Not only is this song friggin' amazing, the production has a very organic & raw feel. Very violent guitar tone. Guess I better get my VISA ready to buy this CD! Great job, HG! ♬
This is beyond incredible, Hannes you are the greatest metal composer of this millennium (along with the other fine Gentlemen in Obscura). This is mind blowing.
He's way up there for me for sure. Not my absolute top guy though. Lately I've been wondering if my other favorite drummer/composer is worthy of that accolade with incredible masterpieces like this under his belt: ruclips.net/video/eJozrDgRNLo/видео.html
Ive gathered that Hannes really fucking digs Opeth so the fact that theyre an inescapable subconscious influence to SOME degree isn't surprising..... But I also read him write somewhere (at least I think it was him) that he sees what he's trying to work on these days as being "contrary to Opeth" *shrugs*
+Zyborggian This is Zyborggian. I was wrong. In case the original commenter even sees this. Just want to set the record straight that Opeth is really hit or miss for Hannes from what he told me (much like Periphery is for me) and that hearing that era of Opeth (late 90s to mid 2000s) just opened doors for him in what he felt he could express in his music. Again I feel the same way about VERY select picks from Periphery haha. Some of their stuff is infinitely more prog than their other stuff...
Zyborggian in what part of the sentence "technical as fuck" did I say it's good only because of that??? I like technical DM but that doesn't mean that anything that's not technical is bad.
666sicksatan666 Of course not. I wasn't implying you meant that. I was just stating a related opinion. There's a lot of that kind of stuff I like too like Origin and Severed Savior. The latters worth checking out if you dig this kind of music but also like even more brutal shit :P
Zyborggian jjajajaja ok no problem man....I love origin, severed saviour and several others. Obscura, cephalic carnage, spawn of possession, gorod, etc.....Thats why I loved this song
This is my favorite song from your first solo album Hannes Grossmann. I wonder would you have used this song on Obscura’s fourth album Akróasis if you didn’t step down from drumming in Obscura? Please correct me if I’m wrong otherwise? The title of this song is really cool to and so technical as well I love it and The vocals and guitars and bass guitar all rock too with the drums as well! 10/10 for me!
Sovereign and subtle sources of souls Planets mightily merge in one vacuity A distant dream from afar arises, arises by the sea Untouched by immense unlight to be Life flows across in aeons of human self-conceit Call me the devil, call to arms darkest one To be your voice in the dark Call me your horror, call me to crave when your heaven is torn apart Untouched but seen by those yet unseen Light flows across for aeons in spectral self-conceit Call me the devil, call me the flame, call me when your heaven is torn apart Oh blackest aeon - evaluated force Holy mother, dreadful creature - be the reason for all cause Sing for me rightful father - marrow of the soul Sacred seal of iniquity open up, open up thy womb Severed souls, take me to the netherworld where sacred souls take you down inside This blood guilt incurred by communion casts down the flame of hate to one Untouched by immense unlight to be Life flows across in aeons of shallow hearted self-conceit I see you burn in rousing fire What came from the water must be drowned in the sea
Florian Magnus Maier Look into everything hes ever done You wont be sorry. ;) V. Santura does some bits too and the two of thems mutual bands Dark fortress and Noneuclid released KICKASS albums last year :D
Großartiges Album - danke dafür. Besonders durch die vielen verschiedenen Gastgitarristen gibt es sehr viel zufriedenstellende Abwechslung. Eine Frage habe ich allerdings noch - Hast du das Solo in diesem Lied gespielt? Im Booklet steht darüber nichts näher...
Johannes Großmann ah die credits - sehr gut. viel erfolg weiterhin noch! lg und der zerbrochene drumstick mit durchgestrichener korn signatur ist bei mir gut aufgehoben :P
It doesn't actually say who did this solo in the booklet. It does say "solo: Hannes (with friendly help of samplitude crossfades)" But this may be in reference to the 4 bar drum solo section about 30 seconds before the guitar solo. But maybe Hannes did play the guitar solo, he can play guitar...
Shane Clough I composed and played the solo...but I had to make a lot of cuts and edits. First I wanted to record a demo to show the guitar player soling how I think the solo should sound like. But then it turned out to be like this and I thought "that's good enough already". Even though it's heavily pro-tooled. That ending run...I can't play stuff like that to be honest, I just know the theory behind it.
I agree it's not as good but still I love all 3 singles and when I get home to my apartment tonight I'm going to listen to my vinyl and finally hear what the fuss is about for people that like this album haha. Tom & Linus's contributions from what I've heard so far are really cool and Steffen's sound is obvious and easy to distinguish. Honestly it sounds like I expected it to without Hannes so I'm happy :) Just not head over heels crazy about it like I was with this album's release. But Hannes said there's none of his signature approach to neoclassical/harmonic minor melodies and so far thats proving true... haha
Zyborggian Aeon Illuminate is a faction in the RTS game Supreme Commander. Their theme is called "The Aeon Illuminate". This isn't either of those things.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life which has this name by my favorite death metal composer. I find that game when I look for this too. So I'm sorry you got mislead lol.
i don't get the point...if is his solo album then he play guitars,vocals and all the other stuff,i guess...or what.Simply i don't get the point of this...honestly this could be an obscura's song
I think he is responsible for 90% of the material. He has also included a bunch of external musicians. But yes, I agree, should have just made it Obscura stuff. This album seems like an ego trip. He was probably jealous of Christian's solo project xD But it's fucking rad anyway so who cares? \:D/
It might sound similar, but I arrived at a point with these songs where I didn't wanna have any compromises. In Obscura I don't write lyrics, don't compose any vocal lines or solos. If I'd do so it wouldn't be a band anymore, because in a band you work together and make compromises...you're getting it now?
@@jonp.3674 Yeah... this is 5 years late. You guys are hilarious. You speak as if he was the founder of the band and had complete control or something. It wasn't his band, and he can't just write all the music for a band that's not his. That's why he did solo stuff. Cause he wanted to write all the music. Or most of it, anyway. It should not have taken an explanation from the man himself to figure this out. And to say he made this music cause he was on an ego trip and jealous of someone else's music? Honestly, you're just a dick. He's a musician, and wanted to write music on his own. Just like all the thousands of other artists who have produced art with little or no collaboration. I suppose you think if someone does a painting they are on an ego trip or jealous of other people's work?
3:34 is incredible
Not only is this song friggin' amazing, the production has a very organic & raw feel. Very violent guitar tone. Guess I better get my VISA ready to buy this CD! Great job, HG! ♬
Not only is a superb drummer, but have incredible composing skills, congrats with the new (AMAZING) album, Hannes!
+Hadelkh And another one is already in the works! :D Another two actually haha Hannes writes so fast. One from Alkaloid and one from this solo stuff.
This is beyond incredible, Hannes you are the greatest metal composer of this millennium (along with the other fine Gentlemen in Obscura). This is mind blowing.

Such mastery yet again
Maybe the best song ever I am madly in love with this one
Yeah dude the melodies are just unreal as fuck/CLASSIC/SUPER fucking emotional, right? Haha I feel. Its 11/10 for sure
Exactly Especially 2:26 of course 😉
@@emiliantoutkewicz9286 and also 5:53 - 6:46
@@romanregina1109 Rather 5:53 - 8:21 but yes
You are truly a hellish gift to the death metal underworld, HG! This is just mind-blowing!
Decade old still one of the greatest fucking songs ever written. Pure inspiration.
Big ups from Italy!
awesome! great work!
Just bought the digital release, awesome stuff!
hannes, sau geil :) Killer!
Holy fucking shit, that's awesome
6 minutes in reminds me of some Opeth from the My Arms, Your Hearse days. Great song.

amazing music.
Goddamit,more solo work?Im really excited to hear the next obscura album.:)
This literally was supposed to be the next Obscura album lmfao
Wow awesome! I love it and I can't wait to buy it!! Congrats man. Could you list the lineup for the album? Please. Thank you in advance
YESSS!!! \m/
TECHNICAL AS FUCK!!!.....Hannes you rule man!!!
It's not good BECAUSE it's "technical" though if you ask me haha

Sovereign and subtle sources of souls
Planets mightily merge in one vacuity
A distant dream from afar arises, arises by the sea
Untouched by immense unlight to be
Life flows across in aeons of human self-conceit
Call me the devil, call to arms darkest one
To be your voice in the dark
Call me your horror, call me to crave
when your heaven is torn apart
Untouched but seen by those yet unseen
Light flows across for aeons in spectral self-conceit
Call me the devil, call me the flame, call me when your heaven is torn apart
Oh blackest aeon - evaluated force
Holy mother, dreadful creature - be the reason for all cause
Sing for me rightful father - marrow of the soul
Sacred seal of iniquity open up, open up thy womb
Severed souls, take me to the netherworld
where sacred souls take you down inside
This blood guilt incurred by communion
casts down the flame of hate to one
Untouched by immense unlight to be
Life flows across in aeons of shallow hearted self-conceit
I see you burn in rousing fire
What came from the water must be drowned in the sea
Who is this amazing singer ?
Florian Magnus Maier
Look into everything hes ever done
You wont be sorry. ;)
V. Santura does some bits too and the two of thems mutual bands Dark fortress and Noneuclid released KICKASS albums last year :D
fuckin cool \m/
Great!
Hannes I missed out on your campaign because I hadn't heard about it. Is there anyway I can get the CD with your signature on it after the release?
Sure, no problem.
Johannes Großmann That would be really awesome. If I knew about it, I would've ordered it right away.
Großartiges Album - danke dafür. Besonders durch die vielen verschiedenen Gastgitarristen gibt es sehr viel zufriedenstellende Abwechslung. Eine Frage habe ich allerdings noch - Hast du das Solo in diesem Lied gespielt? Im Booklet steht darüber nichts näher...

Where can I buy this in the USA?
You can get it on bandcamp.com or on my website www.hannesgrossmann.com/shop. I ship worldwide for the same price.
Johannes Großmann Thanks man, loving the new music.
Who is on vocals?
Victor Bullok and Florian Magnus Maier both of Dark Fortress and Noneuclid :)
Zyborggian
Thanks! =)
\m% AeON Illuminate \m%
I love this music, It is very well played and produced, but somebody please explain to me: which is the difference between this and Obscura?
Check Hannes's response to death7p's comment if you haven't already (y)
I really like the song but I strongly feel that this should've been an Obscura song instead. The entire album kicks serious ass though.
10 months later we know why it wasn't, unfortunately. I bet he knew already.
He probably did. Great song though. Alkaloid sounds like a kickass project in the making.
+MrAntihumanism He definitely did. The whole reason why this album exists and wasn't Akroasis is BECAUSE he knew haha.
Such a shame because Akroasis so far isn't that good. Some really lacklustre tracks.
I agree it's not as good but still I love all 3 singles and when I get home to my apartment tonight I'm going to listen to my vinyl and finally hear what the fuss is about for people that like this album haha.

I liked t song but same as few people already mentioned I can't really see much difference between this piece and Obscura
I´m waiting for the postman....
Nifty bass
sorry man, I shared it on facebook before you :)
