Hey everyone, it's been awhile... I hope you're all doing okay! If you enjoy this song, make sure to check out the first two songs in the series! Goddess (feat. Nonon) → ruclips.net/video/TJrkufAAi5c/видео.html Gaia (feat. Nonon & Sithu Aye) → ruclips.net/video/SZvrKO763Mc/видео.html
The saga continues! I've had your songs on replay pretty much ever since I discovered you through "Goddess" and I'm really happy to see you continue your work!
Astrophysicist here, can confirm Mercury speaks the truth: Sol will become a red giant and expand to consume Gaia in ~7.5 billion years. The Gods of the Sky and the Underworld, Jupiter and Saturn, will reign supreme in new habitable zone (Saturn won't have beautiful rings anymore, sadly). Stay tuned for more cosmic horror!
At that point humans are either gone, a new intelligent race exist, we spread throughput the whole galaxy or become something like The Old Ones or Xel'Naga already.
@@DukeNNN I rather bet at We Transcended Theory, i mean it was like a Hundred Thousand Years into the Future. Chances are most of us gonna be an Old One but with Technology either way.
saturn's orbit will actually be too hot. so only objects beyond it will be habitable. luckily if humanity can keep it's current rate of advancement in just 1000years moving a planet will be no harder then moving an oil tanker.
In Roman mythology, Mercury (aka Hermes in Greek mythology) was the messenger of the Gods and the swiftest out of all of them. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has the shortest year, hence why she's a messenger in flames. Clever.
@@Freekymoho Actually Venus is hotter than mercury as Mercury has no atmosphere so no greenhouse effect but Mercury does expose the same side to the sun because its revolution around the sun and its rotation are synchronised. So one side of mercury is 300 °C and the other -200°C and Venus is 400°C
ah, here's the lyric analysis comment. my guess is that the song as a whole is just about how the sun will expand in around a billion years, putting "gaia" into the metaphorical "flames" and literal "scorching hellzone where the sun vaporizes the oceans"
also, "breathless yet she remains" is definitely an allusion to the lack of atmosphere. i am surprised there wasnt any mention of mercury's relativistic orbit, though that might just be the "empyreal ballet"
It’s kinda cool how the song is about how earth is eventually going to be consumed by the sun... and poor mercury has to be the one to deliver the message
That will happen in about a few billion years. And given how Gaia's children, us, are this advance. Give us just a few thousand years from now and don't think we would have any trouble with the sun going supernova. Hell human might not even be around anymore at that time.
“Peering at her scarred face” - Mecury’s surface has a decent number of craters “Breathless yet she remains” - Mercury doesn’t have much of an atmosphere “Calamitous embrace” refers to how the sun will eventually grow much larger, consuming several planets in our solar system before finally collapsing into a white dwarf.
Also "empyreal ballet" is referring to Mercury's orbit! Empyreal meaning heavenly or in relation to the heavens. Its a word derived from ancient cosmology
Considering that the figure is literally wearing the astrological symbol for Mercury, yeah, this is a safe bet. The philological breakdown is nice though. One other observation would be the use of the word "messenger" and the winged ornaments about her head, both of which allude to the Mercury of Roman mythology as the messenger of the gods.
I love the symbolism! Let's go: "scarred face" - Mercury has the biggest craters of the solar system planets "Caloris" / "Breathless yet she remains" - Mercury moves across the sky faster than any other planet. / "Facing the flames" and "Messenger in flames" - closest planet to the Sun / Conveying fate - Mercury will be the first planet to face Sun's ending/ The stars will witness your empyreal ballet - Mercury usually is just seen by western horizon after sunset or eastern horizon before sunrise, usually in twilight....So it's pretty difficult to see it compared to the likes of Venus. // Also it has references to Apocalypse: Revelation 16:8, KJV: "And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire." / When Cepheid says that Sol will consume, Goddess will fall, fires will scorch Gaia's heart, Luna's eclipse... celestial downfall -- it's a direct reference to Prophecies: "..the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place." Revelation 6: 12, 14. Revelation 8 -6,10: When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them(.....) Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- the name of the star is Wormwood. What leads me to the picture: angels are considered God's messengers ( Greek "angelos" means ‘'messenger’'), therefore feathers around the Girl not only represent the god Mercury from the Mythology, but also the fact that she's a pure (white clothing) being closest to higher powers and its sayings. The Sun image also resembles divine language, what reminds me of the prophecies in Daniel's book: "Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking. The king summoned the enchanters, astrologers[b] and diviners. Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” - Daniel 5-5,7" Nothing goes unnoticed from me Cepheid! Can't wait for other songs!(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
So we had songs for Gaia/Terra (Earth), Goddess (Venus/Aphrodite) and now we have the Messenger (Mercury/Hermes, in Flames relates to the position being closest to the sun) with mentions of Sol/Helios (Sun) and Luna/Selene (Moon), there is also the 4th empty Orbit being Mars, so I assume those are the candidates for the future
sol will probably be epic as fuck, luna will sound either like an war song, or maybe something on the piano side, and mars is basically the god of war, so that will be fucking interesting
Can I just say that I love the fact that in the pic she is holding mercury and earth in her hands (or at least hovering them around them), and then there's the mercury symbol on her crown(?) along with the fact that lots of her metal accents look like they're liquid like the metal mercury. Honestly I love the art in all of your videos, they fit the songs so well. 👏👏👏
Hot damn. The piano discordance threw me for an absolute loop, and then Un3h just flexing her vocal prowess, I think this is instantly my favourite of these three songs. Like, really, DAMN. Excellent work again, guys.
Could be wrong, but the song seems to be about Mercury telling Gaia and Venus about their fate being related to the Sun/Sol's death. When the sun starts dying, it means it has run out of Hydrogen from its core to burn off as fuel, so it will start burning off the Hydrogen in its shell instead, rapidly expanding with its luminosity also steadily increasing, this is called the red giant stage of the sun's death. I'll be explaining the relation between the Sun's death and the song: *➢"Light searing the sky":* ⎯When the sun starts expanding, it will "burn off" the Earth's atmosphere, AKA "light searing the sky". *➢"Menacing gaze peering at her scarred face":* ⎯"Scarred face" would be Earth's surface becoming oceans of lava with the atmosphere lost to space, therefore its "scarred". *➢"Breathless yet she remains":* ⎯"Breathless" could mean the loss of the atmosphere, due to it being burnt off by the Sun's death/expansion. *➢"Facing the flames, messenger conveying fate":* ⎯The messenger here is Mercury since in Roman mythology Mercury is the gods' messenger. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun therefore it is "facing the flames". *➢"Sol will consume, goddess will fall":* ⎯The Sun, in its red giant stage, will consume Mercury, Venus & Gaia/Earth, "goddess" might be Venus in this, she will fall as she's consumed by the Sun's flames. *➢"Fires will scorch Gaia's heart":* ⎯Gaia's heart would be the Earth's core I would assume. *➢"Luna's eclipse":* ⎯Googling the definition of "Eclipse" you'd get something that would be self-explanatory here: "an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination", AKA the Sun's flames will "eclipse" Luna/the moon. *➢"Will not forestall":* ⎯This just means that this is inevitable and cannot be stopped. *➢"Celestial downfall":* ⎯Self-explanatory, the 3 planets: Mercury, Venus and Earth will be in the Sun's flames, while the other planets will most likely not be engulfed. *➢" You cant flee from your fate":* ⎯Mercury/The messenger is telling Venus and Gaia that they cannot escape this destiny. *➢"Nothing will save you from calamitous embrace":* ⎯Nothing can be done to stop Venus and Earth from being swallowed by the Sun's raging flames. *➢"A destiny etched in stone, written and bound":* ⎯This is saying that their destiny is already determined, "Etched in stone" could also mean that it cannot be changed or altered. *➢"Dance your encore with grace":* ⎯Encore would be the repetition of the planetary orbit around the Sun, "Dance your encore" is just Earth's and Venus' Orbit around Sol. *➢"The stars will witness your empyreal ballet":* ⎯Empyreal Ballet is just fancy words for "Celestial Orbit". *➢"Erupt into violent rage, embers and ash remains":* ⎯Sol's eruption into rapid expansion and steady increase of luminosity that will engulf the 3 planets will leave nothing but embers and ash, in Earth's case it will actually leave oceans of lava and metal oxides but I digress. ⎯EDIT I: forgot to mention the artwork, the person in the image (I would assume to be Mercury), is "holding" the 3 planets (evident by the orbit lines around Sol/the Sun), the orange one would be Mercury, pink would be Venus and the blue one with a crescent orbiting it is, of course, Earth. The symbol on her crown (?) is Mercury's symbol ☿, Venus' symbol would of course be ♀, Earth's would be ⊕ and the Sun would be ⊙. Hope this covered it all! If I made a mistake or should've mentioned another point LMK.
Light searing the sky Menacing gaze peering at her scarred face Breathless yet she remains Facing the flames, messenger conveying fate Sol will consume Goddess will fall Fires will scorch Gaia's heart Luna's eclipse Will not forestall Celestial downfall You can't flee from your fate Nothing will save you from calamitous embrace A destiny etched in stone, written and bound Dance your encore with grace The stars will witness your empyreal ballet Erupt into violent rage, embers and ash remains You can't flee from your fate Nothing will save you from calamitous embrace A destiny etched in stone, written and bound You can't flee from your fate Nothing will save you from calamitous embrace A destiny etched in stone, written and bound Dance your encore with grace The stars will witness your empyreal ballet Erupt into violent rage, embers and ash remains
So most of the people are talking about the meaning of the song and stuff( which is fun) but I want to say that I get chills while listening to this, it's just that good
@@_wayward_494 Roman Mythology, Mercury is a Roman God, same with Venus. They're the Roman equivalents to the Greek ones of Aphrodite and Hermes (I think?). The Romans are like knock off Greeks with their pantheon.
@@shadowdroid776 to prevent confusion, Mercury is the Roman version of Hermes, and Venus is the Roman Aphrodite, and yes Romans stole a lot of myths and legends from the Greeks.

...Okay so it's been confirmed that I'm very much into space-themed rock/metal if my love for astronomy and STARSET is anything to go by. This is absolutely amazing and I love the metaphors and visual adaptations of what each planet showcases and the events that will befall the whole solar system once the Sun's time has come.
If these songs about Celestial Goddesses end up in an album, I'll buy all of then at once. Bonus points if the Album's called Sol (name of our Sun/Solar System).
Every time I hear the part “Celestial Downfall” I get shivers down my spine. It’s just such a good song. Though every song on this channel is an amazing song.
The first song you release since I discovered this channel last year, I'm sure it's going to be amazing! Plus, I found it because of Goddess, the first in the trilogy, hype!
@@redacted8983 in many stories humanity (and all animals by that) are considered Gaias sons and daughers since you know, she is the only planet in the whole solar system that managed to create life and see it prosper (Mars too created life but... Well... It didnt ended well) and humanity holds the potential (key word being potential) to become more powerful than any celestial body and even eventually any phenomena in the universe, the son surpassing the mother
@@carso1500 and by surpassing, you mean taming their father, Sol by building a dyson sphere. It sure is painful to see humanity leave Gaia for prolonging the existence of humanity as a species. Or see Gaia getting killed/punished by Sol through a camera with a built in tranciever as a parting gift from her sons and daughters.
@@redacted8983 well yeah, we can starlift the sun and delay it's end either by billions or trillions of years, or never let it happen at all, we do have that potential power after all and the science is sound, and we arent really that far away from being able to pull stunts like that
I just realized that the syncopation of the rithm that makes this song feel off might be referring how mercury's orbit shifts ever so slightly and used to be impossible to explain until Einstein came up with his theory of relativity
I'm afraid the explanation for the rhythm being off may not be so elaborate. This is one of the signature features of progressive metal. If you listen to some prog metal songs you'll know what I'm talking about
@@nocturne.nocturnal perhaps, but once the art is out in the world, it can have millions of meanings on top of the ones intended by the author, and they aren't any less valid for it
@@koarta7324 if by "milliions of meanings" you mean different interpretations of something, sure they can all be valid. But they may not necessarily be so from the author's perspective
Glad i caan flex, i know a musician that makes massterpieces who nobody knows Keep it up im already hyped PauseChamp Edit: HOLY SHIT, and When i noticed what the lyricss means i felt my brain get wrinkles 5Head
They just keep getting better and better. Really love how the theme of mercury is basically just going on with it's orbit in spite of its doom in the far future. Keep it up ! Amazing work!
YES! Another song to listen to on repeat until I physically can't listen to it anymore, and then find it six months later and love it all over again and listen to it on repeat until I can't listen to it anymore, and then...
You know how, the sun will expand when it reaches the red giant phase consuming mercury, venus and most likely the earth? Yeah, we need a song about that it will be metal AF. *The song about that comes out* Well this, somehow, is more metal then expected... I need more
i love your songs m8 and also how you try out new things in every song like in this one the non-fluid guitar and the guitar drop in 2:45 is timed very well i don´t know enough words how much i love your work pls keep it up it is more than music that u create it is art
Эта композиция заслуживает гораздо большего количества прослушиваний, потому что она является самой лучшей работой в этом плейлисте. Более грубый металл, атмосфера мрака. Определённо самая лучшая композиция.👍
Fantastic. In each one of these songs, the art is absolutely gorgeous. The artworks fit the songs wonderfully. The vocals bring life to the beautiful lyrics and fits perfectly with the song. It all works together, and it all is great.
The lyrics are very poetic, The art is Godly The music is Breathtaking The Singer's voice is Majestic I cannot believe that this marvel can be witnessed on a mortal made entertainment devices called Phone/Computer
This song so good, holding myself back from singing it at the top of my lungs actually makes my eyes tear up. Just sheer rage and i can't fucking sing it as hard as i want. Absolute masterpiece just like the other two of the series. This style you've created is straight up a Masterclass
I got tears in my eyes and goosebumps all over - absolutely stunning stuff yet again! This series is so good I sure hope there will be more in the future!
Mercury really said: 👀✨🤯 Okay in seriousness I really liked how this had turned out! Instrumental absolutely slaps, Un3h can sing those notes, Hen’s illustration being beautiful as always, and the animation was done very well! Mercury’s symbol always has me shook at the end lol Well done to everyone involved! :DDD✨
I know this is about the sun expanding and eventually swallowing the planets in our solar system, but after playing Elden Ring it fits the Flame of Frenzy ending really well.
There is nothing I've wanted more than more celestial jams- Not only is the story the songs are telling so interesting and mystical by the language itself- But the music is so intense and the vocalists all really sound fitting for the goddesses they're portraying and it's just- overall perfect and I hope for more from the series in the future
Yup. Just casually comes out from 1 year in hiding and drops this bombshell of a song. Sure. Anyways, thanks for releasing this! I've been looking forward to your music since the release of chronos!
Listening, gaia, goddess and this, it make me feel into another world. it is a masterpiece. Thank you Chepheid, i wait another masterpiece like this👍👍🙏🔥

Could be wrong, but the song seems to be about Mercury telling Gaia and Venus about their fate being related to the Sun/Sol's death.
When the sun starts dying, it means it has run out of Hydrogen from its core to burn off as fuel, so it will start burning off the Hydrogen in its shell instead, rapidly expanding with its luminosity also steadily increasing, this is called the red giant stage of the sun's death. I'll be explaining the relation between the Sun's death and the song:
*➢"Light searing the sky":*
⎯When the sun starts expanding, it will "burn off" the Earth's atmosphere, AKA "light searing the sky".
*➢"Menacing gaze peering at her scarred face":*
⎯"Scarred face" would be Earth's surface becoming oceans of lava with the atmosphere lost to space, therefore its "scarred".
*➢"Breathless yet she remains":*
⎯"Breathless" could mean the loss of the atmosphere, due to it being burnt off by the Sun's death/expansion.
*➢"Facing the flames, messenger conveying fate":*
⎯The messenger here is Mercury since in Roman mythology Mercury is the gods' messenger. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun therefore it is "facing the flames".
*➢"Sol will consume, goddess will fall":*
⎯The Sun, in its red giant stage, will consume Mercury, Venus & Gaia/Earth, "goddess" might be Venus in this, she will fall as she's consumed by the Sun's flames.
*➢"Fires will scorch Gaia's heart":*
⎯Gaia's heart would be the Earth's core I would assume.
*➢"Luna's eclipse":*
⎯Googling the definition of "Eclipse" you'd get something that would be self-explanatory here: "an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination", AKA the Sun's flames will "eclipse" Luna/the moon.
*➢"Will not forestall":*
⎯This just means that this is inevitable and cannot be stopped.
*➢"Celestial downfall":*
⎯Self-explanatory, the 3 planets: Mercury, Venus and Earth will be in the Sun's flames, while the other planets will most likely not be engulfed.
*➢"
You cant flee from your fate":*
⎯Mercury/The messenger is telling Venus and Gaia that they cannot escape this destiny.
*➢"Nothing will save you from calamitous embrace":*
⎯Nothing can be done to stop Venus and Earth from being swallowed by the Sun's raging flames.
*➢"A destiny etched in stone, written and bound":*
⎯This is saying that their destiny is already determined, "Etched in stone" could also mean that it cannot be changed or altered.
*➢"Dance your encore with grace":*
⎯Encore would be the repetition of the planetary orbit around the Sun, "Dance your encore" is just Earth's and Venus' Orbit around Sol.
*➢"The stars will witness your empyreal ballet":*
⎯Empyreal Ballet is just fancy words for "Celestial Orbit".
*➢"Erupt into violent rage, embers and ash remains":*
⎯Sol's eruption into rapid expansion and steady increase of luminosity that will engulf the 3 planets will leave nothing but embers and ash, in Earth's case it will actually leave oceans of lava and metal oxides but I digress.
⎯EDIT I: forgot to mention the artwork, the person in the image (I would assume to be Mercury), is "holding" the 3 planets (evident by the orbit lines around Sol/the Sun), the orange one would be Mercury, pink would be Venus and the blue one with a crescent orbiting it is, of course, Earth. The symbol on her crown (?) is Mercury's symbol ☿, Venus' symbol would of course be ♀, Earth's would be ⊕ and the Sun would be ⊙.
Hope this covered it all! If I made a mistake or should've mentioned another point LMK.
ACCURATE AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION POG
@@AeroParrie POG
Nice analysis!
🥲🥲😯😯😲😲
Could "facing the flames" be a reference to astronomers once believing Mercury was tidally locked to the sun as well?
FINALLY THE KING HAS RETURNED, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG.
Edit:
QUEEN

I'm literally in love ! ! ! !
NONON AYYYY
You know what. I think we are going to need a new religion, and Cepheid must be the pope.
Stole my entire genre of the moon’s residents, 2127, forming a religious army to invade Earth.
Lunaran and Terranians
Will there be crusaders?!

Menacing gaze peering at her scarred face
Breathless yet she remains
Facing the flames, messenger conveying fate

Thank youuu
Premiere I've been waiting longer than Cyberpunk.
So most of the people are talking about the meaning of the song and stuff( which is fun) but I want to say that I get chills while listening to this, it's just that good
space metal
bottom text
You mean UNIVERS?
or space is bigger?
Its cosmic metal my dude
Comisc Loli Metal
Hi im Pete Grif and
And ive commited tax evasion for 57 years
Celestial metal is the vibe I’m getting
Actual "This isn't a threat, it's a promise" as a song
I love how most of your songs seem to be about OCs!
What's an OC?
@@Stratovariuification Original Character. Character, that you create yourself.
Not really, more like about Greek mythology since the song is about mercury, the messenger
@@_wayward_494 Roman Mythology, Mercury is a Roman God, same with Venus. They're the Roman equivalents to the Greek ones of Aphrodite and Hermes (I think?).
The Romans are like knock off Greeks with their pantheon.
@@shadowdroid776 to prevent confusion, Mercury is the Roman version of Hermes, and Venus is the Roman Aphrodite, and yes Romans stole a lot of myths and legends from the Greeks.
I love how I had auto-play on, and when this played I immediately knew it was you. You've developed such a good and recognizable sound!

I can't help the anxiety I feel for the release of this song !!
May it be incredible like Gaia and Goddess. We believe that.
Hello from Brazil
...Okay so it's been confirmed that I'm very much into space-themed rock/metal if my love for astronomy and STARSET is anything to go by. This is absolutely amazing and I love the metaphors and visual adaptations of what each planet showcases and the events that will befall the whole solar system once the Sun's time has come.
YESSS I JUST MENTIONED THEM IN MY COMMENT AAAAA FAVE BAND
If these songs about Celestial Goddesses end up in an album, I'll buy all of then at once.
Bonus points if the Album's called Sol (name of our Sun/Solar System).
Every time I hear the part “Celestial Downfall” I get shivers down my spine. It’s just such a good song. Though every song on this channel is an amazing song.
The first song you release since I discovered this channel last year, I'm sure it's going to be amazing! Plus, I found it because of Goddess, the first in the trilogy, hype!
I just discovered this channel through a recommendation from comment sections earlier and most of the songs are fire 🔥
I can’t wait till my ears are blessed with this masterpiece.
Oh my gosh I LOVE this!! Such a powerful song.
Here for part 3 before cephid releases for the entire solar system
新曲めちゃくちゃ楽しみにしてました😭ダークで神聖なこの感じ……最高
Here to lead the Un3h stans
Holy shit, love her (and her) voice
I want a DND story based on Cephied’s ideology of gods in their respective planets or galaxies with these themes being the boss battles themes
Alert, space^H^H^H^H^H cosmic metal incoming!
I prefer the term cosmic metal but okay
You said cosmic twice, but okay.
0:15 the moment i saw this name, i knew this song is gonna be lit
i don't even need to listen to a millisecond of this to know that it's gonna be a masterpiece (but you bet your ass that i'm still gonna do it!)
So......
Messenger in flames = Mercury
Goddess = Venus
Gaia = Earth
I wonder what's next...Mars perhaps?
Jupiter probably
Who is Chronos then?
@@majorkusanagi2406 Saturn, but author does not consider it a part of series
Wonder if Elon appears in the Mars one.
Mars eh?
The Bloodlusted Warrior perhaps? i mean it was Mars, it was Blood Red, and it was God of War.
Can't bloody wait for the song about Mercury, tomorrow's day at work will be spent waiting for that 🥰
I see your a comrade in arms
That Riff Right before her vocals Kick in
Where It's All Choppy and Jaunting
Love that.
F*** yes. It's been a long time. Cepheid is back for another banger!
I want a song about Sol as an ending to this series
This is too good
Maybe a song about the sons of gaia
@@carso1500 by sons, you mean satellites? If so, then the only Luna is Gaia's "son"
@@redacted8983 in many stories humanity (and all animals by that) are considered Gaias sons and daughers since you know, she is the only planet in the whole solar system that managed to create life and see it prosper (Mars too created life but... Well... It didnt ended well) and humanity holds the potential (key word being potential) to become more powerful than any celestial body and even eventually any phenomena in the universe, the son surpassing the mother
@@carso1500 and by surpassing, you mean taming their father, Sol by building a dyson sphere. It sure is painful to see humanity leave Gaia for prolonging the existence of humanity as a species. Or see Gaia getting killed/punished by Sol through a camera with a built in tranciever as a parting gift from her sons and daughters.
@@redacted8983 well yeah, we can starlift the sun and delay it's end either by billions or trillions of years, or never let it happen at all, we do have that potential power after all and the science is sound, and we arent really that far away from being able to pull stunts like that
Finally you have returned
I love the way you portray this cosmic story.
Venus, then Gaia, and now Mercury. Truly wonderful as a astronomy buff. I hope Sol is next. One can not ignore the grand ruler of the heavens.
I just realized that the syncopation of the rithm that makes this song feel off might be referring how mercury's orbit shifts ever so slightly and used to be impossible to explain until Einstein came up with his theory of relativity
Yep, I think that too
I'm afraid the explanation for the rhythm being off may not be so elaborate. This is one of the signature features of progressive metal. If you listen to some prog metal songs you'll know what I'm talking about
@@nocturne.nocturnal perhaps, but once the art is out in the world, it can have millions of meanings on top of the ones intended by the author, and they aren't any less valid for it
@@koarta7324 if by "milliions of meanings" you mean different interpretations of something, sure they can all be valid. But they may not necessarily be so from the author's perspective
Glad i caan flex, i know a musician that makes massterpieces who nobody knows
Keep it up im already hyped PauseChamp
Edit: HOLY SHIT, and When i noticed what the lyricss means i felt my brain get wrinkles 5Head
the combination of metal and piano is fucking on point.
Yes, gladly will add this Goddess to the collection.
The vocal melody on the chorus is melting my mind. Insane performance.
HYPE, I'VE BEEN PLAYING GODDESS AND GAIA SO HARD
Hope to hear more songs like this. The whole trilogy is very good
This makes me wanna do another Dervish dance. Simply beautiful truly a hymn worthy of the magnificent and vast Sol.
They just keep getting better and better. Really love how the theme of mercury is basically just going on with it's orbit in spite of its doom in the far future.
Keep it up ! Amazing work!
Yoo! The illustrations are insane, hen-tie outdid himself this time. Also love to hear Un3h's voice with this :))
YES! Another song to listen to on repeat until I physically can't listen to it anymore, and then find it six months later and love it all over again and listen to it on repeat until I can't listen to it anymore, and then...
WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH A THIRD SONG OF CELESTIAL PROPORTION. I AM IN LOVE.
2:08 goddamn I'm loving the guitar and piano combo.
dam
I can't stop listening to these three songs! I hope there will be more themed around the planet and stars!
God That guitar is heavy AF! Good job this is awesome! So glad I found you!
I NEED more music like this. The concept of metal with lyrics describing cosmic deities and the like is GENIUS.
You know how, the sun will expand when it reaches the red giant phase consuming mercury, venus and most likely the earth? Yeah, we need a song about that it will be metal AF.
*The song about that comes out*
Well this, somehow, is more metal then expected... I need more
Adore this series so much Cepheid, I listen to it daily and I'm so happy to have a third track! I love the stories you tell with them~
So glad you got Un3h back in, as Chronos is legit my favorite song you've done, and this is damn near as fantastic!
Looking forward to more, mate!
新曲嬉しい
曲も声もどちらも本当に素敵で大好き
thanks new song.
I love all your songs.
Это прекрасно! я влюблена в эту серию песен и первые 2 части невероятны как и эта. Спасибо за то что вы делаете
Ооо русский)
i love your songs m8 and also how you try out new things in every song like in this one the non-fluid guitar and the guitar drop in 2:45 is timed very well i don´t know enough words how much i love your work pls keep it up it is more than music that u create it is art
Эта композиция заслуживает гораздо большего количества прослушиваний, потому что она является самой лучшей работой в этом плейлисте. Более грубый металл, атмосфера мрака. Определённо самая лучшая композиция.👍
Fantastic. In each one of these songs, the art is absolutely gorgeous. The artworks fit the songs wonderfully. The vocals bring life to the beautiful lyrics and fits perfectly with the song. It all works together, and it all is great.
The lyrics are very poetic,
The art is Godly
The music is Breathtaking
The Singer's voice is Majestic
I cannot believe that this marvel can be witnessed on a mortal made entertainment devices called Phone/Computer
This song so good, holding myself back from singing it at the top of my lungs actually makes my eyes tear up.
Just sheer rage and i can't fucking sing it as hard as i want.
Absolute masterpiece just like the other two of the series. This style you've created is straight up a Masterclass
Chillingly beautiful! Goosebumps!
Wow!! This feels like a culmination of the other two songs. And OH MY GOD the piano paired with the hard guitar!! CHILLS!!
Stumbled on this song today. Downloaded 4 others from the artist on Spotify... instantly hooked ✨
I got tears in my eyes and goosebumps all over - absolutely stunning stuff yet again! This series is so good I sure hope there will be more in the future!
These lyrics are phenomenal.
im crying i swear , too much emotions on this , the DJENT WAS DOPE
Mercury really said: 👀✨🤯
Okay in seriousness I really liked how this had turned out! Instrumental absolutely slaps, Un3h can sing those notes, Hen’s illustration being beautiful as always, and the animation was done very well! Mercury’s symbol always has me shook at the end lol
Well done to everyone involved! :DDD✨
I have a difficult time describing how phenomenal this is with words. Unbelievably good.
I know this is about the sun expanding and eventually swallowing the planets in our solar system, but after playing Elden Ring it fits the Flame of Frenzy ending really well.
There is nothing I've wanted more than more celestial jams-
Not only is the story the songs are telling so interesting and mystical by the language itself-
But the music is so intense and the vocalists all really sound fitting for the goddesses they're portraying and it's just- overall perfect and I hope for more from the series in the future
The piano chords are mesmerising !
Yup. Just casually comes out from 1 year in hiding and drops this bombshell of a song. Sure.
Anyways, thanks for releasing this! I've been looking forward to your music since the release of chronos!
SHEEEESHHHH WTF THE VOCALS BE BANGING
Another absolute banger!! Once this hits Spotify, it's time to loop repeat SO much
I was losing my hope... Welcome back!
Your music strikes right in the heart. Every time. Thank You.
Gr8 music. I'm looking forward to whatever you do in the future.
Listening, gaia, goddess and this, it make me feel into another world. it is a masterpiece. Thank you Chepheid, i wait another masterpiece like this👍👍🙏🔥
