Thank you 😁
Thank you :)
I put Abstract Illusion on when I go to sleep and I just drift away and get lost in the melodies. Sensational band and definitely in my top favourites
What a fucking band man. I swear even after a full week of re-listening to this I find myself smirking every time when the intro hits. Damn guys yours are the next album I'm buying no questions asked. I'm serious, I know music is about tastes and tasting but just this week I've heard over 50 new (to me) metal albums and I can safely say that yours goes top of the list heads and shoulders. Such sick riffs dreamy complex melodies and deep brutality! You rock guys rock!
Absolutely love these kind words of yours
If Floyd had ever gone metal.
Absolutely love this album, guys. Job well done.
1/29/21 update. I wrote my original comment after only a handful of listens, not yet realizing that I would hear nothing even remotely as beautiful as this in the years to follow. Illuminate the Path has become the gold standard for me- the album against which all other beautiful metal records has and will be judged. Hands down this is my favorite metal album of the past 10 years.
Finding gems like these that reignite my love for metal ❤️
If you dont search you will not love
Can't stop listening....again & again & again....Magnum Opus!!!
This is the best album i've ever heard in my entire life since winter's gate from insomnium :"|
That is my favourite album, it's perfect 😁
I already posted this at one of the individual songs but this album reminds me very much of Ne Obliviscaris (Portal of I). Both absolutely brilliant.
Coming here after having listened to Woe a few times. Unsurprisingly, this is also fantastic. You’ve set the bar very high for yourselves with these two albums lol. Incredible work!
You guys are LIFE!!!...Fvcking amazing. \m/,,,
My son just recommended "Moe" to me so as I checked it out I came across this as well. Suffice it to say I've ordered both CDs. Great music guys!
Haha that's awesome, thanks for that Chris!
MOE
Alright, I listened to the entire album. I had never heard of the band before; in fact, I didn't even know they existed. I clicked shuffle while working, and I found an excellent album. It's very well composed, and the entire production is impeccable. It truly is a piece of work that transports us to an alternative universe in our minds. However, as a composer, I need to share that perhaps the clean vocals on the album bothered me a bit, but it's just a personal preference at the moment. Maybe I would have written the lines differently. I apologize for the critique; talking about music is something very personal for each individual. Excellent job guys!
Dans mon top 10 immédiatement
Your work is beautiful. I've never heard something that I immediately loved so much since Opeth's Damnation, long time ago. Keep doing stuff as fresh as this. I can't wait to learn the basslines. Greetings from Colombia.
All day listnening the album and want it more and more.
The final is apotheosis.
Una obra maestra.
You guys gave me goosebumps, I don't always get goosebumps. Your atmosphere is godlike. Your sound reminded me of my favorite band, Ne Obliviscaris. Cheers, keep it metal. \m/
My favorite band too, nothing compares.
Gonna go ahead and say count me in the same camp. Nothing compares to Ne Obliviscaris..... Especially Portal of I. Not even the band themselves can compare to their own genius on that album!
Right? I thought the same thing first time I heard this band, they do have a similar "poetic metal" atmosphere. Ne Obliviscaris is perfection itself !!
Both this and NeO are insane. Love both
need vinyl, this record is amazing, side note, vakuum sounds a hell of a lot like tempting time by animals as leaders.
Breathe. Create. Beauty is probably one of the most amazing things I've ever heard, especially at 2:04! What a masterpiece boys!
Bravo et merci.
Вы молодцы вдохновляете!
Very good music. When the last track is finished you want to listen one more time everything... It's something special. Congratulations 👏👏👏
Waiting for more like this.
Thank you! We just recently released a new album.
Awesome of you guys to post the entire album here! Keep up the amazing musicianship!
wow amazing album, full of beauty and darkness
This lyrics for Abode of a god
Feeling my wrath and cold
Frostbitten by my voice and soul
Leaving your endless fear
When entering my frozen domain
Lost in an eerie austere
Stumbling blinded by falling snow
Reaching towards heaven for aid in vain
Your spirit is mine
Doubt clouds my mind
Lost in this maze of confusion
Longing for a way out
Your doom is coming
This time you are alone
Hunting on cold winter nights
My soul isolated by
Devabhumi
Feel my cold blood boil
Presence unknown
Taste your blood and pus
As I break all your bones
Crushed by my throne
Lost in an eerie austere
Crawling blinded with crumbled limbs
Reaching towards heaven for aid in vain
Our spirits entwine
Doubt clouds my mind
Lost in this maze of confusion
Longing for a way out
Your doom is coming
This time you are alone
Hunting on cold winter nights
My soul isolated by
Devabhumi
Soon you will fly
Leave your spirit (and die)
Rest and dream away
Embrace your last
SIGH
The abode of the god
Obscures your mind
Lost in this maze of confusion
Longing for a way out
Your doom is coming
This time you are alone
Hunting on cold winter nights
My soul isolated by
Devabhumi
I AM HIMALAYA
I AM ETERNAL
Как же это красиво
brilliant.it's not music, it's inspiration
Loved it when I first heard it 2 years ago and still loving it today.
Oh my god....... my jaw hit the floor!
Not to keep repeating the masses of other comments but, this is a fucking GREAT album.
BANDOTA......RECOMENDADO AL 100%....POCAMADRE TRABAJO DE ESTOS CABRONAZOS!!!!

You guys are amazing. I am looking forward to the future releases. Hopefully on CD :)
I have to say im really impressed about how melodic this metal album is from abstract illusion. This gives me so much strength everytime i listen to it. Especially now since i have fallen back into a relapse, but THIS helps so much and I can confidently say im almost back out of it again. Stick to your path guys and don’t forget, stay hard!❤
Pretty fucking good. Only expected to listen to it for a second, but that didn't happen.
...no comment, pure love !!! Great Band, great album, masterpiece !!!
Another prog death gem !!! Fuckin A+ bruh !!
Amazing work!
Love the layers and depth in this album. I have listened to it several times and keep finding all these great musical moments I did not notice. I only wish I had the CD and lyric book and was able to really dive into this.
Wow. What an amazing album.
this album will stick in my head for a long time, it's just amazing
Unexpected Windir!
Today I heard it for the first time - phenomenal!
Thank you
Quite possibly the greatest band ever
Damn, this is great stuff, reminds me of Enshine and Omnum Gatherum
Tfw när du hittar An Abstract Illusion och det finns en skiva, kul att man känner igen Vakuum!
amazing. beautiful. artistic.
Thank god for the youtube and it's "suggestions to you" feature... One of the best suggestions recently \w/
Janne Tarhanen the suggested and related videos of the CZcams dimension directs me through life. like, literally. I spend more time than I will even admit, surfing through wherever CZcams leads me to next. I've found at least a hundred amazing new bands this month, all thanks to CZcams. most are from the channels I'm subscribed to here though
This is a masterpiece.
Thank you for this, been looking for something new to get the chills running down my back. Rocka på för fullt :D
Coverkillernation added this to his top 5 recent albums as of August.
SMART MAN.
brucenatelee I think it's pretty obvious why I did that now. :)
Dude I'm getting caught up on my listening still but this is STILL one of the better records from this year. My faves rn are Gorguts, Inanimate Existence, Hannes Grossmann and Insomnium tho
Zyborggian one of the best. not just one of the better. this is one of the greatest masterpieces to date, and will remain so
THE DEBUT FROM JOSH MIDDLETON PROJECT (Sylosis composer) WAS BASICALLY THE BEST THING
I must say, that I'm truly enchanted...This music is MAGICAL!
Mindfuckingblowing
This is a great album
Please release this on vinyl!
Every moment in this album is just amazing. I can't wait to see what this band becomes with their future albums. Beautiful and diverse, I absolutely can't stop listening to this. (And yes like everyone else here thanks CKN for this amazing recommendation)
Jesus... This is really really good! Reminds me of the good bits of Thyrfing, Wilderun and Xerath mashed together with a bit of 3 Inches of Blood! def gonna check these guys out more
Amazing album, great music!
Just, wow!
amazing album
Just bought the album. So glad I discovered you guys, keep it up!
Thank you very much guys for sharing your entire album. It's been an amazing discovery. Keep doing what you do, and I hope to see you on tour as soon as possible !
This is beautiful, I love it so much.
I always have to give an album with this kind of cover art a listen because it’s 100% going to be something beautiful.
I love it!🌺
Amazing!
The legend says that after the recording, the bass drum committed suicide :D
It served us well.
Fantastic album!
The the first "full blown" melody somewhat reminds me of Anathema's Untouchable. Great album!
Sounds great so far. I've yet to see if it can last for eternity. Will do a review for this at Metal Utopia.
Gideon Nikos Liquid I have faith in this album's illuminating your path, and helping you through eternity. it will last, as long as you remember
awesome stuff,
Great songs, production, and awesome angry/depressive vocals!
Totally great job!
Amazing album, top notch quality! It can compete easily with the new Be'lakor album in my opinion... Very awesome! \m/
Brillawemagperfect!!! Liked, Subscribed. You have a new fan for life.
woah this is really damn good
wauuu !!! esta genial este álbum :) .
Great work. The intro especially is very uplifting and, well, beautiful.
Great album! Made a fan outta me!
Immense good Album. Wow.
very good music, beautiful
Beautiful intro album! AMAZING!!
love your music. wow. really good.
Harry Henderson hi harry
great album.. ✝
I finally found out what the song Talvatis reminds me of.. it sounds very similar to Collapse The Light Into Earth by Porcupine Tree!!
Glad I'm not the only one to notice.
yep same chord progression and same tempo. I figured it's a tip of the hat to a brilliant musician
Amazing title
Awesome album. It's like a mixture between All that Remains(earlier stuff), Persefone and some Dan Swano influence
melhor banda
..this album said what it said and Im in the right path..;)
I love you guys, cheers from colombia!!
Norther Child cheers from Boise, Idaho, USA
Oh so that's why you're so good
Because you're swedish
You have viking blood in you!
EPIC EPIC EPIC MUSIC!!!!!
Now, what's up with Talvatis that reminds me soooo much of "Collapse the Light into Earth" by Porcupine Tree?
Thanks for Windir
Putain de groupe, putain d'album. Merci An Abstract 🙏
Альбом очень понравился.Хорошее сочетание melodic death и прогрессивных элементов+наличие глубокой атмосферности и медитативности.Музыка не перегружена авангардными элементам, и довольно целостная.Очень подозреваю, что лирическая концепция также интересна
Very nice.
I read your facebook posting about Windir and Sognametal, which descripes pretty well my own enthusiasm and fascination for Windir.
This brought me here to listen to the whole album. Not only the Windir cover is great, I also like the rest of the album very much. Will it also be released on CD?
Thank you Lundamyrtstrollet (great name btw), I'm happy you share the same passion for Windir as we do.
Yes, it will be released on CD. We'll announce it on FB when we have them.
Oh yes, the name...I have no idea if "Lundamyrstrollet" is grammatically correct at all when it stands alone without the rest of the title. But I love how it sounds.
Good to hear that there will be a CD.
+Lundamyrstrollet Yeah, it translates to "The troll of Lundamyri" so it's correct!
seriously, this is one of the best records I've ever heard and I've only listened through to the second song so far. absolutely beautiful, one of a kind. this is such a fuckin great mix of black, melodic, heavy, technical, and fucking emotion. wow, times like, infinity lol. is the band doing any touring? where is the band from?
Hey Ben, sorry for the slow response. We're not doing any touring at the moment, but we hope that'll change. And we're from the north of Sweden.
ofc you are from Sweden where else do they make such good metal...
@@skepticmonkey6923 Aether Realm's album Tarot is in the running, I'd say. North Carolina.
42:20 The same chord progression as Porcupine Tree's Collapse The Light Into Earth. Great album though, cheers!
Really cool Songs :D
But the first one reminds me alot on Koven - More than You
Please, can you provide the instrumental version ? For karaoke.
Reminds me of Ne Obliviscaris.
