've never felt before...

What an awesome solo album. Embrace the darkness!!! Great music & lyrics Billy. Thx so much for this 🙏🤘🏻🥁🎹🎤🎸🎼🎼🎼🧨💥🧨💥🧨💥 DynoMite!
Album is fantastic. Love this.
Am ecstatic to see Billy out again with more music 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
So DARK and l love it so much
I've been waiting for this since ashes divide. Awesome!!!
Exactly !!
Yeah like 15 years
My new favourite song. Been looking for some amazing new music and here it is. Thanks Billy!
This drumer is groovy , love it
Mr Josh Freese! ;)
It's like Depeche Mode and APC had a child with who I'm sharing a joint.
Love it, Billy is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO talented 😀👍
Amazing song. This is what drew me to A Perfect Circle in the first place. I wish we could get this vibe there again.
totally hearing the depeche mode/martin gore influence!! sounds really good
Video directed and edited by Rizz from Vowws makes it that much greater 🖤👏👏
Nice.
Oh god, this is amazingly beautiful!
Oh my god, I'm so looking forward to the rest of the album!
This still has that APC esque sound to it in a way, but almost completely different. It's difficult to put into words, but I dig it. Can't wait for the album drop
Really goes to show how much of APC's sound and feel can be credited to him.
@@Cleverconveyence Oh yeah, absolutely. APC is his band, for sure. Everyone thinks it's Maynard's band... it's not, it's all from Billy
@@Brandon84J Right? Now, if only Maynard could find a band or two to front, his life would be complete.
@@derrikshirley7888 lol I love Maynard, and when I first heard APC, I fell in love all over again. I sound gay, but I adore that man's voice. I've seen Tool, and Puscifer live, and always in VIP... Puscifer is an amazing band
@@Brandon84J its not. Every band members together forms a band. How Can band be any1's?
Feels like there are a lot of good ideas in this song.
That base line🤤🤤
That tone and that heavy pick attack make me wet lol
This is giving me 90s vibe and I like it 😎
Love the darkness of this song 🖤
Envoûtant. Merci Billy 🖤
Facts have been shredded, it’s too hard to find the truth
Search for those Angels I cast out before I knew
real af
Drums are recalling me MM's "Mechanical Animals". Love it.
This is amazing. This will be on replay a lot
🖤🥀Chills🥀🖤 Absolute love & respect for you & this song.
Great mix of sounds here. Love it.🖤
Been waiting since Ashes Divide for more from him. Excited for new music! Presaved!
Killer music, sir. Thank you from one who's sick of what's been offered lately on the music scene.
More!
Nice very nice
😍 great track.
Cant wait for more! 🤘🔥🤘
Thankyou. For all that you do
I like the symbolism & iconography, Mr. Howerdel; very seductive sounds meet visual artistry... well executed timepiece. 💿 #WhatNormalWas 💿is off to an amazing start, in its journey to bloom. ⚜️ C.W. ⚜️
Only Billy Howerdel can inhabit that dark and sinister part of you and make something so damn beautiful. An absolute master at work.
Awesome. I can hear a Depeche Mode influence.
I couldn’t click fast enough! Nice track! Will be preordering ! Thanks!
Congrats Billy, you did it!
If Massive Attack and Depeche Mode had a badass baby…..
😍👏🏻
Now you have to keep the promise and come to Rome❤❤❤🇮🇹
I will do my part, you let your local promoter know you want a show.
I’m 50% Italian so it’s a big deal for me.
AMazing
This is NICE.
This song is spooky as hell
Wonderful song. A great trip. ✨
Feels of APC. Those guitars. Thats what was missing from Eat the Elephant. Awesome Billy.
Act Two: The Next Stage
You're slow like star rise
Almost unnoticed
Pulling out the arsenal
Confidentiality thrown out with the ability to see any trust
Maybe just some thrust
Might as well just give you a pet name
Build and idolize you
The new you
The part that couldn't see trust
Your confidentiality within me
Like moonset
Asleep, needing to going unnoticed
Passively keeping me guessing
Like starlight, vague on the horizon
You're not, that slick
Trails left behind like old memories
Pieces and bits
Throwing out stolen and repurposed confidentiality
My own arsenal depleting me
BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE THIS!!
Fuck yes! Holy hell this is a killer track! Hungry for more for sure! Looking forward, man. Congrats!
😳.......😲 Now that's what we need. New great music. The entire song is produced so perfectly. Billy is the man. I hear post Emotive APC mixed with NIN mixed with all things great lol
I just pre-saved album on spotify - can't wait!
NICE!!!!!!! Will definitely be following for more!!!
Bellissimo
Cannot wait! Hope it's as good as Mer De Noms without all the ego
Huh?
Ego?

Love the entire album!!!
Definitely feeling Celldweller influence in those verse arrangements!
Incredible
great ❤
It's been a long time since I've heard Billy's voice from Ashes Divide.
The Maynard influence on his vocal style is undeniable. Amazing!
Would, this is awesome 💓🙏
Found you💔😢🎯
I can't stop listening to the new album! It's incredible!
🥂 MY MUSIC WILL BLOW UP ONE DAY.
A lot of Porcupine Tree in this too! I love it!!!!
Услада для ушей 😌👍
Cool!
I get a lot of super dark Vola here. Really good!
God damn this song is good it reminded me of tool, a perfect circle and a little bit fuel. This is awesome and I can't wait till he gets more recognition.
He is the guitarist from a perfect circle so that makes sense xD
@@Slodsworth yup I felt silly reading my own comment. I didn't know that when I started listening to the music.🦃 Whoops, I gobble.
I enjoyed this tremendously. I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan of your style on eMOTIVe aMOTIOn but by yourself and allowed to be 100% you, I really really dig this. Looking forward to more.
This is so cool 🍄

Nice!
D@MN Billy... This is F@cking Killer!!! I need more!!! What's next!?
Amazing 🔥
Cool ⭐⭐⭐
I dig it 👍👍
Guitar World brought me here.
Esto suena a Puscifer!! Is good
Reminds me of "Pet" off 13th Step
This song is 🔥!! So damn good. I really wish they would of brought this dark sound to the last APC album. Not sure why they changed the formula for that dirty and dark music. Glad he brought it back with this Solo work! Cannot wait to see you open for Puscifer @ The Greek.
Beautiful - This is what I was hoping for the last APC. Been waiting for something like this for nearly 20 years now!
