Listening to Mechina always turns my mind back towards the simple things... Orbital bombardment. Taking a drop-pod down through your own bombardment. Power armor. Monomolecular blades. Cutting an assault mech down with a monomolecular blade. You know. Simple things.
It's the nanosecond Dave roars through with "that they can also bleed" that turns my head into a god damn windmill. My neck aches already. The last 3 albums have been great, don't get me wrong, but there's something special about what Dave did on this song to take us back to the truest highs of MEchina, albums like Progenitor and Embers. More seriously, what a phenomenal storytelling song. After 3 albums building Virton as this nightmarish beast responsible for the death of untold billions and the destruction of an entire planet, to hear Alithea scream after severing his traitorous head from his body and bathing in his blood is so cathartic. You feel for her and everything she has suffered through. And now the revelation that Enyo somehow has a child and the implication seeming to be that she is the Titanborn of Hydrus? Impeccable. What a revelation. Take us deeper into the final conflict and tell me MORE. Give me 40 more songs just like this signature mix of everything they've ever done and let me die happily.
This song had so much punch with the harsh vocals after being starved of it for a while... I had wished some of the great melodies we had in recent albums had the harsh vocals for variations though... Even if it was that deep, bassy, male A.I. voice from to coexist is to surrender or something. Mechina flexing it's variation is what drew me to it in the first place.
Mechina is not the way you described the style, it’s so that you completely understand their genre of music Symphonic Industrial Death Metal, well, this is so that you understand in a completely new way)))))
I totally missed this release for some reason, saw it on Bandcamp while listening to Compendium Progenitor. Obviously went over here to watch the video, too. The rolling drums, full force, at 2:10 made me grin so hard - back to the Acheron/Progenitor times, and I'm all for it! Don't get me wrong, the last albums were fun, but this song is why I fell in love with Mechina.
@@komet5420They typically release new albums on new year's day. They generate hype at the end of the year before the new album drops by singles or trailers.
@@komet5420Because Joe is a machine. This track might not be part of an upcoming album but the sound of the epic singles is usually close to the follow-up album. And after The World We Lost all the other singles did show up as parts of the albums so there's always the possibility that it could be an album opener. (Though personally I doubt it.)
It's not just Mel and Dave alternating in that really cool signature Mechina way, they each also display more variety and emotions in their vocals. The part at 9:13 legit gave me goosbumps even though I don't know the story, the raw vocals conveying those emotions in a way I haven't heard before from Dave was such good storytelling. Shoutout to Joe for being such a consistent songwriter and hard worker! Thank you all Ps: fuck yeah, death growls on Mechina songs
YES!!! Mechina finally flexing it's variation again! This type of beautiful and raw contrast in its soundscapes is what drew me to it in the first place: The harsh vocals, the breathy tribal acapella, the synthy male and female vocals, and the mythic, booming, bassy, male A.I. voice!!! ...on instrumentals it was the raw rhythmical guitars contrasting with sweeping, catchy piano, violin, techy under-tones or full orchestral symphonies! I'll happily add this single to the growing list of unique masterpieces from my favorite band ever!!
This song certainly doesn't feel like 18 minutes. Many of my past favorites, like To Coexist, are like that. I've been critical of a lot of the songs off the last few albums, but this is a glorious return to form.
The dual vocals add so much depth. I love Mel's voice but the jumping back and forth between heavy and gorgeous is immensely and sorely missed from the last few albums.
Literally a PERFECT marriage of all this group's elements... I've enjoyed the past couple albums immensely, but this is a step up even from that. Thank you guys so much for your talent and passion, it really shows in your music. ❤
The variety of the song really comes through. personally I miss that mythic, deep, bassy male A.I. voice once in a while haha. The one from "to so-exist is to surrender."
This is fucking masterpiece!! So complex song... with another tale from Mechina world.. Love it so much! I love the balance between the harsh vocals and clean vocals... and those symphonic parts are perfect!
Joe, this is so fucking good. The best part for me is when the orchestrations "peak out" of the negative space between the djent riffs. Definitely a good song for motivation in the gym. Also, thanks for giving us a tour of the artwork during the video!
This is the most epic shit ever conceived in the history of mankind. I don't know what other plane of existence I transcend to while I'm listening to this but I can't get enough of it. Also Mel and Dave together like this is just pure cosmic magic!
Epic! Sound like old Mechina with new Mechina. And just for me i prefer the vocals separate, a littlie duo is fine but your vocal talents are best served standing on their own. Over all pure epic music!
Virton has been slain His head is a trophy And a warning to Empyrean What part will this half-titan offspring play? The battle lines are drawn, the final confrontation looms Blessings upon the field where blades will flood
@@Phyrexus Daughter of Enyo, half-titan. Since Enyo is not herself a titan born, maybe she had a small moment of feelings and fell for a titanborn, and had a child. Since Alithea is also berserk and Enyo loves war, maybe they will both die after the war, and Amynthas will take care of the child, and the future generations. Maybe
@@Albertgraure in that same verse though, Amyntas is talking about Hydrus giving her sword to him, and that in the light he sees "someone born of my bloodline", and then says the bit about the half-titan. I'm wondering if that means Enyo created a child using Amyntas' genes and her own, and that child is Hydrus.
So as a fan since Xenon, Like it alot. Miss Daves vocals, love Mels also but lets face it, Ashes of old Earth is amazing. I like the way they trade off like with Telesterion. Hope the record is more like this. Keep it up.
I saw somebody call Xenon "angsty," which I don't quite get. That whole album had them firing on all cylinders with everything that makes them Mechina: Dave's growls, his soaring autotuned sections, and (for the love of god) the orchestrals. Nowadays they're just synth soundscapes with Mel's vocals and no real structure. Hopefully this single is the first step toward what they used to be.
Randomly clicked on this cuz it was in my suggestions coming from a space banjo video. Really glad I did, Mechina has a new fan now. Surprised I haven't heard of them before tbh.
He grows as a musician in each release. He really does. The past few albums have been... rough. But that's mainly because of the vocals. Well, that's not really an issue in this song. And his talent is on full display.
Jeusus Christ... When Dave made his entrance i instantly got teleported back to the world we lost, Acheron and Empyrean!!!! I hope the entire album will be like this!
This sounds like a return to form! Hope the new album will sound close to this! Great song, I like it better than most of what's on the last 2-3 albums. A bit too long as usual but you finally got the sound right! And Dave's harsh (and clean) vocals are back!
Finally, David is back. Holy shit. I was worried sick. I'd actually stopped listening to Mechina for almost two years because I thought he'd quit the band.
What a tuneeee🤘 best elements of Mechina in one long masterpiece song🤘 It's great to hear Dave again. Mel killing is as always so as maestro Joe. Love Mechina me.
let dave cook, been listening to mechina since 2011. his growls are so underrated in the metal community. (also everyone else in this band are underrated)
Listening to Mechina always turns my mind back towards the simple things...
Orbital bombardment. Taking a drop-pod down through your own bombardment. Power armor. Monomolecular blades. Cutting an assault mech down with a monomolecular blade.
You know. Simple things.
Mechina isn't really Mechina without Dave Holsch's growls. Glad to have him back.
Fuck yeah 🤘
Finally DAVE IS BACK. Busting through Mel's vocals, it's exactly what Mechina needed
It's the nanosecond Dave roars through with "that they can also bleed" that turns my head into a god damn windmill. My neck aches already. The last 3 albums have been great, don't get me wrong, but there's something special about what Dave did on this song to take us back to the truest highs of MEchina, albums like Progenitor and Embers.

Amen brother. Brutally fantastic.
Listening to your music while playing warframe is a amazing experience.
Perfect combo
Yesssirrrr
Thank god the growls and varied vocals are back!
This is as epic as The World We Lost and To Coexist is to Surrender! Amazing! Now we have a trilogy!
Ah! A fellow man of culture I see!
Cepheus: "Am I a joke to you?"
As much as I love Mel's vocals, I'm so glad we get at least one song with duo vocals
I love all the duo vocals so much, it sounds so good.
I think a good chunk of Cenotaph had duo vocals, although lacking growls
This song had so much punch with the harsh vocals after being starved of it for a while... I had wished some of the great melodies we had in recent albums had the harsh vocals for variations though... Even if it was that deep, bassy, male A.I. voice from to coexist is to surrender or something. Mechina flexing it's variation is what drew me to it in the first place.
Love em both its a winning combo and this song is outstanding as is the whole "ep"?
Yeah my favorites vocally are the ones where they both sing and harmonize with each other, then Dave growls on the heaviest parts 🤘🤘
This is a whole new Genre, called Mechina Metal❤
Mechina is not the way you described the style, it’s so that you completely understand their genre of music Symphonic Industrial Death Metal, well, this is so that you understand in a completely new way)))))
"That they can also bleed" Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Love it!!!

How do you know it's a full album?

@@komet5420that’s what I’m wondering. Hopefully we’ll get another album soon!!!
Never dissapoint, love the duo vocals, Just an epic masterpiece
18 mins of musical genius, can't wait for this to get in Spotify.

The rawness of Dave's scream coming through at 9:20 SO HYPE!!!!
the synthesizer bits gives a terminator 1 vibe.... love it

I like the Marathon theme. Grew up on those games!
Also, this is my favorite Mechina song to come out since the Acheron era. Good stuff!
Hell yeah, glad I wasn't the only one to see that
I hope that one day we will see novellisation for the whole storyline, told in all albums.
This is a perfect comeback song for sure
This song certainly doesn't feel like 18 minutes. Many of my past favorites, like To Coexist, are like that. I've been critical of a lot of the songs off the last few albums, but this is a glorious return to form.
Finally growls are back! Amazing epic masterpiece!
Damn, it's almost as long as "The World We Lost" (30 seconds less).
Just finished listening, good stuff right here! 🤘
The dual vocals add so much depth. I love Mel's voice but the jumping back and forth between heavy and gorgeous is immensely and sorely missed from the last few albums.
I just love Mechina man. So awesome.
Literally a PERFECT marriage of all this group's elements... I've enjoyed the past couple albums immensely, but this is a step up even from that. Thank you guys so much for your talent and passion, it really shows in your music. ❤
The variety of the song really comes through. personally I miss that mythic, deep, bassy male A.I. voice once in a while haha. The one from "to so-exist is to surrender."
I'm pretty sure it will appear soon enough again
They just cant have it anywhere to prevent it getting repetitive i guess
I completely agree
This is fucking masterpiece!! So complex song... with another tale from Mechina world.. Love it so much! I love the balance between the harsh vocals and clean vocals... and those symphonic parts are perfect!
been a fan since embers and this is the best song ive heard since then. Godspeed mechina and welcome back!!!
Mechina is the gift that keeps on giving.
This is brutally awesome!
Finally the real mechina has returned. 🥹 I love the previous albums, but the real mechina sound is so beautiful.
I can't be the only person who wants a stellaris album from this band. This is awsome
VERY TRUE. They need to collaborate with the Stellaris devs and make some sick lore music. I always have Mechina on during my Galactic Genocides.
The synths really work well here. Such a unique sound but still so familiar.
The programmed drums trashy as always tho...
Mel and David are back!!!!
Joe you hit this one out of the park the park bro!!!!!
Oh my God! Mechina is old again! Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏
Mechina Universe never fails!
Been listining to Mechina since Xenon and to this day they are easilly one of the most underrated artists I've ever immensely enjoyed.
Joe, this is so fucking good. The best part for me is when the orchestrations "peak out" of the negative space between the djent riffs. Definitely a good song for motivation in the gym. Also, thanks for giving us a tour of the artwork during the video!
Welcome back
Best thing you did since Progenitor
Holy fuck…by the beard of Odin what a fucking tune……..this is what life’s about people who can create music like this transcend others. WOW
Dave is the best growler on earth!!!!!
Man this is the real mechina I fell in love at first 🤟🖤
This is the most epic shit ever conceived in the history of mankind. I don't know what other plane of existence I transcend to while I'm listening to this but I can't get enough of it. Also Mel and Dave together like this is just pure cosmic magic!
it is such a crime showing ad while banger song is bangging
Epic! Sound like old Mechina with new Mechina. And just for me i prefer the vocals separate, a littlie duo is fine but your vocal talents are best served standing on their own. Over all pure epic music!
Virton has been slain
His head is a trophy
And a warning to Empyrean
What part will this half-titan offspring play?
The battle lines are drawn, the final confrontation looms
Blessings upon the field where blades will flood
Oh wait, is the half-titan supposed to be Hydrus? 🤯

Ashes of old Earth, especially the Copmpendium version with that Violin melody all through the song, is one of my favorite songs ofa ll time.
Dave's voice is commanding mountains. Insane.
Finally clean and harsh vocals at the same time!
*Love the atmospheric parts, love the heavy stuff. Stunning vocals. Simply brilliant!*
just amaxzng!!! =D can't wait for the rest of the album!! =D
No new álbum this year?
Randomly clicked on this cuz it was in my suggestions coming from a space banjo video. Really glad I did, Mechina has a new fan now. Surprised I haven't heard of them before tbh.
My favorite song by them is Vanquisher, check it out
dude this is such a underrated industrial metal band, i just discovered them today 😁
Without a doubt the best Cyber Metal band to ever exist.
Yes!!!!! I've got goosebumps listening to this. 💜
Of course another masterpiece yet again! Waiting for the spotify! PRAISE HYDRUS! 🔥🔥
DAVE MY BELOVED!
wooohooo summer singles are back on the menu!
Dave! We've been missing you so much!
return to form for the mighty mechina thank god 4 the heavy vocals much appreciated .
Joe’s guitar tones HEAVY and crushing as usual!! Awesome. Will this become available on iTunes?
He grows as a musician in each release. He really does. The past few albums have been... rough. But that's mainly because of the vocals. Well, that's not really an issue in this song. And his talent is on full display.
Its Finally Time for them to play live !!! They have enough for a lengthy set that will kick asses in seats !!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I didn't think I would ever experience such an amazing Mechina-song again T__T not just a song, it's an entire journey
Jeusus Christ... When Dave made his entrance i instantly got teleported back to the world we lost, Acheron and Empyrean!!!! I hope the entire album will be like this!
It's been 6 years since Mechina the last had dual vocals. Welcome back, masters, your return is truly majestical. I missed you.
They had lots of dual vocals on Telesterion, and they had two songs on Venator
that's not true
You guys are incredible!!! I was hoping you embraced all your vocal varieties. Soooo happy! You stand above all in my book!
First time listening to mechina, they really are a fascinating band
This sounds like a return to form! Hope the new album will sound close to this! Great song, I like it better than most of what's on the last 2-3 albums. A bit too long as usual but you finally got the sound right! And Dave's harsh (and clean) vocals are back!
Amyntas and Alithea cannot be denied.
They completely outdid themselves with this one! absolutely brilliant 😌
This song is freaking transcendental, I absolutely love it.
Шикарный трек, рад возвращению гроула)
Mechina is my love)
будем надеяться, что это не единственный трек в альбоме с гроулом)
@@user-mc1oz6si8q думаю, это отдельный, внеальбомный сингл
Welcome back Dave !!!! This is the Mechina we love ! Now , I can sleep in peace
I had goosebumps the entire track, epic, powerful, emotional. Pure Mechina goodness !
Damn, it's a new masterpiece! Ave, Joe, Mel and Dave!
Mechina, you are my gym workout band. I needed this new music 💪🏻
Finally, David is back. Holy shit. I was worried sick. I'd actually stopped listening to Mechina for almost two years because I thought he'd quit the band.
This reminds me of Progenitor Ashes of Old Earth & As embers Turn to Dust which are my most fave of yr music - haunting & beautiful
thank the machine gods dave is back
What a tuneeee🤘 best elements of Mechina in one long masterpiece song🤘 It's great to hear Dave again. Mel killing is as always so as maestro Joe. Love Mechina me.
This is the most engaging 13 minute plus song ive ever heard.
This is so good, always love seeing new content from these guys so I can’t wait for 2024
Thanks for making this. Looking all over the internet for this scene..... ty Joe.... forever
Mechina has been for many years among my favorite bands and they never ever disappoint, this new song blows my mind as always 😍 thank you guys ❤❤❤❤
Just perfect! As always, Mechina..
Another banger from you guys! I am glad the harsh vocals are back, and I hope there is more of that to come.
Yay heavies are back baby!!! XD Mechina hasn't been the same without them! \m/
Simply incredible song with amazing production
YESSSSS Christmas came early this year fellow Mechina Enjoyers!
Absolutely amazing, incredible job gang.
Ty for listening to your fan base
10:50 this rhyme is just godlike
let dave cook, been listening to mechina since 2011. his growls are so underrated in the metal community. (also everyone else in this band are underrated)
Dave is literally the best growler on the planet. simply phenomenal voice.
Thank you Xeno for showing me this godly band ❤
Who is xeno? Also they have good taste
The fiery gems about to be dropped come 2024 only God knows. Hail!!! MECHINA

*Chef's kiss as always*
Everything Mechina makes is a masterpiece, holy moly! They inspire me so much❤
Getting my Mechina tattoo this weekend!!!!
So happy that the harsh vocals are back. The mix of them and Mel's are so good
