Calle did a Q&A on insta after this release, one of the questions went like this Q. “If you had to choose a food related with the new song, what would it be?” A. “Poisonous mushrooms.”
From a drummers perspective this is so cool, I love that he's leaving breathing room and not just blast beating and throwing fills in left, right and centre, it builds up slowly and then hits like a truck when something crazy does come in. Not to downplay drummers who do just go at 100% throughout an entire song, that shit takes a ton of refined technique and stamina, but I personally prefer drum parts that are cleverly thought out and have changes in pace at the right time.
Here are the English lyrics: Drown me in gasoline Let me feel again The absence of sensations A gaping emptiness By death's cold bed The shell of my former self Lost in perceptions Lost in perceptions In the past Drown me in gasoline Let it be my grave How they dance in front of me My memories like smoke Endless forms of mocking souvenirs Perceptions I get lost in them Between my fingers Beyond all control When the future becomes distant The past And time a vacuum All memories' tomb Then drown me in gasoline Let it be my grave See how they dance in front of me Like smoke Endless forms Perceptions I get lost in them The synapses sing in a choir Flames lick me In freedom, I am reborn Marked by hopelessness Broken and defeated A fortress of disappointments Lost souls sing The prologue of doom The painting The dreaming The lost Who are you? Who advocate for the existence of hope About a day after this Endless night Who are you? Wandering over the fields The seeking crowd Misled by promises About soulful anesthesia Who are you?
there is simply nobody like Vildhjarta. They are absolutely unmatched and I don't understand how they keep one upping themselves...like they just cannot miss
@@Katuulu already have a lot lol. They are awesome too but a bit too much deathcore for me. New album is definitely awesome though. But nothing compares to Vildhjarta for me
@@kaield4763 just listened to them and they aren't even in the same league as Vildhjarta lmao...this is just regular power/prog metal. Vildhjarta is like...music 2.0
Never been huge into Vildhjarta, but man this song is amazing. Went and checked out their måsstaden under vatten album and got dayum I've been missing out!
@@drumkidstuyea Meshuggah really pushed the heavier scene in metal, i mean, no one sounded like them when they came to the music scene, and still to this day no one sounds like them, but they try to haha, Vildhjarta fits that description too, no one else sounds like them, they way they are evolving is fascinating, but they havnt had the influence that Meshuggah had
@@claim_the_pastthen if you want more check out Humanities Last Breath, and Stoort Neer, HLB is the drummers band, Stoort Neer is the guitarist’s side project, both are amazing, and then if you want even more, check out No Oath, and Indistinct, these two have their own sound, but its still thall af :) id say No Oath is in his own category of music, his ambience and synth work is actually unmatched
No matter what era of their music you listen to, there is something so distinct sounding about their songs that you can immediately identify them solely by how they play. It’s an instantaneous response in your mind that says “That’s Vildhjarta!” That I find so amazingly unique about this band. There is simply nothing else like it.
I use to think they were the 'future of metal' but man there's been many imitators and no one that truly captures the sheer genius of their compositions. Bands like Vildhjarta are akin to a massive shooting star in a meteor shower. Yeah, there's others, but there's that one that shines ever more brightly than the others. Incredible band.
@@Aoichanpianomaybe try glaciers the cold soul ep and the heat wave ep are great the song cold soul is a banger imo but it doesnnt have the same ambience as vildhjarta
@@Aoichanpiano Stoort Neer and Catsclaw are calle's side projects, these have some kind of vibe and there are also other bands that try to sound like them like Path of Giants, Behold the void, Our common collapse. Ascera, Olympus lenticular, Tulpas, Levitated, Elision etc.
Did you catch that the last minute of the song was teased in May last year? Incredible track, I was so excited to hear the context of the riff they teased. So happy to finally hear the final product
Vildhjarta and Humanity's Last Breath just absolutely blow my mind, How does one write music like this it's actually insane, nobody sounds like them not even close. Thall forever
Vildhjarta has been my favorite band of all time since I discovered them with their last album. This new album is going to be another 11/10 masterpiece I can feel it. I cried when that riff came in
Honestly makes me so happy to see the world discover Vildhjarta piece by piece after such a long time of them being in the deepest depths of obscurity . So well deserved for those guys and I hope they keep going for years to come.
Vildhjarta is definitely "your favorite band's favorite band" types. Their influence is in so many big bands and so many people don't even realize it. They deserve the world.
@@aberosh1819Oh, you could convince me, because it does look like a cellphone case, a tastefully beautifully horrific decying living cell phone case, but a cellphone case nonetheless.
The guitars in this band are so expressive, that’s the best way I’ve described it. It just brings so much emotion and I love the melancholic but uplifting vibe. No one does it like Vildhjarta
I just replied to a comment where they shared a few other thall bands. They were solid but nothing super special. I think you captured it - Vildhjarta have a variety of emotions in their music. Good stuff.
Weirdly, they released a teaser of this song over a year ago. It really makes me think of their approach to song writing, because that makes me think they took over a year to finish this song.
I'm -hoping- that they released this teaser and it took so long to release because it's coming as part of an EP or something. But if not IDC, Vild deserves to take as much time as they want too.
I was also thinking this. Perhaps they wrote the outro first and worked backwards. Not an entirely unusual way to write actually. Leaves the banger ideas for a grand finale.
Calle himself alluded to them working for several months to a year+ on songs on his insta Q&A yesterday. Same reason why heartsmear was teased 6 years before release of måsstaden under vatten.
Calle and Daniel are among the best and most creative songwriters/guitarists this world has ever seen! Nobody will ever be able to match their unique playing 👀
The first time I listened to this song I realised it’s almost like they’re using the lead guitar work to be like clever clean singing parts, at least in some parts. And I love that. I love this song.
I just read the lyrics and let me sum up what it is about: The meaning of this song is the most depressive pessimistic nihilistic I've ever heard! The meaning is that hope is just an illusion and the only "cure" to this miserable life is death!
"Where's the groove? There it is. It's gone. There it is again. Gone again. There it is (ups, different groove). It's also gone." No kidding I spent years complaining there was no REAL psychedelic metal, until I found these guys. Even the artwork fits so perfectly. Been living inside the section at 3:42 since this track came out. Pure beauty and weirdness!
I've never heard of this band before but this song is GOATed almost reminds me of like Ne Obliviscaris (minus the Violin solos) or Rivers Of Nihil I love it, I'm 100% going to go through this bands Discography this is exactly like the kind of Metal I love Heavy, Prog, but nice relaxing chill moments, and Groove too. Thank you very much for bringing this band to my attention
The reason Vildhjarta is so distinctive is because their songs are all built around feeling. Sure there are time signatures and tempos and rhythms but their timing is all feeling. You can't predict what's going to happen next or when it's going to happen. The bouncyness, the groove, the bending, the waining guitar tones, it all comes together to form this orchestral style written metal music that creates a feeling and a visual image in your mind along with it. It puts you into a trance. It sits you down and makes you feel the music. The overlapping of melodies between the backing and lead with the clean atmospheric guitar parts across like 5 different octaves. They are writing the rules of the game in their own world.
Couldn't have explained it any better. I have a very visual mind. I can close my eyes and it be as visual as when you take LSD at times. Music like this definitely enhances that for me. I'll be listening to their other album while walking and while my eyes are open. I can feel the medley of color trying to break through. I'll close my eyes and boom. It's all there. Doesn't even take any effort at all with this style of music.
@@eggpod4567haha thats awesome, i also get sort of unexplainable visuals with highly emotional music of any genre, i dont think i have synesthesia, but they still exist and its so wonderful, have you hear Liminal by No Oath?, its a short album, only like 18 minutes, but its intense and the ambience creates beautiful space like crushing beauty in the mind. You should totally check it out and tell me what you see
The more I listen to this beauty the more it grows on me to the point where I straight up adore it... and the outro of this song just won't go out of my head since I heard it and I'm not even mad
I've always imagined being on Datura as similar to existing in a Vildhjarta song. I feel like I'm at least somewhat right, but I'm definitely not going to try disproving it.
If listening to music was hellish suffering, or if datura was somehow a pleasant experience.... maybe? But that would change the entire essence of the experience into something else, so then again.... maybe not!
Imagine pretending vildjharta isnt just modern metalcore with extra steps lmfao this comment exudes pure *“Rick and morty is too deep for you to understand”* energy 😂
@@EnvisionedBlindnessthis comment is really funny, tell us you have no idea what metalcore is without telling us you have no idea what metalcore is. Vildhjarta is more progressive metal than metalcore lol
@@EnvisionedBlindness shh, adults are talking here. I’ll put on some djent or core so you can have a nappy, the adults can talk about black, death, doom, thrash, etc in addition to tech/prog/etc instead of making that one sliver of a genre your whole identity.
I did have my guitar out during this, and I found a grand total of 2 notes. This is toeing the line between utter nonsensical chaos and perfectly constructed purpose SO hard.
100% agree with your analysis about them being 10 years ahead. When Masstaden under vatten came out I swore (and still do) that it would be one of the defining albums of the 2020's. As an older millennial prog metal guy, they seem to check so many different boxes at once and continue what Meshuggah started, alongside Car Bomb albeit with a different vibe.
This tune took breakdowns to another level. A defo new one for me that ima 100% look more into. I’m so glad nil didn’t try and play the guitar for this. We would be sat here for hours. Feels like there is 8 trillion parts well done and the vocals are like the icing on the cake
Nik-o-less, you may well have introduced me to my new favourite band here! I love it when a band makes a melody or pattern that's *so obviously* a "hook" but then rather than going in the obvious direction it rug pulls you at the last second and goes off in a completely unexpected direction. Like 99% of bands would struggle not to pick the obvious note in a riff, for example. These guys go "ok, what would nobody expect here" and find the exact element that's the antithesis of a hook and somehow not only make it work, but make it better.
This part around 4:05 fucks me up so hard. It's like some superintelligent Alien race is conducting experiments on my brain to figure out how many disjoint emotions a human can feel at the same time. It's insane.
I was Braindead after 3 minutes by how complex this song is. The i realised something that blew my mind again : this song is the modern version of "I" from Meshuggah Vildhjarta is 10 years in the futur while being 20 years late to Meshuggah who are in fact 30 years in the futur anyways, this is ridiculously goods, too much brain getting blew
That’s probably the best way to describe the masterclass of Swedish progressive metal and the djent playing style 💀 (I consider djent a playing style of progressive metal rather than truly a genre 🤔)
Vildhjarta is bliss, nature, purity, heaven and Humanity's Last Breath is Death, Despair, Hell and the destruction of existence. Congrats Buster and Calle!
I think this group is one of the most important bands to do it since meshuggah, periphery, and animals as leaders. how many other bands are so immediately recognizable from 1 bar of music?
Huge props to Nik for popularizing Vildhjarta (and I can pronounce it correctly, haha). This band is so unique in what they're capable of while being completely underappreciated even by general metal community.
you should definitely check out Hanabie. they sure will be one of Japans biggest Metal Bands in the near future. Crystal Lakes Drummer Gaku Taura is involved in producing them and they have just been signed to a sublabel of Sony Music Japan a few months ago. at the moment they are on their first tour outside of Japan having already sold out all of their EU Tour Dates. I've been to their first show in Vienna and they're fucking amazing. In September/October they're also touring in the US. You should definitely check them out. All songs are really fire, but perhaps you should start with the song most people heard of them for the first time "We love sweets"
Vildhjarta was a band I was listening to a decade ago and hadn't heard from in years, and then I hear this amazing bit of new awesome! Hyped to hear more
Do You know that the half of their listeners are fans of You? I think You are litterly About to double it! Nice to see that You promote amazing good bands that are small and deserve to grow!
Finally I see someone else talking about them! They’re beyond talented and their uniquely ominous and emotional form of progressive tech death is so cool! THALL!
Love this band. Its relatively accesable, no fake aggression, production is almost perfection, tuned low but not just overly crushing. Wish they were english though but it adds to their mystery.
I can't wait for Scottie LePage to get inspired by this acid trip and melt it into sexy jazzy form. This song is so obscure, so weird, so unapologetically inhumane and I'm so into it. The blend of charming ambience/backgrounds combined with this double drop f'ing Z(can they even get lower anymore?) guitar hooks, boy oh boy, we've been treated with a banger. Just watch people try to emulate it just like they did with masstaden unter vatter
You should look into Frostbitt. They are a very promising thall type band as well but imo they're much more approachable with cleaner vocals and less insane song structures.
The last album was good really liked cyber walk but self-titled is just a step above blizzard is an amazing track, Frozen, dragon, avalanche,aurora, icicle so many good songs. And solbrent is great I loved ashen because I don't think i've seen a song like that ever.
I am looking for some online vendors for band merch for a local band. We are trying to figure out what we can do moving forward. I have some notes already but I will take comments if anyone wants to chime in on this. I have a couple POD (Pring on Demand) services but also be nice to have something other than POD. Like a spot where we can order for our merchs table and it actually make us a few bucks. Just trying to think outside the box of the normal: what does a local band do sort of thing. Thanks Metal people...
vildhjarta is the only band to only drop a record every ten years and still be ahead of the curve
And half of them are re-releases
Humanity's Last Breath: **destroys Earth**
Vildhjarta: **rebuilds it**
haha I like that :D
lol that's epic. And it'll be a beautiful constant cycle
That's gold

He did the art for Måsstaden, Thousands of Evils, and Måsstaden Under Vatten too.
The GOAT
his style is so diverse, i love how every album has the same vibe but all the art is completely diffuse

From a drummers perspective this is so cool, I love that he's leaving breathing room and not just blast beating and throwing fills in left, right and centre, it builds up slowly and then hits like a truck when something crazy does come in.

Word
yup we here
ongod man the moment i heard the acoustic version i was like OH WE DOIN THIS
For real!!
Thall
Here are the English lyrics:
Drown me in gasoline
Let me feel again
The absence of sensations
A gaping emptiness
By death's cold bed
The shell of my former self
Lost in perceptions
Lost in perceptions
In the past
Drown me in gasoline
Let it be my grave
How they dance in front of me
My memories like smoke
Endless forms of mocking souvenirs
Perceptions
I get lost in them
Between my fingers
Beyond all control
When the future becomes distant
The past
And time a vacuum
All memories' tomb
Then drown me in gasoline
Let it be my grave
See how they dance in front of me
Like smoke
Endless forms
Perceptions
I get lost in them
The synapses sing in a choir
Flames lick me
In freedom, I am reborn
Marked by hopelessness
Broken and defeated
A fortress of disappointments
Lost souls sing
The prologue of doom
The painting
The dreaming
The lost
Who are you?
Who advocate for the existence of hope
About a day after this
Endless night
Who are you?
Wandering over the fields
The seeking crowd
Misled by promises
About soulful anesthesia
Who are you?

Sounds like most Swedish death metal to me
No wonder I like this song so much
The spanish feeling is apparently depressive nihilism.
I read it quite differently, that the illusion is death but that everything is a transient state, ie basically Hinduism.
Swede here: They definitely wrote this in winter.
Loved the song! The lead part between 3.42-425 sound very similar to old Swedish folk music to me. I wonder if that was an inspiration for them.

The more I listen to this beauty the more it grows on me to the point where I straight up adore it... and the outro of this song just won't go out of my head since I heard it and I'm not even mad
This song feels like 3 minutes long to me. It made me so happy. I need more.
I've always imagined being on Datura as similar to existing in a Vildhjarta song.
I feel like I'm at least somewhat right, but I'm definitely not going to try disproving it.
If listening to music was hellish suffering, or if datura was somehow a pleasant experience.... maybe? But that would change the entire essence of the experience into something else, so then again.... maybe not!
EVERY TIME I LISTEN THIS BAND I'M GETTING GOOSEBUMPS
Oha Vildh dinleyen Türk 👀
Bir tek ben varım sanıyordum.
WHY JUST THURSDAY

How to Vildhjarta in 30 Seconds!
When you venture outside of 'Core for 10 seconds and realize there's great metal in every subgenre.
Imagine pretending vildjharta isnt just modern metalcore with extra steps lmfao this comment exudes pure *“Rick and morty is too deep for you to understand”* energy 😂
@@EnvisionedBlindnessthis comment is really funny, tell us you have no idea what metalcore is without telling us you have no idea what metalcore is. Vildhjarta is more progressive metal than metalcore lol
@@subsume7904not tryna start an argument but I feel like modern metalcore has way to many influences to just call it metalcore any more
@@nofacegamer21I'm not the one calling Vildhjarta metalcore lol
@@EnvisionedBlindness shh, adults are talking here. I’ll put on some djent or core so you can have a nappy, the adults can talk about black, death, doom, thrash, etc in addition to tech/prog/etc instead of making that one sliver of a genre your whole identity.
I did have my guitar out during this, and I found a grand total of 2 notes. This is toeing the line between utter nonsensical chaos and perfectly constructed purpose SO hard.
This band massages my brain
Vildhjarta is my all time favorite band, I just can't get enough of them, by far the coolest sounding band I've ever heard.
That sounds so freaking good omg! I LOVE when a metal song leaves you guessing and all while sounding so amazing!
100% agree with your analysis about them being 10 years ahead. When Masstaden under vatten came out I swore (and still do) that it would be one of the defining albums of the 2020's. As an older millennial prog metal guy, they seem to check so many different boxes at once and continue what Meshuggah started, alongside Car Bomb albeit with a different vibe.
Favorite part of the song is how the riff they teased earlier is basically a thall reinterpretation of the Spanish/classical sounding clean part
This tune took breakdowns to another level. A defo new one for me that ima 100% look more into. I’m so glad nil didn’t try and play the guitar for this. We would be sat here for hours. Feels like there is 8 trillion parts well done and the vocals are like the icing on the cake
Nik-o-less, you may well have introduced me to my new favourite band here! I love it when a band makes a melody or pattern that's *so obviously* a "hook" but then rather than going in the obvious direction it rug pulls you at the last second and goes off in a completely unexpected direction. Like 99% of bands would struggle not to pick the obvious note in a riff, for example. These guys go "ok, what would nobody expect here" and find the exact element that's the antithesis of a hook and somehow not only make it work, but make it better.
This part around 4:05 fucks me up so hard. It's like some superintelligent Alien race is conducting experiments on my brain to figure out how many disjoint emotions a human can feel at the same time. It's insane.
Vildhjarta are god tier. Wherever metal goes, they'll still sound ahead of the curve
I was Braindead after 3 minutes by how complex this song is. The i realised something that blew my mind again : this song is the modern version of "I" from Meshuggah
Vildhjarta is 10 years in the futur while being 20 years late to Meshuggah who are in fact 30 years in the futur
anyways, this is ridiculously goods, too much brain getting blew
That’s probably the best way to describe the masterclass of Swedish progressive metal and the djent playing style 💀 (I consider djent a playing style of progressive metal rather than truly a genre 🤔)
Vildhjarta is bliss, nature, purity, heaven and Humanity's Last Breath is Death, Despair, Hell and the destruction of existence. Congrats Buster and Calle!
dont forget Daniel in vildhjarta, hes most of the brains too
Daniel is the progenitor of the music/sound & it's tragic that no one seems to know this.
"I don't know what's happening. DO YOU?! NO!" This is my brain multiple times a day lol
fantastic .. hope you get a Million subs soon Nik .. you bring so much enjoyable content .. always makes my day!
I discovered Vildhjarta in 2011 and just like Meshuggah they will be exalted in a few decades
-what key is the song in?
-*yes*
Finally a band to carry on from Gojira as far as the "what the hell are they doing with those guitars" question goes lol.
I think this group is one of the most important bands to do it since meshuggah, periphery, and animals as leaders. how many other bands are so immediately recognizable from 1 bar of music?
I’m still getting a grip on how incredible the new HLB record is and now this comes out? We are getting spoiled this year
This was the first time i heard them and i am very impressed! This is like a metal dream, i could sleep to this.
Huge props to Nik for popularizing Vildhjarta (and I can pronounce it correctly, haha). This band is so unique in what they're capable of while being completely underappreciated even by general metal community.
I've never really checked these guys out but this song has me hooked, been on repeat since it came out 🤘🤘
Will always be my favourite band even when my personal tastes change
The way that guitar howls and roars is fucking otherworldly....
My guys here just created the breakup!
Such an High mood but still aggressive "breakdown", It's so unique!
They created the fixup lmao
That artwork looks like an edit of the map from Hades, also BANGER ALERT
you should definitely check out Hanabie.
they sure will be one of Japans biggest Metal Bands in the near future. Crystal Lakes Drummer Gaku Taura is involved in producing them and they have just been signed to a sublabel of Sony Music Japan a few months ago. at the moment they are on their first tour outside of Japan having already sold out all of their EU Tour Dates. I've been to their first show in Vienna and they're fucking amazing.
In September/October they're also touring in the US.
You should definitely check them out. All songs are really fire, but perhaps you should start with the song most people heard of them for the first time "We love sweets"
Vildhjarta was a band I was listening to a decade ago and hadn't heard from in years, and then I hear this amazing bit of new awesome! Hyped to hear more
Vildhjarta is my favorite metal band. Humanity’s Last Breath too
The fact that calle just said hes a bad guitarist on his instagram is crazy to me💀
Do You know that the half of their listeners are fans of You? I think You are litterly About to double it! Nice to see that You promote amazing good bands that are small and deserve to grow!
Found the band from Nik's react video to Vildhjarta a while back. This went in my top bands immediately.
Finally I see someone else talking about them! They’re beyond talented and their uniquely ominous and emotional form of progressive tech death is so cool! THALL!
6:59 this hits so much harder when nick smacks into the table on beat
Vildhjarta reminds me of the anime "Made in Abyss" and it drags me deeper into ethereal darkness every time.
Vildhjarta has been always been the future of metal
fuck yeah, love that youre covering this, rock on nik
Love this band. Its relatively accesable, no fake aggression, production is almost perfection, tuned low but not just overly crushing. Wish they were english though but it adds to their mystery.
I can't wait for Scottie LePage to get inspired by this acid trip and melt it into sexy jazzy form. This song is so obscure, so weird, so unapologetically inhumane and I'm so into it. The blend of charming ambience/backgrounds combined with this double drop f'ing Z(can they even get lower anymore?) guitar hooks, boy oh boy, we've been treated with a banger. Just watch people try to emulate it just like they did with masstaden unter vatter
You should look into Frostbitt. They are a very promising thall type band as well but imo they're much more approachable with cleaner vocals and less insane song structures.
The last album was good really liked cyber walk but self-titled is just a step above blizzard is an amazing track, Frozen, dragon, avalanche,aurora, icicle so many good songs. And solbrent is great I loved ashen because I don't think i've seen a song like that ever.
Nik, we are all waiting for a "How to Vildhjarta in 30 seconds" AND YOU KNOW IT! hahaha
Love to see something about All Shall Perish. Nobody ever talks about their contribution to deathcore
You said “circus riff” and now I want Circuscore to be a thing. Cirque du Soheavy
Chaos with nature on acid in hell. What a great way to describe this band.
Day 2 of asking for a how to slaughter to prevail full song
He is writing that song tomorrow on Twitch. It will probaly released about a few weeks.
Mushrooms, bro. Vikings be tripping and screaming. It's Bendy just like their mellow state😂
I am looking for some online vendors for band merch for a local band. We are trying to figure out what we can do moving forward. I have some notes already but I will take comments if anyone wants to chime in on this. I have a couple POD (Pring on Demand) services but also be nice to have something other than POD. Like a spot where we can order for our merchs table and it actually make us a few bucks. Just trying to think outside the box of the normal: what does a local band do sort of thing. Thanks Metal people...
