that's the way I found Earthside, Inthesilence, and Polyphia. Polyphia imo is pure magic. This has a nice sound, a little depressing in the rhythm but not so much I wanna switch songs. gonna give it a driving test😆
I’m a 60 year old guitarist,and this album has become a breath of fresh air in my journey of musical discovery,thanks so much for for the inspiration to examine alternative genres,your diversity of content keeps the listener guessing as to where you will go next! I will be buying your physical package very shortly 🤟🇬🇧👍
Hey guys! We just wanted to say thank you for all the great comments. even if we don't find the time to reply each and every one this really keeps us going and it really means a lot to us to get that much positive feedback! :) We are currently working on our 3rd full length album - head over to facebook and give us a like so you get all the newest information about the stuff going on with TDWA:) we would really love that! :) facebook.com/theirdogswereastronauts
+alex santana Hey! Great to hear that :) Feel free to make playthrough videos and stuff if you want - we really appreciate that ;) Unfortunately we have no tour or shows planned but we're working on it. But i also have to add that we are from Austria and we don't have the possibility to play huge international tours yet. but let's see what the future brings :)
+DAN Sounds wth.. no lie, I DON'T remember making that comment. nor do I remember watching this or know who you guys are lmao. I was watching though, to jog my memory and THIS IS SICK. Don't know how I'd forget. but yeah, you guys will make it.
ok... after hearing it 1000 times and having the same felling and image i need to share,......everytime i listen to Checkpoint4 i see BMO from Adventure Time in my head dancing with the Water Nymphs...lots of fun....thanks Denis and Leonard
fuck yeah. it's like I'm floating through space headbanging forgetting about anything that's ever made me upset. metal has came such a long way from anger to a peaceful anger and relaxation but still always a little heavy. good grooving dudes
Came back this album after 6 months, Still some of the best groove based djent i've ever heard, Reminds me of Astraeus at times, which can only be a good thing.
Honestly I feel like anything above a 7 string is gimmicky and has very limited practical use. This album for example I'm quite sure could be played entirely on a 7 string, and bands like Within the Ruins achieve outstanding baritone music without the use of 8 string guitars. Now that isn't to say that the 8th string is completely obsolete. There are people like Tosin Obasi who create very unique pieces by utilising these instruments. Not many people can compete on his level, however, and thus a majority of music *like this very album* ends up sounding muddy with poor clarity (I think they're using EMG pickups) a lot of which could have been avoided I feel by using a 7 string.
@@connormcdermott1985 I'm 99% sure he plays a seven, and your entire statement regarding eights is entirely opinion based. You start to lose "practicality" when the neck becomes too big for the fretting hand. Most eights have a borderline flat or concave neck profile.
has some very nice taste of wide eyes, yet does not feel copied or imitated, more inspired without loosing the selfmade individual feel on it. Crazy stuff, really awesome.
Wow, this is a phenomenal album, this is the type of music that keeps the world going. I appreciate all of the hard work that went into this and I'll definitely keep a look out for future albums.
I've only listened to the first two minutes of this vid and im already in love. Im now just waiting for you guys to take me to dinner so we can take next step toward getting these pants off.
Holy FUCK!!!!!! It's SO GOOD!!! Thank you guys so much for all the hard work you obviously put into this. I'm thoroughly enjoying this and I know I will for a long time to come. So glad I found you guys.
Holy crap... Only listened to the first track so far, already hooked. I was really starting to get bored of my usual Animals as Leaders, Periphery, Dream Theater, Tesseract playlist... Just got a crap ton more variety thrown in! Love it.

I feel ya man, seems like every new band is so unoriginal or just trying to fit in to the "djent" scene, it's nice to hear something unique, and this is definitely it. Keep it up TDWA you guys are incredible!
I have listened to this album so many times that I can't thank you enough. So much that when I look up even pervy anime on youtube this album is still in my recommended or autoplay list! It's what got me playing guitar again after 15 years of not doing so. Of all the instrumental prog metal in the vast world of the internet it has become THE standard for me. Ya, maybe cuz it's one of the first albums of this type I've listened to forever (I'm old) but OMG, seriously, thank you so much.
Jesus...I'm so glad I found this band today on /r/progmetal. These guys F'ing shred! Reminds me a lot of Animals As Leaders...In a good way. New fan. Some of this gives me goosebumps.
Yo this music is GOOD. Maybe it's because I've been up for two days straight and perspective is starting to get a little fuzzy but dis shiet is, regardless, GOOD.
The originality of some of the guitar riffs are just amazing. Like @ 7:00-8:00 is just awesome. I will agree with what 1 other person said that the drums sound a bit automated at times...but it almost doesn't even matter. I keep finding myself returning to listen to this
I have good speakers right in my face much of the time where I work, and i just went through a TDWA marathon....everything on youtube I could find that you guys have done, and I have to say, Earthkeeper is the most amazing. Every song has such variety and emotion...it's your Rumours, your Moving Pictures, your Synchronicity, your Thriller, your Straight Outta Compton, your Jagged Little Pill. Please keep making this awesomeness.
Thanks so much man! That's such an honor to read this! :D We're really glad that you enjoy it! :D And of course, we will continue making TDWA music, I hope you'll enjoy the newer stuff too ;)
This is truly good. I've been jumping CZcams suggestions all day, and many an album seemed to me unoriginal and bland, but I have finally found what I didn't know I was missing. Thanks. This is cool.
your stuff is so phenomenal I just purchased all your music...very good indeed!!! I am enjoying Earthkeeper through a nice set of cans right now...If you ever come to the states, make sure you visit Michigan!!! I will be front and center there to enjoy it!!!
Thanks a lot man! We really appreciate that support. it's not usual that people buy so much of our stuff :) we definitely let you know if we come to the US, but nothings planned at the moment.
Just stumbled across you guys. Had to listen to this whole album. Incredible dynamics. If there was just a bit more tech/mathy parts you could be untouchable!
Man not sure what happened to a comment I thought I put up here before, but I only made my CZcams account to tell you how great I thought this is. At first I thought it was good, but the more I've listened to it the more I notice the intricate features you both put into your groove. You guys are mega tight, and I look forward to your next release. Top notch shit.
Mick McDonald Hey man! Thanks a lot! That really is an amazing feedback and means a lot to us! I read your comment when it was here first and I don't know what happened to it. Stay tuned, the new EP is coming in 2 days :)
in these times of awakening i find your music to be such bliss and mind altering.it really helps me stay connected with the positive energey i seek. you guys are amazing artists.Always love from Duke at Art & Soul Tattoo MIddleton Wi.
Check out our newest EP "A Constant Stream Of Color" :D

DAN Sounds I'm afraid I'm gonna need newer content lads
newer content is on its way dude ;)
sometime 2017, we don't know exactly when though ;)
Concerts in London?
LOVE THE MUSIC!
also, I made a track ...somewhat similar. Check it out if you wish.
TDWA, Keep it up!
Clicking music videos with random names never fails to produce gold eventually
+B4RGH3ST True shit right here man, today is a great day. Found 2 new bands :D
+Teh Elefishehcorn which is the second?
that's the way I found Earthside, Inthesilence, and Polyphia.
Polyphia imo is pure magic.
This has a nice sound, a little depressing in the rhythm but not so much I wanna switch songs.
gonna give it a driving test😆
probably Their Animals Were Leaders

These ARE the grooves we are looking for
I came for the interesting band name and stayed for the deep djenty grooves. 11.9/10
yesssssssssss
love this album so much, came across it recently now its my backgrround noise when ever i play a game
thanks man! :)
I'm digging this. CZcams is learning what I like!
Amazing album, listen to it every day.
+bob silliger Thanks man!! :D
Came back this album after 6 months, Still some of the best groove based djent i've ever heard,

3:08 the last time something that heavy dropped, dinasours went extinct.
Hahahahahahahaha
Umur Akansel OHHHHHHHH SNAP BUDDY
damn.... the places i never thought metal would go.
great use of the clean guitar tones and of course great riffage!
Came here thinking this was a parody of the post-rock band "God Is An Astronaut". Instead, I am a fan of both bands now.
Same here :D
Archeeer!
Same fam
I see Animals as Leaders has been inspiration to you guys. Props, yo! I like you guys!
Unpredictability within the Elements. I was intrigued by your refusal to lead me where I expected to go. Well done!
I don't always post comments on youtube, but when I do, it's for kickass music like this!
has some very nice taste of wide eyes, yet does not feel copied or imitated, more inspired without loosing the selfmade individual feel on it.
Crazy stuff, really awesome.
You haven't listened to Animals as Leaders then
It's rare for me to find an instrumental band as good as this.
Scale the summit is incredible its what got me into instrumental music in the first place
Awesome and mesmerizing. Great work lads. Thx for the upload! :D
After listening for a month and comparing it with others I can come to only one conclusion............you djentlemen outdone yourself :D
I think it is one of the best albums I have ever heard! I love instrumental progressive melodic metal!
Wow, this is a phenomenal album, this is the type of music that keeps the world going. I appreciate all of the hard work that went into this and I'll definitely keep a look out for future albums.
Keep making music guys! this is some seriously good shit
I can't stop listening to this album...always on repeat, awesome music!
It's dope how the album starts in black and white and finishes in full color.
I've only listened to the first two minutes of this vid and im already in love. Im now just waiting for you guys to take me to dinner so we can take next step toward getting these pants off.
Dylan Johnson Boosh!
That guitar tone is fucking gorgeous, and those riffs are Gods
So hard and heavy, yet, so chill somehow. Perfect to hear when doing homework.
Holy FUCK!!!!!! It's SO GOOD!!! Thank you guys so much for all the hard work you obviously put into this. I'm thoroughly enjoying this and I know I will for a long time to come. So glad I found you guys.
Thank you youtube! You actually recommend great new-to-me music every once and a while.
Holy crap... Only listened to the first track so far, already hooked. I was really starting to get bored of my usual Animals as Leaders, Periphery, Dream Theater, Tesseract playlist... Just got a crap ton more variety thrown in! Love it.
PeterNewmanXIII Wow Thanks!! already talked to you on facebook but anyway, big thank you from us two and greetings from austria :)
PeterNewmanXIII This is way better than Periphery/Tesseract. It isnt being held back by whiny vocals.
Rob Greene ...Sure, lets just detract from their incredible compositional skills because they chose tenors for their lineup...
Well yeah, should have kept it instrumental.
I get bored just by reading your playlist)))

this is ridiculously good. lately not too much metal has been quality, but im glad i found this in my morning.
thanks man!
Means a lot!! :D
I feel ya man, seems like every new band is so unoriginal or just trying to fit in to the "djent" scene, it's nice to hear something unique, and this is definitely it. Keep it up TDWA you guys are incredible!
Yea man I agree with that. There's always the pioneers, the perfecters, and then the copycats. This is definitely a pioneer.
tech death/ melodic death metal is always a good listen
I have listened to this album so many times that I can't thank you enough. So much that when I look up even pervy anime on youtube this album is still in my recommended or autoplay list!

You're VERY welcome!
That's soo good to hear!
Glad you got into playing again too :D
this is outrageously sick. love some of the weird melodies behind the nasty grooves.
Sick introduction, creepy, eerie, and intricately built.
Came for the name (and the youtube algorithm) Stayed for the music. \m/
Jesus...I'm so glad I found this band today on /r/progmetal. These guys F'ing shred!
Reminds me a lot of Animals As Leaders...In a good way. New fan. Some of this gives me goosebumps.
I just discovered this album and really enjoy the soundscapes it contains. An enjoyable listen. I'm also glad it's instrumental as well! Good stuff!
Being picky about my djent and the style, I wasn't expecting a lot from you guys.
But holy shit
You guys have some serious chops. I fuckin' love this! Count me in as a fan ;D
+Patrick Callahan Thanks man! We really appreciate that!
the guitar in the beginning on dead end 😍😍😍 I get the chills from it count me in as a fan guys!!!!
Huge prog fan here... DAMN Boys!!! this is some good shit!!!!
Yo this music is GOOD. Maybe it's because I've been up for two days straight and perspective is starting to get a little fuzzy but dis shiet is, regardless, GOOD.

Thanks man!!! :)

Oh man I can't wait til this becomes available in physical copy in the US.
Totally brutally brutal. Keep kicking ass fellas 😊

This is just djenty prog.
For most metal you can just read the lyrics to familiarize yourself...
coming into being
Damn. The groove uhh !
that riff around 7:00 is so catchy
awesome album
