Lyrics: Equus
Our fields alight
Is this a dream?
Glowing inferno
Reborn, red dawn
Searing, auric chariot
With karmic wheels, they burn again
The karmic wheels, turning again
Life devoured
The ruin, the blackened, these skinless halls
Bones laid bare, the bones of all
The garden deafened
To emerald’s end
Breathing synergy
Wild winds away - to glorify
Through the ashen haze
Reborn, black gaze
Searing, auric chariot
With karmic wheels, they turn again
The karmic wheels, burning again
Flame-kissed manеs
Winds cascading dawn
Of Boudica born
The earthen canvas, rivеrs of scars
Coursing, hooves beating, breathless
Forgotten forever
Burning again, burning again
Burning again, burning again
Her name is Mother...
Mother - And hell follows with Her
From ashen cities, grey auras, behold her pale horses
Framed by hell and veiled from heaven - this Pandemonium
Tears upon scorched dreams, pouring into chasms that seethe
Tidings tolled, too late, drowning as the shadows unfold

Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Lana Del Rey
Running - wild resistance
Bearing - the weight of the world
Rearing from the ghosts of the past
Dancing in clouds, dressage to the nameless dead
Echoed cries cast into the air
Inhaling the spirit of rein and ruin
All the rage
Exhaling what remains of reason
And this misery
All these memories
Fleeing - dying
Are these memories all dreams?
All these memories
Fear and pain, all...
Never to be free
All these memories
Fade away
Eyes closed to the sun, the sun
Lost in tears of silence

The mix between the clean and harsh vocals are one of the characterics of the band. They also sing different lyrics. Every part of this is amazing. The bass is awesome and carries the melody in some part. The harmony between the violin and the harsh vocals were just incredible.
God, I love Ne Obliviscaris. Can't wait to see them live again on their US tour next year.
I remember listening to their first record and I did cry. The music captivated me in a way I can’t describe. Ever since I’m a huge fan of their work. Great reaction ❤
That was outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. I was riveted from start to finish. FYI, ‘equus’ means “horse” in Latin.
The horse stands for all innocent animals who suffer from human cruelty and human made catastrophes (I think that's how Xen explained it).💔🐎
Equus (ek-woos) is the Latin word for horse, hence 'equestrian'. I loved the song, especially Tim's clean vocals and Xen's harsh. To have two guys doing vocals like this is unique in my experience. The violin sections were outstanding too. Needless to say, these guys sound absolutely awesome live. It's a mystical experience ! Did I mention they're an Australian band. Cheers guys.
I just saw a thumbnail to a video with familiar faces. I’d seen zombie by bad wolves from you two. It’s great to see you both still doing this and it’s crazy how much you’ve grown up. Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones
They're 3/5 Australian. Guitarist is French and Bassist Italian. ;)
That bass is just fire 🔥 amazing song
"I like my bass like I like my women...."
Thick and in my face. 👍😳👍
I checked out this song before listening to it again with you guys and the song is much better the 2nd time :) As a rule of thumb, any 12 minute long song requires multiples listens. I loved the bass BTW :)
This band requires you to be patient and listen to their song more than once to comprehend its excellence (except "Forget Not" that in the first listen I was mesmerized and thought that it was a Masterpiece), but even by listen to this song more than twice there's certain parts that didnt captivated me, one thing that you guys said was the bass, in general it was really good, but when it became more proeminent in the song it felt like "oh! They are giving space to their bass player to show that he can play well" and not something like "Oh! So cool! The way that they composed this part really fits the song!", and the other thing its that the drums, and especially the guitars, are way behind in the mix compared to the other instruments/vocals, but i think this is a nitpick thing. Anyway, there's one thing that shined in the end, that its the vocals, especially Tim, that improved so much since the last record, holy sh*t! The emotions that he transmited through some parts gived chills. Well, i give this song a 8.5/10, normally i would rate 9/10, but im giving space to the other songs that are going to coming from this album, that can surpass this one but arent a "Forget Not level".
there's only one word to describe this song: MASTERPIECE
Amazing composition, amazing vocals (harsh and clean), great guitar solo, the violins and that bass is fantastic. Reminded be of the great Steve DiGiorgio and his performance on Individual Thought Patterns. Oh and great video too.
Man really?
I can't even imagine someone criticizing this song. It's phenomenal 10/10 perfect song. Keeping the listener engaged throughout 12 minutes is some serious talent tho!
Not much prog metal bands can do that. I won't be surprised if this song end up as my SOTY since the end of 2022 is just few weeks away.
A lot of people say this song is too long. I blame tiktok for shortening our attention span since Ne O's last album hahaha
@@Ivan-ow5xc I can understand when you listen to it the first time that it feels like some parts are repeated too many times but once you heard it 2-3times you generally understand it was necessary to make it more impactfull.
@@M4ke4l there's not even that much repetition. though i think the one riff in the middle part is kind of boring. otherwise it's a great song
When used successfully repetition is a huge tool for a successful song and a real show of talent when crafted correctly. Ukrainian black metal bands like Drudkh and Raventale have been doing this for years.
Dil ki baat kardi janab apne!
Personally, I really like the bass being at the front of the mix. I'd like to hear more bass spotlights. All too often it can be drowned out by the rest of the instrumentation.
Damn! now this is how you write a Progressive masterpiece!
everything about this was outstanding! the video, the vocals, guitar solo. reminds me how opeth used to make me feel before they turned into a boring 70's worship band.
Track of the year contender \m/. Regards from Portugal!!!
Damn. That's some good Ne O'!
I get some Amorphis vibes from the vocals. Love it.
Got chills (or kylmäväreet as we say in the land of turmion kätilöt 😅), soooo beautiful! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ne Obliviscaris + Katatonia - We waiting :D
Progressive music at its finest. Only the Ocean and Intronaut come close. A wonderful era for music.
Persefone
Amazing!!!!
a perfect example of how to play prog music without loosing soul...:)
as a not a big fan of prog metal I have to admit this song is epic..it's great !! that first riff sounded like a metalcore riff..probably just because they played similar notes using the same guitar tuning.. Everything including the video is great !
Today I saw a store called "Equus" and immediately got this song in my head.
Fantastic song
Mm that bass ❤
Masterpiece but possibly a few minutes too long but outside of that Geez the Musicianship here is Superb...the Story is very Emotional as I believe it's in reference to the Horrific Bushfire in Queensland that destroyed many Homes and Billions of Animals were lost...I got a bit Teary-Eyed 😢 like I said it's a Masterpiece
Great Review Fellas 🤘🤘
if you didn't like the bass mix in equus... interesting to see what you'll think of graal's.... very surprising complaint, i gotta say
For me Ne Obliviscaris have always have some interesting/weird basslines in most of their songs, but I do agreed it felt little like if someone did a cover on bass or something, but I did enjoy anyway so, hehe :D.
I am excited for their new album
That was a great song.
These kinds of song need more than one listen. The first time I listened to it, I sort of enjoyed it, but there were parts that I considered irrelevant. However, after my 5th or 6th everything started to pull together.
Are you Brazilians?

O baixo muito trabalhado em todo som e os vocais juntos também me incomodam, eu acredito que se tivesse momentos mais minimalistas em algumas partes da música ai sim ficaria bom. Por isso Devour Me Colossus, (Part I): Blackholes ainda é minha favorita.
Please complete listening reaction to Pray For Water by Borealis
These guys are so criminally underrated.
i think the bass line in the first part of the song is amazing, but in the riffy middle part, it is too much in your face and clashes with the violin part a bit
You should react toArrayan Path - Oh dark tears (aftermath)
This song is ok, but "And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope" is still theirs magnum opus, and one of the best prog metal songs ever.
Forget not and painters are the best to me
@@imabigpotato3249 Agreed, but i think "Forget Not" is above any other song.
Just to your comment in your review about "black face"..if you had read the description about the video clip from the band here in RUclips, you would have seen that the female dancer is representing a scorched mother earth...you should save your judgement and actually read everything that the band has written about this work of art, about a very pertinent subject; namely climate change and the worsening climate events that are occurring all over the world..this masterpiece of music is about the bushfires/forest fires that occurred in Australia in 2019/2020..you would do well to look up the lyrics of this musical work of art and feel the power of the lyrics..lecture over.
You should learn how to detect sarcasm. Lecture over.
@@APREACTS maybe you should have been more explicit with your sarcasm.. I'm sure the band would have been concerned with being accused of using "black face"🤷🏻♂️I was, on their behalf..
Explicit with the sarcasm, the defeats the point of being sarcastic. People need to stop being offended on behalf of others, it is unproductive.
@@APREACTS maybe you shouldn't use sarcasm about something as sombre and serious as the bush (forest) fires as we had in Australia in 2019/20. Many people died, it was estimated that over a billion animals died and our country was scarred, land and people..and you use sarcasm while talking about this piece of art that Ne Obliviscaris has created? 🤷🏻♂️ Just sayin'..
Fan of their previous work. But this one became a little boring. It didn't grab me for the whole song. Less can be more...
The musicianship and production is off the charts with this one. What puts me off, is that (imo) it lacks an identity. It sounds like a blend of all Ne Obliviscaris songs, which makes it a bit boring for me. But maybe I need more listens.
Your son is 100% right here, the harsh vocals are garbage on this track and the way they are pushed into the back makes them sound as bad as Lars snare on st.anger... the song is just to long and boring, there is a bridge section before the solo where they just repeat the same riff over and over and over and it goes on to long... I absolutely love this band but I wish they trim the fat and write more concise and in your face music as it would be way more powerful!
Xen, the harsh vocalist, definitely seems to take too much of a back seat role in this one. I agree that they should have used him better - adding a bit more drama to the song as he most certainly does on songs like Intra Venus and on And Plague Flowers the Kaleidescope.
@Peter Karargiris it just sounds overly phlemgy and weak and the volume on it is super low so it just doesn't fit.
@@eliisaac go to an otolaryngologist or buy a new pair of decent headphones
@@saukkonen1328 why? Cause in my opinion the harsh vocal sound like shit? They sadly do
@@eliisaac exactly, but they objectively do not. So you must seek some help to figure out whatever is off with your hearing
Отлично лупят Австралийцы...жду альбом . .Предыдущие альбомы хороши.
Единственное скрипка там или альт вооще не в тему. Ну прям совсем ..
