Wanja absolutely KILLED IT on this track, him and Keep are a match made in heaven!! I can't wait for the rest of the album- the guitars, drums, lyrics, harmonies, solos, etc are all absolutely top tier
He's relaxed until Obsidian says: "we're doing single takes again...no punch ins." Gotta hand it to Vyl, most people would have walked after a demand like that.
Finally. Something new. 8 years in the making.. Obsidian. C, congratulations.. waiting anxiously for the complete album. Will hopefully receive it in the mid of April, can't wait.. have ordered all formats available...
Not great on the promotion side it seems. I was actually just commenting about Obsidian's trick of running two full channels to give doubled track feel live. I looked on the streaming service and lo and behold this masterpeice was there.
Craziness: I randomly thought about you guys a couple of days ago, replayed 'Reptilian' and 'Epistemology' cuz those albums are awesome, and here you are releasing new material. Whether it was serendipity or clairvoyance or whatever, I'm just looking forward to the new album.
BEAT ME , DECEIVE ME BUT YOU CANT DEFEAT ME I CANT BE DENIED I AM PURIFIED.BREAK ME, FORSAKE ME BUT YOU CANT ENSLAVE ME I CANT BE DENIED .MY FATE YOU SHOULD NOT DECIDE
*I wrote the following comment on Arnt Obsidian's page:* This single could be interpreted as a continuation of the track "Introspection" from the album 'Epistemology' because both lyrics aim to become some sort of mantra overtime, to remind us about what we're fighting for. As you [Obsidian] wrote, "Katharsis is the purification process and the album is a ride of ups and downs embodying the life journey most of us go through." *Introspection:* "I see myself falling - I fly on broken wings Salvation calling - Elusive spirit free I feel that I'm lost - Embrace reality I ask what I must - Is this my destiny?" *Katharsis:* "I see the challenge ahead But I'll never give up before I am dead [...] I can't be denied My fate you shall not decide Beat me, deceive me But you can't defeat me I can't be denied I am purified" I'll stay on tune for the album release.
@@EvilSewnit I agree with you (especially on Universal Core !), but Thebon was just another level... I'd like to see Obisidian sing on a song like "The Mark of Power", for me one of the best singing performance in metal. (sorry if i made mistakes, i'm not a very good english speaker ^^)
Not as evil as Dissection, not as symphonic as Wintersun, not as unique as Keep Of Kalessin themselves used to be. Just another black/death/dark metal band that starts with melodic singing, but doesn't have a singer, and, despite of a million tracks and effects, just sounds average anymore. This is just generic and really boring, not a simgle note left in my ear ten seconds after the song has finished. Just the same way Emperor, Amorphis, Dimmu Borgir, Tiamat and so many more got ruined. Get it, Guys: YOU CAN NOT SING! Call the Ripper, or Soto, or some other melodic mercenary, or just let it be.
Mint song 🔥🤘🏻💀
Wanja absolutely KILLED IT on this track, him and Keep are a match made in heaven!! I can't wait for the rest of the album- the guitars, drums, lyrics, harmonies, solos, etc are all absolutely top tier
Thank you so much! I really feel that Keep Of Kalessin brings out the best in me and the music matches my skillset pretty much perfectly :)
Wanja. You absolute beast. Can't believe what I am hearing...
I took a shot everytime Wanja hit snare, bass drum or toms. I must say I'm getting a lil bit tipsy here
@@wanjanechtangroeger You are shining here! Huge track!
@@parris476 Thank you!
Takes me back to the Armada sound day, absolutely phenomenal
Obsidian Claw strikes again!
What a beauty.
Welcome back, Keep Of Kalessin! Cheers from Brazil!
Whooo! Randomly searched Keep to listen to some older songs and stumbled upon this! Awesome track!
those drums are unreal, damn
Glad I saw them play this at the 70000 tons cruise so epic
Epic extreme metal at it's best... powerful and demolishing... absolutely amazing! Congratulations... glad yo have Keep of Kalessin back at it's best!
I'm so happy that Keep now has Wanja on the drums; previous drummers were great, but nobody can match the consistency and endurance that Wanja has.
Vyl is a beast. Equally talented and consistent.
But Wanja looks so relaxed he might fall asleep.
@@johnny_eth yeah, Vyl is a beast no doubt. He paved all the way here!
He's relaxed until Obsidian says: "we're doing single takes again...no punch ins."
Gotta hand it to Vyl, most people would have walked after a demand like that.
Yess! I was missing some KoK 🔥
every single record this guys ever released is amazing!!! nothing but love for this band!
Oh yeah !! 🤘
Glad to see these guys are still going. I saw them open for Mayhem in Detroit for my 18th bday @Blondies and even got to meet Obsidian! 🤘🏻😎
Meget bra!!
The Kings have returned 🔥🔥
Welcome back 🤘🏾
Let's go. Again!
How great is this beast; still thinking if it's real!
Amazing, can’t wait for the album!
Finally. Something new. 8 years in the making.. Obsidian. C, congratulations.. waiting anxiously for the complete album. Will hopefully receive it in the mid of April, can't wait.. have ordered all formats available...
Such a rad release! Hails from South Africa 🇿🇦 🤘
Wow, what awesomness 🤘🤘
These guys are on a whole other level! So friggin sick!
Epic at its most epic!
ABOUT FUCKING TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing song! I'm looking forward to the whole album!
Such a nice surprise. I had no idea a new album was coming.
Not great on the promotion side it seems. I was actually just commenting about Obsidian's trick of running two full channels to give doubled track feel live. I looked on the streaming service and lo and behold this masterpeice was there.
Instantly brought to tears! Stellar instrumentation, relentless and powerful. Kalessin's triumphant return!
Can't wait for entire album!!
It sounds real good. Excelent!
The Keep of Kalessin we all love: blast beats, epic melodies, Arnt's picking hand having sex with the guitar.
hell yeah im so happy you guys are back! :D

As you [Obsidian] wrote, "Katharsis is the purification process and the album is a ride of ups and downs embodying the life journey most of us go through."
*Introspection:*
"I see myself falling - I fly on broken wings
Salvation calling - Elusive spirit free
I feel that I'm lost - Embrace reality
I ask what I must - Is this my destiny?"
*Katharsis:*
"I see the challenge ahead
But I'll never give up before I am dead
[...]
I can't be denied
My fate you shall not decide
Beat me, deceive me
But you can't defeat me
I can't be denied
I am purified"
I'll stay on tune for the album release.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but it's not gentle
I'm really trying but the rhyming lyrics are making me laugh so hard hahahaha
keyboard/synth needs to be mixed more into the background, the guitars are overwhelmed too much imo =)
Just give me back Through Times of War - Armada period. *sigh*
Wanja se preocupou mais em velocidade do que com melodia. Senti falta dele tentar entrar no clima, oscilar um pouco mais.
The music is here is killer, but the cheesy rhyming lyrics and weak vocals make it rather forgettable.
Song's cool but i miss Thebon... :(
We all do, but Obsidian has his moments where he shines as a vocalist too, epistemology’s title track is an example or universal core
@@EvilSewnit I agree with you (especially on Universal Core !), but Thebon was just another level... I'd like to see Obisidian sing on a song like "The Mark of Power", for me one of the best singing performance in metal.

@@pretox74 your English is fine! I understand where you are coming from.
metal hammer totaly slated this album.. ... wtf..
