I'm so very heartbroken that Ithaca is playing their last show. This band carried me through a ton and holds a special place with me forever. Keep us updated on future projects.
they deserved to catch on in a much bigger way than they did for sure. incredible jams and always had such a great aesthetic flair to everything they did. wish i could have caught them live.
this entire album feels like if killswitch engage formed recently and made an album in today's metalcore scene. genuinely fucking PHENOMENAL, especially that insane breakdown, good lord. hoping to god ithaca reach killswitch big soon, especially with a project this good.
Absolutely incredible song, and the art direction of the video is so, so strong. Clean vocals sound amazing as well - so stoked; cannot wait for the album.
Wow. Song is killer. I’m also scratching my head about how they filmed some of these beautiful shots. Especially where everyone is moving in slow motion but she is singing the words in normal time. Also the guitar solo his movements are at a different speed then this playing??? I have no idea how they shot that.. but holy shit it’s cool
Yeah that’s pretty much spot on. Djamila was singing 3x normal speed for the chorus and we shot it at 75fps. So then playing it back at 25fps she’s normal speed and the band are 1/3 speed. She nailed it. The steadicam move and focus pull took a few takes, but we got there. The guitar solo is indeed essentially the opposite technique. Stoked that people like yourselves are enjoying the video and noticing the shots we went all-out on to try to make look as awesome as possible. 🙏
@@paulcooke2070 that is absolutely great work! Super interesting. Might I ask, when on set and doing the miming of the performance… what version was playing? Was she singing to a 3x version, or was the band playing to the normal version.. or did they have both going at the same time to in-ears or something. Or is it two takes comped? It seriously blows my mind how you pulled this off. I love the music but this video made me stop and say.. “holy shit.. who was the film crew on this” the energy and emotion that those varying speed shots and focus pulls create is astounding!
@@ericswearingenmusic9967 🙏 Thanks! ☺️ I don’t want to give tooooo much detail of how we did it, ha, but nothing is comped. It’s all in-camera. Same for the bleeding crown and gravity shift for the spitting blood shot. We made a call to lean into practical effects rather than digital, to maintain a subtle 70s feel to run with the aesthetic of the album art.
While I was perusing the Culture section of today's Guardian online news site, I came upon a review of this band's new album.. HELL YEAH!!! WOW!! New fan right here 😎
I just found this band and the first song I heard was “Hold, Be Held” so I do not expect this when I clicked on this video. Holy shit! A very pleasant surprise 🤟🏽

When your mom, her new boyfriend, and his friends from work try to connect with your interests, then shred way harder than you could ever hope to
this is erotic
If you Google them, she looks so much younger than in this video, it's weird
Age is no restriction for good taste.
1 year ago, you won the internet with this comment.
Guitarist with the glasses understood the assignment when it comes to making a video

Metalcore today sucks
New favorite band! Been having this album on repeat for over a week!
I’ve had this song on repeat for days now, how I missed this gem I don’t know but I can’t get enough.
Just discovered this band thanks to Nik Nocturnal and wow, I've been missing out. This is AWESOME.
Absolutely incredible song, and the art direction of the video is so, so strong. Clean vocals sound amazing as well - so stoked; cannot wait for the album.
Glasses on a chain. I'm back on point.
Oh my godddd thank you Kerrang for posting these 🤌🏻
Very complex. Sounds like 4 different genres clashing and I’m here for it
Bow to your blood
Your queen and your god
Bow to the end of
Everything you love
🙌🤘🖤
Quite the synthesis of vastly different cultures, styles, and genres; I like it!
This is a 10/10. PLEASE keep making music.
lost count the amount of times I shouted "Holy shit!" while watching this. flawless.
I slept on this album until last night and I'm so sorry, I'm seeing why it's people's album of the year. It's so fucking good.
They're at Louder Than Life this year and its gonna be insane!
Man I was crate digging and this was playing. Bought it immediately. First time I heard it and love it.
Incredible banger! the album is really good 🤘💥
Best filmclip in years...
Somehow stumbled on this band through bandcamp. So good. Bought the 12" immediately.
Thanks! Wonderful! Love this shit! Amazing band.
Wow. This is just a work of art.
ONWARD TO 200K
Nik nocturnal sent me here and I couldn't be more happy.
Certified hood classic
Can’t. Stop. Listening to this.
My mans playing the solo is everything
This is a greatest thing I've heard for a long time
I'm in love with this band, just discovered them🖤

On set she was singing (2x?) faster than the the rest, guitar solo was played much slower #spoileralert ;)
@@JasperToeli figured it was something like that.. but god damm that would be hard lol

Fuck yes. Not only a fuckin slap but the video was really well done. I need more Ithaca.

Dont know how I missed this but better a little late than never! absolutely obsessed, incredible!!🧡
Flipping the script.... sounds awesome
Lord that was brutal... Loved literally everything about this completely sick tune 🤘😝🤘
SICK! Love it
For me this sounds like if deftones made a hard-core album and I am SO coming along for the ride!!!
I think Moodring really fits that description better than these guys do, tbh. Not that these guys aren't good in their own right.
clean chorus totally gives me deftones vibes
@@forgetnumberone3335that opening riff sounds something from Stephen
HARD
I think i love her!
PERFECTION
This goes so hard. Good stuff!
