Tracklist: 00:00 Unbodied 03:02 Nature of the Paradox 06:46 Shadows 10:55 Ascention 15:53 Conquerors 20:18 Superior 24:23 Golden Pendant 27:49 Ethereal 31:53 Faces behind the Stars 36:42 Destiny Crucified What's the song of your choice?
Shadows is easily the greatest song you guys have written IMO. My previous favorite was Creatures from the Mud, but I think this one tops it. The lead guitar in it is incredible! Conquerors and Superior are also awesome, definitely my next favorite tracks after Shadows.
Just a heads up though in the video, at 16:15 the track changes from Conquerors to Nature of the Paradox for the rest of the song. Although probably too late to fix that!
Those vocals on this album are brilliant, and I truly feel all the efforts from the singer. He put a lot into this, and I think I couldn't be more thankful! Thanks guys, for bringing this to the world. I'm already in love!
Not sure why so many people have an issue with the vocals. I think they sound better with each album. Exodus was amazing and I think this is a great follow up. I’m glad that they added more variety to the sound on this one with soft and beautiful parts alternating with aggressive fast parts. I also like all of the piano/keyboard, I think it goes great with their sound. Excellent job as always!
I agree completely! I felt like Supreme Truth was just a lot of monotonous growling and chugging but this album has so much more exciting stuff going on.
I think Mikee from Sikth has one of the most unique voices in metal, so I always felt that he doesn't quite sound like anybody else to me. But I think I see where you are coming from in a general sense. I think Andrew fits the sound of Shokran perfectly and for me this album balances the cleans/screams/growls really well.
I also find that vocalists in this genre tend to be unnecessarily criticized. Everyone is also trying to get their hands on instrumental versions of everything and I have no idea why. When you take out the vocalist in music like this, it's like listening to a metal band without the guitars or drums and it just sounds strange. I mean, there are some instrumental metal bands I listen to, but I generally get bored of their material a little faster, most likely for that reason.
Gentlemen! Excellent addition to Shokran's discography. I love the progressive elements through out this album. The tone of those guitars and bass are phenomenal. The drums have some of the coolest fills, and syncopation through the beats. Also those solos on Shadows was epic! The screams are so menacing and I love them, and the cleans and harmonies put together are straight up magical. The album is just overall tightly put together, and I have been jamming this since it came out.
And yrs later this album still slaps....everything about it is true art....hopefully you all are well in this forsaken time and i hope dmitry has recovered from his surgeries ive heard about....patiently awaiting a new masterpiece in the near future i hope
I want Instrumental version of this album too. This band is about their cool music for me, not the lyrics. Lyrics makes it similar to the average MDM band like Trivium shit or something...
Instrumental version already exists - I bough physical version of Ethereal on their tour and it consists of 2 cd's, 2nd is instrumental version. They just have not uploaded it yet.
I don't know if someone noticed that on 16:15 "Conquerors" Title changes to "Nature of Paradox" .. haha Anyway i really love this album.. Thanks Shokran!
That bass player worked some serious magic on this album! I love how much it pops from the rest of the instruments, especially on Conquerers and Faces Behind the Stars. So many bass players in metal just follow the guitar line and just kinda blend in.
Esto es simplemente una Muy brillante Obra Maestra de la Música metal, donde aprovechan cada segundo para que se escuche totalmente limpio exclusivo y sobretodo brutalmente excepciónal , woow está banda sigue ascendiendo y así deberían ser todas aquellas bandas que usen guitarras de más de 7 cuerdas y voces limpias
Might seem like a strange comment but the last band I really, really got into was Mastodon which was a long time ago now! This is the first time i've come across modern metal a band I can get into! Seems to have a nod to the past like Dream Theatre etc and also modern metal and doing something new......10/10. Ill get every album!
It's been a while since I last listened to this band. Today I search for them and they just released this! Thank you so much guys! Hoping to see them live.
Love it all, screams insane, but cleans in this album are my favorite, and yes I do agree on wanting more egyptian themed riffs and sounds, but overall quality of production and mix and everything on this specific album was the best of all so far, guys you're on the right track, you're doing it right--just throw in more egyptian themes and instruments from the first album in mix with what you're doing now and you'll be sitting on top of metal scene in no time....keep it up \m/ ...btw, golden pendant is my favorite.
Can't wait to see you guys in Dublin if you come here! Solid album even if I still prefer Exodus but who knows, maybe it'll grow on me! As long as you play some Exodus during the tour :) Thanks all for your work and passion
Went on a listening binge of Sam Smith's Unholy cause I heard the amazing phrygian chants, was so disappointed they didn't push further with the phrasing, melding more of the clubbing music elements instead of a more Middle-eastern or Egyptian vibe with the song Came right back to here to get my dose of the funky sand phrasing, love this band's style so much
You can listen the three albums and find something different in each one, keeping a strand of something that feels the same the other albums. Like if were different ambients or dimensions... Really great work. The passing between distortioned voice and riffs, and soft sweet melodies makes every song a thousand times listenable without losing the first impression. I Love your music guys!
I felt this way too - I really loved that Egyptian theme in Supreme truth and Exodus. While I am definitely enjoying this stuff, I am missing it a little.
Tracklist:
00:00 Unbodied

What's the song of your choice?
golden pendant , specialy the solo part of dim was emotional
Naturen of the Paradox and Destiny Crucified ❤
Ascention and Destiny crucified
Shadows is easily the greatest song you guys have written IMO. My previous favorite was Creatures from the Mud, but I think this one tops it. The lead guitar in it is incredible! Conquerors and Superior are also awesome, definitely my next favorite tracks after Shadows.
Just a heads up though in the video, at 16:15 the track changes from Conquerors to Nature of the Paradox for the rest of the song. Although probably too late to fix that!
Finally I can play Yu-Gi-Oh while listening to this.
Exodia-core hahah
That joke would only be funny if they actually kept their Egyptian sound
That sound you get when you drop that Magical Scientist, Catapult Turtle,
This 10:55
I feel playing my little pony and then switch to knack 2

I agree with you, i'm digging the vocals so much, I find that he can express himself completely on this album
I agree completely! I felt like Supreme Truth was just a lot of monotonous growling and chugging but this album has so much more exciting stuff going on.
Do the vocals remind you of Sikth at all? I don't get why people don't like them. Lots of range on this album!!
I think Mikee from Sikth has one of the most unique voices in metal, so I always felt that he doesn't quite sound like anybody else to me. But I think I see where you are coming from in a general sense. I think Andrew fits the sound of Shokran perfectly and for me this album balances the cleans/screams/growls really well.

Persian : This is madness.
Leonidas : This.....is......SHOKRAN!

Oh my God, this is so beautifull that make me crying almost in half of this cd. Congratulations SHOKRAN. COME TO BRAZIL!!!!!
Up!
Ganhei meu dia ouvindo essa obra prima!
Conheceu os caras de forma aleatória, irmão? Vi nos comentários do vídeo do canal do Barba.
Que banda sensacional, que disco potente!
@@ragnamaniac6966 totalmente aleatória.
@@isaquecasanovasoares7384 Cara, minha vida está mudando com esse disco... que isso. Quero fazer cover das 5 primeiras músicas.
Oh my god - Conquerors - that transition at 16:56 - damn near broke my neck nodding that hard.
Took me 4 complete listen throughs to truly appreciate the flow of the entire album, loving it just the same as their previous albums!
Nature of paradox and Golden pedant.......... soooooo beautiful!

The real question remains, will we get an instrumental?
We will ! I trust them !
I want Instrumental version of this album too. This band is about their cool music for me, not the lyrics. Lyrics makes it similar to the average MDM band like Trivium shit or something...
@@vodkins75 Trivium is average band? omg. go fuck yourself :)
Instrumental version already exists - I bough physical version of Ethereal on their tour and it consists of 2 cd's, 2nd is instrumental version. They just have not uploaded it yet.
@@harfcore I'd go to one of their shows just to buy a copy but they have no tours in the US :(
17:31 is giving me high chills exactly like living arrows chorus holy shit this is amazing
Дима однозначно превзошел свои прошлые работы. Это гениально. Спасибо за альбом.
Very underrated band. Love each of their albums.
OMG @ 23:09 (Superior) Amazing work there!
Ascension is my favorite song! Love ya Shokran!!!!
I don't know if someone noticed that on 16:15 "Conquerors" Title changes to "Nature of Paradox" .. haha Anyway i really love this album.. Thanks Shokran!
Очаквам следващия ви албум.Успех
15:13 strong BFMV vibes, not in a rip off way, it just reminds me of Hearts Burst Into Fire
I have not been able to stop listening to this on loop for a week. Really grew on me
shokran so much !
golden pendant is simply divine!
The fact you used Deja Vu as the backing for an actual song is mind-blowing.
So glad to hear a new album. You guys Rock!!!! from Montana, USA
Давно не слушал прогрессив, звучит замечательно. Приезжайте в Екб!
THIS BAND OWN MY RESPECT!!! KEEP MAKING BEST QUALITY OF MUSICS.
That song Ethereal gives me Deja Vu 😄
ruclips.net/video/aOAWmCrcdzk/видео.html hahaha!
Thanks shokran
Awww yis! I was just learning some Russian folk music when this showed up. Today is a good day
Great work. Loved the songs.
They sounded a sort of Symphony X D.jent. Cool!
Потрясающий альбом, слушал стрим с огромным удовольствием!
Это просто современная прогрессивная тяжёлая классическая музыка, не иначе.
лол. вот так встреча)
@evltime
Не удивлюсь, если и Вакай мимо проходил. ))
That bass player worked some serious magic on this album! I love how much it pops from the rest of the instruments, especially on Conquerers and Faces Behind the Stars. So many bass players in metal just follow the guitar line and just kinda blend in.
After a couple of listen-throughs, I have to say I prefer the older albums. Bought this one too, but still :)
Just discovered this band through watching the guitarist play through videos. Incredible sound boys! Made me an instant fan.
Мелодические линии простого вокала приятные. Хороший вокалист. Да и группа зачётная.
Wow, just wow and for the people who complain about the vocals, they did this not only for you but for themselves and thats what matters the most🤘🤘🤘
Holy fucking fuck! This has to be my new favourite from Shokran!
So smooth and well composed as executed, and I love this vocals!
Love the vocals, this is your first album to really click with me. So good! Give us some vinyl please.

Anubis bless these guys! Rush B!
I like it !!!!
Wtf this bass line in the song "Destiny Crucified", so epic !
NICE Shokran!!!
My favorite shokran album so far!
This is golden. It honestly reminds me a bit of Dmitry's solo stuff, which is not a bad thing by any means.
Aaaand then I got to the title track....
Heh, Deja Vu.
YES!!
Yes!!!
Total Masterpiece , great vocals
Shokran one love! \m/
Great as ever 😈🙌🤟 Hope to see u soon in Italy maybe in Naples🤩
Love you guys !! Thank your for all the dreams you offer me ;)
Loved it from from the very start. Thanks Shokran! You guys honestly rock.
Can't wait for an instrumental
Dayum the wait!
This album is so fucking good. Phenomenal. Thank you so much to the band for writing this.
Очень круто!! Nature of the Paradox вообще теперь из головы не вылазит.
So its reborn of Shokran. Isnt second Exodus or Supreme truth but absolutely masterpiece. Thanx guys
Love it all, screams insane, but cleans in this album are my favorite, and yes I do agree on wanting more egyptian themed riffs and sounds, but overall quality of production and mix and everything on this specific album was the best of all so far, guys you're on the right track, you're doing it right--just throw in more egyptian themes and instruments from the first album in mix with what you're doing now and you'll be sitting on top of metal scene in no time....keep it up \m/ ...btw, golden pendant is my favorite.
Tremendo!!!! Puro fuego!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Best born of osiris album
Can't wait to see you guys in Dublin if you come here!
Solid album even if I still prefer Exodus but who knows, maybe it'll grow on me!
As long as you play some Exodus during the tour :)
Thanks all for your work and passion
YESS! MY BOIS ARE BACK!!!
This is such a great album! The Exodus album was cool, but I love how the the hard and soft elements came together in this one! Just awesome!
Woah this caught me off guard, this is amazing. Wasn’t expecting a new album but hey it’s really really good.
Best work yet, keep the Egyptian melodies and instruments and you'll continue to stand out above the competition 💪
Божественно

I Love your music guys!
Nice album. But I think Shokran kept the egyptian theme a bit aside this time around. Exodus screamed egyptian metal.
Just my 2 cents anyways.
I felt this way too - I really loved that Egyptian theme in Supreme truth and Exodus. While I am definitely enjoying this stuff, I am missing it a little.
True...not a lot of lows too
@@SuperibyP Here the same. Love both !
Aw dont worry. This was still awesome!
Exodus was an album based on the ten plagues of Egypt..that is why the Egyptian music called oriental progressive was used
