yeah i listened 'neither shape nor shadow' 8-9 years ago and thought cool but kinda long for melodeath? I dunno. After Vessels released, I spend some time listening the album, now I consider them as my favorite band, astonishing but requires some investment to be pulled into.
It's been 4 months since the first time I heard this band and I cant pass a day without listening to their music. What the hell is going on with the promotion department. Why isnt this band among the most popular in the genre already? This is fucking criminally insane. You ve got the talent under your umbrella , do your part! More people need to hear this !
@@Kaiokendrew but actually no. If you say something it's right but not quite. There is no other way to explain it to the normal human being but ✨music✨ and that is not the full truth.
When you combine a Melodeath Metal song with planets and stars... Such a Goosebump bomb would be created ♥ What a masterpiece, it can't be more perfect than that.
And Orbit Culture. I mean I'm a bit biased here, since Orbit stole the first place from Be'Lakor for me, but they are so damned tight to the first place I could say both. But Be'Lakor, Orbit Culture and Insomnium together would be such a blast I could die happy. Thats my top 3 bands ever.
@@lashedandscorned I love Ne Obliviscaris but I feel like their vibes dont combine well. Though, I'd be intrigued to see a super-collab of 4 ot 5 bands, where they add together all their styles.
It took me a long time to get into this album. I was so in love with Of Breath and Bone and Stone's Reach that I didn't invest enough time or patience to listen to something new when Vessels was first released. These lyric videos reminded me to sit down and listen to this album, and boy have I been missing out! This track is the pick of the bunch though. Mesmerizing. Thought provoking. Timeless. Thank you for these - I will not be making the same mistake when the new album is released! Good luck and God speed
Seriously. I'm crying Now (admittedly I'm VERY tired and a bit high) I'm so glad they did this! Why TF are they not more well known?! I don't know where I would be mentally w/o Be'lakor. Just been listening to them, Jinjer and Ayreon all thru quarantine. (Oh. I just noticed your user name there. Nice! Anathema was my nom de plume back in the 90's! Love that word. Also; Concupiscence, Hubris, and Jargon. IDK, I like words, hah.)
Although, Vessels is 4 years old, it's great to see these new lyric videos. They are nicely put together and help the lyrics to tell the story of the Album from start to finish. Hopefully releasing these will help more people discover Be'lakor.
I don't know what Melodic Death Metal really means. I am a thrash guy, and a bit purist about it, I won't lie lol. I listen to any other band called Melodic Death Metal, and I can't sit through a single song. Be'lakor, I absolute love. I don't think they sound ANYTHING like other bands in this genre, I think they are MILES ahead......just my opinion. Incredible, incredible band.
@@mostlypeacefulslav1663 nope I'm with u all the way 100% a different league, as that's what I spend endless hours a night searching for bands that stand out and get me really excited by there music and dont just pump out the same old crap ,I only found ghost 12 months ago and I'm mad into them and after months of searching and not thinking I'd find another band that would excite me again ,I found blackbriar what a band ,what a voice plus zora is beautiful and the musical content love the story telling about witches ect I cant get enough ,on to find my next gem now lol have u checked blackbriar out u probably have as I'm always way late to the party lol ,take care :)
@@garystanton4347 So, I was unemployed because of injury from work for awhile a few years ago. I woke up every day, thought of a random country, usually something off the beaten path, like The Maldives, and look for a metal band from that country. I love thrash, so that would be my go to. I would just google "Maldives thrash band". I did this every day for a few months, and found a lot of interesting stuff. I like your style, long story short lol. Regarding Blackbriar, I just gave them a quick sample listen. I must say, not my thing, but sometimes, I learn to like something later, so I always bookmark recommendations from others, and will always check back at least once. Sometimes, headspace can impact what I think of music, so its always good try something new...twice :)
@@mostlypeacefulslav1663 blackbriar not my usual jam but just something about her ,I'm a dance music dj who loves all genres but was into metal 1st as a kid at school ,I like some death metal satyricon are cool ect just like stuff to be diffrent like when I found borknagar what a group the album winter thrice with that dude vortex his voice man now they seriously kick as man love it :) thrash was always my fave still love it but like all sorts as long as its heavy lol
They aren't really comparable to the greats from Finland and elsewhere, they play more a niche style. More progressive, mid-tempo, introspective stuff. I'd lump them in with Ne Obliviscaris, Opeth, etc., but that's a category within which no band really hits the spot for me, so I can't judge.
Insomnium is a good band, but for me Be'lakor is the best. Such a melodic and clean sound, and so many transitions. All the songs are great, not a single filler song.
A bit surprised. Only Venator made me cry. Most of Be'lakor's music is mostly gorgeous dreamrides for me. Can't say the same about Insomnium, most of their older stuff was written to evoke sadness e.g. the entire album of Across the Dark was like that
This is sooo good and awesome!!!great videos....i fricking love this band,i am so lucky i got to know their music!!cant wait to go see them live,even if the dont come to the states i ll fly whenever they'll play for sure.Greetings from Miami !!!
One of the most criminally underrated bands in history. Absolutely brilliant.
Well, only the good guys know them ;)
Yea I argee
@@canis_major heheh, true. :D
Totally agree
My favourite melodeath band for sure.
8:20 the last note of the track, the time it takes for light to travel from the sun to Earth.
Love this album so much. A true journey.
bro thats fking genius of them ! nice catch ! AMAZING ~!
the sun is within the earth.
never noticed.. makes me love this band even more. attention to details..
I really wouldn't say they're underrated, I'd say they're underexposed. Everyone whos heard them enough, rates them very highly.
yeah i listened 'neither shape nor shadow' 8-9 years ago and thought cool but kinda long for melodeath? I dunno. After Vessels released, I spend some time listening the album, now I consider them as my favorite band, astonishing but requires some investment to be pulled into.
wait till u see them, blown my mind a few times live, unreal

I think a lot of people can't get over the sound of the vocals but if you mean just in the melodeth genre then yeah I agree.
Countless skies was the first song I heard from them. Now, I’m hooked
I never heard of them 4 months ago
Now they’re my favourite band
Words cannot express how perfect Be'Lakor's music in every way.
We can at least try :)
@@Kaiokendrew but actually no. If you say something it's right but not quite. There is no other way to explain it to the normal human being but ✨music✨ and that is not the full truth.
Every song by this band:
First hearing - nice
Fifth hearing - I want to hear this on loop forever
As a fan of cosmic happenings, I am absolutely amazed by how lyrics and instruments got merged into a song about starbirth. Breathtaking.
I'm still super proud that they used my photo for the Single Album art for this song
You should be 🙌
Amazing song keep it up !!! Best band in melodeth metal 🎉
"Free at last, its final form. The Photon dashed for Earth" has gotta be one of the hardest lines in musical history
When you combine a Melodeath Metal song with planets and stars... Such a Goosebump bomb would be created ♥
What a masterpiece, it can't be more perfect than that.
7:05 Shadows of the Dying Sun!!! I hope one day Insomnium and Be'lakor will tour together.
Mother of God, Insomnium and Be'lakor would be a fantastic set. Great idea.
@@Whalesdude Don't forget Omnium Gatherum! Such tour would be so awesome.
@@middleofdreams And Ne Obliviscaris

I don't buy music often, but I bought this album the day after I discovered it... Perfect balance of power, atmosphere and technicity !
Did you notice that this song is 8'28" long ? A photon takes about 8'20" to get from the sun to the earth.
Genius.
Awesome observation, I wouldn't be surprised if these absolute masterminds thought of that
Really cool insight, thanks for pointing this out. Another layer of depth to Be'lakor's songcrafting. Hail Eris!
video is 8’28”, all instruments stop at 8’20” so yeah I’d say calculated
belakor's outros are pure magic
I am listen to metal since 40 years now, but this is one of the best songs i/ve ever heard
Exactly what I was thinking. One of the greatest songs of all time
One of their best tracks to date. I remember crying at 6:53 mark
Seriously. I'm crying Now (admittedly I'm VERY tired and a bit high) I'm so glad they did this! Why TF are they not more well known?! I don't know where I would be mentally w/o Be'lakor.

same.
it's so powerful it really makes me wanna cry of how damn good and beautiful it is
Since MONTHS I have this song in mind. I can't push it away, can't replace it, can't complain... I love this song
Although, Vessels is 4 years old, it's great to see these new lyric videos. They are nicely put together and help the lyrics to tell the story of the Album from start to finish.
Hopefully releasing these will help more people discover Be'lakor.
This would be mind blowing in 3-D in a planetarium.
lol so true
That riff 7:27 mins chills every time.
i've just discovered them and have been playing Vessels on repeat since. this song is pure gold. that intro, gosh!
Most perfect outro I've ever heard😭
Just recently discovered this band... speechless... They are simply amazing, best thing I have listened in years
Such a joyous beautiful song! love dancing and singing to it. Really lifts my spirits!

I came from the smoke of many fires... it is almost morning... No I wont stop listening! Sleep go away!
The best melo death metal band currently. No competition
amerildo22 amerildo i think insomnium is right up there too...
@@LadyLazarus1027 Same here. Insomnium and Be'lakor are both at the top for me for sure
Be'lakor is top 5 probably and they're awesome! But hard to say with so many good bands : Insomnium, Ne Obliviscaris...
They aren't really comparable to the greats from Finland and elsewhere, they play more a niche style. More progressive, mid-tempo, introspective stuff. I'd lump them in with Ne Obliviscaris, Opeth, etc., but that's a category within which no band really hits the spot for me, so I can't judge.
Insomnium is a good band, but for me Be'lakor is the best. Such a melodic and clean sound, and so many transitions. All the songs are great, not a single filler song.
This melody is truly haunting. This is an absolute MASTERPIECE, a song for the ages. I love this song
This cascade of embers. Fused into a star's ignition; a crucible for their collapse.
Seething crux of its ambition; the axiom of this expanse.
Some of the most outstanding and genius lyrics ever written, in my opinion.
Stellar evolution: the death metal ballad
I cried a little bit. This track gives me chills every time
I think you are exaggerating with the crying
Every time? This shit hasnt even been out a day
A bit surprised. Only Venator made me cry. Most of Be'lakor's music is mostly gorgeous dreamrides for me. Can't say the same about Insomnium, most of their older stuff was written to evoke sadness e.g. the entire album of Across the Dark was like that
when the album is years old and there still making content amazing work!
One of the greatest facets of beauty!
This is absoutely fantastic, awesome melodies and pure darkness! Brilliant
Be'lakor knows how to end a song perfectly 🖤
Me encanta su estilo y sonido ase tiempo soy fanático de ellos . of course !
даже глухой услышит хорошую мелодию.
This song is incredibly beautiful, almost brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for making this kind of music! 👏🏻
This song is EPIC!🔥🔥🔥
Every time i hear the start of the lead at 1:31 i can't help but think of Airwolf, love it.
Ha ha, that's a blast from the past💪
Can't wait for new album lads!
This beautifully made video makes the breathtaking masterpiece of a song even more breathtaking!
Science Metal.
Just like Allegaeon. Science Metal is the best.
@@murdock.12 Allegaeon is fucking epic indeed.
Science metal isn't a genre tho.
Allegaeon is a mix of melodic and tech death.
It's been years since I listened to BE'LAKOR, almost forgot about them...thanks for existing! 🤟
09.10.2022
Well... after hearing just one note or chord... I wouldn't forget them in a million years.
That last part , damn
Why I bought an acoustic guitar? The main reason: to learn this intro, the interlude and the outro.
did you?
Also it sounds more like classical guitar to me. Either way, I'm getting an acoustic to play this shit
I love this song.
Pure chef d'oeuvre !!!
this music is addicting! So well done! Masters! Milame gia poly talento!
✨Be'lakor ✨♥️
I really didn't think we would get another video for that album. Opened up youtube and was pleasently surprised
It ended before it began "To the stars it returned" Witness the photon.
unbelieveble.........
It's is so surprising these guys are from Australia. i mean with their awesome, hauntingly beautiful Nordic sound.
awesome technical quality of this band!
Fave song from the album 👌 can't wait for the next tour
you guys are the flowers of Australia!
6:27 fucking birds chimming somehow makes this part x100 more emotional. Grats to whomever though adding it.
Be’lakor-a suitable name for a new planet 🌎
No contest. Be'lakor is on top. Can't wait for the next iteration.
Absolute weapon of a tune!!!!!! ! !!
Great to see the lyrics and fill in the pieces on the astral theme. So perfect for that track. Nice work boys!!
Let's keep it secret ..no one is better than belakor.
😊 maybe Omnium Gatherum or Insomnium. All 3 are sublime.
I've loved this song since the album came out, i'm glad they've realised a beautiful lyric video !
LOVE THIS SONG!!! I cannot imagine what wonders will be on the new album
Stratospheric!
Masterpiece
This is sooo good and awesome!!!great videos....i fricking love this band,i am so lucky i got to know their music!!cant wait to go see them live,even if the dont come to the states i ll fly whenever they'll play for sure.Greetings from Miami !!!
The Outro !!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
In my top 3 of BE'LAKOR's songs
P.S. I love'em all
Same here
Literally the song that got me into Melodeath
Amazing, as always! So much magic.
Masterpiece like basically all their music, the best in the business. Cannot fuckin wait for their new album
Best band ever!
Metals heads talking about astrophysics = awesome
oh my god, it's beautiful. I wait the new album.
6:53 = Bliss
I appreciate both the somber sadness and badass iterations of the photon dashing for Earth.
Fun fact, a photon's journey to the earth takes about 8.20 minutes, which is also the approximate duration of the song!
Melbourne is the home of Melodeath in Australia. Some awesome bands from this city
4:37 - 5:02 this is what travelling at light speed through the galaxies must feel like...
Más la escucho, más me gusta.
this song hits you hard and deep, but on a level never experienced before...
(that's what she said)
Beautiful.
Beautiful
después de ACDC, lo mejor que ha dado AUstralia.
5:30 When you find more fries at the bottom of your bag of Macdonald's
I cried as well.
This is my fav song from you guys and this literally made me scream
As an astronomy fan I thank you
as a physicist i can kind of appreciate this
Exactly the kind of music video I imagined when listening to this song!
Video looks good! Glad to see someone thought about the song, before putting that together.
blows my mind
There is no other way to explain this to the normal human being but ✨music✨ and that is not even the full truth.
Excelente canción desde el comienzo hasta el fin pero desde 5:20 se convierte en una joya !!!
*🤘👹🤘badass sound and music video, me likey, me likey alot!*
Great Stuff!!!
Closer to the truth of creation than religion
