It's literally the Stillworld vibe. I wish more people could appreciate their older stuff too UPD: since this comment expectedly blew up, I want to use this opportunity to tell more people, "Stop living the lie, existing just because you can..." Whoever reading this - if you are new to Invent Animate, and all you have heard from them is "Heavener" or "The Sun Sleeps, As if it never was", please do yourself a great favor and dive into their whole discography!! You'd better respect your surroundings:D
Everchanger and Stillworld are both gems. Half-life and Luna are complete masterpieces, and Heavener and Everchanger are actually both in my top 5 favorite albums of all-time. Really shows how talented and creative this band is. Ben was incredible, but Marcus has brought this band to a whole other level with his phenomenal voice. I just cherish every song these amazing dudes release.
@@ihaveafettfetish9348 Exactly! It's important to cherish them because they do really deserve it a lot. Since this year it is gonna be a 10-year anniversary of Everchanger, I hope they have Ben back on a feature or something. It would be legendary 🙈
I’m gonna say False Meridian is my favorite of theirs, the breakdown and ending sections will be heralded as some of the greatest work in the history of metalcore.
I feel like Marcus found his voice in greyview, TSSAIINW, and heavener and now he’s just running with it. would not be surprised if invent animate blew up even more this year than they did last year
The album is structured perfectly. To go from False Meridian to Reverie to Immolation of Night is such a blast. The album is just a complete masterpiece for me. Love every bit of it.
I was kind of on the fence with the album before the song Heavener came out. I was already familiar with IA from past releases but I just wasn't vibing with the album when it first came out as I was in Sleep Token brainrot and they had my undivided attention. But then the song Heavener came out and it blew my MIND, then the album finally clicked and it became one of my favorite albums from last year, and I rediscovered all their older stuff. IA Forever!
@@MisbegottenFoolI think your taste falls into more ballady stuff lmfao. I feel bad you didn't vibe with the album, but hopefully you'll end up having a change of heart with it someday.
@@skudgyy So. I wanna say this as nice as I can cuz I hate youtube comment drama and I really don't wanna start anything like that here. 1. Please re read my comment, you will notice that what I actually said was that I INITIALLY did not vibe with Heavener (The Album just to clarify), I eventually grew to love the album and let me be clear it was in my top 3 albums of last year. The song Heavener, while is may be softer than the rest of the record was the first thing I truly fell in love with to the point where I instantly knew it was one of the best metalcore songs I had ever heard. At that point I knew I had to give the album another chance and songs like Without A Wisper, False Meridian, Purity Weeps, and Elysium hooked me. 2. I've been listening to the heavier side of metalcore for years going back to 2016, I first heard IA in 2018 so they've been on my radar for quite some time and In the past I've enjoyed songs like Soul Sleep, Halcyon, and The Sun Sleeps, it just happens to be that a couple years ago I needed to hear more than just breakdowns, so I went exploring different genres like Prog, Shoegaze, alternative, a bunch of different stuff because I felt that metalcore was becoming stale (for me personally) and I just needed a break from the scene. 3. Then theres Sleep Token, I really don't care about "TikTok This, oh they suck, mid token, they aren't real metal, blah blah blah" They are exactly what I was looking for at the time and have made some of the freshest music in the scene because they don't care about genre's or elitists who have shittier tastes then when I was 14. I overlooked Heavener because at the time I compared it to what Sleep Token was doing and it didn't interest me as much because at the time I felt Sleep Token had more to offer. In retrospect I realized the flaw in this thinking and came to the conclusion that it's fine that it wasn't Take Me Back To Eden because at the end of the day, Sleep Token is Sleep Token, and Invent Animate is Invent Animate and that's fine, they each are different and distinct from one another but are both incredible bands and when Heavener clicked for me I fell in love with it. 4. Nothing wrong with a ballad my friend. Ballads are the shit. Peace ✌️
Deep cut, but Vacant off Stillworld is the Invent Animate track i revisit most often. The opening guitar always gives me chills, it creates such a perfect atmosphere of silent contemplation and lonliness. Then you're shoved into a driving riff and lyrics talking about feeling powerless and walked over that really resonates with me on a personal level. Its a very special track for me that embodies why i love this band.
The addition of the bit of emtion at 3:04 was an interesting surprise for me, haven't really heard that out of IA. Reminds me of the kind of emotion slipknot gives in a lot of their music, but it's so different at the same time, I really like it.
This song and Keeping Secrets by FFAK could very well already be my songs of the year. Both of them had me hooked from the first play and really sitting down and listening to sleepless deathbed reminded me a lot of my first IA experience when i sat down and watched the whole 10 minute the sun sleeps video. Not because i think they sound the same, but the experience of just being caught in the music and the video, feeling so many things at once is incredible. Favorite IA is hard, but due to the fact most of my favorites already got a lot of mentions, i'm gonna say Halcyon (so different but yet soooo good) and Shapeshifter (my boi garret killed it on this one)
Halcyon is such a good one. It really really captures everything that was brilliant from Stillworld but with Marcus in vocals. That's a special one for sure.
@@JesseGinman-tc3cewow thats actually a W list ngl😂 ngl tho Before I Turn are fell off tho, new songs sound like they were made on garageband and the fact they made false promises with their releases is quite sad, even tho they are only two people, their quality is just not there anymore. Currents new album is good and all, but they need to expand on that sound and evolve more from it, draw it influence from old work with TPIFS, and TWIE, while also bringing in new ideas.
@@ThatsAGoodB0y I absolutely love Currents new album. I think it's a masterpiece. The lyrics and themes are top tier for me by I do understand how you could feel the way u do but I'm obsessed with Currents and everything they do. Just seen them live few weeks ago
@@JesseGinman-tc3ce its just because i’ve been a fan since TPIFS and it feels like this new album is a complete change of sound so i need some more from them to get used to it, all of their previous sounds true to a specific sound but this new album is truly different in a lot of ways, it sounds a lot more like your stereotypical metalcore which i don’t mind but i wish they would find a way to make this sound as their own unique way. They’ve also cut down on their unique guitar work and it seems like their songs are a lot more “low end” driven, they used to have a lot of weird alien noises that made their guitar work stand out, but now they write more rock sounding riffs like Unfamiliar. Drum work is also kinda lack luster, ive heard this from a hand full of people. The album is great and all and Brian sounds better than ever, but im hoping they find the pacing with this new sound and bring it more to life.
Heavener is definitely my fav invent animate song, but false meridian, reverie, and immolation of night are also up there. Outside of heavener i do really like shapeshifter. I have a feeling this song is also gonna be one of the best on the deluxe edition of heavener though.
I think it absolutely fits on heavener, and it’s also lumped in with the heavener single on spotify, so I’m hopeful for a deluxe. Just because Heavener and Reverie are such different songs from all the others, I have an open mind of it fitting in, possibly with another song or two to tie everything together
I haven't paid that much attention to Invent Animate before but this song definitely made me go check out their entire discography. definitely one of my favs especially the chorus
Killer track. It's actually really hard for me to pick a favorite Invent Animate song honestly. I really like a lot of their songs. Monarch is up there, as is Luna, Shade Astray and many others.
Favorite song from them is like a 5-way tie between Luna, False Meridian, Reflection Room, Secret Sun, and Dead Roots. Runner ups would be Eden, Indigo, Half-Life, Without a Whisper, and idk the entire rest of their discography. Literally can’t choose. Native Intellect is like the only song they’ve ever made that doesn’t do much for me (for some reason).
"As you know from this past year, I'm a Invent Animate fan.", man pfft, past two years at least haha. This song's structure is fresh. It didn't grab me, until that breakdown hit, oh man. That encapsulates the song's unique style. His melodical vocals I always so enlightening, so good.
I wasn't really sold on this track on the first couple of listens, but it's the only thing I've listened to since it dropped. It has a unique creepy atmosphere to it with the heaviness and Marcus' feral sounding screams, and it has elements of both old and new IA. I agree that it's super confusing on first listen, but MAN did it grow on me in no time. I'd now say it's on par with most of Heavener. As for QOTD, there's so many but it's between Dark, As If It Never Was and False Meridian for me.
It's got the most beautiful, melancholic but happy breakdown out there. And almost danceable, upbeat, saw-like sounding verses. And the build-up in the second verse! And the catchy, soothing, lullaby-ish chorus!! It's amazing.
Its insane how Heavener was my album of the year and not even three weeks into 2024, Invent Animate may have released my song of the year. Though Heavener is comprised of nothing but phenomenal tracks, Purity Weeps is the song that sold the album for me as not just album of the year, but album of the past few years.
you seemed very into the track, i mean your reaction said not me lol, its an amazing track all around from Marcus Vik to the drummer this shit SLAPS !!
It's hard to pick 1 fave from IA, If we are talking about the Marcus era I'm gonna say either False Meridian or Heavener, but if we're talking about the Ben era then I'll say Soul Sleep.
The first thing I really enjoyed from IA ever since they released Greyview. Unlike a lot of people, I did not enjoy their last album that much. But this, now this is exactly what I expect from them) A certified banger! And a very cool surprise too!
I see this as a really cool development on both their latest album and the previous. This one sounds like it could be off greyview with some of the more new production elements from heavener. Awesome song
Tough to pick a favorite from these guys, it's between White Wolf, Hollow Light or Without a Whisper for me. I love the blend of old and new in this track, it just adds to the evolution of their sound. 🔥
I think releasing new music while you have hype is a genius strategy to capitalize on the attention. It’s gonna require somewhat of a double release but that’s fine. If the music’s good it’ll work. To answer the question Without a whisper is without a doubt my favorite followed shortly behind As if it never was, and White Wolf.
I thought this song was decent on first listen, after playing it non-stop I'm in love. I'm loving some of the older Invent Animate vibes but with Marcus' vocals! I'll do my top IA songs by album because I can't pick just one Courier Celestial Floods Cloud Cascade Elysium and Heavener because it's just so damn good as a single
I hear old IA in the chaotic rhythms but to me the riff in the verse fits perfectly on Heavener. It sounds like the Labyrinthine riff. Wouldn’t this likely be a Heavener B-side? Could we be getting a Heavener deluxe version?
It's so hard to choose a favorite from them, but I'd go with either Heavener (the single), As If It Never Was, Purity Weeps or Cloud Cascade. This new song definitely sounds more like something that could've been on Greyview. I think I'm bound to love whatever these genius' put out but the ending structure did feel a bit weird.
By the way, your title has a typo! It should be "Best band in history" instead of "Invent Animate". It's unnecessary to name them explicitly. Everyone should know what's up :)
It's impossible to choose a favorite, it's a toss up between Shade Astray, False Meridian and Heavener. Overall I'd probably say Shade Astray since that's stuck around the longest and I still listen to it as if it just came out, but they're all equally loved by me
It's literally the Stillworld vibe. I wish more people could appreciate their older stuff too
UPD: since this comment expectedly blew up, I want to use this opportunity to tell more people, "Stop living the lie, existing just because you can..."

@@ihaveafettfetish9348 Duuuude, Half-Life is so underappreciated. Such a banger
@@lxz8021I fucking love Half Life. To this day it has the only solo they’ve ever done and it fucking goes
Tough to do with those trash ass screams
I can't understand how they manage to only write top tier choruses
🥴
💯
I’m gonna say False Meridian is my favorite of theirs, the breakdown and ending sections will be heralded as some of the greatest work in the history of metalcore.
Agreed. False meridian is my favorite of theirs
Same, i love the opening and closing riff of this song but False Meridian is just something else
Same. Shoulda been their firrst marquie single with a proper video for that album.
False Meridian is def my favorite, absolute masterpiece.
This one is pretty close
same
I feel like Marcus found his voice in greyview, TSSAIINW, and heavener and now he’s just running with it. would not be surprised if invent animate blew up even more this year than they did last year
All of Heavener is just perfection. Also Reverie is such a refreshing reset halfway through the album
The album is structured perfectly. To go from False Meridian to Reverie to Immolation of Night is such a blast. The album is just a complete masterpiece for me. Love every bit of it.
Fireside is the best song by IA and arguably the best song in modern metalcore/prog-metalcore scene. Such an underrated gem.
the first time i listened to greyview i replayed this song at least 50 times. not exaggerating one bit
Omg finally i've seen someone mention Fireside! Indeed best song, its so cozy and emotional and you can easily sing along
Dark is my favorite IA song
This song was actually co-produced by Landon Tewers, fun fact!
Landon worked on the Heavener album as well! They seem to work really well together I'm sure we'll seem him involved going forward
Ohh man, favorite song of all time... I will give ya one off each album:
- Luna
- Celestial Floods
- Cloud Cascade
- Elysium
i like you
@@joanriera99 Thanks dude! I also like each and everyone who supports my life ideology with Invent 🥰
@@antonmakovetskyi8350 Our ideology, my friend
@@lxz8021 Absolutely, my dude 💚
Celestial floods goes so fuckin hard
Won't lie, just got into IA and I've absolutely fallen in love with the single Heavener. The album was great, but that single is on another level.
I was kind of on the fence with the album before the song Heavener came out. I was already familiar with IA from past releases but I just wasn't vibing with the album when it first came out as I was in Sleep Token brainrot and they had my undivided attention.

It took me so long to understand Marcus’ screams but I’ve fallen in love with this band.
i think heavener or emberglow is still my favorite song of theirs, but this might be my favorite chorus
Deep cut, but Vacant off Stillworld is the Invent Animate track i revisit most often. The opening guitar always gives me chills, it creates such a perfect atmosphere of silent contemplation and lonliness. Then you're shoved into a driving riff and lyrics talking about feeling powerless and walked over that really resonates with me on a personal level.

as if it never was is painfully underrated, easily my favorite
Marcus said on his ig he was going for more of a deathcore screamy screams. I absolutely loved that it was clear as day the difference.
I think this song is going to be in the Deluxe edition along with Heavener (song)
My fav IA songs are the sun sleeps and without a whisper
The addition of the bit of emtion at 3:04 was an interesting surprise for me, haven't really heard that out of IA. Reminds me of the kind of emotion slipknot gives in a lot of their music, but it's so different at the same time, I really like it.
That's an impossible question but if I had to pick one I would probably say As If It Never Was
My favourite Invent Animate song is Heavener (the single). It is a masterpiece and I literally cried when first listened to it
This feels like a continuation to the sun sleeps EP
This song and Keeping Secrets by FFAK could very well already be my songs of the year. Both of them had me hooked from the first play and really sitting down and listening to sleepless deathbed reminded me a lot of my first IA experience when i sat down and watched the whole 10 minute the sun sleeps video.

Keeping Secrets for me, is on the verge of octanecore. Huge let down.
my brother in Christ it's January 😂
@@ogge9304everyone knew invent, currents, sleep token would be the top albums in January. Outside of Johnny booth they were all right

You were the one showing me these guys off for the first time. It's only fair that i watch this one with you Bogdan. Thanks my friend
Man it’s hard to chose one fav song, but I have to go with As It Never Was, such a masterpiece
Without a Whisper and False Meridian are the winners for me, but Invent Animate have been dropping top stuff since everchanger.
Heavener is definitely my fav invent animate song, but false meridian, reverie, and immolation of night are also up there. Outside of heavener i do really like shapeshifter. I have a feeling this song is also gonna be one of the best on the deluxe edition of heavener though.

The Sun Sleeps was the first IA song I heard, so I'll go with that one.

Favorite Invent Animate song? What kind of question is that? Celestial Floods? Dead Roots? Monarch? Reflection Room? Courier? So many options lmao
Structure is very reminiscent of their Albums Stillworld and Everchanger, with a mix/master similar to their newest stuff. I'm here for it.
My favorite Invent song is As If It Never Was, followed closely by Nova. 3rd place to Void Surfacing.
That djent breakdown on Void Surfacing 🥵
"As you know from this past year, I'm a Invent Animate fan.", man pfft, past two years at least haha.
This song's structure is fresh. It didn't grab me, until that breakdown hit, oh man. That encapsulates the song's unique style. His melodical vocals I always so enlightening, so good.
It’s literally impossible to choose my favourite IA song. But the one I’ve listened to most recently is Labyrinthine
I wasn't really sold on this track on the first couple of listens, but it's the only thing I've listened to since it dropped. It has a unique creepy atmosphere to it with the heaviness and Marcus' feral sounding screams, and it has elements of both old and new IA. I agree that it's super confusing on first listen, but MAN did it grow on me in no time. I'd now say it's on par with most of Heavener.
As for QOTD, there's so many but it's between Dark, As If It Never Was and False Meridian for me.
purity weeps my faf
This is quickly becoming my favorite IA track, solely based on the progression of vocals and that mesmerizing chorus!!!
Purity Weeps is my favorite of all time
this band simply does not miss. guessing this is for a deluxe, which I'd be pumped as fuck for.
QOTD: Elysium. has to be. it's a perfect song.
Fav IA track is Emberglow for me
It's got the most beautiful, melancholic but happy breakdown out there.
And almost danceable, upbeat, saw-like sounding verses. And the build-up in the second verse! And the catchy, soothing, lullaby-ish chorus!! It's amazing.
My favorite invent animate song must be "the sun sleeps", such a beautifull riff!
Immolation of Night gotta be my favorite
My favorite song is actually the small ep they dropped in 2021. The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was. That's how I became a fan!!!
Its insane how Heavener was my album of the year and not even three weeks into 2024, Invent Animate may have released my song of the year.
Though Heavener is comprised of nothing but phenomenal tracks, Purity Weeps is the song that sold the album for me as not just album of the year, but album of the past few years.
Man... the hardest QOTD... Im gonna say... all of them :)
between Immolation of night and The Sun Sleeps
For me, Halcyon. What an incredible opening chorus.
The song went to Everchanger/Stillworld style during the first breakdown. Loved it
This song doesn’t need context.
Maybe I’ve had too much of the kool aid but the more I listen to it, the more I notice and the hooks dig in.
"This is a strange sound for them."
Me, thinking it sounds exactly the same as anything from Heavener: 👁👄👁
imagine loathe were like this... you know... a band that releases new music...
you seemed very into the track, i mean your reaction said not me lol, its an amazing track all around from Marcus Vik to the drummer this shit SLAPS !!
hella old school invent vibe, love it
Just listened to the new track and was like "BOGDAN" and now im here 🤣
Amazing track 🔥
It's hard to pick 1 fave from IA, If we are talking about the Marcus era I'm gonna say either False Meridian or Heavener, but if we're talking about the Ben era then I'll say Soul Sleep.
This song has elements of the Heavener sound but molded with the older style. It's the best of both worlds 😍 I love it
Probably Elysium. Good chorus, nice chill melodic sections... Permanently on a playlist.
Still think The sun sleeps as if it never was is easily the best thing theyve ever done, but everything theyve put out is incredible
Labyrinthine has been on repeat for me for a whole
Heavener the song is my favorite, but this one has quickly grown on me specifically because of that chorus, that chorus is SOMETHING else
The first thing I really enjoyed from IA ever since they released Greyview. Unlike a lot of people, I did not enjoy their last album that much. But this, now this is exactly what I expect from them) A certified banger! And a very cool surprise too!
I see this as a really cool development on both their latest album and the previous. This one sounds like it could be off greyview with some of the more new production elements from heavener. Awesome song
This song rips.
Favorite IA songs gotta include Shade Astray, White Wolf, and Naturehold
Shade Astray definitely my fav of all time
Jeez this is bananas! straight fire!❤
Hey guys this band have been releasing masterpieces for years not just one.
Tough to pick a favorite from these guys, it's between White Wolf, Hollow Light or Without a Whisper for me. I love the blend of old and new in this track, it just adds to the evolution of their sound. 🔥
As If It Never Was is my favourite by far
this have some silent planet vibes, dont get me wrong! this is amazing!
His voice reminded me claudio from coheed on the chorus
Fireside is by far my favorite IA song! Love this band and everything they put out!🔥
My fav will probably always be Luna
I think my favorite is false meridian, but I go back and forth with that and labarynthine too!
Native Intellect 🔥🤘🏼
Soul sleep is probably one of my favorites, along with halcyon. Honestly stillworld as a whole is probably my top
I think releasing new music while you have hype is a genius strategy to capitalize on the attention. It’s gonna require somewhat of a double release but that’s fine. If the music’s good it’ll work. To answer the question Without a whisper is without a doubt my favorite followed shortly behind As if it never was, and White Wolf.
I would love them to get Ben back on some track like Monuments did with Neema on their last album
That would be so sick
I can’t decide what my absolute favorite IA song is but top 3 are elysium, false meridian, and without a whisper
I thought this song was decent on first listen, after playing it non-stop I'm in love. I'm loving some of the older Invent Animate vibes but with Marcus' vocals!
I'll do my top IA songs by album because I can't pick just one
Courier
Celestial Floods
Cloud Cascade
Elysium
and Heavener because it's just so damn good as a single
The Sun Sleeps is still my favourite song
Marcus reminds me a lot of Johnny from Nothing More with his cleans in this track!
IA never misses
It’s like a B side track stuff that didn’t make/work for the album love this song and the reaction!!!
I hear old IA in the chaotic rhythms but to me the riff in the verse fits perfectly on Heavener. It sounds like the Labyrinthine riff. Wouldn’t this likely be a Heavener B-side? Could we be getting a Heavener deluxe version?
It's so hard to choose a favorite from them, but I'd go with either Heavener (the single), As If It Never Was, Purity Weeps or Cloud Cascade.
This new song definitely sounds more like something that could've been on Greyview. I think I'm bound to love whatever these genius' put out but the ending structure did feel a bit weird.
this one and creature by landmvrks will be in my most listened songs of the year for sure
To pick one - Void surfacing.
My favorite from them would be Fireside or Hollow Light from Greyview.
FALSE MERIDIAN because jesus lord that breakdown
cloud cascade and false meridian for sure
It’s like they went back to Stillworld
By the way, your title has a typo! It should be "Best band in history" instead of "Invent Animate". It's unnecessary to name them explicitly. Everyone should know what's up :)
Oh man, hard question. They get better each new release. Big fan of heavener the song, and without a whisper from the album
Favourite song has to be Luna
It's impossible to choose a favorite, it's a toss up between Shade Astray, False Meridian and Heavener. Overall I'd probably say Shade Astray since that's stuck around the longest and I still listen to it as if it just came out, but they're all equally loved by me
