The only prog band to make it in the early 80’s was Marrillion, IQ didn’t have the singles, but they were a close 2nd ! And their still with the original singer after one split and still proging away, says a lot, Marillion lost their sound when fish was sacked! IQ and Pendragon still good.
Steven Wilson, Anglagard, Big Big Train, Echolyn, Haken, Ayeron,... now IQ. In these last couple of years something we've been spoiled with some fuckin' great music! Are we witnessing the revival of prog?
Prog never went away. Its light may have shone less brightly for a while due to monopolistic music corps but now that artists have the power in their own hands to let their audience find them, people who strayed are finding them once again and wondering why they left.
No revival for there was no death. In fact, most of the bands you've mentioned are already 25 years old on average. IQ will soon turn 35. That just means how much media attention had been artificially turned away from progressive rock.
This is a simply stunning track......I can imagine it playing along with the closing credits of those grim Scandinavian serial killer dramas. I saw it played live in a small venue from the front row. Peter Nichols looked me straight in the eye and pointed with a white surgical glove on his hand.....”The dumb shock of reaction’s what it’s for........” It was absolutely chilling!!!!
I know it's 8 years late, but I really hope you went into that wild ride that is finding a new band. I know I loved finding these guys probably 15 or so years ago
Wow, so cool to see fans for the early days still listening. I started listening to them 10 years ago I think, and I just love this band. There is something about their music and sound that captivates me.
This album is a masterpiece, the title song is a lesson in modern progressive rock. The lyrics, the restraint, ... and then they turn it on ... first hit on a crash cymbal at 5:55! This song has no weakness.
An absolutely fantastic song and album by one of the best prog bands around - great 'haunting' music - guitar riffs, keyboard's, bass and, last but not least, some intricate drum fills, just awe inspiring.
Absolutely, ridiculously beautiful! Such deep, powerful and provocative music. What a transition 6:00min in. Incredible. Can't wait for the album. So happy.
This is one of the top prog albums ever, everything a prog fan could ask for. I just recently found IQ, sorry I was so late to the party. What an awesome band, I now have all of Peter Nichols albums,(paid for!) on my PC. Wonderful stuff!
Now in my top 5 rock albums of all time. Epic lyrics melded perfectly with the instrumentals, every song an absolute gem, fantastic musicianship that is there only to serve the songs, incredible composition. How they're not a household name is beyond me. Perfection!
@@rodsagredo Genesis - Foxtrot, Yes - Close to the Edge, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, King Crimson - Discipline (although Dark Matter by IQ might be in there too)
Been a long time fan of IQ. Even when they tried towards a more commercial sound in the later 80's, there were songs that would nail the mind. This album sits nicely with their other dark album 'Dark Matter'. Fantastic Band. Glad they're still around! 👍
2020 and I just started getting into this band. SMH 🤦♂️ How did I miss these guys!? Well, my journey begins now. I am loving RoB and Resistance right now!
I've been following IQ now since 1983 and they never cease to amaze. If this track is anything to go by, we are in for a real treat when the album comes out!
Terrific progressive rock band. I have listened all of their albums since the beginning and each that passes by IQ gets better an better. IQ lives for ever.
If you buy this album, be sure to get the box set/limited edition, because the bonus disc is as good as the main album, with tracks like Constellations, Ten Million Demons and Fall and Rise, which are amongst the best things they've ever done.
Fuck! I rode my Aprilia Pegaso motorcycle on the Road of Bones in Siberia for two times. 2010 summer and 2012 winter. The Winter one was a world record at minus 35 Celsius. But just today I heard about this song and about this band. So, I'm in!
And morning finds my night's work Lights the remnants on display I do not seek forgiveness, nothing to absolve For now the need is met, I almost hate myself Almost but not quite They survey the frozen scene, the cold countenance of hell And they hang their heavy heads, I'm seen as death itself Fear that holds this fragile town extends for miles around I've taken all control for I am someone now The shadow cross my face, all the signs of my mistakes Shallow graves I mark with stones as I walk the road of bones We dance our unkind, compelling dance, the arcane ritual observed I will see this whole thing through if I just keep my nerve All the journeys I've retraced to return me to this place I do not walk alone as I build the road of bones Their dumb shock of reaction's what it's for Full of nothing and I won't be ignored They got sirens and all that nervous force They concede a good death's it's own reward The shadow cross my face, all the Futures laid to waste Shallow graves I mark with stones as I walk the road of bones
Amazing song by IQ. IQ is the best kept secret in music for the past few decades. So happy they still are writing new music, like Asia Strings said come to California, please.
A great song and love the visuals here too, also love the atmosphere of this track and the way it builds throughout, will have to check out the other tracks from this album :-)
This is brilliant. It should be the opening track to a James Bond movie. Or if the words were changed slightly it would fit in perfectly in Game of Thrones.

Such a masterpiece of a song, this whole album is one of my all time favorites, Without Walls transcends.
I must be dreaming... It's time the whole world knows IQ.
Yes they are an Amazing and hugely talented Band. Equal to YES, Genesis, and Marillion. The World don't know what they are missing!

Interesting. I love this song. Been listening to this one song for years. Time to explore.
Have you listened to Mystery? Fantastic Canadian Prog band.

we always got hope for more REAL MUSICIANS
You forgot Devin Townsend :)
as this guy said: prog never went away. only the listeners.
No words to describe this. Just listen and let your mind drift away.
This is a simply stunning track......I can imagine it playing along with the closing credits of those grim Scandinavian serial killer dramas.

Exactly how I like my IQ - dark an heavy
I've never heard of them until now. They've just gained another fan of their Music.
Same ....and same!❤
I know it's 8 years late, but I really hope you went into that wild ride that is finding a new band. I know I loved finding these guys probably 15 or so years ago
Great.....I am 60 years old now. I was 23 when I bought there first album.
Dan heeft u vast een mooie muziek verzameling!
Wow, so cool to see fans for the early days still listening. I started listening to them 10 years ago I think, and I just love this band. There is something about their music and sound that captivates me.
Ditto
Jan you Did INDEED an Excelent buy
im 61 and just found this band , awesome .
For me the best album from the band. Dark and heavy yet very melodic.
This album is a masterpiece, the title song is a lesson in modern progressive rock.

That makes me think about Arena, but in better!
This is one of the top prog albums ever, everything a prog fan could ask for. I just recently found IQ, sorry I was so late to the party. What an awesome band, I now have all of Peter Nichols albums,(paid for!) on my PC. Wonderful stuff!
One of the very best albums I've ever heard from all times. Wish to hear you asap in France ! I love this band.
Now in my top 5 rock albums of all time. Epic lyrics melded perfectly with the instrumentals, every song an absolute gem, fantastic musicianship that is there only to serve the songs, incredible composition. How they're not a household name is beyond me. Perfection!
Which are the other four?
@@rodsagredo Genesis - Foxtrot, Yes - Close to the Edge, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, King Crimson - Discipline (although Dark Matter by IQ might be in there too)
@@VeganChefRon I would agree with Dark Matter, however for me Frequency is even better than Road of Bones!
It starts to become which is a better genius. It's beautiful that we get to enjoy them all! @@huwadams9521
Have you ever been to Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland? Very nice venue but the food is awful!! 😂
Been a long time fan of IQ. Even when they tried towards a more commercial sound in the later 80's, there were songs that would nail the mind. This album sits nicely with their other dark album 'Dark Matter'.
Fantastic Band. Glad they're still around! 👍
witeskyn7, same here, i followed them to the Marquee in early 80’s and refocused on them when Nichols rejoined in early 90’s.
2020 and I just started getting into this band. SMH 🤦♂️ How did I miss these guys!? Well, my journey begins now.
I am loving RoB and Resistance right now!
The Wake, Subterranea, Dark Matter
The holy trinity of IQ. Masterpieces.
Volveré 10 años después y volveré a escuchar esto.
Escrito en el pasado
The entire album is beautiful! If you love prog, you're going to love this. The best IQ album so far!
this masterpiece must be on vinyl!
5 years of waiting. Sounds like it'll be worth it. Good track. Can't wait to get my copy come May!
I've been following IQ now since 1983 and they never cease to amaze. If this track is anything to go by, we are in for a real treat when the album comes out!
This is pure IQ, I love it :)
From "Dans le parc du chateau noir" I have never been disappointed! .... Great progressive group! Great IQ! Long life to the IQ !!!....
Greatest band EVER!!!
Amazing... what an atmosphere... so dark, so empty... incredible song.
Breathtaking, opens a wide promise for the new album!
Terrific progressive rock band. I have listened all of their albums since the beginning and each that passes by IQ gets better an better. IQ lives for ever.
seen them twice now. Awesome my fav band

I was directed to this in relation to my elemental spirits books, very interesting imagery and love the singer's voice!
6:24 one of the most creative transitions that i ever heard

I can't believe this doesn't have 10M views!
Subtle, yet so powerful. Brilliant!!
I know IQ music since 2003; a fantastic prog band!!
Great music gif me peace.
Fuck! I rode my Aprilia Pegaso motorcycle on the Road of Bones in Siberia for two times. 2010 summer and 2012 winter. The Winter one was a world record at minus 35 Celsius.
But just today I heard about this song and about this band.
So, I'm in!
just found out about that band and wow ...
lol they already play for 36 years......wel better late then never...
I.Q at their very best. Could be the soundtrack to a film in the same vein this could. Can't wait for the new album September 2019. Keep rocking guys
May 31, 2019 and still listening this beautiful song, it takes me to a special place in my mind.
And morning finds my night's work
Lights the remnants on display
I do not seek forgiveness, nothing to absolve
For now the need is met, I almost hate myself
Almost but not quite
They survey the frozen scene, the cold countenance of hell
And they hang their heavy heads, I'm seen as death itself
Fear that holds this fragile town extends for miles around
I've taken all control for I am someone now
The shadow cross my face, all the signs of my mistakes
Shallow graves I mark with stones as I walk the road of bones
We dance our unkind, compelling dance, the arcane ritual observed
I will see this whole thing through if I just keep my nerve
All the journeys I've retraced to return me to this place
I do not walk alone as I build the road of bones
Their dumb shock of reaction's what it's for
Full of nothing and I won't be ignored
They got sirens and all that nervous force
They concede a good death's it's own reward
The shadow cross my face, all the Futures laid to waste
Shallow graves I mark with stones as I walk the road of bones
Saw IQ at ProgStock 2019 they were rather amazing
One of my top favorites. Amazing work.
Das hört sich super an, die Jungens hauen immer wieder einen raus!
I love this voice and the great sound

Pure awesomeness.
