I honestly believe will swan is the greatest guitarist of our time. The dude does solo-status riffs and they're just for backing instrumentals. I mean damn dude.
they disliked it because now they have such a high standard of good music that its hard to jam the fuck out as hard as one does to this magical creation
i was just trying to figure out who the lead singer or the song sounded like and u fucking hit the nail on the head. circa survive. ty that was going to annoy me all night.
Are you kidding me right now? Three-four of my favourite bands clashed to make this masterpiece and I only hear about it now? Shame on you social media.. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to begin the process of cherishing this band for the rest of my life.
Having listened to this song about 300 times this month, I’m convinced this is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time. Not just in this genre, not just in rock. Phenomenal writing, perfectly executed.
anybody else notice it is essentially a room where if you aren't playing your hardest, you are teleported out. In this case it ended up as a competition between the drummer and bassist. In which the bassist is the victor. They are all looking at him through the glass like "holy shit man"
@@OmmyThestral I think OPs in the right track, theres a reason they're all in the studio losing their minds, constantly focusing on the producer. something about the pressures of recording an album with a band full of ridiculous musicians. they're all trying to outdo each other (best highlighted during the climax with the drummer and bassist intently playing AT each other) the lyrics have some psychedelic imagery (moving walls, frigid halls, snarling voices, self reflection "we are the problem now") that might play into the overall meaning, everyone except Joe has been pretty open about drug use afaik. I might be projecting, but I think that's the point with videos as vague as this... to fill in the gaps.
I think it's a literal interpretation of the lyrics. I think he's saying what if these walls could talk, what would they reveal and about what past lives? Eventually, they are in grafted into the walls. They are history now. They are not pleading for escape so they arent stuck. They just represent the people at the end of the verse. We are those people now. The bassist might be alone playing but, his band isnt there anymore. He's playing as if that's what he's always *been doing. He left going home but didnt seem scared. Like, it's another day. Perhaps he's gone solo and is just in the music. The "walls" also house a room. It is monitored by someone outside. Maybe its paranormal but also, maybe that's showbiz. People come and go and if the walls could talk. But this is about omniphobia, the fear of everything. So perhaps the guy on the laptop is suffering from that. Maybe he's a manager and had been seeing artists or is investigating a haunted house. Maybe its fear of just being a memory. After looking st the previous comment, maybe it's the fear of being outdone, left behind and left just being a memory. Because anything can be scary. If you are scared of everything, you might just cease to be history in the walls instead of living? Just spitballing here.
Hail the Sun is where it's at, Donovan (vocals) is so active in different bands I just hop between whatever project he's involved with lol. He's been a part of his own self titled solo tracks, Hail the Sun (new album in April), Sianvar, Nova Charisma, and those are only the ones I'm aware of he could be doing even more stuff 😂
@@raspygrandma7494 yeah i love that all the musicians I follow are in so many projects like Tim in DGD + Wolf and Bear, The boys in DGD and Secret Band, Kurt Travis and his projects, Donovan in HTS, Nova Charisma, etc. this community is gonna flourish for a long time
I love Donovan Melero. If you are new to this vein of the genre, check out Hail The Sun and Nova Charisma. Those two along with Sianvar have been making such good music. Love you Donovan you are a huge inspiration and one of my personal favorite drummer/vocalist.
Same! I found Sianvar, Nova Charisma, and Hail The Sun all at the same time and imagine how confusing it was for me to realise it wasn't all just Anthony Green, especially since he's in Circa Survive and Saosin already loll
@@drankFoD this doesn't sound like dgd really at all... i know Will Swan is here but it's way darker, way more psychedelic, and just an entirely different vibe... it seems that Donovan has a big impact on any band he's in and it becomes darker... in a good way.
Don't forget Michael Franzino - He is on bass in this video, but he is a SICK guitarist and was the leading force behind A Lot Like birds, Kurt Travis' project after DGD
their sound is much more controlled on this song. I hope the rest of the album follows suit. this band has a lot of potential but theres a lot of creative force going on too. not a bad thing but it can be hard to coordinate.
I saw them when they were touring with DGD and it was sad that not that many people were singing along/moshing/emgaged. For a band with the talent this has they don't get nearly enough recognition. I get that their sound is a little bit different from the usual stuff but they're fantastic imo.
Donny is not on drums, but it's okay because they have pretty much the only drummer in the world who can match him for pure listen-ability, Joseph Arrington.
when i meditate i focus on my breathing that's the one thing that i can do or think about. making it a manual thing and when my mind starts to travel off onto other things that i'm trying to take a break from i stop breathing. when i start to notice that i'm thinking about things i shouldn't is when i start to feel the affect of my body running out of the stored air/ suffocation. sometimes it gives me the push i need to really think about the things i need to so i can become aware of things that i need to change in myself
I don't know why but this song makes me think of how frustrating it can be when recording a song at a studio with people. Getting everyone to get their individual tracking correctly... When you're tracking and it feels like everyone is watching you... Spending countless hours in the studio getting the song just right... Deciding to stay after to record or mix after everyone has left... I doubt that's what this video was going for but I see a lot of frustration.
Literally just discovered these guys. Best thing to discover. For some reason this song reminds me of the most dangerous commercials by circa survive and I have no idea why. They aren’t even remotely close. But so good!
Sianvar isn't a band anymore but if you want something similar check out Hail The Sun. It has the same vocalist/drummer, a very similar style, and the same (if not better) energy
This band is fuc*** awesome one of my new favorites I can’t believe I haven’t heard of them before the first time blew my mind this is one of my favorite songs too ❤️
I can't stop listening to this. Can't wait for the new album and can't wait to see them in San Antonio in sept with Save us From The Archon! And my Iron Lung as well :p
This is really amazing guys! It reminds me Circa Survive too, also Saosin (yes, Anthony Green soul)... but it´s more powerfull, with that percussion touches! I really like it! I hope you come to Madrid some day!
What an awesome band. Just amazing guys. Your music touches my heart and soul. It makes me cry its so beautiful. Phenomal job fellas. 1100 days into is just mind blowing. The emotions I fell from the music you all created are UN derscibable. I love u guys. Keep up the good work. Don't split up and don't give up.

No worries Claudio, it's also mine.
+The Claudio musically they sucked lol they made it all about the vocalist
I honestly believe will swan is the greatest guitarist of our time. The dude does solo-status riffs and they're just for backing instrumentals. I mean damn dude.
Yea but can't forget the likes of Bulb and Holcomb
Tosin Abasi?
Dude, he does the solo in Powder to the People as he's rapping! Fucker is a legend.
And don't get me started on the Arpeggio plucking.. Goodness..
You want another amazing guitarists? Check out Thank You Scientist. Tom Monda is his name I believe. I am so happy I have one of his picks.
They sound like Circa Survive with the difficulty maxed out
Zacpack91 😂😂
Yup
Anthony Green ft. Mars Volta

Coviid immunities to travel?
At 4:10, Mike's looking at Joe like "You better play that shit," and Joe's looking back at Mike like "Oh, I'm PLAYING that shit nigga"
who the fuck disliked this piece of magical noise
Right?
Marco Lazo 61 weirdo losers
they disliked it because now they have such a high standard of good music that its hard to jam the fuck out as hard as one does to this magical creation
Guinness record for most drum fills in a song
😂😂
Nah that'd go to Slipknot with Joey Jordison lmao
I heard a couple parts that weren't fills... I think...
@@banananaz674 wtf? Joey fkn sucks lol
@@elchangux joey does not suck huh
If Circa and The Mars Volta had a love child
derek motta would u please recommend bands like this. I love the mars Volta good tiger protest the hero. recommend a lot please
Chepo Joe Polyphia, A lot like birds, Periphery, Saosin their older stuff is better imo
i was just trying to figure out who the lead singer or the song sounded like and u fucking hit the nail on the head. circa survive. ty that was going to annoy me all night.
check out animals as leaders and volumes... I haven't been keeping up with a lot of this music too much lately but they're good
My ovaries
Are you kidding me right now? Three-four of my favourite bands clashed to make this masterpiece and I only hear about it now? Shame on you social media..
Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to begin the process of cherishing this band for the rest of my life.
sianvar has been a thing since 2013
Lavaalamp Yes ofcourse, which makes it even worse.
Have you been hiding under a rock???
Katt Mitchell Yes, this is Patrick.
How can you blame social media? That's all on you.
Having listened to this song about 300 times this month, I’m convinced this is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time. Not just in this genre, not just in rock. Phenomenal writing, perfectly executed.
Listen to the whole album and their lp. All of donovan meleros music is amazing
Gambit resilla
And you've been bless btw
Of all Sacramento area progressive post-hardcore bands, Sianvar is my favorite.
When this band came on my Spotify recommends I refused to believe this wasn't another Anthony Green side project. That voice is uncanny!
Always enjoy Sergio and Will's playing. Sergio has the sweep to tap movement down really well.
The drums are just incredible
Joseph arrington is a great drummer
anybody else notice it is essentially a room where if you aren't playing your hardest, you are teleported out. In this case it ended up as a competition between the drummer and bassist. In which the bassist is the victor. They are all looking at him through the glass like "holy shit man"
Holy shit, it certainly does seem like that. But, HUH??
Thanks for this interpretation. I was just thinking: what the hell does this video mean. lol

I love Donovan Melero. If you are new to this vein of the genre, check out Hail The Sun and Nova Charisma. Those two along with Sianvar have been making such good music.
Love you Donovan you are a huge inspiration and one of my personal favorite drummer/vocalist.
Hail the sun is fire
Check out his solo work too
This song popped up on Spotify and I was like “oh, Anthony green is in another band? Oh boy!” Then I was introduced to Mars. Wow impressive vocals
the mars volta has some of the craziest vocals ever
It does sound like Anthony if I imagine him
fr d i’ll
Same! I found Sianvar, Nova Charisma, and Hail The Sun all at the same time and imagine how confusing it was for me to realise it wasn't all just Anthony Green, especially since he's in Circa Survive and Saosin already loll
Comments like this make me so happy. Hope you've enjoyed The Mars Volta as much as I did ♥️
Will Swan is god of post-hardcore guitarist
The shnozzberries taste like shnozzberries.
I just gotta say. I think my favorite part is the drummer. He was my favorite part of A Lot Like Birds too. He might be my favorite drummer.
dreaminginnoother listen to Circa Survive's drummer
@@harrybaggins666 dude circa's drummer is amazing
Getting a super Mars Volta vibe. Super excited for the album!
Volta Survive?
Circa The Mars?
Naytone surive the mars
Dance mars survive
Circa Survive the dance on Mars
Gavin Survives At The Dance on Mars?
Idc who you compare them to they have their own unique sound and it's so dope to me.
For sure! Hope you've been listening to Donovan and Sergio's new band, Nova Charisma. Shit is absolutely fire.
@@jacob5061 i know what i'll be doing this morning thanks bro!
Dance Gavin dance
Hail The Sun

Two of the sicked guitarists out there. Great stuff.
Don't forget Michael Franzino - He is on bass in this video, but he is a SICK guitarist and was the leading force behind A Lot Like birds, Kurt Travis' project after DGD
The Mars Volta + Circa Survive

Very constructive +1

This track is amazing! Can't wait for the album!!!
The distorted guitar tones in this track are CLEAN!!!!
THAT CICATRIZ GROOVE.
I WAS SO THINKING THIS
You can tell they take inspiration from old Mars Volta shit in multiple ways. The groove is undeniable though
Yes!!
Donny is not on drums, but it's okay because they have pretty much the only drummer in the world who can match him for pure listen-ability, Joseph Arrington.
Don't forget the Mingus.
Is Joey Baca not a thing?
russejg True, his work on Language was unbelievable.
Luke Davies rt
Carlo is pretty raw too

An intense version of Chon with Vocals.
Adrian Katzenstein YES
Well agreed
I love chon
I didn't think they could beat there EP, but this not only beats it, it blows that album way out of perspective of how fantastic this is!!! So hyped!
You can feel the vibes of all the bands they play for, its awesome when put together.
Reminds me a lot of Circa Survive
I was thinking the same thing, but that's a really good thing haha
CIRCA SURVIVE - DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
Lex Rock I was thinking the same thing :D
Aun así es muy buena la rola
That's amazing considering there are no similarities whatsoever
Connector by A Lot Like Birds
same drummer
Loved the Mars Volta influence in the base and drum rhythm.
I don't know why but this song makes me think of how frustrating it can be when recording a song at a studio with people. Getting everyone to get their individual tracking correctly... When you're tracking and it feels like everyone is watching you... Spending countless hours in the studio getting the song just right... Deciding to stay after to record or mix after everyone has left... I doubt that's what this video was going for but I see a lot of frustration.
I'd like to see these guys in the studio, they wrote and tracked this album in like 2 weeks
+Christian Gonzales idk about writing... They've played this song and another one live back in 2015
They may have tracked it that quickly, but there's no way in hell they wrote it that quickly
+ProfCereal yeah in December lol and this album has been done for months they've just been sitting on it
At the end - freaking bassists.
Literally just discovered these guys. Best thing to discover. For some reason this song reminds me of the most dangerous commercials by circa survive and I have no idea why. They aren’t even remotely close. But so good!
This is an extraordinary combination of incredible musicians. I cannot wait to hear more!
don't matter if they sound similar to another band. they're all unique in their own way. badass.
Goosebumps through the entire ep. Absolutely incredible idea and sound.
I don't there's ever been an album before where I just listen to the whole thing at once. This is a god damn masterpiece.
I wanna more Sianvar staff!!
Sianvar isn't a band anymore but if you want something similar check out Hail The Sun. It has the same vocalist/drummer, a very similar style, and the same (if not better) energy
I clicked this by accident without reading the title and nostalgia is kicking my ass right now.
JonTron's new band is sick! \m/
Most people probably won't get the reference you're making.
I see the resemblance lightweight lol
+datniggapatyo I did 😂
I Guessss Donovan kinda vaguely looks like Jontron?
Why?
google searched omniphobia and you're first suggestion. That's cool!
I just fucking love how WILD Donovan goes in this video.
this band has a very fresh new sound. I am really digging it.
This song is good, but the rest album just bangs even harder- really good
What a great line up
Will can't contain his genius in one band, so he created another two.
Growing intensely. love it!
Sergio killing it again 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Did anyone crap themselves when they saw adorable Donny with SHORT HAIR
Gotta love a dope performance video! Such a great song!
Good voice. I've been looking for it for a long time. Just beautiful music.
Every Band Will Swan is in is guaranteed to shred.
This is excellent, I can't wait for the album release.
wow. just incredible.
They will never tell you, so I‘ll spill the beans. This is secretly Jazz.
Ugh I wish so badly that they would release at LEAST one more E.P... The probability is incredibly slim, but one can dream. 🙏🏻💜
The best work from all these musicians.
everything is so perfect. La atmosfera, the música, el vid. Will, sergio.... without palabras parce.
I am honestly in love with this
Sergio ty for melting my face one again
Love these guys!
I’m addicted. I don’t know how much longer I can give in to it.
2:38 could be a mars volta breakdown. Coulda heard Cedric start singing and wouldn't have been the least surprised.
Magical guitar parts all day long!
This is a SUPER MEGA BAND WTF!!!!!!!!!!???? Literally screaming out! Stumbled upon this listening to a hail the sun playlist! Wow!!!!
Will Swan isn’t capable of producing music that isn’t completely awesome. This much I know. This, DGD, Coda. All absolutely elite bands.
This band is fuc*** awesome one of my new favorites I can’t believe I haven’t heard of them before the first time blew my mind this is one of my favorite songs too ❤️
So beautiful!
This is so good
Woooooo the album comes out on my birthday, bestest present :D
Amazing album in my collection, thanks for vid
Killing it!
I've never seen such shred in one video
I can't stop listening to this. Can't wait for the new album and can't wait to see them in San Antonio in sept with Save us From The Archon! And my Iron Lung as well :p
0:35 sick laptop solo
Anthony Green looks different.
This is some beautiful music, and these are some beautiful dudes.
This is really amazing guys! It reminds me Circa Survive too, also Saosin (yes, Anthony Green soul)... but it´s more powerfull, with that percussion touches! I really like it! I hope you come to Madrid some day!
So ridiculously good

Awesome song!
