      Frankly, I wish this band was on a different label. Century Media makes it difficult and expensive to buy their music, as if you don't want us to. My least favorite metal label, followed closely by Nuclear Blast, although they're pulling away from you guys.
      I don't want to buy a CD and I don't use streaming services. You guys ever hear of a thing called MP3? A site called bandcamp? Get with the times. I guarantee I can find any album on your label available for illegal download, so the only people you're hurting by restricting digital releases are the ones who want to legally buy the music.

However, what i thought was going to be a forgettable song, stuck with me for all those years, with some of the riffs coming up in my mind from time to time. Until a few days ago i found this video by pure chance, by the time you're reading this, i've listened to the whole thing at least 2 times. And still, i can't say i truly understand (not because of the lyrics being swedish) their works.

I've been listening to metal for 40 years, and I have to say this has to be the most skillfully made album I've ever heard. They should have named this album "Simultaneous", because how can music simultaneously be

      Or, kind of like the Star Wars treatment. You know how in almost every one of those movies post the OG trilogy they just bombard it with throwbacks and familiar things to be like "HEYYY LOOK AT THIS! STAR WARS! SEE THE AT-ATS??? YO DID HE SAY HE HAS A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS? WOW MAN, STAR WARS!"
      And maybe there's a point to be made with the recycled stuff in this album. However, the context is different for one and the execution is just SSS+ tier. They wove them in so intricately, making them parts of the larger whole, the album is a continuation of the story from the first. It adds so much cohesion to the audio story telling.

      Exactly my thoughts. The artwork reminds me of The Fool’s journey in Tarot. There are archetypes in the artist’s work that portray greed, injustice & gluttony such as in Masstaden. I had a theory that Vatten is the ruler that gets dethroned thus entering paradise. There is judgement, the wolves in the hourglass (the wolf howl sampling), so many little pieces that make a gigantic puzzle. You see the hooded figure is the catalyst for the conjuring, libra scales throughout the artwork: the seagull city civilians revolt. I can’t wrap my mind around the full thing yet but that’s what I’m conceptualizing as of right now. I feel like Masstaden nationslang is an ode to what was and how things were, now under Vatten things are much darker.

The letter stated that he was still alive and being held captive down in the port. The snake eventually gets caught, after spreading the truth to the people about the tyrannical cult. The snake is sent under to die a bitter death, but to fulfill the prophecy of the bird man.

      This is my favorite track so far too. There are so many very brief motifs and sounds from masstaden. I heard clean intro to dagger (just a few notes), then the beepy sound from all these feelings. Putting in all those references to their debut was brilliant. Protest the hero has done this a lot too and I dig it.

    As someone who's been at the birth of THALL mainly the event called Euroblast vol.6 in 2010, everyone was baffled and just confused at what that meant, and years and years i've still tried to get a meaning out of it, while the band itself just said it meant nothing, just THALL, well i kinda figured it out what it could mean with this album, its "UNIQUE" the band is, the music is, and nothing comes quiet close to this band. Just as Meshuggah once was, a complete and total unique entity. This album is just immense, Its a audiovisual dream, hard to describe, its like we went through the rabbit hole, never got out, yet we still think we got out, and then we get sucked into it even more deeper.

    This is why I spout and will die on the hill that "you get out what you put in". THE LEVEL of fucking effort and time this album took is probably 2nd to none. The complexity of literally everything from the touching on/continuation of the previous masstaden album, the lyrics, the artwork, the insane polyrhythms and grooves that are more diverse and unique than the previous album.. They evolved boys.. Into something NONE of us could've expected. The feeling I have is how privileged we are to have the technology to capture this and put it on devices that allow to hear it whenever we want. How amazing it is to be alive.

    The ambient melody at 4:45 gives me chills every single time. I know everyone is pouring their hearts out over this, but this perfectly encapsulates the vibe/tone the world has been in for the past few years. I was in self imposed isolation well before the pandemic and there are so many parts that catch that raw feeling of isolation and living on the fringe. You can tell they put their heart and souls into every second of this work of art. Not only that, but this shit must be what Dark Souls bosses listen to to get pumped. I'm going to be listening to this for years to come, especially at the gym.

    I think this is already much more than music. I have a strange feeling while I am listening to it that I can not even describe. The atmosphere which has been created here is not human anymore. It is so deep, otherwordly, but sometimes even cold. Like a frozen cave where I am searching for an exit. It It is far beyond our regular level of musical comprehension. The message what comes from these frequencies, rhythmical ideas, melodies and from the overall sound is simple above us. It wants to transmit something to me. It sounds like something that was hidden from the mankind until now, but now we have the access to hear it. It feels like a time travel within myself, in my spiritual world, but I am feeling myself in the past, in the present and in the future at the same time.
    I would gladly enter the inner world of the creators once, but I am afraid the deeper I would go the more I would get lost in there, maybe forever...
    Thank you Vildhjarta for this awesome experience. It is an honor for me.

    I'm not even done listening to the whole thing but I can confidently say that this is the album of the fucking decade. Insane work on all fronts and a fantastic extension to måsstaden. The callbacks on måsstadens nationalsång (under vatten) were the cherry on top of the cake. Mind blowing riffs, amazing atmosphere and thematic complexity and consistency. What else can one wish from an album? thall

    • @johannrajan3279

      I disagree with the statement that it is the album of the decade there are albums such Koloss, Violent Sleep of Reason, Lugal Ki En, The Joy of Motion, Immersion. Clearly heavier. This album I will give album of the year. But the songs are not memorable, but certainly there are moments.

    • @static_motion
      @static_motion Před 2 lety +4

      @@johannrajan3279 Sure, you do you. I love every single one of those albums, but to me "heavier" does not equal "better" (how is The Joy Of Motion heavier than this by the way?). None of those are even close to the level of storytelling and compositional complexity as this one to me. My previous AOTY contender, Välde, is IMO heavier than any of the ones in that list and heavier than måsstaden under vatten, but despite being beautifully composed, this one still takes the cake in my book.

    so after a few listens i can say this is nothing like Masstaden or Thousands of Evils, its a whole new way to feel this band. The atmosphere grows thick and melancholy grasps your soul along the way, its something I’ve definitely felt before on their previous works but with a different approach, mature and elegant. I miss songs like Traces, the lone deranger, langstmedan, dimman, with those intricate clean/acoustic passages and the old clean vocals. With that said, I think its a great album and its structure deserves a lot of attention, I would recommend that you listen to this album without looking at the tracks and just let the music shape itself along the way.
    I give it a 10000000/10. thall 🤘🏻

    Jesus, the polyrhythms, the never-ceasing groove, the doominess of it, the way it does both crushing brutality and melodic density so well simultaneously, without compromising on either. This is incredible, incredible stuff and, more than most metal bands right now, you can feel the emotion behind this. Like, it's not even close. This was something they needed to get off their chests. Man, just absolutely moving. The closest thing I can think of is when I first listened to Koloss and how things like "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion" felt, but even more evolved and rich.
