and lo, the Exterminator. The Destroyer of Worlds, the Purifier of Galaxies.... I always find myself saying some of the spoken word parts of Bal Sagoths music as i'm just going about my day, theyre just so fucking epic
"And there fell a great star from the heavens, burning! Older than the sphinx or Babylon! O mighty one! Lord and master of the great abyss!" often comes out of my mouth while driving ...
I love the way he narrates: "Spare this insignificant planet...This...Earth" with so much contempt, like it was some sort of offense the existence of earth or something to be ashamed of saying and/or defending, even as an offense in itself
He’s not offended by it, he’s trying to make the planet not seem worth the attention of celestial beings. The Silver Surfer takes earth as his adoptive home but wouldn’t want to make it seem like a great place to beings capable of destroying it
This is in fact my favorite song of all time. I‘ve listened to it countless times since my youth and it just doesn‘t cease to amaze me. Melodies, arrangement, lyrics - all beyond words or to stay in the vibe of the song „unparalleled“. Moments like the play of the horns with the melody-switch of synth and guitar from 03:26 to 04:35, the „I am the protector of this world, I wield the power cosmic“ line or the raging guitars, drums and trumpets in the fulminant ending give me goosebumps and such an intense feeling of power and grandeur till this very day. This is metal in perfection.
These guys are real artists!! Hail Bal-Sagoth! As a therapy for my everyday's work, better than a cup of coffee, I play this song in the morning to wake up and feel the Power Cosmic!! :D Zeeeenn-llaaahhh!!!!
Awesome subject matter to explore in an awesome Heavy Metal song! Make mine MARVEL and BAL-SAGOTH!!! Listening to music like this just makes me hungrier for MORE! Hungry enough to devour entire WORLDS,just like GALACTUS himself!
Brilliant! I've always liked this song, but I didn't know it was about the Silver Surfer until I read the lyrics. Hail Marvel! Hail Bal-Sagoth! Hail ME for getting first comment!

now imagine doing this in the movie theater during "Oppenheimer". That's what I did, aloud
I love the way he narrates: "Spare this insignificant planet...This...Earth" with so much contempt, like it was some sort of offense the existence of earth or something to be ashamed of saying and/or defending, even as an offense in itself
Well...he's not wrong. Not one bit.
He’s not offended by it, he’s trying to make the planet not seem worth the attention of celestial beings. The Silver Surfer takes earth as his adoptive home but wouldn’t want to make it seem like a great place to beings capable of destroying it
Symphonic Black Metal about Marvel's Silver Surfer confronting the Celestials. Doesn't get more metal than that :D \m/
No words of praise will ever be enough. This was and is absolutely beautiful.⚡️💚⚡️

I dunno I feel like each time I revisit bal-sagoth I have a new favorite song. They have the best replay value of any band ever.
@@olehwolansky1952 Totallly agree, the replay value is insane. Every song is so full of ideas, it just never gets boring.
2021, global pandemic and I still love Bal-Sagoth.
"I am the protector of this world! I WIELD THE POWER COSMIC!"
"And lo the exterminator
the destroyer of worlds
the pure fire of galaxies"
I love this song. It's great.
It's The Power Cosmic.
I know I am a bit late, but it is actually the purifier of galaxies :)
One word: Cosmic.
The purest expression of heroism in the face of adversity. the silver surfer
This song is so over-the-top badassery and epic!

You guys are the greatest band on earth
This album is in my all-time top 100 for sure. Such an excellent blend of black, symphonic and power metal. It's just awesome.
Me too, I listen to Bal-Sagoth on repeat at work with my headphones all day.
hey, me, from 8 years ago
hey, me, from 8 months ago
@@diracleohey bro
Sup
@@maleexile9053 still here
I have just read the marvel essentials silver surfer comic while listening through the whole album. I don't recall the last time i felt so powerful.
Well, I wanted to get something done tonight, but this got in the way...so worth it.
3:38 = epic
Nutty.
B. A. Roberts, the guy who made this vid, is the singer btw.
''They who sow the fields of the stars...
They return to reap the evolution harvest.''
This is, indeed, the soundtrack for the Power Cosmic Marvel's stories. And it's a bloody fucking song, hell yeah!
Hail, Bal-Sagoth!
Thanos and Stones. They did this 19 years ago. We are watching them now.
Awesome subject matter to explore in an awesome Heavy Metal song! Make mine MARVEL and BAL-SAGOTH!!! Listening to music like this just makes me hungrier for MORE! Hungry enough to devour entire WORLDS,just like GALACTUS himself!
Excelente video. The song... it grows on you.
The french horn (at least I think it's a french horn) fits this song perfectly.
i love marvel's cosmic elements, and i love epic metal! combining the two is a stroke of genius!
That first blast beat fuck yeah
Awesome composition with strking images!
one of my fav bal sagoth songs next to naked steel and obsidian crown
Excelsior!
It's not hilarious, it's EXTREMELY epic!
This is a filthy banger
Brilliant! I've always liked this song, but I didn't know it was about the Silver Surfer until I read the lyrics. Hail Marvel! Hail Bal-Sagoth! Hail ME for getting first comment!
Love this song. So epic. Great band!
Their vocals are more chill than I expected. No disrespect.
"The edge of oblivion beckons." What I say on saturday after picking up a half gallon and a 10 pack of monsters.
DARN! I love it from 2:46 to 3:06
The whole song is epic but whoa :D
Dammit Bal-Sagoth, you are too awesome.
Zurra is an awesome character, loving the extended story in the TPC digipak edition. :)
Now that would be a battle to watch.
Gotta LOVE a band playing Epic Metal about the Silver Surfer using Mjolnir to fend off the Celestial Host in their judgment of the Earth!!!
Disney and Spielberg need to use Bal Sagoth music
Indeed. :v
No.
NEIN
cool
love this video
EXITAR! EXITAR!
@Zaothus i love that part!
Someone sent me this and i dont know why

Mighty Galactus ... do but spare Zenn-La ... and I am yours.. to command!
Two of my favourite things Sagoth and The Surfer!
I agree in 100%!
Agree totally!
(But it's "the PURIFIER of galaxies".
Hail Bal Sagoth!
@anselm98 Into bal sagoth at age 10?? Damn, I wish I got into extreme metal earlier :/
Because Marvel is fucking metal.

@Zaothus
Insanely epic moment.
there is no favourite album, there is a favourite hexalogy, favourite, eternal
This song just makes me want to read marvel comics for some reason, I wonder why????
It's the Silver Surfer's home planet.
I hate living in Australia it's so hard getting bal sagoth albums.
Oh, please. Zenn La is home planet of Norrin Radd, which is best known by Silver Surfer.
see them soon
@XQuantumFailureX you here high when you wrote that werent you
4:30 for the best moment on the album
I just wish that RUclips wouldn't rape the sound quality :
2:49, hey, the infinity gauntlet.
only because they vastly outnumber him
how do I live with myself.
Mistake. :)
Thanks for correct me.
uy7d, you have no metal in your heart.
marvel is fucking metal!!!!!!!!
@anselm98
