What’s crazy is these tracks are all based off real dream experiences that the artist (Naas Alcameth) had. Check out the bardo methodology interview he did a little while back. He’s also the frontman for Nightbringer, Bestia Arcana, and Aoratos.
This album is a real masterpiece! One of the most terrifying metal albums I've ever heard. So terrifying I had to buy the shirt and the physical album \,,/
Man you are the only channel on RUclips who gets the metal reactions right Underground black metal with lyrics dissection You are the best please continue what you are doing man 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm aware this comment is 3 years old, but Akhlys is not the goddess of dreams and nightmares, that would be Melinoe. Akhlys considered being a goddess / personification of misery who handles all deadly poisons. The daughter of Chaos and Nyx, who was told being old even before time.
Akhlys is related to at least 2 other occultist USBM projects: Bestia Arcana and Nightbringer. The latter is the oldest of the 3. Musically, I prefer their very first album: Death and the Black Work. All the ideas present here were there as well, plus tune was better.
Lyrics: From the strangled breath Of my bodies' corpse-like repose I was reborn on wings of death And from that gasp arose To alight on winds Tartarean Across the gulfs of Erebos In flight declined Hesperian To the throne of Icelos As Noctua I flew to seek As dread and sacral bird To pluck the eye with beak And steal the sacral word The true-sworn name of Daemon The Secret hidden within the lie Unknown by priest of layman And learned that name was I As naught is the aspect of the one Who comes before me Naught is the name of the one Who resides within me Adorn me with twain minded mask Of Janus Oh, gatekeeper Ceremented in paradox Sable on shadow I see you! Radian in waves of darkness Black static scintillations Cascading abyss Drown me in madness Furoris divinales Raise me from my flesh As you awaken the son of Pan Within me Sardonic Mask of Night Beneath which is no-thing Nous of the Void Form-changer Shade shifter Syrinx piper of death's silence Ceremented in paradox Shadow of midnight
I would like to see Christians React to Bestia Arcana (Hellmouth or Iniquity). That is Naas' more biblical & apocalyptic project. New Akhlys album coming out this summer.
You need to do more Ulcerate! And actually, you should do Departe. They're an Australian post-black metal band whose frontman is a Christian. Very similar to this.
Nightbringer is another naas alcameth(akhlys frontman) project, there’s a song you should check out, lyrically is complex and musically is really atmospheric and intense, the name of the song is “ et nox illuminatio mea in deliciis meis”
There was one point in my life where Layil would visit me every night and even during the day. It freaked me out to the point where I wouldn't sleep for days because I knew what was coming for me. The worst experience was a three hour sleep paralysis session during the day. A incubus that was made out of black mist walks up to me speaking in demonic tongues, the only thing I could understand was when he said "Im going to hurt you" and he proceeded to violate me, Ill spare the details. Hypnagogia and Hypnopompia were also common occurrences which usually were in the form of poltergeists. I have countless stories of meeting The Night Hag during sleep paralysis. It still happens but not nearly as frequently, once I learnt her name and started investing into to the occult because of these experiences, she stopped visiting me every night.
Among better bands of this atmo/avant-garde brutal black/death style. Schammasch, Ulcerate, Imperial Triumphant etc. They should do Kriegsmaschine - The Other Death
Vin, were you some sort of special forces? Very interesting stories you tell about those (what I'm assuming are) military situations. Really good review.
This is a side project of Nightbringer, a band which I find even more intruiguing. This piece ruclips.net/video/7XutnKHalic/видео.html would be great for a reaction video as well.
I’m a Christian and I’ll admit that Akhlys is one of my guilty pleasures. What can I say, I like black metal, and it just doesn’t get better than this. I won’t listen to absolutely anything though. I do draw a line at overly and extremely blasphemous lyrics.
Sick! Ive had sleep paralysis and still do sometimes, its when you oversleep or something like that so youre both awake and asleep, since you can't move, so sometimes its good, if the dream is good and its a lucid dream you want to venture into, but if it gets scary, especially if youre sleeping in an uncomfortable position, all you have to do is calm down, breathe and then give your body a jerk and clench your fists. If you dont wake up, chill out again, breathe for a few seconds and then and try again. Sometimes it takes 2 or more tries.
Darn I saw FEAR written all over that I thought you were reacting to John Belushi’s favorite band FEAR who John got to play on SNL and were promptly banned from ever playing SNL ever again

love this album !!
Aoratos is incredible, like everything else he does.
I take he didn't dream of sunshine and meadows.
You have a link?
This album is a real masterpiece! One of the most terrifying metal albums I've ever heard. So terrifying I had to buy the shirt and the physical album \,,/
Akhlys is something special. Something different. Creepy and scary but at the same time amazing and art in it's smallest detail.
This band NEEDS more attention. I've never heard black metal that hits like this.
No they dont....ppl who never heard them can stick to Dimmu Borgir
Loved their 2015 album The Dreaming I. Really glad to see them getting a reaction. One of my favorite examples of ritualistic black metal.
The deaming I
This was one of the most intense brutal horror trips i had in the last months...years.. thank you so much for sharing!!!
It masterfully conveys the feeling of a nightmare.
Man you are the only channel on RUclips who gets the metal reactions right
Underground black metal with lyrics dissection
You are the best please continue what you are doing man 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Akhlys is the Greek goddess of dreams and nightmares.
Brought to life by an American
@@davidblair3845 I don't think that really matters, though?
I'm aware this comment is 3 years old, but Akhlys is not the goddess of dreams and nightmares, that would be Melinoe. Akhlys considered being a goddess / personification of misery who handles all deadly poisons. The daughter of Chaos and Nyx, who was told being old even before time.
One of the finest releases in all of 2020.

All 3 are great
You missed Aoratos. Same dude and honestly my favorite of his works. Just got it on cd recently and it is mind blowing.
Lyrics:
From the strangled breath
Of my bodies' corpse-like repose
I was reborn on wings of death
And from that gasp arose
To alight on winds Tartarean
Across the gulfs of Erebos
In flight declined Hesperian
To the throne of Icelos
As Noctua I flew to seek
As dread and sacral bird
To pluck the eye with beak
And steal the sacral word
The true-sworn name of Daemon
The Secret hidden within the lie
Unknown by priest of layman
And learned that name was I
As naught is the aspect of the one
Who comes before me
Naught is the name of the one
Who resides within me
Adorn me with twain minded mask
Of Janus
Oh, gatekeeper
Ceremented in paradox
Sable on shadow
I see you!
Radian in waves of darkness
Black static scintillations
Cascading abyss
Drown me in madness
Furoris divinales
Raise me from my flesh
As you awaken the son of Pan
Within me
Sardonic Mask of Night
Beneath which is no-thing
Nous of the Void
Form-changer
Shade shifter
Syrinx piper of death's silence
Ceremented in paradox
Shadow of midnight
My favourite album from last year.
I would like to see Christians React to Bestia Arcana (Hellmouth or Iniquity). That is Naas' more biblical & apocalyptic project.
New Akhlys album coming out this summer.
Iniquity is freaking awesome
You guys should check out Lurker of Chalice - Piercing Where They Might
Wrest is an amazing artist
I’ve been pushing to get anything of that album reacted to for at least a year now
You need to do more Ulcerate! And actually, you should do Departe. They're an Australian post-black metal band whose frontman is a Christian. Very similar to this.
Sounds like the endboss theme of those arcade games Back in the 80's . Dont get me wrong, its the best black metal Album beside gaerea's limbo.
Vin was really digging this one haha
Yes, this album is some top tier stuff
The best black metal band on the scene right now & it is not even close.
Nightbringer is another naas alcameth(akhlys frontman) project, there’s a song you should check out, lyrically is complex and musically is really atmospheric and intense, the name of the song is “ et nox illuminatio mea in deliciis meis”
Have you checked out his other two projects... Bestia Arcana and Aoratos? Necessary listening!
@@nintenjoel of course, big fan of aoratos🤙🏻

I'd add Ad Nauseam
Naas Alcameth is Usbm's pride and joy!
Eagerly waiting for a new Nightbringer album! 😀🤘🤘
I practically enjoyed this song🎸🎵🔥. Great reaction.
This song is a symphony. Amazing musical composition.
Ephialtes would have been better
Sori's story was creepy as hell. Sleep paralysis is pretty hard core and damn terrifying.
"ceremented" should have meant coming from "ceremonia".. of a prelude neverending
I'm in a weird space when I listen to this. Horror black metal. The main riff at the end makes the song for me. But the atmosphere, maaaaaan.
*Breath and Levetation* is their best track.
This band is true fucking black metal.
Vin, were you some sort of special forces? Very interesting stories you tell about those (what I'm assuming are) military situations. Really good review.
😅😅 special forces...Vin
This is a side project of Nightbringer, a band which I find even more intruiguing. This piece ruclips.net/video/7XutnKHalic/видео.html would be great for a reaction video as well.

i like this song new band for me vin and sori are the best 🖤🖤🖤
Sori's story is like the perfect movie to this soundtrack.
AHH-KLEE-IS
Akhlys - The Mist
Kreator - Enemy of god
Naas Alcameth is a genius. Period. Great album.
Sick!

Opeth - Godhead's Lament
Debemur Morti is a legit label for quality black metal
Darn I saw FEAR written all over that I thought you were reacting to John Belushi’s favorite band FEAR who John got to play on SNL and were promptly banned from ever playing SNL ever again
Drumming is insane.
True. Eoghan(Evan Knight) playing drums.
Just react to their entire catalog
Ploho - Горький опыт (video ENG\ESP sub) From Russia with love ^_^
React to Inquisition "Luciferian Rays" please.
I like rock & even this has me in WTF
It's pronounced ahk-lees.
May we please get a reaction to the song vvorld vvithout end by Katharsis, lyrics and all? Thank you most kindly and so on and so forth
🤘🤘🐐🐐🐐😈😈
React to Angra - Carolina IV
So Vin.....you assume you can put on white corpse face paint without triggering white face painted corpses hey?
Is it just me, or is the music overmodulating badly? I can't make out the riffs or follow anything. ☹️
United States for the win!
How have you not covered Wolf Moon by Type O yet?!?
😂😂😂
Anything from leviathan. Do it.
MJK just released a Easter Story on his puscifer RUclips channel, you should check it out
React mayhem carnage please
noise
From the strangled breath
Of my bodies' corpse-like repose
I was reborn on wings of Death
And from that gasp arose

Adorn me with twain minded mask
Of Janus
Oh, Gatekeeper

Man, those lyrics seem like they could have been written by a poet a few hundred years ago, and would be celebrated now as great literature.
