it souds like death metal, but they performing symphonic black metal, cause they have the orchresta and the seregor's thin voice for a black metal singer it's my opinion greetings from hispan-metalhead
People are complaining because they feel like giving their advice. Also black metal isn't really about doing the opposite of what everyone wants you to do, it's more about doing the most violent sounding music, not giving a fuck about production quality ( Which is totally different than not giving a fuck about musical quality). You suggest that people complaining about a black metal album makes it even more black metallish, but in that case bands like Cradle of Filth would be ranking quite high in black metal spirit, at least in that criteria, eventhough we all know that it is certainly not the case
The lyrics sound juvenile on purpose I think. This is supposed to be a demented FAIRY TALE. Last time I checked, fairy tales were written in a much more simplistic manor. This band has proven before that they can write very elegant lyrics in the past. It's all about the vibe you guys.
to me definitely the 4:04 part is the most horrifying one,that agressive violin part and the clown on the swing + that 'ONE THE SWING' Part FuckiNg AWESOME ! LOVING THE 3 songs released,cant wait for the whole album!
what I love most about this band is they put real brutal horror into their music, not some made up shit. WWII was real, domestic violence is real too. I loved Where the corpses sink forever - it was epic! and I have a feeling that this album is gonna be just as good.
not since i was 11 hearing the song "Black Sabbath" has a piece of music ever made me feel genuine dread, and horror, and still enjoy it. Carach Angren have made a jaded metal-head feel again. You're the greatest, Carach Angren!
Yes it is a completely different story setting, yes it is more guitar driven then other albums but it fits perfectly what the story tells. For me till now this would be my favourite song. I suggest people to listen and get into the lyrics/story and live up to the sound it portraits..those who listen music like that know what i mean. Fantastic work, great guitar work and amazing symphonic tunes. Greetings from Schinnen
'This is no Fairytale' is my favorite CD from Carach Angren. Black/Death/Doom/Gothic Metal etc... whatever you call it, it's very cool. I have a few of their CD's.
Carach Angren is an amazing band and so far I'm missing the atmosphere they had in their previous albums, "Lammendam" and "Death Came Through A Phantom Ship" especially had some great melodic tunes... I can appreciate that they are dealing with "real life" issues and I'm sure the album is going to be awesome... its not bad... just... different
Lyricaly much more brutal then previous things. I went for nightwalk listening to that first time, all-lenght and without reading lyrics anywhere before.. and the story kept me interested all the time. Disgusted and outraged sometimes :) Great Work.
I love you guys, and this album ,,This Is No Fairytale,, will be so fuckin' great !! I Love how you telling story through your songs, and that story is really Great ! Looking forward to see you live at Brutall Assault in Czech Republic, you are the reason why i will be there :)
Snobs in the comments be like: "These lyrics are forced... Meh!" "This isn't trve black metal...nyeh!" "This sucks that sucks everything sucks!" So yea I guess the only good black metal is something that was recorded with a sock and has a vocalist who, instead of singing lyrics, just coughs rhythmically... Good to know:)
I don't really even listen to much black metal these days, and when I do it's usually symphonic or not-kvlt ones like Dimmu Borgir and Xanthochroid. I don't think the lyrics are particularly well thought out in places. Some parts are good, but other parts feel like they've written the lyrics before the music and then not adjusted them to go with the rhythm of the accompaniment they made for it.
noobsmustdie453 Glad i could have been some help. In their past albums they have dealt with text in a lyrical/musical way but on this one they have been a bit more loose with the text. If you read some of the lyrics they don't even sound lyrical but more grammatical like sentences out of a book. That's how I see and deal with this album anyway.
I bought this album with the planchet and love it please season of mist finish this albums music video story beautiful and dark album it deserves to be finished properlly
You're one of the few bands I can recommend without doubt. Amazing as always. This is more brutal than the past albums, but it's awesome in it's own wicked and creepy way! Greetings from Mexico! Waiting for you to come again here!
Ok, I have the answer to the lyric comments. I have listened to all the songs currently released from this album (There's No Place...., Killed and Served....., and now this). I have also listened to all 3 of CA's albums. Is it not because maybe this story is set in more modern times, and that's why their lyrics are not "verily we musteth burneth them at thy stake" and such? That's my theory, maybe they're using more up-to-date (as it were) lyrics?
Mannnnnnn, why can't we just praise them for actually releasing something, even if we dislike it? I like it a lot. Like, I really love it. But so many people feel otherwise and being so judgmental. Let's just listen, and do at least as little as appreciate their efforts for putting something out there for us.
People got real judgement on this band real quick. I don't get it personally, CA is keeping it fresh if you ask me. How would people react if it was a "same thing different album " as with so many other bands? Honestly I think most people can't handle these lyrics because they are unsettling and shit like this is extremely hard to deal with.
I think it is because people always seek some thing to complain about. If they cannot complain about a band doing the same old shit over and over again, they complain about music being too weird of terrible or what ever they can come up with. Personally I think it's said people are like that
Haha right? Sadly there are a lot of such families around these days... Alcoholic fathers beating their children and wives, who just befall depression and commit suicide... children are given no education, no one to be inspired by when they're still young... They are only inspired by depression and negligence and usually do the same as their parents, either drink over the limit or commit suicide. That's the reality sadly. There are some of whom actually make a life out of them, but most of the time I don't think that's the case. And Carach Angren has a great sense of introducing such things to us. Like the title of the album says: "This Is No Fairytale". Cheers!
If you are thinking of a third video i don't think there's another one after this. If you are talking about the song the entire album is one continous story
I totally get why people dislike this, with the weird lack of song structure and forced lyrics But I think that CA have evolved beyond writing mere songs. Reading these lyrics along to the song makes me feel like I'm reading a book and the music is like my thoughts or something, and now with the visual aspects.. They haven't released a new musical album guys. They've written and directed a horror film.. for your ears.
Lyrics are not different than other black mmetal bands in essence, it s just the different form. While other black metal bands have poetical abstract lyrics, this band have extreme simplw lyrics.
Honestly I think people are saying the lyrics are forced is because the guitar melody during the verses is really oddly timed. So it feels and sounds extremely forced due to the lyrics not "fitting" the melody right. However I think that's kind of intentional, so I don't hold it against the song. I still like it a lot, can't wait to pre-order it when I get paid this week!
This is without any doubt a band with the most curious lyrical prose I've ever heard. I'm new to these guys, and after a few songs, it seems like the lyrics are really more of a narration than orthodox music lyrics...
Best black metal album ever written. Seriously. So intense, so terrifying... I was seriously in shock when it finished. Couldn't listen to anything for an entire hour after it. The lyrics are incredible. The fact that they were more realistic in their approach, telling about horrors of the real world instead of all those ghost things made it a lot more terrifying to me. Domestic violence, rape, abuse, murder, insanity, those are all things that we can see in any newspaper. That made the lyrics a lot more powerful to me. And the music itself fit perfectly with the lyrics. The beginning of this song, for example, you can really feel the despair of those abused and traumatized children trying to escape the mad life they were living. Really powerful stuff.
+NocturneKing You can't disagree with someone's impression. And if you disagree with a thought, idea or whatever you should make an argument to explain why you disagree. Otherwise it's like your comment doesn't mean shit. xD
Oh, you have every right to disagree with me, I don't mind it. Could you list some black metal albums that you think are better than this one? Would love to check then out.
I love their lyric style. Different than what youd be used to but if you dont go in with the expectation of your typical rhythmic styles youll find a more melodic style of music fits a more melodic style of lyricism.
Can understand why some people don't like it but personally, this is one of the best new bands in black metal right now, I'm seriously enjoying the songwriting here, like a horror story as much as a song.
How the fuck can people say the "lyrics placement" is terrible? Are you guys fucking serious? This album is AMAZING AS FUCK, a masterpiece alonge with all their other albuns. Seriously, people will always find reasons to say shit about someone else's work, even if they have to make up one.
This is honestly one of the most disturbing things I have ever listened to, it's a good job I love the feeling of shock! I'm obsessed with this album, but I don't have anyone to share the love of it with since I don't know anyone who'd like this type of story
Many critics are pointing towards the lyrics. Hänsel and Gretel is a german fairytale by the brothers grimm. Maybe the lyrics reflecting or considering this? I like them! Second thing: Can someone (Season of Mist employee) explain why this video isnt available in Germany like the other?
This is absolutly brilliant as always . That new alnum will be awesome i know it . I end my talk saying that in my youth i had clown phobia :) , thank u Carach ...
I don't know, its different being guitar driven but I still enjoy it though.Not as good as the first three maybe but I believe this album will grow on me and Ill consider it as good as them.I feel like the lyrics placement works unlike other people have said.
Why are people complaining. Hasn't black metal always been about doing to opposite of what everyone wants you to do?
That. Also, they don't even label themselves as black metal (anymore, at least)
yeah its 'horror metal' ,and it is scary it does the job of a horror movie ! awesome !!!!
it souds like death metal, but they performing symphonic black metal, cause they have the orchresta and the seregor's thin voice for a black metal singer
it's my opinion greetings from hispan-metalhead

Black metal was always about being enjoyable for the musicians. Its supposed to be about self satisfaction
listening to their songs is better than watching a movie
the movie is really poor but helps people from otrhes countries understanding the story
S.O.D. coined the phrase,
Their songs were scarier than the movie back 1992..
It's like a musical creepy pasta.
CreamPie9uy Definitely!
Exactly!
Yes, that's why Carach Angren is my favourite band
The lyrics sound juvenile on purpose I think. This is supposed to be a demented FAIRY TALE. Last time I checked, fairy tales were written in a much more simplistic manor. This band has proven before that they can write very elegant lyrics in the past. It's all about the vibe you guys.
Oh, I thought this was no fairy tale. ;)
"Manner".
I don't see how the lyrics sound juvenile tbh, the vocal patterns and odd time signatures might make it harder for people to follow tho
Yes they are.....
I think I get you. Not juvenile, just lazy and boring.
Amazing..one of the few extreme bands doing something different, exciting and inventive. That clown part was terrifying haha.
I agree completely, something different then 'kill kill, satan, devil and slaughtering lambs'
Zeheroth69 Exactly the reason I've never been able to get into black metal.
Kirolos Maged they aren't supposed to play anything they play what they feel is right, and this is getting there
even the previous being better this certain has a good history being told
heres johnny He's cute ahhaah
to me definitely the 4:04 part is the most horrifying one,that agressive violin part and the clown on the swing + that 'ONE THE SWING' Part
FuckiNg AWESOME ! LOVING THE 3 songs released,cant wait for the whole album!
what I love most about this band is they put real brutal horror into their music, not some made up shit. WWII was real, domestic violence is real too.
I loved Where the corpses sink forever - it was epic! and I have a feeling that this album is gonna be just as good.
No words to add, agreed completely
real pain, domestic violence , psicopath and more ,diferent of unecessary gore tipcal of blck metal or simphonic black metal
not since i was 11 hearing the song "Black Sabbath" has a piece of music ever made me feel genuine dread, and horror, and still enjoy it. Carach Angren have made a jaded metal-head feel again. You're the greatest, Carach Angren!
Love the story telling. Amazing.
Favourite song off album...the guitar, violin and piano riffs are so menacing
Yes it is a completely different story setting, yes it is more guitar driven then other albums but it fits perfectly what the story tells. For me till now this would be my favourite song. I suggest people to listen and get into the lyrics/story and live up to the sound it portraits..those who listen music like that know what i mean. Fantastic work, great guitar work and amazing symphonic tunes.

I wholeheartedly agree, their first two albums are better.
I usually don't like Sympho-black but DAMN this is some dank shit
Exactly. So heavy.
I love the way the guitars are sounding, seems more present, the riffs are more improved, and the lyrics are also good, dramatic and frightening
Lyricaly much more brutal then previous things. I went for nightwalk listening to that first time, all-lenght and without reading lyrics anywhere before.. and the story kept me interested all the time. Disgusted and outraged sometimes :) Great Work.
10/10 best song about pie
these lyrics are fuckin hilarious.
this is why i love carach anrgren.
+KasparovBBQ Best part
Never trust strangers offering free candy, kids.
Okay papa 😂😅
really good! i love the art style and as always im looking forward to see how the plot escalates. already pre-ordered this album.
Loved it, cant wait for the full album
Excellent
Why is it "Excellent"?
I love you guys, and this album ,,This Is No Fairytale,, will be so fuckin' great !! I Love how you telling story through your songs, and that story is really Great ! Looking forward to see you live at Brutall Assault in Czech Republic, you are the reason why i will be there :)
The lyrics aren't bad. They're just really different.
Carach angren.. My favorite band ever.
Snobs in the comments be like:
"These lyrics are forced... Meh!"
"This isn't trve black metal...nyeh!"
"This sucks that sucks everything sucks!"
So yea I guess the only good black metal is something that was recorded with a sock and has a vocalist who, instead of singing lyrics, just coughs rhythmically... Good to know:)
I don't really even listen to much black metal these days, and when I do it's usually symphonic or not-kvlt ones like Dimmu Borgir and Xanthochroid. I don't think the lyrics are particularly well thought out in places. Some parts are good, but other parts feel like they've written the lyrics before the music and then not adjusted them to go with the rhythm of the accompaniment they made for it.
noobsmustdie453 It's not supposed to go with the rhythm... some of the vocal parts are simply narration to the story.
Marc Hoyland Now I know, the songs work much better for me. You said it in another comment to me and it has really helped.
noobsmustdie453 Glad i could have been some help. In their past albums they have dealt with text in a lyrical/musical way but on this one they have been a bit more loose with the text. If you read some of the lyrics they don't even sound lyrical but more grammatical like sentences out of a book. That's how I see and deal with this album anyway.
speedgo41 "Recorded with a sock."
10/10 NYEH
Love this band and the lyrics is soo awesome
Ahh can't wait for the new album!
New song dropping today !!!
EPIC MASTERPIECE !
Cannot wait the whole album! :O *o*
Hansel and Gretel
that change of tempo around 5:25 .. damn!! can't wait to receive their new cd
This is utterly insane and amazing.
Fantastic opener. Looking forward to the album
They need to do the entire album. I love these videos and does the story great justice. The artwork is so cool too.
Please do every track of the album like this. Please.
Una de las mejores bandas que conocí del Black Metal Sinfónico
I bought this album with the planchet and love it please season of mist finish this albums music video story beautiful and dark album it deserves to be finished properlly
this is freaking awesome!! REALLY AWESOME!!! such a great band..
You're one of the few bands I can recommend without doubt. Amazing as always. This is more brutal than the past albums, but it's awesome in it's own wicked and creepy way! Greetings from Mexico! Waiting for you to come again here!
Well the past albums are ghost stories and such.. this one is about child abuse, so it's definately grimmer and more horrifying.
Ok, I have the answer to the lyric comments.
I have listened to all the songs currently released from this album (There's No Place...., Killed and Served....., and now this). I have also listened to all 3 of CA's albums.
Is it not because maybe this story is set in more modern times, and that's why their lyrics are not "verily we musteth burneth them at thy stake" and such?
That's my theory, maybe they're using more up-to-date (as it were) lyrics?
Beautiful music 🐣
GENIUS and hard work
I can watch all these videos over and over absolutely amazing
Love the movie feeling of the keyboards! The lyrics, texts whatever they are...
Mannnnnnn, why can't we just praise them for actually releasing something, even if we dislike it?
I like it a lot. Like, I really love it. But so many people feel otherwise and being so judgmental.
Let's just listen, and do at least as little as appreciate their efforts for putting something out there for us.
Surpassed itself, good fellows I am proud of you, I can't wait for a new album
The rest o the album is great too! Hoping for more lyric vids from it =)
Best song on the album. This whole album is like a Tim Burton horror movie.
People got real judgement on this band real quick. I don't get it personally, CA is keeping it fresh if you ask me. How would people react if it was a "same thing different album " as with so many other bands? Honestly I think most people can't handle these lyrics because they are unsettling and shit like this is extremely hard to deal with.
Judgemental *
I think it is because people always seek some thing to complain about. If they cannot complain about a band doing the same old shit over and over again, they complain about music being too weird of terrible or what ever they can come up with.
Personally I think it's said people are like that
Their work is amazing. I really enjoy the way they make their lyrics into a story. It is very unique and catchy.
@Veronica Lynn Carach Angren are by far my number one metal band.
I just want those kids to be happy, Goddammit, is that too much to ask?
Haha right? Sadly there are a lot of such families around these days... Alcoholic fathers beating their children and wives, who just befall depression and commit suicide... children are given no education, no one to be inspired by when they're still young...

Like the title of the album says: "This Is No Fairytale". Cheers!
Name of the album: There is no Fairytale.
I honestly think this is pretty amazing.
That clown is horrifying.
Great discovery. Intense.
Please tell me this song has a third continuing
If you are thinking of a third video i don't think there's another one after this. If you are talking about the song the entire album is one continous story
Great song !

Amazing song and honestly, they captured exactly how I feel around clowns. :D
This is amazing
These guys are the best story tellers in music
Fuckin metal masterpieces
These poor kids..
how come i just found out about this now, i love it so much.
Omg
Since when have there been ads in songs ???
Particularly Carach Angren songs..
Yes to Carach Angren👍
No to ads.!!!👎
Pay for premium. If you have the time, you have the money

This is without any doubt a band with the most curious lyrical prose I've ever heard. I'm new to these guys, and after a few songs, it seems like the lyrics are really more of a narration than orthodox music lyrics...
What happened to the the brilliance and poetry of "Where The Corpses Sink Forever" lyrics?
well I love it it cant be easy to do this
Exelente material de Carach de verdad q con cada cancion demuestran porque son los dioses del horror metal
This band is so fire and unique
Best black metal album ever written. Seriously. So intense, so terrifying... I was seriously in shock when it finished. Couldn't listen to anything for an entire hour after it.

Oh, you have every right to disagree with me, I don't mind it.
Could you list some black metal albums that you think are better than this one? Would love to check then out.
Diogoepronto I know its cringeworthy but the lyrics being easier to understand makes it easier to follow in terms of the story.
Diogoepronto Black? Really?
last year they played in Roeselare (Belgium) they was very good
These Carach Angren lyric videos are fucking amazing!
I love their lyric style. Different than what youd be used to but if you dont go in with the expectation of your typical rhythmic styles youll find a more melodic style of music fits a more melodic style of lyricism.
PLEASE MAKE MORE
Thix band i d th d greatest find in a decade
loved it when he said Gingerbread house! XD awesome vid of my year in this genre
brutal and amusing love it
dont know why this is unlisted its so great
ouha le style ^^ , amazing, i like it!!
that was very good
That lyrics are awesome :3 :D
Can understand why some people don't like it but personally, this is one of the best new bands in black metal right now, I'm seriously enjoying the songwriting here, like a horror story as much as a song.

Fucking dark.
Not sure why people don't like the lyrics, I thought they conjured up a great feel of confusion and despair.
super😍😍
Seems like part 2 of "When Crows Tick On Windows"
Every album has its own storyline. This album is about an abusive family. So yeah, each song is a part 2 of each other.
This is honestly one of the most disturbing things I have ever listened to, it's a good job I love the feeling of shock! I'm obsessed with this album, but I don't have anyone to share the love of it with since I don't know anyone who'd like this type of story
I'm waiting for the continuation :)
All the haters can hate, but this album fn rules.
Many critics are pointing towards the lyrics. Hänsel and Gretel is a german fairytale by the brothers grimm. Maybe the lyrics reflecting or considering this? I like them! Second thing: Can someone (Season of Mist employee) explain why this video isnt available in Germany like the other?
Sick
So fucking grim. Awesome track!
This is absolutly brilliant as always . That new alnum will be awesome i know it . I end my talk saying that in my youth i had clown phobia :) , thank u Carach ...
I don't know, its different being guitar driven but I still enjoy it though.Not as good as the first three maybe but I believe this album will grow on me and Ill consider it as good as them.I feel like the lyrics placement works unlike other people have said.
This is so cool.
Elitists be like: "this is poser black metal... you're not trve kvlt 😤"
The clown part is so creepy.... AMAZING!!!!
fantastica canzone e video abbastanza bello
This is very interesting!
